PASSOVER INCOMING!
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, March 31, 2026 – Just a quick reminder that Passover starts tomorrow evening (April 1st, at sundown) and continues into the Feast of Unleavened Bread, ending at nightfall next Wednesday. So if you haven’t yet bought/made your unleavened bread and wine (or wine substitute [I’m using grape pop lol]), now’s the time. Jesus directed us to observe the Passover in memory of him, and to do it as he showed us, so do it we must. It’s obligatory, not optional. Obligatory. And God directed us to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread throughout our generations, so observe it we will. Yeast out, matzah in!
Now’s also the perfect time to dig back into the Exodus and read the entire account of Moses in Egypt, up to and including the children of Israel’s flight into the wilderness. We bornagains live in that spiritual wilderness; and like the children of Israel, we too are protected by the constant presence of God’s Holy Spirit. They had God’s Spirit without; we have God’s Spirit within.
So, Hallelujah, God Bless You, and Bottom’s Up!
WHEN THE GOVERNMENT COMES FOR YOUR GUNS….
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, March 31, 2026 – This is Gary—gap-toothed, unphotogenic, come-from-away Gary. Gary is Canada’s current Minister of Public Safety, and Gary has vowed to strip Canadians of all legally purchased “assault-style” firearms that the government has since (as of 2020) declared illegal.
That’s a lot of legally purchased guns. And a lot of unhappy gun owners.
The mechanism Gary is using to strip Canadians of their legally acquired firearms is the “gun buyback” program. However, the program has thus far been a dismal failure, with nearly every law enforcement agency in the country politely declining to participate and only a handful of gunowners voluntarily cashing in their guns.
Let me state for the record that I do not have a gun (not even one that was “lost in an unfortunate boating accident…”). In fact, I never, until recently, considered owning a gun (let alone using one), but all this talk about “illegal gun” confiscation by the Canadian government—with threats of forcibly taking those guns after October 30th of this year—is making me warm to the idea of arming myself. And not just with any run-of-the-mill handgun or hunting rifle. No, siree. I’d get me one of those Rambo-style shoot-em-all-and-let-God-sort-em-out bad boys, which, if nothing else, would strike the fear of God into the hearts of whoever sees me coming.
Because that’s exactly what Jesus said we should do.
Jesus warned us that the day would come when we’d be considered outlaws simply for believing in him. And when that day arrived, we should arm ourselves, even if it means we’d have to sell the clothes off our backs to do so.
Now, I don’t think I’d have to sell the clothes off my back to buy a hunting rifle in Canada. Not yet, anyway. But it may very well take every shirt, sock, and shoe I own to acquire one of the guns now deemed illegal here, which frankly seem to me to be the only guns worth having.
The way I see it is this: Jesus didn’t want us to get a weapon to use it; he wanted us to get a weapon as a deterrent. The sight of the weapon itself—even without being used—should be sufficiently formidable to keep the undesirables at bay. I frankly can’t see any undesirables being scared off by us waving BB guns around when they’re toting semi-automatics, so the idea is to level the playing field: If the baddies are packing AR-15s, so should we.
Like I said, I hadn’t really paid much attention to those guns until Gary threatened to take them all away. Now they have my attention and I’m considering my options.
How much do you think I’d get for a “pre-loved” pair of Guccis?…
MY PRONOUNS AREN’T
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, March 30, 2026 – As Canada descends farther and farther into the far-left, pro-communist, low-trust, anti-Christ hell of its own making, I’m comforted by the knowledge that there are only two genders. I know there are only two genders—male and female—because God, through his Word, tells me so. No amount of propaganda or threats will convince me otherwise.
I’m glad that I don’t have to state my pronouns. I know I’m female, and anyone looking at me can easily see that I’m female – long hair, long skirt, female form, female smile. Feminine mannerisms, feminine gestures, and the seemingly magical ability to make a man open the door for me with just a slight tilt of my head and a pause. For me to have to state my pronouns in light of such overwhelming evidence would not only be redundant but silly.
If people looking at you can’t figure out whether you’re male or female, the problem is you. If people looking at me can’t figure out that I’m female without being told so, the problem is them.
