What the Bible says about light and seed
The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.
The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.” Matthew 13:24,25.

Master, the Tempest Is Raging Praise and Harmony on Victorious God.
1 Master, the tempest is raging!The billows are tossing high! The sky is o'ershadowed with blackness, No shelter or help is nigh; Carest thou not that we perish?" How canst thou lie asleep, When each moment so madly is threat'ning A grave in the angry deep?
Refrain: The winds and the waves shall obey thy will. "Peace, be still!" Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea, Or demons or men, or whatever it be, No water can swallow the ship where lies the Master of ocean and earth and skies: They all shall sweetly obey thy will. "Peace, be still! Peace, be still!" They all shall sweetly obey thy will. "Peace, peace, be still!"
2 Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today; The depths of my sad heart are troubled, Oh, waken and save, I pray; Torrents of sin and of anguish Sweep o’er my sinking soul! And I perish! I perish, dear Master: Oh, hasten and take control. [Refrain]
3 Master, the terror is over, The elements sweetly rest; Earth’s sun in the calm lake is mirrored, And heaven’s within my breast. Linger, O blessed Redeemer, Leave me alone no more; And with joy I shall make the blest harbor, And rest on the blissful shore. [Refrain]

THINK ABOUT HIS LOVE Maranatha singers
This salvation which starts as a spiritual seed planted by the Holy Spirit Himself in the hearts of men who have received Him on His terms is ever expanding and revealing the loving heart of our Heavenly Father at this time of the year and all year long. "And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us". Romans 5:5
Paul prays for the Ephesians in Ephesians 3:14-17 that: "He would grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with power through His spirit in the inner man so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith and that you being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God." This is also my prayer for all of us today and for the coming year. https://thelightseed.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-eternal-spring-of-joy-peace-and.html

Don´t be fooled! Seek the Truth with all your heart and you will find Him.
Written and published by Jean-Louis Mondon
Among all religions, which one doesn´t practice proselytism? They all do it even though some of their adepts sometimes deny the obvious undeniable facts.
Why are Christians accused of believing and declaring that theirs is the only way to God?
Isn´t it narrow minded, exclusive and offensive to people of other religions or atheists?
The reality backed up by facts proves that all religions practice the recruitment of disciples.
Why would anyone believe someone who said: I really don´t believe in the uniqueness of my religion, but I invite you to join us and to see the truth in master´s teaching as a way to reach God.
And yet, that is what I have heard as an argument to accuse christianity of narrow-mindedness.
Islam is notorious for its forcing conversion throughout history, so was the Catholic church.
Swami Vivekananda attended the Parliament of Religions at Chicago in1893 as representative of Hinduism.
Self-Realization Fellowship guru Paramahansa Yogananda followed in 1933.
(I once was an adept of Hindu meditation called Kriya yoga and a disciple of Guru Paramahansa Yogananda before being rescued by the Lord Jesus Christ.)
Who doesn´t remember the Beattles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who first introduced Transcendental Meditation in the US In 1959,
So what is the essential difference which makes Christianity stand apart from all others religions or ideologies not classified as religions, but in effect are?
It boils down to man´s acceptance of God´s of divine grace and rejection of man´s works as the way of reconciliation between sinful man and a holy God who is the one who makes the rules because he is Lord and King and creator of the universe. No other way has been provided by God´s providencial provision for the salvation of mankind.
Peter and John Before the Council
…11This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12 Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” 13When
they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were
unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had
been with Jesus.…
All other religions are based on the principle of work to gain entrance into the presence of God after death. Even some Christian denominations add works to grace as a way to merit salvation.
These statements in no way disrespect other people´s religions or their customs and traditions. God has given each of us human being freedom to choose whom to worship and serve.
What kind of a father would punish this children without instructing them beforehand of what is right and wrong and warning them of the consequences of their actions? The first example of that admonition happened with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.
…16And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, 17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” Genesis 2:16,17.
Argument using numbers:
Have you heard an argument such as this one: Can millions of Hindus be wrong? (Wikipedia) Hinduism has approximately 1.2 billion adherents worldwide (15-16% of the world's population).
Old Testaments Scriptures
Psalm 49:7-9: None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
Psalm 50:23:
“He who offers a
sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who sets his
way properly
I will show the salvation of God.”
Isaiah 42: God wanted the Jews to bring in gentiles to know and worship Him.
6“I,
the LORD, have called you for a righteous purpose, and I will take
hold of your hand. I will keep you and appoint you to be a covenant
for the people and a light to the nations, 7to
open the eyes of the blind, to bring prisoners out of the dungeon and
those sitting in darkness out from the prison house. “
New Testament Scriptures
Acts 10. the story of Cornelius
Cornelius Sends for Peter
1At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment. 2He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly. 3One day at about the ninth hour,a he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?”
The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God. 5Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.b”
21So Peter went down to the menf and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
22“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
23So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
Peter Visits Cornelius
24The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him. 26But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
27As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together. 28He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean. 29So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”
30Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour.g Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me 31and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God. 32Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’
33So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”
Good News for the Gentiles
34Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, 35but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right. 36He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed: 38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
39We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree, 40God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen— 41not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. 42And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead. 43All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
The Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit
(Acts 19:1–7)
44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message. 45All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God.
The Prophecy of Simeon Luke 2: 25-32
25Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts.e And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
28Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
29“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
30For my eyes have seen Your salvation, 31which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”

