What can YOU do to stop the tidal wave of evil coming at you?

Okay, let’s be realistic. If end times Bible prophecy is true, and it is, and we are living in the end times, then it is going to get extremely dark before King Yeshua sets foot on this earth once again. The forces of evil are in an epic battle to prevent the inevitable and unstopable advance and ultimate establishment of King Yeshua’s millennial kingdom on earth. However, before this occurs, Scripture tells us that the forces of antichrist will take over the world, and a shroud of satanic darkness will descend on this planet. Despite it all, this is not the time for the saints of the Most High Elohim to shrink back in fear! Yeshua not only instructed his disciples to watch and pray, but to occupy until he comes! How can we do this? Here is a list of helpful suggestions.

  • Be the most holy and righteous person you can be. The example of your life may be the only Bible that some people will ever read. 
  • In all areas of your life, be salt and light. Let your light shine. Be friendly and happy. Spread love, peace, joy, hope and good will everywhere you go.
  • Be a river of life to those around you. In every way possible, point them to Yeshua and his Torah-Truth.
  • Meet people at their point of need, and then share the gospel.
  • Pray for the sick and everyone else who is in need. Everyone has a need that Yeshua can fulfill.
  • Feed the hungry physically and spiritually.
  • Cloth the naked physically and spiritually.
  • Share the Word of Elohim with people—the hope of the gospel message.
  • Have lots of children and teach them YHVH’s ways.
  • Be the educators of your children as the Torah in the Shema passage commands. Don’t leave their education in the hands of the secular, humanistic, antichrist State schools. Homeschool your children.
  • Teach your children the Bible. For example, you can use Hoshana Rabbah’s free online Torah Explorers year-long study program as a homeschool curriculum. 
  • Start a Bible study, prayer group or home fellowship.
  • Use social media to influence as many people as possible for the kingdom. Always keep Yeshua and the hope of the gospel message at the center of your outreach efforts. Don’t use social media to pass on fear-porn, weirdness, actual conspiracy theories or silly nonsense. When sharing news items, deal only with reputable sources and provable facts and then point people to the Bible and to Yeshua through it. This can include being a social influencer through having a YouTube channel, a blog,  a website, and Facebook page or the like.
  • If you have a social platform, position of authority or sphere of influence, use them to share the gospel. Platforms can include…
  • Being a family leader (parent or grandparent)
  • Being a business owner or leader.
  • Being in ministry leadership position (pastor, Bible teacher).
  • Being in a position of social or civil leadership.
  • Being in a professional position of influence (doctor, teacher, professor, counselor, scientist, lawyer, politician).
  • Being a social media influencer (start a blog, a podcast, an online video channel, create memes, a social media page).
  • Be a prayer warrior or intercessor.
Yeshua has called his disciples to be spiritual warriors, and not to shrink back in fear when evil comes!
  • If YHVH has blessed you with financial resources, use it to help spread the gospel or to support those who are doing so.
  • Stand up for truth and righteousness wherever and however you can. Be outspoken. Talk to others. Let your voice be heard.
  • Ask YHVH for ministry assignments such as putting people in your path to whom you can minister, for opportunities to come your way to help advance his kingdom.

These are all ways to occupy until King Yeshua returns. This is how YOU can be salt and light, a menorah on a hill, to those around you, and to help make the world a better thus fulfilling the great commission of Yeshua to “preach” the good news of the kingdom of heaven everywhere to everyone.

We’re Back!!!

Nathan thinking about dinner after a weary day of traveling on the French Riviera.

It has been quiet on my blog for the last few weeks. Why? You may ask. Well my bride and I just returned from a little trip to celebrate 32 years together. We visited six countries in the western Mediterranean including putting a foot on the African continent for a day. We traveled by jet, taxi, large and small buses, train, cruise ship, small boat, and we pounded a lot of cobblestone pavement along the way. In fact, I wore out a pair of shoes in Tunis, Tunisia. The soles were flapping by the end of the day like a flat tire.

Along the way, we visited Spain, France, Italy, Tunisia, Andorra and the Vatican. Below are a few pictures out of the several thousand we took. We had four cameras going! I shoot videos, and Sandi does the stills. The pics below are all ones she took.

The highlight of the trip? For me, it was not the Vatican, or the French Riviera or Barcelona. Not Pisa or Florence, Pompeii and Vesuvius or Sicily. Not Andorra or the Pyrenees. Not the Coliseum, the Roman Forum in Rome or the Sistine Chapel or the Vatican Museum or even climbing to the top of the Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. No. As great as these things were, what blessed me the most was slowing the pace down a bit and savoring life in the company of my wife, and experiencing the food and culture of Italy and the exploring the quaint back allies of the Old City and savoring the little things that are often overlooked in the mad pace of life.

