Behold, What Manner of Love...(McClaren's Commentary on 1 John 1:3)

  If you have never looked on that love, I beseech you now to turn aside and see this great sight.  Do not let that brightness burn unnoticed while your eyes are fixed on the ground, like the gaze of men absorbed in gold digging, while a glorious sunshine is flushing the eastern sky. Look to the unspeakable, incomparable, immeasurable love of God, in giving up His Son to death for us all. Look and be saved. Look and live. ‘Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed on you,’ and, beholding, you will become the sons and daughters of the Lord God Almighty. Taken from McClaren's Bible Commentary on Biblehub: The old commentors had a way with words in expressing spiritual truth that ignite our thirst for the Divine. This morning, I paused from my study of the current political upset by DJT (and his accomplice, Elon Musk) that is a study in, as Elon spoke, "Dark, Gothic MAGA" to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord.

Elon's Grok

Elon's AI image maker and chatbot, Grok, takes its name from a science fiction novel in which a Martian comes to earth and starts a church called the Church of All Worlds.

In Heinlein's invented Martian language, "grok" literally means "to drink" and figuratively means "to comprehend", "to love", and "to be one with". The word rapidly became common parlance among science fiction fans, hippies, and later computer programmers [ 20 ]  and hackers, [ 21 ]  and has since entered the  Oxford English Dictionary . [ 22 ] When I consider these words, drinking, loving, unity, and revelation (comprehension), I immediately think of God's word. The Word is that Living Water that we drink to grow in our knowledge of God, but in this st

October Signs in the Sun at Feast of Trumpets

  Did you know that God is a planner? He does everything according to His day planner, otherwise known as the feasts of the Lord. We are entering into the season of the fall feasts which round out God's salvation plan with the return of Christ, Israel's redemption, and God's return to the earth. So celestial markers during the fall feasts are very noteworthy, and this year things are quite active in the skies. “And there shall be signs in the sun , and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;  26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”     Would you believe we had the largest solar sto
