“For your gods are as many as your cities, O Judah; and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal.” Jeremiah 11:13

That world to the internet and AI is a world created by man and now worshiped by man. Just as Baal and other pagan gods were the creation of men’s hands.

By the sweat of your face You shall eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:19 

We view that as a punishment, but it is also a blessing. Few things provide the genuine satisfaction of a job well done. Working the land, working with animals, using your hands to provide food and security for your family offers a true, real sense of satisfaction. The closer you are to God’s creations, the closer you are to God.

How much does it cost to protect the lives of innocent children? Why is it when the subject of school security comes up that the first place people will go is money? The book “Knights of St. NIcholas: Protector of Children” is out and available.

"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”  Matt 6:24

“He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. ~John 5:35

Christ was speaking of John the Baptist in this verse. However, it made me think about us and our temporary journey here on this earth. Will it be said of us when we depart that others were able to “rejoice for a while” in the light we provided? 

Are we acting as a light to our family and our friends? Or do we bring darkness into the lives of others?  We have a choice to make everyday. Have you ever had a friend who never has anything good to say or to report?  

We all go through ups and downs. Christ himself felt sadness and disappointment. Jesus wept at the news of his friend Lazarus’s death. Christ was disappointed that his disciples could not even stay awake to watch with him on the night of his betrayal. He was betrayed by a friend, Judas. Despite this, Christ provided us with encouragement and hope. Jesus had compassion and showed love. He was the light of the world.

Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.”  John 8:12

Christ was our perfect example. Will we follow that example and be a light to those around us?

The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and putting Jesus to the test, they asked Him to show them a [a]sign from heaven. 2But He replied to them, “[b]When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to discern the [c]appearance of the sky, but are you unable to discern the signs of the times? 4An evil and adulterous generation wants a [d]sign; and so a [e]sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.  Matt: 16: 1-4

Wait for the LORD; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. Psalm 27:14

Can music give us strength?  Does heavy metal lead to devil worship?

Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one

The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate

Or will you still jeer at all you hear, yes I think it's too late

Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor; 10 for if [b]either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not [c]another to lift him up! 11Furthermore, if two lie down together they [d]keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if [e]one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him.

Our world is designed to separate us, to make us live as individuals or loners. We witnessed the ridiculous nonsense of the forced separation and the insultingly stupid “alone together” mental conditioning.

We must deliberately fight against this desire to be alone and the selfishness of focusing on only ourselves.

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom. Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take extra oil with them; But the prudent ones took oil in flasks with their lamps. ~Matt: 25:1-4

Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and began to sleep. But at midnight there finally was a shout: ‘Behold, the groom! Come out to meet him.’Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. But the foolish virgins said to the prudent ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ However, the prudent ones answered, ‘No, there most certainly would not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the groom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. Yet later, the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ Be on the alert then, because you do not know the day nor the hour. ~Matt. 25:5-13

Choosing not to decide is still a choice. God our Father loved us so much that he gave us free will. We have the free will to do what is right and good, but also to do what is evil or simply to ignore the righteous and good and do nothing.

Recently I was talking with an acquaintance regarding new team members or more specifically, how to determine if potential new team members were serious.  How do we know that the enthusiastic new member is genuinely interested in becoming a part of the team, not just a member of the “cool kids” club?

Do they desire to serve others or are they concerned with themselves and their own ego first? Traumatic medical training forces the participant to consider or prepare to serve others. While tactical or shooting endeavors lend themselves toward ego gratification.

In the military, they use the inspection as a way to ensure that the standards are being maintained. From small unit inspections all the way up to General level inspections. When I was working as a military contractor, the active duty personnel would frequently go into freak out mode because the “brass” from Virginia were coming for an inspection.   

For our part, we/I never worried about inspections. If you always do the right thing, you never have to worry about a surprise inspection. The only people who fear inspections are those who make a habit of NOT doing the right thing; the lazy and lackadaisical.

The same principle applies to the children of God. We need not fear the second coming of Christ, the rapture, if we spend our lives following Christ’s instructions. 

48But if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My [al]master [am]is not coming for a long time,’ 49and he begins to beat his fellow slaves, and he eats and drinks with those habitually drunk;50then the [an]master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect, and at an hour that he does not know,51and he will [ao]cut him in two and assign [ap]him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
