Peace in Christ.

There are 2 groups of Christians….the dead and the living. Jesus both died and rose, and revived for us all so that He may be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

What we have witnessed so far in Christian history are the “dead” as they have all mortally perished without inheriting an age-lasting life (aka “eternal life”).

They were/are the “flock of the slaughter”…the “vessels of wrath”… as their “pastors” did not feed them the Word of Truth (because of their lack of understanding of the gospel) and were led astray down the broad way to their mortal destruction. They believed in Christ but were led astray from the path that leads to His manifest life. MANY have gone down the broad way that led to their mortal destruction. Matthew 7:13-14 .

But Christ is both the Lord of the “dead” and the living. The "dead"...the first group of Christians... are the last in the resurrection (AT the last day of this age)...while the "last" group of Christians in this age are FIRST in the resurrection.

Rom 14:8-9 KJV
(8) For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
(9) For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

The “dead” Christians shall live again as they will be resurrected AT the “last day” of this age. They believed in Christ but they had mortally died (as they were led astray by false prophets.) The "first" group (the MANY "dead") shall be "last" in the resurrection. the first shall be last and the last shall be first.

Joh 11:25-26
(25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead (though he died), yet shall he live:

But the “living” Christians are those who shall live and believe in Him. They shall NEVER DIE into the age. They will be kept mortally standing here by Christ in this earth TO the “last day” of this age. This is the last group of Christians that are yet to be. The last shall be first in the resurrection. They will be the "few" who will find life. Can we believe this?

(26) And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die (INTO THE AGE). Believest thou this?

The “living” Christians are the “firstfruits” as we shall hear the Word of Truth and will believe in it.

The “dead” never got to hear it and have fallen asleep in Christ. They are termed "asleep" for the duration of this age. He will bring them back again AT the last day of this age when death (the last enemy) is defeated.

Jas 1:18-20 KJV
(18) Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

We are to be swift to hear the Word of Truth and slow to speak and slow to wrath.

(19) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
(20) For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

We…those who will hear the Word of Truth and believe in it…are the “living” who will manifest the presence of Jesus in our mortal flesh so that the people of the outside world may see and also believe and receive an age-lasting life. His manifest life in our mortal flesh keeps us mortally standing here now in this earth for the duration of this age....an age-lasting life.

1Co 15:22-26
(22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Christ the firstfruits are the “living” Christians who will be kept standing here mortally in this earth manifesting the life of Jesus to the people of the outside world. We are the firstfruits of His “creatures”….who are the people of the outside world.

We HEAR the Word of Truth and believe while the people of the outside world will SEE and believe as we manifest His presence to them.

They are His at His “coming”…that is, PRESENCE (Parousia.) The believers among the people of the world (who will SEE His presence being made manifest through us His firstfruits) shall also receive an age-lasting life. They will NOT DIE but will continue to live to the last day of this age.

They are the “eagles” who will gather together around the living body of Christ. Luke 17:37 . The eagles SEE the living prey and are drawn to it.

They are the “clouds” of heaven that the Son of man (those who manifest His life) comes upon.

(23) But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming (Greek: Parousia = PRESENCE).

We…with Christ…will put down all rule and all authority and power….THEN the end of this age comes. We have an age-lasting life to achieve this through Christ. We will not mortally die.

(24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
(25) For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

The last enemy of this age to be destroyed is death. This comes AT the last day of this age.

(26) The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

At this time (at the last day of this age), the “dead” Christians will then be resurrected. They will have missed out on the gathering of everything in Christ on this earth.

The “living” shall not “sleep” for the duration of this current age at all as they will be kept standing here mortally in this earth TO the last day of this age. They will then be changed from mortal into immortal thereby circumventing death completely in Christ.

At the last trumpet of this age…the last day of this age, the “dead” Christians that had mortally perished (the “corruptible”) will then be resurrected incorruptible….nonperishable. They believed in Christ but had mortally perished because they were led astray by false prophets to their deaths. But we are assured that God will bring them back with Jesus.

1Co 15:51-52 KJV
(51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
(52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

The “dead” Christians will be raised AT the last day. They had mortally died. They lost their mortal bodies…but God will give them a body as He determines.

But the "living" Christians will have kept their mortal bodies until then which at that time shall be changed from mortal to immortal. They will have never mortally died but will have kept living until the redemption of the body.

