    Ample proof of the above statement is the recognition of the negative impact of today's SM. Though we recognize SM as Social Media the recognition of SM by its earlier affiliation as Sado Masachism is still more appropriate.

    Then too look at the even more debilitating impact of the people in countries like Kenya where the work of SM monitoring and censoring is carried out.

    And todays news, January 14, 2026, is rife with the impact of Grok.

    An interesting observation of Nietzsche.

    "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher and cultural critic

  2. 10:30…“Thou art the Truth, thy word alone
    True wisdom can impart;
    To thee I yield a willing mind,
    And open all my heart.”

    Christian hymn "Thou Art the Way; to Thee Alone," written by George Washington Doane in 1824.
    The hymn is based on John 14:6, where Jesus states, "I am the way, the truth, and the life". It is notably the first American-authored hymn to be included in the influential English collection Hymns Ancient and Modern in 1860.

    What of an "Open Heart"?

    William Paley: Many historians and researchers, such as those at The Anonymous Press, suggest the quote is actually a derivative of a statement by the 18th-century theologian William Paley. Paley originally wrote in A View of the Evidences of Christianity (1794): "Contempt prior to examination is an intellectual vice, from which the greatest faculties of mind are not free".
    Alcoholics Anonymous (AA): The quote gained modern fame through its inclusion in the AA "Big Book"

  3. I have received Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I love Jesus because He first love me. I live for Jesus because He died for my sins on the cross for my sins. I am ready to meet my Lord Jesus anytime soon. Praises and thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.

  4. 12:4012:49 .." the Anointed of God, the only Priest in whom to trust"
    Also 11:53.." but I must look upon Jesus Christ as being the only priest in whom I confide"

    RC church, Lutheran Church, Anglican church, and Orthodox and ? Possibly use the following to continue the priesthood now.

    Revelation 1: 6 "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." 7. "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen"

    John is given a vision of the second advent here as indicated by verse 7.

    The recognition of the time when 'some' servants will be rewarded with oversight as Jesus taught in the Gospels and is recorded therein.