THE SIMPLE TRUTH OF GOD IS THAT THE TRUTH OF GOD IS SIMPLE -- by Jack Kinsella -
Reposted by Jean-Louis Mondon
One of the most difficult things to grasp about Christianity is its simplicity. It is that simplicity that has spawned literally hundreds of denominations and thousands of cults, sects and sub-sects, all of whom are convinced they have discovered some hidden and complicated truth nobody else ever discovered.
There is a old saying that "the simple truth of God is that the truth of God is simple" and old sayings generally become old sayings because they are true.
"The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and He helped me." (Psalms 116:6)
There is probably no truth explained more simply than the basic doctrine of salvation. It is so simple that a little child can understand it. It is a question that can be answered in a single sentence.
"And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16:31)
Many even seek to complicate that simple answer by focusing on the words "and thy house" instead of simply reading the next verse for context.
"And they spake unto him the Word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house." (Acts 16:32)
That's how people get saved. That's how the jailer got saved, and that's how his family, or his "house" got saved. That's how YOU got saved. By hearing the Word of the Lord.
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." (Romans 10:17)
It's not so complicated. When somebody asks you, "what must I do to be saved?" the answer is the same today as it was when the jailer asked the question of Paul and Silas. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, and . . .
quit smoking
quit drinking
stop running around with unsaved friends
go to church
don't sin
Oh, and a bunch of other stuff, depending on which denomination you end up joining. There are entire websites devoted to showing all the extra stuff you have to do in order to stay saved. But the simple truth of God is simple.
"What must I do to be saved?" the jailer asked.
When Jesus was asked by the Pharisees to name the greatest commandment, it was an effort to trap Him into complicating the simple truth of God. Once the simple truth of God can be complicated, it can be twisted beyond recognition.
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matthew 22:37-40)
So, having dealt with the question," what must I do to be saved?", what about the question, 'what must I do to stay saved?' It isn't all that complicated.
You simply love God above all things and love your neighbor as yourself, do everything on the first list and. . .
keep the Sabbath (Saturday or Sunday, depending on which denomination you end up with)
confess your sins regularly (unless you belong to a group devoted to finding ways you can lose your salvation)
obey most of the ten commandments (most let you skip over the graven images stuff)
live your life in an exemplary fashion (compliance is in the eye of the beholder)
It is human nature to complicate the simple. It is at the heart of every lie since the very first lie told in the Garden of Eden. God gave Adam and Eve one simple rule. It wasn't complicated, so Satan had to find a way to make it seem complicated.
That first lie was delivered in three parts.
"Your eyes shall be opened."
Satan wants us to believe that somehow, as Christians, we can understand the Mind of God. But God Himself says that is impossible.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:9)
The idea that "our eyes shall be opened" carries with it some suggestion that we are privy to some secret, hidden knowlege of God. The truth is that we are made privy to some secret, heretofore hidden, knowledge about OURSELVES.
That we are sinners who stand guilty and without excuse before a Righteous God.
To try and divine the truth about God's promise based on the witness of another implies our eyes have been 'opened' to something only God can know. The condition of another's heart.
The second part of that lie is like unto the first; "Knowing good from evil." Human beings know right from wrong. Good and evil are outcomes -- and outcomes are known ONLY to God.
Each of us has tons of personal examples in our own lives we can look to for confirmation of that truth, usually those things of which we say, "I wouldn't go through that again for anything, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world."
What seemed exceedingly evil at the time, as time goes on, reveals itself to have been, in fact, a good thing. Who knows what God has planned for someone else's life that will come out of their current state of witness?
What is impossible for God?
One need look no farther than Joseph for Biblical evidence of that fact. Joseph's brothers threw him down a well, and later sold him into slavery because they were jealous of his relationship with their father.
Joseph subsequently rose to the position of the second most powerful man in Egypt, just as a famine threatened to wipe out the sons of Israel and their families. They went to Egypt, where Joseph, having been warned by God, had stored up food against the coming famine.
Had Joseph not been in the position he was at the time, his brothers, who were not Egyptians, would have been turned away to starve. God had a plan for Israel and it didn't involve them starving to death before it could come to fruition.
As Joseph himself noted in Genesis 45:3-8, his brothers meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.
In setting up the Oldest Lie in the Book, Satan questioned God's Word;
"Yea, hath God said . . . ?" (Genesis 3:1)
The question led to Eve's ADDING to the Word of God: "neither shall ye touch it" -- God didn't say that. God said,
"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Genesis 2:17)
We are indirectly questioning God's faithfulness based on the evidence of some individual's unfaithfulness. We judge the guy as evil without certain knowledge of the outcome and we end up questioning God as a result. Do you see it?
The third part is "Ye shall be as gods." If we can question God's ability to preserve one's salvation based on the bad works of the one who we believe is saved, then it follows that we play a role in saving ourselves. But only God has the power to save:
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
"I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." (Galatians 2:21)
You can't really make it less complicated than Paul did to the Galatians. "If righteousness comes by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." How much simpler can it be?
Think about that. If one can attain righteousness by being obedient, then He was sacrificed for nothing, since that was already the condition of sinful mankind before He began His ministry.
The simple truth of God is that at the point of salvation, one becomes a new creature.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
That's not complicated. A caterpillar is a little fuzzy worm, distinct and different from a winged insect. Then the caterpillar goes into a cocoon and is transformed. When it emerges, the caterpillar no longer exists, but in its place is a new, winged creature called a butterfly.
The butterfly isn't a caterpillar with wings -- it is an entirely new creature. Remove the wings and it still isn't a caterpillar. It is a one-way transformation. Once it’s a butterfly, it isn't what it WILL be, it is what it IS.
That is why it is called TRANSFORMATION. It is permanent and irrevocable.
"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature." (Galatians 6:15)
Becoming a 'new creature' in Christ is NOT a future event -- it CANNOT be, since it takes place at the moment of salvation. The transformation is complete at that moment. The rest is up to Jesus.
"Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" (Philippians 1:6)
Could it be made any simpler? Who is it that began a good work in you at the moment of salvation?
That is a critical question, since the Bible says that the one that began the good work in you is the one that is charged with performing it until Jesus comes for His Church. Fortunately for us, there is a simple answer to the critical question.
The Bible says at the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit takes up residence in you, and from that moment forward, He will guide you into all truth. (John 16:13) That's pretty simple and straightforward. The Holy Spirit not only indwells us and guides us, He also comforts and assures us.
"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:" (Romans 8:16)
Jesus said that He would send the Comforter and that He would abide with us until the Lord returns for His Church.
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John 14:18)
So, the Comforter, Who is our guide, will indwell us and bear witness with us until the Day of Jesus Christ. He is the One that began the good work and He will abide with us until we see Jesus, either at the Rapture or when we die.
It's pretty simple.
Salvation comes by believing in Jesus as Lord and trusting Him for your salvation.
Once saved, one is transformed into a new creature that isn't the old creature.
The transformation is accomplished by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit will indwell us until He comes for us.
IF I saved myself by my behavior and IF I effected the transformation by an act of my own will, THEN by my behavior I can condemn myself and transform myself back into the old creature.
Pretty simple, really.

