From Tears to Triumph – The Power of a Praying Mother.

January 2, 2025 By Richard A. Volunteer

The world celebrates the New Year with fireworks and celebrations. You and I are left with a reality of not much to celebrate. If you live in Israel, Gaza, or Ukraine after years of war or the USA struggling to make ends meet – we all face 2025 with our challenges.

I was reflecting on my journey of faith and how a praying mother is the only reason I am still alive. It was not luck or good fortune that spared me the consequences of a life of drink, drugs, and crime. It was God who protected me, to bring me to Himself late in life, in a wonderful demonstration of His Grace.

I am drawn to this story and Augustine’s reflections could be my own. Of another mother at another time long ago…

Monica could be called the “persistent mother.” A North African woman living in the fourth century, Monica was married to Patricius, a pagan, as arranged by her family. She endured significant abuse from her drunken husband, but her greatest challenge came from her oldest son, Augustine.

Monica taught Augustine how to pray when he was a child. When he became seriously ill, he requested baptism; however, after his recovery, he soon forgot about it.

Later, while studying in Carthage, he embraced a hedonistic lifestyle, living with his girlfriend and their son. Monica was so distressed by Augustine’s choices that she would not allow him to eat or sleep in her home. Her heart broke watching his prodigal lifestyle.

Despite their infrequent communication, Monica continued to pray for her son. She requested the bishop to go and counsel her wayward son. After many requests, the bishop advised her that it was better to talk to God about Augustine than to speak to Augustine about God.

He also reassured her: “At present, the heart of the young man is too stubborn, but God’s time will come. It is not possible that the son of so many prayers and so many tears should be lost.”

Augustine’s time came several years later. In Milan, the preaching of Bishop Ambrose profoundly influenced him. Soon after, Augustine found himself torn between his desire to live a chaste life and the temptations of his hedonistic sensual life.

In his distress, he went to an outdoor garden at the place where he was staying. There, he threw himself on the ground under a tree and cried out, “How much longer, Lord? Will your anger remain forever? Please, forget my wrongdoings.”

At that very moment, he heard a neighbor child singing from the other side of the wall. The child kept repeating the phrase, “Tolle lege! Tolle lege!” which means “Take up and read!” Augustine stood up, went inside, and found a Bible that opened to Romans 13.

He read in Romans 13 Verse 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in immorality and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

Ambrose baptized Augustine on Easter Sunday in 387. Soon after, his mother passed away. Just before her death, Monica expressed her contentment, saying, “I do not know what there is now left for me to do or why I am still here. All I wished to live for was to see you converted and become a child of heaven.”

From that time on, Augustine led a virtuous life. He was later ordained and named the bishop of Hippo. Augustine is recognized as one of the great scholars of the early church.

Here are some famous quotes from Augustine:
“Late have I loved you, beauty so old and so new: late have I loved You.
In my unlovely state, I plunged into those lovely created things which You made.
You were with me, and I was not with You.
The beautiful things kept me far from You; though if they did not exist in You, they would have no existence at all.
You called and cried out loud, shattering my deafness.
You were radiant and resplendent; You cast away my blindness.
You were fragrant, and I drew in my breath and now pant after You.
I tasted You, and I am left hungry and thirsty for You.
You touched me, and I am set on fire to obtain the peace which is Yours.”

Later he wrote – “You have made us for yourself, O Lord and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”

These words remind us that no one is beyond God’s reach.

As this year ends and we begin a new, Monica’s story invites us to remain faithful to prayer. If you are praying for a child, spouse, or friend, let her example strengthen your resolve.

Trust that God is at work—even when you cannot see it. This year we may need that faith.

Kind Regards,

A. Volunteer.

Europe Swings Right

July 1, 2024 By Richard A. Volunteer

I read prophecy as pictures of the future. There is no way to tell what comes first and how the pictures all line up. Like the Scriptures told of Jesus’ life, from Nazareth, out of Egypt, riding a foal to enter Jerusalem, coins thrown in a Temple to buy a potter’s field could only be determined AFTER they happened.

Revelation and Daniel speak of a 10-nation union in Europe that shakes the world. When and how is not known so I look for events describing how this could be coming together.

DAN. 7:23 “Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it.
DAN. 7:24 ‘As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.  REV. 17:12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.
REV. 17:13 “These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

Europe’s political landscape is significantly transforming, marked by a shift towards right-wing ideologies. This change was most evident in the recent European Union elections, where center-right and far-right parties have made substantial gains in countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Poland. This trend signifies a departure from the liberal values traditionally associated with the EU, indicating a profound shift in the continent’s political sphere.

