Do we risk over-doing it and hurting global agriculture or even freezing the earth as in “Snowpiercer”? Not at all. Dr David Keith models it and says we could probably cancel HALF our warming - but no more as the side effects start to get dangerous. (Only watch this older piece if you need to hear him say it - the Vox article above is more recent.) Login to view embedded media
Not only that, but we have evidence from nature. The USGS says the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption cooled the world 0.5 degrees for 2 years. We survived at least half a degree of cooling and dust in the stratosphere without catastrophic crop loss.

Also, it takes time to build the special super-wide wing jets to fly the dust up 20 km. Smith et al 2018 said that back then it would cost about $2.25 billion annually to build 6 super-wide wing jets a year. That’s only 0.02 degrees of cooling every 6 jets. If we adjust for inflation that’s probably $4 billion a year for an extra 6 planes. It takes 15 years just to get to 0.3 degrees of cooling - and that’s not even at Pinatubo levels yet! Given all that time and effort the moment there was even a hint of bad side effects the nations concerned would protest and we would be able to sort it out. It’s not like we can do this overnight!

Here is a video explaining a new way of looking at scripture. The guy that came up with it was a hip hop artist before.he became a Christian. He calls it photo theology. It grew out of his spontaneous way of looking at things, taking mental pictures and then having to come up with original ways of expressing himself.

He looks at scripture in 5 different ways. 1.The written scripture. 2. How Jesus fits into it. 3. How it affects us as people. 4.How it affects the church. 5. Heavenly

I have learned more about Bible study listening to a couple of His sermons than I have learned in the last 30 years.

Hello folks. This is an analysis on Philippians 4:10-14, and how we can apply this passage to our everyday lives.

Date	May 5, 2024
Verse	Philippians 4:10-14 (ESV): "I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble."
Explanation	Philippians 4:10-14 is a passage from the New Testament book of Philippians, penned by the apostle Paul. In this passage, Paul expresses his joy and gratitude towards the church in Philippi for their concern and support, despite not having an opportunity to express it previously. He goes on to share that he has learned to be content in any situation, whether in abundance or need. He emphasizes his ability to face hardships and to "do all things through him who strengthens me," which is a reference to his faith in Christ. This passage relates to easing the burdens of one another as it highlights the importance of compassion, concern, and support for one another, particularly in times of strife or hardship. Paul's words remind us that even when we may not be able to physically alleviate someone's burdens, we can still offer emotional and spiritual support. This can go a long way in helping to ease the emotional weight that someone may be carrying.
Societal Relevance	As Christians in the modern world, we can live up to this verse by practicing empathy, compassion, and kindness towards one another. Some practical ways to do this include: Listening and offering emotional support: Sometimes, all someone needs is someone to listen and offer words of encouragement. Practical assistance: When possible, offering practical assistance, such as food, shelter, or financial help, can make a significant difference in someone's life. Sharing resources: Sharing resources, such as time, talent, or treasure, can help to lighten the load for those in need. Encouraging and uplifting: Offering words of encouragement and uplifting those around us can help to strengthen their spirits and give them the courage to face their challenges. The most common needs in the modern world vary depending on the location and individual circumstances. However, some needs that are common across many communities include: Food and shelter: Basic necessities such as food and shelter are essential for everyone. Some cities, such as Vienna, AT have communal housing, where a co-op owns the apartment, and shares resources and amenities. For food, there are food banks in the USA and abroad that one could donate money to. Financial assistance: Many people struggle with debt, unemployment, or underemployment, making it difficult to make ends meet. Some people may pool money to afford basic needs, or go to an organization that can help one reduce debt. Emotional support: Mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, are increasingly common, and many people benefit from emotional support and encouragement. Volunteer psychologists can help fill this role, allowing people to talk to someone for free. Education: Access to quality, free or cheap education is essential for individuals to reach their full potential and to break the cycle of poverty. For example, LibreTexts is a 501(c)3 education nonprofit that releases textbooks for free under the Creative Commons License. Healthcare: Access to affordable and quality healthcare is crucial for maintaining physical and emotional well-being. Some countries offer affordable healthcare, or place caps on how much a certain drug or treatment may cost. To assist a person in need, there are plenty of nonprofits which one could donate to to help cover the cost of medical expenses. Technology: In today's world, access to technology, and digital resources is essential for many aspects of life, including education, employment, and communication. For instance, cheap or free internet access could mean better opportunities for people to learn something new or keep a job.

“I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble.” (Philippians 4:10-14 ESV)

Paul, it appears, was speaking here of a financial (material) need of his that the Philippian church helped supply for him. And he was grateful. But rather than go into what Paul’s situation was, I believe I am to talk here about our needs, i.e. the needs of all of us in today’s world who believe in Jesus Christ with God-provided and God-persuaded faith in Jesus Christ, and especially of those who are serving the Lord in ministry full-time, as was Paul.

