A Christ Follower: The Journey

Isaiah 2:1-5 This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD. H.O.P.E When we think about the coming of the Lord during Advent One,  or this week when we light the HOPE Candle on our Advent wreaths,  there are so many thing...

Matthew 24:36–44 As In The Days of Noah: 36 “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will ...

Relearning A Lesson From The Love of My Life            Today I saw a miracle.  The love of my life simply demonstrated an a ct of r andom k indness a few days ago on someone who clearly is angry at us.  What do you think happened?  More kindness in return? Nah! We got a venomous multi-page hate filled letter. This letter was sent by a present day man - who is putting himself out there as a holy person -- recalling memories from a brain that he said was influenced by drugs -- with which he had been experimenting in his earlier years. TLOMLs kind act was like pouring hot coals on this man's head.  Something the Bible says might just happen. So don't expect warm and fuzzies when you practice A.R.K .ing.      I have worked a lot with people who have experimented with drugs or outright used them. One of the things that objectively and scientifically has been determined is that memories, during the time of usage, are ...

Dear Christ Followers, As you know, I wrote and published a book called Rock-Solid Living In A Quicksand World , and I did so because God has made it clear to me that the foundations of western civilization are crumbling. Well Jesus is giving us the way out for us, individually and collectively, if we do as He tells us in my book and "Look back to have a future."  It is so important to me that you get an opportunity to connect with The Lord Jesus in a special way; therefore, I am reducing the Kindle version of the book to 99 cents beginning November 15 to November 22nd.  This is a 72% reduction in price.  Please, on November 15-22, go to   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FE8J78I/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 and be blessed.  Learn how to discover Rock Solid Living for This Quicksand World.  You will be glad you did. By the way.  Please pass this on to all your FaceBook friends, Twitter feed, google and any other social sites...

He came unto His  own, and His own did not receive Him. John 1:11 The Apostle John       Often when people think of Jesus, they think of the man who was Mr. Popular. Because He worked miracles, and because He spoke with such authority that people found His speech irresistible or challenging. The bible talks of how that crowds followed him.  All of this is true; however, it is not the whole story.      For example, when John opened his gospel he talked about Jesus ( The Word) being with God in creation, and he talked about how that nothing was made that was made without Jesus being involved in it.  Then he tells us something like, and though all things were made by Him, He came unto His own, and His own didn't receive Him.  If you read the entirety of John's gospel,  you will see how that initially even His biological  brothers did not receive Him. They challenged Him and or  rejected Him. They even tried to force...
