wandering and bottomless, clutching our ideals, irrespective

It requires no particular circumstance that given a choice, as in the willing yoke of chains of security, people would toss down their weapons so to grab hold of their piece of prosperity. Yet, history roundly crayons it that humankind is betimes neither particular human, and less kind. For the very wrongest of reasons do people instead clutch their own ideals and give time and treasure to the violent, totems of resolute behaviors that act irrespective of the future: not to sacrifice to better ideals, but just to grab hold of whatever glints their own imagination. In the age that heretofore has clearly needed the apostle John, they reach towards John Wick, or needing the peace of doves, they instead would opt to destroy all they hated such that only peaceful embers inhabited earth, to murder the pebble in the shoe, to hate instead of acknowledge. Variously, they could use more Keanu Reeves than any John Wick; let John Wick be a fairy tale, and Keanu our partner on the early constitutio...

"unless we allow it to..." reflections, ruminations, refractions, replications, repercussions of Galatians.

Consider each thing of itself...  ...for the days are full of evil. Man is a social animal and all things work together top to bottom in cooperation to bring us to God's appointed ends. Though temptation may abound, risking our peace and joy, our salvation doesn't rely on feelings; and days full of evil are given to us as an examples. A bright beginning does not necessarily facilitate a bright future, or a bright ending: while I trust God, I set my watch expecting Satan, with his fingerprint of subterfuge and misdirection, his chaos and usury. And days full of evil give us examples, that life is a series of what man believes to be choices(though God knows your heart). Always our common burden in our cooperation with mankind and nature is the weight of choices, along with the consequences of decisions. Obedience to God is based on faith; we trust God, while expecting Satan's wiles.  And days full of evil give us examples: forgive with great mercy as you were forgiven, if we ...

God and hope, as we have, and hope, and Jesus as the mediator, holder of our hope of reconciliation.

YOU that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled: his body of flesh presents you unblamed and unreprovable in his sight: --knitted together in love-- 'stablished, grounded and settled in mercy, peace, magnanimity, love, equanimity: inner balance. --not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which reached our ears and is proclaimed to all living creatures. Thus it is about us all to see, hear and holding, beholding, is the eternal: we see, hear, and handle the Word of Life. WE speak of Jesus, the product of the Eternal that lights the Narrow Way, to give you a lasting joy. Jesus is our advocate, our forgiveness and our connection to the Eternal. The Eternal God is light, and in him is no darkness whatsoever. In the light is Christ Jesus, waiting for our fellowship, our friendship, bearing our forgiveness. IN our need for forgiveness, we cannot lie about having sin; if we say we have no sin, we deceive even our own selves, and th...

The Christmas Michtam; God have you been so good.

 The near edge of Christmas: I can smell it, like the elephant in repose smells the dust of the earth, like the snake when coiled in repose smells his own anus and genitals. The fringes of the Risen Savior, the Cloud of Unknowing, the interconnected fingers of human animalism and transcendence; if we claim not to have seen, then it has only been carried within us, and if we claim to have seen, then we lacked for it within ourselves and were thus refreshed. My Lord, My God, as have you seemed afar, but how you within my precepts have compassed the waters.

"A day is a recognition of the light." The Light of the World as a Christmas Tree daisychain.

"Whilst I am in the world, I am the Light of the World." -The Jesus. He bid us not to hide our light, as we are a city on the hill, not to hide our light under a bushel: for we are, along with the paracleton, the Light of the World. It is such that in our own darkness, we are dependent upon the light of our fellows, that in moments of darkness, the believer needs the light of others to provide his illumination for his own path. I was seeing one projecting their darkness, at their every word, that preamble of "these are my past wrongs", and the rejoinder, "but not anymore". "No longer am I a sinner, and I hope my joy is returned unto me." Speaking from lack, despair, of a future, and continually manifesting, in saying same over and over, seemingly contemned to never take up the phrase: "it happens today". The wrought soul-stirring humility of wearing one's past is admirable, humble, honest, but how much is designed to keep one under ...

The wheat and the chaff.

I speak these things to you through a glut of faith, knowing full well having received the grace of God in ways without measure. Faith assures of one thing:  not in regards the drinking of alcohol, or the marrying of one woman, or tossing teacups or petticoats in pews or planting George Washingtons like apple seeds. Faith assures us that an implacable, indifferent universe which part and parcel of the Lord our God is good. 100%. In doubt, the absence of God, we are, in fact, in a theological version of hell, that which is enunciated so graciously in textbook language to reflect a great myriad of troubles. A world of troubles, but a world imbued with a some small piece of faith that propels one over and above such unmerciful. We have all, indeed, received mercy, just as all have sinned(Romans 3:23): and not merely that the just have received mercy, or the faithful have received mercy, but included are those which exist in the impolite corners of the inner regions of hell, including ...

faith, teachings of the natural world, look here haters, a visage marred; nations sprinkled

"Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than Godly edifying which is in faith."   Our Lord uses the world to teach us, and in the world, our teachings, our textbooks and classroom that we too take up, each day. "Display me as a token for the good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed, because thou hast helped me and comforted me, O Lord." Psalm 86 "...his visage was more marred than any man,  and his form more than the sons of men; so shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider." -Isaiah 52
