40 He pressed his case with many other arguments and kept pleading with them, “Save yourselves from this perverse generation!” Acts 2  source

What does Peter mean? 
Save yourselves from this perverse generation?

What does perverse mean, anyway? This: Contrary to what is right or good; wicked or depraved

I wonder what Peter would call these present generations? 
No. I really don’t wonder. It is obvious, isn’t it? 

So how do we save ourselves from this perverse generation? 

I am suggesting an excellent start is to read at least a chapter of Scripture every day and pray. Pray about everything! 

What say ye?

I have been rather lax this week with writing – why?  
Occupied I suppose — I am anticipating more occupation mid-week next week too.
But that does not mean you all are not on my mind — I have a blanket request for you all in my daily prayer journal. 

I read 2 Thessalonians 2 today and made many notes in my notebook. I also had questions. Imagine that, huh? 

I am not prepared to share it all, but I am inclined to share a comforting thought. 

The people of Thessalonica were alarmed; some folks had told them YESHUA had already returned. 
We’d be alarmed too, would we not at such a message? 
So Paul set about to set their minds at ease.

I don’t have all the answers and I have more questions.
There are matters of eschatology that are beyond my learning at this time and that had been concerning me. 
But today, coupled with a prayer a dear sister prayed with me this week, I have this direction: 

Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, don’t be afraid to think outside of that traditional box; don’t be afraid to explore for the TRUTH.
And as you do: Trust Father to protect.
Trust Holy Spirit to teach. 
Trust JESUS to return. 

And in the meantime occupy! 
Let us occupy ourselves with listening, obeying, loving, and going about our lives doing good. 

Acts 10:38
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 

Amen and amen – make it so of us too, Father.

Of this lovely month of April 2022.

Luke 24:50 — a very special verse to me. 

50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 
51 While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 
52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 
53 and were continually in the temple praising God. source 

Acts 1: 9 After saying this, he was taken up before their eyes; and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 As they were staring into the sky after him, suddenly they saw two men dressed in white standing next to them.
11 The men said, “You Galileans! Why are you standing, staring into space? This Yeshua, who has been taken away from you into heaven, will come back to you in just the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” 
source

Why am I sharing this with you?
Read it again. 

JESUS is coming back!!
Count on it! 

And what are we to do until then ~ ~ ~ 52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 
53 and were continually in the temple praising God.