1Co 15:35-38 KJV
(35) But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
(36) Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
(37) And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
(38) But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

A CALLER ON MY radio show today asked whether angels are responsible for the “vibrations” heard throughout the universe. He had come across a speaker who suggested something along those lines and wanted to know if it was odd speculation or if the Church actually teaches anything that resembles it. His description mixed a few ideas together, but it touched on something more significant than he realized.

Catholic teaching has always held that angels are real spiritual beings who serve God in ways both revealed and hidden. Scripture hints at some of their responsibilities, the Fathers expand on that picture, and the great theologians explain how their activity fits within God’s providence. The idea that they exercise influence within the created order is not a modern fantasy. It is part of the Catholic understanding of how divine governance reaches into the visible world.

Before turning to St. Thomas Aquinas, it helps to recall that the Church has never claimed to know the full scope of what angels do (Catechism 328–336). What has been revealed shows that they carry out genuine tasks, and the tradition teaches that their responsibilities extend far beyond what Scripture records. That is the context for understanding how a casual remark about “vibrations” can gesture, however clumsily, toward an older and richer teaching.

St. Thomas Aquinas states plainly that angels serve in God’s external missions:

Continued below.

Now Jesus Christ was not born with a sin nature as we are, because he was conceived of the Spirit of God and not of man. And while he lived on the earth he never sinned. But Jesus strived against sin to the point of shedding his blood on a cross to put our sins to death with him, so that, by God-gifted and God-persuaded faith in him we will now die to sin and live to God and to his righteousness. And sin doesn’t have to be some major moral failure. Sin can be doubt, fear, lack of faith, and retreat, which disable our work for God.

So we need to be those who follow the example of Christ, who resist the devil, who flee temptation, and who draw near to God in full assurance of faith, regardless of our circumstances. For the devil likes to “put us through the wringer” (to subject us to very stressful experiences) in hopes that we will fail, and that we will give up the fight, and that we will retreat out of sadness, fear, and physical and mental and emotional exhaustion. But the Lord allows us to go through difficult times of suffering for his purposes.

Just like he allowed the devil to inflict God’s servant Job, to murder his children and his servants and his livestock, and to give Job painful sores all over his body, to test Job’s faith, God will allow difficulties to come into our lives to test our faith, too. This is the discipline of the Lord in our lives to keep us humble, to purify our hearts, to purge us of any known sins in our lives, to keep us focused on God’s purpose for our lives, and to teach us endurance, patience, love, and compassion, that we might grow in Christ.

But when I look at the world around me, in our present day and age, and I see so many signs of the last days, and of times of tribulation, and of the nearness of our Lord’s return, I can’t help but feel that God is allowing some of us to suffer in painful ways because he is getting us ready for greater sufferings yet to come. And/or he is getting us ready for his soon return, so he is purifying our hearts to make us ready for when we will meet our Lord face to face. For the Scriptures talk about that, I think in Revelation.

[Matthew 5:10-12; Matthew 7:13-14; Matthew 10:16-39; Matthew 24:9-14; Luke 6:22-23; Luke 21:12-17; John 15:18-21; John 17:14; Romans 5:3-5; Philippians 3:7-11; 1 Peter 1:6-7; 1 Peter 4:12-17; 2 Timothy 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 3:1-5; James 1:2-4; 2 Corinthians 1:3-11; Hebrews 12:3-12; 1 John 3:13; Revelation 6:9-11; Revelation 7:9-17; Revelation 11:1-3; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 13:1-18; Revelation 14:1-13]

Be Still, My Soul

Hymn lyrics by Katharina von Schlegel, pub.1752
tr. by Jane L. Borthwick, pub.1855
Music by Jean Sibelius, 1899

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav’nly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.

Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
And all is darkened in the vale of tears,
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay
From His own fullness all He takes away.

Be still, my soul: the hour is hast’ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord.
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise
On earth, believing, to Thy Lord on high;
Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways,
So shall He view thee with a well-pleased eye.
Be still, my soul: the Sun of life divine
Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.

Do Not Grow Weary or Lose Heart

Hi Friend,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!



I wanted to share some great one-liners from the saints about gratitude. Spend some time chewing on these today. It’ll lift your soul. And if you live them, it’ll change your life. (The first four are from an American, Blessed Solanus Casey.)



“It’s heaven begun for the grateful on earth.”

— Blessed Solanus Casey



“Thank God ahead of time.”

— Blessed Solanus Casey



“Be sure, if the enemy of our souls is pleased at anything in us it is ingratitude—of whatever kind. Why? Ingratitude leads to so many breaks with God and neighbor.”

