When you trust Jesus Christ to be your Saviour, He not only gives you a new eternal destination, He gives you a completely new life. In this series, New Life, we will discover the scriptural truths that teach us what it means to be a new creation. Christians at every stage of spiritual growth need to experience the abundant, victorious new life in Christ that God intends them to live on a daily basis.

The secret of the LORD is not some mystical code reserved for religious elites; it is the intimate counsel of God entrusted to those who fear Him, receive His words and walk in obedience to His testimonies. The proud man may possess information about God, but the surrendered servant is taught the ways of God. Psalm 25 shows the order clearly: fear produces teachability, obedience places us in the paths of mercy and truth, and fellowship with the LORD brings understanding of His covenant and purpose. God reveals His secret to servants because revealed truth carries responsibility—we are expected to believe it, obey it and proclaim it. Welcome to the Sunday Service of the Bible Believers Church at the Bookstore!“The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.” Psalm 25:14 (KJB)When God brings us into the revelation of His eternal purpose in Christ, we discover that our access, righteousness and security do not rest upon our own wavering faithfulness, but upon “the faith of him.” We believe in Jesus Christ, but we are justified by the faith of Jesus Christ; our believing receives the gift, while His perfect obedience and finished work provide its unshakable foundation. Our confidence may tremble, our emotions may change and our performance may fail, but Jesus Christ cannot falter or deny Himself. The secret of the LORD reveals His purpose, and the faith of Him guarantees that purpose will be accomplished: the servant may falter, but the Saviour can never fail.

Many knew Him simply as the man called Jesus (John 9:11), but who is He really? The One who gave sight to the blind, strength to the helpless, and hope to the hopeless is the same Man who gave Himself as a ransom for all. Though the world saw only a man crowned with thorns, God revealed Him as the Saviour of sinners. Come and hear the wonderful story of the Man called Jesus and discover why He is still the answer to mans greatest need. The post The Man Called Jesus appeared first on Preachers Corner.

As we look at the sacrament of Communion (The Lord's Supper, The Eucharist) we remember why the Passover meal was to be eaten every year. However, Jesus established a new covenant during that meal with his disciples, establishing that he is the final sacrificial lamb, the final Passover meal for all of us who believe in Him as our saviour. He has saved us from our sins, because he took them upon himself on the cross. That causes us to repent of our sins, to be purified by His blood shed for us, and to live in that new covenant with Him. Have you accepted Him as your Saviour yet?

When Jesus chose to heal a man from demon possession in Luke 11:14-28, he got much more than he was expecting in terms of opposition to his miracle. Those who observed the miraculous deliverance of the man, could only reach a conclsuion that was opposite to what might have been made by those with ‘two […]

To be a serious follower of The Lord Jesus is not what some people call a “gray area”. In Matthew 5:14-16, The Lord Jesus said to His disciples in the Sermon on the Mount, "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."These words of Jesus are contrary to the unbiblical doctrine of the “closet Christian”. There is no such thing taught in Scripture. In Matthew 10:32, 33 Jesus said, "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." In this study in the gospel of John, the lines of separation between those who embrace Jesus as Lord and Christ and those who reject Him are revealed.That same separation is true in our day as well. In Matthew 10:34-39, The Lord Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."The division that a full commitment to Jesus Christ causes is inevitable, because when an individual or a society rejects the final authority of Scripture as the basis of doctrine and daily living and matters concerning holy living, they inevitably will be at variance against those who proclaim the moral darkness of this fallen world system and the truth that Scripture reveals about the I AM claims of Christ.Beloved reader, who or what is your master? Who or what determines what you believe about Jesus? Scripture exhorts you to choose this day whom you will serve. No person can serve two masters. To choose to follow Jesus as Lord and Saviour is to choose eternal life. To choose to reject to follow Jesus as Lord and Saviour is to choose eternal damnation. Those are not my words, they are the words of Jesus Himself.Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6). For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23) SelahKoinonia FellowshipSundays at 8:30a and 10:30a500 Main St. East Rochester, NY 14445koinoniafellowship.com

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 1st of August, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in that very well-known psalm, Psalm 23:1-2: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.”That is where our strength is. It is in the promise of God. Then we go straight to the Book of Hebrews 13:6:“So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”The other night I was listening to a wonderful documentary about those famous singers, Bill and Gloria Gaither. He wrote the music, and she does the lyrics, and I want to say to you, they have touched the whole world and have been voted as the best gospel group of the century. But what really touched me is, they are just ordinary people. She says sometimes she will be cooking in the kitchen, and the Lord would give her a word, and she would sit down at the dining room table, and take a pencil and an A4 pad, and write out the words God has given. She said to us that they were about to have their little baby son and he was about to be born, and they were concerned about bringing him into a world that is so full of turmoil and so destructive, then she realised that God is in control, and she sat down and she wrote the words of one of the most beautiful well-known Gospel songs, “Because He Lives, I Can Face Tomorrow.” Isn't that good news? She went on to say that this world has never been a safe place unless you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Her little son grew up. He got married, and he had a little girl, and when she was about 13, he wrote to his mom, and he said, “Mom, what a world we are bringing these children into!” Then Gloria could remind him that she wrote that song with Bill when he was born. He must remember that God is completely in control. I want to leave this thought particularly for young mothers with little babies, some who are pregnant, some who have a little baby who has just been born and you fear for the future of this little one. Don't be afraid because the Lord is our helper. He will be with us to the end.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

