DESTITUTE, AFFLICTED, & TORMENTED: And The World Is Not Worthy of You
"The disciple is not above is master (teacher) : but every one that is perfect (blameless, whole in Christ) shall be as his master." Luke 6:40 The toughest question to answer concerning the Kingdom of God and those who live for it and more importantly those who have died for it is why do so many that follow Christ …

IN THE PIERCINGS
John 19:1-2: "Then Pilate therefore took Jesus,and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put upon him a purple robe, And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and the smote (hit) him with their hands." The wickedness that Jesus suffered was unimaginable, as he had told …
Carried By the Shepherd
Mark 6:34: " And Jesus, when he came out, saw much (many) people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things." Which exactly why the Good Shepherd came. He left the doubtlessly indescribable beauty of heaven and all those created that love, adore, and constantly worship around …
PRAISES OF MIDNIGHT

UNAWARE: ANGELS & STRANGERS
"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace …

Walking The Path: NEVER SO LOST
"Then drew (came) near unto him all the publicans (tax collectors) and sinners to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth (welcomes) sinners and eateth with them.

TO SHUN THE SON
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that HAVE NOT SEEN, AND YET HAVE BELIEVED." JOHN 20:29 Faith. Faith is a funny thing and sometimes we can have faith to move a mountain and then sometimes our faith errs more on the side of the mountain …
DIVINE DESIGN: Fearfully, Wonderfully, & Strategically
"For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we …

“Iron Mask”
"O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get the up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid: say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God! Behold the Lord God will come with strong hand (strength), and his arm shall rule for him: behold his …
SOVEREIGN: HE WAS I AM BEFORE THERE WAS BEFORE
"Yea, BEFORE the day was I AM HE ; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work and who shall let (reverse) it?" Isaiah 43:13 One of my favorite statements by the Lord. This is one of those double-edged sword statements because to be on the wrong side of …

Now I Lay Me Down
Very familiar children's prayer there, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, and If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen" Classic, many versions of it but still the same meaning. Even as children we are often painfully aware …

“GO FOR THE GOLD BUT PLEASE, HOLD THE JADE”
Ah, Jaded. What a lovely word, normally a beautiful stone used to adorn beautiful things. but in the right context, not quite so lovely on us. We are to press toward the mark, to earn the crown of righteousness to one day lay at the Master's feet, beautiful I am sure, pure gold just like His …

OF MADMEN, MARTYRS, AND MAIDS/ PART 2
Most all have a Bible; one we often take for granted. Humor me for a moment, if you will, close your eyes and picture a man tied to a stake surrounded by fodder and as a crowd looks on, now imagine him being strangled and set on fire, his last words spoken on this earth …
REST IN THE RECKONING
I can't seem to get the image of James Foley out of my head, and it's not just him... it is all of them. Abducted, unmercifully tortured, and paraded off to be savagely executed by demonic, twisted sadistic butchers to gain media attention for their truly hopeless cause. Hiding their faces behind their masks of …
