How can I serve You, Lord?
What shall I say?
What shall I do for You?
Show me this day.

I lay my life down now,
All now for You.
Your witness I will be,
Telling what’s true.

Surrender all for You,
Your will obey,
Live holy unto You,
Kneel down and pray.

I love You more than words
Can now express.
Your servant I will be,
Give Your address.

The apostle Paul was a servant of God, a bond-slave to Christ, and someone who belonged to Jesus Christ and who had no ownership rights of his own. All of us who believe in Jesus Christ with genuine God-provided and God-inspired faith in him have been crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with him to walk in newness of life in him, no longer as slaves to sin but now as servants (bond-slaves) of God and of his righteousness. We are those who willingly live under Christ’s authority as his devoted followers. And this is what Paul was saying about himself here.

Paul was also an apostle of Jesus Christ. And an apostle of Christ is a messenger of Christ who is taking his messages to the people of the world and to the church. He or she is one who has been called of God and sent by God out into the world to preach the gospel of Christ according to what Jesus and his NT apostles taught was the gospel of Christ, and not what so many people today are referring to as “the gospel.” Now the apostles of the New Testament had a position of authority over the church, and they spoke the words of God as carried along by the Holy Spirit.

But all of us who believe in Jesus Christ are called of God to be his witnesses, and to take the message of the gospel of Christ to the people of the world to many nations. And we are all to make disciples of Christ of people, baptizing (where possible), and teaching them to obey our Lord’s commandments (New Covenant). And we are to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth in preserving and in sharing the truth (the light) of the gospel message. And all of us are to be proclaiming the excellencies of our Lord who called us out of darkness into his wonderful light (the gospel).

And all of us are to be ministering to the body of Christ in the ways that the NT apostles ministered to the body, except that we will not all be in positions of authority over anyone. For we are to be those who are encouraging one another in the faith, and who are united together as one by that same faith. And we are to love one another, and to serve one another, and to utilize the gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit, in the power and working of the Spirit in our lives, in ministering to one another’s needs. And we are to help make certain that all the body parts are treated equally and not treated unfairly.

For “the ministry” is not just for those who are pastors or evangelists or missionaries (with credentials and titles), but it is for all of us within the body of Christ. We just all have differing gifts and ministries as are gifted by the Spirit and as are assigned to us by God. And so all of us are to be speaking the truth of God’s word to one another, urging, teaching, and admonishing one another in all wisdom, exhorting one another daily so that none of us may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. And we are to stir one another to love and good works which God prepared for us to walk in.

[Matt 5:13-16; Matt 28:18-20; Jn 4:31-38; Jn 13:13-17; Jn 14:12; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:14-18; Acts 26:18; Rom 10:14-15; Rom 12:1-8; Rom 15:14; 1 Co 12:1-31; 1 Co 14:1-5; Gal 6:1; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:1-16; Eph 5:11-27; Eph 6:10-20; Php 2:1-8; Col 1:9; Col 3:12-16; Tit 2:11-14; Heb 3:13; Heb 10:23-25; Jas 5:19-20; 1 Pet 2:9,21; 1 Jn 2:6]

So all of us who profess faith in Jesus Christ are to be bond-slaves (servants) of the Lord Jesus, doing what he has called us to do, sharing the truth of the gospel with people, and ministering to the body of Christ, according to their needs. And all this is for the sake of the faith of God’s elect (his chosen ones) – those of us chosen out of the world and out of our lives of sin to now serve Jesus Christ with our lives and in walks of holiness and righteousness, and in obedience to his commands. But this faith comes from God, is persuaded of God, and must accord with godliness.

And Jesus taught that if anyone would come after him, he must deny self, take up his cross daily (die daily to sin) and follow (obey) him. For if sin is what we obey, and not righteousness, and not obedience to our Lord, we will not inherit eternal life with God, regardless of what our lips profess. For he also said that not everyone saying to him, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING the will of God the Father. So many will stand before him on the day of Judgment, calling him, “Lord,” but he will say, “I never knew you. Depart from me you workers of lawlessness.”

