Pray that freedom of responsible, professional & meaningful media, press & journalism that does Not lie and does Not exaggerate is upheld & valued in all nations(especially democracies):

What's the whole chapter in Kings about? If God speaks in a "still small voice" then we not likely to hear unless we are quiet within. That can take a bit of time. But I think this is not the whole theology of hearing the Lord. Maybe God speaks to some people moreso from the Bible, it will depend on ones tradition were the emphasis is. In fact if we want to discern whether the voice we hear is the Lord's voice, then we'd need to be well spiritually grounded in Scripture. That's were I would begin.

I'd also suggest Leanne Payne's book Listening Prayer or maybe Dallas Willard's Hearing God (In Search of Guidance) because I think there is a lot more to it than that two minute clip suggests.

Oh, he's about to have all kinds of attention:

On Friday, prosecutors charged Lang with first-degree damage to property, a felony. According to a criminal complaint, Lang requested and was granted protective custody at the jail. He also allegedly told authorities he was "exercising my First Amendment right to artistic expression."

"Complainant notes that the First Amendment does indeed protect artistic expression — the creation and display of an ice sculpture, for example," the complaint read. "The First Amendment does not, however, provide protection against damaging someone else's property."

National Park Service Returns Brochure Calling Civil Rights Leader’s Klansman Assassin A ‘Racist’​

The National Park Service returned brochures they reportedly pulled from a monument honoring civil rights activist Medgar Evers on Thursday, calling his assassin, a Klu Klux Klan member, a “racist” following massive backlash.

Park Service officials told Mississippi Today the brochures at Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument describing Evers’ Byron De La Beckwith as “racist” had been pulled and set to be replaced with a new version, removing that description. The officials told the outlet the original brochures were “outdated.”

Evers, who Trump once called a “hero,” was a World War II veteran who fought segregation in Mississippi upon his return was killed by white supremacist Beckwith in 1963. The activist’s history, however, was wiped from sections of the Arlington National Cemetery website last year.

Haha - it was the worst snowfall I have seen in my life. I woke up during the night, saw it outside the window and it definitely took me by surprise. It is totally dark at night outside my house as there is no lighting and all you can see is a silhouette of trees from the woodland opposite. I had to take a photo and fortunately my camera has a "night mode" function so I think I managed to capture it well!

Prayers…with you

Then off to the right-wing lecture circuit!

Proverbs 21:8,16,21,25,26 NASB1995


The Scriptures, both in the Old Testament and in the New, make a clear distinction between the righteous and the unrighteous, and between the saved and the unsaved. And it isn’t that one person made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and the other did not. It is that one person, by God-gifted and God-persuaded faith in Jesus Christ died with Christ to sin, and is now walking (in conduct) in obedience to our Lord’s commands, by the Spirit, and the other has continued in habitual sin, and not in obeying God.

But this doesn’t make us perfect. It does not mean that we will never sin, or that we will never fail to be who God wants us to be, but that sin should no longer be our practice (addiction), and obedience to God should be what we practice, by his grace. For Jesus Christ gave his life up for us on that cross to put our sins to death with him so that by faith in him we will now die to sin and follow him in obedience to his commands, so that we will now serve him with our lives and no longer our flesh – all in the power of God within us.

So, we often find these comparisons between the righteous and the unrighteous, and the saved and the unsaved, in the Scriptures. And we need to pay close attention to what they teach us. For many people today are buying into the lies of the enemy, and they are being convinced that if they make a verbal profession of faith in Jesus Christ that now all their sins are forgiven and heaven is guaranteed them when they die, but regardless of how they live. But the Scriptures teach the opposite of that. Please know!

So, one who is a genuine follower of Jesus Christ should be one who is pure and upright in conduct, who lives to please the Lord and not the sinful flesh. They should be those who are walking in fellowship with the Lord, eager to do what is pleasing to the Lord, and not looking for loopholes to excuse away what they know is sinful behavior. They should be those who pursue righteousness and what is godly, and who are loyal to the Lord and to his word. Obedience to God should not be a drudgery, but their heart’s desire.

Yet we have many people today who give lip service to the Lord who are still deliberately and habitually walking in the ways of their sinful flesh. Their hearts never changed. Their desires never changed. They said the “magic words” to “get saved,” but their actions did not follow suit. They are those who deliberately wander from the right way in order to feed the sinful desires of their flesh, some of whom then give lip service to God to give an impression of all goodness, while they lie and cheat, and do their evil.

But Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Acts 26:18]

So, please know and live the truth. For your eternity depends on it.

Listen to me ev’ryone and
Understand this teaching of Christ:
Why do you break the commands
Of God for the sake of tradition?
When you follow the ways of man,
And don’t obey the words of Christ,
You nullify the words of God,
And you hold to the ways of man.

What comes out of a man’s mouth is
What makes him unclean and dirty.
The things that come out of the mouth
Come from the heart, from within him.
The heart of man is so sinful;
From his nature, out comes evil:
Lying, cursing, greed and malice,
Lust and lewdness, deceit, slander.

Jesus calls us to obey him;
Turn from our sins; follow His ways.
Yet, his people honor him with their lips,
but their hearts not with Him.
Their worship of God is in vain.
Their teachings are rules taught by man.
Jesus calls us; gently leads us
To return and follow His truth.

