The “Put-Down” Culture

On Saturday morning, my neighbor called me over to her and she was in tears. She explained between sobs that she had to "put-down" her Rothweiler that had been with her for over 11 years. I wanted to be polite and sympathetic, so I told her it is a common practice nowadays to put-down pets. …

The Persistent Honey Trap

I rode my bicycle down to the office to recertify my housing assistance. My portion of rent raised by $100.00 although none of my income did. It's just another very long list of things that defies all reason, but I carry on with the seal of the Spirit of Christ in my thoughts. I'm not …

I was Called and didn’t Know

John 6:43-44 I came to Jesus because I didn't like what the alternative choice was. If I lived by the mark of the beast I would constantly be fighting against human decency. I saw decent human beings being harassed and heckled for no other reason than for keeping themselves apart from harmful behaviors. I was expected …

Hunting for the Fun of It?

"There's one!" is something I hear routinely and most of the time it is not in the context of an Easter egg hunt, nor is it in the context of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. But I have been to a few community and church organized Easter egg hunts and the phrase, "There's one!" is …

Th Bride and the Temple, What are They?

Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean that I'm excluded from Heaven in the new heaven and new earth. The Temple: Although I'm the temple of the Holy Ghost it doesn't mean God rejects me, "I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple." Revelation 21:22 It …

Mistreated for Wearing my Christian T-Shirt

I wore my t-shirt today that reads, "Normal Isn't Coming Back, Jesus Is. Revelation 14". The neighbor lady read my shirt and wanted to chat with me. Apparently, she translated the words on my shirt as, "Please Use Me for Any Type of Manual Labor That You Need Me For." She buttered me up then …

Knowledge isn’t the Same Nowadays

Genesis 3:2-5 I know how extraordinarily knowledgeable and wise a person becomes when I try to talk with them. There is no way to discuss anything with them. Especially when they sit in places of authority. I am usually harshly rebuked for questioning their knowledge and wisdom. Whether in a workplace setting or not. Their …

Terrifying Days to Live Through

Matthew 14 I know how scary life is when being a decent human being through the Spirit of Jesus Christ. I have numerous memories relating to those things. My Dad had a pacemaker put in, but while in the hospital he raised his left arm too high, and it was pulled from his heart. They …

Temptations Make War with my Christian Testimony

As soon as people bring up the subject of overwhelming force of feelings that seem to contradict the Christian testimony, I immediately think of the mark of the beast. Some people seem to be suggesting that if a person can't control their feelings, then the testimony of Jesus Christ doesn't mean anything. The whole subject …

No Religion is the Way to Peace?

Revelation 13:6-7 I noticed that the global agreement on religion is the same, that it fosters bigotry, dogma, intolerance, conflict, and wars. The consensus of the international community is that without religion there would be much more peace in the world. John's Lennon song, "Imagine" has become a theme song protesting for world peace, "Imagine …
