This IS The Last Days...Christians Wake Up !
This morning I woke up with a cold sweat !
God is talking to us brothers and sisters in Christ. He is telling us to be ready for His coming , He is telling us to get right with Him and light our lamps and shine our light in this dark world we are living in.
He is telling us to pray. He is telling us to be His hands and feet and proclaim the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His Holy Spirit is telling me that time is short. He is telling me that our Almighty Lord is coming soon to take His people home.
I do not care if I look a fool, for if I am a fool for Jesus then that's fine. I do not care if I am wrong about His coming , but if I am right and you were left behind because I did not warn,you I would know in my heart that I would have let you down.
The world is now having the birth pains of God;s coming judgment, things are going to get much worse unless the nations get down on their knees and repent and turn back to God. Jesus is waiting to receive as many people as possible into His Kingdom. His arms are open wide now, but they will not be open very long. Time is very short and it;s time for the children of God to pray that the Lord comes quickly, so they may be spared the coming wrath of God.
I cannot emphasize this enough, get yourselves right with God, do not worry about things of this earth. Just concentrate on spiritual tasks. Listen to what God is saying to you personally, and be strong in Him, For if we are not with Him we are against Him and as God's people we must put on the full armor of God and be ready to expel the arrows of the enemy.
Our fight is not against people but against the darkness and wickedness of this world. Against the unseen forces that are behind our governments and our military. The unseen forces behind the one percent of people who own all the commodities that make up our earth. Those people who do not care about our lives, those people who worship the devil, and enjoy seeing the citizens of the world in turmoil and suffering. Those people who are rejoicing in evil and are destroying the world in their New World Order.
So brothers and sisters, it is time for us to get on our knees and pray for our families and our friends as well as those that do not know Jesus yet. For I have been told that God;s Holy Spirit will not prevail long on this earth, that soon He will be lifted off this earth when the bride is taken home.
You all know what that means or you should do. When that happens Satan will continue his plan for the New World Order.
I do not know about you, but I feel weak, I need the filling of the Holy Spirit. I need God;s strength to stand against this darkness that is unfolding in this world. I need to read God;s Word and gain strength in that Word. I need to pray that I will not fall away, that I continue to be true to God;s Word as best I can. I need Jesus, there is nothing more I can say, I am weak but He is strong, use that strength brothers and sisters to see out these last days, use that strength to pray, worship and glorify His Holy name. You know what you should be doing, you do not need me to tell you.
You know that the world is being judged by God, the church first , and then to all those that do not believe and have turned their backs on God, who are lovers of themselves, who have shredded God;s Word and worship the darkness rather then the light. Who do evil in secret instead of bringing it into the light to be reproved by God. Time is short people..repent, believe and turn back to God now, while you still can.
I pray for all back-sliding Christians, I pray for all those whose lamps are empty, I pray for all those that do not know Jesus , I pray for all those who are in the grip of Satan. I pray in the name of Jesus against all principalities, powers and dark spirits in the air, release your hold on this world, let the light shine in , let every thing done in secret be revealed, Satan,your rule is coming to an end, the light and Glory of Jesus Christ is coming. Then comes judgment for you and all who follow you.
These are the Last Days, find Jesus while you can, believe and be saved Gospel of John Chapter 3 verse 16-21

By Steven A. Davies
It is time to say, “Merry Christmas” and to share joy. Yet as I look into the faces of people both near and far, it seems as though joy is in short supply. What many look at as being a wonderful time of the year is for many others a time of gloom. The world in which we live is one filled with problems, anxiety, frustration and angst.
The reality so many fail to realize is that the God of all creation is among us. The prophet Zephaniah of the Old Testament said this:
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
– Zephaniah 3:17 (ESV)
You may wonder if God cares about you, notices you or is aware of you. The prophet wrote that God cares, takes notice and is intimately aware of you. The declaration that the Lord God is in your midst tells us of His closeness to humanity. Whether it is the face of the super moon in the sky or an infant, we can see the hand of God. And in the darkest moments of life and on life’s mountaintops, we can know He is near.
God takes notice of us and cares for us. The prophet said He rejoices over us! That is a powerful promise in fulfillment. I remember when my children played high school sports and while watching them play, I was so interested in them and their performance. As a father, there is nothing like hearing your child’s name being announced over the speaker system for a great play.
God is our Father, and He rejoices with unlimited intensity. He rejoices over you! Whether in life as we are making the great play or when we have fallen, He rejoices over us.
And even when life is not working out, we are told, He will save us! To save means to bring to safety from peril. In this, we discover God has an awesome plan and purpose for us, and it is to know and love Him. And as I know and love Him, I become the recipient of His quieting peace.
You are loved by God. Never forget that truth. He has an amazing plan for your life. Get to know Him and then love Him. Then that wonderful promise of God who is the Father who cares for you, takes notice of you, and is intimately aware of you comes to fruition as you realize He is exulting (rejoicing) over you with loud singing.
At Christmas we celebrate once again know that God has come near and He continues to be in our midst. So allow me to tell you, “Merry Christmas,” and encourage you to share joy.
We welcome persons of all faiths and denominations to contribute to this section. Email email@example.com.


