Do not be deceived
Matthew 24:4-5 is Jesus’ response to his disciples asking how they will know when the end times are coming. He said, “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.” (NIV) Luke 21:8 captured the same response, only stated as “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.” (NIV) In these two remembrances of Jesus’

For Applicants in Discernment
It is a wonderful life decision to choose to serve God as one of His holy priests. It is a life decision ALL God’s children are called to make. The block that presents itself to the modern children of God – since the Reformation especially – is the question: How does one become recognized as a priest of God?

Talks with God
God spoke to me, saying “Tell them I love them.” I wrote that and posted it on multiple places of the Internet. God spoke to me and said again, “Tell them I love them.” I said to God, “They do not read what I told them.” God said, “Some read some of what you write. Some hear my words.” I replied, “I see a few clicks, but no one comments.” God said, “They do not love me yet, but tell them I love them again.” I wrote that and posted it on multiple places of the Internet. I

What about twenty-first century Christians?
And as Jesus was perched atop the mount overlooking the sea of people who could hear even his slightest whisper because of the descending cool air sweeping down from the sky, across his shoulders and carrying his words down the hillside to the crowd, someone in the crowd yelled out, “Jesus! What about the Christians that will come at the end of this age, in the twenty-first century?” Sweet, kind, loving Jesus pondered and then his eyes began to glow like coals on fire and hi

The greatest lie ever told; or, The greatest story no longer told
Here Americans are without religion of any merit. Like Jesus’ disciples did as he hung dying on a cross, like they did when his body was taken down and prepared for temporary burial, and like they were when it was discovered his body was no longer in the tomb, Americans of ‘faith’ are sheltering in place, afraid “I’m next.” (Shudder in place.) Facebook church. Makes me remember my mother giving up going to church after I stopped going at sixteen. She found religion on televi

Maundy Thursday
Holy Week is a creation of the Roman Catholic Church. In order to not be Jewish, Christians need their own special week, which cannot be called Passover. Forget about Jesus being a Jew and forget about the first Christians being Jews. Forget about how the first Gentile converts to Christianity adopted the Passover, because the rituals of Holy Week were commanded by some pope, not God. Regardless of the truth that Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, and it is truth, the

Infinity
The symbol engraved inside each ring, between the two sets of initials, means “infinity.” Google says the mathematical term for the symbol is “sometimes called the lemniscate ,” which is two ovals, created by the points of two foci, joined into a figure 8 (∞). Lyn and I were the two foci, creating the ovals of our lives, before we met. When we married we became forever joined [infinity], which is more than a statement of “for as long as you shall live together in human bodies

Matthew 25:31-33 - Sheep and Goats
Matthew 25:31-33 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. ————————————————————— First: There is no separation based on the color of wool.
