Because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:
3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son,
will be with us in truth and love.
4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth,
just as the Father commanded us.
2 John 1:6
And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.
As you have heard from the beginning,
His command is that you walk in love
Ephesians 5
Everything exposed by the light becomes visible -
and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
Galatians 5:16-25
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit,
and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy,
peace,
patience,
kindness,
goodness,
faithfulness,
gentleness,
self-control;
against such things, there is no law.
24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus
have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit,
let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another,
envying one another.
Deuteronomy 11:22
If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow
– to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast to him
Micah 6:8
He has shown all you people what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
John 13:34
A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
Acts 20:28
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock
of which the Holy Spirit
has made you overseers.
Be shepherds of the church of God,
which He bought with His own blood.
A few years back, we remembered children aren't poisoned at Halloween and the covers of magazines don't have to be wrapped in brown paper to avoid being offensive.
The Word of God seem to happen at the 500 year calendar mark. Circa 1500 A.D. The Black Plagues ended serfdom and made reading a skill well known in all classes. Changing classes became easier due to need and necessity for all to contribute. England cottoned on, and new immigrants were supposed to pull the harder workloads in exchange for the hope for their children and prosperity. For the first time, Mass was read in the participants' language to understand the Word of God. The Printing Press made sure the Bible could be in your hand and understood in your own language.
We seem to have a control issue going on. When no one wants to give up hope of massive influence and control. Any which way to regain the ability, lies, manipulation. And this is absolutely without a winning merit.
It started with magazines. Magazines that were shrouded, were not desirable. Then we had the Age of Information. No one bought Magazines. Then, when the Oscars came around, no one had been to the movie or wanted to hear shaming, posturing when the alternative was Netflix. For years, we had had programming shoving horror movies down us when the leaves turn colors. Now we have choices. In fact, so many choices, the major networks don't have the ratings and new media is being found. The New Media has gained in popularity so much, the old movie producers are being bought up with surprising sources. The changes are just beginning.
People want to live their lives in a morally based truth. The ground doesn't shift, and you know your own mind and deliberations. The future for your children is more secure. And if the truth has to be discovered and sought out - well there is a reason God has said to all the Generations since Abraham, seek me and you will find me.
The news is being found on YouTube. New TV stations. Truth is not being withheld.
The way we have movies on demand, it's not a lot of horror. There is Action of blowing up and swinging on ropes and fists. History is incredibly in demand, and most people know the stories well enough not to have the evasions enjoyed. Vikings are a big draw. To understand plundering and need. Which would point to the Falcao Islands. And a need for new laws regarding Dolphins.
Justice is actually the strong point these days, when Justice is beginning to show some normalcy.
In the New Age of Information, people have discovered an awful lot about delving for information. To believe otherwise is to stand in 1500 A.D. and demand everyone hand in books. Abraham Lincoln had a statement we all know about information and who can be fooled.
What happened in the Age of Literacy, 1500 A.D.?
Divisions!!!
We have Truth and we have Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists and Anabaptists. Because as the time began to hammer down bridges and paths with Light for the way forward, no one wanted to be held down by some other fancy pants with schemes. There were different opinions and no one wanted to pay for one huge set of Indulgences. Today this is saying: The Scots have Clans and the States have States Rights. Why would we think we could impose on each other and instead try to compliment and improve on each other! Portland might want to invite some Unions to hire some night time rabble-rousers and give them something Robin Williams called, "OPE. Give them some Bloody OPE and ask them to have something to wish for and live for." Or let the other half of Oregon become Oh Reagan.
The Current Football Game Chanting in NYC is the message of the direction. This is the younger generation demanding the adults do some adulting. Amazing. The absolute change of this in one year's time. Youth might not be wasted upon the young.
We are more than click bait. We go where we want all of us to go. If it's not your thing, don't click it. And the Age of Information is going to have Changes. The signs the Youth are singing and carrying are inspiring those who are meant to inspire.
We should have some inspirations to allow The Body of Christ, the Light of mankind, to understand gifts and talents are diverse. Inspire to have loving communication and upbuild mankind, saying this is the Light we are given.
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,
which He bought with His own blood.
Jesus never pointed at Peter and demanded he become John. Peter did, in fact, try to walk on water and did whine about John and preferment, but Peter ended up with the Chair. John just lived impossibly long and converted a stadium in Rome to Christianity, as recorded by two secular historians. And John had people traveling to Patmos to invent words like Presbyter. Both men lived spectacular lives. Why couldn't we be this too?
The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and He healed them.
But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts,
“Hosanna to the Son of David,”
they were indignant.
16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,
“‘From the lips of children and infants
you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”
17 And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany,
where he spent the night.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.
22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
1O LORD, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
7all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
This praise bursting forth from the children, babes and infants really follows along with what Jesus said about His praise will be sung out.
Luke 19:36-40
And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,
38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
When Abraham began to be heard as a man of God, even Pharaoh listened to Abraham. And Abraham lived under the land he had paid for, but he lived in a tent under huge Oaks. Hebron, Oaks of Mamre. The misfortunes Abraham encountered, turned into Blessings - eventually.
Jacob lived to see his misfortunes become Blessings - eventually.
When David was cast out from Saul, his misfortunes turned into Blessings - eventually.
When Jonah was called to move far away into the Assyrian area of Ninevah, (until 1981 Ninevah was called Biblical Fable until the city was found with the Library and History) God was turning Israel's misfortunes into Blessings.
Hezekiah lived one of the finest lives encountered in the Bible. He frequently put aside what he was doing and listened to God. Hezekiah's misfortunes began with his father and his father's ideas of leadership. And Hezekiah, in faith, found his misfortunes were amazing Blessings. The Assyrian Army let Israel exist and prosper. Due to Jonah.
Joash let his blessings become dust. By his own choices.
Habakkuk knew difficulties.
Habakkuk 1:3
Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.
Habakkuk 3:4
His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand,
where His power was hidden.
Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
He enables me to tread on the heights.
Habakkuk 3:18
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Habakkuk 3
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
He's got the whole world in His Hands.
And God is not Worried.
Abba, Father God,
The news today was lions, tigers and bears.
Hurting our hearts and hopes.
Causing with us the resolve to do right and help righteousness.
Being bridge builders with honest words and intentions.
You have the whole of all Your Good Creation in Your Hands.
Dwell in us.
Help us to be the One You Love and Delight in.
Help us to Seek You first
and find our Loved ones have You dwelling in them.
We will finish well in Jesus Christ.
We pray for the people reading of the superpod of dolphins in
Faroe Island, where very few killers have done horribly.
We pray for Justice for Your Creation, knowing You
included animals in the Salvation of Your Covenant with Noah.
We pray for our children in the violence of big cities.
We pray for Life. Life of the innocents.
Life of mothers and fathers and grandparents.
We pray for the nutty happenings we read in the news.
We pray for Your Goodness.
When we are weak, Your Strength is our Joy.
We look for signs of the thaw
and see You are Working.
Your Word is Living and Active.
Your Steadfast Love.
We ask You to give us each Day.
Forgive us when we are wrong and set us on Your Path again.
Let more Heaven be seen on earth, Your Good Creation.
Thank You for Your Tender Mercy.
Your Promises are Faithful.
Your Word is Living.
You are Working and Jesus is working too.
Luke 1
The oath that He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days. nd you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,to give knowledge of salvation to his people
in the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God,
whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say.
The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation.
The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
