Keep trusting
April 30, 2018Eklessia
April 30, 2018A re-post:
The NT Greek word for “church” is “Eklessia” : “Ek” meaning out, and “lessia” meaning called, so a called-out group of people. The word comes from the Greek political assembly, which was called The Eklessia. Though it’s a simple enough concept it is packed with meaning: Called out of what, and called unto what? Called for what purpose? Who does the calling? What if they’re not called? ….. It’s pretty clear that the Eklessia is defined by the ONE who does the calling, Jesus Christ, who calls people out of the world and unto Him, out of sin and unto righteousness, that the purpose of the assembling together is totally defined by the One who called the assembly, for He calls a people together in Him and to Him, and for Him and by Him. If it’s not about Him then it’s probably not His assembly, but if it’s about Him, His purpose, His truth, His teaching, His kingdom, His love and righteousness, then it’s most likely His Eklessia, His assembly. So, Eklessia is a calling from Jesus Christ. We need to heed His call to come together at His feet.
How disarmament works
April 30, 2018How does nuclear disarmament work? If you make threats against another country then you must be disarmed, but if you don’t make any threats, but you fully intend to use them anyway, you just keep your mouth shut, then you cannot be disarmed? Dictators should just keep their mouth shut, eh.
Peace talks
April 29, 2018Negotiating peace with a savage killer of innocent people…. Don’t let the warm fuzzy feelings carry you too far away from reality.
Getting along
April 29, 2018You would think if people all followed Jesus in Spirit and truth they would all get along?
Leaving it behind
April 29, 2018We live so many years in this world so we can learn to leave it behind. There’s nothing of this world we can take with us.

Expressing your faith to God
April 25, 2018To pray about things is the prime way we express our faith to God, and then to act in faith.
He’s so loving!
April 25, 2018I’m encountering more people these days who can’t tell when a preacher is faking the way he speaks, just like an actor who can talk in such loving, kind and gentle tones, but it’s just a role they’re playing. If you’re in the religion business you need such acting ability or you’ll never make money.
Prejudice
April 25, 2018Prejudice is insidious.
They’ve never heard of John
April 24, 2018I commented on FB:
Perhaps 90% of the body of Christ lives in developing countries, and perhaps 90% of them have never heard of John Calvin, and they’re doing fine.
Political
April 24, 2018The problem with political discussions is they get political.

The joy of our life
April 24, 2018The Lord, Himself, must be the joy of our life.
“Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice.”
(Philippians 4:4)
Amen.
We can only rejoice when we have something to rejoice about.
As a Christian, do you have something to rejoice about?
You surely do.
Another brick in the wall
April 24, 2018I never thought I would find myself agreeing with Pink Floyd, but, “Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!” They are just bricks in the wall, brainwashed by the Liberal left.
