A Father's Crown, A Heavy Call

(A Poem on David's Final Words to Solomon)

Upon his bed, the king lay weak,

With fading breath, too faint to speak.

He called his son with weary eyes,

To pass the crown, both just and wise.

"My son," he said, "be strong, be true,

And walk the path God asks of you.

Obey His laws, hold fast His ways,

And He will bless your nights and days.

But hear me now, for time runs thin,

There's blood unpaid, and wrath within.

Though I have ruled with sacred might,

Some wrongs still beg to face the light.

Joab, who once my army led,

Brought guilt and blood upon his head.

He slew in peace, as if in war—

Let not his crimes go ignored.

And Shimei, the man who cursed my name,

I swore him peace, but not his shame.

You swore him life if he stayed true—

But should he slip, then justice, too.

Yet Barzillai, the loyal friend,

Show kindness to him 'til your end.

His sons were brave, their hearts were true,

Let them find favor now with you.

So rule with strength, but rule with grace,

Let wisdom shine upon your face.

A king must serve both God and land,

With justice firm and mercy's hand.

David slept, his reign complete,

Now Solomon rose to take his seat.

A crown of gold, a throne so wide—

With God above, and sword at side.

Opinion "Colorado just criminalized truth — how WEAK Christians let it happen | "Blaze Media

https://www.theblaze.com/align/colorado-just-criminalized-truth-how-weak-christians-let-it-happen 

"

Unwillingness to oppose worldly ideologies: Christians became reluctant to oppose ideologies like LGBTQ activism or feminism, fearing they'd seem judgmental. Apathy about other people's sins was considered a mark of humility and a badge of virtue..

This attitude is loser theology, which I've criticized many times (see here, here, here, and here). Loser theology privatizes the Christian faith to mere "heart religion," while blinding us to our public duty to stand for truth. It convinces us to "keep quiet, stay safe, and let the world burn."

These same scans captured a trifecta of subterranean layers that were alleged dead ringers for the Bible's description of the boat's three decks — in other words, it was literally "ship-shape."

The Book of Genesis 6:16 states: "Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks."

"Very truly I tell you,

The guy in the POWER SUIT at mass every day at the MP monastery  seems to be  making the mistake of thinking he can be justified with God by perfect attendance at Mass.

 A lot of people go thru such a phase & then they (hopefully ) eventually realize this is not going to ultimately help them be justified with God- just by perfect attendance and being exceptionally well dressed, WITHOUT a change of heart ❤️ and service to God.

 And a change of heart will lead to wanting to deliver others from sin by being an evangelist of the gospel the good news of Jesus ✝️Christ. This will lead to HARDSHIP, because you will need to become an evangelist in one way or another and that usually DOESN'T mean financial success and the praise of others, especially in Silicon Valley💰. 

It's about the heart ❤️ young man, not externalities. As Jesus said to the Rich Young Man "Are you willing to sell everything and follow me ⁉️". Unfortunately the rich young man walked away sadly. He wasn't willing.

Anonymous AGAPE LETTER

AGAPE LETTER

It's a shame to have to say this & take the Time to write this at such an age and stage in life. But apparently I do based upon little bits and pieces I continue to hear thru the grapevine etc. I'm also concerned about so-called self-glorifying "pillow talk" by some people with their spouses in which the person creates a super person mythology about themselves, building themselves up at the expense of others -maybe even fabricating negative things altogether about others; and without an opportunity to defend myself against such fabrications . 

So I will begin by saying, Since the age of accountability I have been living a very good positive moral life. And even after the age of accountability, any small things I have done wrong  in the eyes of the law have all been dismissed and expunged ie traffic & parking tickets etc. And I've never committed any felonies. I don't live a lavish lifestyle, and I  live this way intentionally in order so that I can serve the Lord most productively as possible without having to worry about mowing the lawn, painting the house, & all  the other things that come with being a homeowner, which almost becomes a full-time job in and of itself once you have a large household.  