Pope Benedict XVI in Stará Boleslav
Pope Benedict XVI came to Stará Boleslav few minutes before 9 am and entered the basilica of St. Wenceslaus. Before that he greeted all pilgrims and the Governor of the Central Bohemian Region David Rath, the local mayor and priests. In the basilica, he knelled before the Most Holy Sacrament and together with the local provost Vladimír Kellnar visited the place where St. Wenceslaus had been killed. In the basilica's crypt, he then venerated the saint's skull and admired the "Palladium of Bohemia".
Some twenty retired priests were gathered in the basilica during the Pope's visit, together with religious sisters who take care of them. The Holy Father greeted them cordially and imparted his apostolic blessing on them. After a thirty-minute-long visit Benedict XVI left the basilica and traveled to the place where the mass was to be held.

Diversity and Inclusion
Xavier's commitment to diversity and inclusion is enshrined in the first sentence of our mission, which calls us to educate "intelligent, motivated young men of diverse backgrounds and means." As a school community, we believe deeply in the words of Night Will Be No More, a 2019 pastoral letter to the people of God in El Paso, Texas: "Every race and color and tribe and people and language and culture are threads in the vibrant and diverse tapestry of the Reign of God."
Informed by the teachings of the Catholic Church and the Ignatian challenge to encounter God in all things, Xavier's diversity and inclusion work takes many forms. Xavier's Council for Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity (XCEID), a group of faculty members, students, and parents, aims to inspire meaningful, courageous conversations about race, identity, and inclusion throughout the school year and especially on Xavier's annual St. Peter Claver Day.
Xavier’s Office of Alumni Relations hosts various diversity-themed programs for Sons of Xavier, including the Different Uniforms, Same Cloth conversation series, and oversees the Maroon, Blue, and Black Initiative—a group (once known as the Minority Alumni Council) open to alumni of color that hosts programming for the entire community. Xavier’s administration has also hosted a series of professional development days, conversations with the faculty, and schoolwide reads about topics related to diversity and inclusion.
“Xavier’s mission clearly defines our role as a Jesuit school in the 21st century. How we educate young men of diverse backgrounds and means is the question that diversity asks of all of us. How will we each serve one another justly? Christ’s teachings make it clear that we must love and walk with one another and judge impartially. When we—students, faculty, parents, alumni, and other community members—choose to do that, we gain a more comprehensive understanding of different perspectives and the world around us. This understanding allows us to better utilize our own strengths to truly transform the world for God’s greater glory.”
Zane Massey ’96 P’22, Director of Alumni Relations and Co-Moderator of XCEID


Portland Parish Church (Christ Church) was designed in the neo-Romanesque style by English architect, Annesley Voysey and was completed around 1840. He died before the construction was complete. Christ Church was severely damaged in a 1903 hurricane, restored around 1911 and still stands today on a little hill overlooking both the sea and its town.
Photo 1: Christ Church, Portland, Jamaica
Photo 3: Sign outside of Christ Church with brief history
Photo 4: View down the centre aisle of the church showing pews (a modern addition to churches) on both sides. Notice the beautiful stained glass at the front? Of note is the pulpit from which sermons are preached, a western addition to the church (left) and the lectern (right). The lectern is of solid gold and normally takes the form of a fearsome bird of prey, this is where the Bible rests for reading. Behind the lectern to the wall is the church organ, an expensive instrument. The chancel step normally separate the pews from the holier parts of the church namely the chancel and altar.
Photo 5: Monument to Elizabeth Prince who died June 21st 1792 mounted on the church walls by her husband.
Photo 6: Monument to Charles Bryan who died July 23, 1810, a representative of the House of Assembly of Portland, chief justice and an estate owner. Notice a sword, axe and other tools in his monument?
Photo 7: Monument to Annesley Voysey who died August 5th 1839, architect of Christ Church, quite a laborious reading…
Photo 8: A better view of the lectern, chancel step and organ. Christ church which is quite young (being built in 1830s) does not have the rod separating the chancel from the pews as in earlier churches. In this photo the choir pews can be seen.

