Jonah 2:9(8) CJB declares, “Those who worship vain idols give up their source of mercy.” … [Read more...] about How Do I Love ME—Let Me Count the Ways

First, something I look forward to every Friday is that Jamie Walden’s mom, Lisa, posts a from-the-heart faith-based message on her Facebook page. In a recent post, Lisa offered a suggested … [Read more...] about Where Is The Love?

Ever had to unplug your modem to clear the cable transmission? That’s one way to look at what my experiences have been since the second week in December 2022.

It started when I asked God if there was something He wanted me to do. I was serious but not intense about this query. Well... He answered with, “Turn off your TV for one week and see what happens.” So I did. … [Read more...] about I Got Disconnected

We cannot watch or listen to anything these days – not ourselves or each other or on TV or the Internet – without seeing and hearing evidence of our/humanity’s broken love.

This especially happens on sites where too many of us post, tweet, or publish expressions of our injured, broken love, though unaware that’s what we’re doing. As Jamie Walden says, we falsely … [Read more...] about Humanity’s Love Is Broken But Can Still Be Healed

God asked, “Do you trust My love as much as you trust My wisdom?” Moment of silence. “No, LORD. My ability to trust love, even Yours, is broken. Please heal me.” God asked that in 2016; this, as do I, continues to be a work in progress.

God wants us to choose an intimate relationship with Him, not consider Him a catalog we order our … [Read more...] about Do You Have Religion Or Relationship?

“In January 2008, Random House published Zimbardo’s impressive yet chilling study on the subject in a book titled The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil. In it, Zimbardo, who was called as an expert psychologist to testify during the trial of one of the Abu Gharib guards, dismantled what happened at that military facility while also reflecting … [Read more...] about The Dangers of Dehumanizing Each Other

First, my friends, there’s not one word written here that isn’t a reflection in a spiritual mirror I hold up for myself, as well as discuss with my LORD Messiah Jesus to help me with. Anything covered here that applies or may apply to you, please know it applies to me too.

A friend who feels challenged by Who and how God is, stated something I used to say and have … [Read more...] about FOR THE LOVE OF GOD: PART 1

I invite you to get a beverage, get situated, and hang on. There’s much going on in the world, and much that needs to get said as we go forward into these days prophesied in God’s Word. Ready? Here we go.

Mainstream Christians are not viewed well these days, for the most part. They/We are certainly distinct from those currently persecuted, tortured, and martyred … [Read more...] about For The Love Of God – Part 2

It happened again: I had a stack of notes, made over several weeks, ready for this month’s article then got a clear understanding in my spirit that I needed/we need to focus on Kingdom vs. religion. That adhering to any man-made religion will never equate to correctly living as an occupant of God’s Kingdom, as rightfully expected by the King of kings.
