Here are some thoughts on a conversational relationship with the Lord. This is extremely important—quite possibly required. Take it seriously, please. It’s not for nothing that Jesus talked to His disciples in the context of marriage. We are not called the Bride of Christ for no reason. What Jesus wants from each of us is intimacy. But it doesn’t just happen. You need to spend time on developing this relationship. It’s very much on the level of …Continue reading →
The encouraging prophetic hope — within our current state of big brother overreach, societal fragmentation, and evil lying delusion — delivers immense joy to us. The kosmos, Satan’s worldly kingdom, will disappear — totally destroyed. The end is near. Today this post concerns the Bride — I’m not sure this will be available to the general population in the millennium. But it is almost a sure thing for the redesigned creation after Almighty God dissolves this reality in …Continue reading →
The Maranatha exclamation shows your desire. Come, My Lord! [the meaning of Maranatha] has come to be expressed by those of us who earnestly desire the Lord to come back, today—if possible. The difficult communication by faith with Jesus will be replaced by knowing as we are presently known by Him. We will have open conscious communication with Jesus at all times. What a wonderful thing! Has it occurred to you that this desire may be required? …Continue reading →
Throughout my life as an artist/designer I have been struck with how black and white often provides focus. It’s beautiful visual decision, but it tends to be more difficult than color. Elegance and simplicity are very hard to achieve without being stark and lifeless. The painting on the left is the first one I painted after I met Jesus in January, 1974. Being left-handed, it reads from right to left. The simple exuberance of leaving the chaos …Continue reading →
Developing Christian spiritual maturity should be a normal progression in the faith. It’s not—partially because it’s not taught. This part of the strait and narrow path is rarely talked about—maturity develops naturally, right? Wrong! If it were automatic, we’d see far more mature Christians than we do. Growing old happens automatically. Maturity does not happen. It develops through dedication, focus, and perseverance. Much of what this series of posts will talk about comes through experience. The writer …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 →

This is an excerpt from “Knowing Jesus as His Bride” As Americans we have some unique problems that people do not in other countries. We believe we have rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To those we have added the rights of privacy, fairness, prosperity, opportunity, freedom of religion, weapons, fair trials, grand juries, reasonable treatment, and much more. We expect these things. They are our right! The marketing world would have us believe that …Continue reading →
