Ask Jesus to restore your appetite for life. Your dreams. Your drive. Your imagination. Your confidence. Your hope for the future. Sometimes you don't need a completely new life. You need to learn to practice Godliness with contentment, being ok with the parts of yourself and YOUR walk with Christ.
Every atheist I've debated eventually lands here: if God is real, why can't we see him? I used to fumble this. Then I read 1 Timothy 1:17.
Paul is mid-argument about grace and his own conversion when he breaks suddenly into praise:
"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever."
"Eternal," "immortal," and "the only God" make sense as praise. But invisible? We don't praise men for being unseen. Why does Paul list it as something as glorious as the majesty and immortality of God?
Unless invisibility is not a limitation. Unless it is out of gracious design.
Paul met the unmediated light of Christ on the road to Damascus, he was knocked into the dirt, and blind for three days. He knows what the alternative to invisible feels like. It produced collapse, not worship. His praise is a survivor's testimony.
When people ask for God to be visible, they don't understand what full divine visibility would actually require.
God is omnipresent in essence. Therefore, total divine visibility fundamentally requires omnipresent visibility.
If God reveals Himself to the fullest extent of His capacity, He must be visible everywhere, at all times.
In the room you closed the door to. In the moment you spent your life believing nobody was watching. A visible, omnipresent God is not majestic; He is psychologically catastrophic. Nobody wants this, not even the devout.
Look at Isaiah 6. The prophet sees merely the hem of God's garment filling the temple, not the full glory of God, just the overflow. His response? "Woe to me, I am undone." A partial glimpse unmade him completely.
God isn't after bland empirical agreement. James already ended that: the demons believe, and tremble.
Intellectual assent is a bar the devil clears daily.
God isn't running a census of the convinced; He is seeking genuine love. And genuine love requires genuine choice, which requires that the object of love not be overwhelming.
This is why women despise love bombing. A man who floods your psychological space until refusal becomes impossible isn't loving you, he is eliminating the conditions for love. The "yes" he extracts is engineered by exhaustion.
God does the exact opposite. He veils His glory precisely so that you retain the dignity of saying no. The love bomber makes himself so large that you have no choice. God makes Himself small enough that you do.
Which brings us directly to the Incarnation.
The Incarnation is God making Himself visible enough to be known, but small enough to be rejected without fuss.
It is the most precise solution to the most precise problem: God doesn't arrive as a sky-filling terror, but as a baby in a manger in a backwater town. You can walk past a carpenter from Nazareth. You cannot walk past the throne of Isaiah 6.
The Bible is already clear that every knee will bow, a day of compelled reality as certain as the sun. But God is not eager for a forced crowd. Right now, He is seeking the single, freely given return of a heart in love.
When an atheist asks why he cannot see God, he is asking a better question than he knows. The answer is not absence. The answer is restraint.
Now one can finally understand why Paul says INVISIBLE, and means it as highest acclaim. It is not a limitation, it is a mercy.
Trying to get a permit with the @scottsdaleazgov for over 3 years. Literally been destroying my life over a very simple permit for a tiny bbq area in my backyard. If only I wanted to build a data center.
In case something does happen to me, there’s only one thing the world needs to know.
The United States has teleportation technology.
It seems impossible but it’s true.
YOU WERE NEVER WARNED ABOUT THIS BEFORE BOARDING YOUR FLIGHT
A retired airline captain named John Hoyte @JohnHoytePilot reached out to me recently. He flew commercially for nearly 30 years. He developed serious neurological damage mid-career. Lost his career. Then spent the next 20 years trying to warn the public about what happened to him.
What he shared with me should concern every single person who has ever sat on a plane.
Did you know the air inside most commercial aircraft does not come from outside?
It is compressed directly from the jet engines and pumped straight into the cabin. That is the air you and your family breathe for the entire flight.
When engine seals wear down, oil and hydraulic fluid leak into that air supply. Those fluids contain organophosphates. The same compounds found in nerve agents and certain pesticides. You inhale them without knowing. Without any warning.
In 2007, 27 pilots, cabin crew, passengers, doctors and scientists gave evidence to @UKParliament on this. On the record. Calling for urgent action.
Nothing changed.
@BBCPanorama covered it in 2008. A UK coroner recorded a death linked to contaminated cabin air in 2015. Twenty passengers on a single flight in 2007 were seriously injured. Their cases went to court. They won.
France has formally recognised aerotoxic syndrome as an occupational disease. America's largest personal injury firm is now taking mass cases. A US law professor is suing Boeing for $40 million after a single exposure left him permanently injured.
Almost every commercial jet except the Boeing 787 Dreamliner uses this system. The 787 was designed differently. A safer option always existed. The rest of the industry chose not to use it.
John founded the Aerotoxic Association in 2007 at the Houses of Parliament. He is 70 years old. He has been fighting this for two decades. Over 2,500 people have contacted him believing they were harmed.
He is still looking for a mainstream journalist willing to investigate this properly. That alone tells you everything about how buried this story has been.
Have you ever stepped off a flight feeling exhausted, foggy, or just not right and assumed it was the journey? That might not be the whole story.
Share this. The only reason this has stayed hidden for 70 years is that not enough people know about it.
Captain John Hoyte is available to answer every question directly. Contact him at [email protected]

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
🚨‼️This chart lays out one of the most misunderstood doctrines in the Bible: man is not merely a body, and death is not the end. According to the King James Bible, man is body, soul, and spirit. The body returns to dust, the spirit returns to God who gave it, and the soul remains conscious in its appointed place. That clears up confusion about soul sleep, hell, paradise, resurrection, and what really happens when a person dies.
The believer has hope because Jesus Christ changed everything. Before the resurrection, the righteous dead were comforted in Abraham’s bosom, but after Christ rose and ascended, paradise is now above, and the saved are “absent from the body” and “present with the Lord.” The lost, however, still face conscious torment and final judgment. This is not a side doctrine. This is eternity, and the Bible is clear when men stop trying to explain it away.
