Hello Matt and Everyone

This is a Poem I wrote after leaving the Anglican church in my Australian Far Left city

My Book of Poetry
My church Diaries    

Poem 1. Feeling faithfully Homeless  After Today's Moment of Heart crushing  of Trust Breaking In the Holy Temple    

To The Holy Son That died For Me And all Of Us I come to tonight As a Very Lost and Broken woman who strongly knows that despite my Heart shattering today that I have to cling to you Holy Trinity. I never Regretted a Visit To the Holy Temple But Today a Fast Running river in my Eyes that Wants to fall look ike a Rainfall To the Ground   of Regret while the pieces Of my Soul and my Heart the Centre of myself Is Falling apart and Iam Trying to Trust The Holy  Trinity And the Creator Of All Life And the Earth's and the Heaven and the Creatures on earth and the Holy Son that suffered Slashing And Lashings To his Temple and He Surrendered his Life On a Cross for all of Humanity's sins.as I told The staff member that Claims To Be Faithful That I have Bared My Soul to  in Deep Conversations we have Had From the Day we met after the USA Young Preaching And Faithful Man who was a well Respected Patriot that Was Violently and tragically Killed  that Inspired me to Fast Track my walk Of Faith In Life  to spend Some time  inside of the Holy Temple. I found A Anglican temple For Me I Went Inside and there Was the Faithful holy Staff Member and Man That I instantly Connected With and Our first Conversation Felt Like The Heavenly Father Was Working through Me to Open up More Sooner than I normally would Have as I Saw The Small poster  on the Entrance Wall About the Normally Secret Behind Closed Doors Hell that Costs the Lives of Sooo many women. I told the Faithful male member Staff Member That I have Been through  the Behind Closed Doors Hell with  my Earth Father that I should Be Able to Trust With my Safety. And  I wasn't aware Of This Mental and speech Pattern I gave everyone I spoke to about my earth dad's traumatic Treatment Of me that Pattern Of speech Was that My Dad's Mental Battle Of Traumatic Flashbacks PTSD The Reason why My Dad Pushed me around And made me Scared of Him. My church diaries.  And the Faithful  holy Staff Member and Man asked Me does It make it Easier for you to Cope with That saying that Your Dad's Mental Illness is Why he Was a Bully to you. And I was shocked that He Was able to Verbally In reach The deepest Part of My  mind and Heart so I went away and I thought about it And I came to the Life  changing colousion that I have to Surrender my Thought and Mental pattern Of saying My Earth father Pushed Me around Because of His Mental Illness. And That was Very Helpful I did Over time Bare My Soul To the Staff at this holy Temple By Emails and My voice. i told the Faithful Male staff  member The Long Personal Valley Of Trauma In my Past From My Behind Closed Doors Hell and the Knife Trauma  That I have went through At the Age Of 20 years Old and That Caused Me to Do a Ton Of self Heart  operation So that this Trauma doesn't Prevent Me from never entering a Church Again. And The Faithful Man Staff member in the Holy Temple Did Tell Me  that He thinks Iam a Interesting Person. so He Knows My Domestic Violence Part of my Testimony As To Why I Definitely know that I needed Faith In the Holy Trinity And The Temple of Prayer In the city. my church Diaries. Feeling Faithfully Homeless after today's moment of Heart crushing of Trust Breaking in the Holy Temple. Today  I Had Excitement In My Heart and My Mental  Sphere Because I wanted to tell  the Male faithful Holy Temple staff member About my Latest Revolution I have found in My ongoing Self Discovery Path That all My Life I was Told there Was something medically or mentally Wrong with Me and I was attached to Alot Of Australian Government pushed and approved Disability support Organisations That did Nothing for Me and I have Found that  All I needed Was   faith In the Holy Trinity But Today I do feel that male Holy Temple Staff Member shut the door in my Face And He Shattered the trust I thought We Had In pieces by Telling me that He Is No Longer Qualified To talk to Me as He Has Been and That I must chat to The Female Priest That Is In The Holy Temple Now Which I feel goes against Tradition. why did I ever Open Up my Soul to You Faithful holy Temple staff member in the first Place. I do Feel that a Shifting In the Roles of the Staff jobs in the Holy Temple Is Making the church Change. Iam Not sure If I belong there Anymore. my church diaries. I do Need To Pray For the holy Trinity to guide My Way Now As to What to do In this situation  Earlier Tonight I Read The Holy book and I read The Verse that Says That anyone That withholds kindness from a Friend  Forsakes The Fear of the Almighty but My Brothers are As undependaable as Intermittent Streams that OverFlow when Darkened by Thawing ice.  And I thought Of The Male Faithful my Church Diaries.feeling Faithfully Homeless after Today's moment  of the heart Crushing   of trust Breaking  In the Holy Temple