Rome, 6 Shafar 1434/December 19, 2012 (WAFA) – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Monday met with the Holy Father Benedict XVI in the Vatican Apostolic Palace and discussed the bilateral relations and the status quo in Palestine and the Middle East.
Abbas briefed the pope on the conditions in the holy land and the Israeli violations of Islamic and Christian holy sites, especially in the occupied city of Jerusalem, according the Palestinian News Agency WAFA reports received by Mi’raj News Agency (MINA), Wednesday.
Abbas also met with the Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone accompanied by Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, secretary for Relations with States and discussed means of developing and strengthening the bilateral relations between the state of Palestine and the Vatican.
The cordial discussions made reference to the recent Resolution approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations by which Palestine was recognized as a Non-member Observer State of the aforementioned Organization.
A press release by the Press Office of the Holy See said “It is hoped that this initiative will encourage the commitment of the international community to finding a fair and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which may be reached only by resuming negotiations between the Parties, in good faith and according due respect to the rights of both.”
Earlier, Mahmoud Abbas also met with the Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti in the Italian capital Rome.
Abbas and Monti discussed the bilateral relations and means of developing and strengthening these relations, the recent developments concerning the Palestinian cause and Italy’s vote in favor of the Palestinian bid to the United Nations General Assembly. (T/R-012/R-006)

Do Modern Churches Facilitate Isolation or Community?
The last few decades have been difficult on the neighborhood church.
As population dispersed, many houses of worship built by tight-knit communities have given way to buildings surrounded by parking, so people can drive from miles away. Chuck Marohn of Strong Towns is a regular churchgoer at a one such car-oriented church. He says it sometimes reminds him of sociologist Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone, the celebrated book on isolation in modern America:
It is more than a little ironic that I’ve had more conversations with our next door neighbors of the past sixteen years in the brief moments walking in and out of church than I’ve ever had on our street or, perhaps more amazingly, in each other’s homes. When either of us travel to church, we back out of our garages, hit the automatic garage door opener to close it, drive to church, park in one of the convenient parking lots, attend church and then do the trip home in reverse. Essentially, we’re Churching Alone.
[The church] was built in the 1960’s with the typical architecture of the time; horizontal construction in a field on the edge of town with lots of parking. It met all the needs of the new, auto-based parishioner who could arrive by car, avoid the traffic rush by leaving right after communion — but before the closing hymn — and be home by kickoff. While the church can be a vibrant and communally beautiful place at times, those times are always intentional. There is no passive, deep church community vibrating in and around St. Andrews.
Marohn’s priest says his church is now “threatened” by a city proposal to install bike lanes on the street outside. The church is encouraging members to express opposition to this proposal. Marohn writes:
I’ve long wondered just how much more fulfilling our lives would be if we did not live in such isolation. If God dwells in each of our hearts — and I truly believe that is the case — then seeking to live in communion with God should mean that we seek to have lives immersed with each other. To truly live in this way cannot be an active pursuit, one in which we have to get in the car and drive 25 minutes to a parking lot at a set time for a scheduled event with a self-selected group of people. It must be passive, where our natural day-to-day existence includes random interactions with the humanity that makes up our community, be they Christian or not. Be they affluent enough to own a car or not.
Not only should we not be opposing bike lanes, church leaders around the country should be doing everything they can to reconnect the social bonds of our communities.
Elsewhere on the Network today: Dan Malouff at Beyond DC writes that opposition to transit projects like the Cincinnati Streetcar and Nashville bus rapid transit is simply unavoidable. And BikeSD takes a critical look at a $600 million highway widening project proposed for the San Diego region.

"Friar Alessandro: The Voice from Assisi"
Alessandro Brustenghi is a modest friar living in a community of Franciscans around the hilltop monastery in Assisi, Italy. He’s also the first friar in history to land a major record deal, a crossover tenor with three albums under his belt, or in this case, under his traditional friar’s white rope belt, which signifies his commitment to monastic life. In this solo concert, the Decca recording artist and UK Classic BRIT Award nominee performs in the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, the hilltop church that attracts some four million visitors a year to the burial place of St. Francis. One of the most important places of Christian pilgrimage in Italy, the basilica is decorated with astonishingly beautiful medieval frescoes by Giotto that cover the entire exterior of the upper sanctuary.
Friar Alessandro is a charming and spiritual young man with a big operatic tenor voice whose musical message of hope, peace and brotherly love is resonating with audiences across Europe and America. In THE VOICE FROM ASSISI, he is accompanied by the Orchestra da Camera di Perugia, the choir of the Basilica, and a children’s choir, the Coro Aurora. The repertoire of the program includes traditional sacred songs like “Panis Angelicus” and “Ave Maria,” as well as additional spiritual selections such as “Here I Am, Lord” and “Gaelic Blessing.”


