**Listen, Christian"

for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.                                              Matthew 25:42-46 (NKJV)

I was imprisoned and you crept off quietly to your chapel and prayed for my release.

I was naked, and in your mind you debted the morality of my appearance.   

I was sick, and you knelt and thanked God for your health. 

 

I was homeless and you preached to me of the spiritual shelter of the love of God.

I was lonely, and you left me alone.  

Pray for me---You seem so holy, so close to God; 

But I am still very hungry, and lonely, and cold.

Then they will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?'  Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuedly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'            Matthew 25:44-45       

Are we listening?

  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.                                                                                                   Genesis 1:1 , NKJV God has many "names"or "titles"that reflect His character and benefits. Today, I am focusing on Elohim, the God of Creation.  I was blessed to celebrate another birthday a couple of days ago, and my gift was to travel to another state with loved ones where the eclipse could be seen in its totality.  I saw the one locally in 2017, but that partial one paled by comparison to this one.    Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash To say that it was awesome is such an understatement.  Visitors traveled from as far west as California, and there were some who were French speaking from who knows where.  I am seldom at a loss for words, however, this was an exception.  Seeing God's creation on full display as it went though the various phases was awe inspiring and caused me to tear up.  The change i

Passion Week or Holy Week began on Palm Sunday and continues to Resurrection Sunday/Easter.   Jesus, motivated by His love for us and desire to redeem us, suffered unbelievable torture and humiliation to pay our sin debt.   He who was without sin. * It is called Passion Week because Jesus was motivated by His passionate love for us and desire to provide a path back to a restored relationship with the Father through Him.  The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. (John 10:17) .  He accomplished it through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  Those of us who are followers of Christ should always fe
