1-1-21 2021- What is It That You Seek

In the 1991 movie Silence of the Lambs Dr. Hannibal Lecter asked FBI agent Clarice Starling a profound question," What is it that you seek Clarice?" As 2021 rapidly approaches we each need to ask ourselves the same question. The answer to the question changes for most people as they progress through the different stages of life. For most people it will take them their entire lifetime to reach a conclusion that will bring peace and fullfillment to their life.Unfortunately some people don't live that long and enter eternity unprepared and lost. If 2020 has taught humanity anything and if you can get past the normalcy bias that we have been programmed into you realize that we only have the micro-second that we exist in now. If you are seeking earthly pleasures rather than spiritual advancement you probably won't be a happy camper in 2021 but even more you might lose the most important thing that you possess, your eternal Soul. Your soul will either be your greatest blessing or your greatest curse.You will decide which one it will be. Your soul is eternal, it's never going to die or be destroyed. Since you were conceived in your Mother's womb it's been with you. Because of the fall of man we all are born with a flawed soul that is lacking something, someone to make it whole and complete. We are all born in the image of God but we are not automatically a child of God. We have to make a choice to become His child and there is only one person that can bring our soul to Him. That person is His Son,our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who loved all of humanity past, present, and future so much that He suffered a torturous death in our place so that our new bodies and eternal souls could have fellowship with Him and His Father forever. A lot of people didn't survive 2020 and entered into eternity some to Hell others to Heaven. 2021 will be no exception in fact it will be worse that 2020 was. The odds of physically surviving this coming year is not in anyone's favor and only God knows for sure. So as we approach the final hours of 2020 I ask you, "What is It that you Seek?"

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