So, what kinds of needs do we all have? Some of them might be financial, or material in nature, such as the need of food and clothing and shelter, etc., which are the basic essentials of life, from a natural perspective. Others are of the heart, such as the need for comfort, encouragement, love, affection, and someone showing us care and concern, checking in on us to see what we need or if we have any prayer needs, and just to be a friend to us.

And then we have spiritual needs, which are also of the heart, which includes the need to be in fellowship with Jesus Christ in a daily walk of faith and obedience to our Lord in holy living, and to have true Christian fellowship with other like-minded followers of Jesus Christ. For not everything today called “Christian fellowship” has anything to do with Christ or with his teachings or with following him in obedience to his will for our lives.

Do we need socialization with other people? Yes! But if all that is being served to us, in the name of Christianity, is just socializing and nothing to do with our Savior and true biblical fellowship with Christ and with one another, then we NEED to have that kind of fellowship. We need to be sharing with one another what we are learning from the Lord, and we need to be encouraging one another in our walks of faith and obedience to God.

We need to not be ignored, abandoned, rejected, cast aside, and forgotten as though we are worthless just because we don’t fit in with today’s culture and values and philosophies, and just because we take God and his word seriously, and so we are sharing with others the truth of God’s word. And if I remember correctly, I believe that Paul was in one of those situations when he wrote this letter, because he dared to tell people the truth of the gospel.

I think sometimes that we can get so caught up in our own lives that we don’t pay attention to the needs of others which are all around us. And if we take the time to reach out to others in their needs, it, too, should help us to forget about what is going on in our own lives, to a point, to where we are not so much inward focused but to where we are now outward focused toward meeting the needs of others who God puts in our pathway.

For obviously not one of us can meet the needs of every other person on this planet, and so we must trust the Lord to guide us in this, and to show us the needs, and to show us what he wants us to do to help meet those needs, whatever they might be. But we must not sacrifice the spiritual in order to just meet the physical needs, and we must not sacrifice people’s true physical needs, if we are able to help, while focusing totally on the spiritual.

For we are not just physical people and we are not just spiritual people, but we are physical and spiritual and mental and emotional, and so we have lots of different needs, which are legitimate human needs and not just wants. But even if all our needs are not met the way we would hope, and even if we have more enemies than friends, and more opposition, than support, if we are followers of Christ, we can make it with just Jesus on our side.

So, the point here is that we all need to not be selfish and self-centered and thinking only of what we want, but we need to be godly people who care about other people’s needs, and who are sensitive to the needs around us, and who pray and who ask the Lord for wisdom and direction in knowing how best to help meet those needs, which sometimes may not be more than just to pray for them, if that is all that we can do. Be someone who cares.

Oh, to Be Like Thee, Blessed Redeemer

Lyrics by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1897
Music by W. J. Kirkpatrick, 1897

Oh, to be like Thee! blessèd Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

Oh, to be like Thee! full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wandering sinner to find.

O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save.

O to be like Thee! while I am pleading,
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and Heaven above.

Oh, to be like Thee! Oh, to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

Hello folks. Sometimes the truth hurts. Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 4:29, and three different passages from Proverbs tell us that receiving truth may sting, or even hurt for a while, but will better ourselves in the Christian journey.

This is a companion analysis, about lies: Ephesians 4:25 & Isaiah 8:11-15 - Avoiding Lies and Conspiracies