[Matt 7:21-23; Lu 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 12:1-2; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:1-17; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; 1 Pet 2:24; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2]

So, please take this seriously. Commit your lives to Jesus Christ today to do his will as his bond-slaves (servants). Die with him to sin, not just once, but daily, and walk now in obedience to his commands and no longer in sin.

To Be Like Him

An Original Work / March 16, 2014
Based off Scripture

Crucified you are with Jesus.
To be like Him, oh, you’ll be,
Because He died at Calv’ry,
So from sin you’d be free.
Oh, what joy He brings into your life,
Giving life with Him endlessly.

Oh, what plans He has for your life.
Share the gospel faithfully.
Show the people He loves them.
Now His witness you’ll be.
Tell the world of sin about Jesus,
How He died for them on a tree.

Purifying hearts, He saves them,
Who believe on Christ, God’s Son.
Turning now from their idols,
New lives they have begun.
Jesus saves from sin; we’re forgiven.
Over sin, the vict’ry He won!

When He comes again to take us
To be with Him evermore,
There will be no more crying.
Gladness will be in store.
Heavens joys will now overtake us:
We’ll be with our Lord evermore.

Isaiah prophesied about Jesus’ life on this earth, his ministry, his death for our sins on the cross, and his gospel of salvation. Yet, that is not the end of the story. Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead, he ascended back to the Father, he sent his Holy Spirit to indwell his followers, and one day he is coming again to take us to be with him.


Who Believes?

An Original Work / October 3, 2013
Based off Isaiah 53

Gospel message, who believes?
Jesus Christ died on a tree,
Saving us from all our sin,
So we might be cleansed within.

Had no beauty found in Him,
That we should desire Him.
Man of sorrows, suffering;
Crushed for our iniquities.

Surely He has borne our griefs;
From our sadness, brings relief.
Bore the stripes; forsaken, He,
So forgiven we might be.

We, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us turned his own way.
Jesus calls, “Repent today;
My commandments, now obey.”

Jesus said, to come to him,
We must die to all our sin.
Crucified with Him, we live,
Walking in His righteousness.

Suff’ring servants, we will be,
Taking His identity on us,
When confessing Him
As our Savior, Lord and King.

Jesus Christ, the only Begotten Son of God, left his throne in heaven, came to earth, took on human flesh, healed the sick and afflicted, raised the dead, delivered people from demons, performed many miracles, fed the hungry, and comforted the sorrowful. He also taught the people that, in order to follow him, they must deny self, take up their cross daily (die daily to sin) and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to our old lives of sin, we will lose them for eternity. But if for Jesus’ sake we deny self, die daily to sin, and follow him in obedience, then we have salvation from sin and eternal life.

[Isaiah 53:1-12; Matt 7:21-23; Matt 26:26-29; Lu 9:23-26; Lu 17:25; Jn 1:1-36; Jn 6:35-58; Jn 8:24,58; Jn 10:27-33; Jn 20:28-29; Rom 5:8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 9:5; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 11:23-32; 1 Co 15:1-8; 2 Co 5:15,21; Eph 4:17-24; Php 2:5-11; Col 2:9; Tit 2:11-14; Heb 1:8-9; Heb 2:14-15; Heb 4:15; 1 Pet 2:24; 2 Pet 1:1; 1 John 3:4-10]

Therefore, we must be doers of the Word and not hearers only. We must be those who put the Word of God into practice in our daily lives – all that is directed towards us who believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, which we can read about in the New Testament, but also in the Old Testament, where the two agree. For we are not under the Old Covenant liturgical, ceremonial, sacrificial, purification, and dietary laws and restrictions. And all males no longer have to be circumcised. So we must read the Old Testament in light of the New Testament teachings.

If every day you are in the practice of reading your Bible, or a devotional book, but you do not put into practice what Jesus and his NT apostles taught us with regard to how we are to live as followers of Christ, then it profits you nothing. And if every week you faithfully attend “church services,” and so you listen to sermons, and you sing songs of praise to God, but you do not practice what the Scriptures teach regarding dying to sin daily and walking in obedience to the Lord, in practice, it profits you nothing. For Jesus died that we might die with him to sin and live to his righteousness.

