  • The pursuit of God is not a part-time, weekend exercise. If it is, chances are you will experience a part-time, weekend freedom. Abiding requires a kind of staying power. The pursuit is relentless.

  • Dangerous indeed!
    Just consider the last "planneddemic"!
    How many people died or were maimed for life because of that idiocy?
    People who were not doctors (politicians and executives) and had ZERO medical experience basically sentenced millions of people to die or be permanently disabled!

    "The Ninth Circuit held that due to a legal principle known as rational basis review, judges don’t need to consider whether a mandated medical intervention actually prevents disease as long as the government policy is rational. According to the ruling, as long as politicians and executive officials could have believed a medical intervention serves public health, the courts need not become involved.

    The plaintiffs warn this reasoning is unprecedented—and dangerous."

    Another chance at an "Arab Spring": If Iran violently kills peaceful protesters, the United States of America will come to their rescue, Trump said in a 3 a.m. post Friday on his TruthSocial platform. "We are locked and loaded and ready to go."

    "A citizen in a constitutional republic enjoys liberty when government protects rights through established law. Once that government begins surveillance, censorship, or coercion justified by safety concerns, both liberty and independence erode. The surveillance state does not announce its arrival as tyranny. It arrives through incremental expansion and manufactured consent.

    A country achieving separation from an empire wins independence. Whether that country secures liberty depends entirely on whether it restrains its own rulers afterward. Most post-colonial states discovered this difficult truth: removing foreign chains means nothing if domestic tyrants fill the vacuum. The declaration of independence marks only a beginning. Building institutions that preserve liberty against domestic power concentration constitutes the actual work." !

  • A Soft Goodbye to the Sea

    Tonight, I speak softly.
    So waves will not interrupt
    What my heart remembers.

    You rest beside me.
    eyes holding ancient water,
    patient as untold years.

    I tell you my longing
    has no chains for you,
    only blessings folded in fear.

    When the tide calls your name,
    Do not hesitate for me.
    Freedom must never wait.

    Swim where light deepens,
    where no hands can claim you,
    where silence teaches strength.

    Guard your shell with wisdom.
    not every touch is kindness.
    Not every shore is safe.

    If storms bruise your journey,
    turn your face to the moon
    She knows your way home.

    I will keep my missing
    like a quiet lantern,
    warm, but not demanding.

    Go now, beloved traveler,
    Carry my hope in your wake.
    Be wild. Be careful. Be free.

  • The Road Written in Stars

    The elders say
    Some spirits are born carrying distance,
    not to flee the past,
    But to stitch tomorrow to yesterday.

    I learned that motion can be sacred—
    a prayer spoken by the body,
    a promise to keep going
    without forgetting where the dust began.

    What runs through generations
    does not always leave tracks.
    It lives in rhythm,
    in the courage to follow a path
    Only the heart recognizes.

    There is guidance older than maps,
    a knowing etched in silence,
    reminding us when to move,
    when to trust,
    when to surrender to the journey itself.

    So I answer the call that never shouts,
    guided by an unseen hand,
    walking the road written in stars—
    where freedom is not escape,
    but devotion
    to the journey that shapes the soul.