Christmas Brunch @ Madge's House
Madge very graciously opened her house to us again this year so we could have our Ladies' Bible Class Christmas Brunch. And really, she has such a lovely home, with such cute decorations tastefully placed around the house.
We had some time to sit around and visit before the Brunch Proper. It was nice to see MaryAnn, as she had been busy with work and life in general to be a part of the bible class much. Also, a great treat was having Florinda there. We hardly ever see Florinda these days as she has to work on Friday mornings nowadays. She is so sweet and always has an encouraging word or hug for everyone.
The little boy got some Christmas money from Florinda, and some Golden Chocolate Coins as well, woohoo!
The night before, I had asked the little boy if he remembered the previous years' Christmas Brunches at Madge's house, and he said no... UNTIL I mentioned The Shelf With All The Toys, And then, there was a resounding, "Oh, YES!"
I didn't get a good picture of food in all its glory... sometimes I feel like I am missing out on what is happening live even if I can go back and look at what went on in the photographs..
I love all the little nooks in Madge's house..i.e. The Dining Nook and
Jaxon's Christmas List didn't include anything HE might want ( other than SNOW on Christmas Day ), but he said that he wanted the poor and the homeless to have enough to eat etc. or something to that effect.
So, Cindy thought she would give him some stuff to give away to the needy, instead of presents.
We haven't yet come across a needy person in the streets, but the little boy is really eager to be able to share all those goodies.

POLITICS & RELIGION
The two topics you’re not supposed to bring up in polite society, right? So, I’ll only discuss one of them today: Religion.
If you have not heard by now, Steve Johnson, the wide receiver of the Vikings’ next opponent, the Buffalo Bills, dropped what would have been a game-winning overtime touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game which the Bills ultimately lost. Found at YouTube from VideoKing1400.
During the post-game press conference, Johnson explained how devastating the loss was for him and for which he took full blame. But then shortly thereafter, he did find someone to blame…wait for it…God.
Johnson took to Twitter to point his finger at The Almighty with the following tweet:
Johnson followed this up with some explanatory tweets to try and clarify that he wasn’t blaming God.
Let’s pause here and point out that this is a young man expressing himself after an emotional loss and sometimes young men speak before they think, God knows I did.
The difference is Johnson’s got nearly 18,000 followers on Twitter and national media watching his every move.
I don’t want to pick on Johnson for an ill-advised tweet but the controversy brings up a larger issue that has always annoyed me to no end: Athletes effortlessly trotting God out for public display.
What was shocking about Johnson’s tweet was that it is the polar opposite of how everyone expects athletes’ religious commentary to sound.
Back in our day it was Cris Carter and Randall Cunningham and Mewelde Moore doing the evangelizing, prefacing every interview with praise and glory to God for their most recent outstanding athletic performance.
You know what?
I. Don’t. Care. And I suspect, neither does He. I suspect He doesn’t chose sides.
Besides, I’m here to watch a football game not go to church. In fact, football games are awfully good excuses to avoid church.
Name another profession outside of religious ones where widespread ostentatious expressions of Christian faith are common and unremarked upon. How would you react if your boss instructed you to form a prayer circle before a big project?
And it is just Christian faith.
Imagine this: The late Pat Tillman, who, it turns out, was an atheist, gives a post-game interview in which he says, “I’d just like to praise nothing and to give all glory to me, without whom I would not be in this position.”
Ever heard a peep out of Sage Rosenfels about any religious topic…or Zygi Wilf for that matter?
Imagine the uproar if Husain Abdullah gave a shout out to Allah. You think it’d ever happen?
The talking heads’ heads would explode.