— Blessed Solanus Casey



“Gratitude is as necessary for social order and harmony as are the laws of gravity for the physical world.”

— Blessed Solanus Casey



“Thank him for everything, because everything is good.”

— St. Josemaría Escrivá



“Happiness can only be achieved by looking inward and learning to enjoy whatever life has, and this requires transforming greed into gratitude.”

— St. John Chrysostom



“The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment and to thank God for what He is sending us every day in His goodness.”

— St. Gianna Beretta Molla



“Gratitude is the memory of the heart.”

St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier



“No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.”

— St. Ambrose



“Think of all the beauty in yourself and in everything around you and be happy.”

— Anne Frank (I know. Not a Saint. But a hero nonetheless!)



“What most attracts God’s graces is gratitude, because if we thank him for a gift, he is touched and hastens to give us ten more, and if we thank him again with the same enthusiasm, what an incalculable multiplication of graces! I have experienced this; try it yourself and you will see! My gratitude for everything he gives me is limitless, and I prove it to him in a thousand ways.”

— St. Thérèse of Lisieux



If you’re reading this, I’m grateful for YOU, and to know that I’m spiritually walking through life with you. My family and I are praying for you today.



HAVE A GRATEFUL DAY!



God bless you,



Chris Stefanick

Real Life Catholic

I have seen a trend with these, not too long ago a man set a woman on fire, and claimed he was drinking, and that he has a drinking problem.

What does this have anything to do with these murders?

CHRISTIAN FAMILY HOSTAGES NOW IN HIDING.

On Aug. 27, 2025, at 1:30 a.m., a group of armed men took a Christian family captive, threatened to bring blasphemy charges against the family and demanded the family pay more than $150,000 to prevent the accusations. They also threatened to destroy everything the Christians owned. “You will be the next Jaranwala,” the abductors said, referencing a riot in August 2023 when Islamic extremists destroyed 26 churches and more than 80 homes in a Christian area after Pakistani Christians were falsely accused of destroying a copy of the Quran. Front-line workers said this family escaped from their abductors but have since gone into hiding. “The threat of blasphemy is such a weapon,” said a front-line worker. “Threats and false claims that someone has committed blasphemy are being used against Christians all over the country. Please pray for all Pakistani Christians to be safe and have wisdom as they serve Christ.”

EVANGELISTS WITH SOLAR PROJECTORS

Despite repeated and ongoing attacks on churches from radical Islamist groups, evangelists continue spreading the gospel throughout the country, most recently through solar-powered projectors. VOM front-line workers delivered the projectors to show the JESUS film and other Christian resources and provided training for 16 outreach workers to operate the projectors. “All were very happy to receive these projectors,” said a front-line worker. “And they were very happy to have the JESUS film in Fulfulde [the language spoken by the Fulani people].” The evangelists were also given Christian resources in multiple languages that can be shared with children and entire families. Front-line workers ask for prayer that God will bless the evangelists’ efforts and protect them as they travel in dangerous parts of Burkina Faso.

STUDENT RETREAT RELIEVES BUDDHIST PRESSURE

As Christian students are forced to participate in Buddhist practices in school, an upcoming retreat will encourage and strengthen their faith. In Bhutan, the king regards himself as a divinely appointed defender of Buddhism, and stringent laws are in place to restrict Christianity, forcing students to join Buddhist practices at school even when doing so is contrary to their faith in Christ. Pray that the upcoming retreat will give persecuted Christian students a reprieve from this pressure and encouragement to remain strong in their faith and witness. Pray that they will be equipped to stand firm in Christ despite forced practices and that, through these students, the Lord will raise up a new generation of leaders for his church.

Trump Announces Halt On Migration From ‘All Third World Countries’

President Donald Trump announced that he will "permanently pause” immigration from all Third World countries and “remove” anyone who is not a “net asset” to the United States.

From Truth Social:

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc.

Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!

Is Christ in Christmas?
Is this His business?
Is this His witness?
Christ now within us?

And does this matter?
Not empty chatter,
Not meant to scatter,
Nor faith to shatter.

Yes! It’s important,
So not leave dormant,
Remain informant,
The truth to warrant.

Christ not in Christmas.
It’s not His witness.
For in His strictness,
For truth He bids us

To know His teachings,
His truth now seeking,
Be we not sleeping,
His Word now reading.

Christ has a purpose,
Be in His service,
Not live on surface,
Your life He purchased.

