Why Prayerlessness is Sin



This little bunny was fearless; he wasn’t old enough to be afraid.

This one looked at me for a long time.

At first I didn’t like these droopy looking flowers; but I have grown the like them. So beautiful.

I love how these sun flowers always face toward the sun.

The world is closing in on Israel—Gog and Magog. Be alert for it! Iran, Turkey, and Russia are all in on it. It is coming (look at Ezekiel 38, 39).
The devil is planning much deception for the world, but also for a believers. We must resist him and draw near to God.
I resolve to keep up with bible reading and writing. It will do me good and I hope will benefit others.

Here are a few of my latest wildflower photos.





I’m sort of at a standstill. I just finished reading a biography of Oswald Chambers, Abandoned To God. It was so good. I liked reading about Biddy, his wife, and about his daughter Kathleen almost as much as about Oswald. It was a shame that he died so young—but he did so much in those short years.
Politically the country seems to be in a bit of chaos with trump almost being killed (God saved him) and Biden calling it quits. In the mean time the economy is steadily sinking.
Personally, I seem to be just barely holding together. I’m glad I have my book writing to keep me going. I think everyone needs something to keep his mind working—working for the Lord. But I can’t say too much for my body. I guess at my age I can’t expect too much. I walk every other day. Today is my walking day. I have to choose where I will walk. I have four or five places. I always bring a camera with to get nature scenes: flowers, birds, clouds, etc. Most of the park people are very good here in the Twin cities (in MN) to keep up the parks and plant so many wild flowers. I think that is so important.
I hope and pray that you all are surviving the summer heat and whatever you are going through. We all have our own trials. We here are having a normal July—in the low 80’s now with more humidity, yuk.
I’m retired but I do have a painting job starting in a week that will last for a month or so. I pray I will be up for it. Any job I get these days requires a lot of prayer. There is some ladder work to do. I’m sure I will do fine. I do appreciate all of my followers blogs—stories, poems, pictures. I read as many as I can. Take care.

I can’t believe that the media are pushing the Pride events so hard. And they seem so happy about it—that we are giving all the queer people a happy place to go, and be who they are. They announced that this whole month (in Minnesota I guess) is dedicated to Pride people (homosexuals) and that there are over 600 places for them to go. (But in the end they won’t be allowed in Heaven). I wish the church would say something—because the entire movement of pride is evil! And we ought to give them the message of truth—that God hates what they are doing, and He sees it as wicked and a rebellion against Him. (Have you noticed lately how the Pride rainbow colors are displayed everywhere?)
In the ancient world God destroyed all people except Noah because of their wickedness. Then again in Abraham’s day He destroyed two entire cities, all but Lot and his children for their wickedness. They were Pride people too! God was grieved because of them (Gen 18:20). And I hope we as Christians are grieved too.
This sin it seems is not going away. It is multiplying! (their colors are everywhere.) Just as the whole world was infected in Genesis 6, and just as two entire cities were infected, don’t you know that the same thing is happening now. Soon Jesus will come and remove all His people (the Rapture) and He will bring seven years of His wrath on the world. Then one-thousand years later, even when Satan and the demons are locked up, the world again (at least much of the world) will be rebellious against God. This time the entire world and all this universe will be destroyed by fire. Read it in 2 Peter 3:10-12. It is also mentioned in Revelation 20:11, “The earth and heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.” It sounds like God just makes the earth and the heavens disappear. In 2 Peter it reads more like a great explosion by great heat where the elements (the atoms) melt away. Finally, all evil will be gone! And God will make all things new— “A new heaven and a new earth” (Rev. 21:1). I don’t see any idea of a renovation—as most people teach.
This is the message that we ought to be preaching to the world. That all their rebellious pride will not last. It will soon be gone—destroyed. And if they want to see and be a part of the beautiful new earth they must leave behind their sin and rebellion against God, because nothing of the way they are, nothing impure will be allowed to enter heaven (Rev. 21:8, 27).