As for the recent adoption of plural pronouns to refer to the singular (e.g., “I have a friend. Their name is Tommy”), a pox on everyone who misgrammars in this way! A singular should never be represented by a plural, and vice-versa. It’s just wrong. As a text editor and life-long grammarian, I am deeply offended when people misgrammar the singular as plural. Deeply offended.
I’m also offended when people refuse to acknowledge my sincerely held belief regarding the number of possible genders (two). Even as they demand I acknowledge and affirm whatever nonsense they’ve decided to spout for the day (tomorrow will surely bring different nonsense), they adamantly reject acknowledging or affirming my worldview. Instead, they dismiss it as “cis” or “White supremacist” or even fascist. But I’m not the one forcing my point of view on others on pain of cancelling, fines, cyberbullying, imprisonment, or death. I’m not the one running to Big Daddy Government to tell on me for saying something they don’t agree with and/or don’t like. I’m not the one demanding they be silenced.
As my grandmother used to say: If you don’t like what I’m saying, don’t listen to me. If you don’t like how I look, don’t look at me.
And if you don’t like what I’m writing here, don’t read it.
It’s really that simple.
Case closed.
NEVER SILENCED: ON BILL C-9 AND OTHER SIGNS OF THE COMING GREAT TRIBULATION
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, March 29, 2026 – One of the most definitive signs that we’ve entered the Great Tribulation will be the death of the worldly church. That means no more casual Christians, no more denominational Christians, and no more Christians-of-convenience (i.e., people who claim to be fleeing persecution as Christians in order to gain the generous asylum benefits of Western nations). During the Great Tribulation, the only people openly professing belief in God and claiming to be followers of Jesus will be genuine bornagain believers – that is, those who would rather be killed than deny who they are, because killed they will be, and brutally.
We can see from the ongoing presence of the worldly church that we’re not yet—thank God—in the Great Tribulation. We’ve been in the end times now for nearly 2000 years, but we haven’t entered the final stage. We’ll know when we do because, as I’ve mentioned, every vestige of Christianity will have been wiped from the earth, other than for the very rare and increasingly rarer saints, all of whom will have a bounty on their heads.
The end will be very much like it was in the beginning. Public preaching will be outlawed, and we’ll be forced into hiding and hounded from place to place until finally being arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and executed. Once the worldly church has been universally banned—like it is already in North Korea—only genuine believers will remain. No-one else will want to suffer for The Name.
The Canadian government is in the process of enshrining into law a bill (C-9) that removes the “good faith” protection from Canadians when they openly express what they sincerely believe, if what is being expressed is considered “hate speech”. Canadians were granted carte blanche permission by law to openly express what they sincerely believe back in 1970, but when “hate” laws were later thrown into the mix, stating your beliefs and using scripture to back them up started to come under scrutiny, especially when those beliefs concerned the “alphabetization” of Western society or the mass arrival in the West of demon worshipers claiming to worship God. That scrutiny has now turned into a clawing back of the permissions that I and most Canadians once took for granted. When this bill is passed into law within a month or two, much of what I’ve written here in this blog may be cause for me to be fined and/or thrown into jail for promoting so-called hate (otherwise known as God’s Truth).
The push-back to this looming law started as soon as the bill was introduced in Canada’s parliament last fall, but none of it will be successful because the bill has God’s permission. In other words, God himself – not parliamentarians and not even the devil – has deigned that Canadians have forfeited their “good faith” protection. As a nation, Canada has, in its “words and doings”, fallen so far away from God that it’s no longer recognized spiritually or geopolitically as a Christian nation. When a people remove themselves from God, God removes himself from them, and the demons rush in to claim the vacated spiritual turf.
We know that the world is under the authority of Satan, but Satan can only do what God permits him to do, and God will only permit him to do what has been earned either as a reward or a test. God is all-knowing and his justice is perfect; the Canadian parliamentarians aren’t pulling the wool over God’s eyes by sneaking through a law that targets his Word. Jesus reminded Pontius Pilate that he had power over Jesus only because God gave it to him, that God permitted Pontius Pilate to have power over Jesus for a time and for a reason because “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”. The power referenced by Jesus didn’t come from from Pontius Pilate but from God, just as the removal of the “good faith” protection under Canadian law doesn’t come from Canadian parliamentarians but from God.
