  When we think of blessings, we like to think of positive things like our family, friends, something that happened to us that was comforting. We like to think blessings are things like prosperity, but the Bible has a different definition. Our Lord Jesus says, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." (Matthew 5:11) Wait we are blessed when persecuted and mistreated?! Yes indeed, the Apostle Peter even says, "But even if you should suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed. And you should not be afraid of their threats, neither should you be troubled." (1 Peter 3:14). What the?! Yes the storm can be a blessing, and yet that is not how we like to think of it. Remember when the storm hit the apostles in boat and Jesus walked on the water, it looked bad, and yet it was a blessing for they saw The Lord demonstrate his dominion over the weather by stilling the storm, and that He is God by ...

  Persecution of Christians is on the rise globally. The ICC (International Christian Concern) has been documented in a 116pg report that over 300 Million Christians are being subjected to persecution in the form of imprisonment, torture, punishments, and even assassination! In Nigeria, Africa Christian Farmers are being run off their farms in the millions; they are mutilated even and if they return they are subjected to further mistreatment. How are we in The West turning a blind eye to Christian brothers and sisters suffering?! Oh we have pastors making millions (you know their names) while our family in Christ is being carved up, put in concentration camps, yes there are camps the size of Washington D.C. that Christians are being kept in and slowly exterminated! (https://cbn.com/news/world/christians-terrorized-around-globe-how-murder-torture-mayhem-point-growing-persecution). Our Holocaust is happening! And no one is talking about it save CBN News! The estimated persecuted when...

     Ghosting is phenomenon when someone ignores your messages, does not responds, shuns you, and behaves as if you are dead. Many use this method to deal with relationships they want to dissolve or manage. The problem is we would agree if we watch a scene like in The Witness, when the Amish community shuns the woman who falls in love with Harrison Ford as being extreme, and yet we are just like that Amish community online, and through our technology, severing people without the courage to confront them.  I am going to say that ghosting is acceptable if you are dealing with an abuser, specifically a physical, fiscal, sexual, spiritual, and emotional abuser. The Lord will understand that you need to get away from them and not respond to anything they say without a mediator such as a lawyer or safe people. So before I get into the Culture of Ghosting, I do want to say there are acceptable reasons to ghost, and that is definitely one of them. Now to explore the ghosting...

 There is no putting the genie back in the bottle, the internet and social media, and the many forms of connecting such as Instagram, Discord, Tiktok, and etc are all here to stay. What I intend to examine is not a total boycott, that is impossible, the youth of the nation is firmly tied to these programs and apps, bur rather to look at pitfalls of online life. The advent of the internet came upon us so suddenly, it seemed computers had just started to be in most homes, and then you could hear the loud sound of AOL dial up, then before you knew it you had to get DSL, then Wi-Fi interconnecting of devices appeared, then Wikipedia replaced Encyclopedias, and whoosh here we are in a Online world with social media from X to Facebook that replaced MySpace, with chat rooms like yahoo replaced by Discord. One of the chief problems is that there is a cognitive dissonance developing between online living and what is called IRL (in real life). This compartmentalization has become quite probl...

   The California fires have ravaged the area. Winds of hurricane strength made the flames spread, and the lack of water in the hydrants because the Dam that had water was under construction. This tragedy has many sensing conspiracy, as Mel Gibson who lost his house in Malibu to the fire mentioned the Arsonist caught who did not get charged, and the plans to turn those neighborhoods into climate control and migrant ready housing where people will be bunched upon one another. Others might claim this is God destroying Hollywood for all their sacrilegious and antichrist behavior and stories. Some might even say, "God is a consuming fire," (Deuteronomy 4:24) and that Christ is returning with fire, "But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment" (2 Peter 3:10). I want to ur...

   For most fans the writing on the wall for A Galaxy Far, Far, Away... was in The Last Jedi, when a hero of the franchise was turned into a disillusioned shell of what he became in The Expanded Universe (Legends). Even The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale and Book of Boba episodes, could not salvage Luke Skywalker from being desecrated by Disney. Since then we have had shows that have expressed a form of radical feminism. I want to be clear that you can write strong women and even have them be a focal point like Mara Jade Skywalker as The Emperor's Hand, and Aayala Secura. The issue is not women, it is an agenda to make men irrelevant and subservient. One of the reasons The Clone Wars series work was Anakin and Ahsoka were partners, Snips (Ahsoka) was not trying to overshadow the Chosen One, rather she added to his story and became her own unique beloved character, especially by Wrong Jedi did she sway me with that arch, it even answered why we did not know Ani had an apprentice b...
