Well if you’re reading this – You made it! 2025 is finally here and might I say “good riddance” to 2024. If you’re like me, you’re probably sick of elections, erections, distractions, drones, UFOs, movies, TV, fake news, fake views, celebrity (life, death, marriage, divorce), and countless other things. I’m sick of Trump – no matter what side of the aisle you’re on – you’re most likely wrong. I’m including myself here. I’m sick of hearing everybody’s theories on the end of the world – how about this – most, if not all of us, are gonna get that wrong – score one giant goal for God and the rest of us zero. We study to show ourselves approved… but not to lord over each other and be cruddy to each other. Without love, all I hear is a banging gong – and there are a lot of gong-bangers out there at the moment.
AI is gonna make us all slaves, (or at least replace most of us), beginning in the next six to twelve months. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out – of course, I’m assuming we haven’t nuked ourselves before then. The world seems itching for a major war right now. I frequently read and or listen to people who have divergent views on the end of this age and what happens next. All of them make great, well thought out Biblical arguments and none of them agree on the order of things. How is it that so many of my brothers in Christ can look at the same scriptures and not come to an agreement on what they mean? I love all of them. Some of them have to be wrong. It’s hard to figure out what to believe and even harder to study the end times for myself because I sense that my interpretation will be skewed by what books I study or how I study them or with whom I study them. Heck, my view may be skewed by which translation I choose to read, or which definitions I choose to use for original words, or how I interpret the Hebrew mindset…
All I can think going forward is that there is no better time to draw close to God, read God’s word and do my best to ignore the world. If I need to know about it, God will let me know, or someone I know will call me and say “dude, check this out”. I don’t want to read any more books about the Bible. I just want to read my Bible and pray. I hope anyone who reads this will spend some time seeking the only thing that matters in this time and for all time – Jesus Christ.
And church update: now at number 16.
