Diognetus. The Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus (translation J.B. Lightfoot).: "12:9 and salvation is set forth, and the apostles are filled with understanding, and the passover of the Lord goes forward, and the congregations are gathered together, and [all things] are arranged in order, and as He teacheth the saints the Word is gladdened, through Whom the Father is glorified, to Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

The early church fathers, as they called themselves, were Really cool.

The early church is still the church, There aren't millions of churches and millions of denominations.

There is one Church and it is The bride of Christ.

We are.

In Deuteronomy chapter 7:5 it says:

5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles [a] and burn their idols in the fire.

Enough entertaining idols and viewing false alters with reverence, Complacency and Pluralism are killing us all.

the Way the Truth the Life. There is Good News. And this will, Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles [a] and burn their idols in the fire. So join me in Spreading that Good News.

Jesus loves you and wants you to accept Him now.

This means everything.

God bless you all. Sleep tight, and Pray.

Are there such things as, birds that are afraid of heights or claustrophobic moles. or spiders with arachnophobia. My coworker and I were thinking of these types of things. Vegetarian Sharks. Albino Polar bears.

He asked me if i believed in aliens. I said that it's possible that they exist but honestly, i don't think there are such things... I said they don't necessarily contradict my Faith, although they're not mentioned in the Bible, He said he wasn't sure he believed in the Bible..

He asked who wrote it. I told him God. Through 40 or so writers and through 60 or so books, spanning thousands of years. The most historically accurate book/ collection of books ever. Provable through archeology. Provable by science. Proved by fulfilled prophecies. Over Two thousand prophecies. The only ones that haven't happened are the ones concerning the end of this Place. Which could be any day any second.

I didn't get the chance to tell my co-worker this, But the most important and powerful proof of the bible's truth is the experiential tests. This is when you. YOU and I. When we Lay down your pride. We give up our know it all attitudes. Our Control everything policies. We let go of the reigns and we ask Jesus if he can really help us. We actually address Him. Not a picture, not a cross. WE ASK HIM.

And He will. It's guaranteed. It Has worked for millions and millions of people. This is not a joke. This is not a hoax.

This means everything.

Jesus does Save!

My coworker. Later on said that he did believe everything happens for a reason. I agreed, Yes it does. He said he believed that every encounter that you have, every accident, sickness, conversation, everything has a meaning. I agreed.

I told him about how two years ago i was dying. I was dying spiritually. I was drinking way too much. I was depressed beyond belief. I felt like crap all day long. i told him about how shortly after i asked God if he was real and if he could help me. Very shortly after that i met four people, in an amazing set of circumstances, that were bold enough to share their faith.

And eventually led me to Jesus. And that they were right there at the exact time that i needed them. That was meant to happen that way.

He said right on.

Was I there at the exact time i needed to be for my coworker? I Pray i was.

In Jesus' Name i pray, i was.

amen.

this girl. her name is kerri smith. her website is filled with very fun and creative ideas' she's an artist and she thinks you should be too. I agree with her. everyone should. If you have a few minutes. which no one does. go to her website. and if you are rich, send her twenty dollars. Just for the heck of it.






SO... this is my ... err shall i say it. blog.

i still hate that word. But it seems it here to stay. I'm think about writing on here more often. Publishing digitally. TO potentially millions of people. but realistically to no one.

I was thinking of journaling anyway. and then at least it's safe here, on the old nerd-net. In case my house burns down, i'll still have my online crap saved. Yippee.

so long as someone doesn't accidentally burn down blogger.


So here's to me.

Dear me....

the past few days so many things have happened. I want to write about everything. even the boring stuff. i am a writer and i want to write more. Is typing writing?

The trouble is it takes longer to write it than it does to live it.

so i may never catch up.

but to quote King Solomon. this too is meaningless.

Hey in case you haven't heard. The Messiah has come. And he really is coming again. if you are at all interested in knowing him, or knowing him more, you really can pray to him right now. Pray everyday for him to show himself to you more.

and then just watch how your life changes. awesome.

i'll quit preaching now.

Good night, love trav-is

if there's a link to a bad credit thing. sorry. WHat?

Here's something i read in a book by CS LEWIS. "the screwtape letters."

It's about sarcasm.. here it is:

"A thousand bawdy or even blasphemous jokes, do no help towards a man's damnation so much as his discovery that almost anything he wants to do can be done, not only without the disapproval but the admiration of his fellows,if only it can get itself treated as a JOKE."

Think about it. Anything bad, turned into a joke, doesn't seem quite so bad. This is extremely dangerous. It's like my friend Sam Nooney said. It's the small things that are the really bad things.

Friday Morning 6:15

Friday Morning 6:15:

My brother writes the blog for our Friday morning IDEA WRITING ART AND OTHER meetings. at a little restaurant in Bellaire, mi. He and our cousin are atheists, without a cause. This is how he described part of one of our conversations.....

"Anyway, talk soon turned to religion, as it always does. Or more specifically, the origin of life. I proposed we take a vote and, based on the outcome, decide if there really is a Higher Power which...umm...whom... uh... hath... created us all. Score: Atheists-2, Rory-1. High five for not really knowing, or caring! Again determining never to discuss such topics, we talked about the revolution."


High Five? not knowing or caring?

And so I've been thinking. Why is it that no one wants to talk about the origin of life? Shouldn't it be exciting to everyone. believers and non-believers alike?

I guess that saying is true....

If God doesn't exist then nothing matters.
but if GOD does exist, then NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

Can i get an A-----men ---AH !