The Church as a Lighthouse
Written and published by Jean-Louis Mondon
O faro, minha estrutura humana favorita cujo propósito é alertar e salvar vidas humanas do perigo do mar. Essa imágem aparece na foto de cabeçalho do meu blog. Cuidado quando a luz se apaga durante noites escuras. Mas a luz divina nunca se apaga e brilha nas trevas!
Não podemos pensar que este sistema de alerta protetor contra os perigos do mar furioso pode ser substituido com um clube que provee entretenimento e engano para pessoas pensando que são salvos quando de fato não é a estrutura que os protege mas a Luz divina que brilla dentro dela.
²¹ E chamou ao menino Icabode, dizendo: De Israel se foi a glória! Porque a arca de Deus foi tomada, e por causa de seu sogro e de seu marido.
²² E disse: De Israel a glória é levada presa; pois é tomada a arca de Deus. 1 Samuel 4:21,22
Ezequiel 11:23. João Ferreira de Almeida Atualizada
E a glória do Senhor se alçou desde o meio da cidade, e se pôs sobre o monte que está ao oriente da cidade.
Maranata!
The Lighthouse My favorite human structure whose purpose is to alert and save human lives from iminent danger. It appears in the photo as the header on my blog.
Be careful when the light goes off during dark nights. But the divine Light never goes out and always shines through the darkest nights. Let us not think that we can change this essential warning system protecting us against the perils of the raging seas into a club whose purpose is to entertain and deceive people into thinking that they are safe when in reality it´s not the structure that is important but the Light therein.
…20As she was dying, the women attending to her said, “Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son!” But she did not respond or pay any heed. 21And she named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel,” because the ark of God had been captured and her father-in-law and her husband had been killed. 22“The glory has departed from Israel,” she said, “for the ark of God has been captured.”… 1 Samuel 4:21,22
God's Glory Exits the Temple
18Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim. 19As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and rose up from the ground, with the wheels beside them as they went. And they stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, with the glory of the God of Israel above them. Ezekiel 10:18-19.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
Ezekiel 11:22-25 Here is the departure of God's presence from the city and temple. It was from the Mount of Olives that the vision went up, typifying the ascension of Christ to heaven from that very mountain. Though the Lord will not forsake his people, yet he may be driven away from any part of his visible church by their sins, and woe will be upon them when He withdraws his presence, glory, and protection.