A recent study by Healthy Florida First has discovered that some fan-favorite candies have unsafe arsenic levels. The study tested 48 popular candies and found that 28 of them contained what authors described as toxic levels of arsenic.


As it turns out, arsenic isn’t necessarily uncommon in food. According to the FDA, the heavy metal may be found in food because of where it was grown, raised, or processed. That said, long-term exposure to arsenic can cause some pretty serious health issues, such as certain types of cancer, skin disorders, heart disease, and neurological effects on fetuses in pregnant people, per the CDC.


The amount of arsenic consumed matters most, and the study from Healthy Florida First sought to determine the safest annual consumption levels. The safe servings designated were broken down by age, either child or adult. Consumption limits were based on grams.

In the study, several notable sweet faves were impacted by unsafe levels of arsenic including Kit Kat, Snickers, Original Skittles, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids, Tootsie Roll, and more. Ugh.


The National Confectioners Association (NCA), however, disputed the study's findings and called Florida's conclusions "misguided."

A parish in Germany is facing opposition over plans for a Harry Potter-themed ecumenical service inside a consecrated church, with critics warning of desecration and occult imagery.

A Catholic parish in western Germany is facing criticism after advertising what it calls a “Harry Potter ecumenical service” to be held inside a church later this month, drawing criticism from Catholics who say the event trivializes sacred space and introduces occult imagery into worship.

The service is scheduled for Feb. 28 at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Herne, within the Archdiocese of Paderborn. Promotional materials invite “fans and Hogwarts newcomers” to gather for an evening “among candles, light and darkness,” using imagery drawn from the popular fantasy book series.

Attendees are encouraged to wear themed costumes, though “Muggle clothing is also permitted,” and the church is described as the “Great Hall” for the event.

The plans have prompted a public campaign by Christkönigtum, a conservative Catholic organization, which argues that incorporating “magical and occult motifs” into a church constitutes a desecration of a space reserved for divine worship.

Baroness Rosa Monckton says a proposed UK amendment would remove criminal penalties for women who end their own pregnancies at any stage, raising concerns about late-term, unsupervised abortions at home.

LONDON — A UK Catholic peer has warned that proposed legislation, currently passing through the British Parliament to decriminalize abortion up to birth, is a “terrifying proposition” and a “barbaric step” that would effectively encourage mothers to use abortion pills at home, even in later stages of pregnancy.

In an opinion piece in the Daily Mailpublished Wednesday, Baroness Rosa Monckton said Clause 191, an amendment to a Crime and Policing Bill, would remove “all remaining legal invigilation of women regarding abortion, allowing a mother-to-be to abort her baby, up to full term, for any reason at all, including its sex.”

The amendment, first tabled by Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi, was pushed through the House of Commons last June after just 46 minutes of backbench debate. f it is ultimately agreed by both Houses of Parliament and enacted, it would no longer be a criminal offense for a woman to end her own pregnancy at any stage, including late in gestation, while leaving criminal penalties in place for others who perform unlawful abortions.

Baroness Monckton and Baroness Philippa Stroud are leading a coordinated bid in the House of Lords to remove the clause from the bill and restore mandatory in‑person medical consultations before at‑home abortions.

How many souls have been impressed, amused, uplifted and comforted by priests exercising this common practice?

Cardinals, calls, cards, chairs — and courtesy. All come to mind as Cardinal Timothy Dolan takes leave of his cathedral in New York. Amid the grand ceremony, the virtue of courtesy should not be overlooked.

Today is Cardinal Dolan’s last day as “apostolic administrator” of the Archdiocese of New York, a title he has held since he retired as archbishop in December. Tomorrow, Archbishop Ronald Hicks will be installed the new archbishop.

After nearly 17 years of Sunday Masses at St. Patrick’s Cathedral — “America’s parish church,” as he calls it — Cardinal Dolan offered his final one this past Sunday. A “cathedral” gets its name from being the home of the bishop’s “cathedra” or liturgical chair. Cardinal Dolan usually sits on the cathedra. On Sunday, he spoke to it.

“I want to bid farewell to this great piece of furniture,” he said after the final prayer. “My dear cathedra, I am going to miss you! And listen, please be as comfortable for Archbishop Hicks, who’s going to plop down into you this coming Friday, as you have been to me.”


“I’ll miss you,” he said, giving the top of it an affectionate pat.

I have written about Cardinal Dolan in these pages when he was appointed to New York and upon his retirement, principally celebrating his excellence as a preacher of the Gospel and teacher of the faith.

Adm. Brian Christine, a practicing Catholic, talked about the state of the pro-life movement and how his faith guides him.

Adm. Brian Christine, assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and a practicing Catholic, talked about the state of the pro-life movement as well as his own faith in an interview on “EWTN Pro-Life Weekly” on Wednesday.

Christine, a practicing Catholic, said the HHS values religious freedom.

“We are not going to allow health care practitioners to be disparaged or be discriminated against because of their faith,” he told host Abigail Galvan. “We faithful don’t have to check our faith at the door to practice medicine or science.”

For his part, Christine said his faith and the example of the saints guides him.
