The Temptations of Reid Baer
By Reid Baer
Beyond each temptation of mine
I see a person in kind – a
branch of the tree – a member of
the congregation I killed off
believing this one a certain
hindrance and that one an evil
influence unworthy of my
grand presence – the good on this side
of the bad – away from pieces
I excluded from my life – those
dangerous exaggerations
I eschewed as part of my strife –
I accused them – I attacked them –
I damned them to their dreaded place –
there because they were black and I
was white shining brightly in the
eastern sun light – but then again
at night I hear them – their voices
at the back of the wall – gathered
together to just torment me
sometimes even while I’m awake –
but mostly when I’m asleep - left
defenseless forced to listen to
the monsters – my monsters – these my
kindred monsters and their ghastly
unquiet noises - a chorus
of strident thoughts rustling about
inside my crazy mind and I
find myself ruing the day I
left them all abandoned behind

A man walking from Texas to his hometown in Washington state has had a cross to bear for months. James Strickland says he's been dragging a 12-foot cross from Longview, Texas, to his Aberdeen home since May.
The 39-year-old says he was praying about his troubled past when he received a message to start walking on a journey of renewal. He took along the cross, which rolls on wheels with his belongings tied near the bottom.
He expects to reach home Tuesday or Wednesday. Strickland says the trek has taken him through Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah and Idaho.
He says he hopes to reconcile with the mother of his two children.
Aberdeen police Capt. John Green told KXRO-AM that Strickland also has several misdemeanor warrants to clear up...A man walking from Texas to his hometown in Washington state has had a cross to bear... more

Mark 16:15 John 1-5 Ephesians 1: 3-4 & 1: 9-10
(Valparaiso, Indiana) - Rev. Dr. George Cairns of Chesterton, Indiana delivers a Sunday homily about “the major evils of today – genocide and ecocide” entitled “Repent or the Time is Near” on May 31, 2009 at the Union Community Church in Valparaiso, Indiana.
In this two part homily video series, Rev. Cairns discusses the “Cosmic Christ” and a related story in “The Lutheran” magazine by Elaine Siemsen, the United Nations definition of genocide, the loss of language and other heritages in Indigenous peoples like the American Indian, Ecocide, the acclaimed ABC News Special “Earth 2100” and how many experts believes the Earth and its inhabitants are facing the “the Sixth Great Extinction” of the world.
Cairns talks about the results of the American Museum of Natural History national survey on Ecocide that “reveals a biodiversity crisis” and is entitled “Scientific Experts Believe we are in the Midst of Fastest Mass Extinction in Earth's History: Crisis Poses Major Threat to Human Survival; Public Unaware of Danger”
With the statute of limitations up, Rev. Cairns confesses his childhood antics to prevent a highway construction project from ruining the woods in which he played - now an interstate freeway has “vaporized” those woods that meant so much to him while growing up.
The other homilies on Celtic Christianity take a look at several topics including the European roots of the Celts (primarily Scotland and Ireland) and how Earth-based cultures can impact the future of civilization including actively protecting the environment, respecting fellow humans, different cultures and nature.
Cairns works closely with Rev. Gregory Jones on several social fronts.
Rev. Jones is the pastor of the Union Community Church and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Theology at Valparaiso University.
Founded in 2007, The non-profit Turtle Island Project is known for its ongoing work with Native American issues and the other wing involves other Earth-based religions like the Celts. Dr. Cairns is the co-founder of the nonprofit Turtle Island Project.
Rev. Cairns continues to work closely with the foremost Celtic group in the world, the Iona Community in Scotland.

Yahweh says, "A warning for the people to cease from every meddler. The religious leaders beg for harvest of money doing their own Will. All you sluggards do not plow but are very harum-scarum, reasoning the truth. People proclaiming to be good or having a good heart this comes from your own prospectives. Even saying you have faith yet you show nil faith and receive nil. Praying idle, getting no ans but claing to have received one. Those who have true faith find Me. They are just and walk the way of integrity. their children and blessed to have a place in My Kingdom. The parents set their throne in righteousness, they have judged and scattered away from all evil. They truely can say "my heart is cleansed and pure it is free from sin." A mystery to you that participate in communion, It is not wise that you eat and drink deception. The wine or grape juice which symbolizes the blood of the sacrifice and the cracker,wafer or bread that symbolizes the broken body. This should bring you to fear for not knowing the true meaning which you permit damnation to your own soul. Now divide from them that contradict their walk claiming to be righteous but living unrighteous, weigh, measure, think and abolish all unrighteousness. Hear ears and see eyes do not love spiritual sleep. Read, discern, complete My Ordinances and overcome then you shall no longer be poor. Open your heart and mind, you shall be satisfied with My Bread. naught you have to buy but study to learn, hold on , stay in the way of the righteous, let your lips keep My knowledge which is precious to your soul. Take this garment that I have prepared for you it pledge surety to your soul. The stranger brings deceit and makes it sweet while gravitating to their own purposes. Be established by My counsel and advice. The secret revealed it is obsecured and cursed, put away darkness lte intellect govern hastily this is the beginning of My fir. Recompense not to evil, wake and weigh because balderdash is not good but a snare to devour the Holy. Accept the vow to make enquire. The wise spirit search the truth, preserve and uphold mercy, glory is their strength. Cleanse away your stripes through My gift and have repented, IHS."Yahweh says, "A warning for the people to cease from every meddler. The religious... more

