I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

“This is the first Baptism thou art to know... I commend to thee my flaming Sword... Slay utterly Old and Young whatever in [yourself] bears not my Mark and Name, which is my Image.”

[That hot fiery Furnace] should boil away the scum of all that which of the earthly part had yet its remainder with me... Wisdom unsealed and opened her Testimony, lighting my Lamp from her Seven Pillars of Fire, which now go before me, [and] my Way may no more be dark...

Yielding my self up to Love’s Flaming Sword, I felt a separation was made. Oh how sweet is it to feel the Life’s Blood run into the Fountain of that Godhead, from whence it came?

Eyewitness Accounts: Are They Good Enough Evidence to Convict YOU?

The Christmas season always has so much meaning to me that I hate to see it end. But the tree and the Christmas lights are now officially down. Before we get TOO far into 2024, let’s pause to reflect one last time about the Christmas story. I love it because it’s a story filled with humility and surprise, full of unexpected details that validate the arrival of a long-awaited king. I love it…

Are You On Fire?

One of the things my wife and I love to do is sit in front of our fireplace and watch it, during the few days it is cool enough to run in Texas. Although our fireplace is a gas fireplace and does not consume anything other than gas, it is great to watch. When we can, we also love to have an outside firepit to watch and roast marshmallows on. Fire is something that many people love to watch. It…

John 3:26-31 (NASB). “And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing and all the people are coming to Him.” John replied, “A person can receive not even one thing unless it has been given to him from heaven. You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’ He who has the bride is the groom; but the friend of the groom, who stands and listens to him, rejoices greatly because of the groom’s voice. So this joy of mine has been made full. He must increase, but I must decrease. “He who comes from above is above all; the one who is only from the earth is of the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.”

Matthew 11:9-10 (NASB). “But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I am sending My messenger ahead of You, Who will prepare Your way before You.’”

John 1:29 (NKJV). “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

“Faith to Be Less” By In Touch ministries:

“Smaller roles in God’s kingdom don’t have smaller joy.”

“In today’s passage, we see the disciples of John the Baptist showing concern for their leader, or perhaps for the viability of his ministry. “The one you identified as the Messiah is also baptizing people,” they said, “and everybody is going to him instead of coming to us” (v. 26 NLT). They knew John wasn’t the Messiah, or at least that he said he wasn’t. Perhaps they hoped his ministry would continue to be relevant, and that he’d receive the respect he deserved as a prophet. For these reasons, John’s response may have surprised them.

“This joy of mine has been made full,” he said. “[Jesus] must increase, but I must decrease” (vv. 29-30). John’s faith in Christ enabled him to handle being less. His faith meant stepping from center stage into the shadows. But John had no sadness or regret; he felt only complete joy.

The Baptizer understood his role. His faithful service—which Jesus acknowledged after Herod had John arrested (Matthew 11:9-10)—was just that: service. John recognized that his primary work was to set the stage for the Messiah.

Our role in God’s work is similar. Like John, let us find our fullest joy in bearing witness, embracing the lesser role that points to the Savior and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” (John 1:29).

would you give us your top ten all time?

MY top ten all time...

10 quinn hughes

9 quinn hughes

8 qu

okay real talk uhhhhh. im going to exclude goalies here (like i have in previous Tops lists) because they're kind of difficult to evaluate in relation to skaters. top goalies are roy-hasek-dryden-brodeur-lundqvist-luongo not in that order + incomplete list + i don't know enough about goalies Let's Move On

10. steve yzerman. 7th in points all time, nearly twenty years with the red wings, a 150-point season. three cups, a conn smythe, a selke, one of the youngest ever all-stars, longest-ever serving captain. stevie y is known as The Captain for a reason !!

9. mike bossy. all time goals per game leader. fourth all time in points per game. four cups, three lady byngs, a conn smythe. short career because of injuries but absolutely legendary peak.

