Ever go to a mall to find a hundred stores owned by the same company putting different names on the same product to give the impression of choice? How is religion different? Perhaps the personality seeks that which suits itself to avoid further seeking or change. It's like clothing. Instead of...
Zeal for the Word,
Our souls bought first,
So that when pages turn,
bright margins appear.
There, context explains
God’s fresh notes of faith.
Remembering the Word,
How life from it burns,
Shows roads from the past,
For each pilgrim’s progress.*
Such templates make knees
To touch floors...
“..God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before...
“I will stand on my guard post
And station myself on the rampart;
And I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me,
And how I may reply when I am reproved.
Then the Lord answered me and said,
‘Record the vision
And inscribe it on tablets,
That the one who reads it may run.
For the vision is...
All were soon asleep, but each slept uneasily, and would awaken for short moments. But all was entirely quiet.
In the morning there was brightness from outside showing. Deseradar and Fisepel removed all the items placed at the simple door, and soon were able to open it. They both saw that the...
Some have speculated that communication in Heaven might well be via thought. However, there are enough biblical references to give credence to the expectation that verbal communications do now exist there and will in the future. Perhaps also some "thought-talk" will be there for the saints as...
This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he *said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he...
“O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O Lord, You know it all.
You...
“O that You would slay the wicked, O God;
Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.
For they speak against You wickedly,
And Your enemies take Your name in vain.
Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
I hate them with the utmost hatred...
“My son, keep my words
And treasure my commandments within you.
Keep my commandments and live,
And my teaching as the apple of your eye.
Bind them on your fingers;
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’
And call understanding your intimate friend;
That they...
There is only one Spirit of the Father, and all those who are a part of it throughout history are on the same frequency, no matter how much their identities differs. They are one with God and each other. Those who claim to be on track but do not follow His Will stand out, their adversarial...
Our Cloister Garden
This morning, we experienced a brief but gentle rain. Our cloister garden, dark green and vibrant, seemed to come alive, with all the trees and plants looking 'happy'. For nearly 55 years, I have walked through this garden, traveling to and from church. During the day, I...
Blessed Divine Love,
Greatest gift, bestowed in staggering simplicity:
For there was
A sentence over us, a Cross;
A Sacrifice, then doubt sealed by man;
A stone rolled, where, aside, Jesus posed;
A woman scurrying back
To utter the timeless “Risen!”;
Christ seen, listened to, observed in...
What does our president know? Who is really running the countryy?
And btw, where are all the deals? China is being tough....and Trump is caving:
We learn from reading Ephesians 5:1-6 that we are to be followers of God/Christ who walk in love, a love which comes from God and which is obedient to his commands. And we are to be becoming like Jesus in mind, character, and action, by the Spirit, in the power of God. We are no longer to be...
Big news this week includes the fact that there is a new Pope. I am not Catholic, but I am hopeful that this pope is compassionate and godly.
Saw this today, and thought "yeah, he was born in Chicago so this is how he should have been introduced as the Pope...
