Spirit of Truth/The Bible on Trial

When Are We~ "Are we there yet?" Those of us that have children have heard this phrase time and again when we have been on road trips, or even short trips to the market. I find it interesting that this phrase, in this form, in these exact words, in every language, come from children that have not had any exposure to those words in any other context. Most children, especially small children, have a...

All In~ The last 8 words in the Declaration of Indiependence of the United States of America delineate the enormous risk the 56 signers took in stating their resolve and commitment to a cause that changed the world. With the words  these founders put not only their own lives, but the lives of their wives, children, property and money on the line for Freedom from tyranny. Some had little in the way...

Just Breathe~ Current events in the world, and in our USA, have now begun to really worry many people. Tight money, where you can't get a loan with a credit score of 800 because the money is just not there for the loan. Rocket attacks by Ukraine in to Poland, and threats of tactical nuclear ground attacks that might start WW3. Policies by invasive governments that are limiting freedoms for people...

Your Will? ~ One of my wife's favorite sayings/prayers is, "Dear Lord, please give me patience; and give it to me RIGHT NOW!" As humorous as this is, there is truth in the idea that we often ask for something from God that we think will be to our benefit, and benefit the Kingdom of God, and then put conditions on the timing of God's response. We pray as if our prayer is something that God must do,...

Courage~ “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.” ― Mark Twain “Courage is found in unlikely places.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien Courage is a word that defies logic and reason. The ability to be Brave comes from a place in the soul that says that 'This is a point of no return, where I cannot go past this place without taking a stand for my principles, even though it kills me'!...

Honest Mistake~ . . . and he *said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless. "Don't worry, it was an honest mistake" is an expression in common use in our society today. We will screw up somehow, and we will use this expression as a way of making ourselves feel a little better, or easing the pain of someone who is with us a the time. And for th...

Fight Back~ "When a person who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, they will either quit being mistaken or cease being honest". ~Richard Humpal, J.D. There IS an abundance of mis-information, dis-information, obfuscation, and downright lying happening in environments that here-to-fore you would have thought would be immune to such things. We all know (blatant generalization) that religion is one...

Can vs. Should~ There are a variety of expressions that use the word 'Can' in trying to convince people (especially children) to not limit themselves as they stretch their minds and bodies in learning how to accomplish their goals. "You can do anything you put your mind too." "I think I can, I think I can." (The Little Engine That Could). "Do, don't do. No try." (A version used by Yoda in Star War...

Discretion~ You have heard the phrase, "Discretion is the better part of valor." This means in part 'Don't get into a dangerous situation that you can't get out of'. Underlaying this is the concept that there is a choice to make when confronted with an issue or situation that could have dire or deadly consequences to your well being. Applying discretion can be a wise choice when, say for instance,...

Tme Change~ Birth is a beginning. Death is an End, or so it would seem on the surface. If time has a beginning (either with Creation or the 'Big Bang', depending on your perspective), then time must also have an end. But time also has another component that changes the value of what occurs 'in time', and that is the shifting of one timeline to another.  When these space/time shifts occur it is rar...

Interesting Times~ There is an ancient Chinese  curse that says, "May you live in interesting times". This presupposes that 'interesting times' is indeed a curse, and that those times will be uncomfortable at there very least. The other definition of 'interesting times' can also be exciting, challenging, and rife with opportunity to grow. These two definitions are based solely on your personal per...

Continuing our study into the shift from the Death Road prophecies seen in Rev. 13, to the prophecy in Revelation 10 of the Seven Thunders, that  has put the world on the Life Road. Join Spirit of Truth Ministry for our program The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling today October 29, 2022 at 10AM PDT on: blogtalkradio.com/sot.

Distractions~ For most of us (excluding those who choose to live a monastic life) life can be a series of decisions that involve conflicts, resolutions, frustrations, joys, sorrows, and seemingly hundreds of choices every day. There are also surprises that are both welcome, and unwelcome, events that while not unexpected, given previous life choices, are more serious than most. Just such an event...

Mandella Effect~ Last night on a very popular PodCast the host pointed out several of his listeners had mentioned movies that exhibited phenomenon where a person recalls something that did not happen or that something happened differently from the way it happened in the movie that they recalled. One such movie is The Wizard of Oz and Dorothy's shoes. in the early version her shoes are just 'Ruby S...

Prepare for War! It appears evident to me that the issues that are causing the world to implode are coming to a head. War in the Ukraine, war in our cities and towns, war in our schools, war in our churches, war in our families, war in our finances; crime and conficts in every area of our lives are causing stress and pain. There doesn't seem to be any option for peace anywhere, especially in our h...

Reign Reign Go Away . . . We have all sung this nursery rhyme, either having heard it from our parents, or in early education environments. It is a cute song, easy to learn, and often modified to include a different child's name other than 'Johnny' to personalize the song. Recently the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II ended with her death. She had 'served' as Queen for 70 years, longer than any monarch...

Learn Truth, or Learn Lies~ How do children learn about Truth and Lies? Having been a parent of young children, and remembering how my parents trained me, I realized that a common thread from my parents that I passed on to my children was the phrase, 'Don't lie, always tell the truth'! I was taught thay lying was bad, and that telling the truth was good, and that doing the first was punished, and...

Is it possible for physical human beings that are flesh and blood, that live in the physical world, to be able to see the spiritual realm?  When God created human kind (males and females) on the 5th day of creation (Gen. 1: 27-28), were these people able to see spiritual beings? There are references to God having sent angels (lead by Lucifer-The Light Bearer) to teach these newly minted physical h...

The Day Before Tomorrow~ When a disaster hits, such the recent Hurricane Ian in Florida, the people that lived through it will never forget where they were and what they were doing on that day. It is imbeded in their emotions such that they will never forget where they wer and what they were doing, and who they were with. Those of us that are old enough, remember where we were on November 22, 1963...
