May 11, 2024 570: When a pagan sees the Northern Lights for the first time
By Elizabeth Prata
The National Atmospheric and Oceanographic Administration, AKA NOAA, advised yesterday that an 'extreme' geomagnetic storm was gong to hit the US last night. They issued a rare severe geomagnetic storm warning of 'G5' (highest) when a solar outburst reached Earth on Friday. The effects include glowing lights in the northern sky, colors of ethereal and jaw dropping beauty.
My friends here in Georgia are excited. Northern Lights are rarely seen this far south! Indeed, as I awoke this morning many of them had posted photographs of the Lights in the sky. One social media account posted seeing them as far south as Key Largo, Florida!
How can we help someone who doesn't know after seeing a display like the Northern Lights this far south? Tune in to hear!
---------------------------
It is my joy to write and podcast for you, always pointing
to Jesus, a holier lifestyle, and passing along credible ministry links.

May 06, 2024 567: Encouragement: Keeping our conscience tender
In a semi-rambling post, I look at seasons literally, seasons of sin, then gifts from God, one of which is our conscience. Poor Jeremiah, he never had a convert, the peoples' conscience was so seared they just kept right on sinning. Don't let that be you! At the end I offer several resources on the conscience.
Further resources:
John MacArthur, book, The Vanishing Conscience
RC Sproul 4-min devotional, Don’t Waste Your Conscience
Monergism, selections on the conscience by Puritans, essay by JI Packer: The Puritan Conscience

May 05, 2024 566: More encouragement- our glorious future
There is such inexpressible and perpetual activity in the holy realms, it is breathtaking to think of. All heaven is working under command of our Holy God to ready for the Time. What time? The time when God says to Jesus, "Go get your bride!" And His deposit of our inheritance will be redeemed in full! (Ephesians 1:14; 2 Corinthians 1:22)
