The one great Truth to keep steadfastly before us is the Lord Jesus Christ, He is the Truth. Only the whole truth is the Truth, any part of the truth may become an error (our Progressive friends demonstrate this daily). If you have a ray of light on the Truth never call it the whole truth; follow it up and it will lead you to the central Truth. the Lord Jesus Christ…Would that men who name the name of Christ realized that He is the Truth, not the proclaimer of it; ~ Oswald Chambers, Abundant in Truth

“Dead Reckoning or DR as it is usually referred, is the process by which one’s current position is calculated based on/using a previously obtained position. A previously determined position can also be termed as a fix; the estimated speed and the course are applied to that fix to obtain a DR.”

I posted this comment in a Facebook thread put up by a friend this past week focused on the gender meme above: Yes…until our Luke 22:54-62 moment. What will our testimony be then? Asked by another commentor what scripture of Peter denying Christ had to do with my friend’s meme post, I replied, Gladly sister…we are ALL on this thread coming to a place very soon where we will be forced by circumstance to choose between our own worldly survival or the Truth…as was Peter.

I think the reason memes are so effective is their ability to convert tragedy into humor. The tragic reality behind the gender meme is that we are a nation in judgment because of our sin, and we are losing our children. Wickedness can only rule a nation of men more concerned with their preference in the Super Baal on February 11^th than having conviction of saving their own children. https://www.protectkidsny.com/

Chapter 34

Preference Or Conviction?

And Elija came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: But if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. ~ 1 Kings 18:21

God hates a weak man.

The following are traits of a weak man: Godless; Christless, Spiritless; wordless; thoughtless; gutless; conditioned; unreasonable; rash; uncorrectable; unteachable; dull; passive; shallow; indifferent; indecisive; ineffective; lazy; cannot take charge; a slave of the world; in bonds to the flesh; caves in to the soul; serves the Devil; blames others; fears men; fears women even more; a man who hides; a man who compromises; a man who cannot suffer; a man without conviction; void of truth.

Were the silent people around Ezra a weak people? Was Peter a weak man? Ask David…Do not I hate them , O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. ~ Psalm 139:21-22

God put the term Dead Reckoning in my head before Scott’s podcast this week in which he provided an amazing and masterful replay of the course our country has navigated since 2016 on BardsFM: Days of Reckoning …as our “previously determined position” leading to the “current position” we find ourselves in.

Now, a ship on the sea has a captain and a crew, much the same as the Ecclesia (Body of Christ). The ship’s captain is a man with the full authority over the ship and crew. We are fortunate to have God the Father, His Son, and the Holy Ghost with the full authority over not only us, but over all the captains, ships, and crews on all the seas of the earth as well as the heavens above. And yet, I would argue that while most all the captains, ships, and crews are making their ports in timely fashion, while we, the Body of Christ have been lost at sea for countless years it seems.

Yesterday I watched a message from Stephen Prouse that caused me to self-examine and dead reckon my own self. I have been pretty hard on pastors and churchmen over these past several years. Stephen’s loving wisdom expressed towards his own pastor quite early in the video hit me exactly how God intended, and it softened my heart. I encourage every man, young and old, to watch these Christian men talking about where we are RIGHT HERE!

One of the things Stephen and the men talk about is the importance of learning how to listen to God by spending more time with Him…sort of like my own James 4:8 light of Truth discovery in 2015…which has given me the ears to hear Him this week in the triangulation of three consecutive Oswald Chambers messages:

1. Conscience is that faculty in me that attaches itself to the highest that I know, and tells me what the highest I know demands that I do. ~ Keep Inner Vision Clear
2. The blunder of the saint lies in saying, “Because I decide this in this crisis, therefore is the rule for all.” Nonsense! God is sovereign and His ways are discernable according to the attainment of the particular character. ~ Personal Responsibility
3. Thank God for the sight of all you have never yet been. The vision is not an extasy or a dream, but a perfect understanding of what God wants, it is the divine light making manifest the calling of God. ~ The Shape of the Vision

So, my brothers. Are we ready for the Big Game? And, you know I am not talking about the Satanic bread & circus ritual next Sunday. Two questions:

1. Are we ready to give up our Ezra 9 strange wives?
2. And how will we ever make it to port navigating from 400 different charts?

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. ~ James 1:2-4