The French Shift: National Rally’s Rise

In France, the far-right National Rally achieved a decisive victory that led to a major political upheaval. President Emmanuel Macron, in response to the overwhelming success of the National Rally, dissolved the French parliament and called for early elections. Early results indicated that the National Rally would secure around 32% of the vote, significantly surpassing the president’s party.

This shift in France is particularly significant given the country’s historical resistance to far-right ideologies. France has long prided itself on its commitment to liberal democracy and human rights, making the rise of the National Rally a notable departure from this tradition. The party’s platform, which emphasizes nationalism, stricter immigration controls, and skepticism towards the EU, resonates with a substantial portion of the French electorate who feel left behind by globalization and disillusioned with the current political establishment.

Germany’s Political Realignment

Germany also experienced a significant rightward shift, with the center-right party achieving a comfortable victory. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) secured second place, surpassing Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats. The AfD’s rise in Germany is particularly noteworthy given the country’s historical context. Post-World War II Germany has been vigilant in avoiding the resurgence of extremist ideologies. However, the AfD’s platform, which includes anti-immigration policies, Euroscepticism, and a focus on German national identity, has found a receptive audience among voters dissatisfied with the status quo. This shift represents a significant challenge to Germany’s political stability and its role as a leading proponent of EU integration.

Italy’s Embrace of the Right

In Italy, the rightward shift has been embodied by Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing party, which garnered about 28% support. This result highlights the growing appeal of right-wing ideologies in one of Europe’s largest economies. Meloni’s party, Brothers of Italy, traces its roots to post-World War II neofascism but has successfully rebranded itself to appeal to a broader electorate. The party’s emphasis on national sovereignty, anti-immigration policies, and conservative social values has resonated with many Italian voters who feel alienated by the traditional political parties.

Meloni’s rise to prominence is a testament to her strategic political maneuvering. She has managed to distance her party from its more extreme elements while maintaining a hardline stance on key issues such as immigration and national identity.

Spain’s Far-Right Surge

Spain has also seen a rise in far-right support, exemplified by the Vox party’s significant gains. Founded almost a decade ago, Vox has become the third-largest party in Spain’s national assembly and has doubled its vote in recent regional and municipal elections. The party’s platform includes strong nationalist rhetoric, anti-immigration policies, and a commitment to traditional Spanish values. Vox’s success in striking deals with the center-right People’s Party (PP) to form governing coalitions in several regions highlights the increasing normalization of far-right parties within Spain’s political landscape.

Vox’s rise is particularly noteworthy in the context of Spain’s recent history. The country transitioned to democracy in the late 1970s after decades of dictatorship under Francisco Franco. The resurgence of far-right ideologies in Spain reflects broader societal concerns about national identity, economic uncertainty, and cultural change.

The Netherlands: Fragmented and Fraught

In the Netherlands, populist and nationalist parties hold a significant number of seats, reflecting the fragmented nature of Dutch politics. Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV), Thierry Baudet’s Forum for Democracy (FvD), and the Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB) have all made notable gains. These parties capitalize on issues such as immigration, EU skepticism, and government environmental policies, resonating with voters who feel disenfranchised by the traditional political establishment.

Hungary and Poland: Strongholds of the Far Right

Hungary and Poland have long been considered strongholds of far-right ideologies within the EU. In Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party has dominated the political landscape for over a decade. Orbán’s government has implemented policies that limit press freedom, weaken judicial independence, and curtail civil liberties. These actions have drawn criticism from the EU, but Orbán’s anti-immigration stance and nationalist rhetoric continue to resonate with a substantial portion of the Hungarian electorate.

In Poland, the Law and Justice Party (PiS) has maintained its grip on power by promoting conservative social policies, Euroscepticism, and a strong stance against immigration. The party’s emphasis on Polish national identity and traditional values has garnered significant support, particularly in rural areas and among older voters. Both Hungary and Poland illustrate how far-right ideologies can gain traction and sustain political power within the EU framework.

Greece and Bulgaria: A Shift to the Right

In Greece and Bulgaria, center-right parties have comfortably led recent elections, reflecting a broader trend towards right-wing ideologies in Southern and Eastern Europe. In Greece, the New Democracy party has capitalized on public dissatisfaction with the previous left-wing government, promising economic reforms, stricter immigration controls, and a return to traditional Greek values.

In Bulgaria, the center-right GERB party has maintained its position as the leading political force. The party’s emphasis on economic stability, anti-corruption measures, and EU integration has resonated with voters. However, the rise of far-right and nationalist parties in both countries indicates a growing dissatisfaction with the political establishment and a desire for more radical change.

