Rev. David D. Bigger
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
REV. D. D. BIGGER, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, of Tiffin, was born in Pittsburgh, Penn., May 18, 1849, and descends from a people prominent in connection with Presbyterian Church work in this country on both sides of his parentage. His father, the late Rev. Matthew Bigger, D. D., of Bushnell, Ill., was a son of David Bigger, of New Concord, Ohio, who was prominent there as a pioneer farmer, tanner, and an active United Presbyterian churchman, was of Scotch-Irish ancestry, and of direct lineal descent from.............
758 - BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:
the Biggars, of Biggar, Lanarkshire, Scotland. His family consisted of four sons and four daughters, of whom Matthew, the eldest, took prominence in connection with educational institutions, notably in West Virginia and in Illinois, and another son was the Hon. David Proudfit Bigger, M. D., of Missouri, and, more professionally, consulting surgeon of the Union Pacific Railway.
The mother of our subject was Mary Jane Cunningham, daughter of John Cunningham a native of Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, of Scotch-Irish extraction, and who reared a family of four sons and four daughters, of whom are Thomas Mitchell Cunningham, D. D., prominently known in this country in connection with the Presbyterian Church, and James Cunningham, M. D., of Monmouth, Ill., a physician of repute, and an ardent churchman.
It may be said in this connection that both the Bigger and Cunningham families' love for the faith was no less marked than their love of their early nationality, of which, in some of the earlier mention of these families' annals and reminiscences, their native heather, where they could worship openly, became talismanic. The subject of our sketch spent his early life in Monmouth (whither his father had removed in connection with the- Presbyterian Theological Seminary there) and was educated there and at Chicago. He completed his academical education at Monmouth and graduated in a collegiate course there in 1875. He then entered the Seminary of the Northwest at Chicago in a theological course, and graduated from that institution, under the presidency of F. L. Patton, D. D., LL. D., in 1878.
He had received a license to preach in the preceding year, and had during his stay in Chicago been very active in connection with mission work, with the Presbyterian Church there, so that upon graduating he felt better able to combat his work, and accepted his present call, in May, following his graduation, and circumstances have proved his better judgment (see church history).
He married in La Porte, Ind., May 23, 1878, Miss Sarah Louisa Breese, daughter of John H. and Harriet (Bowers) Breese, natives, respectively, of New York and Vermont. They have two sons and one daughter: Paul Breese, Matthew Leon and Genevieve Marie. Mr. Bigger, while being an ardent minister, is an excellent citizen; of a suave and affable disposition, he gathers around him many friends not controlled by his ecclesiastical teachings, and in this connection may probably trace an important incentive to the marked growth of the Presbyterian Church here since his advent. In stature he is of medium height, of good physique, and, on the rostrum, he is a deep reasoner, a forcible debater and an eloquent speaker.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Boy Scouts of America will celebrate 100 years of partnership with an event Tuesday night at the LDS conference center in Salt Lake City
The presentation, called “A Century of Honor,” will feature songs from a Boy Scouts choir, historical reenactments and videos showing important historical events. It will be broadcast live around the country in English and Spanish.
Mormon church leaders and national Boy Scouts leaders are expected to attend.
The bond between the two organizations was born in the early 1900s from mutual values and principles.
In May, the church threw its support behind the Boy Scouts’ new policy that allows gay youth to join the ranks, while continuing to ban gay adult Scout leaders.

Safety or Significance
Trading in the Promise of Significance for a Lie
Fifteen years ago I woke up on a normal Tuesday morning and turned on the TV as I got ready for work. What I saw was unbelievable. Iconic buildings burning. People trapped. A plane, no, two planes, commercial planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City. As the day progressed and the story developed, the buildings collapsed, the world was changed.
Everybody old enough to remember the events of 9/11 recalls where they were that dreadful day. Everybody old enough can tell you how that horrifying day affected them.
The effect for me of that day was a little different; a deep sadness that transcended the terrorist attacks. A sadness and confusion that flowed from the voices of many people of faith. Not the voicing of shock — they were appropriately shocked and appalled like everybody was. Not in the expressions of grief as they mourned the horrific loss. What affected me, beyond those shared emotions, was how person after person described how that dark Tuesday changed the way they viewed their lives, their day-to-day outlook, their sense of security, hope and peace.
I repeatedly heard the same question, often with deep despair: “How can I ever feel secure?” “All of those people went to work like any other day, but didn’t come home.” “How can I ever feel secure again, anything can happen now.”
What surprised and saddened me was not that people had their sense of security rocked, that’s understandable. I was shocked however by how universally people — including people of faith — spoke of the attacks of 9/11, and still do today, as having instantaneously shifted reality. In a moment, we had collectively moved from a reality of safety and security to one of precariousness and insecurity. Everything had changed.
But had it? Had we really shifted in that moment from safety to danger, from certainty and predictability to chaos? No, not at all. What really happened was that the illusion of safety and security had been exposed. Before 9/11 and after 9/11 people went to work expecting to come home and some did not. Accidents, medical emergencies, natural disasters, violence — there was no guarantee.
On 9/11, the guarantee of safety was revealed to be a myth, which exposed the bigger and more dangerous myth that God wants you safe. God wants you comfortable. God wants you to be happy.