Date	May 5, 2024
Verse	Hebrews 4:12 (ESV): "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. " Ephesians 4:29 (ESV): "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." Proverbs 20:30 (ESV): "Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clean the innermost parts." Proverbs 27:5-6 (ESV): "Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy." Proverbs 28:23 (ESV): "Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue."
Explanation	These five passages from the Bible speak to the power and importance of both the spoken word of God and the truth found within it. The passages in Hebrews 4:12 and Proverbs 20:30 emphasize that the word of God is living and active, able to penetrate deep into our souls and reveal our thoughts and intentions. This penetrating truth can sometimes sting or hurt as it exposes areas of our lives that need healing or growth. Ephesians 4:29 and Proverbs 27:5-6 highlight the importance of speaking the truth in love and the benefits it brings to those who hear it. The passages suggest that the words we speak should be uplifting, building up those around us, and bringing healing and grace. However, this does not mean that the truth will always be easy to hear or that it will never cause discomfort. The medical analogy can help illustrate this concept. When a wound occurs, an antiseptic solution may be applied to clean the area and prevent infection. This process can be painful, but it is necessary for the wound to heal properly. Similarly, when we receive the truth from scripture or from a well-intentioned friend, it may sting or hurt initially, but it is necessary for spiritual growth and healing. Growing pains in our bones serve as another analogy. As we grow, our bones undergo stress and discomfort as they adapt to new sizes and shapes. This process can be painful, but it is necessary for our physical development. In the same way, the truth can cause spiritual growing pains as we are challenged to expand our understanding of our faith journey.
Societal Relevance	To receive the truth without being offended as listeners, it is essential to approach it with an open mind and a humble heart. We can practice active listening, seeking to understand the intent behind the words rather than focusing on any perceived offense. Additionally, we can remember that the truth is given to us out of love and with the intention of bringing healing and growth. Strategies to cope with the truth as Christians may include: Prayerfully seeking understanding: When we receive the truth, we can pray for wisdom and understanding, asking God to help us see the situation from His perspective. Practicing forgiveness: If we have been offended, we can choose to practice forgiveness, focusing on the intention behind the words rather than the hurt they may have caused. Seeking out wise counsel: We can seek out trusted friends or spiritual mentors for guidance and support as we navigate the truths we encounter. Practicing self-reflection: We can reflect on the areas of our lives where the truth may be challenging us and use it as an opportunity for growth and healing. Remembering the bigger picture: We can keep in mind the ultimate goal of our faith journey – to grow closer to God and become the best version of ourselves – and use this perspective to help us embrace the truths that may initially be difficult to receive. For myself, it was, and still is sometimes difficult for me to receive constructive feedback, or the truth in general, as it sometimes hurt. In October 2023, I asked a Christian friend about what the cause of autism is, in a Biblical sense, and what I can do about it. He explained to me that autism is a byproduct of the fallen world caused by Satan, when the serpent tempted man to turn from God, as suffering was described in the Bible. This rebellion lead to diseases in humanity. This part of the truth stung, and it did for a few weeks, but I then reflected on the second part of his explanation where he told me that Jesus can help anyone overcome disability, whether that through improvements in this life, or in Heaven. For those who can not overcome their disabilities, he referenced the Parable of The Widow’s Two Mites, where a woman who had a net worth of only a few mites, but her actions for giving a two coins was revered by Jesus over the rich man who gave out a portion of his wealth. This parable means that some people may not be blessed with money, no disabilities, or easy to make friendships, but God looks at our intentions. If a person with a disability gave it his all, God understands. My Christian friend told the truth which hurt, but in the following weeks and months, it has helped me to realize that my disability is no less in God’s eyes, even though it was caused by the fall of man, which neither is my own fault or my ancestor's fault, except Adam & Eve’s, and that Jesus will guide us on Earth, and equalize us all in the life to come.

I never heard of this guy but I like this sermon. Daniel Olukoya who has a church in Nigeria. This is a portion of it

"Would you be a trophy in hell fire or would you be a trophy of the Almighty God? Hell is place of unquenchable fire, a place of memory, a place of regret, a place of separation, a place of undiluted divine anger, and a place that was originally prepared for satan and his own hosts. You have no business going there and really you should not plan to go there. But all sinners without exception are planning to go there. As far as Bible is concerned, every sinner will end up in hell fire. It would be a very sad testimony if a Christian lands in hell fire with the witches he was binding and casting out. It is terrible because every single moment throughout eternity, every inch of the person’s body will be in pain. It would be like pouring boiling oil on the skin of somebody continuously. The person will not be able to bear the pain. His throat will become dry with screaming and as he opens his mouth, worms of fire would be going in and out. He would be crying for water, but there would be none, and without any warning, the person would see that he keeps dropping, coughing, and gasping and the tongue would become like red hot iron and the roof of the mouth will be patched with heat. It is then that everything the person heard in church will torment him the more.

Beloved, examine your life. If there is any sin there, no matter how little, it will take you the place of torment. You must not go there. You are not supposed to be there.

HOW DO WE PREVENT OURSELVES FROM GOING TO HELL FIRE?

1. Romans 12.1 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Your first prevention against hell fire is to become a living sacrifice. Although you are alive, you are dead in Jesus. You die daily like Paul. Once you are dead to the flesh, you don’t know whether people are gossiping about you. You cannot be bothered whether you are being insulted or not.

2. Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” The second prevention is: Do not like the world and its evil system. James 4:4 also says, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” Friendship with the world, the Bible says, is enmity with God. If any man loves the world, he has only one sickness, the love of the Father is not in him. If you love the world, when the world perishes, you will go with it.