On Sunday, July 26th, Ps Greg Murray sat down with Sarah Clarke a Christian Counsellor and Psychotherapist. They explored the important and often unaddressed issues around loneliness, shame, and isolation. Drawing from Psalm 68:6, they spoke about how to identify shame narratives in loneliness. How we believe that because we're lonely there must be something wrong with us, people will judge us if we talk about it, that we shouldn't be lonely if we're surrounded by people, and that we're somehow disappointing God. But these are lies. Loneliness is painful. Shame adds the belief that the loneliness reveals something defective about us. But God loves us and loneliness is experienced by so many. We are never alone. As church community, Greg encouraged us to ask God if there was someone in our lives that we could reach out to, invite over for lunch, or just check in with them. We pray that this message blesses you, encourages you and ultimately draws you closer to our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

What has happened in David's life so far:Been Anointed as KingDefeated GoliathSurvived Saul Hunting HimRuled the Souther Kingdom of Judah for 7.5 yearsUnited Israel's Divided KingdomEstablished JerusalemFallen into sin with Bathsheba Restored back into fellowship with GodToday we will finish the life of David. Yes he will die, but what we want to focus on is how did David live after He was restored. David came to realize how magnificent God was after he realized how sinful he was and how forgiving God is.The depth of our realization of our sinfulness should determine the depth of our service to the King, love for the Lord, and sacrifice for the Saviour.The greatest evidence of restoration is not simply that God forgives us—it is that we begin living for SOMEONE bigger than ourselves.After David's greatest failure, the remainder of his life wasn't about making a name for himself. It was about preparing the next generation to worship God. Far to often we spend much of our life accumulating things, building a kingdom for ourselves, and seeking comfort for our days.This morning we will see 5 key things that David did to prepare the next generation to worship God and how we can do them too.You see This life that we live now is not meant to be lived for ourself but rather it is to be lived as a sacrifice to God and a service to others. 5 Ways David and Us Can Prepare the Next Generation

As [Jesus] approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say, 'The Lord needs it'" (Luke 19:29-31). When Jesus was preaching in Capernaum a man possessed by a demon cried out at the top of his voice, "Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!" "Be quiet!" Jesus said sternly (4:33-35). A little later Luke makes this editorial comment "demons came out of many people, shouting, 'You are the Son of God!' But [Jesus] rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ" (4:41). When he healed a man who had leprosy, Jesus said "Don't tell anyone..." (5:14). Likewise, after he had healed their daughter Jesus ordered Jairus and his wife "not to tell anyone what had happened" (8:56). Even after Peter had confessed that Jesus was 'The Christ of God', "Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone" (9:21). But Palm Sunday is different. Jesus takes a new approach, arranging to enter Jerusalem as a king. Two of His disciples are sent ahead to bring him a colt no one had ridden. Among the Jews there were two things that unridden colts were used for: for sacred purposes and to transport a king. Jesus needed it for both. With this animal, Jesus evoked the prophecy in Zechariah 9, "Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey" (9). He came to bring God's kingdom, but that kingdom could only take root if he now embodied it in himself. He had spoken this kingdom with his word; he had lived the kingdom by touching the outcast; he had shown the kingdom with his miracles. But none of that would matter if he didn't fulfil his final act, his great sacrifice. On the cross he would break Satan's power. The living God was at work to heal and save, and the forces of evil and death were gathering to oppose him. Pharaoh and his armies had failed in their efforts to prevent Moses from leading Israel out of Egypt. This is the moment of God's new Exodus, God's great Passover. Jesus must eat it and offer himself as the final Passover lamb. Jesus' time had come. For this, the son of man had come to earth. All eyes needed to be on him. As we take up our cross to follow Jesus, we too must choose. Do we want a Saviour who fixes only the symptoms of the problem: sickness, loneliness, and physical death? Jesus went to the cross to deal with the problem: our bondage to sin. Will we follow him all the way to the cross? Will we receive forgiveness there and new life? As you journey on, go with the blessing of God: May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing; at the wonders he has shown you. May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.