For years we have preached a false gospel, a gospel of security, which is a lie. Sadly, when the light of truth was shined on this lie fifteen years ago, so many followers of Jesus did not embrace the truth but doubled down on the lie, thinking that the answer to their angst was found in more safety, more security. Rather than exposing the myth of safety as the fraud that it is, much of the church has moved more fully into the myth of God-ordained security.
The reality is God has never promised safety and security. Jesus came as the Kingdom bringer and his mission was a dangerous, literally revolutionary! It is one that upset the status quo. If you have not seen that part of Jesus you have missed Jesus. It definitely was not a mission of safety. When Jesus said, “Follow me,” he was not inviting people into security, but away from it. His invitation was not to safety but to significance. And his invitation has not changed. Jesus is still inviting us to significance. God’s will for us is not about comfort, but about contribution. God will never choose safety over significance because he created us for a purpose and an impact; created for a life of meaning.
Jesus says, “A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.” (John 10:10) How big are your dreams? What is the “good life”? What does significance look like to you? Do you have a cause or a call that you would be willing to risk your life for? The attacks of 9/11 cost nearly 3,000 lives. Truly a great tragedy, but one that so often lays hidden is that so many of us lay our gift of significance on the false altar of safety and tragically lose the life we were meant to live.

Message From Pastor Teresa
Stirred Not Shaken - March 22, 2020
A New Day:
At Christian Covenant Church we’ve just entered our Jubilee year – our Golden Jubilee – celebrating 50 years in ministry. As described in Leviticus 25, the year of Jubilee was a time of new beginnings – fresh start, clean slate, new opportunities. It’s a new day! As we look back over the past 50 years, there have been good times and there has been times that were not so good but both have gotten to where we are today. In this era, God is granting us new opportunity and new grace as we venture into the next 50 years.
In moving forward, it is time for a paradigm shift. A paradigm shift is an important change that happens when the usual way of thinking about or doing something is replaced by a new and different way. It is time for us to go “north” – to venture into territory that is unfamiliar; a time to explore what has been hidden – not from us but for us; a time to expand our borders; a time to take our light into dark places; and a time to be bold and launch out into the deep. Let’s recall that when God told Moses and the Israelites to go northward in Deuteronomy 2, God said, “you have wandered here long enough. It’s time to go north.” ...
Sisters in Covenant is a great opportunity for women of all ages to gather together and celebrate the blessing that women are to the Body of Christ. (Read More)

All churches are built for a reason, and the three main historical churches in Egypt were no different. The first on we saw was built where mother Mary took baby Jesus to hide. The second was built over a piece of land that they found the footprints of mosses. The last church is called the hanging church and is called that because it was built over roman ruins.
All though I went on the trip thinking the pyramids were going to be the most memorable things I saw, I was wrong. The churches are the one thing I came back with the most memorable moments.
This trip was truly a once in a lifetime experience that I am so thank full that I was able to go on, and I know that with out ARAMFO I would have never been able to do anything like this.

Remembering Aborted Babies
On Saturday, Sept. 12th, Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life & Pro-Life Action League will co-sponsor the 8th annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children, calling on pro-life Americans to hofnor the grave sites of our aborted brothers and sisters. Solemn prayer vigils will be conducted at 54 such grave sites as well as at dozens of other sites dedicated in memory of aborted children.
Tens of thousands of these children have been retrieved & buried at grave sites across our nation. The stories of how they were killed, how they were found, and how they were buried, along with the pictures and videos that document those events, are powerful tools to awaken the consciences of our fellow citizens. But while a funeral and burial for an aborted baby may be a relatively rare event, the opportunity to visit the burial places and recall how those children got there shouldn’t be.
The first National Day of Remembrance was held in Sept. 2013 on the 25th anniversary of the solemn burial of the earthly remains of some 1,500 abortion victims in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Videos from past Day of Remembrance memorial services can be found on the National Day of Remembrance Facebook page.
Pro-lifers are also encouraged to carry on the spiritual mission of the Day of Remembrance throughout the year by visiting a grave site of aborted children or other memorial site to offer prayers of mourning for the victims of abortion. You could pray one of the suggested prayers (found at its website): Prayer at a Gravesite or Memorial Site; Prayer of Mourning for Victims of Abortion; Prayer for Those Who Have Lost a Child to Abortion.
“A nation that kills its children in the womb has lost its soul.” Saint Mother Teresa
U.S. Catholic Bishops Speak Out
The U.S. Catholic Bishops have stated: that the threat of abortion remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks life itself, because it takes place within the sanctuary of the family, because of the number of lives it destroys. Despite all of the other issues we face in this nation, we are urged to pray specifically to end abortion in our country, and for the protection of human life from the moment of conception to natural death.
A Better Way to Plan Your Family
Natural Family Planning (NFP) is the most effective, natural, healthy & inexpensive system for couples trying to achieve pregnancy, couples having fertility concerns or couples planning to postpone pregnancy – all by observing natural signs of fertility.
