Monday Meditation: More Myself

 

  

"I have been crucified with Christ, in Him I have shared His crucifixion; 
it is no longer I who live, but Christ the Messiah lives in me;and the life
 I now live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God, 
Who loved me, and gave Himself up for me." 
(Galatians 2:20)

CHRISTIANITY isn't a narcotic that dulls you into obedience.

It involves battle-it's excruciating to give up control.

But that is why we must not feel despair if we are struggling.
To struggle does not mean we are incorrigible. It means we are alive!

A disciple says, "I hear You, Lord.  It's the nuttiest thing I ever heard of.
It's risky. I'll look like a fool, but I'll do it. Because my life is no longer
committed to doing my thing but Your thing."

Heaven will not be filled with innocent people, running around and saying,
"Oh, there was another way? I guess I never noticed."  Rather, they will say,
"You bet there were other options that begged to control me. By God's grace
and my struggle, Jesus is my Lord."

Is Jesus' desire to be the Lord of our lives some little fetish of His?
Why is it so important to Him? Why should we want Him to have
 control of our lives? Besides the fact that He deserves it because 
 of who He is, He knows He is the only one in the universe who 
can control us without destroying us. 

No one will ever love you like Jesus.

No one will ever know you better, care more for your wholeness. 

The last breath Jesus breathed on this planet was for you.

Jesus will meet you wherever you are and He will help you.

He is not intimidated by past failures, broken promises, or wounds.
He will make sense out of your brokenness. But He can only begin to be
 the Lord of your life today, not next Monday, or next month, but now.
And the great and joyful paradox is that while He totally transforms us,
He makes us more ourselves than ever before.

Rare Blue Moon Rises Tonight

 

 

   There's a moon out tonight, the second full moon of the month,
or what astronomers call, "a blue moon".

  The moon, however, won't be blue in color, and as a 'micro moon' 
will appear smaller than an average full moon.

 However, Luna in all her celestial glory, will be a beautiful
 sight to see on this last evening in the month of May. 

 The next "blue moon" will not occur until the year 2037.

 🌕I hope the skies are clear where you are at tonight!🌕

Where The Spirit Of The Lord Is There Is True Liberty

 

 

"Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit."
-President Ronald Reagan

 The Democratic-sponsored, "Reproductive Rights and Trans Rights Bill" SS260
 passed last week in the NJ Senate 23-12 along party lines. Two Democrats
 and two Republicans were absent, while one Republican member abstained.

 As the New Jersey Monitor reports, "The bill would create a new crime of 
interfering with reproductive healthcare services and expand the definition of
those services to include healthcare for trans patients, building on existing laws
designed to shield abortion clinics, staff, volunteers, and patients from violence
and harassment. Advocates said additional protections are needed given the
Trump Administration's efforts to curtail these services."

However, a statement released the same day by the NJ Republican Caucus states:

"This bill is dangerously vague, unfairly subjective, and represents a direct threat to
the constitutional protections guaranteed under the First Amendment. No one should
face criminal punishment because another person subjectively interprets words, opinions,
or political viewpoints as emotionally distressing. The bill's broad language creates a
chilling effect on public discourse and opens the door to government overreach.

Free speech is one of the foundational rights upon which this nation was built,
especially speech that may be unpopular, controversial, or offensive to some.
Once government is empowered to criminalize expression based on emotional
reaction rather than clear criminal conduct, every citizen's right are at risk.
New Jersey residents expect lawmakers to focus on the cost of living, 
 public safety, and improving quality of life, not advancing legislation 
 that undermines constitutional freedoms." 

This new law also violates the rights of citizens as guaranteed under
the New Jersey State Constitution: Article 1:4 clearly states: "Every
person may freely speak, write, and publish his sentiments on all
subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right. No law shall
 be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press."

Although the primary sponsors of this legislation claim that it is
necessary to protect doctors as well as patients seeking to have an
abortion or a trans-surgery from being threatened by  protesters
blocking the entrances or restraining someone from entering a 
facility which performs these procedures, the total number of
abortions has significantly increased in our state every year
since the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in 2022.

 "Since the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, New Jersey lawmakers have codified abortion
rights and enacted other protections for both patients and providers,"  reports the Philly Voice
 in an article published in January, 2026. This included passing a "shield law" to prevent
 states that ban or restrict the procedure from holding out-of-state patients
 and their New Jersey-based providers criminally or civilly liable for abortions.