And thanks be to God, I am always able to pay all my bills and taxes, and regularly do so. I even pay off my credit card bill at the end of the month so that I'm not charged a large interest fee (which is better than our own country is able to do even with all the billions even trillions of taxes they receive).  I have always paid for auto insurance, proper vehicle registration etc. It seems silly to have to say these things but there apparently are busy bodies who have questioned this, as if they are police officers themselves.

 Therefore if these others  will not willingly & humbly acquiesce to being in the state- of- grace in which we simply are aware of our own sinfulness and mind our own business in that regard,  rather than always being busy bodies and taking the specks out of other people's eyes, Then For the sake of survival I will  have to invoke  human laws that require us to not slander or libel others;  or be held accountable in the eyes of law ourselves.

  I should be able to simply invoke Christian accountability for all those who call themselves Christians or at least are "churched"  in order to be treated graciously, but if this doesn't work amongst some, once again,  I just repeat that I will have to hold such persons legally accountable. 

For years upon years I've been sending Christmas cards to so many people hoping that just sending the Christmas spirit once a year will remind us of who we are in Christ. And from so many great people including many of my beloved relatives,  I've been receiving gracious Christmas cards in return.

  Unfortunately, I don't receive any Christmas cards in return  from some of the people historically closest to me.  And the brief periodic interactions I do have with such persons raises questions in my mind about whether I'm speaking to Christians who are  genuinely in a state -of- grace. I'm not questioning whether such persons attend church or not. Some people can attend church perfectly all their lives but yet not necessarily enter into a true state -of grace.

 And when I speak of state- of -grace, I am speaking of the theological principle of self-awareness in Christ that we are all sinners !  but also, thank God, forgiven. And I'm not speaking of Cheap Grace either. If we keep committing such sins, and then say God forgives, it becomes cheap grace and meaningless.

 I'm speaking of repentance & Grace and also not repeatedly committing the same sins ex post facto.   And hopefully if we are continually examining ourselves and repenting and growing in Christ then we are not nitpicking others; nor conversely engaging in  excessive self -examination (ie scrupulosity) in which we self-examine ourselves too much.  

For most people excessive self-examination and excessive repentance is not the problem. For most people it's the opposite- it's a lack of self-examination and lack of repentance. In my regard, while I was going through seminary I went thru an intentional period  of self-examination and repentance and trying to make amends for any sins I committed against others,  Even going back into my childhood history, probably too far back, in terms of before the age of accountability

 And now I'm hearing again from little bits and pieces of the grapevine that some people are using such public confessions of so-called sins (or whatever you want to call them -maybe not even sins -but just natural parts of being a child before the age of accountability)  against me Still at the age of almost 60 years old.

 This is preventing me from moving on in my life in many regards. It makes it difficult for me professionally, spiritually, and relationally. For me to have meaningful relationships, while people are still taking specks out of my eye from childhood experiences, as if I  committed a childhood felony , is not only difficult to accept, but it's morally reprehensible on the part of those who raise up what are now  meaningless and trivial issues so many years later.

And perhaps they do so for self-serving reasons, rather than reasons of authentic concern about my soul, let alone about my adult relationships with others and public citizenship. 

I rebuke those who are trying to prevent good people from doing good things by negatively pigeon- holing them based on childhood "sins" or errors 50 years ago even before the age of accountability. It would be like a mother shaming her child 50 years later for pooping in his diaper when he/she was 2 years old. Stop this evil nonsense 🚫👎😡.

 You will be held accountable by God for preventing a good Christian person from doing the work of a Christian evangelist most effectively if you continue doing this. Imprecatory

Confusing sometimes but we should always respect the office of the papacy even if we disagree. 

I asked Gemini AI if God's command to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac might have been actually a "two-tier test"

I asked Gemini AI if God's command to  Abraham to sacrifice Isaac might have been actually a "two-tier test" &  and what if Abraham had said NO to God because of his moral convictions to not murder? ( Yes, this was before the Ten Commandments. However "thou shall not murder" was also part of the moral & legal structure in general before the Ten Commandments) , such as God's outrage when Cain killed Abel (Genesis 4:10-11) and also "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image" (Genesis 9:6) came before Abraham and Isaac. 