Research shows NFP is as effective as the birth control pill (but has no hormonal side-effects), can help monitor your reproductive health, and can help strengthen the couple’s relationship. These methods successfully address: delaying or achieving pregnancy; hormonal imbalance; infertility; menstrual cycle abnormalities; endometriosis; PMS; and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
The two most popular & effective methods are the Creighton Method and the Marquette Method. Creighton relies upon the standardized observation & charting of biological markers that are essential to a woman’s health and fertility. The bio-markers also indicate abnormalities in a woman’s health. It is the only family planning system which has net- worked family planning with gynecologic and procreative healthcare, and health maintenance. Many physicians have been trained to incorporate the Creighton Method into their medical practice. It is great for those with normal or abnormal cycles or those struggling with infertility.
What sets the Marquette Method apart from most other methods is its incorporation of hormone monitoring as well as simplifying sometimes unclear signs of fertility. A woman can track her hormone levels through her cycle using the Clearblue Fertility Monitor together with the Marquette Method to identify her fertile window. This method provides clear and objective hormone readings taking much of the guesswork out of natural family planning. It is great for those with normal or abnormal cycles or postpartum.
For all NFP methods, couples need to be diligent and have plenty of self-control. They have to follow instructions completely to be successful.
To sign up for an NFP intro class, or reach trained medical providers in the NYC metro area, contact the Office of Family Life, Diocese of Paterson, NJ. [https://insidethewalls.org/nfp]
College and Dorm Life
Students typically spend only 15 hours per week in the classroom. Unfortunately, binge drinking, drug use and hook-up culture are common on most college campuses. College students report high rates of STDs, pregnancies, abortions and sexual assaults.
“That’s no way to grow in faith and maturity” says the Cardinal Newman Society (CNS). It has identified faithful Catholic colleges where “chastity and clean living are encouraged. Most of them provide single-sex dorms, which most other colleges have abandoned. Even more helpful, some preserve the privacy of bedrooms, forbid- ding opposite-sex visitors at all times of the day. We think this is ideal–a common-sense, traditional practice that protects privacy, chastity and safety” and reduces the likelihood of sexual assault against female students. At a truly faithful Catholic college, “you’ll find a culture that respects chastity, charity and virtue. And you’ll make good friends who share your priorities and values–the sort of friendships that can last a lifetime!”
CNS also sponsors a $5,000 essay contest for high school seniors. [www.newmansociety.org]
Learning or a “College Experience”?
Schools across America are fiercely competing to offer the best buildings and recreation centers, the most things to do around campus, all tied together with the biggest scholarships package. We have stopped emphasizing the bachelor’s degree and now emphasize the “college experience.” Yet professors determined to undermine even the most rooted Christians lurk on campuses far and wide. Biases exist in almost all subject areas, many of them propelled by an anti-Christian agenda.
Even if a Catholic Newman Center on a campus is active, college is hard enough without having your beliefs challenged at every turn. Unfortunately, while many colleges claim to be Catholic, few adhere to Church teaching in the classroom and on campus. [Elizabeth O’Donnell, College: a Choice of Life or Death, Ave Maria Magazine, Summer 2020]
U.S. Birthrate Hits New Low
“American women had babies at record-low rates last year and pushed U.S. births down to their smallest total in 35 years, according to federal figures. The total fertility rate, i.e., the average number of babies a woman would have over her lifetime, ticked down to 1.7 in 2019. Almost every year since 1971, that rate has been below 2.1, which is the level needed for the population to replace itself, without accounting for immigration.” [Wall Street Journal, 5/20/20]
Preparing for October
Each year the month of October is designated as Respect Life Month. Some of the activities that will be available to us include prayerful participation in the one-day National Life Chain, “baby showers” that solicit donations of clothing for pregnant moms, and sign-ups for the March of Life (in January). Some parishes may host guest speakers or discuss films. In addition, the 40 Days for Life campaign for picketing Planned Parenthood will be in full swing during the month, having started on September 23rd.
Jesus, Son of an Unwed Mom
“As Christians we first met Jesus as a stirring embryo in the womb of an unwed mother and saw him born 9 months later in the poverty of the cave. It’s no coincidence that Jesus stood up for what was just and was ultimately crucified because what he said wasn’t politically correct or fashionable. As followers of Christ we are called to stand up for life. Against the politically correct or fashionable of today we must fight against a legislative agenda that supports and even celebrates destroying life in the womb. The laws we create define how we see our humanity. We must ask ourselves, what are we saying when we go into a room and snuff out an innocent, powerless, voiceless life?”
So said soldier, surgeon and religious sister Deirdre Byrne. A retired colonel in the U.S. Army and a member of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Byrne has done missionary work with the poor and sick across the globe, including in countries like Haiti, Sudan and Kenya. During her time in the military, she discerned a religious vocation, and sought a religious order that would not require her to give up her work in the medical field. Her discernment led Byrne to her order, an Italian pontifical institute founded in the late 19th century with the primary apostolates of teaching and medical care, and present in Washington DC since 1954.
“The largest marginalized group in the world can be found in the U.S. They are the unborn,” she said. “As a physician I can say without hesitation, life begins at conception.”
At his party’s convention, the U.S. President said: “On September 11, 2001, the sister raced to Ground Zero, through smoke and debris, she administered first aid and comfort to all. Today Sister Byrne runs a medical clinic serving the poor in our nation’s capital. Sister, thank you for your lifetime of service. Thank you.” [www.LifeNews.com, 8/27/20]

“Keep Pressing On” Fall Sharathon
Where should I start? Where does everything start? With a promise. We live lives of promise: promises we make to others and promises others make to us. We serve a God of promise. His Word, the Bible, is full of promises. And though sometimes we fall short on the promises we make, God always fulfills His promises!
