Mon, 09 Jul 2018 14:55:34 -0500

The advent of Facebook was one of the worst vehicles to ingratiate itself upon our lives. IT (information technology) effectively took everyone's lives and smashed all of us all together into a virtual universal high school, if not lesser. Our lives have been turned into "a social experiment" that seeks to promote a constant reinforcement of validation, overstated promotion of our faulty ideas and irrational thoughts, and perpetually masturbates some form of tacit confirmation that we "matter." Facebook's system of acquiring and adding "friends," was the single most incredible achievement of entrepreneurial and psychological proportions; encourage people to virally promote themselves, cross-connect with "like-minded folks" that politically charge up the armies with "group think mentality," link up with people they know and call them, "friends," and then, use that information to market a truckload of useless nonsense and unnecessary commodities to these people through the social medium. Brilliant. Your true friends know who and what you are, understand how and why you are, and love you for better, worse, richer, poorer and always stand with you, whether the battle is theirs or not!

Send For the Angels

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 16:46:55 -0500

Another great weapon we have in our spiritual arsenal as Christians is the angel. Angels are mighty and powerful heavenly beings. They are invincible and also most times invisible. That means they always work behind the scene, unseen, yet, unconquerable and unstoppable. They are spirit beings and the messengers of God. Their main duty is to worship God and also to see that his instructions are carried out on earth. They patrol the earth to see that the will of God done. They help, protect and minister to God's people. They carry out most of the activities between heaven and humans. They are very strong, very intelligent, very obedient, holy and very swift. They can reach any part of the universe in seconds. Then, in battles, one angel can kill hundreds of thousands of human beings in a night, as we would see soon. Before we see some of their activities and how they can aid our warfare, let's understand what Jesus was saying in the text we read earlier.
