The epidemic core remains repentance — look up! I’m sitting here on my Shabbat wondering why this has come upon us. Actually, I’ve been praying about that and seeking for my response since early March. Church comes online in fifteen minutes. That’s good. But what would the Lord have me do for you? The task He’s given me this morning centers around what He’s doing now in the world. This pandemic presents itself as a birth pang, … Continue reading →
Is child-like faith conversion required to be mature? Here we see an underlying reason why Satan has worked so hard to destroy the family. Beginning in the fifties, the world has relentlessly ridiculed fathers, expected women to take control, empowered children, sexualized society, driven material prosperity, and all the rest. One of the results of this happens to many. My child-like trust of my father in the flesh was basically destroyed when I was six and seven … Continue reading →
Your choice controls your destination heaven or hell. It really is as simple as that. The Lord Jesus sent you to the earth so you could choose to love Him. That’s why he made mankind. He is looking for friends to like and love Him—who like being with Him, talking with Him, sharing things with Him. While I watch people willing to do almost anything to avoid giving up their sin, I sit quietly talking with the … Continue reading →
Empower Bible reading with the help of the author. There is a major difference between reading the Bible and asking the Lord to show you what He wants you to learn today. The Bible amazes me. But, an author guided read transforms my life—every day. The author of the book matters much more than the book itself Fortunately, the Bible’s author lives within you. If you haven’t tried it yet, ask the Holy Spirit [or Jesus] to … Continue reading →
Peace relax mitigations working better than 1918. I received a post from Grady’s Fire in my bones blog today. As you can see from the graphic he used, to the left, we tried many of the same things in 1918. I know it’s different times—no air travel then, we had no antibiotics to use until WWII, no anti-virals, and many more things. BUT, with 103,000,000 people in that day and 675,000 killed, that’s .5% killed. If we have … Continue reading →
Offering free bible studies of the epistles which are now available for you—as we shelter in place under government orders. My prayer is that they will bless you and give you hope. I’ve always taught scripture verse-by-verse, since 1974. My students have found that it really helps to go over everything in context. I’ve advertised them as bible study free for alls. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own version. The room used provides copies of bibles in … Continue reading →
Almost time to go. Maranatha! I had a little fun with a spring-time t-shirt. Here’s a link. I’ll add the graphics below. Of course, it’s Zazzle so you can use the designs on anything. Front: Over the heart Back: covers the back I pray you have a blessed Passover/Easter feast. He is risen!!!
Continue reading →The distraction of COVID-19 fear is foolishness. I’m not saying that the virus is not dangerous. You should be following the CDC guidelines. But the fear is foolishness. Life in the flesh is a terminal condition. Your flesh is going to die. There have only been two men in history whose flesh did not die: Enoch and Ezekiel. This is nothing new and the death of your flesh is no big deal. Unless, of course, you have … Continue reading →
For an Author Website I recommend a WordPress blog — A traditional static site starts at about two grand. But, a fully interactive, responsive site with e-commerce can easily start at $50,000 US and go much higher than that. Obviously, this is much more than most of us need as authors—maybe. It’s also far beyond our budgets in most cases. If you want a good article on excellent author sites, from a worldly point of view, here’s … Continue reading →
Book business has a good article today entitled: Are content curators becoming more important than content creators? In many ways they are, especially in niches for non-fiction. For example, on my companion blog, Reality Calling, it’s main purpose has become the curation of Christian speculative fiction. These books are hard to find because the major book sites like Amazon, Nook, iBooks, and Kobo have no way to effectively search for them. So, my constant book reviews provide a way for … Continue reading →