The imminent passing of bill C-9 into law is yet another sign that we are nearing the start of the Great Tribulation. Other nations formerly known as Christian have passed (or are in the process of passing) similar bills into law. With their passage, the threat of fines and/or imprisonment will so constrain the application of God’s Word to everyday life—will so water down what can be shared publicly—that preaching will soon become little more than a feel-good pep talk made agreeable even to unbelievers. This reward, sadly, has been earned. The worldly church will persist for a while, but in such an increasingly emaciated and bloodless form to be nearly inconsequential. When the church is finally outlawed in the name of cultural diversity or some other doctrine of devils, it will be a mercy killing, as the late-stage worldly church will be Christian in name only.
We, however, the Church founded by Jesus Christ and empowered by God’s Holy Spirit, will continue until Jesus comes back to take the last of us Home. We in the Kingdom cannot be silenced, any more than the two anointed witnesses prophesied to preach during the Great Tribulation will be silenced. We may be banned, yes; fined, yes; outlawed, yes; hounded, yes; imprisoned, yes; and killed, yes, but never silenced, because even in our death, the Word God spoke through us will resound.
No law on Earth can stop that.
“Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
Matthew 24:35
WHO IS ISRAEL?
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, March 8, 2026 – Just a gentle and timely reminder that all wars since the time of Jesus’ resurrection are Satan’s wars; that we’re to love our enemies as well as our neighbors; and that the geopolitical state of Israel is not the spiritual Israel prophesied in the Bible.
We are Israel.
Born-again followers of Jesus are the prophesied Israel.
May these truths inform all your actions.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

THE ONE JOB SAFE FROM AI
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, February 19, 2026 – Matt Shumer is a self-professed artificial intelligence (AI) expert. I’m not knocking him for that; just stating a fact. He’s also likely not bornagain, so he can be forgiven for not knowing AI’s defining feature – it’s not a soul. And not being a soul, it can never have God’s Holy Spirit in it.
We have God’s Spirit in us. That’s our defining feature. Being bornagain doesn’t mean we’re eternally saved (that determination comes at the Judgement); being bornagain means that God’s Holy Spirit is in us at all times, not just on occasion like with the Old Testament prophets. God’s Spirit is in us in the same way God’s Spirit was in Jesus during his time on Earth. But this indwelling of God’s Holy Spirit can never happen to an AI because it isn’t a soul.
I’m a soul. You’re a soul. All beings on Earth created by the Living God are souls. We don’t have a soul; we are a soul. This part of me that’s communicating with that part of you is communicating soul-to-soul, and that’s the part of us that’s eternal. Our bodies are mortal, but our souls are immortal. I’m speaking to you from my soul, not from my brain (or any other part of my body). An AI can’t do that because an AI isn’t a soul.
And not being a soul—not being a living being created by God—an AI can never be regenerated and therefore can never have God’s Holy Spirit in it. Which means that an AI can never be a prophet, as it can’t know God.
Matt Shumer, that AI high-tech guy I referenced above, recently published a paper (likely AI-generated lol) warning people that AI was coming for their jobs. We’ve heard this warning before from other people, but coming from Shumer the warning was particularly intriguing, given that he’s made his fortune promoting AI. Shades of Dr. Frankenstein warning that his monster is about to break free of its chains? Perhaps. There’s an undercurrent of fear in Shumer’s “manifesto”, but also a hint of parental pride.
Shumer took especial pains to address anyone who wasn’t as impressed with AI’s achievements as he thought they should be. He cautioned them not to judge AI by the free models or cheap subscriptions available online (which he insisted are already outdated and outperformed, like flip-phones compared to the latest smart phone models). Instead, we’re to seek out and purchase the most recent and advanced AI options, and to constantly update them. This is because AI is not improving linearly but exponentially. Even yesterday’s model has been superseded by the one released just this morning.
This fast-paced consumer-driven AI hamster wheel that Shumer invites us to jump onto like some high-tech Noah’s ark is allegedly our only hope for surviving an AI-dominated future. And this future, according to Dr. Shumerstein, has already begun. He urges us not only to embrace this ever-evolving tool, but to make it an integral part of our everyday lives. If we can’t stay ahead of AI developments (it’s allegedly, according to Shumer, already too late for that), we can at least be aware of those developments and leverage them to our benefit. This is the only way to avoid being replaced by AI in our jobs.
