#Blessed be the Name of Jesus Christ!

[tabernacleheart]

"We don't speak the name of God,"

devoted souls all over the world whisper in warning,

as if the concept itself was enough to engender blasphemy

(as in the way you say my beloved,

knowing immediately the touch of a hand, a face, a name--)

but one night long ago, in bethlehem,

a young jewish girl smiled in starlight and whispered in reply,

"yeshua,"

my son, my child, my beloved,

my Joshua,

my Jesus,

my God.

(we don't speak the name--)

it's unthinkable, unthinkable.

how do you imagine it?

what does God look like?

but no, that's easy enough.

God looks like the dew on a rose, like sunrise on snow, like light in a prism. God looks like constellations and butterfly wings and all those other cherished cliches that pour out of our mouths when we are moved by the beauty of Creation, His Creation, touched by His hands in time beyond time.

that's easy enough. but that's not how god looks when he has a name.

that's not what is so terrible, so beyond thought that we shrink from it like feathers from flame.

what does god look like if he looks like you?

little yeshua curls his tiny fingers in the warm wool of a sheep.

mary presses her soft lips to his soft forehead.

what does god look like?

he looks like---

it's unthinkable, unthinkable.

but there he is, lying in a manger,

and the oxen are thinking about it more than you

and the angels weep with joy in the stellated heavens.

we don't speak the name of God.

oh, but why don't we?

is he not my beloved?

is he not my Jesus, too?

to name is to know.

could your heart be so bold?

what if his heart was, first?

- J.L.

I baptized my kids today!

It was really cool. God's presence was there. Right before we went to the pool, it started to rain, thunder and lightning. We went anyway. When we got there, no one else was at the pool. The thunder and lightning stopped and the sun came out, but it kept raining right on until we finished. It seemed like God gave us a private setting and also baptized the kids Himself with the rain. So cool!

Brothers and Sisters the end is coming very soon, repent and trust in Jesus Christ,have Faith in Him and know that He Loves you with an immeasurable Love. The devil will tempt you and deceive you so as to not await with your bright lamps our Lord and Savior, be aware that's why Jesus said the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak(Matthew chapter 26 verse 41). Pray and stay awake so you will not be defeated by temptation! God bless you In Jesus Name! Amen!

“It is too light a thing that [the Messiah] should be My servant

    to raise up the tribes of Jacob

    and to bring back the preserved of Israel;

I will make You as a light for the nations,

    that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

-- Isaiah 49:6

The LORD God of Israel sent Messiah to the House of Israel to save them, but He also includes the rest of us. How amazing it is that God loves even us wild olive branches enough to save us, too.

#Blessed be the great God of Israel! #The Father has adopted us and grafted us into Israel through Jesus Christ #we don't deserve anything #but God has given us everything #blessed be His holy name forever and ever! #christianity #jesus #truth

2023 SEPTEMBER 17 Sunday

"Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all my being, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

He pardons all your iniquities, He heals all your ills. He redeems your life from destruction, He crowns you with kindness and compassion.

He will not always chide, nor does he keep His wrath forever. Not according to our sins does He deal with us, nor does He requite us according to our crimes.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so surpassing is His kindness toward those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He put our transgressions from us."

~ Psalms 103:1-4,9-12

Do babies need a name to be blessed before the church?

Do babies need a name to be blessed before the church?

Yesterday, our fourth daughter was born. We had been thinking about names for a long time. Name discussions over the course of our marriage have revealed surprising cultural disparities. My wife’s Polish background shaped many of her ideas about suitable naming practices. For instance, I think it’s perfectly fine to have multiple middle names but my wife thinks that’s very strange and doesn’t…
