Forever

“Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged…..My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: … Continue reading Forever

The Greatest Commandment

What is the greatest sin according to Jesus? I guess that depends on what is the greatest commandment. Here is what Jesus said is THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT: “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” – Matthew 22:37,38 So, if we don’t have a passionate love for God then something is greatly off with us. To break the greatest commandment is to commit the greatest sin. So, how does one get this kind of love for God? “We love … Continue reading The Greatest Commandment

Underlying cause of 15-44 aged deaths in Cali

Does California media reflect the data? I don’t honestly know as I don’t live there. It appears about 70% of deaths are drug and alcohol related in Cali and mostly drug which is probably fentanyl. Californians who are more concerned about firearm and covid deaths seem to be well off the mark. They ought to be leading the campaign against overdoses and the most knowledgeable and concerned about it. I don’t seem to get this from Cali but maybe I’m wrong. Now I know this verse is not in the context of this but is applicable none the less. “Ye … Continue reading Underlying cause of 15-44 aged deaths in Cali
