Today’s word was ‘Undercurrent’.  It spoke to me of what is beyond the reach of this world.  I found this site to be helpful: https://jonathancdow.com/god-of-the-undercurrent.  In it, Jonathan expresses what it is to be more interested in what God is bringing his way, than the regular flotsam and jetsam that comes our way.  Enjoy!

Back in the day, Dan Henderson and his Dad invited me to come and perform at Bless Fest.  It was a totally free event in downtown Lansing, MI.  There were many different types of bands that played at it – rap, rock, gospel, worship, and acoustic etc., games for kids, and good food for all.

I don’t think much has changed since those days.  It’s been going on every summer for over 20 years, and this year it will be August 24th, 25th, and 26th.  More information can be found on their website at:

The word today is ‘Syllogism’ as God is my logic in this emerging ‘post-Christian’ culture.  Why do they want to embrace madness?  With a laugh and a smile, they lead us to our doom.  After all, with enough money, a bribe can change definitions too.  Well, no matter what may come, choose this day Whom you will serve.  Your decision may not show up in the voting box, but how we live each day does.

I found this site to be helpful, https://apologetics.com/syllogisms-bible/.  I used it to help explain what ‘syllogism’ was to my wife.  Paul’s reasoning in 2 Corinthians 5 was not as easily put into syllogistic form as I thought.  Maybe I’m wrong?  I found his comments to be too complex and had to ‘dumb’ them down a bit.  An example from John 3:16 that I used in today’s septet was, “You loved the world.  I am part of this world.  You love me.”  It may be a bit elementary, but that’s what I got.

My ‘R’ word today is ‘Rainbow’.  God gave us His rainbow to “be the sign of the covenant between (God) and the earth.”  Now, I always think about when my daughter told God during our nightly prayers that she wanted to see a rainbow the next day.  During the next day, when we picked her up from school, there was a double rainbow in the sky above the school’s exit.  It was awesome, and for years has helped to reinforce in her that God hears her.

I saw this video today and was blown away by the faith of North Korean Christians.  Evangelism-through-tied-chair, thankfully, was not how my daughter got to know God.  Let us remember the Koreans, North & South, as we pray for our brothers and sisters around the world.
