Come and be Reconciled

When Adam and Eve, who once literally walked with God, chose to disobey God and end a right relationship with him, they were banished from Eden. Ever since, as a species, we have journeyed east of Eden.

A big stop sign in angelic form stopped them from entering the garden of God's presence again. It was effectively saying, "Because of your sin, you can't go in."

In the temple age, a similar stop sign blocked the way in the form of a curtain. This curtain blocked the way to the holy of holies. Only the high priest dared enter into his presence to offer atoning sacrifice for the people. The stop sign was still saying, "Because of your sin, you can't go in."

One day, the Father sent his very own son, who chose to be the true and final sacrifice and atonement. The stop sign was ripped from top to bottom. It once said, "Because of your sin, you can't go in." But, now it says,"Come in, come now, my love. Come and be reconciled with your Abba."

Take Heart: A Catechism

Take Heart A Catechism By David Holdsworth Authors Note: There are many good Catechisms available. But, somewhere along the line Christians in many parts of the church at large seem to have lost this age old practice of simple instruction in the format of questions and answers. In no way is this little contribution meant to take away from good Catechisms already written, but rather to be a compliment to them. This is a simple way for me to share the good news with others. It is my hope that you the reader or listener may find biblical help from the simplicity of the good news. I have included biblical proofs as standard so you may go and examine the scriptures (and indeed your heart) for yourself. Pax et Bonum. (1) Q. What comfort may be found for the believer? A. A heart that need not have trouble or fear. One that can rely on God in troubled times and that can glorify His name. Proofs. John 14:27, Psalm 46:1, Psalm 50:15 (2) Q. What message does scriptures give to those st...

My Neurodiversity Journey

I am Autistic and that is OK: I was always considered shy, sometimes "painfully shy", then I did a personality test at church that stated I was also an INFJ Introvert. In time I discovered through other personality tests that I was also both a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and an Empath. It didn’t stop there though, during Covid I went to a Mental Health nurse who said I had Social Anxiety. Then I was finally diagnosed with what was once called Aspergers, High Functioning Autism, Level 1 Autism or Mild Autism. Generally these days it is known as Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) due to the baggage other labels sometimes carry. I'm not sure where things go from here. It is a late diagnosis, but in a way explains so much. I don't believe this is a disorder, disease or demon. It is merely a difference, a neurodivergence. If people do wish to pray things away, may it be abelism in our society that they turn the fight against. Prayer for tools to manage life are certainly ...