THE ERROR OF ARIUS ABOUT THE INCARNATION

In their eagerness to proclaim the unity of God and man in Christ, some heretics went to the opposite extreme and taught that not only was there one person, but also a single nature, in God and man. This error took its rise from Arius. To defend his position that those scriptural passages where Christ is represented as being inferior to the Father, must refer to the Son of God Himself, regarded in His assuming nature, Arius taught that in Christ there is no other soul than the Word of God who, he maintained, took the place of the soul in Christ’s body. Thus when Christ says, in John 14:28, “The Father is greater than I,” or when He is introduced as praying or as being sad, such matters are to be referred to the very nature of the Son of God. If this were so, the union of God’s Son with man would be effected not only in the person, but also in the nature. For, as we know, the unity of human nature arises from the union of soul and body.

RESTORATION OF MAN BY GOD THROUGH THE INCARNATION

We indicated above that the reparation of human nature could not be effected either by Adam or by any other purely human being. For no individual man ever occupied a position of pre-eminence over the whole of nature; nor can any mere man be the cause of grace. The same reasoning shows that not even an angel could be the author of man’s restoration. An angel cannot be the cause of grace, just as he cannot be man’s recompense with regard to the ultimate perfection of beatitude, to which man was to be recalled. In this matter of beatitude angels and men are on a footing of equality. Nothing remains, therefore, but that such restoration could be effected by God alone.

But if God had decided to restore man solely by an act of His will and power, the order of divine justice would not have been observed. justice demands satisfaction for sin. But God cannot render satisfaction, just as He cannot merit. Such a service pertains to one who ...

I've got a friend of 14 years, we are 30 now so we know each other for half our lives. Ive been trying to bring him closer to God. I don't think hes on a right path in lifehes living with his fiancee and doesnt go to Church. In Poland pretty much everybody gets baptized and goes to first Communion, but i think he didnt go to confirmation.
Last weekend i was talking to him when we were in a car and i told him he could listen to Bible in a Year as i know he likes to listen to audiobooks when going to work. He told me he doesn't believe in God, doesn't think things like miracles happen. He also said that he tried to live like God is real, but he felt like an imposter. I don't know hen he tried that, because since i know him ive never heard that he was going to church every sunday.We started talking about that and his objections mostly were

  • the problem of evil, how can a perfect God create people that have chosen evil and make the world as it is
  • why did God kill so many people (the Flood) and...

Requesting prayers for anyone here right now. 🙏

The supervisor at my workplace just told my coworkers and I that his wife’s father has been on life-support for the last few days. He said that there is no hope for him to recover and that he will soon be taken off life-support. Please pray for him and his family. 🙏🙏🙏

I have been working on this and finally finished it this evening.

Since Joining The Daily Wire...

Since joining The Daily Wire, we’ve started streaming the show on Spotify, and somehow we’re now in the top 7 under Religion & Spirituality. 

Take that, other religions and spiritualities!

Seriously though, thank you to everyone who watches here on Locals, Youtube, or Spotify. 

Christ is King. Glorify Him. 

PS: I know the Internet keeps saying that the Daily Wire is a sinking ship but I disagree :) But even if PWA will sink, it will sink proclaiming the goodness of God and Holy Mother Church.

Thanks for helping me do that.

It's finally here! Jesus Our Refuge 🙌

It’s finally here! 

I’ve been pouring my heart into what I truly believe is an important book—Jesus Our Refuge (get here). It’s the most personal thing I’ve ever written, and my hope is that it helps you find peace and refuge in the heart of Jesus. 

Please consider getting a copy here and reviewing!

P.S. I don’t earn anything from this book. When I wrote it, I knew it had to reach far and wide, so I partnered with a publisher who believes in that mission. Every bit of the royalties I’d have received goes into a fund to give away one million copies for free.
