I grew up in the computer age, in High School I took a new computer math course using punched cards to write and input our programs. In University we used modems to connect to the mainframe and submit our programs over an analog telephone line. In business we accessed an infant internet consisting of intra-organizational… Continue reading Garbage In, Garbage Out and AI

I have been involved in a lot of church work my whole life, but I consider Yeshua to be everything and the hidden life in Him. I was part of the Jesus movement revival of the early 1970's and I have a heart for Israel.
Prophecy Fulfilled
“We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.” (2 Peter 1:19) In the last days prophecy will continue to be fulfilled, just… Continue reading Prophecy Fulfilled
Biden’s Accomplishments
Amidst the lies that Bidenomics has been successful and his obvious cognitive decline various Dems, most recently Hillary Clinton, have said, “He has accomplish more than anyone.” I considered this utter foolishness and the Dem-Media’s tactic of declaring the opposite of reality. However, I tried very hard to look at things through a Dem/Woke perspective and… Continue reading Biden’s Accomplishments
For Money or Not
What activities do you pursue without regard for money? In American society most everything is monetized which means to earn revenue from or convert to money. Some in the church are arrogant in their own righteousness and look down on everyone else. There is money to be had from peddling the word of God as… Continue reading For Money or Not
Election Interference
The Supreme Court is hearing a case of the Biden Administration censoring/manipulating free speech through agents and cooperative Media. Another upcoming case involves whether a state Court or state official can remove a person accused of insurrection from its state election ballot. Also, before the High Court is whether the Constitution gives the President immunity… Continue reading Election Interference
Creator’s Creation
“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in… Continue reading Creator’s Creation
Love
Have you ever met anyone who doesn’t know what love is? I once saw a movie in which a character maintained love was just an emotion, but that was fiction. I have experienced unselfish love by those who are simply loving people and it is amazing. The Bible teaches that God is love and its… Continue reading Love
A Savior’s Task
My wife and children were certified lifeguards. They watched over children at swimming pools, occasionally aiding a child in distress or danger. We have one who watches over us, even we who are older - Yeshua Messiah. We think of our Savior’s work when we came to faith, were baptized or contemplating our entry into… Continue reading A Savior’s Task
America Remembered
America may be nearing its end, a nation corrupt, lewd, immoral, utterly selfish, divided in hundreds of warring factions. It will be abandoned among a world of totalitarian rule and oppression. Will it be remembered as the greatest experiment in freedom, the standard bearer of individual liberty and righteousness? Not if the history revisionists are… Continue reading America Remembered
Worldly Interactions
“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and… Continue reading Worldly Interactions
Dilemma Next
The succession of bad outcomes has led two Democrat politicians to call for Joe Biden to take control of the Texas National Guard against Texas border security personnel who are continuing to install barriers along Texas’ border with Mexico. The current location is on private and State Park property. Governor Abbot is not complying with… Continue reading Dilemma Next
Yeshua’s Return
“They will say, ‘Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” Many Believe in Yeshua and some forget He will come again. Its not that they don’t know He will come back, but it seems far off, too distant to comprehend.… Continue reading Yeshua’s Return
Perfection’s Paradox
There are several competing theories of physics as it pertains to understanding the universe, classical theory which is what you might recall from school. It is based on measurements and breaks the fundamental atom particle down with neutrons and protons in a nucleus and orbiting electrons. The atomic age brought about quantum mechanics which suggested… Continue reading Perfection’s Paradox
The Christian Church
“I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.” (Revelation 3:8) The Church at Philadelphia received these words from the Lord Yeshua and its name means “Brotherly… Continue reading The Christian Church
Business Weakness
Business commerce is a critical sphere in any free nation. America has a history of strong business leadership, occasionally too strong as seen in Standard oil and the monopoly of the oil and steel industry. Competition is essential for advancement and to protect consumers. Innovation is a worthy goal, but artificial advantages are not. Multinational… Continue reading Business Weakness
Believing the Word
“If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:38) When I was a kid, I remember hearing this passage in sermons or when it was read in… Continue reading Believing the Word
Prayer
The scriptures encourage prayer and this is what the congregation of Believers has been about since Yeshua departed in the first century. (Acts 1:14) We don't always feel like praying, particularly when we have turned away from God’s face in self interest. Nevertheless, He is there with us as He was when David brought Bathsheba… Continue reading Prayer
Our Shepherd
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” (Psalms 23:1) We were talking about the chickens and bees we keep and agreed bees are far more difficult. Shepherding is not simply about feeding, sheltering, protecting and caring for one’s herd, it is fundamentally understanding the animals/insects one is raising. Even in keeping a pet… Continue reading Our Shepherd
Present Judgment
“For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. Nevertheless, when… Continue reading Present Judgment
Perfection’s Design
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) The Holy Spirit is God, perfect, eternal, infinite, unfathomable, omniscient - everything and more. He has been imparted to men and women who… Continue reading Perfection’s Design
Truth in Tragedy
Recent wars initiated by Russia and Gaza against Ukraine and Israel, respectively, illustrate a fundamental truth - Humans are broken, not essentially good. The Bible teaches this very clearly through its human history and God’s word. Secular humanists must cringe at recent events which rebut their supposition that humanity is fundamentally good. I think their… Continue reading Truth in Tragedy
Salvage
“This is what the Lord says: 'As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and people say, "Don’t destroy it, there is still a blessing in it," so will I do in behalf of my servants; I will not destroy them all.' ” (Isaiah 65:8) I learned something about myself years ago,… Continue reading Salvage
Dumb Statements
There have been some really stupid things uttered by people who should know better and consider themselves intelligent. The first which comes to my mind is Mike Bloomberg who said, “I could teach anybody, even people in this room so no offense intended, to be a farmer. It's a process. You dig a hole, you… Continue reading Dumb Statements
Israel’s Spiritual Family
“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.”… Continue reading Israel’s Spiritual Family
Help Parenting
This generation of parents are different from their parents and their parent's parents, so they have their own blind spots to be aware of and try to clear before turning too sharply into a collision. Parenting is a divine charge and cannot be ignored without severe consequences. (Ps. 127:3) As this responsibility is given from… Continue reading Help Parenting