We live lives of promise…
Think of the promise that Jesus gave His disciples: that after He returned to the Father, the Holy Spirit would come. Can you imagine what they were thinking as they watched Him ascend to Heaven? What would they do now? Who would guide them? I’m sure they were holding on to that promise! We skim right over the wait in a few seconds. It was not much more than a week, but I’m sure it felt like an eternity as the days drug on in hope, expectation, and I’m sure even fear, over what the Promise would be, and if and when it would come. But their fears were dashed and their hopes fulfilled as God poured out His Spirit at Pentecost!
Their fears were dashed and their hopes fulfilled!
We also have the promise we build our lives upon: that Jesus is coming back just like He said. As a church, we’ve waited thousands of years. Personally, we’ve waited our entire lives. And we continue to wait, expectantly, knowing that it will happen, because He is a God of promise. And He always keeps His promises.
He always keeps His promises.
The point is not the length of time it takes to see the promise fulfilled. The point is that it’s the same God who makes the promises and He always fulfills them. Our job is to trust Him, to stay faithful, and to Keep Pressing On. That’s the theme of our Fall Sharathon. We seek to stay faithful in the work He has called us to, and to encourage you in the same path each and every day. “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 (NIV)
Our job is to trust Him, stay faithful, and Keep Pressing On!
God has also given Mountain Gospel Radio a promise. It is the promise of property, a tower, and a new transmitter proclaiming the Gospel through FM radio in Powell County and the surrounding area, reaching more people than we ever have before. He has already granted us the license, thirty-five percent of the funding, and Scripture verse after verse to confirm that He will complete the work that He has begun.
We know that with every promise God makes, it is something bigger than us. The promise generally takes some time to fulfill. And it often requires a miracle to complete. That is definitely true for this promise. We knew going into the project that it was much bigger than we were, but God was leading the way. It has taken time, and through that time we have seen God do some amazing things and orchestrate situations, and it isn’t over yet. He is still working! God has promised, and we are trusting Him for a miracle to fulfill that promise.
With every promise God makes, it is something bigger than us.
Sometimes God works miracles through the extraordinary. These are the miracles we love! Amazing experiences like the parting of the Red Sea, manna from Heaven, or walls tumbling down after marching around them. But oftentimes God is working miracles through the ordinary, and we aren’t as quick to notice them. The sun rising every day, the next breath of air we take, the stranger that shows up to help in a time of need – all of these are miracles. My prayer is that we don’t take these every day miracles for granted.
We shouldn’t take these everyday miracles for granted.
We know that it will take a miracle for God to fulfill His promise to finish this project. In fact, we’ve already seen several miracles to get us this far. We don’t know if God will use extraordinary miracles, or perhaps things we might consider more as every day miracles. Most likely, He will use a combination of both. Again, it isn’t our job to figure out how He will do it; it is simply our job to trust Him to do it.
It is simply our job to trust Him.
Thank you for being a part of the Mountain Gospel promise. Thank you for your prayers, your involvement, and your anticipation as you come alongside us on this faith journey. I truly believe that the plan God is working out isn’t just for the folks at the radio station. It is for all of our listeners, supporters, and communities we serve.
Will you be a part of God’s miracle to fund the remaining $145,000 to finish this project by the end of next year? It may be in a way that you might consider ordinary. Or perhaps God is calling you in an extraordinary way. He will use the combination of both to work the miracle to finish this project.
We need to raise $25,000 this Sharathon to cover our operational costs and keep Mountain Gospel moving forward. I’m not asking you to do what someone else can do. I’m asking you to do what you can do. God makes up the difference! Will you help us with your best gift?
Thank you for being a part of the Mountain Gospel Promise!!
Please join us in the festivities of Sharathon all week from Tuesday, October 2 through Friday, October 4 with special guests throughout the day, live singers from 7-9 each evening and an Ed Carpenter fish fry and concert featuring The Rochesters, the Gilberts, and the Common Bond Quartet on the Vancleve studio grounds Friday from 4-8pm.

The Bride of the Messiah
The Bride of the Messiah is discussed in several places in scripture. Matthew 22:1-14 talks about the wedding between the Messiah and His Bride and also discusses the presence of several "guests". Who are these "guests"? Psalm 45:10-17 speaks to the bride of the Messiah and it talks about her "virgin companions" in Ps 45:14. Who are these "virgin companions"?
The answer to these puzzling questions in found in the Book of the Song of Solomon, which describes the bride in an allegorical way. The entire book is devoted to describing our relationship with Him. All believers are betrothed to Him when they believe, but Song of Solomon explains why some people who are betrothed to Him will not marry Him or might become something other than a "wife".
One important key is in Song of Solomon 8:8 which says
"We have a young sister and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for her on the day she is spoken for?"
When we follow Y'shua (Jesus), He betroths himself to a baby believer. But that baby believer must grow up and reach a marriageable age. He won't marry a baby. The scriptures are telling us here, symbolically, that maturity is an element in becoming a wife. We see this process discussed in Y'Chezke'el/Ezekiel 16 where it says...