3. The third prevention is humility. Be humble. Romans 12:3 says, “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”

4. Romans 12:4-8 says, “For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office. So, we, being many, are one body in Christ and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith. Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering; or he that teacheth, on teaching; or he that exhorteth, on exhortation; he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence, he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.” Prevention number four is play your part in the house of God. Don’t be a bench warmer in the church. Make sure there is something you are doing for God.

The Ultimate Evil Desire

The Ultimate Desire of the satan is to display Christians as Trophies in Hell Fire. Any Believer who goes to hell fire is tresspassing.

www.sermoncentral.com

I found his church website, and like what they say here:
"The objectives of this ministry are:

To propagate the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ all over the world
To promote the revival of Apostolic signs, wonders and miracles
To bring together children of God who are lost in dead churches
To train believers in the art and science of spiritual warfare; thus making them an aggressive and victorious army for the Lord
To train believers to receive Holy Ghost baptism and fire as well as a daily walk and relationship with the Holy Spirit
To turn the joy of our enemies to sorrow. That is why we would always have a Deliverance ministry wherever we are. If you do not believe in deliverance, you are not supposed to be in MFM
To build an aggressive end-time army for the Lord. MFM is an end-time church where we build an aggressive end-time army for the Lord. An end-time church is a church where a sinner enters with two options: he either repents or does not come back, contrary to the present day church where sinners are comfortable and find things so easy and convenient
To deliver those who have become slaves to pastors, prophets and apostles
To build up heavenly-bound and aggressive Christians. The priority in MFM is for people to make heaven. It is not a worldly Church
To build up prayer eagles
To purify the Pentecostal dirtiness of this age"

Hello folks. Ephesians and Isaiah are relevant in 2024, especially with the modern world.

Date	May 5, 2024
Verse	Ephesians 4:25 (ESV): "Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another." Isaiah 8:11-15 (ESV): "For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: ‘Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. But the Lord of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many shall stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.’"
Explanation	The passage from Ephesians 4:25 is encouraging Christians to speak the truth with one another. The context of this verse is a larger section of the letter to the Ephesians that emphasizes unity and love among believers. The verse specifically calls for putting away falsehood and speaking truthfully with neighbors, as members of one another in the body of Christ. This passage is directly related to people telling lies or spreading conspiracy theories because falsehood and conspiracy theories are contrary to truth. The passage from Isaiah 8:11-15 does warn against fearing what the people are frightened by and being in constant fear. Instead, it encourages trust in the Lord and honoring Him as holy. The passage speaks of the Lord becoming a "stone of offense and a rock of stumbling" to the people of Israel, which could be interpreted as a warning against being led astray by false beliefs or conspiracy theories.
Societal Relevance	In the digital age, it is essential for Christians to be discerning and truthful in their use of social media and other forms of communication. Spreading lies or conspiracy theories such as saying that the January 6 attack was peaceful can harm individuals and the body of Christ as a whole. To avoid spreading lies or conspiracy theories, Christians should fact-check information before sharing it, consult reliable sources, and be open to correction when they are wrong. For instance, the Apollo 11 moon landing has been verified with satellites orbiting the moon, such as the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter launched in 2009, showing the items left on the moon back forty years earlier back in July 1969. They should also be cautious about sources that consistently spread false information (extremist news sites from the far fringes of the political spectrum) and seek to discern the motives behind such information. COVID-19 has been proven by multiple countries and independent agencies to be real, masks slow down the spread between individuals, and vaccines reduce the probability of severe illness by ~60-80%. January 6, 2021 has been well documented with thousands of hours of video footage, unedited speech made earlier that day. A Washington DC officer named Jeffrey L. Smith shot himself nine days later due to PTSD from defending the Capitol. Ultimately, Christians are called to be truthful, loving, and unified in their speech and actions, both online and offline.

Strange that today walking to town I spotted upon a rear window of a vehicle these words "Life is Better In the Woods"

Then tonight at service we watched "War Room" about fighting through prayer.
Find out what your enemy is doing and make a plan.
Take back that mountain, that 'suicide hill" for Jesus. Count the cost. I did. I saw an open door. I made a plan. God changed my plan.

Prayer strategy. Seek, Trust, and stand on His Word: Plead with God for what He can do, then get out of the way and let Him work and do it.

Fearful. I been fearful. "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Rev 21:8
Fearful of Going back? Well God's ways are not my ways. Am I looking for an easy way? Everything right here where I am now at my fingertips with everything set up?
What was I afraid of? The old community? Afraid of demons, magic, spells, Lucifer?
"It's time for you to FIGHT!" the old lady prayer warrior on the movie said immediately as I wrote that!
Take back my house, it's Yeshua's house, it don't belong to Satan, and for far too long Satan has ruled that hill, and he's stolen, and killed and destroyed.

