Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not insincere, not prone to drink much wine, not greedy for money, but holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 

1 Timothy 3:8-9

But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.  For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.  1 Tim. 4:1-5

Warrior’s Prayer Lord, I come before you seeking the strength and skill to overcome my enemies. Grant me I pray, the wisdom to recognize evil, the courage to confront it, and the strength to destroy it. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.  Psalm 23

Minding your own business can be fatal. Can we balance situational awareness with a need to “mind our own business”.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction. ~Proverbs 1:7

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. ~Proverbs 3:5

How many of the troubles of the world are due to men attempting to lean on their own understanding? The Fear of the Lord is absent most everywhere we turn.

We witnessed what might be considered a miracle in our sinful world this last week. The new speaker, Mike Johnson, of the House of Reps. knelt down and prayed to God.

Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flute. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Everything that has breath shall praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! ~Psalm 150

When I was a teenager I recall many Christians searching for hidden satanic messages in song lyrics. The Christian band Petra, actually punked these people out by recording a backwards lyric that said “Why are you looking for the devil when you ought to be looking for the Lord?” 

Perhaps, instead of looking for Satan in song lyrics, we should be looking for inspiration from the Holy Spirit?  

Chosen fate, I have become, Broken slave and overrun

In my dying time My wounds shall all be healed

Servant to one's suffering, The poisoned crown, a fallen king

In my dying time You're all that is real  In my dying time My wounds shall all be healed

In my dying time You're all that is real  In my dying time My wounds shall all be healed

“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  

Mammon def: wealth regarded as an evil influence or false object of worship and devotion.

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?