So if all you do is read or listen to the Scriptures, but you do not do what our Lord commands that we must do, as his followers, under the New Covenant, then you are like someone who looks at his reflection, his face, in a mirror, but then immediately walks away and forgets what he looks like. And our face is our character, and our reflection is what reveals our true character. It is what shows us who we really are. And the Scriptures reveal to us our true character, and they convict us of sin so that we will change, and so that we will not continue living in sin but now in righteousness, in obedience to God.

And the perfect law that we are to be looking into diligently, and with all seriousness of purpose, is the gospel of Jesus Christ. And that gospel teaches us that, by faith in Jesus Christ, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin, and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but now as slaves to God and to his righteousness. So we are no longer to let sin reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it leads to death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, its end is eternal life with Christ (Romans 6:1-23).

Gift of God

An Original Work / October 25, 2016
Based off Various Scriptures

Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Died for us on a cross;
Conquered death, sin, and hell,
So, with Him, we would dwell.

For, by His grace, we are saved.
He set us free from all sin.
Thanks be to God for His Gift.
Through faith in Him, we’re forgiven.

Holy Spirit of God,
Given to us who believe,
Gives us new life in Christ;
Made to be just like Him.

We died with Christ to our sin.
New lives in Him we begin,
Walking with Christ day by day.
We read His Word, and we pray.

Jesus, He is our Lord.
Follow Him where He leads.
Tell the world of His grace.
We’ll see Christ face to face.

Soon He is coming again.
We’ll be forever with Him.
He’ll wipe our tears all away.
Oh, what a wonderful day!

Indeed. The choice is yours.

The reparations bill supported by Vice President Kamala Harris would set up an independent commission similar to the one in California that called for sweeping changes to the criminal code in addition to monetary payouts to black Americans.

The Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act, which was reintroduced in April 2019 and cosponsored by then-senator Harris, would create a 13-member commission to “study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery, its subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans.” The commission would then offer their recommendations for “remedies” to Congress.

Current laws that “continue to disproportionately and negatively affect African-Americans as a group, and those that perpetuate the lingering effects, materially and psycho-social,” could be on the chopping block as well, the bill reads. That provision is left vague. Specifics, the bill states, would be hashed out by individuals from “civil society and reparations organizations that have historically championed the cause of reparatory justice.”

Although the bill does not specify which federal laws could be slashed, a reparations task force in California may offer some clues. That task force concluded last year that longtime black residents were entitled to $1.2 million each, as well as recommended sweeping changes to the criminal code.

Among the changes recommended were decriminalizing public urination and letting those arrested for public indecency sue the state for damages. Fathers who are delinquent on their child support would see their debt wiped, and police would no longer be allowed to pull over cars with expired registration, tinted windows, or broken tail lights.

In my company, people bring in food often, and so it is likely to be noticed if I am not eating. I have tried fasting recently and people almost found out. I broke a fast prematurely, and the next morning there was a pancake breakfast which I partook of. Later that day, one of my coworkers asked me conversationally if I ate any of the breakfast. If I had prolonged my fast and not ate the breakfast, he would have found out just by asking me.

There are often carry in meal events, or food ordered in from restaurants. There is also a coworker who often buys a meal at Wendy's that I think may have 5 items, and she usually gives me her chicken nuggets because it is too much for her.

I am kind of struggling with what to tell these people if I decide to go on a fast. If there is food offered and they ask me about it, or the lady wants to give me chicken nuggets, I could just say, “This is a day where I am cutting back”. However if my boss orders a special meal that is delivered to the workplace, if I can't eat it, I may explain that I am fasting in order to not be rude, especially if I have been on the fast for a few days, where my digestive system would be overloaded by a normal meal if I don't break the fast properly.

Jesus instructed people not to share with others that they are fasting. However I don't only want to fast for spiritual purposes, but I am interested in the weight loss benefits. I could just explain to coworkers that I skip meals sometimes to lose weight, so that I avoid exalting myself in their eyes spiritually, and it is possible that some days of my fast may not be all that spiritual in nature, but more for the weight loss. I am still interested in the spiritual benefits too, though.

Something that I am uncomfortable with is that in American culture, where there seems to be a lot of misinformation that everyone has to have three meals a day, if people know that I am fasting or skipping meals, they might think that I have an eating disorder, when that is not necessarily true. I look relatively thin, and wearing a loose T-shirt, people can't easily notice the excess belly fat that has accumulated.

