Living on a Prayer

Pete Garcia     Hello, my name is anonymous. No, not that Anonymous (i.e…anarchist group), but just the ordinary, everyday, average person primarily residing in ‘fly-over’ country. I’m not special according to the world’s standard. I’m mostly invisible to the movers and shakers of the great here and now, except unless if I were to commit some egregious, news-worthy crime. Otherwise, I’m just a number, a statistic, or a percentage point on some survey…according to the world’s standard of worthiness. Feeling marginalized yet? If not, keep reading. I have a voice and an opinion on political and social matters, but …

1 Samuel 16:1–5 16 Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.” 2 But Samuel asked, “How can I do that?

THE SLEEPLESS WATCHER

“He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper.”– Psa 121:3-5.   THIS PSALM has been called the Traveller’s Psalm. When the pilgrims started forth from their distant homes to go up to the Temple, not one of them could forecast his experiences before he reached home again. There were perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils in the wilderness, perils in travel from wild beasts. It was well, therefore, that they should commit themselves and their dear ones to the care of One who neither slumbered …

The Cross of Christ by T. Austin-Sparks

Zero. The dictionary tells us that (a) Zero is the point in the scale of the thermometer from which positive and negative quantity is reckoned. (b) In military operations, the point of time from which the start of each movement in a timed programme is at a specified interval. The combination of these two definitions is exactly what we mean when we speak of the Cross of Christ as the zero hour of the Creation. From that point all positive and negative values are determined, and all movements are fixed. Through the ages preceding the Cross of Christ there had …

God is now speaking to the second generation of wilderness wanderers. The first generation has died out and the Lord now speaks to their sons and daughters.

By following these instructions the second generation would come to know by personal experience that Jehovah was their God. As …

The Inward Kingdom

Reflections   And when he was demanded of the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come in a way that you can see. Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke 17:20-21)   The Jewish concept of the kingdom of God of that day was a physical kingdom headquartered in the Jerusalem temple, ruled over by the Messiah. This was also the concept of the disciples – and because of that — every time Jesus spoke …

The Last Few Coats of Paint . . .

Jack Kinsella     ”But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” (Daniel 12:4) The vision and prophecy given to Daniel is to be fulfilled at the ‘time of the end’. The angel says at that time that people will be traveling back and forth on the earth (‘to and fro’) at a time of exponentially increasing knowledge. We live in a time when information is coming at us so fast that we even have a phrase to …
