“He said, “Go and tell this people: “ ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” (Isaiah… Continue reading Spiritual Blindness
Mistrust Warranted
You wouldn’t trust the devil if you were thinking right and you shouldn’t trust your own independent thinking all the time either. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” (Proverbs 3:5) One may question, how are we to live, God gave us an intellect to use? We… Continue reading Mistrust Warranted
Give Praise
The Lord, Yeshua, Messiah is the pinnacle of perfection, fully human as He is fully God. It is only fitting and right that we give Him the praise due his name. Set aside everything and seek His face. Praise His mercy shown you, praise Him above the highest heavens. Give praise recounting His goodness to… Continue reading Give Praise

"The Inner Game of Tennis" by Timothy Gallwey is a short book on the mental side of peak performance for Tennis as well as other sports.

Prayer Debriefing 14
The Lord is working and His Kingdom is growing. He invites us to join His work through prayer. Holy Spirit teach us and lead us to pray according to the Father’s will. Yeshua is destroying the works of the devil, prayer is involved tearing down strongholds and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of… Continue reading Prayer Debriefing 14
Godliness Training
"Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come." I Timothy 4:7-8 "But solid food is for the mature, for those… Continue reading Godliness Training
A Grand Dream Realized
The world was ruled by tyrants, dictators, kings and tribal leaders for ages. When the printing press was invented to print the Bible it was spread around the world. Increased literacy was like a bright sunrise shinning on all mankind. Gradually, people began to understand the character and purposes of a loving Creator God. This… Continue reading A Grand Dream Realized

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James… Continue reading Effective Prayer
Fellow Americans
I understand your disgust and mistrust of rich Establishment Republicans. I understand being a member of a union at work where management will single out people to mistreat. I understand following one’s family political traditions, or not. I understand the insignificance of much political discourse in the last few decades. I can relate to the… Continue reading Fellow Americans
The Daughters of Molech
“They built the high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I had not commanded them nor had it entered My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin." Jeremiah 32:35 Pro-Life advocate… Continue reading The Daughters of Molech
Foolish Talk
”Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.” (2 Timothy 3:8-9)… Continue reading Foolish Talk
Justice Rejected
When power is the goal those who seek it must discard justice. The Communists proved this slaughtering millions of their citizens. In America it has thus far taken a hidden circuitous route. It started with affirmative action which was not a law, but a bureaucratic policy saying that if there is a tie between the… Continue reading Justice Rejected
Preparation For Heaven
Was your first thought about this title getting right, repenting, and/or somehow pleasing God? These can be appropriate considerations in certain circumstances, but think about what Yeshua has done and been doing throughout our lives, then we take our last breath and give up our sprit to God as Yeshua did on the cross. He… Continue reading Preparation For Heaven
God’s Mercy
God makes himself clear and understood, then He looks for faith from us. He does not give second chances when there is no faith, but He does strengthen weak faith. (Mark 9:24) However, He does not forget His promises and He leaves a remnant and delivers the outcast. He knows the weakness in mankind and… Continue reading God’s Mercy
Eternal Spring
In God’s Kingdom there is no decay, no death, and everlasting spring. Today, Believers are a part of that Kingdom which is beyond space and time. A sample will be seen on earth when Yeshua returns and reigns for a thousand years, but the final Glory of God must be in a new heaven and… Continue reading Eternal Spring
Grafted In
"I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew....But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in… Continue reading Grafted In
Vengeance of God
“It is mine to avenge….See now that I myself am he! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand.” (Deut. 32:35,39; Heb. 10:30) A story of David, Nabal and his wife Abigail… Continue reading Vengeance of God
In Whom You Believe
There is a question that distinguishes the Believer and the pretender, the one who overcomes and the one who turns back. We are imperfect and make many mistakes, choose selfish ways and succumb to the enemy’s lies and snares, yet we have believed and when asked whether we would leave, respond, “To whom shall we go?… Continue reading In Whom You Believe
Day Dawns
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The… Continue reading Day Dawns
True Greatness
I was thinking about talents, aptitude, skill, expertise, ability, which we all have to a certain degree. It’s much easier to consider what we cannot do, particularly, as we look around at others demonstrating various abilities that seem great. Scripture reminds us how small or lowly we are in a world of forces and spirits… Continue reading True Greatness
Temple Grandin The Movie
This is a movie about a woman who was born with autism. However, before you dismiss it, its not really about autism. It is about things everyone can relate to, social awkwardness, overcoming resistance, difficulty communicating, achievement, hard work, school, purpose and most importantly - love. This movie has an IDBM rating of 8.2 and… Continue reading Temple Grandin The Movie
Christ’s Approach to the World
"And ordered them not to make him known. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: 'Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone… Continue reading Christ’s Approach to the World
Civil War Again
The internet confirms a high percentage of people think a second civil war is possible in America. All of the subsequent speculation is about which states or sections of the nation would be involved. There seems to be a universal assumption that the “Far Right” would initiate the Civil war against the “Government” and the… Continue reading Civil War Again
The Lord My Rock
“Can a corrupt throne be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees? The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.” (Psalms 94:20-22) Resurrection Sunday is soon, will the… Continue reading The Lord My Rock
SCOTUS Schizophrenia
An obscure case involving a Texas city government is before the SCOTUS. Naturally, there are complex legal questions and a recent case upon which a decision may rely. However, stepping back from the minutia of legalese, I see the Court asking itself what is necessary proof that Joe Biden, the Deep State, DOJ, FBI and/or… Continue reading SCOTUS Schizophrenia
