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.

BP21: A Daily Prayer for Our Day

Hello, friends... We live in very difficult and uncertain times. As a friend of mine recently said to me, "Dave... it's becoming harder and harder to be a human in our day." Like you, I look at what's going on in the world around me, and I feel perplexed; and, at times, I feel confused, scared, and angry.

Best of days to you... Daver    -- "A Daily Prayer for Our Day" O Holy Trinity… With all my heart… I want to be faithful to You—with lion- and gazelle-like intensity. HELP ME , Lord, to be this. I want to walk before You in holiness, humility, and purity-, nobleness-, wholeness-, fullness-, and revelliousness-of-heart all the days of my existence—both in “this current Earth-life” and in “the world and glorious, lingering life to come....

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...