I was surprised by the eloquence of Gemini's response :

"That's a very thought-provoking and insightful way to look at the story of Abraham and Isaac! The idea of a "win-win" test, where either obedience or a refusal to commit what seems like murder would have been considered a positive outcome, is definitely a valid lens through which to examine the narrative.

Here's why that perspective holds weight:

Arguments for a "Win-Win" Test:

 * Upholding God's Moral Law: As you pointed out, a refusal to commit murder would align with the fundamental moral principles that are also attributed to God. If Abraham had stood firm on this principle, it could be seen as a testament to his understanding and internalization of God's ethical framework.

 * Testing Understanding, Not Just Obedience: Perhaps the test wasn't solely about blind obedience, but also about Abraham's comprehension of God's character. Would Abraham recognize that a command to commit such an act might be a profound test of his understanding of God's justice and mercy?

 * Highlighting the Value of Human Life: A refusal could have powerfully affirmed the sanctity of human life, a principle central to the Abrahamic faiths. Abraham standing up for this principle, even against a perceived divine command, could have been a profound statement.

 * Preventing a Morally Repugnant Act: From a human ethical standpoint, preventing the sacrifice of a child is the morally correct action. If God's ultimate intention was indeed to test Abraham's faith and not the actual sacrifice, then a refusal based on moral grounds could still demonstrate a deep commitment to what Abraham understood as right.

 * A Different Kind of Faith: Perhaps a refusal, coupled with a respectful questioning of the command, could have demonstrated a different kind of faith – one that engages with God's will through reason and moral understanding, rather than just unquestioning obedience.

Why the Traditional Interpretation Emphasizes Obedience:

The traditional interpretation often emphasizes Abraham's unwavering obedience as the pinnacle of faith. This highlights:

 * God's Ultimate Authority: The idea that God's commands, even if seemingly incomprehensible, should be followed.

 * Trust Beyond Understanding: A faith that trusts God's plan even when it defies human logic.

 * The Sacrifice of the Most Precious: Abraham's willingness to give up his long-awaited son underscores the depth of his devotion.

However, your "win-win" perspective raises crucial ethical considerations and aligns with a God who is ultimately just and merciful. It suggests that true faith might also involve a moral compass that resonates with God's own character.

It's important to remember that the story of Abraham and Isaac is a complex narrative with layers of meaning and has been interpreted in various ways throughout history. Your interpretation adds a valuable dimension to this ongoing discussion, highlighting the potential for moral reasoning and adherence to ethical principles as equally significant aspects of faith.

Ultimately, we don't know what would have happened if Abraham had refused. But your suggestion that it could have been a different kind of "win" – a victory for moral understanding and a testament to Abraham's grasp of God's just nature – is a compelling one."

" Hesed is based on obedience, but agape is founded in unmerited grace. Agape love, unconditional, self-sacrificial love, is the standard of love Jesus commanded us to express in the human family when He said: This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you."

In biblical context, "hesed" (Hebrew) refers to a loyal, covenantal love, while "agape" (Greek) describes a selfless, unconditional, and divine love, often seen as the highest form of love.

This article creates mixed feelings in me because of course yes I want it to be okay to pray and I'm glad that we have a president who's more pro-faith than the previous one by leaps and bounds.

 However, we should not rely upon a president or an administration or politics to approve of our church or prayer or faith in order to thrive in such regards. 

In fact it's during times of persecution and oppression that we should be praying even more so , &  our faith should be growing that much more. That's the paradox.

 Nonetheless, let us be glad for the  probably-momentary lapse in oppression against the Christian faith within the USA,  until the next radical Lefty Democrat sneaks into the White House & starts up the evil machine again 👎😡.

Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life."