"On the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to make you clean, nor were you rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths. 5 No one looked on you with pity or had compassion enough to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised.
6 " 'Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, "Live!" 7 I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew up and developed and became the most beautiful of jewels. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, you who were naked and bare.
8 " 'Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign L-RD, and you became mine. " (Ezek/Yech 16:5-8)
SofS 6:8 talks about 4 classes of believers. It talks about:
"Sixty queens there may be,
and eighty concubines,
and virgins beyond number;
9 but my dove, my perfect one, is unique,
the only daughter of her mother,
the favorite of the one who bore her.
The maidens saw her and called her blessed;
the queens and concubines praised her." (SofS 6:8-9)
It should be easy to figure out who the "virgins" are. I see the "virgins" as those who are just barely saved from their sins, cleansed from their sins, but little or nothing more than that. As for the concubines; I see them as believers who want a relationship with God on their own terms (a concubine is someone you basically use).
|I've always been impressed that the "dove" or "perfect one" is the one in SofS that has the burning relationship with the Messiah. The one who "prays without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17) naturally, because everything s/he does, whether it's mow the grass, go to work, feed the kids, it's all an interruption to prayer. Everything I must "do" in life should be considered an interruption to prayer.|
But who are they "queens"? I think this may be related to obedience. Here's why. Y'shua said those who are faithful in small things will be put in charge of big things. So those that are close to G-d on earth will be close to G-d in Heaven. And those that are obedient on earth will help execute the rules others are to obey when the time for us to reign with Him comes.
The numbers associated with the "queens" and "concubines" also seem to lend credence to this interpretation. These numbers have symbolic meaning. You have to think about the creative forces to get this one. 80 is connected in Hebrew tradition (and supported by scripture) to the Hebrew letter Pey which is connected to a mouth, the most revealed part of something, or the beginning part of something. This fits the "concubines", because that's the beginning part of having a relationship with God, but not the end of it. You need to move beyond having relationship with God on your terms and move into a relationship on His terms, with a full commitment to His ways. So you might start as a concubine, but to be a bride, we must grow up and move on to accepting the relationship on His terms.
60 is connected in Hebrew tradition to support, protection and repentance/obedience. The role of a government is to protect it's citizens, so that connection makes sense. And if reigning is a reward based on obedience, the other part of the symbolism behind 60 makes sense too! WOW!
It's possible that someone could be in more than one category. You can have people who are obedient, but not walking closely with God, like Enoch did. Or sometimes you find people who are close to God but stumble with sin a lot. David was very personal, and some of his sins were a direct result of the fact that he was so personable. Like committing adultery and refusing to discipline his kids, such as Absalom. He sinned by wanting to be closer to them and putting the closeness of his relationship with his kids and Bathsheba above God's word. But it's more common to find obedience without closeness than closeness without obedience. Closeness helps you obey, but obedience may not draw you into closeness anywhere near as much. Being close to God should always be our #1 yardstick of where our spiritual walk is, but it's not for most of us. So there may be Queens who are not the bride and members of the bride who are not queens.
The scriptures lists 3 kings that were at an extreme at something.
But only David died in a manner that glorified God. I see Solomon and Josiah in the "queen" category and David in the "bride".
One of the best ways to find out what category you're in is ask yourself - what would I rather do? Read the Scriptures or pray? The bride would rather pray. She reads because it helps her figure out what to pray. She probably prays while she's reading. She reads very prayerfully, so she hears more than those who just read and read.
Now notice the bride is called God's "dove". What does this mean? Well, a dove is used as a symbol for God's most favored person in SofS 5:2, SofS 6:9, and Psalms 74:19. In the gospels, we're told the Holy Spirit descended on Y'shua in the form of a dove. I think maybe this represents how Y'shua was "the favorite" or the "anointed" or most special to God among all. Some have suggested that the dove is a symbol of the Spirit, but I think that may be a case of mistaking the context the dove was used in for what it represented - in this case - God's Special One.
In the Torah, God commanded Israel to sacrifice doves. Why? Romans 12:1 says "to offer your bodies as living sacrifices". I think this represents in the spiritual realm how we're suppose to sacrifice our most special desires to Him, since the dove is something used as a symbol of what is most special. We are to give those over to Him. The entire Torah is a spiritual blueprint of how the heavenly kingdom works.
The dove sacrifice could be either a "turtle dove" or a "sons of a dove". The "sons" would represent our desires in an immature state - conceived, but not yet fulfilled. God wants us to sacrifice our desires to Him BEFORE they become very mature. Else, if we pursue our desires and fail to find happiness in them, we are filled with regret and we repent out of utilitarian motives, rather than in submission to Him, which is the way He'd prefer us to repent. But we are to sacrifice those desires no matter how far along they are and whether we've figured out through experience why those desires are incomplete without Him or whether we just accept that as blind faith. The "sons" could also represent the things that come out of those desires.
There's a fifth class discussed in other verses. Such as the "maidens". Song of Solomon 6:9 says, "my dove, my perfect one, is unique, the only daughter of her mother, the favorite of the one who bore her. The maidens saw her and called her blessed; the queens and concubines praised her." Who are the "maidens"? Well, they are those who first off, have great respect for who God is. (See SofS 1:3). But maybe she's the pre-marritable bride, since it says in Isaiah 62:5 "As a young man marries a maiden" but then I read Song of Solomon 2:2 "Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens" and have to wonder if that's the case or not.