Whether you believe The Bible to be The Word of God, an inspired volume, or just an old book which has stood the test of time and influenced billions, I think it is worth knowing what it says about money. I know. I know. You're not supposed to talk in polite company about politics, religion, sex, or money, but here on this blog, we've pretty much hit all of those subjects at some point so let's do it again today! If you find it offensive to refer to religion in any way, go read something else on the internet and come back tomorrow for some pure secular knowledge.
Seven Financial Principles from The Bible
I don't claim to be a biblical scholar by any means, but I am confident that I know more about the book than the vast majority of my readers, having read it cover to cover multiple times during my lifetime. In my opinion, there are seven important financial principles that can be found within the books. I'll use the King James version to illustrate, mostly because it is the version I'm most familiar with, but also because I'm a sucker for Old English.
# 1 The Bible Teaches That Money is a Tool, Not a Goal
Both the Old and New Testament are very clear that acquiring money, wealth, riches etc should not be your goal. Let's cite a few examples.
Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
Ecclesiastes 5:10 Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.
Matthew 6: 19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal…For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke 18: 18-27 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?…Jesus said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have.
I think the message is clear. If you wish to have a balanced, happy, successful life, money has a higher purpose than just sitting there to be counted and swam in a la Scrooge McDuck.
# 2 Work Is a Meaningful Part of Life
The Protestant work ethic transported to America certainly has its roots in the Bible. While “idle hands are the devil's workshop” is not contained in scripture, it is pretty clear that work is considered an important financial principle.
Genesis 3:17-19 Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread
Exodus 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work
Proverbs 13: 11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
1 Thessalonians 4:10-12 We beseech you… that ye increase more and more..And that ye study…and…do your own business…and…work with your own hands…That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 If any would not work, neither should he eat.
1 Timothy 5:8 If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
It is clear that the divine intent was for humans to work. Without work, leisure loses its pleasure. Work keeps bodies toned, minds sharp, and spirits strong. Whether you have to work for money or can choose your work without consideration of the financial ramifications, working toward a goal or a purpose is a meaningful part of life. I've been training my kids for their entire lives to know the answer to this question:
“Where does money come from?”
“It comes from work, dad.”
# 3 Have a Written Financial Plan (Budget)
Just one verse in this section, but it's an important one.
Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
We could start that one out “for which of you, intending to buy a Tesla” or “intending to renovate a house” or “intending to send your child to college” or “intending to retire.” Budget. Have a written financial plan.
# 4 Avoid Debt
References to debt and its evils are plentiful throughout The Bible. I am only pulling out some of the classics.
Deuteronomy 23:20 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury
Psalms 27:31 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again
Proverbs 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Ecclesiastes 5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Matthew 6:12 Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing
The Bible is hardly the only spiritual book out there with stern warnings about debt. The Koran says:
Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, “Trade is [just] like interest.” But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah. But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] – those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
Over the years, I have had dozens of Muslim doctors write me for advice about how to pay for school, buy a house, and invest without violating this commandment.
The Talmud says
“Paying a creditor is a mitzvah [commandment].”
In traditional Japan (Shinto) the most important holiday was the New Year, and the goal was to start the New Year without any debts. In Hinduism, Yudhishtra replied in response to Yaksha that
“man without debt is truly happy”
The Book of Mormon says:
“…whosoever among you borroweth of his neighbor should return the thing that he borroweth, according as he doth agree, or else thou shalt commit sin; and perhaps thou shalt cause thy neighbor to commit sin also.”
and additional scripture from the religion says:
“Pay the debt…Release thyself from bondage”.
What is the big deal about a little debt? Well, part of it is historical. Bankruptcy laws that protect debtors are a relatively new, Western invention. Debtor's prison was still a thing well into the mid 19th Century, even in the United States. In Ancient Greece, not only you, but your spouse and children became debt slaves until you could physically work off the debt. There was a death sentence among the Mongols if you went bankrupt three times. The Jewish people were actually rather progressive on this matter — all debts to fellow Jews were forgiven every 7th year and every 50th year, debts to Jew and Gentile alike were forgiven. (I wonder what interest rates were in year 49.)
So is the issue with debt just historical artifact? Certainly, there are two issues that make debt less of a big deal now than it used to be.
First, the consequences are much lower if you blow it thanks to bankruptcy laws. These days in many states you can declare bankruptcy and still keep your house and retirement funds. In Texas, you can also keep two guns, 12 head of cattle, and 120 chickens.Code of Hammurabi dictated a 20% interest rate and those were still the interest rates well into Medieval times in Europe. At 20%, your debt doubles every 3 1/2 years. Even in the 1700s in England, rates were 10%. It hasn't even been that long since the US had double-digit interest rates. I'm sure my parents took out a double-digit mortgage in 1979 when they bought the house I grew up in. US Mortgage rates peaked in 1982 at 16%. Shoot, my first mortgage in 1999 was 8%. It is pretty easy for debt to get out of control quickly at interest rates like those.
While debt can be a tool and borrowing at 2% while earning at 10% is obviously a mathematically winning formula, consider the words of J. Reuben Clark, a religious leader during and after the Great Depression:
Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies; it never goes to the hospital; it works on Sundays and holidays; it never takes a vacation; it never visits nor travels . . . it has no love, no sympathy; it is as hard and soulless as a granite cliff. Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands nor orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands, it crushes you.
There's a reason the major religions of the world warn about becoming overly comfortable with debt.
# 5 Save Money
There is a lot in The Bible about saving, but it is usually referring to a physical or spiritual salvation, not a financial one. However, if you look closely, you can find the recommendation to save there. Perhaps the best verses are found in Proverbs (actually sandwiching one of my favorite verses that I like to use if my wife is giving me a hard time about going on an adventure trip: “It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.” That one ranks right up there with the story of the she-bears and the kids in my book. )
Proverbs 21:17-20 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich….There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
The message? Don't spend it all. Save some money for a rainy day. Another great story on saving comes from Joseph who was sold into Egypt:
Safe Withdrawal Rate if you know your retirement is only going to last 7 years too.
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
# 6 Invest
What? You didn't know The Bible talks about investing? I'm not talking about the Talmudic prescription for asset allocation:
“Let every man divide his money into three parts, and invest a third in land, a third in business and a third let him keep by him in reserve.”
I'm talking about this parable from Jesus Christ. It's long, but worth the read:
Matthew 25:14-30 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Clearly, the idea that “unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required” predated Spider-man. The Bible even has something to say about getting good financial advice, once more in Proverbs:
Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
I think Solomon was talking about Bitcoin and Beanie Babies here.
Proverbs 24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
There is something to be said for having your accountant watching your estate attorney, your estate attorney watching your financial planner, and your financial planner watching your investment manager.
# 7 Give
If you thought The Bible had a lot to say about debt, you haven't seen anything. Charitable giving is a central principle of Christianity (“Faith, Hope, and Charity”) so no surprise that you can read about it in most books in The Bible. Here is a very curated selection:
Deuteronomy 15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
Proverbs 21:13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
Proverbs 21:25-26 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
Malachi 3:10-11 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse and prove me now…if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground
Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Matthew 6:1-3 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.
Luke 3:11 He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
This is the same chapter where Jesus gives career advice to tax collectors (“Exact no more than that which is appointed you”) and soldiers (“Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages”).
Acts 20:35 Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
It's called the Christmas spirit for a reason.
2 Corinthians 9:6-9 He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver…ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work…he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
1 Timothy 6:17-18 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they not trust in uncertain riches…That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute
Finally, I'll conclude with my favorite verse of religious financial advice, although this one isn't from The Bible:
But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God. And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good—to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted.
We use that as a guideline for our annual charitable giving.
As you can see, The Bible has a lot to say about your finances. Yes, much of it is common sense and well-known wisdom. But I wonder how much of it would be considered common sense if it had never been written down there.
What do you think? What are your favorite financial verses from The Bible or other religious texts? What has The Bible taught you about money? Comment below!


