FAIR SUNSHINE

Facebook Post. November 9, 2020. Marriage is the mysterious earthly parallel of Christ's love for His pure and spotless bride, the redeemed elect. It is not the union between two human beings seeking personal gain and enjoyment from each other. The foundation of a happy marriage is founded upon the perfect purpose of its author: selflessness. A sacred vow broken only at death. It is where the wife seeks to serve her husband better than he loves her, and the husband seeks to love and serve the wife better than she loves him.

 Facebook Post. May 27th, 2020. "The life of a Christian is filled up with the interchanges of sickness and health, weakness and strength, want and wealth, disgrace and honor, crosses and comforts, miseries and mercies, joys and sorrows, mirth and mourning. All honey would harm us; all wormwood would undo us - a composition of both is the best way in the world to keep our souls in healthy constitution.. And though every wind that blows, shall blow good to the saints, yet for certain their sins die most, and their graces thrive best when they are under the frigid, drying, nipping wind of calamity, as well as under the warm, nourishing wind of mercy and prosperity. But God, who is infinite in wisdom and matchless in goodness, has ordered troubles, yes, many troubles to come trooping in upon us on every side. As our mercies, so our crosses rarely come single; they usually come treading one upon the heels of another; they are like April showers, no sooner is one troubl...

Facebook Post. April 19th, 2020. There was a time when I had nowhere else to go. Every step I took was a mistake. I envied people who despite having no God were well-off, when I saw how prosperous they've become even as drunkards. They do not suffer, and are always well-fed. They do not have the same problems as common men; their stockrooms are always full. Not only that, but they can afford to be arrogant. To do as they wish and go where they wish. Their prosperity causes them to commit wrong; their thoughts are always about pleasuring self. They talk down on other people; they can afford to threaten and sue others. They speak as if they can buy what they want, and lay claim to anyone they want. Therefore, they have more than enough food to eat, more than enough friends to drink with, and sometimes, even take what is not theirs. They say, “What do you mean God sees what I do? Is God even aware of what goes on? And besides, I'm not a religious bigot. God loves ...

 Facebook Post. May 3rd, 2020. A PARAPHRASED REPOST Welcome to the world today. Where sex is free and love is expensive. Where losing your phone is more painful than losing your virginity. Where being modern means showing off your body to people you don't know for the sake of likes and follows. Where being profane is to feel you belong. Where boys remain boys and refuse to become men, and girls become men so they can rule over them. Where divorce and annulment is easier than to fight for your marriage. Where if you don't fool your partner you're not clever enough. Where bathrooms have become photo studios. Where pizza delivery is faster than emergency response. Where people fear thieves and terrorists more than God. Where worshiping God is difficult. Where churches have become party venues. Where lies become realities. Where if the truth goes against people's bias it's called a conspiracy. Where ladies fear pregnancy than contracting a disease out ...

Facebook Post. May 21st, 2019 There is nothing I can do that God should save me. There is nothing I can do that God would lose me.  John 10:28-29 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man take them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to take them out of my Father's hand.   Psalms 97:10 ..he preserves the souls of his saints;

Facebook Post. May 21st, 2020 In my fourth year high school, my history teacher (now deceased) said something that stuck with me. He said, "If the government mandates laws outside the constitution that go against the good of the people, it is an evil government. A Jacobin revolution is in order." Much like autoimmune disease where the body goes to war with itself, the diseased system is now presently at war with its citizenry. Pushing the situation to a position of desperation, so much so that society will clamor for any quick fix without question and thought just to get everything back to the way they were. The "remedy" is just around the corner. Its already been there at the same time the problem was created. They had to create a problem to sell the solution. They just need to let the people bleed out a little more to have them begging for the solution without questioning it. This is what it is coming to. Did not Christ warn us that the wind blowin...

Losing. Conceding. Being weak. Being despised and laughed at. Being maligned. Being singled out. Rejection. Desperation. Hopelessness. Failure. Defeat. Giving up. People naturally want none of these. Perhaps it explains why many people today are merely on survival mode or on auto-pilot. Without control. Fearful. But still trying. Turning to religion instead either to find answers or maintain an outward appearance of piety. It is possible to know a lot about God, without knowing Him intimately. The world may look down on such situations, but it is only in these times that Christ comes to reveal himself to people, to those who are at the end of their rope. So next time when people curse you, bless them. When they shout at you, give them a gentle answer. When you feel like engaging an argument, stop. Breathe. Concede. Consider people to be better than you in everything. Exchange your frustrations for His peace. Meekness is a far greater virtue than winning. Af...

Facebook Post. Jun 3rd, 2020. The bible describes a different Jesus from what I knew as a Roman Catholic. I was taught a Jesus who is distant, unmindful, and oblivious. Who operates in red tape bureaucracy that His earthly 'mother' is more approachable, more merciful, and more powerful. A Jesus bruised a bit here and there forever hanging defeated on a cross, white and pale, with eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot hear. Once a year during holy week this Jesus dies, and every mass He is sacrificed again and again in vain and for whatever reason, I do not know. I only knew I had to hear mass, eat a wafer, be sorry when a priest is present - but I'm free to do whatever pleases me. I can hate members of my family, I can swear, I can watch what I want, I can do what I want, I can lie, I can take sides with a thief, - I just need to do rituals. That's it. A Jesus that offers absolutely no hope in death. I just need to have money to pay a priest to say pray...

Facebook post. October 7th, 2020.   Sunday is the national day of hypocrisy for many professing Christians. It is when churches are filled with people singing songs they do not mean, talking about a holiness they do not want to live out, and worshiping a God they do not know. The difference between the things you say and the things you mean, is found in what you are prepared to sacrifice for it. Yes, you can give gifts and everything else to anyone, but not your very life. Why? Because you only give this to the one you truly love. Mark 12:30 ..thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Matthew 10:37-39 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me. He who finds his life shall lose it: and he...
