We are still here... Busy is all as always....
The erosion of any morality or cleaving to the laws of God continues.
Grotesque reports abound..

That last article is lacking in any reference of course to Jesus; the bland God-made-how-we-would -like-him..... Seeing "religion" for what can be got from it - not the giving of self and desires that faith in Jesus is.
The laws of God are affirmed by Jesus, not set aside.
Marriage is one man, one woman.. parenthood is a man and a woman. Period.
There is left little or no humility; no seeing all we are given as grace and privilege, nothing a right to be demanded.
So now we who know and love the Lord Jesus, are set to one side; we march thankfully to His drumbeat and heartbeat and His only.
And we choose Jesus; to love all, but always to cleave to His Word Who is the Word of God.
Not rewriting it to suit our desires and lusts
Our security is in Him; not in human approval or condemnation.
And now the row widens and deepens, and the "gay lobby" shows itself as having all the "qualities" of an Inquisition; attemptingt force their thinking on all.

(Soon here it will be a crime to gainsay this.)

And the Church, which is the only agency that "could" have, by purity and example, living the words of Jesus in truth, is a lost and degraded voice, because it has embraced all the evils it professes are sin.
The salt it has has lost its savour; the light is hidden.
And yet, Jesus is alive and He is Lord.
So it is for each of us who know and love Him to live that salt and light, quietly and in every way we are given.
To let His love shine through us to a world that is bewildered.
The "ordinary" folk who will buy from us as we sit in the weekend's storms, then, as they are leaving, "Say a prayer for me..."
Who will give more than what they buy costs, because they know that it will save a baby.
That is Jesus... Full and true.
Blessings this day and every day...
