As the saying goes, "Show me your friends and I will predict your future". We are a summation of our thinking which is influenced by the environment we are in, including family, friends, associates and media in all forms. The more we associate with a particular set of thinking then that thinking expresses…

Sharing the Bounty

Sharing the Bounty.

English roses are different than the ones we typically grow in the US, different from those that can be plucked from the big black vases in the grocery store. They are densely-petaled and a little bit lacey looking. Pictured below are my favorites: Abraham Darby, Shakespeare ~ And, English roses are hearty.

So in my last backyard, I had a bounty of them – in all colors and shades. Often, I made bouquets and gave them…

Burn the Cross.

http://www.theempoweredchristian.com/archives-59.html

Having been commanded to store up treasures of Heavenly value, (Matt. 6:20) many of the Body still hold onto things that moth, rust, and rot take hold of. We have been freed from Earthly things and lifted up onto Heavenly things. We can throw off the chains of the law and walk in Righteousness as Christ does. His Glory is no longer…

Christian Books, materials

I am passionate about spreading the word of God around the world. Myself and several of my friends are into Christian Media. We love translating Christian materials into different languages, convert Christian books into audio books, type the scanned copy of handwritten christian books and notes. May the Lord be with us!

"But, but I'm not a gardener!"

'I'm just not a gardener, so we have to make it simple,' I said to my new neighbors who came to help us design and plant a (large) front yard in Northern California. See, we had bought an old home in foreclosure and the yard was nothing but rocks and weeds, and there was much work to be done. Though I think it was about 22 years ago, I remember like yesterday thinking, 'Now I will be happy to water occasionally, but I can't imagine much more than that; I don't like getting dirt under my…

Letter to the Faithful - Throne Builders !

Do you not yet know, we are Throne Builders! That we are laying upon the foundation of Christ. That solid foundation of Righteousness. We are Throne Builders of the Heavenly realm that Christ prayed for God’s Kingdom to be established on Earth as in Heaven. No longer a seat of deceit but one of Glorious Light as the Father enjoys now in His Throne room, forever eternal.…

Look up.

Look up.

How often do you look up? At the clouds, the varying hues of reds, pinks, and oranges at sunset, the night sky, trees and stars ... if it is not a regular practice for you, I hope you might consider looking up. I personally think that God shows off at what we behold when we look up!

A week ago I was in my backyard1 and I looked up at my apricot tree, wondering when it might start budding. I kid you not, …

You and your sheet.

You and your sheet. Acts 10.9-17

I boarded the bus with sleepy eyes and a heart filled with expectation at what I was going to see and learn on our first day in Israel. As we drove north from the Tel Aviv area, we passed many businesses that were familiar - from high tech…

This changes everything.

This changes everything. Acts 10

'I don't read the Bible because it is much too difficult to understand.'

'It is out of date, has nothing to do with my life right now...'know what I mean?'

I've heard it a myriad of times. I get it. There are times I read through a passage and am left with a question mark hanging over my head-

'What is this about, and what could it possibly have…

You are Here.

You are Here. Acts 9. You want to find the Dumbo ride in Fantasy Land at Disneyland, so you consult a park map, but first in order to get to Dumbo, you must find the “you are here” marker. You are looking for the nearest exit on a New York City subway station map, but first … you must locate the “you are here” sign. Whether you are reading this or listening to a podcast, “You are here” – in the study of the book of Acts, written by the gospel writer Luke, for the historical record of the…

Don't say "God" around here.

Don't say "God" around here....and by all means, keep Jesus out of it! Acts 9.23-42

Juan was affixing a mailing label to my box when I commented on the vivid rose tattoo on his fore arm. Like my friends who love being complimented on their body artistry, he lit up and talked about what he was going to have done next. "You know, FedEx just recently changed their policy on tattoos; it used to be that shirt sleeves had to cover tattoos. Not any more - so long as…

Spiritual, are you?

Spiritual, are you? 1 Timothy 1.12-17

Good Day.

So I got somewhat turned around on New York City's labyrinth of subway rails and wound up in a Brooklyn neighborhood I enjoyed some years ago, Crown Heights. Okay, truth be told, it was the last stop-I had to get off the train! After taking in the uniqueness of the predominantly Orthodox community, jumped in a taxi with Roman to cross a couple miles to Williamsburg. Prominently…