  • RED ALERT! TRUMP’S MILITARY IS ARRESTING THE GLOBAL ELITES — GITMO IS ACTIVE — BIOWEAPON EXECUTIVES, CENTRAL BANKERS, HUMAN TRAFFICKERS TAKEN IN WORLDWIDE RAIDS — QFS IS LIVE — TRILLIONS SEIZED — ESCAPE ROUTES SHUT — THIS IS THE FULL TAKEDOWN!
    Under President Trump’s command, the quiet war has exploded into full force. What started as targeted raids and sealed indictments is now the biggest takedown of the deep state cabal in history. In December 2025, it's not just enforcement—it's the total destruction of the criminal empire that's manipulated finance, wars, media, and governments for generations. Patriots, the storm is here! The elites are panicking, and justice is unleashing like never before!
    The arrests are rolling out in classified ops by the U.S. Military Alliance, teaming up with defected international allies who've turned against the old corrupt order. Intelligence bosses, banking kingpins, and biotech overlords are being rounded up in ops masked as routine probes. In Switzerland, four elite bankers got nabbed in November, their laundered funds exposed—tied to Ukraine biolabs, Balkan organ trafficking, and South American currency sabotage. These weren't just money men; they guarded hidden gold stashes from WWII, now being funneled back to the people via the unbreakable Quantum Financial System (QFS). No more Fed or IMF stranglehold—the QFS is gold-backed and elite-proof, wiping out their fraud empires. WWG1WGA— we're reclaiming our wealth!
    Globally, the Alliance strikes hard. In Monaco, three tech tyrants were hauled away for running surveillance grids disguised as climate trackers—spying on freedom fighters and patriots to enforce their social credit nightmare. In Germany, a pharma giant fell, linked to Ukraine bioweapons and payoffs to hide vaccine horrors. Seized docs prove they bribed media and agencies to suppress the truth about injuries from their poison jabs. The awakening is massive—their bioweapon agenda is crumbling under Trump's hammer!
    In the Middle East, U.S. Spec Ops with UAE and Saudi backups are smashing trafficking rings funneling kids and drugs into Europe. U.N. "philanthropists" got busted in Dubai, their crypto trails leading to BlackRock laundromats. These border-pushers were really trading humans and hiding profits in fake green investments. No more open borders betrayal—the wall of justice is closing in!
    Back home, the DoD has activated orders for military oversight on crimes against humanity. GITMO is buzzing, with new Pacific and Indian Ocean sites as tribunal fortresses for untouchables: ex-spy chiefs, NGO crooks, and election riggers tied to bioweapons and surveillance. Private jets grounded in London, Brussels, D.C.—political clans, tech founders, royals, even Hollywood puppets vanishing. Escape havens like Argentina and New Zealand? Sealed tight by naval intercepts. The cabal's running scared, but there's nowhere to hide!
    Sealed indictments from 2017 are unsealing fast. Marshals and Space Force analysts nabbing lobbyists, bankers, and rogue CIA/FBI traitors involved in election theft and child cover-ups. Trump's not backing down—he's the lion leading the charge, purging the swamp deeper than ever! His directives unite ICE, DHS, NSA under a patriot shield to root out infiltrators.
    Next up: QFS rollout exposes every stolen dollar, every trafficking deal, every bioweapon buck. Digital access cards will end central bank tyranny. The old order is dying—their invisibility shattered! This is accountability on steroids, America spearheading the global revolution under a President beholden to no one but We the People.

  • Christian, to what length are you willing to go in order to reach the lost? Paul declared, “I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some” (1 Cor. 9:22).

    But what does this mean? Did Paul become an adulterer in order to reach adulterers? Or a homosexual that he might draw homosexuals to Christ? Did he become a thief in order to save thieves? While Paul explains that, to the Jews he became as a Jew, and to those without the law, he became as one without the law, his statement of becoming all things is clearly not literal.

    Paul here is making the point that he met people where they were, just as did Jesus Himself. Paul was willing to sacrifice his liberties (not to go against his beliefs or violate them) in order to have opportunity to preach the gospel.

    Make no mistake - Paul did not water down the gospel, he used no “hook,” he did not entertain to be heard, nor use enticing or eloquent speech. For what does Paul say?

    “I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified…my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God” (1 Cor. 2:1-5)

    Paul preached in or near the synagogues, in jail, on the streets. The purpose was to carry the good news of the kingdom to the lost and hurting, to a dark and dying world. He regarded his reputation, his freedom, any worldly possessions, as worthless compared to reaching the lost. We would do well to do the same.

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Evening, December 7

    "I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." 1 Corinthians 9:22

    Paul's great object was not merely to instruct and to improve, but to save. Anything short of this would have disappointed him; he would have men renewed in heart, forgiven, sanctified, in fact, saved. Have our Christian labours been aimed at anything below this great point? Then let us amend our ways, for of what avail will it be at the last great day to have taught and moralized men if they appear before God unsaved? Blood-red will our skirts be if through life we have sought inferior objects, and forgotten that men needed to be saved. Paul knew the ruin of man's natural state, and did not try to educate him, but to save him; he saw men sinking to hell, and did not talk of refining them, but of saving from the wrath to come. To compass their salvation, he gave himself up with untiring zeal to telling abroad the gospel, to warning and beseeching men to be reconciled to God. His prayers were importunate and his labours incessant. To save souls was his consuming passion, his ambition, his calling. He became a servant to all men, toiling for his race, feeling a woe within him if he preached not the gospel. He laid aside his preferences to prevent prejudice; he submitted his will in things indifferent, and if men would but receive the gospel, he raised no questions about forms or ceremonies: the gospel was the one all-important business with him. If he might save some he would be content. This was the crown for which he strove, the sole and sufficient reward of all his labours and self-denials. Dear reader, have you and I lived to win souls at this noble rate? Are we possessed with the same all-absorbing desire? If not, why not? Jesus died for sinners, cannot we live for them? Where is our tenderness? Where our love to Christ, if we seek not His honour in the salvation of men? O that the Lord would saturate us through and through with an undying zeal for the souls of men.