This week I speak with Paul Smith, a former Stake President and dedicated volunteer prison chaplain for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the UK. I wanted to chat with him about his unique journey into prison ministry and the unexpected spiritual insights he has gained while ministering to incarcerated individuals. What began as a simple request to visit a youth acquaintance transformed into years of compassionate service, offering hope, scriptural teaching, and Christlike mercy to those serving time in Victorian-style prisons.We explore the profound spiritual realities of prison chaplaincy, the transformative power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and how seeing inmates through the eyes of the Saviour changes everything.Some highlights from this episode include:Worshipping Across the Globe: Reflections on Paul's recent world travel, the humbling experience of being a stranger in foreign congregations, and the unique camaraderie of holding improvised Sunday School classes at sea.An Unintentional Calling: Paul shares the surprising story of how a request to visit a friend led to a nine-month clearance process, only to discover he had accidentally applied to become an authorized prison chaplain and that over 20 inmates were listed as members of the Church.Life Inside the Walls: A look into the daily statutory duties of a prison chaplain, from checking on inmates in segregation units to welcoming newly arrived prisoners and navigating strict security and safety protocols.The "Hot Chocolate" Anomaly: A light-hearted yet insightful discussion on why many inmates claim membership in the Church, the unique culture of prison chaplaincy, and how simple perks open doors for genuine gospel conversations and Book of Mormon placements.Seeing Inmates as the Saviour Sees Them: Paul shares deeply moving personal experiences about looking past heinous crimes, recognizing the tragic circumstances of upbringing, and witnessing the infinite reach of God's mercy and redemption.Inter-Faith Fellowship: The inspiring dynamic between chaplains of diverse faiths, from Imams and rabbis to pagan and Rastafarian ministers, working together with pure motives to bring light to those in darkness.For further Information of serving in Prison Ministry as a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints see the link:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/prison-ministry/general-principles/1-1-introduction?lang=engFollow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.