St Alfege Church - Heart of Greenwich
St Alfege Church in Greenwich has received initial support* from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for its Heart of Greenwich project, it was announced today.
The project will open up the church’s hidden spaces and rich heritage to national and international visitors, school children and students, and to the widely diverse local community.
Thanks to National Lottery players, development funding of £153,200 has also been awarded to help St Alfege progress their plans to apply for a full grant at a later date.
The plan is to strengthen St Alfege's position as a heritage asset at the heart of Greenwich, opening it up to a more diverse range of visitors. The work would start in January 2018 with the aim that all the capital works would be completed in 2020. Planned activities would extend into 2022.
Working with the University of Greenwich, the Royal Borough and schools, the church will give students practical experience, recruit and train volunteer Heritage Ambassadors and provide a programme of heritage focused activities. Plans include opening up and interpreting the crypt, vital repairs to the fabric and bringing to light the splendid work of the renowned architect Nicholas Hawksmoor. The project will improve access for less able people and improve signage, landscaping and interpretation.
St Alfege Church is a Grade 1 listed landmark church in London, the first church built under the Fifty New Churches Act of 1711 and the first complete church project undertaken by Nicholas Hawksmoor, pupil of Wren and one of England’s most original and significant architects. Its patron saint was murdered on the site of the church just over 1,000 years ago, and there has been a place of Christian worship on the site ever since. Henry VIII was baptised in the church. His court composer Thomas Tallis, “the father of English church music” was its organist. He and General James Wolfe are buried here alongside other figures of local and national importance. Key historical figures in Greenwich’s royal, maritime and scientific history have worshipped here. The present building was constructed between 1712 and 1718, and is one of the key buildings within the Greenwich World Heritage Site.
Commenting on the award, Vicar Chris Moody said: “We’re delighted that the Heritage Lottery Fund has given us this support. St Alfege is at the heart of Greenwich and the current building holds the history of the Greenwich community as it has developed over the past 1000 years. It’s great to know that we are a step closer to preserving it and making our history better known to young and old alike. Many thanks to our partners – the University, the Royal Borough of Greenwich and other World Heritage Site institutions - for helping us get this far….and thank you Heritage Lottery Fund!”
Explaining the importance of the HLF support, Stuart Hobley, Head of HLF London, said: “St Alfege has been a proud symbol for the people of Greenwich for a very long time, and we are delighted that, thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to support this fantastic project, and we look forward to seeing further plans as they develop.””

Over the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking, reading and writing about theology. The nature of God, the person and work of Jesus, the cross, the atonement, salvation, scripture, prayer, suffering… all these and more are topics I’ve pondered and wrestled with. And no doubt I’ll continue to do so.
All my reflecting, wrestling and theologising has led me to also wonder what’s the point of it all. What’s at the top of this theological mountain I’m trying to climb?
As I’ve thought about this question, I’ve realised I already know the answer. And, despite the many theological rabbit trails down which one may wander, it’s really very simple.
All of my thinking, reading and studying to date has led me to conclude that this is the pinnacle of Christian theology:
“Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.” (1 John 4:7–8)
We could boil it down even further: God is Love, so love one another. That’s it. When we ascend the theological Everest, this is what we find at the summit.
There is, of course, a very serious implication for all those who, like me, have a passion for theology. You can do all the theological reading, studying and wrestling in the world; if, in the end, it doesn’t result in you being more loving toward your fellow human beings, regardless of their colour, creed, sexual orientation, political affiliation or anything else, it’s not worth a hill of beans.
There’s a flip side, too: you can know diddly squat about theology, or even explicitly about God, and yet be much more godly than a theologian who can tell you about God till the cows come home but who has forgotten the most important thing, which is to live a life of love.
So what’s the point of theology?
I can think of at least two reasons why I have no intention of laying down my theological pursuits. The first is, quite simply, that I enjoy theology immensely: it fascinates and energises me. And we all need pursuits that fascinate and energise us.
The second reason I will continue to study theology is this: I’m convinced that what we believe has a very great influence on how we live. This is true of all our beliefs, I think; and how much more true, then, of our beliefs about God, who is the ultimate ground and baseline of every other one of our beliefs and convictions?
All of this is, of course, a mighty challenge, because I know how unloving I can be. But I believe that God is good and radically, inexhaustibly, limitlessly loving; and as I continue to contemplate what that means, I trust that He who began a good work in me will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6).
So, my friends, let us theologise together, and enjoy it. But as we do so, let’s keep the main thing the main thing: let’s love one another.