I'm not kidding when I say that. The neighborhood has had between 15 - 20 people population at any given time between 2004 and 2019. There have been 8 deaths: 3 murders, 3 suicides, 2 natural.

The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, therefore Satan cannot have that hill, and death must release its grip. Take back my house, for it does not belong to the devil no more: cleanse out all the blasphemy, cursing, sex, the alcohol, drugs, any spirits of insanity from the 5 insane girls who lived there, for every single one of those 5 had serious mental problems: bipolar, schizophrenic, severe anxiety, histrionic personality disorder, schizoaffective, delusional, Multiple personality disorder. Besides that, all those relationships were either fornication or adultery, and the one I was married to started off as adultery while she was still married.

Even though I've long since repented of this wicked evil, I know spirits can attach to things, and I know I'd have a lot of housecleaning to do, including photographs, books, occult items....as I wrote here,
I ask the authority of Jesus Christ and the power of His blood shed to cleanse the mess I made by accepting all this as Solomon with his strange wives, for adultery, and sin, and any evil spirits this brought about. Break down the pagan stones and destroy any occult books and objects, I shall do this upon return and burn them in Jesus name as they burned the 50,000 pieces of silver worth of curious arts paraphernalia in Acts!

Exodus 14:14 "The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."
Hannah gave me that verse in 2020.

Sunday, May 5th
Pastor was preaching this morning and quoted Romans 8:26, "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."

He helpeth our infirmities, not helps us smooth the path and get rid of the infirmities. Don't be afraid of that mountain, don't be afraid of that HILL, don't be afraid of that valley. That's what he said. That HILL.
What was once used primarily for darkness should now be used for light, to bring light to that little community.
All that on the left of the road and below that open area is mine. And people who go there say they feel negative energy, heaviness, and dark. This needs to be done with. I cannot be fearful. It don't matter what was done there by me or anyone else. JESUS is stronger than all that and He resurrects the dead, and destroyed the devil who has power over death, and He sets free from bondage!
And I want a little chapel in the lower part across from where that curve in the road is, that's where I began a stone structure years ago....

Oh, those Frenchies enjoy baking baguettes. In France, a nearly 141 meter (461 ft) long baguette was baked, entering the Guinness World Record. The bread was cut up, and divided out to the city and folks living on the streets of Suresnes.

France reclaims world record after baking baguette measuring 140.53m

Parisian bakers have claimed victory over rivals in Italy who created a baguette almost 133 metres long in 2019

www.theguardian.com

Short summary of the open-access article by The Guardian (<20% in length, for fair usage reasons):

In an article published on May 5, 2024, in The Guardian, Ashifa Kassam reports that a group of bakers from Suresnes, France, successfully broke the world record for the longest baguette, which for the past five years had been held by bakers in Como, Italy. The French bakers began their attempt at 3am and, after 14 hours of kneading, shaping, and baking, their baguette measured 140.53 meters, surpassing the Italian record of 132.62 meters. The sentiment among the French public and the bakers themselves was that the record should rightfully belong to France. The grueling process involved kneading, shaping, and baking the dough on site in front of the public, with the finished baguette expected to be at least 5cm thick and take about eight hours to bake. Once complete, the baguette was measured and shared among the public, as well as distributed to those living on the streets of Suresnes.

Kuban, a settlement in Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine, is 60 miles from the front line of Russia’s 27-month wider war on Ukraine. Normally well beyond the range of most of Ukraine’s anti-personnel weapons, it had been fairly safe for its Russian occupiers.

This helps to explain why, on or just before Wednesday, potentially hundreds of Russian troops gathered out in the open in a field near Kuban—apparently for training.

The problem, for the Russians, is the Army Tactical Missile System: an American-made precision-guided ballistic missile that, depending on the model, ranges as far as 190 miles and scatters at least hundreds—at most, nearly a thousand—grenade-size submunitions.

As the Russians milled about in broad daylight on that field outside Kuban, and a Ukrainian drone observed from high overhead, four of the two-ton ATACMS streaked down. One failed to explode. The other three popped open and scattered their lethal submunitions. Each rocket turned an area as wide as 2.5 acres into a nearly inescapable kill zone.

One of the ATACMS burst directly overhead a crowd of approximately 116 unprotected Russians. All of the Russians may have died in the rain of submunitions, according to the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, D.C.

The Wednesday strike may have been one of the bloodiest of the wider war. And it’s indicative of poor planning on the part of Russian commanders. They must have known such a strike had recently become possible—or even likely. Acquiring ATACMS from the United States, and then aiming them at the Russian army’s vulnerable rear area, has been one of Ukraine’s top military priorities in recent months.

The United States has belatedly obliged repeated Ukrainian requests for the powerful rockets.