Not follow idols,
Your sins now bridle,
Know what is vital,
Be His disciple.

If Christ to worship,
Do what He tells us,
What He compels us,
Not what world sells us.

Pray that Godly Wisdom is granted to Rachel Reeves, the chancellor of the exchequer as she attempts to balance the UK budget:

In context, the one who warned them on earth was Moses. He warned the Israelites who had escaped slavery in Egypt, but who were wandering in the wilderness, against living in idolatry, adultery, immorality, drunkenness, revelry, grumbling against God, putting God to the test, craving evil things, and disobedience to God and to his commandments. But most of them did not listen, and they continued in their sins, and so God put them to death, and they did not get to enter his eternal rest because of their disobedience.

The things that they did in rebellion against God happened as examples for us, and they were written down for our instruction, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved. And we are warned in the Scriptures to not be like them, and to not commit the same kinds of sins which they did, and which they refused to repent of, which brought about their deaths and their eternal separation from God. And we are told that if we hear God’s voice, we must not harden our hearts as they did in disobedience to God.

For, under the Old Covenant or the New Covenant, we must not walk in sin and in disobedience to our Lord or we, as well, will not enter into God’s eternal rest, i.e. we will not inherit eternal life with God. And all throughout the New Testament we are warned against disobedience to God and making sin our practice, that if we do that, we will not have salvation from sin, and we will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. For we can’t just call Jesus “Lord,” but we need to be doing (obeying) what he commands us to do.

And God is now using them as an example to us to not be like them or we will face the same result. He is the voice warning us from heaven. And he is showing us that if we do what they did that we will suffer the same punishment that they did, too. For unbelief is not just a failure to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord. Disobedience to God and to his commands is unbelief. And faith in Jesus Christ is obedience to our Lord in dying to sin and now living to God, doing what is pleasing to God.

But all of this comes from God, and is not generated in our own human flesh. Our faith comes from God, it is gifted to us by God, and it is persuaded of God as to his righteousness and holiness, and of our sinfulness, and of our need to die to sin and to obey our Lord and his commandments, by the grace of God, and in the power of God, according to the will of God for our lives. Not one of us can be saved from our sins via our own human effort, but faith in Jesus requires death to sin and obeying God.

So please understand here that our salvation from sin and eternal life with God are not promised to us based upon a profession of faith in Jesus Christ only. God warns us in the Scriptures many times over that if we continue in deliberate and habitual sin, and if obedience to our Lord’s commands is not what we practice, that we will face the same punishment as the Israelites in the wilderness who ignored God’s warnings. We will die in our sins, and we will not have salvation from sin nor eternal life with God. Please believe it!

[1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 12:1-2,18-29; Ephesians 2:8-10; John 1:12-13; John 6:44; Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 10:19-39; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.

Please pray for my son Jakeb again. He still isn't feeling well. Please ask God to heal him and help him be happy and if it is His will let me hear him talk to his friends or laugh tonight. Please pray that there is nothing seriously wrong. I ask for healing mind and body. I ask in the name of Jesus. Thank you and God bless you. Carmen.

I am so grateful for all of you and the prayers you say for my family and me. I pray that you have a blessed happy day with your loved ones. I pray that anyone feeling sad or ill is healed by Jesus. I pray that you find comfort. Thank you for your kind prayers and being here for my family and me. Much love and God bless you all!

I am absolutely convinced that God still uses dreams to talk to us. We know that God has used dreams to communicate in the past: Genesis 37:5-11, Genesis 40:8, Daniel 2:19-22, Joel 2:28, Matthew 1:20, etc;.

But it seems to me that dreams are often dismissed as purely random or a mere recollection of daily events. I have never heard the topic of dreams discussed at any of the churches I have went to. I have not seen any discussion about dreams on Christian youtube channels either, really. Why is this? Has anyone had a profoundly "coincidental" dream before that ended up coming true? How does one gain Joseph's skill of dream interpretation?

Hello, everyone!

I have previously written a book titled "Schizoaffective Disorder and Christianity: In Search of the Truth of God's Sovereignty and Human Will."

I am now in the midst of writing my second book. This book is much more focused on the topic of soteriology.

I am looking for any interested parties to make a committment to read what I have written so far and subsequent more writing I am doing for this book to give me feedback.

I desperately need feedback, as I need some other eyes on what I am writing to see if I am way off base or not.

Thank you to all who show interest.