But the one job Shumer didn’t mention as being entirely beyond AI’s capacity is the job we landed by default the day we were born again – the job of being God’s prophet. Not being a soul, AI can never have God’s Holy Spirit living in it and so can never speak as a prophet of God. It can repeat God’s words, but it can never directly hear from God. God will never speak directly through an AI, which means it can never prophesy.
So, as long we remain bornagain and in good spiritual standing with God, our jobs are safe.
HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, February 15, 2026 – A couple of months ago, I did an internet search to try to find an online source for how to unbecome a freemason or a member of any other oath-swearing organization that was really a cover for serving the devil. The search results were pretty slim-pickin’s. There were a few YouTube videos made by allegedly former freemasons who insisted that you just needed to stop paying your fees and then send a letter to your lodge (or whatever) informing them that you’re out. Another online source swore that renouncing your oath was all it took and that once you’d done that, you could otherwise continue your life as usual. No extra effort required.
Then there was the guy who claimed that there’s no way out at all, that you can’t unswear what you’d sworn. Now this I knew to be false, so I immediately hopped into the conversation to state that if you really want out, you can get out. About a millisecond after I hit “Send”, a notification popped up that my account had been temporarily suspended pending a review. A few seconds after that, another pop-up informed me that I’d been permanently banned from the subreddit, with no option for appeal. I was also advised to seek help from a certified mental health specialist. I hadn’t even realized that I was on a Reddit thread (let alone r/freemason, lol); I’d just responded to a statement online that I knew was false. That level of lie I could not let stand.
The auto-ban and accompanying auto-insult was meant to silence not just me but anyone who dared suggest the possibility of getting out of the oath, but Truth cannot be silenced. Truth always finds a way. And so, for whomsoever will and whosoever wants to hear it, I will now inform you how you can get out of whatever oath you swore that bound you to the devil. This includes oaths made by witches, occultists, and other devil worshipers, as well as those sworn when joining professional organizations.
- 1: Genuine desire to get out
First and foremost, the desire to get out of your oath has to be genuine and come from deep down inside you. It can’t be something that just sounds like a good idea; it has to be soul-driven and all-consuming. It has to obsess you to the point that it’s all that you want and all you can think about, so much so that you’re willing to do whatever it takes to get out of the deal. Because it will likely take everything you have, including potentially your earthly body. If you’re not willing to give it all, stop reading right here. This is not for you.
- 2: Make your request to God
Once you’ve decided that you’re willing to do whatever it takes, you need to tell it to God. You need to bypass everyone and everything and go directly to God. Go to him in prayer. Humble yourself before God and tell him what you want. If your desire is genuine, he already knows, but he needs to hear it from you. You need to form the words in your heart and give them to him. This is your formal request to get out. (Note that I’ve also heard such requests made in howls and sobs. These are acceptable to God, too.)
- 3: Endure the tests
If God accepts your request, the tests will come. Words, as we well know, are cheap. So are desires. You may want out of your oath today, but tomorrow you might change your mind. So God will test you over time to see if your request is real or just a passing whim.
The tests are not easy. They are, however, a sign that your request has been taken onboard by God and is being considered. This is the best possible outcome of your request.
You’ll know you’re being tested because the hardships are sudden and brutal. You’ll lose everything you gained from the time you started formally serving Satan. That might mean you’ll lose your job, your wealth, your social connections and status, your reputation, your degrees, and even your family. Your health might also precipitously decline, if it was being propped up by services and devices you could only access because of your oath-related connections. You’ll be subjected to what can only be described as Job-level testing. How you endure those tests will determine whether or not you successfully get out of your oath, so make up your mind to endure them. Don’t fight them. Don’t question them. Don’t complain about them. Endure them.
- 4: You’re out
If God is satisfied that your request is genuine, he’ll direct Satan to release you from your bonds. God might also direct you to submit a formal letter to whatever organization you signed on with to inform them that you denounce your oath and that you’re out. This letter is not performative; it’s a witness. It’s a statement of fact that cannot be denied. It’s also a final kiss good-bye, so make it kind. Make it charitable. Maybe even include a copy of this “How to” in case someone else in the organization wants out, too.
