Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~


The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding, general lukewarmness and outright apostasy among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Stuff ‘n Status Protection (Poem)


Locks, keys, alarms, passwords, smoke detectors, vaults,
Insurance, strong boxes -- intrusions to halt -- 
A few of the ways we protect things important. 
Protecting our stuff, we must not be imprudent.

To aid our quest, we employ technology,
And now seek to do it bio-metrically. 
There’s no stone left unturned to protect all of our stuff,
‘Cause when intruders get in, things vanish ...in a puff! 

But look carefully across landscapes of our lives.
You’ll see places where intruders don’t have to strive.
Places we have practically left wide open.
No doubt they have been violated. That’s certain!

In these places, most intruders are known, some are not.
Our lives unveil the damage these intruders have wrought.
Yet we refuse on these places to put good protections,
Nothing close to those for computer virus contagion. 

Perhaps it’s because to these places we are all blind,
And because intruders don’t take, but leave stuff behind.
The stuff they leave is, at first glance, inconspicuous.
Thus, we tend to overlook its insidiousness.

Are you wondering what are these places of which I speak?
Which intruders, what stuff? Is your curiosity piqued? 
Quite simply, the places are your mind, gateway to your heart.
The stuff is ‘seeds of thought’ whose fruit may be your ‘future’s chart’.

Intruders are those whose words and ways corrupt good values,
Anyone or thing that seeks your good morals to abuse.
Without warning bells that sound the INTRUDER ALERT,
Their brash or stealthy intrusions you will not avert.

Then all of the junk they will have dumped and left behind,
Will infect your life, as to their fruits, you’ll be inclined.
Unless you’re perceptive, you may never realize,
Just how much of your thoughts, words and ways they catalyze!

So learn to guard and protect the gateway to your heart,
One day your heart will thank your mind for doing its part.1 
That which you allow your mind lengthily to dwell upon,
Will in your heart spread roots, from which fruits will one day be drawn.

To help with this task, God gave us a 6-point checklist:
On things true, noble, just, pure, lovely & gooddwell, persist.2
We work all our lives on ‘right stuff and status’ collection.
Now let’s not omit God’s ‘right stuff and status’ protection!
----------
1 My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. 
(Proverbs 4:20-23)
2 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8)

Imagine Doing This (poem)

Quick, quick...

Honestly, to which do you rejoice mostly -- receiving something tangible of considerable value, or God’s Word and testimonies of His ways?? Our carnal minds naturally gravitate to the former, leaving the latter in the ...distant dust!

May we all commit to cultivating the root of God’s Word in our lives, till it produces in us the sweet and pleasing fruit of ‘right-minded rejoicing’. Then and only then will the unsaved world sit up, stand up, and take notice of God’s great power at work among His own. 

I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
as much as in all riches.
(Psalm 119:14)

Imagine yourself doing this.
Then practice until it’s sheer bliss.
As you do, be attentively mindful,
Of how God responds, as you are faithful.