Welcome to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Before I get into this week’s episode, let me tell you that the entire uninterrupted interview with Bishop Nathan Wilson of The Gnostic Union is now available on YouTube under Cyd Ropp Gnostic Insights playlist. I’ve tried and tried to upload the captioned transcript underneath the video, but neither YouTube nor my video editing software will cooperate. I can only chalk it up to Demiurgic interference, so this must be one important interview! The link is provided here to go straight to it on YouTube. Please “like” it and forward it to friends. Thanks. This week I exchanged emails with a podcast subscriber that presented me with some excellent questions prompted by recent episodes. I asked his permission to share them with you anonymously. I always treasure sincere observations and questions from subscibers because it prompts my gnosis. So here we go. Hi Cyd how's it going? I hope that all is well with you. I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your series of podcasts with the Bishop. Very interesting to hear some stuff on the unpacking of the original Gnostic texts. I thought that today's pod about your discussion was also very revealing as somebody who loves history, but it's giving me an insight into why you are so suspicious of history—would I be right in thinking that you want your texts to be unfiltered from various historical takes from different flawed human recounters? Yes. It is a common saying that history is written by the victors. This refers to the fact that the winners of wars, both physical killing wars and more subtle ideological wars, write the narratives of their opponents from then on. This is why we have had a couple of thousand years of hearing only one side of the gnostic story and one conventionally accepted version of Christian theology. And we have heard that version from Catholic Councils of the 4th century on down through the Protestant churches of today. The surviving descriptions of the nature of gnosticism were written by those who hated gnosticism, and their work is still read and venerated to this day. And I can tell you that even in the little village I live in, the church folks who have no idea what gnosticism even is are dead set against it and dead set against my efforts of sharing my gnostic insights with them and others—and they let me know of their disapproval. I think these divisive times we are living through now also illustrate how what passes for truth is malleable and untrustworthy. We can all see for ourselves how half of the population characterizes the big picture one way and half of the population characterizes it in a completely different way—and these two sides of the ideological divide are incommensurate with each other. Incommensurate is one of those big words I learned during my graduate studies in rhetoric. It means exclusive—both can't be right—you can't hold both positions—it's either or. So if you extrapolate the culture wars forward a few hundred or a few thousand years into the future, how will history frame the disputes that are currently raging through society? If, for example, socialism finally wins out do you think capitalism will be fairly represented? The reverse is also true, and the winner of this tug of war will be the one who lives to tells the tale. My correspondent goes on to say: I think it must be very appealing to be able to narrow down everything into one text and say that we are only going to look at this one source of right thing for the true knowledge. I think this approach has led us to the Bible and the Koran and other food containers which some followers take quite literally and interpret very strictly. There must be safety and comfort in this approach which could be described as textual at best—literal and possibly in a kind way, and without any judgement, fundamentalist, in its true essence. However, and I expect you are waiting for the but… What is listening whilst listening? He continues: It did occur to me that what you are basically saying is that everything in the Tripartite Tractate is correct. And all of the other texts are interesting, though they may be not to be taken seriously because they are myths. Surely it must've occurred to you that the writer of the Tripartite Tractate was also a human, and ergo—a product of the culture that surrounded him or her? Knowing you to be such a thoughtful and perceptive person, is there something I'm missing here? What is objectively different about the Tripartite Tractate, written by a human, just like all of those other gnostic texts? I am not trying to score points here, I genuinely would like an answer. To which I respond: Truly I do not agree with everything the Tripartite Tractate says and, conversely, much of what the other books say is right, though obscured with layers and language of mythology. The difference between the Tripartite Tractate and the other gnostic texts is that it stands alone and doesn’t depend upon a preexisting mythology to make sense. By that I mean that the Tripartite Tractate is a logical argument that any Sophist would be proud of. It speaks in the language of symbolic logic rather than mythology or (purported) history. The Tripartite Tractate begins with a starting premise (a priori) that in the beginning was consciousness without form. It then proposes a method by which consciousness and its attendant qualities, such as power and love, emanate from the origin and make their way downstream into us and other living creatures. It calls the descent of consciousness a fall, but does not condemn the fall, as it was necessary to escape the purely ethereal and create matter. It describes the fall as a “presumptuous thought” choice by Mr. Rationality itself—Logos. I characterize this presumptuous thought as the first action of “ego” made independently outside of the cooperation of the Fullness. This all seems to me to be an entirely rational argument that simply describes the process of the distribution of consciousness. We don’t have to argue the originating premise because our consciousness is self-evident. We are asking where it came from and going upstream until we reach a logical a priori starting point. A lot of what I share at Gnostic Insights comes from my own Theory of Everything—A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything—that I conceived and wrote 20 years ago, without benefit of any gnostic texts. So that lens informs my reading of the gnostic books. And I immediately recognized my own T.O.E. when I first read the Tripartite Tractate. The Simple Explanation is written using secular, non-religious language and lots of science and math. My illustrations and charts are different than my gnostic illustrations and charts. But the master chart is identical. The Tripartite Tractate did give me an answer I had been chewing over within the Simple Explanation, that being the difference between living creatures and inert elemental matter. I appreciated that clarification and incorporated it into the Simple Explanation. Otherwise, the book still stands as True. What is meant by True in this philosophical sense is whether or not the argument is coherent and internally consistent and comports with direct observation of the world. Now, as to whether or not I believe that only the Tripartite Tractate is true gnosis and the other gnostic books are mostly mythological–that is not the way I would put it. I don't take the Tripartite Tractate as more holy than other books, and there are a couple of aspects I don't fully understand or agree with. For example, the Tripartite Tractate aligns with other gnostic books in saying that there are three types of humans—the spiritual—called the pneumatic; the ordinary, emotional type called the psychic; and the material, called the hylic. The Tripartite Tractate doesn't seem to think that the hylic types are true second order powers and that they didn't exist in the beginning and will not return to the ethereal home above after death. The final page of the Tripartite Tractate codex is riddled with burned out areas from a fire, yet it seems to say, and I'm filling in some missing words: “While the material beings will be left behind until the end to perish, for they will not give their [missing words—probably acknowledgment of the Christ or allegiance to the Christ ]… If they have returned once more to that which … [missing words—probably worships the demiurge] … in the way that they were… [missing words—probably passing as humans] while they do not exist… [missing words—probably from the beginning] but they had been useful [for the] time that they were among them, even if they are not… [missing words—probably second order powers, —possibly among creation] at first, then… [missing words—possibly they were brought forth] to do something else by means of the power they had in the establishment [to] oppose them.” [yes, I realize I am interpolating a lot of missing words. if you have a more cogent interpretation, please offer it.] This final section of the Tripartite Tractate seems to indicate there are hylics among us with whom we live and work side by side who will not be redeemed at the end of time. This holds out the possibility that there are non-second order powers among us who can pass for living beings—not an uncommon thought in gnostic circles. My brother, Bill, and I contend that all life forms come from above and contain the consciousness and life of the Source. So for a non-living creature were to be born in the usual way is an impossibility. In my mind, the only way a truly non-living hylic so-called “human” could walk among us would be in the form of robotic facsimiles. There are many examples of this in science fiction, such as the cylons of “Battlestar Galactica” and the self-aware bots in P.D. Dick's “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” which became the film called “Blade Runner.” We are now be on the threshold of building and employing these newly constructed robots who appear human, appear conscious, appear living, but are actually programmed imitations that did not exist from the beginning. (Battlestar Galactica carries this very question throughout the series as the cylons become self-aware and question their relationship with God.) If that is the case, then these could be the hylics that will not return to the ethereal because they did not come from the ethereal and the end times would need to be pushed back far enough to accommodate their undetectable assimilation into society. But hey—that's just my notion. And here at Gnostic Insights I try to stick with gnostic insights, not my wild speculations. Cylons of Battlestar Galactica television series. The cylons adapt to become more and more “human.” What is true is that I believe the Tripartite Tractate describes our existence and our origins, as well as our future. But we have to remember it is at least 2,000 year old prophecy and embedded in the language and concepts of that time. Maybe the writer was indeed anticipating androids among us, but that seems an unlikely interpretation. I have been watching quite a few “alternate history” videos lately on YouTube that propose completely different backstories and histories that stretch eons into the past—histories that could indeed have been technologically sophisticated enough to produce androids that blend in with the crowd. But we're getting way into the weeds here. One reason that most readers of the Tripartite Tractate and other gnostic texts think there is an order of unredeemable humans is that they are referred to as “those who belong to the imitation.” The most basic interpretation is that those who we call materialists are the people who only believe what they can see, measure, and taste. In that sense, they belong to the imitation