Recently I awoke to these words ringing in my right ear,
“The Call of Jesus Christ is the most powerful!”
Oh my goodness; I sat straight up in bed! Continue reading

Today’s Nugget | Mary’s Song
46Mary responded,
“Oh, how my soul praises the
Lord.
47 How my spirit rejoices in
God my Savior!
48 For he took notice of his lowly
servant girl,
and from now on all
generations will call me
blessed.
49 For the Mighty One is holy,
and he has done great things
for me.
50 He shows mercy from
generation to generation
to all who fear him.
51 His mighty arm has done
tremendous things!
He has scattered the proud
and haughty ones.
52 He has brought down princes
from their thrones
and exalted the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with
good things
and sent the rich away with
empty hands.
54 He has helped his servant Israel
and remembered to be
merciful.
55 For he made his promise to
our ancestors,
to Abraham and his children
forever.”
56Mary stayed with Elizabeth
about three months and then
went back to her own home.
~ Luke 1: 46-56 NLT
Christmas Lights | 2019
Our Christmas lights are up, but they just don’t seem to be shining as brightly as before. It’s me – I know. I rose early thinking if I caught the sunrise it would perk me up as it usually does, but … Continue reading
Importantstuff | The Anthropic Principle
According to The Anthropic Principle, the universe appears to be designed for mankind. It is designed and fine-tuned so that if anything changes, it all falls apart.
WOW! The anthropic principle and the structure of the physical world was an amazing Harvard paper published in 1979 that sparked continuing debate on whether The Anthropic Principle proves God’s existence.
There are four cosmic forces (at least) at work in our universe.
- Gravity
- Electromagnetic
- Strong Nuclear Force
- Weak Nuclear Force
I am not pretending that I understand this scientific stuff, but you can research how The Anthropic Principle collides with the Copernican Principle and Plank’s Constant at the link. Basically, it can be argued that any slight change in one of these forces and our universe would disintegrate. That means that at the atomic and sub-atomic levels life as we know it is impossible – if minute tolerances are not maintained.
Maintained how? Is this all random? Praise God Almighty, IT’S NOT! I don’t know about you, but it’s a great comfort to believe “He’s got the whole world in His hands”.
So there it is; The Anthropic Principle. If you are still reading this, please know that God not only created the universe, but He holds it together for US – very importantstuff; another big reason to trust Almighty God for our very existence.
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 4“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me if you have understanding…
31Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the belt of Orion? 32Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs? 33Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?” ~ Job 38:1, 4, 6, 31-33 NKJV
Praise
Thank You, LORD! I trust Your power to not only create our universe but to also hold it together for our benefit and Your Glory.
Hey! Your thoughts are welcome in the comments.
Many thanks for following Importantstuff.Live.

Vain Philosophies | A Reprobate Mind
” We’re at a point where our theology is now being based on our philosophy instead of being based upon the scripture(s).” ~ John Paul Jackson
This video pretty much nails it for what I see happening in America today. As individuals and as a nation, we need to listen to God’s warning about holding truth in unrighteousness. To me that means calling good bad and bad good even when you know the difference. It also means those who accept such lawlessness are just as guilty in God’s sight as those who have turned away from God.
Being influenced by vain philosophies instead of God’s Word therefore leads to what God Himself calls a reprobate mind in verse 28 of this passage of scripture. We currently see a hate culture effect in our country instead of a love-thy-neighbor culture which Jesus commanded us to embrace.
There is hope in repentance, however. As we wind up the year 2019, let’s pray for each other to come out of darkness with all of its false teachings.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we repent of our back-slidden ways and vain philosophies of man that have absolutely no validity by Your written Word. LORD do not let us continue on our path of destructive hate and lawlessness that divides and dooms us to a reprobate mind. We give You glory and thank you for Your Holy Spirit that guides, comforts, and corrects. We believe and receive your Truth, the Everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ into our hearts and minds. Amen!