Peace in Christ.

Again…and repeated again, the keeping of His “daily” sacrifice (ALWAYS bearing about in our mortal body of the dying of the Lord Jesus) manifests His life in our mortal bodies….in our mortal flesh.

This is the revealing/manifestation of the Son of man to the world of which the people of the outside world may then see Him (through us) and believe and be saved.

2Co 4:10-11 KJV
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

But right now, His life is being cut off from this earth by false prophets so that the Son of man is not being made manifest to the people of this world. The Son of man goes away from this earth ….sinking out of view…as He is being given up into the hands of sinners. Matthew 26:24 .

False prophets are actively removing the keeping of His “daily” sacrifice from those they are deceiving and are are having their congregations instead keep a man’s handwriting of church ordinances/dogmas rather than keeping His commandments which are written upon our hearts and minds. No flesh is being saved among the man-based churches as a result.

The man-based churches are serving the sin instead of dying to it and all the while they are white-washing their “wonderful works” with “Lord, Lord” and deceiving many to join along with them in their gatherings.

Mat 7:21-23 KJV
(21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

They are judging others supposedly in His name….that is, in His authority… with their church handwritings of ordinances being used as a basis for.

They cast out others as “devils” who do not agree with and do their works. There is only One Lawgiver…One Judge. We must not put ourselves in His sole authority as Judge by supposedly being a “judge” for Him... judging others (supposedly in His authority) according to our own "lawgiving:" our church handwritings of ordinances.

(22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

They work the iniquity and so do not receive the promise of His presence in their mortal flesh: "depart from me you that work the iniquity." They mortally perish instead as they work THE iniquity. Professing "Lord, Lord" will not help whatsoever if we do not do the will of the Father in Heaven. Let us not keep the will of the church fathers but only the Father in Heaven.

The wages of the sin is the death...our mortal death. That "sting" of sin comes with death....that we had all the while on this earth had been serving the sin as we were deceived by false prophets into doing so. What a "sting" that must be at that realization that we had been serving the sin all along while we were alive on this earth as we went to "church" and thought we were doing the right thing for attending their gatherings.

(23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Their “churches”…their earthly tabernacles…are an “image” as they are built upon their handwritings of ordinances/dogmas (their images)….such as a “statement of faith” which is by definition a handwriting of dogmas (of what one believes is true.) The churches are structured solely on their handwritings and not on what is written upon our hearts and minds.

Moses built the tabernacle according to the pattern that God show to him in the mount where the priests did serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things and not the true reality of them.

Heb 8:5 KJV
(5) Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

But what do earthly-minded men do?

They build their churches according to their images…according to their statements of faith that they wrote for themselves to self-govern and self-judge... by which the whole organization is structured.

They do not have Christ as the Head of the church as they keep and serve their fleshly-minded handwritings instead. Their whole church is an “image” built upon their handwritings. When we go to them, we submit ourselves to their "image worshipping" gatherings. We are forgiven for this...but we must depart from them and be separate from them and no longer be attached to the unclean who are continuing to worship their "idols"...their images.

Col 2:14-23 KJV
(14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
(15) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

The man-based churches are judging others according to the “shadow of things” to come rather than keep the reality of heavenly things that are understood with the mind of Christ. They are not the living body of Christ but a "dead body" that we must not be attached to.

(16) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
(17) Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

The “angels”…the messengers…are Moses and the prophets. They intrude into the Scriptures (which were written by the messengers...Moses and the prophets) and incorporate the ceremonial laws of Moses into their handwritings…and then judge others with them because they thought it was "wise" to do so. They want you to humbly submit to their ceremonial worshipping of the messengers (such as Moses.)

(18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Their churches are just “images” themselves. They are not holding the Head …the mind of Christ.

(19) And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

If we are dead with Christ from the “rudiments” of the world…the founding principles as written by the hand of man for self-governing and judging, why as though living in the world, are we subject to ordinances…dogmas?

Our governing writing is within our hearts where God has written them. Do not let a man bring you into the bondage of keeping and serving man’s handwritings instead of keeping and serving His commandments. Why subject ourselves to them? Why go to an image-worshipping body of people who are all doing the same thing: serving the sin rather than dying to it?

(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances (DOGMAS),
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

We perish with the using of the handwritings of men. Their handwritings are commandments and doctrines of men. This is “image” worshipping when we go and keep and serve man’s handwritings by which the whole church is structured. We are to keep ourselves from "idols"...images...from man-based churches that are images themselves as they are built upon their handwritings (their images.)

