BP 68 - Take Extreme Ownership of and for Every Aspect and Arena of Your Life

Jesus to Me: “Dave… I want you to own everything in your life: This includes your thoughts, feelings, wise choices, poor choices, selfless actions, self-centered actions, inactions, words spoken, words unspoken, good deeds done, good deeds not done, bad deeds done, and bad deeds (of taking revenge, etc.) done only in your imagination. I want you, too, to take complete ownership of your life-outcomes. By that, I mean, take ownership for and of everything that’s ever happened to you—especially those things you label as being ‘bad’ or ‘evil.’”

BP 79 - Make Social Media Inviting and Enjoyable Again (for Monday 2026-02-02)

Image
Greetings... This post is NOT my attempt to control anything anyone posts.  That's not my place.  I'd rather use this forum to encourage anyone who posts on social media to post only things that are GOOD , TRUE , and/or BEAUTIFUL .  If what you're about to post is neither  GOOD , TRUE , nor  BEAUTIFUL , do us all a favor and keep it to yourself. Speaking up for myself only (and whomever might like to join me in this), I'm not interested in anyone's partisan-driven political views.  Most partisan-driven political posts that I encounter on social media often lean toward the extreme and, most likely, find their basis in half-truths, egregious polemics, flagrant exaggeration, and outright falsehood.  Often, such posts label those who disagree with the one who posted it as being totally worthy of public shaming (or worse).  That's really saddening to me. In the past, I've posted political opinions.  And I regret those that were partisan-driven....

BP 78 - How the Ancient Church Thrived in the Midst of Deep Persecution (for Monday 2026-02-16 Post)

Image
    Four Factors that Enabled The Faithful (in the first and second centuries) to Thrive [ Note :  Again, these overlap and are synergistic ] in “this current Earth-life”…   1/ The Person and Presence of The Holy Spirit .   2/The deeply supportive role of The True (and local) Church Community (that is, The Local Ekklesia — The Expanded Fellowship, Image, and Authority of The Trinity on Earth).   3/ The Messages of The Cross [ see segment later in this section ].   And…   4/The belief that a man [ or woman ] must partner together with God (via The Divine Processes of Metanoia ) to be and become Like Him . -- The Seven Spirit-wrought Factors (following The Incarnation, Life, Crucifixion, Suffering, Bodily Death, Burial, Bodily Resurrection, Ascension, and Exaltation of Jesus) that Historically Enabled The Kingdom of God to (on Earth) ORDINATELY Establish Itself, Strengthen Itself, Expand Itself, and Thrive [ Note :  And, yet again, these...

BP79 - I Was Once A Little Child (for Monday, 2026-02-23)

Image
  "THE TRUTH IS… YES, I WAS ONCE A LITTLE CHILD. THE TRUTH IS, TOO, THAT I (VERY MYSTERIOUSLY) STILL AM." To read more, well, just keep reading :o)... -- Jesus… I was one A Little Child; but, somewhere along the line, I forgot Who I Was. And, as a consequence, I (through neglect, forgetfulness, and even thoughtlessness) abandoned That Little One. Help me, Lord, to remember… To remember… what it was really like to be That Little One… … for I’ve forgotten and neglected so much. The Truth is… Yes, I was once A Little Child. The Truth is, too, that I (very mysteriously) still am. As Papa’s Told me—many times now—I’m “still VERY, VERY Young in The Kingdom.” Help me, Lord, to feel this and to Live and PLAY(!!) into it (that is, to Live and play into WHO I am—and to do so for all Eternity). Help me to rediscover and to be once and again That Little One that I Truly Am—That Little One that Plays at Life, and… That Little One that Wanders about with a Deep Affinity for, Wonder in...