Now it’s back to work, and the USA with its mass shootings (been home only a three days and there has been almost one a day so far), pudding eating Biden, the uni-party childishness of the Republicrats and Democans, and constant trans-trope with their alphabet soup of sexual perversions being crammed down our gullets. Oy vey!

Oh well, it is what it is, and may Yah give us the strength to stand firm for him until our ultimate redemption which draweth nigh comes from above with healing in His wings to straighten out this mess below and give rewards to is disciples. HalleluYah!

Please enjoy a few pics hopefully to get our minds on some better things for a moment or two!

When finished, this minor basilica—La Sagrada Familia—will be the second largest church in the world after St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. It will have the tallest tower in the world at 560 feet. They started building the church in 1882 and it’s still not finished. This Barcelona church is Spain’s top tourist attraction.

No caption is needed here. Y’all know what this is!

Stay tuned for more pics and videos to follow as time allows. I will also be sharing some spiritual insights I gained while traveling through these five Catholic and one Moslem countries. The dust is still settling from this long trip through more than 3,000 years of history, and the cognitive overload of it all is mind boggling. All the while jet lag is still keeping us up at odd hours of the day and night.

Chiao and shalom!

California mom confronts school district after 11-year-old changed genders without her knowledge

Aurora Regino says elementary school helped daughter transition under ‘parental secrecy’ policy

California school district votes to uphold ‘incredibly dangerous’ ‘parental secrecy policy’

Aurora Regino, a concerned mother from California’s Chico Unified School District, weighs in after the school board votes to uphold a ‘parental secrecy policy.’

A California mom is outraged after her daughter’s school district upheld a “parental secrecy policy” allowing school officials to offer gender counseling without informing parents.

Aurora Regino said her 11-year-old daughter’s elementary school in the Chico Unified School District helped her transition from female to male during the last school year, but a guidance counselor kept her in the dark during the entire process.

“During one of the meetings, my daughter told the counselor she wanted to tell me about her new identity. They ignored her request and did nothing to support her in letting me know what was going on at school,” she told board members at a meeting last Wednesday.

CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD VOTES TO UPHOLD SO-CALLED ‘PARENTAL SECRECY POLICY’ FOR TRANSGENDER STUDENTS

The board weighed a measure that would allow for “more parental inclusion” but ultimately voted to keep the existing so-called “parental secrecy policy” in place with a 3-2 vote.

“It was a really sad decision that they made, but unfortunately I wasn’t extremely surprised,” Regino told “Fox & Friends First” host Todd Piro on Tuesday.

“This policy that they have in place, to keep these situations a secret from the family, is incredibly damaging. It was extremely damaging in my case with my daughter. She was bullied and she didn’t have the support that she needed from her family and, also, she was outed within the school with other people within the office knowing her new gender and pronouns that she didn’t even tell them, and she had to go through those feelings of wondering how they even knew all on her own.”

Regino, who is suing the district for keeping her in the dark about her daughter’s identity and transition, lambasted the policy as “incredibly dangerous” and said the struggle to advance parental rights in the area had been hard-fought. 

She told Piro her daughter is doing well, but she is determined to speak out on behalf of her family and others with similar experiences, so everyone knows what is taking place in public schools.

“When this originally happened to our family, nobody could’ve ever told me that this was going on, especially at the young age of elementary school,” she said.

BIDEN SAYS TRANSGENDER PEOPLE ‘SHAPE OUR NATION’S SOUL’ IN OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION

The policy that board members voted to uphold, according to Regino, extends to children as young as pre-kindergarten who are approximately five years old and reaches through the 12th grade.

“It’s incredibly damaging that they’re upholding such a crazy policy for such young children,” she continued after a moment, arguing that such a tumultuous time in children and adolescents’ lives is when they need parental guidance the most.

With so much evil attempting to force its way into every aspect of our culture as well as into our very thoughts and hearts, how do we stand up against this tide of satanic evil?

Evil comes in many forms: abortion, sexual perversions, destruction of marriage, the drug culture, tyrannical government, euthanasia, confusion about male and female genders, transgenderism, bodily mutilations of all kinds, the rise of the occult and satanism, the culture war against Christian and biblical values, leftism, the rise of globalism and the new world order, the worship of the god of scientism, technocratic mind control, the new age movement, new forms of racism and discrimination against white people, and the list goes on and on.

So what can you do to stop, thwart or avert this tide of evil? Is it useless to attempt to stand against it? What would Yeshua have us to do? What is our biblical model to follow? In this video, we give you some practical suggestions on what YOU can do.
