Why did I watch a Catholic worship service?
Because many Catholics on X said that I shouldn’t talk about it without having been to one. Because of the situation with my mother, I can’t actually go to one in person. So, I watched on tv.
What did I see?
A lot of ritual without emotion. I’ve been told that Catholics like it that way. Predictable. The same everywhere in the world.
Did they read from the Bible?
Yes, they did. Several passages.
Did they preach the gospel?
No, they did not. The gospel is the good news of how Jesus saves us. It’s more than 4 specific books in the New Testament. Catholics don’t seem to know what you are talking about when you say “the gospel”.
Do I intend to watch another mass?
No, there’s nothing in the Catholic Church for me. I disagree with a lot of their man made doctrine and will continue to follow Jesus in the biblical way of worship without twisting scripture to fit what the magisterium has declared.
The Bible says that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus and I’m standing on that promise. My past doesn’t define me. I’m a new creation. I’m a white as snow child of God. Hallelujah!

I have been thinking about three particular phrases. I see two of them online a lot, but the third is what we should be saying.
Inshallah: “if God wills.” In everyday Arabic speech it is a humble word. But in jihadist videos and statements it often appears attached to threats of violence: “more is coming, inshallah.” The conditional grammar remains, but the posture has become violence dressed up as piety.
Deus vult: “God wills it.” The old crusader cry has been revived as a slogan in far-right online spaces, often printed on memes and merchandise that glorify violence. Here there isn’t even a conditional. The speaker simply announces God’s verdict and attaches it to his own violent cause.
If saying “God wills it” is enough to sanctify violence, then anyone can justify just about any violence they want simply by saying the words. The phrase stops describing God’s will and starts disguising ours.
Then there is the Hebrew phrase, im yirtzeh HaShem: “If God (the Name) wills.” This phrase is often spoken over occasions like travel plans, a wedding date, a recovery, next year’s harvest. It does not threaten violence. It does not announce. It holds tomorrow with an open hand.
This is what James was getting at when writing “to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion.” He taught the assemblies:
“Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.’” - James 4:15
“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.” - Proverbs 19:21
The contrast is stark! Will we submit our plans to God’s will, or will we seek to bless our own, disguising them as God’s will? Even to the point of committing violence?

I am making a prediction. If the Lord doesn't come before we can quantify the long-term effects of AI on society, I predict that the world, especially America, is going to face a massive dementia crisis.
People have stopped using their brains to do even the simplest things. They are increasingly relying on AI to think, reason, write, calculate, and solve problems for them.
Research has linked lower levels of cognitive activity to an increased risk of dementia. The human brain needs exercise, just like the rest of the body. If we keep handing over our thinking to robots, what will the long-term consequences be?
I believe we may be creating a serious public health problem without even realizing it.

Do you want to understand why no man can see God and live, and why God had to make Himself known to us in a way we could relate to Him?
Imagine going outside on a sunny day and staring directly at the sun with your naked eyes for one minute. You probably wouldn’t even last that long! 😭
The sun is so powerful that looking directly at it can damage your eyes. And that’s just the sun, a created object, millions of miles away from us!
Now imagine standing in the presence of the One who created it. If a created thing can be this powerful, how much more the Creator Himself?
The Bible tells us that God dwells in unapproachable light (1 Timothy 6:16).
This is why God revealed Himself to us in a way we could understand and relate to. He came to us in the person of Jesus Christ!
Jesus is God made known to humanity. The invisible God revealed Himself through the Son so that we could know Him, see His character, hear His words, and understand His love.
As Jesus said in John 14:9, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
God didn’t remain distant and unknowable. He came to us! That is the beauty of the incarnation. That is the beauty of Jesus!
Happy SUNday!!

Anybody remember the days of full service gas stations?
Pull your vehicle up to those gas pumps, smiling attendants came out and pumped your gas for you, checked the air in the tires, cleaned your windshield and headlights, checked your oil and washer fluid and gave you trading stamps redeemable for nice prizes, and all for way under 50 cents a gallon.
The days when we had something called "customer service".
Interesting side note: New Jersey is the only U.S. state where it is illegal for drivers to pump their own gas at all stations, a mandate in place since 1949! All retail service stations must employ trained attendants to pump fuel, check oil, and clean windshields.

You claim Sola Scriptura, the Bible and the Bible alone. Yet, you willingly abandon a commandment written by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18) to observe a day that exists only because of the imperial edicts of a pagan emperor (Constantine) and the human canons of the Roman Catholic Church.
By keeping Sunday, Protestants reject their own foundational principle of the Bible alone, subconsciously bowing to the ecclesiastical authority of church tradition over the immutable Word of the Living God.

I had 2 sets of grandparents, one Catholic and one SDA. Raised Catholic and I am a SDA by choice.

Somehow, folks that actually prefer/enjoy reading KJV for their primary, but also read other versions as well, have gotten grouped along with being part of the KJV only ‘cult’.
I’ve personally read from that version since an early child. I feel comfortable reading it and it’s like an old shoe, only it won’t wear out. I don’t go around harping that this is the only/bestest/vip bible out there. Yet, I’m seeing repeated posts which at the very least are not very kind to KJV readers in general. 🤔
I think you’ll find the bulk of us don’t ‘harp’ or spend time trying to move the KJV bible version up above the other ones. We’re simply trying to spread the good news along with our brethren.
What a wonderful opportunity.