St. George Flag
“Never , in the field of human conflict , have so many owed so much to so few .”
British by birth , English by the grace of God.
Saint George’s Day is the feast day of Saint George. It is celebrated by various Christian churches and by the several nations, kingdoms, countries, and cities of which Saint George is the patron saint. Saint George’s Day is celebrated on 23 April, the traditionally accepted date of Saint George’s death in AD 303. For Eastern Orthodox Churches which use the Julian calendar, 23 April corresponds to 6 May on the Gregorian calendar.
As Easter often falls close to Saint George’s Day, the church celebration of the feast may be moved from 23 April. In England, where it is the National Saint’s Day, for 2011 and 2014 the Anglican and Catholic calendars celebrate Saint George’s Day on the first Monday after Easter Week (2 May and 28 April, respectively). Similarly, the Eastern Orthodox celebration of the feast moves accordingly to the first Monday after Easter or, as it is sometimes called, to the Monday of Bright Week.
he earliest documented mention of St George in England comes from the venerable Bede (c. 673–735). He is also mentioned in ninth-century liturgy used at Durham Cathedral The will of Alfred the Great is said to refer to the saint, in a reference to the church of Fordington, Dorset. At Fordington a stone over the south door records the miraculous appearance of St George to lead crusaders into battle. Early (c 10th century) dedications of churches to St George are noted in England, for example at Fordingham, Dorset, at Thetford, Southwark and Doncaster. In 1222 The Synod of Oxford declared St. George’s Day a feast day in the kingdom of England. Edward III (1327–1377) put his Order of the Garter (founded c. 1348) under the banner of St. George. This order is still the foremost order of knighthood in England and St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle was built by Edward IV and Henry VII in honour of the order. The badge of the Order shows Saint George on horseback slaying the dragon. Froissart observed the English invoking St. George as a battle cry on several occasions during the Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453). Certain English soldiers also displayed the pennon of St George. In his play Henry V, William Shakespeare famously invokes the Saint at Harfleur prior to the battle of Agincourt (1415): “Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'” At Agincourt many believed they saw him fighting on the English side.
 wher as it hathe bene of ane olde costome that sent Gorge shulde be kepte holy day thorrow alle Englond, the byshoppe of London commandyd that it shulde not be kepte, and no more it was not.
Chronicle of the Grey Friars of London
St George’s Day was a major feast and national holiday in England on a par with Christmas from the early 15th century. The Cross of St George was flown in 1497 by John Cabot on his voyage to discover Newfoundland and later by Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh. In 1620 it was the flag that was flown by the Mayflower when the Pilgrim Fathers arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The tradition of celebration St George’s day had waned by the end of the 18th century after the union of England and Scotland. Nevertheless the link with St George continues today, for example Salisbury holds an annual St George’s Day pageant, the origins of which are believed to go back to the 13th century. In recent years the popularity of St George’s Day appears to be increasing gradually. BBC Radio 3 had a full programme of St George’s Day events in 2006, and Andrew Rosindell, Conservative MP for Romford, has been putting the argument forward in the House of Commons to make St George’s Day a public holiday. In early 2009, Mayor of London Boris Johnson spearheaded a campaign to encourage the celebration of St George’s Day. Today, St George’s day may be celebrated with anything English from morris dancing to a Punch and Judy show. Additional celebrations may involve the commemoration of the 23 April as Shakespeare’s birthday/death.
A traditional custom on St George’s day is to wear a red rose in one’s lapel, though this is no longer widely practised. Another custom is to fly or adorn the St George’s Cross flag in some way: pubs in particular can be seen on 23 April festooned with garlands of St George’s crosses. It is customary for the hymn “Jerusalem” to be sung in cathedrals, churches and chapels on St George’s Day, or on the Sunday closest to it. Traditional English food and drink (e.g. afternoon tea) may be consumed however it’s more likely that patriots will go out and get hammered with their mates to celebrate.
There is a growing reaction to the recent indifference to St George’s Day. Organizations such as English Heritage, and the Royal Society of Saint George (a non-political English national society founded in 1894) have been encouraging celebrations. There have also been calls to replace St George as patron saint of England, on the grounds that he was an obscure figure who had no direct connection with the country. However there is no obvious consensus as to whom to replace him with, though names suggested include Edmund the Martyr, Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, orSaint Alban, with the last having topped a BBC Radio 4 poll on the subject.
Religious observance of St George’s day changes when it is too close to Easter. According to the Church of England’s calendar, when St George’s Day falls between Palm Sunday and the Second Sunday of Easter inclusive, it is moved to the Monday after the Second Sunday of Easter. In 2011, for example, 23 April was Holy Saturday so St George’s Day was moved to Monday 2 May. The Catholic Church in England and Wales has a similar practice.