Hundreds of Russian Troops Gathered. Then Four ATACMS Rockets Struck.

The arrival of scores of U.S.-made ATACMS rockets in Ukraine means no Russians are safe within 190 miles of the front line.

To Each One His Work From "Working For God" chapter 4, by Andrew Murray, 1901 (This is a great book and I haven't yet read all of it, but have been touched by the chapters I have read, as I have with Murrays other writings)

‘As a man sojourning in another country, having given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded the porter also to watch.’—Mark 13:34

What I have said in a previous chapter of the failure of the Church to do her Master’s work, or even clearly to insist upon the duty of its being done by every member has often led me to ask the question, What must be done to arouse the Church to a right sense of her calling? This little book is an attempt to give the answer. Working for God must take a very different and much more definite place in our teaching and training of Christ’s disciples than it has done.

In studying the question I have been very much helped by the life and writings of a great educationist. The opening sentence of the preface to his biography tells us: ‘Edward Thring was unquestionably the most original and striking figure in the schoolmaster world of his time in England.’ He himself attributes his own power and success to the prominence he gave to a few simple principles, and the faithfulness with which he carried them out at any sacrifice. I have found them as suggestive in regard to the work of preaching as of teaching, and to state them will help to make plain some of the chief lessons this book is meant to teach.

The root-principle that distinguished his teaching from what was current at the time was this: Every boy in school, the dullest, must have the same attention as the cleverest. At Eton, where he had been educated, and had come out First, he had seen the evil of the opposite system. The school kept up its name by training a number of men for the highest prizes, while the majority were neglected. He maintained that this was dishonest: there could be no truth in a school which did not care for all alike. Every boy had some gift; every boy needed special attention; every boy could, with care and patience, be fitted to know and fulfil his mission in life.

Apply this to the Church. Every believer, the feeblest as much as the strongest, has the calling to live and work for the kingdom of his Lord. Every believer has equally a claim on the grace and power of the Holy Spirit, according to his gifts, to fit him for his work. And every believer has a right to be taught and helped by the Church for the service our Lord expects of him. It is when this truth, every believer the feeblest, to be trained as a worker for God, gets its true place, that there can be any thought of the Church fulfilling its mission. Not one can be missed, because the Master gave to every one his work.

Another of Thring’s principles was this: It is a law of nature that work is pleasure. See to make it voluntary and not compulsory. Do not lead the boys blindfold. Show them why they have to work, what its value will be, what interest can be awakened in it, what pleasure may be found in it. A little time stolen, as he says, for that purpose, from the ordinary teaching, will be more than compensated for by the spirit which will be thrown into the work.

What a field is opened out here for the preacher of the gospel in the charge he has of Christ’s disciples. To unfold before them the greatness, the glory, the Divine. blessedness of the work to be done. To show its value in the carrying out of God’s will, and gaining His approval; in our becoming the benefactors and saviours of the perishing; in developing that spiritual vigour, that nobility of character, that spirit of self-sacrifice which leads to the true bearing of Christ’s image.

A third truth Thring insisted on specially was the need of inspiring the belief in the possibility, yea, the assurance of success in gaining the object of pursuit. That object is not much knowledge; not every boy can attain to this. The drawing out and cultivation of the power there is in himself—this is for every boy—and this alone is true education. As a learner’s powers of observation grow under true guidance and teaching and he finds within himself a source of power and pleasure he never knew before, he feels a new self beginning to live, and the world around him gets a new meaning. ‘He becomes conscious of an infinity of unsuspected glory in the midst of which we go about our daily tasks, becomes lord of an endless kingdom full of light and pleasure and power.’

If this be the law and blessing of a true education, what light is shed on the calling of all teachers and leaders in Christ’s Church! The know ye nots of Scripture—that ye are the temple of God—that Christ is in you—that the Holy Spirit dwelleth in you—acquire a new meaning. It tells us that the one thing that needs to be wakened in the hearts of Christians is the faith ‘in the power that worketh in us.’ As one comes to see the worth and the glory of the work to be done, as one believes in the possibility of his, too, being able to do that work well; as one learns to trust a Divine energy, the very power and spirit of God working in him; ‘he will, in the fullest sense become conscious of a new life, with an infinity of unsuspected glory in the midst of which we go about our daily task, and become lord of an endless kingdom full of light and pleasure and power.’ This is the royal life to which God has called all His people. The true Christian is one who knows God’s power working in himself, and finds it his true joy to have the very life of God flow into him, and through him, and out from him to those around.

1. We must learn to believe in the power of littles—of the value of every individual believer. As men are saved one by one, they must be trained one by one for work.

2. We must believe that work for Christ can become as natural, as much an attraction and a pleasure in the spiritual as in the natural world.