But yes, G-d is speaking volumes in these verses. When SofS describes the "beauty" of the "dove", it's describing the characteristics the bride will have through symbolism. For example, SofS 8:10 says,
"I am a wall and my breasts are like towers, thus I have become like one bringing contemptment..."
The "wall" here is a symbol that she is a divisive person. "Breasts are like towers" means that she is a mature person - or at least, had the opportunity to mature. Yet she is not acting in accordance with her maturity, since she is a "wall" that separates two things. So because she knows better it says "I have become line one bringing contemptment".
SofS 8:9 is an action plan for what to do to cause a baby to grow up so she will reach the age of marriage. But to understand it, you must first understand the basics. Like the Creative Forces, etc. For example, it says,
"If she is a wall, we will build towers of silver on her"
Now a wall does nothing but divide two things, but a tower can contain something. Thus this refers to moving her into becoming a "Beyit" - a strong one at that, made of a precious metal. The concept of a "tower" is used in the next verse to indicate maturity, so this speaks to us of finishing something (as a strong tower) that was started (as only a wall).
G-d can definitely say sooooooooo much in a few words.


Although we are blessed with an abundance of abortion healing curriculums in the pro-life movement, no one knows survivors like fellow survivors. No ministry has existed to provide help and hope to survivors. No platform has existed for survivors to use their voices from that was uniquely created with their strengths and needs in mind.
The Abortion Survivors Network is known for humanizing abortion through education and outreach, challenging the lies that abortions don’t fail and children don’t survive them, but many people don’t know, is that we offer personalized support to survivors–from help with obtaining medical records to sharing your story, peer support in a community who understands what it’s like to be in your shoes, and healing support, we are here for you!
Our healing workbook is available free of charge to any survivor. If you’re a mental health professional or abortion healing leader who would like a copy for your work, we’d love to equip you, too! If you’d like a copy, please send us an email. It’s created to help you take a deeper look at all the thoughts, feelings, experiences that have made you uniquely you, including surviving an abortion. It helps you peel back the layers of rejection, struggles with trust and self-worth, to find strength and acceptance of who you are. It gives you practical ideas on how to cope in a world that sees abortion as a choice and a right, and how to have courage in the face of others’ perceptions of you and about abortion.
I know many survivors are fearful of sharing their story. I know how hard it is to share the deepest, most raw parts of you with others. I know many want to walk through the workbook alone. Just know that we are always here for you as you walk through it. We can meet with you one on one virtually, or, when you’re ready, we can also add you to one of our small groups of survivors who work through the workbook together. By small group, I do mean SMALL, we have groups of three survivors work through the workbook together at a time.
Although there’s so much I want to share with you from the curriculum, I wanted to share an excerpt with you, which also gives you some insight into our logo and slogan: The Abortion Survivors Network: More Than A Choice.
You Are More.
As a fellow abortion survivor, there’s so much I want you to know. This healing workbook is my opportunity to share many of those things with you as you walk out your journey. If I could sum it up in three short words, though, here’s what I’d like you to know more than anything else:
You are more.
You are more than your mother’s decision to abort you.
You are more than the coercion and force that your father, your parents’ family members, medical professionals, or even clergy exerted on her to have the abortion.
You are more than the type of procedure that you endured and survived.
You are more than the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual difficulties you’ve faced in your life.
You are more than the prognosis that the doctors had regarding your future.
You are more than what family members who are burdened by life and the decisions they made about yours, have to say about you.
You are more than a choice. You are more than a “woman’s right.”
You are more than another statistic.
You are YOU, survivor and all.
The reality is, though, that although you are so much more than the circumstances surrounding your birth, surviving an abortion impacts every facet of your life. It shapes who you are, how you see yourself, how you view others and the world, and how you live your life.
Everyone’s healing process is different, just as everyone’s survival is, but there are many common experiences, thoughts and feelings, struggles and questions. It’s my hope that this workbook supports you in your journey to processing your experiences, finding further healing and strength, and embracing you, survivor and all.

Pope Benedict and the future Pope Francis in Masonic (thumb on knuckle) grip. Jewish Masonry has now completely subverted the Catholic Church. Click to enlarge
In 1936, two Catholic newspapers published excerpts from speeches given at a B’nai Brith conclave in Paris. The speeches expressed contempt for goyim gullibility, cravenness, and venality.
“And the Gentiles, in their stupidity, have proved easier dupes than we expected them to be. One would expect more intelligence and more practical common sense, but they are no better than a herd of sheep. Let them graze in our fields till they become fat enough to be worthy of being immolated to our future King of the World…”
Secret Jewish Plot Unveiled by the Catholic Gazette of England — (Last Posted here Jan 23, 2017)
In the London Catholic Gazette of February 1936, a sensational article was published under the heading: “The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church”.
The monthly organ of the Catholic Missionary Society of England was quoting speeches delivered in a series of secret Jewish meetings in Paris.
A few weeks later, the Parisian weekly “Le Reveil du Peuple” published a similar account, adding that the statements had been made at a recent convention of the B’nai B’rith (secret Masonic order in which no Gentile is admitted) held in Paris.