You (or better said, your earthly body) may or may not survive long after you send the letter, but your soul will have escaped the worst. You may end up penniless, outcast, defamed, ridiculed, disease-ridden, and not long for this world, but you won’t be serving the devil anymore, which means your eternity looks bright. This is your best possible outcome.
- 5: Stay resolved
You’ll be out, but the tests will continue in a different way. Think of it as being marooned alone on a desert island after having survived a shipwreck. You’ve proven through enduring your initial battery of tests that you genuinely wanted out of your deal with the devil; now you’ll have to prove that you won’t go back on your decision, because every day will bring temptations to return to your old life, that is, to return to serving Satan. You cannot escape being tempted, not while you’re in your earthly body, so resolve now to continue to endure, no matter the cost. That’s the only way you’ll make it through to the end: Resolve to endure.
AFTERWORD
If you genuinely want out of your oath to the devil, know that you’ll be spiritually supported in ways that you have no idea exist. The Spirit calling you out is infinitely stronger than the spirits clawing you back. If you genuinely want out, you’ll get out, as long as you accept with humility whatever God requires of you. Humble endurance is the key.
Your eternal reward will be worth it.
ON ONE WORLD RELIGION
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, February 10, 2026 – The god of Islam is not my God. Neither is the god of post-resurrection Judaism. These cults do not worship Jesus’ Father. That we all worship the same “deity” is a lie. As a born-again believer, I worship the Father of Jesus who, since my rebirth, is my Father, too. I don’t know who or what Muslims and modern Jews worship, and frankly I don’t want to know.
I am not spiritually yoked together with anyone who isn’t a born-again believer. The Christian ecumenism being pushed by the worldly church is bad enough, but framing the “three Abrahamic religions” as spiritually equal is an abomination. The first time I went into an airport “Worship Centre” (formerly known as a chapel), I felt like I’d entered a pagan (i.e., demonic) zone. Muslim “holy books” were piled on top of Jewish “holy books” piled on top of the Holy Bible. Loosely rolled “prayer rugs” were piled in the corner. What had formerly been a sanctuary for quiet reflection—a place to calm one’s pre- or post-flight nerves—had become a pop-up exercise studio. All that was missing was driving-beat music.
While I sat there silently reading the Bible, a steady parade of men came and went. Some unrolled a rug and assumed various yoga-like positions while chanting and occasionally howling. Others sat muttering and rocking back and forth like the poor tormented souls I’d seen in videos of insane asylums. These were not my spiritual brethren, these howling, chanting, rocking humans. If this is how they worship, you cannot convince me that they and I worship the same God.
In the public realm, I gladly do business with Muslims and Jews. I treat them as I do everyone else. I do not discriminate based on any metric. But I cannot worship with them because we do not worship the same Being. There are no “three Abrahamic religions”: There is only God, the Father of Jesus, who is also the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, and the God of born-again believers. There has only ever been one God, and Jesus is his one and only Messiah.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.
FAMILY?
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, February 10, 2026 – In the worldly church, much is made of the ideal “holy family” of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. But the truth is that during his ministry years, Jesus didn’t get along very well with his family. They were estranged and at odds with him, refusing to believe that he was the Messiah. They even at one point tried to stop his ministry, prompting Jesus to declare publicly that his real family was “those who do the will of [his] Father in Heaven”.
Scripture says that God will take us “one of a city” and “two of a family” – not whole cities and not whole families, but only a select few (or less) from each. This, too, is at odds with worldly church propaganda, which falsely promotes the assured heavenly destination of even the shakiest of believers. What we can see from the Gospel narrative is that the holy family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph existed for brief moments in time, not constantly throughout their years as a family unit. Mary and some of Jesus’ other blood relatives didn’t even accept Jesus was the Messiah until after his crucifixion.
I mention all this because we too, as born-again believers, likely have unbelieving families. It’s baked into scripture and therefore into our lived reality. If Jesus went through the experience of being the sole believer in his family, so will we. It’s nothing to fight and nothing to lament.
Still, living among and socializing with spiritually hostile blood relatives can be a trial in the truest sense of the word. It’s meant to be a trial and we’re expected to handle it properly. By “properly”, I mean like Jesus handled it. And how did he handle it? By limiting his interactions with his unbelieving relatives. By refusing to compromise who and what he was in God’s eyes. By putting his duty to God ahead of his duty to his blood relatives. By prioritizing doing God’s will and God’s will only.
