Uncontrollable Forces Waiting

‘Uncontrollable Forces Waiting’

The nation and the whole world is ‘testing the waters.’ In fits and starts, afflicted, inflicted and conflicted America, sharing the same lot with the rest of the edgy, wary and weary world is “testing the waters” to see how quickly and widely it can “open up” and rescue its rapidly-sinking economy—the other pecuniary half of the health pandemic, — without prematurely reactivating a more devastating “second wave” by this fall, as feared by the health scientists.

With sustained physical (more practical than “social”) distancing, using masks (which unsurprisingly has been turned into a “novel” fashion item, or weaponized as political statement), and other aggressive yet so common-sense sanitary and cleansing protocols to mitigate the pandemic, the much-sought after covid-19 test and contact-tracing novel mechanism, is to reveal and hopefully contain and control the spread of infection of this no-longer novel virus, until either a super vaccine, “herd immunity” is acquired on a national scale or a highly improbable permanent “cure” is found.

WHERE & HOW WILL YOU WORSHIP NOW?

April 7, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WHERE & HOW WILL YOU WORSHIP NOW? 

“Salute the brethren which are in Laodicean, and Nymphas, and the church which is in your house.” Col. 4:15. “And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the the church that is in thy house.” Philemon 2, KJV.

Note where the earliest of the churches were situated: “the church which is in thy house;” “the church which is in his house.” This was how the Christian church began in its pure infancy, and in the days ahead, this is how it will end in its spiritual maturity— because of the persecution crisis, not just the corona virus crisis when we finally lose our religious liberty, as prophesied and therefore will “certainly come to pass.”

THE GREATER CRISIS BUILDING UP IN THIS COVID-19 CRISIS

Mar 29, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE GREATER CRISIS BUILDING UP IN THIS COVID-19 CRISIS. 

Happy first working day of this week! Time to get up from bed, pray, eat your breakfast of God’s Written Word and roll up your sleeves and get to work. Work? Yes? Whether at home or where mandated essential jobs or work places- the work described by our Savior and protective Shepherd of the flock as “work” or “occupy” yourself for the night cometh when man works no more.”’

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

February 17 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.

Based on the Bible and the First Amendment of Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution: “RELIGION is ‘the duty we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it.’ LIBERTY is ‘the state of being exempt from the domination of others, or from restricting circumstances.

In ethics and philosophy, the power in any rational agent to make his choices and decide his conduct for himself, spontaneously and voluntarily, in accordance with reasons or motives.’ RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, therefore, is man’s exemption from the domination of others, or from restricting circumstances: man’s freedom to make his choices and decide his conduct for himself, spontaneously and voluntarily: in his duty to his Creator, and in the manner of discharging that duty.’ Since God created man, in the nature of things the first of all relationships is that to God; and the first of all duties could be nothing but duty to God.” A.T. Jones, “Individuality in Religion,” Introduction, 5,6.

Religious Liberty Condemned as Heresy During Thyatira Stage

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK:

“In the nature of things there is no rightful room

for the domination of others in the life and affairs of the soul of the individual person.”

ALONZO TREVOR JONES, “Individuality of Religion”

——

What do others think and say is “the most sacred” of: (a) human rights (b) the Bill of Rights currentlyguaranteed by the U.S. Constitution?  How about you?

It is “the right to vote,” according to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former chair of the DNC and other party heavyweights. On the other hand, it is “the right to life” says the terminally-ill (R) Sen. John McCain, referencing the hot-button issue of abortion or “right to life” championed by the RCC and the politically-active Family Research Council, etc.