The article from the “Catholic Gazette” read as follows:
“THE JEWISH PERIL AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH”


On Sunday (Mar. 17), DMX led a prayer during Kanye West’s church service.
“I am God’s favorite child. No good thing will he withhold from me. Because I’m God’s favorite my enemies can not triumph over me,” DMX prayed.
“I have supernatural increase and promotion…Because I am highly favored by God I experience great victories, supernatural turn arounds, miraculous breakthroughs in the midst of greater possibilities.”
DMX is no stranger to praying. The rapper is known for praying on the interludes of his albums and during his live shows.

Letter to the Editor: ban the use of any symbol of hate in Rodeo Parade!
As a God-fearing, gun packing, loyal wife, and mom of four- I have something I'd like to say.
The last few months have tested all of our faiths to the very core. We have been taught countless lessons of patience and humility, while in our homes, quarantined. Each day I am reminded of my love for my family and our core values as Christians and as Americans. If we turn on the TV 'Fox' is filled with story after Story of bad news this and bad news that!
But recently I was happy to see the Lord's silver lining in the storm clouds! Did y'all see the story about how NASCAR banned the use of Confederate flags!? At first, that got me stewed! But then I started thinking what does this thing represent that I am so angry about? What does it mean to me.?
Scripture tells us "May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions". and Philippians 4:13 tells us "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
So if Jesus is above this, why aren't I. I should be a leader for my fellow people bringing them to the Salvation of the church. Not waving a flag of somebody else's past, this is my story, this is my life! So following the Lord's lead I went through our whole home and purged it of all the relics of the past. The ones that the Lord called "false Idols" but he didn't stop there the Lord came to me in a dream last night, he said "Annette, "be strong for I was strong and you are me".
I knew then it was my calling to save my family and the rest of creation from this evil past. For this reason I'm calling on the Bonifay Kiwanis Club to immediately ban the use of any symbol of hate in this year's or any future years Rodeo or Rodeo Parade!
The rodeo is a place for family and fellowship. It should be the welcome mat for our community and for everybody. I'd like a response as soon as possible. If you don't listen to the Lord we will call to boycott the rodeo.
Yours, a concerned mom and sister in Christ.
Annette Bradshaw, Bonifay FL.

9 November 2014
Good morning Brothers and Sisters of the Annandale Ward. For those of you I have not met, and for those that can't remember my tricky Danish name: I’m Elder Falslev and I am from Logan, Utah. I have been serving in this area for about four weeks now. It is indeed a pleasure to be able to serve alongside you in the marvelous work of the Lord, and especially at this time of The Hastening.
Elder Teh of the Seventy spoke in the recent April General Conference extending to us a caution; "There is no end to what the world has to offer, so it is critical that we learn to recognize when we have enough. If we are not careful, we will begin to chase after the temporal more than the spiritual."
With the Savior's eternal perspective, He taught:
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." (Matthew 6:19–20)
When we read this passage the first word that leaps out at us is "treasures." Treasures are simply things we value and therefore want to have. We want to find, work for, keep, and use treasures.
Now let's start with the earth. There are things on the earth that support us - food, clothing and shelter; and we work from day to day in order to have these things. Beyond the basics - in our age especially, there are other things we value and want to possess - a means of transportation; various methods of communication; all kinds of things from necessary to nice. There are these things we treasure here on the earth - we work to have them and store them up for future use.
Now Jesus says there are treasures in heaven. We are all well aware of the treasures we have on earth, the things we value and need to have for our existence. Though, there are things which are more valuable than food, clothing and shelter. There are commodities far more precious than the inventions of the world. Treasures in heaven: Things we should value and want to have, because they come from God, bring us closer to Him, make us better people and prepare us for a happy eternity after death!
The more we think about this the more obvious it all is! The treasures of earth lie in the realm of places, things, material commodities, worldly values - the tangible and temporal. The treasures of heaven lie in the realm of the spiritual - forgiveness, a relationship with God, the power of prayer, the development of character, the love of God and His Children, and the hope of living with Him again.
While preparing this talk I asked a few investigators, fellow missionaries, and members what they considered to be a treasure of the earth... It was interesting to hear many mention money.
Somebody said, “Money can’t buy happiness." And someone has pointed out that if there is anyone who can’t buy happiness with money it must be that he just doesn’t know where to shop. It is interesting to recognize that we build temples with money; we can send out missionaries with money, we can build educational institutions, operate hospitals, and pay our tithing with money. We can feed and clothe our families with money, and in many ways we can build up the kingdom of God with money.
God is a very wealthy individual. We all like to inherit from a wealthy parent and what could be more exciting than to inherit from God, to get everything that He has. Heavenly Father is very thrifty; He is also very wise and very generous. To begin with, He created us in his own image and has given each of us a set of his attributes and talents. He desires that every one of us should be rich. He has said: “… the fulness of the earth is yours …” (D&C 59:16), and it pleaseth God that he has given all these things unto men to be used with judgment and thanksgiving. He has shared with us the fulness of the treasures of the earth and he desires to share with us the fulness of the treasures of heaven. He wants us to inherit the celestial kingdom. He has said that the greatest of all the gifts of God is the gift of eternal life in His presence.
