Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

My heart for ministry is to see communities living with a passionate heart for the Gospel, forever transformed and equipped to take care of themselves and assist new disciples to meet their needs and those of others.
I am passionate about equipping believers to do everything as an outcome of their daily conversation with God, and to train others to do the same.
I do this because God told me that He will teach me His word so that I teach it to others.
Verse of the Day: Psa. Psa. 2:6

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

NO DOUBT!!! And it would probably be a Scriptural 40 pages long!
The question is:
Would organized church (i.e., what Church has become) leaders open the letter?
Or, because of how many “ships have sailed” over the last 1800 years – dogma, fear mongering, customs, practices, traditions of which a significant number were acquired by merger – would Paul’s letter get thrown into the shredder?
—I would like to share how my wife stood up for Marriage at the Great Frederick Fair in Frederick, Md. and how it challenged a violinist to also stand up and share about the Lord Jesus.
At the fair there is a spot which is called the free stage. There was a band. Led by Dennis Lee, who rented it and held outdoor concerts at the fair. Dennis is a Christian as well and openly talks about the Lord as well. The Dennis Lee, when we got there, was interviewing a couple who have been married for over 55 years. My wife is proud that we have been married 55 years. She got his attention and shared it with him. Dennis asked her what held us together, and my wife unashamedly that it was the Lord. She also shared briefly about reading the Bible together and praying together with her husband.
In Dennis Lee’s Band was a violinist, an accomplished violinist—Stephanie Ann Simon. (StephanieAnn.com) She was going to play the National Anthem at the Demolition Derby that night. The Band leader asked her to play it for us while we were there. Before she did, she looked at my wife and told her that what she said about Marriage encouraged to her to share her thoughts too. She proceeded to talk about Jesus, and how Jesus was important to her and her home. Wow!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a move of God’s Holy Spirit. One person spoke up initially—my wife, then what was said encouraged someone else to share—Stephanie Ann Simon.
—She ended her testimony with playing the National Anthem—with a performance that I wish you could have heard. It was so moving that this retired Army officer rendered a military salute as it was played.
Seeing this move of God’s Holy Spirit in sharing a word about Christ—there must have been someone in the crowd who needed to hear that word. May God’s word bring the fruit to which it was sent.
The above has been shared to encourage others to share their testimony.
A few years agok my wife and I were saddened to learn that the VBS director of my church did not encourage asking children to put their faith in Jesus by asking Him into their heart. She did not believe children understood the concept of a Spiritual Heart. She thought most thought of the heart as an organ that pumps blood. The result was, no one was Saved during that VBS. SAD.
On hearing this, my wife and I both wanted to find a way to explain the Spiritual Heart. I looked for a visual way to help a verbal explanation. From my past studies, I decided on using some etymology discipline and my studies of the ancient Hebrew Pictographic letters. I found that the the ancient Hebrew Pictographic letters in this case were very helpful.
The attached document are lessons that may be helpful in explaining the Spiritual Heart, both verbally and visually.
In posting these Lessons, I would apprecaite feed back.
One other consideration--Sunday School attendance is down, and possibly VBS too. Someone could veryfy if that is correct--but I believe it may well be true. We have many of our youth leaving church and Christianity. My heart in sharing this study is to provide a way that can help people and children learn about the Spiritual Heart. Hopefully when they do, they will desire to put their faith in Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
Please, if you take the time to read this, study the lesson provided and let me know some constructive thoughts about how we can encourage leaders to teach about what the Spiritual Heart is.
Thank you very much.

Agree/Disagree: Are We Really Protecting Our Theology?
This is no time for despair. We don’t need to reinvent the church but to rediscover it, for the church is God’s creation. This is no time to abandon theology but to drill down deeper to take every thought, and every social imaginary, captive to Christ. The local church is the place to cultivate biblical literacy, to learn what every Christian needs to know to represent Christ and his kingdom.
Over the last 10 years, in my study of God’s Word and Ancient Hebrew letters, in a discipline call Etymology, the Lord showed me something interesting in two of the Names of God that I studied. One is Prince of Peace, which is Sar Shalom in Hebrew. The other Name of God is Everlasting Father, which is El Gibbor in Hebrew. In my study of Names of God, I use an etymological approach, looking at the meanings of Hebrew letters as found through Archeological research. I know some do not accept that letters of Hebrew have meaning--but the research using archeological studies, which that I have done, shows that they do have meaning.
There are two different letters in Hebrew which focus on similar concepts—the concept of ‘lifting up’.
The concept of lifting up is seen in both letters. When it is applied to the Names of God, it suggests that both of these Names of God, have something to do with lifting up. In the Name, Prince of Peace, Sar shalom—it would indicate that a prince’s job is to lift up. In the Name, Everlasting Father, it would suggest that a Mighty God is lifting something up. What is that something? The letter בּ, beyt, which is used in that of that name and refers to a House—or a Family.
From the study of the Name of God, Prince of Peace above, it suggests that a Prince is to lift up those whom he is prince over. Putting those two meanings together, the Name, Mighty God refers to lifting up the family, with God who is over his family as the Head lifting up His family! Both names have the concept of lifting up. Our God is one that lifts up. He is one that encourages—which is just one way of lifting up. Lifting up is way of showing that God cares for us. Much more could be said, but what we have shared about this concept of lifting up should help us to be thankful that we have a God who cares about us and lifts us up both as individuals and as a family. God’s Name is worthy to be praised.
#ItSeemsToMe…A journal can be a metaphor for your faith journey.
Your cover may be ornate, artsy, or plain. The pages may be bound or spiral. Call it a diary or your notebook. Small or large. Personal or customized for a group.
In any case, it gives you space to articulate your faith.
Everyone has a unique journal that tells the story of their life of faith.
Some journals are well-worn with uncountable notes, questions, stories, maybe some poems or doodles.
Some look brand new. Not much to see or read. Maybe empty.
