That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:12 & 13
Occasionally I will sit down to talk with my parents as we watch my son play in the house and one of them will look at me and ask, “do you remember…?” Usually, those words are followed by a description of something that I may have done many years ago similar to what my son is doing now. Other times it is a description of someone we used to know.
Sometimes I cannot help but laugh because their comments cause me to remember things from years ago. I remember playing with my toy cars the same way my son is now. I remember someone from back in my youth that perhaps is much older and frail. Sometimes they even share the news that those people may have left this world in death. Each time, it brings back memories from a point in my life long before where I am today.
In his writing, Paul asks the people those same words, “do you remember…?” Paul starts reminding the people of what they used to be. He reminds them that they were Gentiles, separated from God, strangers from God’s promises, without Christ, and without hope. I wonder what those people thought as they read those words?

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