since the imitation is the material projection that is this cosmos. The atheists among them do not believe in the ethereal space Above, or the originating Source, and so by default they belong to the imitation. Yet, if all living creatures are children of the Fullness above, even these will return to the Fullness at the end of time. The way I reason this comes from following the logic of emanation and return—the Fullness would not be Full without them, and it is a basic proposition that nothing of the Source can ever be lost. So you see, the logic is what drives my interpretations, logic—Logos—not mythology. At least that how it seems to me. Another aspect of the imitation is the molecular structure of our world, including our bodies. We inhabit a molecular body. Our living essence, the light of consciousness that makes organisms soft and squishy and alive, literally inhabits an otherwise dead, rocky, elemental body of molecules. So everywhere we go, it goes. And when we “die” and our spirit exits this material cosmos, our hylic body is left behind. It belongs to the imitation—get it? So in this case, the hylic human refers to the elemental molecules that make up our bodies—that inert mud that the Demiurge could not raise up to life, as the mythological version goes. So, this material aspect of our earthly existence is part of the imitation and will not return to the Fullness along with our spirits because it did not exist from the beginning. It is a product of the fall. But I digress—back to the subscriber's email: Secondly, I would like to ask you a question about giving glory to God. I liked what you were saying about turning your attention away from yourself, and your ego, and to look towards the divine and offer up a prayer. I am at the stage of my journey where this is something that does not seem so completely alien, as I am moving gradually away from materialist atheism, which has been caught on my existence for the past 50 odd years. Where I get into trouble is basically the whole business of giving glory to God, because the monad who is omniscience and immutable is hardly likely to need me to do a lot of worshipping or giving glory. This was like a bit controversial, and I'm not trying to argue in bad faith, but wouldn't the demiurge himself be more likely to want humans to give glory to him than the monad? I imagine that giving glory means something to people who have come up in a Christian background, but personally it seems completely irrelevant and unnecessary – A bit like one of those business buzzwords, you hear like synergism or government types talking about inclusiveness or diversity—a sort of empty phrase that could really mean anything you want. It would be really helpful if you could unpack it a bit for me because I'm sure I'm missing something here. Giving glory is not for the benefit of the Father. Giving glory is how we tune into the Father’s resonance. Giving glory is for our benefit, not God's. Now, the God of the Old Testament, the Demiurge—is that jealous, forgetful god that thinks it’s the be-all and end-all. It does like to receive worship and glory because it feeds its ego. But the God Above All Gods, the Father of consciousness and the ALL, doesn’t need our worship and glory—you are right about that. It is we who need to give glory, not It that needs to receive glory. The Totalities of the ALL which were the first emanations from the Son, and the Aeons of the Fullness love to give glory. The Totalities do nothing but give glory to the Father, and that is a pure expression of love and devotion to the Father. It's a good thing for us, way down here in the consciousness stream, that they give unceasing glory, because they are the first emanations out of the Son and the fountain of the consciousness and love that eventually flows into all living creatures. The Totalities that give glory continuously are like an electrical plug that stays connected to the greater originating Source. As above so below—we also connect with the Source when we give glory. And since connecting with the Source cannot be accomplished when ego rules your psyche, you must be humble enough to set your ego aside and pray to/give glory to the greater Source. Surely you recognize that your ego is a lesser being than the Father of everything. If your ego does not allow you to think that, then you are not putting your spiritual foot forward but merely your ego. Our correspondent replies: Dear Cyd As usual- I’m so impressed by your clear and reasoned thinking – it is so elegant and simple. I wish I could think like that. However, there are a few things I would like to push back on respectfully. I have been dialoguing with the Demiurge – Chat GPT – and here’s what the archonic AI came up with in answer to your firm assertion that there is no mythology in the Tripartite Tractate. It basically thinks that it’s an overstatement – and I quote: The text gives an extensive creation story involving:• an unknowable Father;• the Son and the Church;• emanated aeons inhabiting the Fullness or Pleroma;• Logos making a presumptuous, defective attempt to comprehend the Father;• the production of deficiency, psychic and material powers;• a Demiurge who creates humanity;• three fundamental classes of human beings;• and a Saviour who descends to restore what has become divided. [Cyd] Let me pop in here to correct a very important error in this demiurgic version of Gnosticism. It sneaked into its answer a very demiurgic assertion that is not True: • a Demiurge who creates humanity The Demiurge certainly did not create humanity or any other living, conscious being. The second order powers—all living beings—are children of the Aeons of the Fullness, sent down into this lifeless cosmos to remind the Demiurge of the greater power Above, the true source of life, love, and consciousness. I have a habit of calling us the children of the Fullness, but the Tripartite Tractate actually calls us the fruit or the spores of the Fullness. Which is another way of saying the emanations of discreet packages of consciousness, or what I call in Simple Explanation language units of consciousness. To me, this is not mythological but descriptive to the best of our ability. Now, back to the correspondent's email: That is all mythological material. So then it rambles on quoting lots of sources etc BUT what the machine is getting at is that the difference between the Tripartite Tractate and some other gnostic texts is that there is a solid logic framework under the superstructure of mythological language and characters.This fits in with your TOE very neatly – and it is no surprise that you had an ‘OMG’ moment when you discovered the Tripartite Tractate—I would also have thought the same if an ancient text fitted perfectly into a system of thought that I had spent years developing. And you might be right—the uncanny fit could be a ‘tell’ that this truly IS the way of everything. On the less interesting point of contention though – I must disagree with you – there IS mythology in the Tripartite Tractate superstructure – the language is mythological – maybe less so than other gnostic texts. As an aside, as a writer – I would also say -there is nothing particularly bad about being mythological either. To which I reply: I have to laugh at using Dialogue with Demiurge AI as a trustworthy source. lol. I will see your Chat GPT and raise you Microsoft CoPilot AI (poker language, I assume you recognize). My AI says this: “This work presents a restored cosmology of the Fullness — a structural, metaphysical account of creation, fracture, and restoration. It is not myth, nor allegory, nor theology in the conventional sense. It is architecture: a precise description of how consciousness, relation, and harmony operate across the three great phases of existence.” I like that description—that the Tripartite Tractate gives the metaphysical architecture of consciousness rather than a myth. I always like to take the higher, meta view of information, which is literally a step above the normal language and arguments. That’s the secret of how I observe and reconcile seemingly irreconcilable positions—by looking up above the words for the meaning behind them. It seems to me that most people are lost in the language and “can’t see the forest for the trees.” Not meaning you, necessarily, it’s just my observation of how understanding goes awry. By taking the meta approach, the concepts automatically simplify as many points of view and language choices are collapsed into their base meanings. The words I use in my Simple Explanation of gnosis and science and everything else are not written in stone. They are my attempt to convey large concepts in the simple, most recognizable forms. If I say “god” it’s because people are familiar with that term. I offer alternative words, like Source, Mother-Father, Metaverse, the Great One, the Origin, so that people will see that the particular word is less important than what it represents and that what they think of as god has a broader meaning than the meme they have been holding onto. These images from my well-worn copy of the Tripartite Tractate of The Nag Hammadi Scriptures edited by Marvin Meyer, show you the process by which I read and interpret arcane texts. I put the language into illustrated concepts and words I can recognize and understand. The writer shared this final thought from the Chat GPT: There is also a genuine philosophical difficulty: how can a perfect and harmonious divine Fullness generate an irrational act? Saying that Logos possessed the capacity to exceed his proper limits explains the mechanism only by placing the possibility of deficiency inside the supposedly perfect order. He says, I think that is actually a pretty decent question from our AI demiurge—right? I expect that you have a great answer though. To which I reply: As to the Demiurge’s new question that you have put forth in this email—that’s an old canard that is often trotted out to stump theists. “How could a good and perfect God allow for the creation of evil?” I am not at all stumped by that question. The answer can most simply be stated in two words: Free Will. If we begin with the premise that the Father/Source/etc. emanates its entire nature outward with its emanation, then obviously free will is a part of that emanation. After all, it is inarguable that the Source possesses free will. The Aeons have free will. Logos is an Aeon. Logos has free will. While the rest of the Aeons were using their free will to cooperate with each other and to glorify the Father and the Son, Logos used its free will to go in a fresh direction. Logos thought it would be going upward to rejoin the highest glory. The Tripartite Tractate says that Logos didn’t realize this was in impossibility, because no one can approach the power source that is the Origin without being annihilated. And like a magnetic polarity, Logos was repelled by the Source and was knocked out of alignment with the Fullness (the fall). This dissonance became our material cosmos. And because Logos had free will, we have free will. This all flows logically from the a priori definition of the Source. This may sound mythological, but it is not. It could be easily described in scientific terms. Like the way a beam of focused light still allows for stray photons to go off beam. Or boiling water in the kettle mostly clumps together on the top of the water as bubbles, but some bubbles go outward to the edge of the kettle and pop. And so forth. The limit is our language, not the architecture or process. The limit is also imposed by the meme bundle being held the human observer-inquirer when their memes do not allow for certain possibilities to be seen and accepted. It is our meme attachments that limit our capacity to observe and learn. So says me.

