1 PETER 4:7 (NIV) 

The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

The highest calling of every Christian is to pray, converse, with his/her Heavenly Father about the business of the day or the hour. 

Here, in obedience to His will, we can co-operate & co-labor with heaven to realize "THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN!"

In Christ Realities

I was thinking of a phrase I read awhile ago...

"STACK THE BRICK & MORTAR OF YOUR DAILY CHOICES"..."

I could not find it. 2 days of google and looking through my bookcase. Nothing!

Then I googled the phrase in quotation marks, and it pointed to a book I got awhile ago. The author lists the "IN HIM" scriptures along with the various translations/paraphrases.

( Oh yeah, COL2:6-7 JOHNSON'S... Keep on building your style of life on the relationship you have with Christ. On this foundation, stack the brick & mortar of your daily choices. And, as I taught you, sing & shout & celebrate as you lay one brick on another.)

New days, new times...

It has been over 4 years. I tried a FB page just for these ideas, teachings... Nuggets.

For the past 2 years or so, I tried to balance my beliefs & my politics.  Not much response over there. Now I am committed to sharing my thoughts, my beliefs one way or another.

Today, I was reading an article on end-times from Paul's perspective...

1 TIM 3: (TPT)

1But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce and difficult for the people of God. ² People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly.

³ They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right. ⁴ With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God.

⁵ They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power...

Now that sounds like our politicians & leaders today!

Facebook vs Blogger?
What is the difference?
Usually "FB" can obtain almost instant feedback from a reader. Whereas on Blogger, the reader creates a feedback post which is emailed to the blogger. Time consuming.
But Blogger has options on how the page is presented with a sidebar of other information.
I continue to like both...

And with the problems FB is having with security issues and censorship, their stocks recently dropped. As in any other business,
people will take their business elsewhere when they get burned.

There are alternatives out there, and they will take time for customers to learn the new software if they jump ship. Just like we did when MySpace went away. (not completely away, it is still out there somewhere). Well thats what capitalism does, if someone does not like your product and you dont compensate, then the consumer-driven product goes away.

Steve Schultz - Elijah List

God is calling us to much deeper communion with Him in this hour. We have heard this over and over again from trusted prophetic voices.

It's in these times of abiding in the secret place that we hear the Lord clearly and draw closer to Him and the Lord becomes our primary focus as John Belt shares:

Our primary focus is to be on the Lord and the things of Heaven. At the same time we are not to be "ignorant" of satan's devices. We see that through the initial question the serpent gives to Eve, and he is trying to lure her into conversation. It is bait when he says, "Did God really say?" He is trying to put Eve on defense, which he does successfully. The enemy wants to draw her "off-sides" onto his ground where she can be penalized and proved guilty.

What Is It We Are All Looking For???

 Let's face it, there is a deep down desire inside each of us on this planet. We are all born into it. It gets distorted along the way, Our education, our experiences can distort our basic life goals along the way.

 The desire to be loved, and to have our needs taken care of. This love we seek desires the attention of those around us. We use whatever is available to see to it we are taken care of. From the baby's cry. To the child's temper tantrum. To the adult sowing his wild oats.

Each of us must grow out of that introspective lifestyle, and realize that the world does not revolve around me. But we must learn to use our abilities, talents, resources to help those around us. To whatever extent possible.
