I miss the 1970's, (small parts of it), when we called each other, "Man". "Hey, Man wants going on." "Look out, man." "Man, that's wild." It's funny and passe now, but it was first coined by Yeshua. (Luke 12:14) Yeshua, (Jesus' Hebrew name) is the greatest life saving person whoever lived. He made a preserving… Continue reading Saving Lives
opposition to god
The Church of Satan came out against Texas' law restricting abortion and in favor of abortion. God, the author of life, is opposed by the Satan who is for stealing, killing, and destroying. Satanic forces mark the end of a range of those opposed to God and His perfect, loving, will. Somewhere less pronounced, but… Continue reading opposition to god
Complete Surrender
In order to get right with God, we must submit everything to Him. God knows specifically the things we wish to keep for ourselves and confronts us about it. The rich young ruler had been diligent following the laws, but was conflicted when Yeshua, (Jesus' Hebrew name), asked him to give away his wealth and… Continue reading Complete Surrender
Prayer Debriefing 4
Lord, help us stand firm for our loved ones, even when there is a gulf between us of offense, hurt, failure, disappointment, or misunderstanding. Give us your compassion and humility so we will not give up and continue with faith that you can do all things. Restore and redeem us, so the enemy will be… Continue reading Prayer Debriefing 4
Avoid Disqualification
"Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.… Continue reading Avoid Disqualification
Pass Time or Spirit Time
We like to play games, they engage our minds with possibilities that are constrained by rules. These can become addictive or habit forming as an escape from inactivity or boredom. I was thinking about scripture and whether it could become a solution to the lure of phone games. It may be misguided to turn scripture… Continue reading Pass Time or Spirit Time
Testimony Unto Death
We watched a movie, "Tortured for Christ", by Voice of the Martyrs about Richard Wurmbrand. He was a Lutheran minister when the Soviet Communists invaded and took over Romania. It tells how most church leaders submitted to Communists and denied their faith in Christ. Communism is atheistic and persecutes Believers. Mr. Wurmbrand maintained his stand… Continue reading Testimony Unto Death
our heart a spirit house
"And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit." (Eph. 2:22 Many years ago a tract, (a short message printed to hand-out) was written by Robert Munger, entitled, "My Heart Christ’s Home". It is an allegory where Christ enters the heart home of the… Continue reading our heart a spirit house
UnCut Diamonds
I like movies about underdogs, nobodies, social rejects, misfits, poor people, who are truly gifted with hidden inner quality and virtue that emerges and triumphs over vanity, fashion, bullying, stupidity, clicks, meanness, selfishness, arrogance, scheming, and greed. I can endure poor scenery, trivial dialog, weak acting and a dull story, if there is a good… Continue reading UnCut Diamonds
Stoic Intellectual
I want to speak with those who are averse to feelings, having lived by suppressing their own emotions. Many of us were taught indirectly, yet clearly, that emotionalism is bad or at least a display of weakness. Moreover, boys were taught never to cry, as this was something a girl does, and we wanted to… Continue reading Stoic Intellectual
pagans in america
A Pagan is one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods : an irreligious or hedonistic person. This may be a growing group, but it may be disguised by some who prefer to consider themselves humanists, agnostic or atheist. A lot of these people could have some… Continue reading pagans in america
Insanely simple
Insanely Simple is a book written by Ken Segall on the obsessive simplicity of Apple Corporation. It makes the case that one of the keys of Apple's success is its drive to simplify its products and processes and not let complexity creep in. This was a principle Steve Jobs believed in strongly and insisted his… Continue reading Insanely simple
Angels and mankind
There is a song which says, "Jesus, King of Angels". I've thought more than once, "Jesus is the King of Man, not of angels". Of course, He is king of everything which includes Angels too. Angels are an interesting topic of many books. Scripture says, "Or do you not know that the Lord's people will… Continue reading Angels and mankind
Magazine Issue 6
Church History and Israel Church history is marked by departures and restorations to Yeshua, its King and betrothed husband. I believe it mirrors the history of Israel, under the Kings. It started well under Saul with great victories, then fell into darkness, through Saul’s severe disobedience, until David became king and brought restoration. Yet, even… Continue reading Magazine Issue 6
The Successful Coup
One thing to remember about those who perpetrated the successful take over of America is their lack of substance. By that, I mean the nature of their deeds, actions, methods and critical beliefs. Perhaps the best illustration is their secrecy, as they keep hidden from public identification. We don't know who they actually are, assuming… Continue reading The Successful Coup
Baby boomer generation
I was reading a young political commentator who stated that the problems we face are due to the baby boomer generation. This disturbed me, not because I'm a baby boomer, but because there is some truth in the observation. The majority of powerful politicians are Baby Boomers and most super wealthy multibillionaires are Baby Boomers.… Continue reading Baby boomer generation
Put on Christ
"But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that… Continue reading Put on Christ
The Cold War in america
The aggressor Central government has been drawing its lines and threatening full scale invasion on certain fronts. The traditional free States understand that they are in a defensive posture, but they are taking steps to bolster their defenses. The tension is building as the rhetoric and cold war propaganda increase exponentially. There has been violence… Continue reading The Cold War in america

For those who have family concerns, I'm praying that out of His great compassion He will give you wisdom, strength and mercy to help and love your family members in need. These situations can be most trying, but know as you serve and help your family, you are in the center of God's will. You… Continue reading Prayer Debriefing 3
Our Imperishable Body
"But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven,… Continue reading Our Imperishable Body
Open letter to governor bill lee
Tennesseans are independent, not from each other, but as to our belief in liberty. We don't consider ourselves better than our fellow man, understanding that each one has their own destiny and purposes. The Tennessee Walking horse is an illustration, elegant, trained, distinctive and unique. In Shelbyville the National Tennessee walking Horse Celebration is held… Continue reading Open letter to governor bill lee
Following the Spirit’s Lead
The Spirit does not explain all things pertaining to His direction. If we presume or demand background knowledge in order to understand the scope or requirements of the Spirit's appointment we have made a terrible mistake. As independent Americans we think it's reasonable to have knowledge and explanations of our assignments before we begin. In… Continue reading Following the Spirit’s Lead
Unity With whom
It is good to be aware of to who various scriptures refer. For example, Paul spends a considerable time discussing Israel in the book of Romans. As part of that discussion we see that Believers from the nations have not replaced Israel as to God's promises and blessings, but have been grafted in and are… Continue reading Unity With whom
The Debased mind
"For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.' Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe?… Continue reading The Debased mind
The Green Prince Movie
This is a movie released in 2014, about the son of the Hamas leader in the west bank, Mosab Hassan Yousef. He collaborates with the Israeli Shin Bet while acting as his fathers trusted first assistant. It is one of those true stories that are stranger than fiction. However, there is a biblical equivalent between… Continue reading The Green Prince Movie