Yahweh says, "There I see evil as I watch under the sun amongst you whom I have given riches, wealth and honor so that you would not want for anything. The soul is full of all that is not desired yet you are too proud, too busy or not ready to eat thereof My Bread so that you would know Me. But in comes the uncircumcised stranger who eats thoughtlessly, giving to you vain condemnable Bread and that you eat without a thought of the villious disease which keeps you in bondage, you laugh and smile while your souls is pulled closer to Hell. Think not more of a religious leader nor of those people who live to be a hundred or more in years. Untimely you come in with vain thoughts and never depart from darkness. Moot not, all are not light, know not the way, have not peace or rest. The soul is vexed and burden as your spirit is not filled with the Holy Ghost to whom I send unto My people but filled with your own thoughts which make an artificial copy in your imaginations while you speak My Words and pretend with your untrue actions which leaves a blank reaction that sends questions to the mind of the poor who seek for true answers. A mystery:Though all live on Earth and double in age all have not gained My wisdom. Just because you leave Earth and return to the dust you all do not come to Heaven. Likewise neither do the nice people whom you think have a good heart their soul also has a destination which may not be Heaven. All the labor of the people, from the people, given by the people are for their own personal reasons it is not from above. Discern for yourself the results. Their works leave the appetite still empty. The wise know more than the unwise for they are not spiritually poor, they know how to walk because they are of the living and have true fellowship with Me. The unwise are poor, their Word is contradictary because they lack My knowledge keeping the knowledge of the world and they are of the dead yet they walk amongst you here on the Earth until death then the carcass return to clay but the soul goes to their home whether Heaven or Hell. Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire which seeks vexation to the spirit, bruising the soul. Mightier are those that increase in My knowledge now receive My remnant, arise out of the dead and live for in death you choose no more.Yahweh says, "There I see evil as I watch under the sun amongst you whom I have... more

Why stand afar hiding in the times of trouble? The wicked pride does persecute the poor let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. The wicked boast of the desires of their heart that abhorent and lessen the covenant. Wicked through the pride of their countenance, seeking not the Will of God or His thoughts. Their ways are grievous, their judgments far above the truth. They say "I shall not be moved never by the adversary." Their mouth full of cursing, deceit and fraud. Mischief and vanity sit in the congregations lurking secretly, misleading the poor in the Word. They lie in wait to catch then draw into the net. They crouch humbly the fall. They say,"God has not gotten paise the Lord", "Arise Lord forget not your children Father" Do you contemn God you that say repented,IHS or repentance is not required with IHS?Why is there no need to name your sins cause God knows them and you can not remember all of them? God knows not you or your sins because you are not light. So now you change repentance to just sayng, "forgive our sins?" Admitting sin one to another instead of in prayer to God? Think you have received forgiveness? Behelding a mischievous spirit to requite with your soul. The poor commit their soul, helpers of the faithless. Break out of the arms of the wicked, seek out righteousness, find Yahweh for the heathen perish out of His land. Yahweh has heard now you desire humbly, receive repented, IHS, prepare your heart, cause your ear to hear and judge the teaching that Earth may no longer oppress you.

John12:49 For I have not spoken of Myself but of My Father who has sent Me. He gave Me a commandment of what I should say and what I should speak.
2Corithians4:18 Look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen for the things which are seen are temporal but the things which are not seen are eternal, walk by faith not by sight.
1Corithians14:33 For God is not the author of confusion.
Hosea11:9 I am God and not human.
Numbers23:19 God is not human, He does not lie nor is He Son of human beings that He should change His mind.
John1:18 No one has seen God at anytime the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of His Father has declared Him.
John8:54-55 Jesus answered, If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing it is My Father's honor of whom you say that He is God yet you have not known Him but I know Him. If I should say I know Him not I shall be a liar like you but I know Him and keep His commandments.
John7:16-18 And He said, My doctrine is not Mine but His that sent Me. If any person will do His Will they shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speak of Myself. Whosoever that speaks of themselves seeks thier own glory but they that seek His glory that sent them no unrighteousness is in them.
Romans1:21-25 Because that when they knew God they glorified Him not as God neither were thankful but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools and changed the glory of the uncorriptible God. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lust of their own heart, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves, who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator who is forever. Amen.
Romans1:26-32 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affliction for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature and likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burning in their lust one toward another men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was met. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, who knowing the judgment of God that they which commit and not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them are worthy of death.
Acts4:18-19 But those things which God before had showed by the mouth of all His prophets that Christ should suffer He has fulfilled. Repent you therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come.
Note: In order for conversion to take place you must pray to God Almighty, name your sins in the Name of His Son, Jesus Christ and then be baptized in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost so that your sins are washed away and you receive God's gift which ensures you that you are of God.
John4:23 But the hour comes and now is when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth for the Father seeks such to worship Him.

Because of human transgressions and iniquity God Almighty left His people(read Romans1:21-32) because of darkness which is unrighteousness. In these endtimes He has returned unto His people in hope that they will now turn away from darkness(unrighteousness) and follow in His ways which is light(righteousness) but before anyone can do it there are steps which they must follow to come to the light(righteousness)but before anyone can do it there are steps which they must follow to come to the light. To be truly righteous is to be cleansed of all unrighteousness, name your sins in prayer to God in the Name of His Son,Jesus Christ for forgiveness then be baptized (in the Father,the Son and the Holy Ghost) so that you are cleansed of those transgressions and iniquities. Continue in the ways of God Almighty, learn Him, sow seed( sow=read+seed=the Word of God) and then you shall know the mysteries.
To walk in the light is to live in fellowship with the Father and the Son: sin interrupts fellowship and your confession restores fellowship. Fellowship is with the Father and the Son. This is the message which we have heard of Him and declare unto you that God Almighty is light and in Him is no darkness.
