In this age of Grace
(which doesn't mean we abrogate
but fulfill the law) we are to be:
A prophet by encouraging what God's Word says, and by warning of what God's Word says (Ezekiel 3:21)
we are to be a priest by ministering to others to serve others graciously
(2 Cor. 9:7)
and we are to be kings as we rule our lives according to godly living (1 Peter 2)
1 Peter 4:11c "that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ"

"Stop wandering aimlessly - go to the connoisseur. Then you'll know if you're glass or diamond."
"Protest selflessly. Self-interested rebels become tomorrow's tyrants."
"God dwells not in hollow religiosity but in our conscience - His true throne."

Life is a moving target..
And things change too fast..
What wins always is indomitable will and unwavering focus

In my mind I'm wonderin'
If all those things I never said
Could have changed the way
That things have changed
And made a better world instead...

You can’t make a change
scattering like cockroaches to the dark.

Engineering is the art of systematically making things boring. When a bridge falls down, that's interesting. When it doesn't fall down, that's engineering.

God will make you famous through suffering and time
|
Through the strait pass of suffering—
The Martyrs—even—trod.
Their feet—upon Temptations—
Their faces—upon God—
A stately—shriven—Company—
Convulsion—playing round—
Harmless—as streaks of Meteor—
Upon a Planet's Bond—
Their faith—the everlasting troth—
Their Expectation—fair—
The Needle—to the North Degree—
Wades—so—thro' polar Air!
--Emily Dickinson

PONDERING ON THE SCRIPTURES: A symbol of the soul relying upon the Higher Nature which is Within. " The words of The Christ should be considered further in connection with the General Character of the Gospel according to St. John" For the character of that narrative is not Historical, but Spiritual, not Descriptive of the outward forms of the church, but the Inner Life of the Soul

Paradox of Extremes
If you have everything then you have nothing.
If have nothing but love then you have everything.
It matters not the collection of materialistic things, they don’t satisfy.
Spiritual gathering of friends and loved ones will be your treasure.
In this the moment of your life, it will become eternal.
