Verbal Trickery
Proverbs 4:20-27 My son, pay attention to all the words I am telling you. Lean in closer so you may hear all I say. Keep them before you; meditate on them; set them safely in your heart. For those who discover them, they are life. They bring wholeness and healing to their bodies. Above all […]
Loving God ~ Loving People
1 John 4:20-21 If anyone boasts, “I love God,” and goes right on hating his brother or sister, thinking nothing of it, he is a liar. If he won’t love the person he can see, how can he love the God he can’t see? The command we have from Christ is blunt: Loving God includes […]

Speculation Is Not Revelation
Now think of the fig tree. As soon as its twigs get tender and greenish, as soon as it begins to sprout leaves, you know to expect summer. In the same way, when you see the wars and the suffering and the false liberators and the desolations, you will know the Son of Man is […]
Say-So
Let those who are busy plotting violence and doing wrong stop right now, turn, and do right. Let them turn back to the Eternal so they can experience His compassion. God will excuse our past wrongs. Our God’s forgiveness is inexhaustible. Isaiah 55:7 The Voice Who is among you who reverently fears the Lord, who obeys […]
Shed Self-Righteousness
“There are sins much more serious than socio-pathologies which really are mental illnesses, whereas self-righteousness is an illness of the soul.” Quote By― R. Alan Woods As it is written, none is righteous, just and truthful and upright and conscientious, no, not one. Romans 3:10 Amplified Bible “The deceitfulness of the heart of man appears in […]
