Use of AI to deceive in the future: political manipulation, false reels, and not being able to tell what is real!
Our Sister Church in India is now facing increasing persecution and resistance to the Good News of Jesus Christ. Even signs and wonders bring conversions and rejection! It is like the situation when Jesus healed. How do we pray for those under the slavery of principalities and powers? How do we react to them when persecuted? This is a message I shared with our brothers and sisters in Tamil Nadu India.
Jesus has become our Sabbath. When he said, Come unto me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you Shabat/Rest/Sabbath, he changed the orientation from external observances to intimate relationships with God so that we may find our rest in Him.
The irony of atheism is that the atheist must posit the existence of God in order to have something to not believe in. Atheists don’t rail against the idea of Zeus or Thor; only against the Judeo-Christian idea of God.
Are We Preaching the Good News? Audio is preceded by 40 seconds of silence. Luke 4:42–43 ESV And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” What was Jesus preaching? Acts 28:30–31 ESV He (Paul) lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance. What was Paul preaching? Luke 9:1–2 ESV And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.

Luke 10:9 Luke 10:9 ESV Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has … Read more
Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting our trespasses against us… No Matter what sin you have committed, God is not counting it against you: incest, adultery, rape, fornication, homosexuality, pedophilia, murder, theft – God is not holding it against you.
Our focus is man centered instead of God centered. As such we focus on what we do and what we can do, instead of on what God has done for us.
This missive was written in response to a friend who has insisted that Saturday is the only day for worship. Part 1 is here Summary: Come to ME, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Sabbath) Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest (Sabbath) for your souls. Matthew 11:28–29 Rick as I read through your letter, I am hesitant to respond in detail as I fear you have missed my main point. But I will get to that. Unfortunately, you have unreliable sources for excluding the phrase “he declared all foods clean” The parentheses are not in the original text, btw, but the attestation for that line goes back to early manuscripts: https://www.neverthirsty.org/bible-qa/qa-archives/question/was-thus-he-declared-all-foods-clean-inserted-by-man-mark-719/ Your assertion that the situation was unique to Antioch about using the Noahic Covenant for Gentiles is just not true.

And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. But you shall not eat flesh … Read more