The European Parliament: A New Right-Wing Influence

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Austria’s Freedom Party leader Herbert Kickl, and Czechia’s former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš have formed a new far-right alliance called “Patriots for Europe”. The alliance aims to attract more partners and become the largest right-wing group in the European Parliament. Orbán announced this initiative in Vienna, coinciding with Hungary taking over the EU’s rotating presidency.

The recent European Parliament elections saw gains for far-right parties, although their success varied across countries. These parties are currently spread across different groups and unaligned factions in the EU legislature. Orbán has frequently opposed key EU decisions, particularly on issues like the war in Ukraine and relations with Russia and China, which has often frustrated other EU leaders.

Orbán emphasized that Europeans desire peace, order, and development, but are currently facing war, migration, and stagnation from the Brussels elite.

We see a shift to the right. History shows that a Depression or economic collapse will spur this transformation. The 1930’s Great Depression gave us Hitler. Tito, Tojo, Franco, Stalin, and Mussolini were Nationalist populist leaders who promised a cure for unemployment and inflation.

Since history moves in cycles…. We are due for a repeat.

War of Lies

May 24, 2024 By Richard A. Volunteer

Written by David Sacks - The war in Ukraine is based on lies — lies about how it started, how it’s going, and how it will end. We are told that Ukraine is winning when in fact it is losing. We are told that the war makes NATO stronger when in fact it is depleting it. We are told that Ukraine’s biggest problem is a lack of funds from the U.S. Congress when in fact the West can’t produce enough ammunition — a problem that will take years to fix. We are told that Russia is suffering greater casualties when in fact Ukraine is running out of soldiers — another problem money can’t fix. We are told that the world is with us when in fact the Global Majority believes U.S. policy is the height of folly.

We are told that there is no opportunity to make peace when in fact we have rejected multiple opportunities for a negotiated settlement. We are told that if Ukraine keeps fighting, it will improve its negotiating position when in fact the terms will only get much worse than what was already available and rejected.

Nevertheless the lies will succeed in dragging out the war. Congress will appropriate more funds. Russia will take more territory. Ukraine will mobilize more young men and women to feed into the meat grinder. Discontent will mount. Eventually there will be a crisis in Kiev and the Zelensky government will be toppled.

And then, when the war is finally lost, when the whole country lays in smoldering ruins on a funeral pyre of their own making, the liars will say “well we tried.” Having prevented any alternative, having smeared anyone who told the truth as puppets for the enemy, the liars will say “We did our best. We stood up to Putin.”

In fact, they will claim, we would have succeeded but for the fifth column of Putin apologists who stabbed the Ukrainians in the back. Then, having shifted blame and patted themselves on the back, they will blithely move on to the next war, as they moved onto Ukraine after their disasters in Afghanistan and Iraq. The lies are comprehensive — but they will work.

Insights from Idioms and Yeshua’s Wisdom

August 24, 2023 By Richard A. Volunteer

John, caught in the relentless whirlwind of life’s daily grind, was in charge of the company picnic. His temper flared and he blew a fuse when the heavens opened up, raining cats and dogs. His best laid plans went up in smoke.  Ironically, his buddy, a TV weatherman, had given him a heads-up straight from the horse’s mouth – a warning of impending heavy rain.  John had dismissed it as leg-pulling, but now he realized he was up a creek without a paddle. “Well, I guess that’s just the way cookies crumble,” John muttered, fretting over the possibility of getting the axe from his boss.

In our daily discourse, idioms like “a bull in a China shop” and “when the cows come home” pepper our language with vivid expressions. These phrases have ingrained themselves into our speech over the years to the point of becoming commonplace. They’re like word pictures painting vivid depictions of various scenarios. “What’s the matter, cat got your tongue?” or “I’m just killing time” are perfect examples.

Hebrew idioms have similarly woven themselves into millions’ everyday conversations. Consider, for instance, the biblical expressions such as the story of a man unwilling to “go the second mile” or the celebration that goes, “we’re going to kill the fatted calf.” She couldn’t perceive the “handwriting on the wall,” and another believed he could “walk on water.”

Yeshua, too, employed a Hebrew idiom when He proclaimed His mission was not to “destroy the Law or the prophets.” He used a phrase familiar to his audience in biblical times. Accused of misinterpreting the Torah, Yeshua asserted that He was, in fact, teaching it accurately. What exactly did Yeshua mean by “destroy the Law” and “fulfill the Law”? These terms were like tools in the arsenal of rabbinic argumentation.

