WITHIN SCRIPTURE.

PULPIT OF SKULLS Matthew 26:2-4 “As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. --------------------------------------------    There are eyes out there. They are bold and all wanting. They have seen you and keep seeing you. There are also those ones in deep realms of spirituality. They plan day and night against all that God has made you to be. And because they plan all the possible ill against you, they have set their stage on earth to have an army to fight you. There is an army that fights in the spirit and there is also an army that fights in the physical - and the physical are all around. The devil was not happy at the birth of Jesus. He knew what it meant to have the Messiah born. He used the physical army. He used that kind to fight...

A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. --------------------------------------------     Daniel was a wise man among the many. We have Friends and many of them influence our decisions and direction. God is wonderful. He made us for others and others for us. We live in unity. But unity may mean a portion that is not the whole that is desired to direct and dictate our lives. Because of unity, Many have followed the many and have nothing. Because of unity, many have given into the bandwagon effect and have fallen prey to circumstances that are beyond. Of course am not saying against unity. Even unity itself is beyond bandwagon. But the larger portion beyond bandwagon is where we find something fishy.  The boundaries beyond the ...

IN THE SMALL LIFE Job 14:1 “Mortals, born of woman,  are of few days and full of trouble. --------------------------------------------     Of course your grandmother was not a thousand years before their death. She was only hundred or even less.  But there is a group that hit figures like nine hundred ninety years in their age. Wow....wow. That is a time in today's generation that many generations may have come up and gone. It is a lot of time. But even in the eyes of mother nature, it is not too much time...just a shift of debris among the collosal mountains. The years we live are not a lot but the too many troubles that we face may make the time feel a lot. The challenges that we face every day can feel like the world will never end. Even those that were born yesterday can stand and say Christ has taken long ever since He promised that He shall return to take back the saints. But were they even there when Christ had just left the earth? A thousand days...

ACUTE REFLECTION Psalm 77:11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. --------------------------------------------    Moving forward without looking back is a thing that we emphasis in many motivations. We say that you should let the past go and focus on the future. That you should let that that has transpired to be and fix your eyes on the things that are ahead. That looking at the things that are behind will only choke the dreams that are ahead. Of course that is true. But the looking at what is behind and having the dreams choked is when we look like the Israelites did. Looking and recalling the watermelon that came along even when there was a stroke. Or looking at the grave that were available even when there was stroke and watermelon. It is such a look that is not encouraged and it is one that will choke the dreams. But there is this romantic "look behind". The lovely reflection on the divine goodness that God has done all t...