Poem IX from Charlotte Mason's The Saviour of the World Volume I Book II.

“Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. But he does not hesitate to punish and destroy those who reject him. Therefore, you must obey all these commands, decrees, and regulations I am giving you today.” (Deuteronomy 7:9–11 NLT) Our founding fathers framed a document that Thomas Jefferson drafted for the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia. Congress adopted the document on July 4, 1776. We call it the Declaration of Independence. Among other things it says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Pastor Chuck Smith once said that sometimes we forget that the Declaration of Independence, which declared independence from foreign tyranny, also declared our dependence on an eternal God. We see this in its closing words: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Our forefathers believed that there is a God who guides the affairs of humankind. And they founded our nation on the teachings of the Bible. Thomas Jefferson, our third president, said, “The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty.” Andrew Jackson, our seventh president, called the Bible “the Rock upon which our republic rests.” And Abraham Lincoln, our 16th president, said of the Bible, “All the good the Saviour gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.” Two hundred and fifty years after the founding of our nation, our need for God’s Word has never been greater. Deuteronomy 7:9–11 says, “Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. But he does not hesitate to punish and destroy those who reject him. Therefore, you must obey all these commands, decrees, and regulations I am giving you today” (NLT). There is much to gain by placing God’s Word once again at the center of American life. And there is even more to lose in rejecting His Word. The wisdom of God’s Word is eternal, timeless. It’s not outdated. It’s not a relic. It doesn’t belong to an earlier, simpler time. The keys to the spiritual revival our nation so desperately needs can be found in its pages. That’s why we as believers must continue praying that our country finds its way back to the Word of God. Reflection question: How can you make God’s Word a bigger part of your daily life?

