These are increasingly treacherous times within the maelstrom which we live, so keep Christ in your heart and your eyes on the sky!

"Lost In the Labyrinth" (c) 2010 by Jim Yackel
Why is it that for so many, myths are so easily believed? Is the feeling of having one's ears tickled truly that pleasant? Indeed, the deception will be even more easily fostered when the Thundersnow is falling at its heaviest in the coming months, making the visibility of the truth that much lower.
There is no man that can save you. The only One who can save you spent 33 years in human form on earth, but He is not man. He was God in flesh and because He bore the physical detriments of man He bled and died at the hands of men. His bleeding and dying gave us eternal life. He is Jesus and He is God; just as the Holy Spirit and the Father are God. These three are One. They together are the One God Adonai; praise His holy name!
Please do not worship and follow man and his ecumenical movements. As many become blinded by the Thundersnow that will fall and blow semi-sideways on gale-force winds, they will be apt to follow cosmetically-enhanced untruths and doctored doctrines. They will seek what can never be found in lies and in the bitter wind they will die.
Come to life and come today. The movement you need is not on your shoulder, nor will it be floating on the pleasant aroma of incense. To walk a labyrinth will lead you to a place of loss. Instead, would you please come and walk directly to the foot of the cross? And, when you arrive there, wrap your arms around it be blood-stained.
Red blood will be visible in the snow as this multi-facteted and highly-dynamic Storm rages in the weeks that wind-down 2010 to an agonizing sputter. We will know each other by the blood that stains us, when all else will be nearly impossible to see. We are seekers and knowers of the Gospel truth, and we are blood-brethren. We are wayfarers on the straight and narrow path through the Storm, and we will not be lost in the labyrinth.
May we please pray?
Gracious and merciful Lord - let your truth override the movements of men as visibility diminishes while the Storm increases. Jesus, please equip your Storm Troopers to manifest your truth through our walks dressed in blood-stained uniforms. It is by Your blood we are saved and in the growing Storm that is singing as a deceptive lullaby today many will die when the jukebox goes silent and the maelstrom rages like an angry drunkard.
Your truth and Your strength will reign and be manifest in us who aspire to it with servant's hearts and a lover's passion. Guide us and use us in truth. Use us the Storm Troopers as firm but loving warriors that will not blacken eyes but instead open them. Jesus, how we love to proclaim your name, and in your name we pray - amen!
