I believe that Jesus and the First Century Apostles and Disciples were the Firstfruits of the Resurrection. Furthermore, based upon my understanding of the Scriptures, I believe that God has been working throughout the ages since that time to bring in the latter fruits and the latter harvest.

It is odd, but even in their great destructive power, we find volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons, etc., awe-inspiring. The tremendous power which God has imbued in the natural creation demands our respect.
We have all seen it: Reposts, retweets, retruths . . . ad nauseam. It seems that many of the social networks have become nothing more than echo chambers where the same content is posted over and over and over again! Enough already!
Personally, I like original content. In fact, I create a lot of original content in Adobe Photoshop — over 7,000 graphics to date — which my online friends are welcome to freely share, as long as they don’t alter my images in any way.
So, if you really want me to accept your friend request, then one way in which you can improve your chances is by posting your OWN fresh, original content, instead of the same old, same old. Got it? Great!
We’ve all heard of the munchkins,
In young Dorothy’s faraway OZ,
But we are known as Christians,
And we have a much greater cause.
No, we don’t fight against witches,
Indeed, the Devil is our true foe,
We expose his lies and deceptions,
So the truth you will finally know.
But oh how his cohorts so hate us,
They constantly try to shut us down,
Surely if they ever got the means,
They would run us right out of town.
But we have a brave, fearless leader,
He courageously leads us in the fight,
And keeps us safe from all the wolves,
By ever steering us towards the Light.
So if you are tired of brainwashing,
And all of their paranoia and fear,
We are extremely happy to tell you,
You are welcome to join us here.