This is message 59 in Gospel Record of John John 20:1-18 What appears to be defeat, silence, and unanswered sorrow is often the very place where God has already begun His greatest work. Long before His followers understood what was happening, God had already secured the victory over death and accomplished everything He had promised. The risen Christ meets grieving hearts with hope, confused hearts with truth, and devoted hearts with His presence. The resurrection reminds us that God is always working ahead of our fears, our questions, and our understanding, and that one word from the living Saviour can turn despair into worship and sorrow into joyful obedience.

“Every man is stupid and without knowledge” we read today in Jeremiah ch, 10 v.14.  But man thinks he is the master of all kinds of knowledge!   But he is without knowledge of the true God, the Creator, “who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.” [v.12]           With the powerful telescopes, and special satellites and probes into space, scientists have in recent years learnt how much the universe has been immeasurably stretched out!     In awe of the awareness he had gained of God's creative powers – Jeremiah reflects on his own situation and writes, “I know, O LORD,  that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps. Correct me, O LORD, but in justice; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.” [v.23,24]           Surely Jeremiah's attitude and words should also be ours, and should be evident every day in our thoughts and prayers to and through our Saviour, leading us to become increasingly strong in faith to be able to cope with the situation when….!! …   when  the Almighty corrects this world in his anger!           Ponder as to why God told Jeremiah not to pray for the people around him!  We read this yesterday.  Remember!  “As for you, do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede  for I will not hear you” [v.16]. God repeats this to Jeremiah, look at ch. 11 v.14   “Therefore do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, for I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble.”             Is the world going to get into a totally desperate situation? Is it not approaching that now!!  It is sometimes said you will never find an atheist on a life raft.  Will the whole world be in a life raft situation?  Most nations are totally entrenched in their minds that  there is no God so we cannot imagine much prayer will be offered when the world is at its wit's end – it will be a scene of mass panic!!  Will our faith be such that we will rise above this situation?  How often do we quote  Luke 21:26    “ …people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”  It is how we build up our faith now that will ensure we will not be shaken.  In the areas of our weaknesses let us pray, “Correct me O LORD, but in justice: not in your anger”

Charlotte Mason's poem “The Disciple in the Wilderness” from The Saviour of the World Volume I Book II.

Exodus 34:6 is God's own revelation of himself, a declaration to which prophets and preachers return again and again, as here, in Psalm 85:15. As we again delight in the divine declaration, we should appreciate the contrast between God in his faithful mercy and mankind's typical aggressive cruelty. To do that properly, we must contemplate the Lord, "a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth." Then we can accumulate the comforts, casting ourselves upon this God and Saviour as we know him in Christ Jesus to find his help and comfort.

God's forgiveness is abundant beyond anyone's ability to recompense. Recognising our debt to the Lord is the beginning of faith. Recognising we can't repay that debt and yet have received forgiveness is to know Christ. To forgive others is to see our overwhelming need for Jesus, our Saviour.

What does the Holy Spirit do in our lives today? In John 16, Jesus teaches that the Spirit convicts the world, guides believers into truth and glorifies Jesus. In this message Lauren Lucas explores how the Holy Spirit reveals our need for a Saviour, exposes the lies that keep us bound and leads us into the freedom found in God's truth. As we slow down and make space for Him to speak, we are invited to recognise His kindness, share the good news with courage and see Jesus more clearly._____If you need prayer, we're here for you.

A Saviour who acts immediately - Matthew 14:22-33 John Ervine - Sun 19th July 2026 Download

Our chapter (19) in Matthew contains several sayings of our Master that are most challenging.  There was one that made his disciples “greatly astonished.”   It was the outcome of a conversation that started when “a man came up to him saying, ‘Teacher what good deed must I do to inherit eternal life?” [v.16]  This causes Jesus to say, ‘If you would enter into life, keep the commandments.'  He said to him, ‘Which ones?' and Jesus then lists the principal commandments, “You shall not  “ … murder … commit adultery … shall not steal … bear false witness  … will honour (your parents) … love your neighbour as yourself.” [v.17,19]The man responds, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?  Jesus said to him, ‘If you would be perfect, go sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” [v.20,21]  “The young man went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.”  Jesus tells his disciples how difficult it is ”for rich people to enter the kingdom of God.”  The disciples “were greatly astonished saying, “Who then can be saved?” [v.25]  We ponder our Lord's reply, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”  This is because God looks to see the true condition of our hearts: what are our priorities in life, what we have “left” behind so as to “do (work) for my name's sake … and (therefore) will inherit eternal life.”  [v.29]So we must each ask ourselves, what am I doing in the service of Jesus?  Am I just giving him my spare time?  How has being called to his service changed the priorities in my life? How do I use my Holydays?  Only those who have their priorities right “can be saved” – but they will not have ‘earned' salvation; Paul made a vital point in writing to the Corinthians, “we (are) working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain” [2 Cor 6 v.1]  Do you fully appreciate his grace?  Are you “working together” with your Saviour?  