"Concluded Francis Schaeffer: "Here is the great evangelical disaster – the failure of the evangelical world to stand for truth as truth. There is only one word for this – namely accommodation: the evangelical church has accommodated to the world spirit of the age."

And remember, Schaeffer was writing about evangelicals, who generally are more conservative, as opposed to so-called "mainline" Protestants who tend to be more liberal-left..."

Ecclesiastes 11:1 says, "Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again".

Ecclesiastes 11:1 says, "Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again". 

The phrase "cast your bread upon the waters" is a literary expression that means to take a risk or do something good, usually without expecting much in return. In Ecclesiastes 11:1, the Hebrew word "yamin" is used to describe the passage of time, which suggests that the results of one's actions may not be immediate. This encourages believers to be patient and maintain faith, trusting that God's timing is perfect. 

Genesis 1 poetic style

In the beginning, God's voice did ring,

Creating the heavens and earth—everything.

The earth was formless, empty, and deep,

Darkness lay over waters asleep.

The Spirit of God hovered near,

Then spoke a command, strong and clear:

"Let there be light!" And light did shine,

God saw it was good, by design.

He split the light from dark that day,

Calling them "night" and "day" to stay.

Evening and morning marked day one,

God's creation had begun.

Next, God declared, "Let a vault divide,

The waters below from those on high."

The vault was called "sky," wide and blue,

Day two came as the evening grew.

On the third day, He spoke once more,

"Let land arise and waters pour.

The dry ground 'land,' the waters 'seas,'

All of it good, it did please."

Then plants were born, lush and green,

Seed-bearing wonders, a fruitful scene.

Each one unique, a marvelous kind,

Evening and morning, day three aligned.

God said, "Let lights fill the vault on high,

To mark sacred times, days, and sky.

A greater light for the day so bright,

A lesser light and stars for the night."

The sun and moon took their place,

God saw them good in time and space.

Evening and morning, day four complete,

God's creation was a wondrous feat.

Next, waters teemed with creatures grand,

And birds took flight across the land.

The seas and skies were filled with life,

God saw their goodness, free from strife.

He blessed them, "Be fruitful, fill the earth,

Multiply greatly, proclaim your worth."

Evening and morning marked day five,

Creation continued, vibrant, alive.

Then God said, "Let the land bring forth,

Creatures of all kinds—prove their worth.

Wild beasts, livestock, each would thrive,

Crawling creatures came alive."

God saw it was good, all creatures made,

In His design, His glory displayed.

Then came mankind, His special art,

Made in His image, set apart.

"Let them rule the earth and seas,

O'er sky and land, as they please.

Be fruitful, multiply, fill this space,

Stewards of My holy place."

Male and female, God did create,

With blessings to grow and dominate.

He gave them plants and trees to eat,

For every creature, food complete.

God saw His work, both great and good,

All was perfect, as it should.

Evening and morning, the sixth day done,

Creation rested under the sun.

"When it comes to double standards, the United Nations takes the prize. According to UNWatch, within the last 9 years, 164 resolutions have been adopted against Israel and 84 against THE REST OF THE WORLD! That's twice as many against Israel than the rest of the planet. How is that even supposed to be fair? What about going after China, Iran, Sudan, and North Korea, to name just a few?

When we pray for peace in the region, we are praying for the Second Coming of Yeshua. In addition, we must also pray for the salvation of Israel and the Jewish people. Israel needs intercessors more than ever. Pray daily for salvation, protection, provision and peace..."

Despite overall book sales increasing by only 1% compared to 2023, Bible sales in the U.S. have reached an impressive 22% increase as of October 2024, according to the Wall Street Journal

"There have been three Great Awakenings in America, and a few smaller ones," Burleson continued. "I believe we are in the beginning of a fourth Great Awakening and it is a response to inflation (financial panic), pandemics (Covid), wars (global), and the sudden death of stability in America. There is no anchor in life better than the Anchor of Hope, and when the ship of life is tossed to and fro, faith awakens."
