  The Chosen has been going through some turmoil since Season 4, with actors who have left and controversies over the deviations from Scripture. I confess that Season 4 so bored me, that I did not get through it nor can I offer any opinion on it save the Rhema death and Jesus won”t raise her (fiction, not in the Bible) which has really bothered fans and I addressed when it happened as that is possible that Rhema will be one of those raised from the dead when Jesus dies on the cross and the tombs open (Matthew 27:51-53). That said I decided to tune into The Last Supper or Season 5, Episodes 1 and 2 mainly because at last Jesus has arrived at Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, and the events of His Passion are about to happen. I have felt that this series has been drawn out, with Season 4 feeling like filler, and that it probably could have been three seasons, and yet the potency of which it holds itself like a vintage of Jarius’ approval is a curiosity to me.  I want to say that it is r...

  First Man is the the story of Neil Armstrong and the perils that lead to the Lunar Landing. The Film is a master class of cinematography, acting, and music, as it transports you from this Earth to the Moon. What becomes apparent as Neil loses his beloved daughter Karen, and then later good friends in accidents like Apollo 1’s Unplug Oxygen Test, is the cost of exploration, that lives are lost to achieve milestones and great feats for mankind. More than this you are left with a sense that The First Step Neil will make will be akin to The Atom Bomb, a paradigm shift for humanity, that it will mean a next step for civilization and all of the people made in the Image of God.  There were moments in the film that I felt a profound sense of awe and even melancholy. One such moments is when the NASA Leader says, “the Clergyman shall commend these souls as they do at sea, to the deepest of deep,” you can feel that deep, even like crator on the moon, a chasm of death, and how thankful...

The Dead Sea Scrolls are considered to be one of the greatest archaeological finds in the 20th Century. Within the Qumran Caves the scrolls that were found date from the Time of Jesus and are to date the most ancient copies of the Old Testament to be found, with the omission of the Book of Esther. Many brothers and sisters in Christ rejoice over this finding, that it serves as a proof the Scriptures have not been changing across at least millennium.  While I do not dispute that they are indeed an incredible find for history and archaeology, I do want to warn theologically they are dangerous. The people who kept these scrolls were ascetics knowns as The Essenes, who practiced secret ries and kept secret beliefs. Secret knowledge is very dangerous, that was what the false sect known as the Gnostics believed, and it is my conclusion that The Eessenes and their secret knowledge is what Jesus Christ outright confronts in the Last Book of the Bible, “ But I also have a message for the re...

I am becoming greatly concerned that our Christian faith is going to be caught u in the times. That because so many prominent Christian leaders are involved with the Current US Administration, and that so many Christians support Israel in the middle of a war with Gaza and Iran, that soon the sight of our Crosses, and expressions of our faith will incur ire and we will become persecuted for those involved in the politics of America and Israel.  It is rather sad, Iran is from whence Abraham came, Ur was in Iran and the Promised Seed, the Sons of Isaac are descended from the native Iranian. Now those who remained in Ur are at war with those who went to Palestine, and caught in middle is us Christians who will become scapegoats. Inevitably what will happen is people will associate Christian symbols with the Administration and those who support Israel, not considering that not everyone who puts their trust in Jesus agrees with the politics of US and Israel. I am for one am more concerne...

   I keep hearing people say these days, "unless I see, I will not believe," like Doubting Thomas. People want proofs, they go to YouTube and want all these explanations for everything. While it is not inherently wrong to learn and seek out answers, it is human nature, the call of a Christian is to believe without seeing, to trust God though we do not see, " You love Him (Jesus) even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see Him now, you trust Him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls." (1 Peter 1:8-9, NLT). The Apostle instructs us that the reward for this trusting, this faith in what we cannot see is the "salvation of our souls," that it is more precious than anything. We have a great privilege that not even the apostles had, who Jesus said, " Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have b...

   On June 8th, we are Church Universal will be celebrating Pentecost. Pentecost or Shavuot was a feast instituted in the Old Testament period, when the Lord ordained feasts. It is a fifty day agricultural feast after Passover that is also known as the Festival of Weeks, " Count off seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.   Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. And rejoice before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites in your towns, and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows living among you." (Deuteronomy 16:9-11). It is an Agrarian Festival that the Hebrews celebrated according to the Lord's decree to give their first fruits to the Lord, "Y ou shall observe the Feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of whea...