If the lady has extra chicken nuggets to give me from her meal at Wendy's, and I am fasting, I could tell her that I can put the nuggets in the freezer and eat them at a later time. Usually if I am not available to eat them, she will put them in the fridge, and the nuggets last for two or three days. However I am thinking of doing a much longer fast possibly where I can still drink juice.

I also want to mention that I have found it easy to give into temptation to break the fast after just about 2 days. If I can get past three days, than it kind of locks myself out from most food because a fast three days or longer is not healthy to break by eating processed food, bread, or meats, but only by eating some fruit or vegetables.

I could also explain to my coworkers the health benefits of fasting, such as the body removing damaged cellular material during a fast. I could also explain that I am trying to follow the example in nature, where an animal may build up fat reserves for migration or hibernation, and then, when they are not eating, their body consumes the fat reserves.

But presidential candidate Harris enters the race with a significant challenge. As vice president, she cast a critical vote to break a tie in the Senate and allow the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan to move forward toward a final vote. Had it not been for her vote, the bill might never have gotten to Biden’s desk for his signature.
Biden and Harris still tout this legislation as one of the centerpieces of their record. But the public isn’t buying it for good reason. Every time people buy gas or groceries, they are reminded that it was this ill-conceived legislation that jump-started runaway inflation.
One month after the ARP was signed into law, inflation increased to 4.2 percent. This came after the U.S. economy had had inflation under 3 percent for 111 consecutive months.

Groceries and rent--think of Kamala. And realize how extremely radical she is and that Joe was just the start.

I have been thinking about this recently. How are we to understand it when Jesus says: "Only God (the Father) is good? Well, you might say: "Jesus doesn't actually say 'the Father'", but when we look at that Gospels Jesus always refer to the Father when he says "God".

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine has sunk a Russian submarine and hit a Russian airfield in the past 24 hours, in line with a surge of long-range attacks against Russian targets, officials said. Russia said Ukrainian drones also hit an apartment building, killing one person.

The uptick in attacks since July comes as Ukraine mounts pressure on allies to allow it to use long-range missiles to strike targets in Russia. Western allies, in particular the U.S., have so far resisted, fearing escalation from Moscow.

Ukraine struck a Russian Kilo-class submarine and an S-400 anti aircraft missile complex in the Moscow-occupied Crimean peninsula, according to a statement from the General Staff on Saturday. The air defense system was established to protect the Kerch Strait Bridge, an important logistics and transport hub supplying Russian forces.

Units of the missile forces, as well as the Navy, damaged four launchers of the Triumph air defense system, while in the port of Sevastopol, the “Rostov-on-Don” — a submarine of Russia’s Black Sea fleet — was attacked and sank, the statement said.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey accused a Life Time Fitness center of valuing political correctness over safety following reports that the gym allowed a man who identifies as female to change in the locker room intended for women and young girls.

Bailey announced the investigation into Life Time Fitness in Ellisville on Friday after receiving multiple reports from his constituents that the gym reportedly ignored members' safety concerns and instructed them to use the male's "correct pronouns."

Bailey served Life Time Fitness with a notice that it is now under investigation for policies that allegedly enable criminal behavior.

Apparently, RFK Jr while driving came across a dead black bear cub that had been hit and killed by a car, so he bundled it up into his car thinking maybe dinner, maybe taxidermy. But it got late because he had to go to a dinner party or something, so he got a bike from somewhere, drove the bear and the bike to Central Park in NYC and staged what he thought would be a good "accident scene" by dumping the cub with the bike on top - thinking folks would guess the bike hit and killed the bear.

Problem is bread goes bad fast, I will be needing a different source for my carbs and dietary fiber. Other problem is that fruits and vegetables also go bad quickly.
What foods will be good replacements for long term prepping?

So far, I found granola bars as a possible alternative to bread, but I haven't found anything really to help with the vitamins and minerals. I would prefer any food items with a long shelf life than a multi-vitamin. What are our options?

If it can at least last 1 month, rather than 1 week. I will prefer that over fresh fruits and vegetables.
