In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. Psalm 56 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou mostContinue reading “Psalm 56: In God We Trust”

Pray to the Father in Secret
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and whenContinue reading “Pray to the Father in Secret”
These Things Saith He – Smyrna Overview
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogueContinue reading “These Things Saith He – Smyrna Overview”
FIVE UNPOPULAR TEACHINGS OF JESUS — Beloved Creative Studio
God purposed us to be His. He loves you! Nothing terribly unpopular here (everyone likes to be loved), but for everyone who has believed in Jesus for their justification before God, by the blood of Christ, He desires you to now be set apart. This is where the rubber meets the road. You are His… FIVEContinue reading “FIVE UNPOPULAR TEACHINGS OF JESUS — Beloved Creative Studio”
Jesus Hears the Cries Muffled by all the “Boys Who Cried, Wolf” — A Letter to all Overlooked true Victims of the World.
There is a strange phenomena that seems to be happening today. It is true that for many, especially among the political left, victimhood has become a sort of “social currency” that is used to gain leverage and power over others. There is also an onslaught of fake claims of victimhood, oppression, racism, bigotry, chauvinism, andContinue reading “Jesus Hears the Cries Muffled by all the “Boys Who Cried, Wolf” — A Letter to all Overlooked true Victims of the World.”
Considering Proverbs 11:13
A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. Several ideas come to mind for me when I read this proverb. The first is perhaps the most obvious. When someone entrusts a person with confidential information, a faithful person will keep the information hidden while an unfaithful person willContinue reading “Considering Proverbs 11:13”
Do Not Sound a Trumpet Before You (Virtue Signal)
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may haveContinue reading “Do Not Sound a Trumpet Before You (Virtue Signal)”
Sometimes it is Love to Subdue Your Enemies
My two oldest sons have been enrolled in a Judo school for a few months now. I appreciate the discipline they are learning and I don’t have any problem with my boys learning how to defend themselves or others. On the other hand, I work hard to teach them to control themselves and they knowContinue reading “Sometimes it is Love to Subdue Your Enemies”
These Things Saith He – Scriptures for Ephesus
“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” All things should be done out of love towards Jesus and our fellow man. It does not matter how right we are factually; if our heart or spirit is not right, then the good that we might do is corrupted andContinue reading “These Things Saith He – Scriptures for Ephesus”
The Narcissistic Abuse Cycle from a Christian Perspective
Idealize. Devalue. Discard. Over and over. It is quite dizzying and crazy-making behavior, as anyone who has been through this will understand. First, they seem to adore you. They excitedly talk about the things you will experience together one day or grand plans they have to do some good for you in the future. Next,Continue reading “The Narcissistic Abuse Cycle from a Christian Perspective”
