Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
What Is the Question?
In the example of Jesus, the greatest expositor of answering a question with a question, two of the greatest questions we mortals can ask are "Why?" and "May I pray for you?"
What Now 2 Do
And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded. Matthew 10:42 NLT Our purpose is to announce the Good News, and to disciple believers until they are fully surrendered. God's role is salvation and...
Perhaps Even Yet
Hate evil and love good. Establish justice at the city gate. Perhaps even yet the Lord, the God of Heaven’s Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. Amos 5:15
A Holy Riot
About that time there arose no little disturbance concerning the Way. Acts 19:23 ESV
Spiritual Maturity And The Fruit Of The Spirit
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." Galatians 5: 22-23 NIV The fruit of the Spirit is the manifestation of Christ’s life in us. It is evidence of God’s conforming us to the...
Turning Up The Temperature
You are not hot or cold. I wish that you were hot or cold! But you are only warm, not hot, not cold. So I am ready to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:15-16 Jesus doesn’t want passive followers. He wants us to pursue Him, to seek understanding, to pray for more...
Divine Direction 5: Man Plans
Listen up. Man plans and God laughs. "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." Proverbs 16:9 ESV
Divine Direction 4: Defy Explanation
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.” Luke 1:35 The late Dr. Adrian Rogers once challenged a large gathering with these words: “We have no right to be believed so long as we can be explained.” Most of our lives are...
Divine Direction 3: Diligence
The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. Proverbs 21:5 ESV
Divine Direction 2: Wise Counsel
Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisors they succeed. Proverbs 15:22 But not just any advisors. We need to search for godly counsel, and seek alignment with God's Word and Will.
Divine Direction 1: God, The Guide Of His Saints
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Psalm 73:24 KJV Man is not intended for earth. He is only a pilgrim through it to eternal happiness. This he seeks for, but to gain it man needs a guide. And this guide must be well chosen. The...
Scruton On Marxism
"Like every primitive religion, Marxism (government as god) is haunted by imaginary devils. 'Capitalism', 'imperialism', 'deviationism', 'revisionism', 'infantile leftism', 'fascism.' Everywhere in the path of the Marxist lie dark and inscrutable enemies." Adapted,...
Drained?
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7 Do you sometimes wake up and realize you’re just totally depleted? Physically, emotionally, spiritually? I certainly do. And when I examine...
Totalitarianism And The Human Condition
We are in a series on totalitarianism. Political and human chaos seem to be on the rise, not just in one geographic region, but globally. Why is this? Unless the human mind can explain and make sense of it, it will, as a self-protective, block it out. So we seek to...
Scruton on Totalitarianism
"It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on intellectuals in their attempts to control the world. And since… it is futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into,...
The End Is Nigh. Or Not.
For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 NLT Paul is telling the church at Thessalonica that one of the early warning signs of Christ's return will be a great falling away (rebellion, apostasy) from The Faith. From...
Totalitarianism, Continued
In June of 1949, George Orwell (1903 - 1950), a British author, published his soon to become classic, Nineteen Eighty Four (sometimes ‘1984’). The novel described a totalitarian future where the population has been brainwashed into obedience to Big Brother. Control is...
The Arc Of The Present Moment (Note 1)
All totalitarian movements (including, but not limited to, Marxism, Neo-Marxism, Socialism, Neo-Socialism, Democratic Socialism (a figment), The World Economic Forum (WEF), and simple run-of-the-mill dictatorships) require an external enemy. In America at the moment,...