  • Saints, as we head into the weekend, pray for the body of Christ. So much stuff is happening right now that is dividing the body: politics, trans-gender stuff, freedom of speech, etc. Pray that we will not allow these things to continue to divide us. We are weaker when we are divided. We have to come together because we need each other! We need to be focusing on sharing the Gospel instead of silly stuff. We need to let the world see us as representatives of Christ instead of people who chase the trappings of the world. Saints, please pray for the body of Christ to come together.

  • Christian, do you suffer with physical difficulties? Illness? Injury? Disability? This should come as no surprise - we live in a fallen world, inhabiting corruptible bodies.

    Paul describes this fallen world as follows: “For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Rom. 8:19-21).

    One day, the world shall be set free from its corruption; until then, it waits and degrades, as do we. As Paul continues, “even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body” (Rom. 8:23).

    Paul himself suffered with an issue that most believe to be a physical impairment, as Paul describes in 2 Cor. 12 his “thorn in the flesh” that tormented him in order to keep him humble. Timothy suffered “frequent ailments”, and Paul instructed him to drink wine for relief (1 Tim. 5:23). Neither was healed in this life.

    The promise for us, that to which we look forward, for which we wait eagerly, is “our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body” (Rom. 8:23). Let us then when not healed, as did Paul, recognize that in our weakness God is shown to be strong and the power of Christ is able to dwell in us (2 Cor. 12:9). For when we are weak, then we are strong (2 Cor. 12:10).

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Evening, December 4

    "Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body." Romans 8:23

    This groaning is universal among the saints: to a greater or less extent we all feel it. It is not the groan of murmuring or complaint: it is rather the note of desire than of distress. Having received an earnest, we desire the whole of our portion; we are sighing that our entire manhood, in its trinity of spirit, soul, and body, may be set free from the last vestige of the fall; we long to put off corruption, weakness, and dishonour, and to wrap ourselves in incorruption, in immortality, in glory, in the spiritual body which the Lord Jesus will bestow upon His people. We long for the manifestation of our adoption as the children of God. "We groan," but it is "within ourselves." It is not the hypocrite's groan, by which he would make men believe that he is a saint because he is wretched. Our sighs are sacred things, too hallowed for us to tell abroad. We keep our longings to our Lord alone. Then the apostle says we are "waiting", by which we learn that we are not to be petulant, like Jonah or Elijah, when they said, "Let me die"; nor are we to whimper and sigh for the end of life because we are tired of work, nor wish to escape from our present sufferings till the will of the Lord is done. We are to groan for glorification, but we are to wait patiently for it, knowing that what the Lord appoints is best. Waiting implies being ready. We are to stand at the door expecting the Beloved to open it and take us away to Himself. This "groaning" is a test. You may judge of a man by what he groans after. Some men groan after wealth- they worship Mammon; some groan continually under the troubles of life- they are merely impatient; but the man who sighs after God, who is uneasy till he is made like Christ, that is the blessed man. May God help us to groan for the coming of the Lord, and the resurrection which He will bring to us.