3. We must believe and teach that every believer can become an effective worker in his sphere. Are you seeking to be filled with love to souls?

John 5:

31a “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.

The above apparently contradicts John 8:

14a Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid.

Let's see the context, NIV John 5:

31“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.

33“You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.

37And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.

39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,

In John 5, Jesus listed 2 human witnesses and 2 supernatural witnesses.

In John 8, Jesus focused on the supernatural witness:

14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid,

At this point, there was an apparent contradiction with John 5:31. But Jesus explained further:

17 In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true. 18I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”

How do we reconcile John 8:14 & 5:31?

Without the contexts, the two verses contradict. With contexts, we can see that John 8:17 mentions a 2nd witness. So, the rule for 2 or more witnesses is affirmed by both passages.

Reader..

What if you are born again, and yet you die before you are water baptized...........

What if you are the dying Thief on the Cross who was saved, went with Jesus, but was never water baptized...........

What if you are on "death row", and they are walking you to the Electric Chair at 5am...., and i stop you on your way there, and ask you if you are ready to receive Christ as you Savior, and you tell me that you do now trust in Christ with all your heart.... and want to publicly confess this before they put you to death...........and you do, and then they kill you.

What if you are 88 yrs old, and you are in the Hospital, in the Oncology (Cancer) ward, and you are dying... and will be dead in the next 4 mins.
You are all by yourself, in the dark at 3am...., and you "believe on Jesus with all your heart... and accept Him into your heart by faith".

What if you are in a Communist Country that does not allow Bibles or Christians, and you are in a jail there, and you "trust in Christ with all your heart" while you are in THEIR Jail......

Now, none of those BELIEVERS can be "sprinkled" "immersed", "dunked" or otherwise water baptized.

Are they Saved, ?

Of course they are, and no water baptism was found for them.

So, Reader, if you are under the mind control of a Water Cult, that has you believing that WATER is required for SALVATiON< then i just showed you REAL LIFE CASES where this water cult theology, is proven to be a LIE.

Final answer?

Do not believe a lie., and do not teach a Lie.

John 9:

2 his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man [M1] or his parents, that he was born blind?”

What were Jesus' disciples thinking? How was it possible that M1 could have sinned before being born?

Apparently, some Jews believed that was possible. Rebekah was pregnant with twins in Genesis 25:

22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”

Some rabbis in Jesus' time interpreted that unborn babies were capable of sinning.

They thought Psalm 51 confirmed this belief, NIV:

5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

NIV Psalm 58:

3 Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.

After Jesus healed M1. The Pharisees questioned M1. In the end, John 9:

34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.

The Pharisees believed that M1 sinned before birth, and that's why he was born blind; Jesus' disciples might have believed that as well.

You can never speak too much on the armor of God, because we need it daily, and are admonished to take up our armor daily:

Ephesians 6:10-18
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints..."

Verses 11, 12 & 13 I like in the old Wycliffe translation: "Clothe you with the armour of God, that ye be able to stand against the ambushings [the ambushings, or assailings,] of the devil. For striving, or battle, is not to us against flesh and blood], but against [the] princes and potentates, against governors of the world of these darknesses, against spiritual things of wickedness, in heavenly things.
Therefore take ye the armour of God, that ye be able to against-stand in the evil day; and in all things stand perfect."

It says the same thing, but different. "Put on" becomes "Clothe you", which almost makes it more personal: a complete covering - you are not just putting it on, but taking care to Clothe yourself property. "Wrestle" becomes "striving, or battle" and all hold true. The Greek word used there is "pale" which means "wrestle: a contest between two in which each endeavours to throw the other, and which is decided when the victor is able to hold his opponent down with his hand upon his neck", so it is a striving and a battle. I also like the way Wycliffe refers to the standing as, "stand perfect" - having done all, to stand. It implies a "no matter what, stand" resolve.

Now the most important thing about this armor is KNOWING it, and not just reading about it, or saying a prayer like, for instance, "Lord, I take the helmet of salvation." That's fine, but do you KNOW what that means? First know that you are saved and have the assurance of your salvation. The helmet protects the mind: the head. Salvation is the most important thing to begin with because without it, this armor is useless to you, and is just so many words. Jesus, His actual name in Hebrew, Yeshua, means Yahweh is Salvation. The helmet of salvation then is Christ, who is the head of the body, so naturally the helmet of salvation protects the head and the mind.

I'm not going in order here as it is in Ephesians, but covering each piece as I put down in my notes as it came to me.

