Free Bird

We are prisoners

I was driving today;
when I saw a Blue Heron,
by a beautiful lake.

The sun sparkled;
like fireworks on the water,
and the bird fished in peace.

When I saw this it dawned on me,
that man is the only
creature of God’s Creation,
who begs another man for food.

He is the only one,
who is a slave,
for food, water, health,
and a place to dwell.

The heron took off in flight;
majestic in freedom,
to find a new lake.

While we are trapped,
to the whims of fear,
and the power of the Man.


Do you see the reality of the world we live in? This construct ruled by others? It’s a place where we struggle to produce something we never own. Like sheep for the shearer.

Why Do We Study Prophecy?

So, we know the seasons. The Bible is 30% prophecy, as some have stated. But, when you consider that the whole thing is about Jesus Christ, and that all the stories and pictures speak of Him, His First Coming and Second Coming, I think its more like 100%. God has called all believers to be…

Faith And Works

God works to build the Kingdom through us. James 2:14-26 In this passage. The apostle James, speaks of works being an aspect of our faith. It ends with the famous phrase “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” In the verses James shows that God commanded…
