I've moved over to RightToGod.blogspot.com for one simple reason. I'd always intended for the blog be by Ron and me, and suddenly realized how self-focused it was to name it after myself. I hope you'll follow me/us there, too.
I read an article about Anna the prophetess in Priscilla Papers, and, I admit, I had to look her up. (I never claimed to be a Bible scholar.) What an inspiration she is for me! She spent her life praying, never leaving the temple, and was there when Jesus was brought in for the required infant ceremonies. Even more beautiful than that, she recognized him for who he was, the Christ.
What an inspiration, to be so deep in prayer that we see who someone really is, even though they can't ---or don't--- tell us. Perhaps, especially when they don't tell us.
Mercy, peace and grace be multiplied to you, my friends.

Peacemakers
“But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.
“And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness” (James 3:17-18 NLT).
Our book, "The Right to God," has a section on Healers and Falsifiers, and while it's about recognizing modern day false teachers, it's even more about becoming a Healer than a Falsifier. That chapter in the book ends with this quote, because being a peacemaker ---a Healer, as we call it--- may be more important than just about anything else in life, yet goes against the grain of our society.
When you read the book ---if you read the book--- don't be afraid of the section on Falsifiers. We've seen a trend recently toward posting lists of supposed Christian false teachers, and we don't do any such thing. In fact, we'll tell you that Falsifiers ---false teachers--- are found in every faith and spiritual philosophy. We'll merely show you how to recognize them, as Jesus taught, and we'll show you how to move toward being a Healer.
It's as much about what you are as what you aren't. As for us, we want to be known as peacemakers. We want to be seen as Healers.
