This post introduces my first video uploaded on my new YouTube channel. In fact, this is actually my third attempt at maintaining a YouTube presence. Unfortunately, my previous channels were taken down because YouTube claimed my content did not comply with their community guidelines.
Pat,
Today's reading is in Matthew 2, sharing important insights, especially highlighting the Wycliffe Bible translation. John Wycliffe was the first person to translate the Bible into English in 1382 — over 600 years ago. His work made the scriptures accessible to English speakers, and it's crucial to recognize the version he created, even though it included texts now classified as "apocryphal."
Hello, I’m Suzanne Barron, founder of Christ The True Light. I’ve been on this journey for some time, and recently, YouTube has decided to remove my videos—not once, but multiple times. I’ve been thinking a lot about why that is. My teachings aren’t exactly mainstream, and let’s be honest, they might be a little too controversial for their community guidelines. A lot of my content dives into things like mental health, psychotropic drugs, and, frankly, the truth that these drugs aren't helping people. I often find myself saying that the mental health system and the drugs associated with it can be damaging, and people don't always like hearing that. In fact, some even consider it "dangerous" to talk about quitting medications. But I’m not going to get into that on this post. Instead, I want to start fresh with a new approach to my content.
Matthew 13:36-42 Then he let go the people, and came into an house; and his disciples came to him, and said, Expound to us the parable of the tares of the field. Which answered, and said, He that soweth good seed is man's Son; the field is the world; but the good seed, be sons of the kingdom, but tares, these be evil children; the enemy that soweth them is the fiend; and the ripe corn is the ending of the world, [forsooth] the reapers be angels. Therefore as tares be gathered together, and be burnt in fire, so it shall be in the ending of the world. Man's Son shall send his angels, and they shall gather from his realm all causes of stumbling, and them that do wickedness; and they shall send them into the chimney of fire; there shall be weeping and beating together of teeth.
These be the generations of heaven and of earth, in the day wherein the Lord God made heaven and earth, and each little tree of [the] earth before that it sprang out in [the] earth; and he made each herb of the field before that it burgeoned. For the Lord God had not (yet) rained on the earth, and no man there was that wrought the earth but a well went out of [the] earth, and moisted all the higher part of the earth.
The recent claim that a NASA lander may have inadvertently destroyed microbial life on Mars raises profound ethical and spiritual questions. According to a report, a scientist posited that the Viking lander, a groundbreaking mission in the 1970s, might have unintentionally killed what it sought to discover—alien life. This thought-provoking theory invites reflection on our stewardship of God’s creation and the consequences of tampering with it.
29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
The Bible’s enduring relevance is partially rooted in its adaptability through translations. Each version conveys the same foundational truths but with nuanced language that reflects the translator’s context and theological emphasis. Comparing modern translations of James 1:9-11 with the Wycliffe Bible (1382) reveals both subtle and profound differences in tone, emphasis, and interpretation. As the first English translation, the Wycliffe Bible holds a unique place in history, offering a foundational lens for understanding scripture and placing trust in its authenticity and unaltered message.
5 And if any of you needeth wisdom, ask he of God, which giveth to all men largely, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him. 6 But ask he in faith, and doubt nothing; for he that doubteth, is like to a wave of the sea, which is moved and borne about of the wind. 7 Therefore guess not that man, that he shall take any thing of the Lord. 8 A man double in soul is unstable in all his ways.
12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee. 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: 15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— 16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Today, I feel called to share something deeply personal and profoundly spiritual. This is not just a story—it’s a testimony of divine intervention.
Genesis 49:1 And Jacob called his sons, and said to them, Gather ye yourselves together, that I tell to you those things that shall come to you in the last days.
24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
Dear Mr. Leaver,
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.
NIV 2011:
1 Thus the heavens H8064 and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. H6635 2 And on the seventh day God H430 ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God H430 blessed the seventh day, and sanctified H6942 it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
This poem explores the struggle between darkness and redemption found within us through Christ. It begins by depicting a "single spirit" that embodies despair and sin, weaving through lives and igniting violence and turmoil. Amidst this chaos, the voice of Christ emerges as a beacon of hope, offering healing and the promise of redemption.
This is a poem that personifies the destructive power of drugs: A Poem on Their malevolence discussing their destructive power. Presenting them as a malevolent force that promises destruction and despair. Through my ministry I am revealing the man of Sin, this is one of his tactics. This poem describes the destructive impact drugs have on individuals and their loved ones, highlighting the moral decay, loss of relationships, and ultimate loss of self that can result from addiction. The poem’s tone is warning and accusatory, emphasizing the irreversible damage that drugs can inflict and the choice each person has to avoid their grasp.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance! 9 Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 10 Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire. 11 “I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.” 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?” 15 But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him. 16 Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him. 17 Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. 8 God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit."
4 Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him. 6 They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
This post is a call to honor our veterans this Labor Day and advocate for meaningful change. While many of us look forward to a long weekend filled with barbecues, beach trips, and celebrations, there's an unfortunate irony: as we enjoy the festivities, countless veterans—who have served our nation and contributed to its workforce—are left homeless, unable to join in. Labor Day should not only be a celebration of American labor but also a moment to reflect on those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. This day offers an opportunity to recognize their struggles and call for action, ensuring veterans receive the support they desperately need. We must do better.
3 And God H430 said, Let there be light: H216 and there was light. H216 4 And God H430 saw the light, H216 that it was good: H2896 and God H430 divided H914 the light H216 from H996 the darkness. H2822. 5 And God H430 called the light H216 Day, and the darkness H2822 he called Night. H3915 And the evening H6153 and the morning were the first day.
1 In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, 2 “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” 3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
1 In the beginning, God H430 created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, H8414 and void; H922 and darkness H2822 was upon the face of the deep. H8415 And the Spirit H7307 of God H430 moved H7363 upon the face of the waters.
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men[a] from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, 2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.” 3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born. 5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram. 4 Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon. 5 Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse. 6 Jesse became the father of King David. David became the father of Solomon by her who had been Uriah’s wife. 7 Solomon became the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa. 8 Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah. 9 Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah. 10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Josiah. 11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon. 12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor. 14 Azor became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud. 15 Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan.
