SOMETHING NEW

I like to write because it gives me an opportunity to figure out where I am and what I believe, feel, and think about life through the spiritual lens of my faith in Jesus Christ and my understanding of the Holy Bible. Writing slows me down to not rush what I want to share. Sometimes that sharing is with me on a world platform. Writing is therapy for me and if I somehow share something that helps someone else then all the better. Like working out in a gym to keep in shape and get stronger you have to be consistent and writing is the same to be a very good writer you have to be consistent.

I am trying Substack because I want to reach more people. My faith is evolving as I move through life on earth. Sometimes I get it right and sometimes I epically fail. But I get back up and try to regroup and move forward walking with Jesus. I hope I can encourage, give hope, and put a smile on your face and maybe even a good laugh. 

What you should know is labels don’t always explain the whole story or what a person truly is about. But I will try to explain when needed when using a label. Therefore I am not a flaming liberal nor am I a fundamentalist conservative. I would say I am a centrist on politics leaning just slightly to the right. I am not a literalist fundamental nor anything goes liberal in religion so again a centrist in some areas I lean Progressive and in some areas, I lean toward the historic Jesus Christ. People sometimes have a hard read on me if they try to put me in a box or category.

But I will leave you with this, I will not try to be too long-winded for the mind will only absorb what the butt can stand. I hope to bless you with my writing. Please feel free to comment on posts but please be civil. May the peace of the Lord be with you.

POISONING THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY BIBLE

  The Holy Bible has many beautiful truths within its pages and the most wonderful story in the world of how a loving and gracious God came from Heaven to Earth to save us from sin and ourselves.  What I have seen that saddens my heart is when men and women distort the Bible's precious truths. Sometimes they play mental gymnastics with a rubicon of verses to put together their own view of a topic and make the Bible appear to support their side. Both the liberal and conservative Christians do it and even those who are not even believers play this game. People who want all answers to life and faith but only from the Bible are some of the most toxic and unhappy people I know. Where is their Christlike love? Jesus dealt with this kind of mindset in his mortal time on earth and they were called Pharisees. We must be willing to take the Bible as it is written and what the writers led by the Holy Spirit meant. We must be authentic and transparent. Some things in the Bible are uncomfortabl

CATHOLIC TENDENCIES

  Ever since I was introduced to the Catholic Church I have been fascinated by this body of the Christian faith. One thing that has stuck with me that I admire is the unashamed strength to stand up for what they believe and back it up with The Three Pillars of the Church. Now for those who do not know The Three Pillars, they are number one, Sacred Scripture which comprises the Old Testament and New Testament in a total of seventy-three books. Next is the Apostolic Tradition which is the Living Tradition and the liturgies. Thirdly, The Living Magisterium which is the teaching authority of the Pope in Communion with the Bishops. So what brought this topic up for me is listening to a podcast by Fr. Mike Schmitz denouncing the opening in France of the Olympics when blasphemy was committed by mocking The Last Supper of Jesus Christ. I know some of you are thinking this is already old news. At the time, so many wrote and talked about it that I felt it would be overkill if I wrote about it. I

WHAT VOICES ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

  Since the internet entered our homes and social media dominates the culture of the world we as a human race have rapidly lost our humanity in many ways. People are so vicious to one another and it is so sad to see how narcissistic we have become as a species. I am often balancing what I read and what I listen to so I do not become toxic and filled with false understandings and beliefs. So it is very important to consider just what voices you are listening to and what voices are you reading. What is the mindset of the people, shows, and music you are allowing into your life? We need to be more alert to not allowing trash into our minds, ears, and eyes. Let us not become a landfill for society's useless trash. If you let garbage in soon it will be garbage out. What is most in your heart will eventually come out the mouth both spoken and written. Matthew 15:18-20