The belt of Truth protects the gut and the privates: places you don't want to take any hits. But it also holds up the other garments. To put it bluntly, have that belt of Truth tight so you don't get caught with your pants down. Adam and Eve were naked and they were ashamed and afraid. They were hiding from God, or rather, trying to hide from God, which right there showed they already were reaping the fruit of corruption, since they should have known it was impossible to hide from God! The truth: Jesus said, I am the truth, the way, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me. "(John 14:6) But besides the obvious, that Jesus is the truth, we must speak the truth and not lie. We must live in honesty and integrity. That's all part of the belt of Truth. Live in a lie and that belt loosens and you're caught with your pants down.

The shield of faith stops the wicked darts BEFORE they reach you: before they reach your body. Your faith in Christ must be solid and steadfast. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" That's Hebrews 11:1 & 6, and we must pray that God give us the great gift of faith, and believe. Mark 11:22-25 explains further,
Have faith in God.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

When you are quenching the fiery darts of the wicked by faith, you are stopping them before they can stick in the other pieces of armor you wear on your body. The shield of faith is a primary defence, for you must have faith to be saved, so without faith you are not going to have any of the other pieces of armor. they all tie in together.

Your feet shod, with the shoes, or boots of the preparation of the gospel of peace: these equip you for mobility, and taking the Word to others, but also enable you to stand for long periods of time in this warfare, and having done all, to stand, or as the Wycliffe says, stand perfectly. " How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!" (Isaiah 52:7)

And look at this miracle when Israel was in the wilderness: "And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot." (Deuteronomy 29:5) Now that was physical, but it also holds a great symbolism and type for us, because the Gospel of peace will never wax old. 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" Matthew 5:16, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

The breastplate of righteousness protects the heart and the lungs: the vitals. Your heart is your seat of emotion, and it's from the heart all kind of wicked can come, so your heart must be guarded and shielded. Your breath of life is in the lungs, and they in turn feed the blood supply with oxygen, without which you cannot live. So it is with the Spirit, you must have the Spirit within you, that breath of life, and you must have the blood also, as in the blood of Christ applied to atone for your sins, for the life is in the blood. (Leviticus 17:11)

But also you must walk in His righteousness, for this is how we guard our hearts. Philippians 3:9, "And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith" If you are found IN HIM, that is, in Christ, you will have imparted unto you the righteousness of God by faith, so you really have that shield of faith up, and this breastplate on: that is two things keeping your heart safe.
Look also at John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." See everything tied in? Peace, which is the boots, tied in with the heart, which is covered by the breastplate of righteousness, and this all given by Jesus who is Yahweh's Salvation, which is the helmet of salvation, and also the truth, which is the belt of Truth.

Prayer is a given. Pray, pray pray. Paul writes "pray without ceasing." Bring everything before the LORD, and also praise Him, and thank Him. Prayer isn't exactly a piece of armor but I would say it is the fuel that keeps the armor going, or the oil that keeps it shiny and useable.

And finally the sword of the Spirit is your offensive weapon: the sword cuts down the enemy as Jesus did in the wilderness when He cut down the devil by using the Word of God: which is the sword of the Spirit. Hebrews 4:12, we all should know this - " For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart"
Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."

Knowing and assurance is so important when it comes to the armor of God, making them alive to you, not just some words in a book, not just some fantasy: but reality, for this is a real battle we are in, and the only way to stand in this battle and gain the victory is to not only put on this armor but to know it. When David went to fight Goliath, King Saul gave him his armor, but David refused it. Look at this,
"And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him" (1 Samuel 17:38-39)

You see, David had not proved, or tested the armor, and it was the armor of another man, not his own personal armor. You have to know your armor, and it has to be specially fitted to you. I imagine also some of that armor was too large for David because Saul was a tall man. So it wouldn't fit right, and the result would be David couldn't move in it. David then took the weapons he KNEW and had used before: a sling and stones, with which he defeated the mighty ogre Goliath. Point being, you have the armor of God specially designed for you by God's wisdom in the forge of Gods consuming fire, and it will fit you perfectly, but you must KNOW it, you must PROVE it, you must test it.

The armor of God will do you no good if you're Bible is on a shelf, or under other books, or collecting dust. It will do you no good if you are not praying and in communion with your father who art in heaven. It also won't do you any good if you lay the shield aside, take the helmet off, and spend hours watching unclean shows on TV or listening to unclean music! That's like walking into the enemies camp, taking off your armor and become a prisoner of war to Satan! Same goes with reading, if you're reading lewd stories, or fantasy novels about wizards and sorcery, or looking at dirty pictures, or listening to foul jokes and cuss words. If you deliberately let the enemy stick those darts in you, he will gladly oblige and fill you full of his dreadful sinful venom!

Put ON the armor of God, and know your armor. Prove it, and train DAILY! Amen!