Great Truths
"Great truths are dearly bought, the common truths,
Such as men give and take from day to day,
Come in the common walk of easy life,
Blown by the careless wind across our way.
Great truths are greatly won, not found by chance,
Nor wafted on the breath of summer dream;
But grasped in the great struggle of the soul,
Hard buffeted with adverse wind and steam.
But in the day of conflict, fear and grief,
When the strong hand of God, put forth in might,
Plows up the subsoil of the stagnant heart,
And brings the imprisoned truth-seed to the light.
Wrung from the troubled spirit, in hard hours
Of weakness, solitude, perchance of pain,
Truth springs like harvest from the well-plowed field,
And the soul feels it has not wept in vain."
from Streams in the Desert
Politically Incorrect Love Poem
Written and published by Jean-Louis Mondon
A Breakfast Poem Baked with Love in the Sun
I am hereby registering my lament
At the high court of discontent.
If you can´t read The Book
Without giving me that "Woke" look
You won´t see
What you get,
When you get
What we see. In this world of Yin and Yang
We are forced to choose
To have our life hang
With the one or the other,
As in father or mother.
Or friends and foes
Just to add to our woes
To win or lose
As in topsy-turvy and willy-nilly.
I am not talking about race
No, at least not the one you think
The kind that´s in your face
As antiquated antics
From the bully pulpit
From pie in the sky
To pie in your face
Dems are touchy-feely no more
Reps are namby-pamby encore.
As for me, I am free,
Being right that I left,
Not being in the fold
Not fitting in the mold.
Not being one of the foxes
Feeling small in their boxes
Not being one of the foxes
Feeling small in their boxes
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Me, I declare my passion,
And choose the middle motion.
Having my country left,
Being right in the middle,
Where I want to be found
In the middle of your arms,
Sipping coconut water,
Being enthralled
By the power of your charms.
Since we make such a great team
To add to my irreverence
To add to my irreverence
I'll blow off some steam
And have a little blast
And have a little blast
Playing the part of the iconoclast.
Some people declare seriously:
"Tis better to have loved and lost
Than to have not loved at all".
My slogan forever will be
engraved in bold
My slogan forever will be
engraved in bold
in honor of you and me,
"Tis better to be held than to behold".
Jean-Louis.

Saudade - I miss you - Jean-Louis Mondon
Sinto falta de você
Como o poeta da musa dele
Como o croissant
Do café com leite
Numa manha de deleite
Como o tutti do frutti,
Ai, não! Isso seria o cúmulo!
Sinto falta de você
Como uma floresta sem árvore
Ou um palácio sem mármore
Lábios sem beijos
E como, infelizmente
Meus braços cansados
De não abraçar-te.
Sinto falta de você
Como um trem sem estação,
Como um adeus, sem razão,
Sem lenço, nem lágrimas
Para molha-lo.
Como uma nostalgia
Sem objeto, nem sujeito.
Sinto saudade de você
Como um zéfiro tranquilo
Num redemoinho rugindo.
Como uma surdina
Na trombeta
Anunciando a calma.
Sinto saudade de você
Como uma tempestade de neve
Sem flocos de aveia
Na mesa decorada
Pelo café da manhã
Com um vaso de amor-perfeitos
Ocupados a bater papo
Com monólogos vazios
Sem eco para partilhar
Os sonhos vindouros.
Sinto saudade de você
Sem medo de ambivalência
Sem temor da emoção
Nem necessidade de aprender
Cada um a se compreender
Sem como, nem porquê.
Sinto saudade de você
Ao amanhecer do caminho
Do regresso vencedor
Que marca o destino
De todo grande amor.
Jean-Louis.
