Thoughts,

After an introductory deception utilized to captivate his casualty, the first thing an abusive husband is going to do to his subject (wife) is accuse her of all sorts of evil. The manipulator will create insecurities within her mind, saying it’s her fault, she’s the problem, she’s the toxic one. The oppressor will then proceed to remove her passion and confidence, causing separation and isolation from her life connections (i.e. siblings, parents, grandparents, friends, neighbours, co-workers). The bully will further seek to create propaganda among the public, dissolve her career and hopes of the future in order to promote his pride and stroke his ego. “She’s sick and needs help, and I’m the saviour of the world,” making her his property only useful for his agenda. His lust is control, the power to puppeteer everything and everyone, seeking preeminence. And unfortunately this charade will operate for a time, but after awhile folks will get suspicious with the issue. And it is important in such times to reach out and save the wife from the clutches of said tyrant, explaining to her the reality of this chaotic situation. Naturally this can be very confrontational, courage must be achieved. And after all has been exposed the healing process can begin, and the wife will seek therapy from the abuse. The perfect outcome would be for the “ivory tower” narcissist to repent, yet sadly most times such a one has long lost any redemptive quality. He will move on in anger spewing his continued imputation until he finds another prey, and nest therein till forced to move on yet again.

This happens more often than most might seek to realize. And this account can be applicable to all sorts of different context and relationships. We must learn to discern and be there for the victim, sharing love to help persevere in faith (Phil. 1:9)

If I’ve learned anything in my life personally as a faithful Christian, is that God sees all things and will provide doors for change when necessary (Rom. 8:28).

Interesting Opinion

He seems fully convinced, and part of me wants it to be true, but I'm not sure if it is though. I don't know this source, he passed in my X news feed.

"Cleansing the Temple"

Sermon Sunday: John 2:13-25
EastCoast church of Christ
Moncton, NB, Canada.
Sunday, Sept. 18th, 2022.

"Cleansing the Temple"
"Water Baptism, Saves?"

In 1 Peter 3:21, we see the explicit inspired words of Peter the Apostle of Jesus the Christ. Was he teaching the Christians of the 1st Century that they were saved by "water?" What exactly did Peter mean within the context? This and more we explore in this exclusive LOCALS podcast session.

POLL question: "was Peter the Apostle married?"

"Water Baptism, Saves?"
Prayers Please 🙏

We pray to accumulate enough support in 2025 to keep serving at our current capacity (and then some).

If you know of any Christians and/or congregations willing and able to participate in this opportunity, please let them know about us. Thank you.

Blessings 🙌

Yep, we know.

Sadly so many Canadians are fully brainwashed into believing lies from all our sectors of public life, which has contaminated many citizens. But either or, something is going to change, we pray it won't be through war, but peace.

Rescued - Transferred - Redeemed
The Kingdom of His beloved Son

You've fallen asleep comfy in your bed, and a fire started in your house. You wake to panic as you become aware of your surroundings, trapped by a wall of lavalike heat. You find yourself in danger, where smoke and flames threaten your life. Your neighbors were capable of seeing the threat and had since called for help. The firefighters arrive on the scene and immediately find you in your bedroom--time for a rescue. Are you yet seen in a location of satety? No, not yet. There still needs to be a transfer from the site of dakness, smoke, and fire to an area of light, fresh air, and safety. And so the firefighters guide you out of certain death into a secure location. You have now been saved, not without damage, trauma, and loss. But you've gained your life and get to learn fowared another day.

You've become idle in your sinful behavior and practices. You wake to panic as you become aware of your eternal punishment. A neighbor cares for you enough to share Jesus with you. Will you obey the gospel?

The reception of forgivness was the desired result of all who willfully gave their lives to Christ, submissive to His spiritual operation (Col. 2:11-12). Paul, the apostle, speaking to his brethren in Colossae, was accurate in reminding them of their reconciliation. And how the Word of God they had chosen to hear produced fruit for the Kingdom. The Kingdom was God's preplanned location where all found within would have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

A domain needs a King, Christ Jesus. A Kingdom has boundaries, borders, law and order, and justice. This Kingdom is of a peculiar kind, and we should all seek first legal citizenry (Mt. 6:33). His Kingdom is the body, the church (Col. 2:1,18,24). The body for it has organic members all united for the purposed function--the church fo its assembly, it's family. The way in? Being a repentant believer confessing Christ, immersed into water calling on His name, in order to receive the forgiveness of your sins, being added to His Kingdom, local assembly (i.e. "rescued, transferred, redeemed"). 

This good news of Jesus Christ "was proclaimed in all creation" to give humankind a way out of the flames and sinful consequences. And we are wise to hear its call.

Is your house on fire?

Ref. Colossians 2:13-24

Your servant,

SM