It can be a minefield to tread among unbelieving relatives, especially when some of them are actively working against you. When Jesus said that we’ll find our worst enemies among our own kith and kin, and he wasn’t overstating or being dramatic. God will permit Satan to use these people to test us, because where more frequently do we “let our hair down” and just be ourselves than among those we grew up with? It’s in these familiar and intimate settings that God wants to see how we respond to provocations. Out in the world among strangers, we act and react self-protectively—at arm’s length—whereas within the bosom of our families we tend to do and say things without overthinking them. It’s in these raw uncalculated moments that God can best assess our spiritual development.
A case in point for me is having “pagan” witches and freemason witches as relatives. How am I, as a born-again believer, to interact with these servants of Satan? The same way my believing grandmother used to interact with me before I was born-again – with patience, with kindness, and with copious behind-the-scenes prayers. It helps for me to remember the many kindnesses these relatives did before they signed on with the devil. Paul says that if there’s anything good in a person, we should think on that, and so I do. While it’s highly unlikely that these people will ever renounce their satanic oaths, that’s not my business. My business is to pray for whoever God guides me to pray for in the way that God shows me. The rest I let be.
Even within his own immediate family, Jesus experienced the emotional minefield of interacting with spiritual enemies. Thanks to the record of the Gospels, we know how he dealt with them. We are to do the same.
THE CHURCH INDESTRUCTIBLE
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, February 9, 2026 – Jesus never intended for us to gather in a building to pray and worship. In fact, shortly before his crucifixion, Jesus said that going to the temple in Jerusalem and doing the things that were done there (rituals, rites, sacrifices, etc.) would soon no longer be required, that the temple of stone would be replaced with the temple of his risen body. By “temple”, he meant the Church. As born-agains, we know that the Church is the collective of Holy Spirit-filled believers that exist on Earth at any given time. Even without a building (and especially without a building), the Church will exist until Jesus comes back to take the last of his followers Home.
Paul also, in laying the foundation for the worldly church, never designated certain buildings as prayer and worship sites. When he talked about the church in this or that city or town, he meant people who identified as believers (some were born-again believers, some weren’t) who lived there. He was not referring to a building or (God forbid) a denomination. To Paul, the church was made up of those who believed that Jesus was the prophesied Messiah. Rebirth wasn’t a prerequisite in Paul’s worldly church as it was in Jesus’ Church. If you’re genuinely born-again, you know what I mean.
Then somewhere along the way, the building itself started to be called “the church”, and people rallied around the building instead of rallying around God and Jesus. So when the building a.k.a. church was emptied or demolished, the impression was that the body of believers had likewise shrivelled and died. This is the devil’s doing, to inspire a building to be called a church rather than the body of believers to be called the Church, as Jesus intended. This is the devil’s doing, and he’s been very successful at dividing the falling house of nominal believers through creeds, denominations, and deconsecrated structures.
The demolishing of buildings designated as churches, or their revamping into condos, mosques, or other worldly or spiritual uses, is mainly for optics, like a notch in the devil’s belt or a feather in his cap. Yes, the worldly church, built as it is on the shaky ground of self-identifying belief rather than God-inspired belief, is ultimately destined for destruction, but the Church whose cornerstone is Jesus cannot be destroyed. It is by very definition indestructible. Having its presence solely in the spiritual realm, the Church of genuine born-again believers is fully protected by God through his Holy Spirit and will persist until Jesus comes back in glory to take his remnant Home.
We, the Church built on Jesus, are not called to worship and “fellowship” in a building that is little more than a social club but to reach out to one another constantly in prayer, to support one another constantly in prayer, and to love one another constantly in prayer. Jesus said that’s how we’ll be known, by our love for one another – not for our love for the world, but for one another. I pray for you and you pray for me, even if we don’t know each other by name or know that the other exists. We can rest assured that the Church Indestructible does exist (if it didn’t, none of us would be here), and it is for this Church that we’re to send up our most fervent prayers.
Because as long as the Church exists, the world exists; and as long as the world exists, there is still hope for some. But when the last of us leaves – and God’s Holy Spirit leaves with us – hope will be no more.
A BORN-AGAIN BELIEVER