When one sage believed that a colleague had misinterpreted a passage of Scripture, he’d accuse, “You are destroying the Law!” Predictably, in most instances, his colleagues would vehemently disagree. What was “destroying the Law” to one sage was “fulfilling the Law” (correctly interpreting Scripture) to another.

In simple terms, Yeshua was stating, “Don’t even entertain the idea that I intend to nullify the Law through misinterpretation.” My intent is not to weaken it but, by faithfully interpreting God’s Written Word, to strengthen it. I would never invalidate the Law by misinterpreting it.”

Matthew 6:22-23 says: “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness” (KJV). Regrettably, translators and educators have grappled with the Hebraic concept of the “evil eye” for an extended period.
• “But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness” (NKJV).
• “If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light” (NKJV).
• “Therefore, if your eye is sound, your whole body shall be full of light” (MKJV).
• “If then your eye is true, all your body will be full of light” (BBE).
• “If your eye is unclouded, your whole body will be lit up” (TCNT).
• “Thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened” (YLT).

This can be quite perplexing. Yeshua’s contemporaries immediately grasped His meaning when He spoke of the “evil eye.” This concept was, and still is, deeply rooted in Hebraic culture. But what did Yeshua truly intend?  From a Hebraic perspective, what is an “evil eye” or a “good eye”?  To unravel this idiom and bring clarity, let’s first delve into the context of Yeshua’s words and their connections in the Torah/Tanakh.

First, let’s zero in on the context. The very next verse, after the mention of the “evil eye” sheds light on its significance.

Matthew 6:23-24 explains, “But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

When Yeshua referred to the “bad eye,” He wasn’t alluding to poor eyesight or advocating for LASIK surgery! From the context, it’s evident that Yeshua was employing a Hebrew expression to address human greed. Each time He referred to the eye, He addressed the avarice issue. An “evil eye” signifies a greedy eye belonging to an individual driven by selfish desires.

Proverbs 28:22 corroborates this notion: “He that hastes to be rich hath an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.”
In stark contrast, Proverbs 22:9 presents an alternative: “He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.”

Deuteronomy 15:7-9 underscores the consequences of an “evil eye” within the context of assisting the impoverished, emphasizing the importance of generosity.

In essence, Yeshua employed the “evil eye” idiom to critique human greed. It serves as a poignant reminder that we should strive to be generous and not let selfishness dictate our actions. By delving into the original context and meanings, we can gain a profound understanding of these idioms and their enduring relevance in our lives today. Just as John learned from his rainy picnic experience, these idioms carry valuable lessons for us to uncover and apply in our daily journeys.

Short and Easy Method of Prayer – Madame Guyon – Audio Book

January 2, 2023 By Richard A. Volunteer

How should we pray? Should we sit, stand, or fall to our knees with our eyes close? Is there such thing as the proper way to pray? Madame Guyon’s prayer styles disturbed the conventional church of her time. After she wrote this book, she was imprisoned for seven years. But after her death in 1717, it was published worldwide. This work reminds us to be quiet and take our time with God, letting His word penetrate our hearts as we patiently wait on Him. This prayer style is known today as contemplative prayer—a kind of prayer that chooses no time and place to pray but advocates for being in a state of constant prayer throughout the day. This work can be read quickly, but it would be much better to savor it little by little as we discover how to rest in His presence all the days of our lives.

Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan – Audio Book

November 20, 2022 By Richard A. Volunteer

The Pilgrim’s Progress is a 1678 Christian allegory written by John Bunyan. It is one of the most significant works of theological fiction in English.
The entire book is presented as a dream sequence narrated by a narrator of the story. Christian, is the main character and the plot centers on his journey from his hometown, the “City of Destruction” (“this world”), to the “Celestial City” (“that which is to come”: Heaven). Christian is weighed down by a burden—the knowledge of his sin—which he believed came from his reading “the book in his hand” (the Bible). This burden, which would cause him to sink into Hell, is so unbearable that Christians must seek deliverance.

This is his journey…in Stages

Christ the Healer by FF Bosworth – Audio Book

November 20, 2022 By Richard A. Volunteer

Christ the Healer by FF Bosworth

God is gracious and compassionate. He wants to redeem us from our sins and bless us with healing, including our physical bodies. However, the topic of divine healing is controversial. That’s why it became a source of much confusion in the church. But what does the Bible say about healing? Bosworth emphasized that when Jesus atoned for our sins, he redeemed us from our diseases. God is not only able. He is also willing. However, is God’s healing for everyone? Bonar pointed out that it is indeed for everyone, but we also have to be willing to experience healing. Through this book, let’s re-examine our beliefs and understand our Divine Healer the way it should have been. And may His healing be upon us.
