Staying Calm

 

STAYING CALM, BUT PURPOSEFUL, IN A WORLD GONE NUTS

 

by Ken Godevenos, Toronto, 24/05/15

 

The Geller Report is most informative and its recent thoughts on this issue of York Regional District School Board (part of the Greater Toronto Area) banning the Star of David in their schools were no exception.

 

The world is indeed in a mess.

 

It is true that our borders (especially that of the U.S.) is in a state of total “futility”. As far as I am concerned, there is no southern border in the U.S. any longer. That can only mean eventual ruin as drugs and terrorists slip into the country. And if caught, they are released with some trial dates into the next decade. Nothing is being done. The number of illegals in the country is growing exponentially it seems.

 

The ownership of land all over the use, but especially near their highly critical (for security reasons and for survival reasons) areas by Chinese and Chinese companies is also a real risk to America’s and to North America’s future safety. Nothing is being done for the most part.

 

While Covid failed to defeat us, the powers that be are practicing and even expecting a much larger threat in the days ahead. Whether they are part of it or not, I cannot say with certainty. They may be and if so, the implications are even worse. At best, they’re expecting such an attack from our arch-enemies — China, Iran, North Korea, etc.

 

And yes, of course, the situation in the Middle East with so many enemies of Israel involved, but also with the continuous double-speak of the United States with respect to its mediocre support of its so-called “best ally in the Middle East” is something that should be watched with some trepidation given what God has said about Israel.

 

We are indeed in a lot of hot water globally speaking and God’s Laws of Science will only allow the temperature to get so hot before the He blows the lid off the pot.

 

More people are attending church. More Christians are studying Revelation. Others are hoping a change in various government administrations (U.S. and Canada for starters) will make a difference, although I think that even with those, improvements will be short-lived.

 

Pamela Geller’s view in the recent article about the Jewish Star of David being banned in schools is a little “over the top” but she is on to something. It is worrisome. Yet, we should also consider the source — the York Regional District School Board has always been “conflict averse” and bows easily to whatever group yells the loudest. The problem is not so much that so many Muslims are standing up and demanding things, though so clearly are, but rather that hardly any Protestants, Catholics, and Jews are countering and demanding things like the Star of David, the Nativity scene, the Cross, and so on, must be allowed.

 

My take is that we should no longer be silent. We should “love” all but love the “truth” more and therefore speak it out loud and clear, in unison, and publicly. The time for silence is over. And we should be willing to accept the consequences as believers.

 

Having said that, I am also a believer that while mankind and world leaders have their plans and agendas and goals for the years ahead, so does God. And His Plan will be both fulfilled and successful. We need to be fully prepared. And we need to know what to expect.

 

I recently found this internet sources very helpful: https://www.gotquestions.org/end-times-timeline.html .

Therefore, I say, “bring it on”. And I say, with the Apostle John, as he wrote in his closing of the book of Revelation, the second last verse, "The one who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!”

He asked for wisdom; God gave him riches as well. Why? (1 Kings 10:14-29)

Today we study 1 Kings 10:14-29 and note at least two things that make us think: why did God give Solomon riches and wisdom, when he only asked for the latter? Also, is there any siginificance to the fact that Solomon is the only other person (other than the antiChrist) who is identified with the number 666?

Invitation to Joy.

 

Invitation To Joy: Your Pathway to a Purpose-Filled Life

Author: John Murray

Publisher: Self-published, White Rock, BC, 2023

 

Making the Plain Things the Main Things

 

I recently told my spouse that I would be happy just staying at home for the rest of my life. Up to my last birthday (my 76^th) I had been a very active and very involved type-A doer. But somehow things had changed, and I no longer felt like making the effort.  Well, clearly God wasn’t finished with me yet and (I believe) He arranged for my friend John Murray to send me his latest book, Invitation To Joy. I read it in one day and am delighted to recommend it highly.

John makes the “pathway to a purpose-filled life” very simple, very quick, and very effective – if you want it to be. He takes Alistair Begg’s quote to heart making some very “plain” things the “main” things. John gives us a plain (not simple) means of getting to Joy.

He shares with us some things he considers important to a life of purpose and meaning. While recognizing our uniqueness and differences as individuals, he dares ask the question, “Are we not all the same on the inside?” He contends that every person has the same inherent value, and it is “we” that regard some with greater respect than others and put them on pedestals, adoring some like sports personalities and actors.

In the process, John gives us some gems to think about and incorporate into our daily lives. For starters, he makes us think about our real ‘friends’ by giving us a solid definition of a ‘friend’.  A plain thing.  He then takes us through thoughts on ‘love’.  Another plain thing. He borrows St. Augustine’s description of God’s love and shows us what an impact it can have on others.

From there the author moves us along to the need that millions and millions of people have today – the need for ‘physical touch’ – an arm around one’s shoulder, a hug, even a pat on the back. Another plain thing.

But wait, there’s more.  He delves into the matter of “contentment” and how we might ever find ourselves there. Time for another pain thing – gratitude. He covers the inter-relationship between gratitude and joy. And with the help of David Steindl-Rast, the Austrian-American Benedictine monk, author, and lecturer, he helps show us which of the two is dependent on the other.

And there are more ‘plain’ things for us to make into ‘main’ things. Some we may not like or welcome, but there’s no avoiding them as we pursue both Joy and Purpose.  Plain things like ‘kindness’ and ‘generosity’, both of which are linked to ‘gratitude’ and thus ‘joy’.

The latter part of John Murray’s book takes us to the point in time when we the readers are no longer around and makes us think about the question, “Have I made the world around me a better place because of my being here?”

One more thing. Don’t for a minute think Murray is living in a dream, imagining an ideal world. He isn’t.  He has had his share of difficulties in his life, so he shares with us about the co-existence of joy and adversity.

All very real.  All very useful. All very necessary. All very well written. The content clearly demonstrates John’s growth as an author, and we are the beneficiaries.  I highly recommend the book for you, and for your family and friends.  I’ve already shared it with a number.

God got His Temple, I need mine. Or do I? (1 Kings 7:1-12)

Solomon was wise, but did he have his priorities right at this time? We'll look at both sides and you can decide which one you agree with. We're studying 1 Kings 7:1-12.