The promise for us, that to which we look forward, for which we wait eagerly, is “our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body” (Rom. 8:23). Let us then when not healed, as did Paul, recognize that in our weakness God is shown to be strong and the power of Christ is able to dwell in us (2 Cor. 12:9). For when we are weak, then we are strong (2 Cor. 12:10). —————— Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions Evening, December 4 "Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body." Romans 8:23 This groaning is universal among the saints: to a greater or less extent we all feel it. It is not the groan of murmuring or complaint: it is rather the note of desire than of distress. Having received an earnest, we desire the whole of our portion; we are sighing that our entire manhood, in its trinity of spirit, soul, and body, may be set free from the last vestige of the fall; we long to put off corruption, weakness, and dishonour, and to wrap ourselves in incorruption, in immortality, in glory, in the spiritual body which the Lord Jesus will bestow upon His people. We long for the manifestation of our adoption as the children of God. "We groan," but it is "within ourselves." It is not the hypocrite's groan, by which he would make men believe that he is a saint because he is wretched. Our sighs are sacred things, too hallowed for us to tell abroad. We keep our longings to our Lord alone. Then the apostle says we are "waiting", by which we learn that we are not to be petulant, like Jonah or Elijah, when they said, "Let me die"; nor are we to whimper and sigh for the end of life because we are tired of work, nor wish to escape from our present sufferings till the will of the Lord is done. We are to groan for glorification, but we are to wait patiently for it, knowing that what the Lord appoints is best. Waiting implies being ready. We are to stand at the door expecting the Beloved to open it and take us away to Himself. This "groaning" is a test. You may judge of a man by what he groans after. Some men groan after wealth- they worship Mammon; some groan continually under the troubles of life- they are merely impatient; but the man who sighs after God, who is uneasy till he is made like Christ, that is the blessed man. May God help us to groan for the coming of the Lord, and the resurrection which He will bring to us.

    This Day in History: Revolutionary War Thanksgivings
    At about this time in 1941, the fourth Thursday in November officially becomes a national holiday. You may know about modern Thanksgiving Day celebrations, but did you know that thanksgiving also played an important role in the American Revolution? Indeed, as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, George Washington fully supported public displays of gratitude as a vital part of a well-functioning army. The events of October 1777 were a case in point. Americans won an important victory at Sa

  • Aside from His predetermined primary purpose of giving Himself a ransom for many (Mk. 10:45), Jesus many times over stated His reason for coming was to preach (Mk. 1:38; Lk. 4:18, 43). Preaching the kingdom was Jesus focus prior to His sacrifice.

    As He quoted of OT prophecy regarding Himself, “And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, ‘The spirit of the lord is upon me, because he anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the lord.’
    And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, ‘Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing’” (Lk. 4:17-21).

    There is much in those few verses, one bit of which stands out. You may ask, in what way were captives released? Oh, praise be to God for Jesus coming! He taught elsewhere, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (Jn. 8:31-32). Free from what? To what are (or were) we captive? Jesus clarifies: ““Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn. 8:34-36).

    Prior to salvation, all men are slaves to sin. But Jesus, who Himself is “the Truth” (Jn. 14:6), set us free from that enslavement. No longer are we slaves to sin, but now are, as Paul explains, “having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness” (Rom. 6:18). Therefore, as Paul exhorts, “just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification” (Rom. 6:19). This is echoed in Rom. 12:1 and 2, where Paul penned “I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

    Let us therefore, as Paul urges, present ourselves no longer to sin for it to be our master, since we have been set free. No, let us present our bodies a living and holy sacrifice to God, that He may be glorified through us and that Christ may live through us (Gal. 2:20).

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, November 25

    "To preach deliverance to the captives." Luke 4.18

    None but Jesus can give deliverance to captives. Real liberty cometh from Him only. It is a liberty righteously bestowed"; for the Son, who is Heir of all things, has a right to make men free. The saints honour the justice of God, which now secures their salvation. It is a liberty which has been dearly purchased. Christ speaks it by His power, but He bought it by His blood. He makes thee free, but it is by His own bonds. Thou goest clear, because He bare thy burden for thee: thou art set at liberty, because He has suffered in thy stead. But, though dearly purchased, He freely gives it. Jesus asks nothing of us as a preparation for this liberty. He finds us sitting in sackcloth and ashes, and bids us put on the beautiful array of freedom; He saves us just as we are, and all without our help or merit. When Jesus sets free, the liberty is perpetually entailed"; no chains can bind again. Let the Master say to me, "Captive, I have delivered thee," and it is done for ever. Satan may plot to enslave us, but if the Lord be on our side, whom shall we fear? The world, with its temptations, may seek to ensnare us, but mightier is He who is for us than all they who be against us. The machinations of our own deceitful hearts may harass and annoy us, but He who hath begun the good work in us will carry it on and perfect it to the end. The foes of God and the enemies of man may gather their hosts together, and come with concentrated fury against us, but if God acquitteth, who is he that condemneth? Not more free is the eagle which mounts to his rocky eyrie, and afterwards outsoars the clouds, than the soul which Christ hath delivered. If we are no more under the law, but free from its curse, let our liberty be practically exhibited in our serving God with gratitude and delight. "I am Thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: Thou hast loosed my bonds." "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"
