The seventh angel sounded.

Revelation 11:16,17

My previous post has seen the two-witnesses removed from the earth, brought on a great earthquake, and left everyone watching in fear.

Revelation 11:16 ESV And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

What does it mean to say Merry Christmas?

My days off are split but I am learning to live with it. I suppose that means no overnight trips into the desert to view the night sky, something I have not seen in over thirty years. But it would be good to have some recovery time for the feet. Oh well. I try to get as many things done in my one as possible, like laundry and early morning bible study. It is about the only day that I have time to sit at the keyboard and input based upon my previous thoughts I have written in my notepad.

You can learn a lot from an insect!

Probing Proverbs 6:6-8 Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter☚ 

The great thing about “Truth” is that it is Truth. Doesn’t matter where it comes from or who said it, when it is Truth you cannot argue with it, you either accept it or reject it.  All Truth comes from God, and though the source to validate all Truth is the Scriptures, it is not the only source of Truth. Wisdom gives us that example right here. When confronting people who are lazy, wisdom instructs them to learn from the ants.  Many a proud man might arrogantly state, “What can an insect teach me?”  That is exactly the point of Truth, whether it be from a genius or the example of an insect…

Changing the narrative

The guest speaker at Church was Johhny Enroe. I have seen his name listed among other prophetic speakers, but I am usually unimpressed by that stuff.

I thought I had a plan.

This is a response I posted to a new blogger, on another site I go to.

I got on the computer this morning because I thought I had a plan, but  all morning long I have run into people like you, and I cannot stop the tears.

When you ask "why things happen?", I don't know why either.

I am now 58, but at 25 Jesus appeared to me and laid my life out before me. I thought, I should write this down, but I did not, and in the morning, when I awoke, I could only remember that he had been there, and the joy I felt knowing the end result.

This will help me understand? (Repeat this with an unusually heavy accent.)

I had asked a Jehovah Witness friend from work some questions about end times, because I wanted to get his take on it.

He threw out his answer and then said, you should read this. It happened to be this booklet.

How do you know?

"How do you know that is was God that answered your prayer?"

It may be natural to feel challenged when someone asks "how do you know?"; I do the same thing all the time. People make statements, but do not demonstrate a pattern consistent with the statement, or it seems so brash that you want to know why they made it. I am not asking a question like that because I am lacking a relationship with the Lord, but I certainly do want to know what theirs is.