(22) Which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
(23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Donald Trump and Alina Habba face $1M in penalties for Hillary Clinton lawsuits


A federal appeals court upheld nearly $1 million in penalties against President Trump and Alina Habba for filing “frivolous” lawsuits against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), former FBI Director James Comey and others.

William Pryor Jr., the chief judge for the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, wrote Wednesday that the president and Habba committed “sanctionable conduct” by filing suit against the parties in 2022.

The president filed suit against Clinton, the DNC, Comey and 25 others more than three years ago, alleging they conspired to undermine his 2016 presidential campaign by accusing it of colluding with Russia.

Avondale official who called Tom Hanks a ‘pedo’ accused of kidnapping​

In a lawsuit, an anonymous man claims Jeannette Garcia offered him a job for sex and briefly abducted his teen daughter.

In a lawsuit filed in Maricopa County Superior Court on Nov. 14, the MAGA darling is accused of drunkenly propositioning a male coworker to have sex and, when he rebuffed her, briefly kidnapping his 14-year-old daughter.

At the time, John Doe had been hired by Charlie Kirk’s right-wing political organization, Turning Point... Garcia ... was also working for the organization and was Doe’s direct supervisor.

“As the [election celebration] night progressed, Garcia began making remarks inviting and suggesting her interest in having sex or being intimate with Father Doe, which he repeatedly rebuffed,” the lawsuit reads. “At one point in the evening Garcia propositioned Father Doe, offering him employment with (Turning Point) if he agreed to have sex with her."

[He left. When he got home after midnight, his daughter wasn't there. Sheriffs later told him she was with Garcia.]

The lawsuit says he “was understandably shocked with Garcia’s inexplicable decision to take his daughter from her home without his permission or consent, place her in a vehicle while (Garcia) was extremely intoxicated, along with two other unknown adults who were also likely intoxicated.”

[Daughter later told him Garcia told her] "Father Doe had been drinking, suggesting that Father Doe could become violent, and that he was on his way home.” [as a pretext for taking the daughter.]

The Jubilee and Nicaea anniversary summon Christians to reconciliation.

Editor’s Note: The Maronite Catholic Church is one of 23 Eastern Catholic Churches in full communion with the pope in Rome. The Church’s approximately 3.5 million members worldwide are primarily concentrated in Lebanon. Bishop Gregory Mansour leads the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn, New York, one of the two Maronite eparchies (dioceses) in the U.S. His commentary below originally appeared on the eparchy's website and is reprinted here with permission, in conjunction with Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic journey to Turkey and Lebanon Nov. 27-Dec. 2.



The year 2025 has brought with it two occasions of grace and challenge: the Jubilee Year proclaimed by the Catholic Church and the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. Each summons us to repentance and renewal, to fidelity and hope. The Jubilee invites us to turn again to God, to seek reconciliation with one another, and to embrace mercy as the path of renewal.

The commemoration of Nicaea recalls the first of the Ecumenical Councils, convened in 325, when the Church, under the authority of an emperor but guided by the Spirit, confessed with clarity that the Son of God is homoousios with the Father — true God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father.

For me as a Maronite Catholic, these two anniversaries converge in a single summons: to reflect deeply on the unity of Christians. My own life bears witness to both unity and division. I was baptized in a Latin parish in Flint, Michigan, for no Maronite parish yet existed there. And yet, by the faith of my father, I was “born” into the Maronite Church, ascription in canon law would describe it. From the very beginning of my life, I have lived the paradox of division and unity: a Maronite in heritage, a Latin in baptism, a Catholic in both. I also grew up with Assyrian Christians (Church of the East) as well as a variety of Orthodox Christians. This reality has shaped my vocation and my longing for the restoration of full communion among all Christians.

The Doctrinal Achievement of Nicaea​

More than a year after she filed for divorce from televangelist Benny Hinn, Suzanne Hinn's marriage to the popular faith-healer is now officially over for a second time in 46 years.

Records from the Hillsborough County Court in Florida, first cited by the Trinity Foundation, show the Hinns' marriage ended in an uncontested divorce on Nov. 19.

When Suzanne Hinn filed for divorce in the summer of 2024, the former couple had been living in separate homes more than 60 miles apart.

Matthew Wilson, Suzanne Hinn's attorney who works with the Anton Garcia Law firm in Tampa, declined to comment when contacted by The Christian Post on Wednesday.