Thus, "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth" does not mean we are not allowed to have money or earthly possessions. In fact, in fulfilling our responsibilities to ourselves, our families, our needy neighbors and to support the Lord's cause - it is necessary to work, to have income and to be a possessor of earthly things. Nowhere in the scriptures does God tell us that it is sinful to have income, to have money and possess earthly things. Nowhere in the scriptures will you find a rich man being punished merely because of his wealth nor will you find a poor man commended simply because of his destitution.
Money is not the problem, our misuse and love of it is.
This is about WHAT'S MORE VALUABLE; what's more important - and what lasts longer! Heavenly things are so much more valuable than earthly treasure - we ought to want heavenly things and labor and treasure heavenly things far more than earthly things.
The things of this earth have no permanence; no durability ... and we cannot take them with us. Therefore it makes no sense to devote our whole heart and life to something that will soon be gone.
Thieves can break in and steal your television, your computer and your credit cards but they cannot take away your character; they cannot remove the love of Christ from your heart; they cannot take you as a hostage out of the kingdom of God! Christ is pretty much saying to us - "If your treasures are limited to this earth... I can tell you the whole story of those things in three words --> moth, rust and theft!" That's the whole trouble with the things of this world - we can be absolutely certain that someday we will lose them!
These temporary treasures never meet our real needs; there is always something missing.
Has this ever happened to you? You get something you have been craving and the moment you get it, there is a sense of disappointment!
Earthly treasures are appealing, but they do not satisfy; they never deliver all that we expect; and besides - There is nothing as changeable and temporary as human taste. We get something, and before we have had it very long our joy in it has begun to dull, and after a while we have lost all interest in it; isn't this why we have garages and attics full of stuff? That which occupies our interest and attention this year may bore us next year. Our earthly interests are constantly fluctuating, and this is another problem when we invest all our time and energy in this world.
VERSE 21 OF MATTHEW 6 IS VERY IMPORTANT.
VERSE 21 OF MATTHEW 6 IS VERY IMPORTANT.
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Let's think about this - just in a general way: that which we treasure has great power over us! I once saw a T-shirt with this message: If they don't have chocolate in heaven, I ain't going! Perhaps that was written to over-state a point, or simply for the sake of humor. But it illustrates what Christ is talking about - that which we treasure has great power over us. It may be a certain kind of misbehavior that we treasure. It may be our career that we treasure; a hobby; a person; a place or thing. That which we treasure has great power over us; it draws us like a magnet; it exercises a tremendous grip and influence over us.
The obvious message is - we should treasure spiritual realities far above any kind of treasure this world has to offer.
Our lives should be governed by our affection for these things made available to us through the gospel. Yes - we have to earn money and use money; we have to have food, shelter, transportation. We can have nice things and save money, but our heart ought to be controlled by the heavenly treasures - spiritual blessings which cannot be touched by the moth, the rust or the robber!
Where is your treasure? I don’t know where your heart is or what your heart is longing for or serving. Only two people know that, you and God. I know that if you are serving yourself by storing up wealth or popularity or whatever it may be, that it will come to an end. It is only temporary. But if you are serving God with all your heart, might, mind, and strength, you will not be disappointed. There is an inheritance waiting for you when you return to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ again. I am calling us to repent of those things and to change our minds and our behaviors. I am calling us to repent on a daily basis, as this is a continual battle we face day in and day out. We have seen the power of the gospel and repented; that must continue every day. We must see the grace of the gospel in our daily lives and its effects day in and day out. We must live by that grace, through faith, in what is to come.
It is not so important how many valuables you may have, how much property you may possess, and how many of the honors of men you may acquire, and all those things that are so desired in the world. The thing that Heavenly Father has given to you that is worth more than all the rest is the opportunity to obtain eternal life in the celestial kingdom and be together eternally with those you loved and cherished on this earth.
It is not enough for us to merely know that there will be treasures awaiting us in heaven. When we consistently follow the Holy Spirit, in a continuous, constant spirit of prayer, the world of miracles is open to us now, in this life.
I know that we are all spirit children of a Merciful and ever Forgiving Heavenly Father who awaits our return. I know that through coming to know our Savior Jesus Christ and His Atonement we will be able to achieve that long awaited return. I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored again to the earth. I am so thankful for the opportunity I have to be a missionary and to be able to teach others these powerful truths.
I say these things, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Apparently, these longtime nuns of St. James Catholic School in Torrance knows nothing about “Thou shall not steal” from the Ten Commandments. The two nuns reportedly stole about $500,000 from the Catholic school to go gambling in Las Vegas.

From further investigation, it was found that the two gave some of the stolen money back to the school, while the rest of it was used for ‘personal purposes’.
Whatever the case may be the church is said to be not pursuing criminal charges after the nuns showed remorse. But, not everyone is happy with the decision. Some Parents of the school’s students were outraged for not taking the necessary disciplinary actions.


In my other life I’m the marketing manager at a wonderful high school here in Toowoomba, Downlands College.
A Missionaries of the Sacred Heart College, we are regularly offered retreat days, and just before Easter all staff (teachers, admin, cleaning, cooking, grounds and maintenance… everyone!) participated in a ‘mind, spirit, body’ themed day. I was asked to run a collaborative painting workshop throughout the day, so I was in my happy place.
I ran it in three sessions and each group grew in numbers as people saw what was happening and wanted to be a part of it.
