They have the appearance of horses;
they gallop along like cavalry.
With a noise like that of chariots
they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire consuming stubble,
like a mighty army drawn up for battle.

Playlist – Fuck them people: A Praise Break
Take a break to praise your Creator. Stomp it out. Scream it out. Shake it out. Release the tensions and frustrations binding you in this climate of intentional terror. For those of us who are awake belong to the day. We are to “put on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.”

ACAD – End of the World / Day of the LORD (Romans 10)

For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousnessContinueContinue reading “ACAD – End of the World / Day of the LORD (Romans 10)”
ACAD – End of the World / Day of the LORD (1 Thessalonians 5)
While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.