The First International Noahide Congress Will Gather Six Continents In Jerusalem To Build A Unified Global Religious Movement Preparing For AntichristFor years, NTEB has warned that the Seven Noahide Laws will provide the religious and judicial framework necessary to unite the nations under a counterfeit system of morality without Jesus Christ. Now, in November 2026, representatives from six continents are scheduled to gather in Jerusalem for the First International Congress of Noahides, and the organizers are telling us plainly that this is “a foundation, not a conference.” They are not gathering merely to exchange ideas. They intend to sign a founding charter, establish an international rabbinical court, create regional councils, adopt a unified syllabus, institute structured membership and build the financial machinery necessary to sustain a global religious movement. Christian, keep your wits about you, the man of sin is about to be revealed, and we are about to board Flight #777 on Titus213 Airlines!“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, think about what is being constructed with the First International Noahide Conference. A One World universal moral code, one centralized spiritual authority, one international judicial structure and one worldwide movement—with Jerusalem functioning as its spiritual center. This is precisely the type of institutional scaffolding required before a religious philosophy can become a religious government. The organizers even declare that delegates will arrive as individuals and leave as “one movement.” The scattered pieces are being assembled, the authority is being centralized, and the machinery of worldwide religious administration is being put into place. The deception is found in what the Noahide system appears to offer. It speaks of God, righteousness, prophecy, covenant, morality and the world to come. It condemns murder, theft, sexual immorality, idolatry and blasphemy. To the unsuspecting world, it will appear peaceful, reasonable and righteous. But it offers righteousness without the shed blood of Jesus Christ, reconciliation without the Cross, salvation without the Saviour and a kingdom without the King. It is not atheism attacking religion from the outside; it is a counterfeit biblical religion attempting to replace the gospel from within. We are watching something move from religious theory into institutional reality. The Seven Noahide Laws are being given a charter, courts, judges, councils, textbooks, rituals, financing and a global headquarters in Jerusalem. The First International Congress of Noahides may pass largely unnoticed by the mainstream media, but we are watching this unfold with our spiritual eyes wide open. The organizers say “history is beginning anew” and that the “prophetic hour has arrived”. They say this is a foundation and not merely a conference. On that final point, we should believe them. A foundation is being laid, but it is not being laid upon Jesus Christ. Today we bring you everything you need to know about the First International Conference of Noahides in Jerusalem.

When you trust Jesus Christ to be your Saviour, He not only gives you a new eternal destination, He gives you a completely new life. In this series, New Life, we will discover the scriptural truths that teach us what it means to be a new creation. Christians at every stage of spiritual growth need to experience the abundant, victorious new life in Christ that God intends them to live on a daily basis.

A @Christadelphians Video: **YouTube Summary/Description**In this thought-provoking and wonderfully expositional study, Bible student Roger Lewis joins us to uncover the remarkable account of Achsah – Caleb's daughter. Why did she ask for a field? And what does her bold faith reveal about our own spiritual journey? Set against the backdrop of Judges chapter 1 – a chapter defined by Israel's failure to drive out the Canaanites – Achsah shines as an outstanding example of wholehearted devotion. Through careful, verse‑by‑verse analysis, we discover how Caleb's test for a suitor, Othniel's victory, and Achsah's determined request for “upper and nether springs” point to profound lessons about our promised inheritance. This is an insightful and revealing study that will challenge and inspire you to seek God's blessings with the same fearless, solution‑focused spirit.**Chapters**00:00 – Introduction & Setting the Context 04:00 – Why Ask Questions?

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 13th of July, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Proverbs 27:17: ”As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Then we go to 1 Thessalonians 5:6: ”Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.” We have a responsibility, don't we? Now, how do we keep awake? I heard this from C H Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher. He said one way we keep vigilant and on our toes, as it were, is through Christian fellowship. Do not isolate yourself, my dear friend, if it is possible at all, but have fellowship with one another, not just in church on a Sunday morning, or in a fellowship group on a Wednesday night, but all the time, wherever you meet someone. I had the privilege of speaking to a young man not so long ago. I met up with him. I was on a campsite right up in the northern part of South Africa, and as we started talking, he said to me, ”You know, I remember like yesterday, the big tent on your farm. It was a turning point in my life, sitting in that tent with thirty thousand men inside and another thirty thousand men outside, and how we had fellowship together and how we spoke about the things of God.” As I spoke to him, I was encouraged myself, iron sharpening iron, sparks flying, having a laugh, and maybe even a tearful moment, thinking about how the Holy Spirit moved in our lives together! That is what keeps you on your toes. That is what keeps you from becoming slothful, becoming sleepy, and not watching and praying. So when we had finished, we greeted each other, we prayed, and he went on his way rejoicing, and I was rejoicing. Why? Because we were having fellowship. We were not sleeping as others do but we were talking about our beloved Saviour and the miracle-working power that we find when we spend time talking about Him together.Jesus bless you and remember, if Christ is for you, there is no man that will stand against you.Jesus bless you and goodbye.
