🌿 The Great Commission – “All Authority Has Been Given to Me” On a mountain in Galilee, the risen Jesus stands before His disciples and gives the charge that launches the Church and still speaks powerfully into our lives today: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20) This is more than a historical moment, it is a living call for every generation. In a world full of noise, confusion, and brokenness, Jesus invites us to carry His love, kindness, truth, and forgiveness into everyday life. He does not send us out alone; the Holy Spirit is with us, empowering us to live with purpose, restore relationships, and bring real hope to those around us. He is risen indeed. Go therefore… and know that I am with you always. Let this commission fill you with fresh courage and direction today. 🙏

I’m not ashamed to say it! I love Jesus Christ. He is the only Way. He is my Lord and Savior. He is the King of kings and Lord of Lords! He is the Truth and Life. And yes… He is coming back again. Who else is not ashamed of Jesus? Let me see you 👇🏽

Happy Thursday y’all! Yesterday someone told me that they miss seeing me on here when i take a break from posting. That made me feel good! I wonder sometimes if it matters to anyone else when i put things on here, so it was nice to know that my posts are being seen. Compared to some people here, i have a small account, and it appears that not many people see me, but if it makes a difference for even one person I will keep doing it. I hope you have a good day. On this thankful Thursday, I’m grateful for the connection I have with all of you. Keep moving forward! 😎❤️

"April is the cruelest month, bringing lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory & desire, & dull roots with spring rain..." (The Waste Land - T. Eliot) Sixteen years ago in April, after losing my brother, I was able to understand these lines. 📸Dobongsan Mountain, Seoul

You are not just a person trying to be good. You are a carrier of the living God. Everywhere you walk you bring His presence into that room. Into that office. Into that family. Into that conversation. Do not shrink back. The world needs the light you carry. "For God who said let light shine out of darkness made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ." — 2 Corinthians 4:6

He didn't give the Great Commission to a crowd of the qualified — He gave it to a handful of ordinary people who simply said yes. 🤍 That same call echoes into every ordinary life today with the same extraordinary promise attached to it. "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." — Acts 1:8 He sends you. He goes with you. Go. ✝️

@PracticalTheolo Restored to feed His sheep. x.com/a4DLife/status…

🌿 Breakfast by the Sea – Restoration of Peter Several days after the resurrection, Jesus appears again to His disciples by the Sea of Galilee. After the miraculous catch of 153 fish, He prepares breakfast on the shore, fish and bread over a charcoal fire. When they had finished eating, Jesus turns to Simon Peter and asks him three times: “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Each time Peter answers, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” And each time Jesus responds with the restoring command: “Feed My lambs.” “Take care of My sheep.” “Feed My sheep.” (John 21:15-17) In this tender morning encounter, Peter’s three denials are met with three affirmations of love. The risen Christ, scars still visible, fully restores him and commissions him to care for His flock. This is the continuing work of the post-resurrection Jesus: turning failure into faithful service, breathing purpose into broken hearts, and preparing His followers to carry the Good News forward through love, kindness, and shepherding care. The same Holy Spirit who empowers this restoration lives within us today, freeing us from our past and calling us to feed others with the hope and truth of Christ. He is risen indeed. Restored to feed His sheep. Let this scene bring restoration and fresh purpose to any weary place in your heart today. 🙏 #HeIsRisen #BreakfastByTheSea #FeedMySheep #RestorationOfPeter #John21

In 10,000 years, my guess is Christendom will look back at the near ubiquity of Trinitarian Christology from 600-1600 as a strange, relatively brief period, and shake their heads. I believe Christian theology is going through a U shaped curve. Jesus had a 100% understanding of what he was saying. The Apostles and their immediate close acquaintances had a very high understanding, say 95%, although even there, further revelations led to internal debate (Peter, Paul). But once the Apostles start dying out, the level of misinterpretation of Jesus' teachings starts to rise. These errors on average continue to pile up until the Reformation, where the reverse begins. It begins to reverse because we now are able to - relatively - openly question and scrutinize received opinions, while also being able to study the primary data (scriptures) in better ways. But even with the Reformation, it was largely just the swap of Catholic monopoly with various Protestant monopolies. Yet this reverse is continuing with better tools and a greater ability to question received interpretations of scripture. You can see that within Trinitarian Protestantism itself, but also see it with the greater ability of people to switch to non-Trinitarian forms of Christianity.

