The Salt and Light in America

If there's any striking back to be done then i will trust in God to do the striking as He sees fit. Lord, please take the fight out of me.  i am sure i'm not that much better than a year ago when i asked You this. May my five senses be ever searching for the Your presence. Thank You for being my surrogate Parent, as You've been all along.  When i refrain from doing bad to another i'm only put into  neutral position.  i must do good to one who treats me bad.  If someone were to say, "I need to smack your face, " i should say, "and i need to give you the last dollar in my wallet."

The salt and light of America will be sucked away in an instant over time.  Support of Israel is waning.  President Biden hasn't made things clear.  The Israel/Palestinian two state solution is not the solution.  The way things are stewing in the pot these days i'm finding it harder dealing with people in general .  i feel like i'm not getting much work done and nobody's coming around to help and i thank God for setting up this path of getting into these situations so i can draw ever closer to Him.

When i shop at Walmart, i find i'm shopping around morons who have no concept of customer service.  These days there's less and less customer service, replaced by lippy lip service.  And who tears open a package of underwear at the store anyway?  i always wait till i get home!  The Tower of Babel seems to be being rebuilt.  We all need to hear about who Jesus is--not who He was--and what He promises--not what He promised--and we need to stray away from such vague spiritualism.

Broiled Fish and Some Honeycomb

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
