the tomb is what counts

Just checking in.  When we are move I am certain that we will find a place where God can use us, like never  before.  Praise be to the Jesus of the empty tomb.   Not only the cross but the empty tomb. Jesus is victorious and we are too.  We must do our part or get left in the dust. 

Praying about sin, and the sinner . . . .

  English Standard Version translates I John 5:16 as: 16  If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death.  There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that.  Concerning the last clause in I John 5:16, the ending clause. περὶ  ἐκείνης  = he, she, it, or that οὐ  περὶ  ἐκείνης  λέγω  ἵνα  ἐρωτήσῃ  word order is complicated in this clause (as is such with Koine Greek), but I see it this way, John is referring to the particular sin (ἐκείνης “that”) When one implores of God, it is for God to be rid of it i.e. “that.“ For that matter the “ἵνα” has the meaning “that,”as well.  Therefore John is saying do not pray for “the sin which leads to death.”  Sins that lead to death are abortion, genocide, murder, etc . . . need not be prayed for, for those who commit such sins are t...

Meaning-makers . . . not

Furman and others says that “Concepts embedded into current practice wisdom become essential notions related to the human condition and focus practice interventions on resolving various social and psychosocial problems”   Furman adds, “As the profession strives to contend with rapid transformations of the social order brought about by . . . (factors like) complex problems of post-modernity, new concepts are needed to focus the profession on its core values and aims”   The concept that Furman takes into consideration is “meaning” and elaborates on its usefulness. Furman also states that, somewhat insightfully is the existential problem is about meaning, which is pretty obvious to anyone who knows anything about anything. Of course, Furman indicates that humans construct meaning and how special, to be able to do such a thing.   The problem  is, constructing meaning is difficult in a world without meaning and individuals who lack meaning or even the possibility of con...

God and the USA

 II Timothy 1:7ff For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.   Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with  me  in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God.   If we are not suffering due to our testimony as Christians, maybe we need to investigate why.  When the actual persecution of TRUE CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS comes, we must stand for our God, Jesus Christ, God's word, and in the spirit, and for our country, as the Left tries to destroy us and the USA. We will suffer for the Gospel and our country (our "nation," which is a word progressives are aiming to demolish and "deconstruct"). Please see former posts on how "nation" is the designation for where people in America is being destroyed and "deconstructed" The so-called iterations of political bondage and lack of freedom of certain people have been perpetuated. We must stand against the M...

WARNINGS

  Final Warnings in II Corinthians  13  This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.   2   I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them—   3  since you seek proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.   4  For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God. 5  Examine yourselves , to see whether you are in the faith . Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!   6  I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test. ...