I was born in Michigan and grew up in southern California and Wisconsin. Most of my young life was spent in Fond du Lac, WI. I attended Martin Luther College in Minnesota for a pre-seminary program with a focus on the biblical languages of Greek and Hebrew. After I graduated in 2010, I studied abroad in Leipzig, Germany, at Lutheran Theological Seminary. Then I attended graduate school at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in suburban Milwaukee and completed a one-year internship as a vicar/assistant pastor in Verona, WI, on the west side of Madison. During that year, we started a new mission church. In 2015 I graduated with a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree and began the ministry here in Ann Arbor. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.
In 2014 I met my future wife, Megan, at a conference. We were engaged on Coronado in San Diego and married in California in June 2016. We have two little daughters, Charlotte and Clara. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in Ann Arbor's downtown restaurant district, at local coffee shops, at classical musical concerts at Hill Auditorium, at one of Ann Arbor's 100+ parks with my daughters, or out on the golf course.
I love learning more about Jesus, sharing him in deeper and more relevant ways, and finding out what the Lord has planned for us at Redeemer!


A lot of people think of divorce as a legal matter but marriage annulment as a religious matter. For example, some Christian denominations will annul a marriage if the couple never consummated their marriage sexually, but except where abuse is concerned, family courts in the United States rarely concern themselves with people’s sexual behavior. Perhaps the most famous historical incident involving marriage annulment was the one involving King Henry VIII of England. The refusal on the part of the Catholic Church to annul Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon was a major precipitating event in the Protestant Reformation in England.
What is Annulment of Marriage?
The secular and religious definitions of marriage annulment are similar in their essence. According to Florida law, an annulment is when a court declares a couple unmarried on the grounds that their marriage is not valid. It is different from a dissolution of marriage (divorce). In a divorce, the marriage was real, but a judge legally ends the marriage at the request of one or both parties. The law considers the marriage to have begun on the day of the couple’s wedding and to have ended on the day the court issued the divorce decree. Courts make decisions about spousal support based on these dates. For example, courts rarely award permanent alimony in cases in which the couple was married for less than 17 years.


Naomh Mairtin won the Louth SFC final with a 1-15 to 0-7 victory over St Mochtas on Sunday.
It was fitting that two saintly teams were in the final as it was refereed by a man of the cloth. Fr Derek Ryan, originally a Meathman but now a member of the Sean O'Mahonys club in Dundalk, took charge of the game.
Sportsfile's Ray McManus was present at the Holy Family Parish Church in Dundalk on Sunday morning as Fr Ryan celebrated mass, and later travelled to Páirc Mhuire in Ardree for the final.

Whereas a lot paintings has been performed at the position of Jews within the crucifixion of Jesus in post-Holocaust biblical scholarship, the query of violence in next neighborhood formation continues to be mostly unexamined. New testomony passages suggesting that early Christ-believers have been violently persecuted--the "stone throwing" passages from John, the "persecuted from city to city" passages in Matthew, the stoning of Stephen in Acts, Paul's difficulty catalogue in II Corinthians, and so on.
This Festschrift attracts at the learn pursuits of Christopher Rowland. the gathering of essays comes from former doctoral scholars and different acquaintances, lots of whom make clear the angelic contribution to the thought-world of constructing Christianity. the importance of the Jewish contribution to constructing Christian ideology is seriously assessed, together with the impression of the unique Jewish resources at the earliest Christian trust.
Following his well-received Apostle Paul, sought after ecu student Udo Schnelle now bargains a huge new theology of the hot testomony. The paintings has been translated into English from the unique German, with bibliographic variations, by means of best American pupil M. Eugene uninteresting. This finished serious creation combines historic and theological research.

Chapter 13 is considered a prophecy of the future world empire with its political and religious heads represented by the two beasts of this chapter. The prostitute of chapter 17 is the final form of the church in apostasy. In a similar way, all other events of Revelation relate to the climax of history contained in the second coming of Christ. Critics of this position often argue that if the main body of Revelation deals with the period immediately preceding the second coming of Christ, it robs the reader of immediate blessing.

My father explained he had chosen Moody Publishers (then known as Moody Press) to publish his first commentary on Revelation for one very important reason.
