Ezekiel 33


1The word of the Lord came to me: 2“Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. 5Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. 6But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’

My God your word is a fire.

When we speak our breath becomes flame. 

But no other way fulfills your desire. 

So happily we honor your name.

Alrighty then


Let’s try to set the record straight here.  There should be a separation of church and state, to keep the godless tyrants out of church matters.

But there should be no separation between Church and man.  The way we act in church ought to be the way we act outside the church.

It would be ideal if our life outside the church we’re seamlessly intertwined with the way we act when in the church.  To put it another way, “Everything Christ all the time”.

When this is not the case we stand on the verge of hypocrisy.  And it doesn’t matter who is and who is not!  This truth remains despite our obedience.  And isn’t this the very root of encouragement in Christ?

Who woulda thunk?

When the first camera was unveiled (no pun intended), who would have thought that such a marvelous device could be used to enforce a police state?

Satan did.

Right now the general public is alarmed at the use of cameras to enforce social order.  But the general public has no real need of concern.  Some will suffer momentarily.  But they are not the end game for this invention.

Do you really think Satan cares about what the world does?  He doesn’t give a hoot what non-Christians do.  If you think otherwise it’s only your pride raising its ugly head.

Think for a moment.  Who is the enemy of Satan?

During moments of insanity


If someday you find yourself lapsing into a temporary bout of insanity in which the thought crosses your meagre and sick mind to praise me, clasp your hands over your mouth and shut up.  Remain in that position until sanity returns.  It shouldn’t take more than a moment or two.

When the Lucid thoughts begin to flow, praise the God who made us both.   Amen!

Science versus God


Simmons beautyrest says, “better sleeping through science”. 

They are trying to sell what God gives freely.  There is no sleep so sweet as that of a forgiven conscience.

Be patient


If you tend to be contentious  during that time of peace and plenty your list of friends will be exceedingly  small.

But let the times turn to persecution and famine and you will not have room in your house for those who want to be near you.