8. alexander ovechkin. you know what his deal is

7. bobby orr. getting 100+ points as a defenceman 6 times is insane

6. gordie howe. i feel like ive brought up my neverending affection for gordie in the past but it cannot be overstated because i loveeeeee gordie i would kill and die for gordie he was so Huge and so Nice and got. 41 points. in the NHL. when he was 52. 1979-1980 season he played 80 games and scored 15 goals and 26 assists. he was born in 1928?? anyway. saskatchewan farm boy you have my heart...

5. sidney crosby. SIDCROS 4 EVA

4. jaromir jagr. ppl forget jagr because he was very much the malkinstyle Mysterious Eastern European when ppl were fawning over mario in penguinland but like if you go and check out his career stats it is fucking legitimately insane he only ever won one hart. i think he scored a goal a couple hours ago in kladno actually.

3. connor mcdavid. 3rd all time in p/pg. awkward. ginger. about as many assists as the second best in his draftyear (mitch) has points. perfect to me. if he wins a cup before the leafs im going to kill myself (oilers cup 2k24 you heard it here first)

2. mario lemieux. being top 10 in points all time with less than 1000 games played is insane. the next player on the all time points ranking with fewer than 1000 games is peter stastny, who is 42nd AND HAS PLAYED MORE GAMES THAN MARIO LEMIEUX

wayne gretzky. it's wayne gretzky

#asks #theres stats that go into this but pls. go with the vibes.#also recency bias or something etc considering 3 of these guys are active but whatevs #11-15 are (in no order) messier fedorov matthews malkin and idk maybe someone like lidstrom

Jesus is Coming

Some years ago I was walking around the reception tables after a wedding I had performed. An older woman approached me with a question. Almost everyone present at this particular wedding had come from a high church liturgical tradition. In their tradition, they had sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly recited either the Apostle’s Creed or the Athanasian Creed. But apparently, she hadn’t been…

Revelation 6: The Second Seal

Reading about the second seal gives more context to the first seal, the first horse, and the first rider. If they are part of a set, then how does the first rider fit in? #Revelation6 #SecondHorseman #SecondSeal

A Fiery Red Horse Then, when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Go, you!” And another horse, flame-colored, went out, and to the one sitting upon it was given to him to violently remove peace out of the world and in order that they would kill one another, then a great sword was given to him. Revelation 6:3-4 Reading about the second seal gives more context…

A Credible Resurrection Requires Credible Witnesses

(The resurrection on Easter Sunday, the last of the Ten days of Passion Week) All over the world, people today are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. It’s an interesting phenomenon because most rational people know that it is impossible to raise anyone from the dead, right? And yet, believers everywhere accept by faith that the resurrection actually occurred. Why? Is there a reason why…

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:16

“In all circumstances part 1: trust in God's character” By Antique Candle Co.:

“Why is it that we most often seek the Lord during the valleys of life? We know from His Word that He wants us to seek Him in every season. During the peaks, with moments of great joy and celebration; during the valleys, in times of worry and uncertainty. Not only does He desire His children to seek Him out, but He calls us to be faithful in all circumstances.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding...” —Proverbs 3:5

Trusting in the Lord's character allows us to find hope in every situation. It's not just about trusting God to get us through the difficult moments, but fully trusting in who He is, which extends to every moment of life.

So what is God's character? Many things. God cannot be compared to anything else in all creation. He created all things. Therefore, there are some attributes of Christ we can and cannot understand. We can't understand being 'unchanging' or 'all-knowing' ourselves because, as we are finite beings, we are neither. However, His Word tells us these truths about Him so that we may trust the characteristics that are unique to God alone. We can see and acknowledge the truth of His character in the Word and in our own lives.

GOD IS UNCHANGING:

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” —James 1:17

GOD IS FAITHFUL:

“...if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” —2 Timothy 2:13

“The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations.” —Psalm 100:5

GOD IS ALL-KNOWING:

“He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” —Psalm 94:9

GOD IS SOVEREIGN:

“For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” —Romans 11:36

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.” —Ephesians 1:7-8

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” —Romans 8:28

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” —Matthew 24:14

Place your trust in a God who is unchanging, faithful, all-knowing, sovereign, and so much more. In all circumstances, His character is something that will never fail.”