Marie Tasy of New Jersey Right to Life claims that abortion is rising in New Jersey,
because "the state keeps pouring hundreds of millions of taxpayer money into providers that
 perform abortions, while targeting pregnancy-resource centers that offer women real choices.
The surge in abortions here are a tragic reminder that our policies aren't just wrong, 
 they're perverse, she added. It's a number to be mourned, not celebrated."

Her statement regarding the state targeting pregnancy centers brings to mind the
current New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport, who is continuing what
seems to be a personal and vindictive crusade against a faith-based, pregnancy
resource center in New Jersey.

Despite a recent Supreme Court ruling in the center's favor over the state's violation 
 of their First Amendment rights, First Choice Pregnancy Resource Center 
 is still being unduly harassed by AG Davenport.

As Alliance Defending Freedom reports:  "For more than two years, New Jersey state 
officials have targeted First Choice simply because they dislike its pro-life views." 

First Choice offers women facing an unplanned pregnancy the very best of care,
 no-cost health services, including ultrasounds, as well as compassionate, non-judgmental
counseling and education classes.  They want their clients to know and to understand
that they have an alternative choice to abortion, and can make an informed choice
in the best interests for themselves and their unborn child.  While the State of
New Jersey has failed miserably in protecting women and children, First Choice,
and other faith-based pregnancy centers here, are making life better for all 
concerned, including the offer of counseling to perspective fathers-to-be!

 This leads me back to consider the above clause regarding freedom
 of speech in New Jersey, and in particular, the words that declare
that it is a citizen's duty in "being responsible for the abuse of
that right."  Does A.G. Davenport even know what this means?

NJ Constitution Art. VII Sect:1 Para:1 states: "Every State officer before taking office
must take and subscribe an oath or affirmation to support the Constitution of this State
and of the United States and to perform the duties of his (or her) office faithfully,
 impartially, and justly to the best of his (or her) ability." 

Unfortunately, protecting freedom of speech in New Jersey now seems irrelevant
to many of our elected officials in Trenton, as does the need for impartiality, in
what is now designated as an "abortion and trans refugee sanctuary state".

Satan is not only a master deceiver, but, one of his greatest weapons 
is appealing to fallen human beings through their emotions.  

  Scripture tells us that he appears as an "angel of light". However, not everything
 Satan does is bad or makes bad things happen. At least, not at first. Sometimes, he
 can initiate something which appears to be good and beneficial, or serves to
 "enlighten" the minds of people into thinking they are doing something good
 for others or for the benefit of society.  But it is all a big lie. 

The Lord Jesus Christ warned us about the nature of Satan.

"He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth because
there is no truth in him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural
to him, for he himself is a liar and the father of lies and all that is false."
(John 8:44)

 As the god of this world, Satan knows he is running out of time. He knows that
 he will not be able to stop the plans and purposes of God, so he is concentrating
all his efforts on destroying God’s greatest creation, mankind, through lies and 
 deceptions, and especially, the kind which prey on human emotions.

 If he can convince people to believe that an unborn baby is not really a human being,
created in the very likeness and image of God Himself, and that aborting an unborn child 
   is the mother's right, or, that someone who identifies as trans-gender was not born  
the sex which God made them, or entice those holding political office to believe that
  they are above the laws of both God and man, and can misuse their authority to
  pass legislation which protects the guilty, while punishing the innocent, then
they have succeeded in giving Satan what he truly craves, allegiance and worship.

   And in turn, as the Lord warned us, the enemy, who has been a murderer 
from the very beginning, will ultimately target their souls for destruction.

Fortunately, there is still hope in this lost and fallen world if people
  choose to place their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 "But, when anyone turns in repentance to the Lord, the veil is
stripped off and taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit and where
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, emancipation from bondage."
(2 Corinthians 3:16-17)

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday Poetry Corner: Yesterday, Today, And Tomorrow

Yesterday's dead, tomorrow's unborn,

So there's nothing to fear and nothing to mourn,

For all that is past and all that has been

Can never return to be lived once again...

And what lies ahead or the things that will be

Are still in God's hands, so it is not up to me.

To live in the future that is God's great unknown,

For the past and the present God claims for His own...

All I need to do is to live for today

And trust God to show me the truth and the way.

For it's only the memory of things that have been

And expecting tomorrow to bring trouble again

That fills my today, which God wants to bless,

With uncertain fears and borrowed distress...

For all I need live for is this one little minute,

For life's here and now and eternity's in it.
