If Jesus came to do a job, then the job had not been properly done before.
The Old Covenant & Old Testament are testimonies of who God really is, but they're "through a glass darkly" at the very best.
Jesus is the best picture of God the Father that we'll get.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses..." (Heb 12:1)

Currently, right this minute, you are surrounded, enclosed by a crowd of not-quite-visible saints, witnesses.

I find myself asking, "What are they witnessing when they're surrounding me?"

[Al Mack @NWProphetic]

Turn about is fair play, right?

Learning a new word: Aseity.
It's an attribute of God.
God is the Unmade Maker, the Unchanged Changer.

I guess it's appropriate to pull some theological weeds sometimes, isn't it?

[Al Mack @NWProphetic]

I guess that is a command, isn't it?

"ASK me!"
"Ask me these things, specifically."

"This is what the LORD says--the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?" [Isaiah 45:11]

"What you forbid, you empower."

If the answer is "Because it's wrong," then you've given power to the sin.

(Hint: That's not actually our goal. . . . )

The solution might actually be about relationship. Imagine that.

It seems in light of the news breaking (mostly behind the scenes) that this is proving to be really solid advice.

This makes me sad. But I realize that there's no real & objective reason that we should innately trust "those in power" or "those who make money from me," is there?

Keep the good.
But prefer & protect the best.

• Servants don't take initiative; they only follow the instructions of the master.

• Sons & daughters, as they mature, look at the bigger picture, make plans and take action because they know the Father's heart.

When someone is discouraged, they don't need rebuke. Or teaching. Or a rescue. Or comfort. Those are fine at the right time, but this is not that time.

They're dis-couraged. What they need is courage.

"Logic. Why don't they teach logic in these schools?"
Some questions are worth asking.

You might find that you attract problems
Because you are a solution in human form.

Our worship brings Heaven to earth,
announcing His presence with every breath we take.

Worship is an act of (effective) war.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.

Radical thought: Christian pop music NOT the only music that's acceptable. Some believers like barbershop quartets! Others touch God in metal music or Dixieland or Baroque or EDM.
I even know of a church that worshiped with (gasp!) country music! They line dance in church! What?!