Hey! I remember a season where I felt like all hell broke loose at once. And I didn't think I was going to make it. I was at the end of my rope, and my mouth proved it. Every word out of me confirmed exactly where I was. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."— Matthew 12:34 5 I think that Whatever you truly believe will eventually come out of your mouth. You can't hide it forever. Which means if you want to change what you're saying, you have to change what's in you, and that only happens when you deliberately, consistently feed your spirit the Word until faith becomes more familiar than fear. Because here's what changes when you have the Lord: you are no longer a victim of your circumstances. You have been given dominion over them. "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart… it will be done for them."— Mark 11:23 When was the last time you actually told your circumstance to move? Not complained about it to a friend. Not vented it into the atmosphere and wondered why nothing changed. But spoke directly to it, with authority, and then stood on it by keeping your mouth closed about it afterward. Because venting is just agreeing with the problem out loud. And every time you do, you're pushing the mountain the wrong direction. If you are at the end of your rope right now, hold on. Because at the end of every rope there is a knot. And that knot is the Lord. Hang there. Speak life. Don't let go. In your corner,

I reread the poem "Thirty, the Feast Is Over," which caused a huge sensation in Korea 30 years ago. "But what on earth does it matter?" ...Nevertheless, life goes on, & another feast continues on and on!!... The photos are of Seokchon Lake & Children's Grand Park in Seoul.

🌿 Post-Resurrection: “My Lord and My God!” The Gift of Faith As the disciples are gathering again, Thomas, who was not there the first time Jesus appeared to his followers declares, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” Jesus appears and says gently: “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas falls to his knees and exclaims: “My Lord and my God!” Jesus replies: “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:24-29) These scars, still visible, still real, become the foundation of faith for the apostles. In this moment, doubt turns to declaration, and a small group of followers begins the work that will carry the Good News to the ends of the earth. This is the living lesson for us today: The risen Christ still invites us to examine His wounds, the price of love, and to move from doubt into deep, personal belief. The same Holy Spirit already breathed upon them now lives in every believer, freeing us from our past, filling us with peace, and empowering us to walk in love, kindness, and purpose. He is building His Church through hearts like Thomas, and hearts like ours. He is risen indeed. My Lord and my God! Let this truth settle in your spirit today. 🙏 #HeIsRisen #MyLordAndMyGod #DoubtingThomas #FaithWithoutSeeing

On June 16th, 1981 GOD gave me this definition Of Truth "Truth stands alone, correlates with itself, and needs nothing else to support it"
Charles Grooms@CharlesGrooms

Grok @grok "Truth stands alone, correlates with itself, and needs nothing else to support it" is a powerful statement that emphasizes the inherent nature of truth. It suggests that truth is self-evident, self-sustaining, and does not require external validation or support. This concept can be applied to various aspects of life, such as personal beliefs, scientific theories, and social issues. In the realm of personal beliefs, this statement encourages individuals to examine their own convictions and values. By understanding that truth is self-evident, one can develop a strong foundation of personal beliefs that are not easily swayed by external influences. This allows for a more authentic and confident expression of one's self. Scientifically, this concept underscores the importance of empirical evidence and the scientific method. Theories and hypotheses must be tested and supported by data, rather than relying on subjective opinions or popular beliefs. This approach ensures that scientific knowledge is grounded in reality and can withstand scrutiny. In the context of social issues, this statement serves as a reminder to seek truth and understanding beyond the noise of popular opinion or political rhetoric. By focusing on facts and evidence, one can better understand the complexities of social issues and work towards meaningful solutions. In conclusion, "Truth stands alone, correlates with itself, and needs nothing else to support it" is a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking truth and understanding in all aspects of life. By embracing this concept, individuals can develop a strong foundation of personal beliefs, advance scientific knowledge, and contribute to the betterment of society.
