    Lord, it was YOU...

    Lord, I am what I am, because of YOU. Because - It was You who knew I needed a saviour; It was You who knew I needed grace to fill the gap between You and me; It was You who has what I most needed, the Agape love; It was You who showed me mercy when I deserved death as punishment; It was...

    2timothy3 -- Unveiling Impostors

    3 But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. It is very interesting to me that there appear to be two completely different narratives playing out on the internet. There are those who are compiling video footage of natural disasters, strange phenomena and economic indicators...

    The First Memorial

    Exodus 12:14 So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance. The first memorial found in the Law of Moses is to perpetuate the memory of the night The Lord struck down...

    Life has its trials and its tribulations. And, whether we are godly, or we are not, we are not immune to suffering. Suffering is just part of life. And, as followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to share in the fellowship of Christ’s sufferings, becoming like him in his death. And, so our...

    Quasichristian Inversion, And Oneness In Christ

    Jesus, Christ, the Lord, asked His Father for a major oneness. He asked that His Father take the eleven faithful disciples, and all others who come to believe in Him through their message, into oneness with Them. We have this in the Gospel of John, chapter 17, verses 20 through 23. And we have...

    Leviticus Drives

    Just to mention of the Book of Leviticus these days, can evoke a groan. We just don’t put ourselves in the shoes of the folks in that book very much. But there is a way to do so, and it gets easier every year in this day and age. It has to do with depression, in other words, the personal...

    A Culture Sunk in Vanity

    The Western culture has been sinking deeper and deeper into vanity. I feel that, in our society, virtue has become degenerated from something that is valued in itself to something valued as a rhetorical tool. We have developed into a sort of 'hype culture' where a virtuous action is principally...
