GO YONDER

Gen 22: 5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and  and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

 

WHERE IS YONDER?

ITS AN UNFAMILIAR PLACE. IT'S A PLACE AWAY FROM THAT WHICH IS USUAL.  A PLACE OF WORSHIP, A DEATH (THE FIRST MENTION OF WORSHIP)   WE HAVE TO GO THERE. IT TAKES FAITH TO GO THERE. FAITH CAN TAKE YOU PLACES BUT ITS PLACES THAT YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH BECAUSE MEDIOCRITY WON'T GET YOU THERE, ONLY FAITH.

                                           WATER BAPTISM: IT’S NOT AN OPTION

Matt 7:21-29 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:

 

AESOP’S FABLE

 In her relatively brief existence America has benefited the world with her wealth as no other people that came before her.  Now many nations which have gratefully received her aid would repeat the folly of the couple from Aesop’s fable and “gut the Goose to get the gold.”  Worse still, some under the very cover of her wings, by likewise taking all and returning nothing, would effectively compromise her health for a bigger share of the egg. 

 And, if this were not enough to be concerned with, we also have among us those of righteous but deluded intent, who, in the name of “egg for everybody” would “fundamentally change” the Goose.  Apparently, these do not understand that if we change the Goose, we change the egg, or, worse yet, she may just stop laying altogether, in which case there will be a lot of goslings to feed without the gold the Goose provides.

 There are those that come from places near and far just to get a share of the golden egg, all the while demanding that our Goose alter her life to resemble the Goose they left behind.  If the Goose we left behind could lay the egg we want, what are we doing here?  Can we not understand that it is the Goose as she was that produced what we have been enjoying?  Rather than changing her to “the way we did it back home,” why not just go back home?

 But then there are those of religious persuasion who fully understand that to gut the Goose is to forfeit the egg.  Neither does their pretentious ambition to provide egg for everybody hold any hint of reality.  These would control what goes into the gut of the Goose and pen her for “higher” purposes.  Having been from a hatchling on a regular diet of Bible Christianity and enjoying the free-range liberty that accompanies its practice until about mid twentieth century, the Goose faithfully laid its daily egg of ever-increasing size.  Since then, her diet has been gradually changed to become a mixed feed of innocuous Churchianity, religious tradition and pure paganism.  And, wouldn’t you know the unexpected but very real result?  The Goose is growing too weak to leave the pen.  And, when on occasion she does lay, the egg we are all after is of lesser quality and is much smaller, for not only is the Goose what she eats, but so also is her egg.   

 Conclusion?  The same as the moral of Aesop’s famed fable: By none of these means or any other “gut the Goose” or for any reason “change the Goose” lest you be without any gold at all.

FREEDOM

JULY 5, 2026

 Yesterday we celebrated 250 years of American Independence: July 4, 1776 – July 4 2026.  Thank God for our natural forefathers: for their winning and bequeathing to us our national civil liberties.

 Every day of every year for 2,000 plus years we Christians have celebrated our freedom from the Law of Sin and Death [Rom 8:1-2 below].  Thank God for the Lord Jesus Christ and His winning and bequeathing to us our universal spiritual liberties

 

The Challenge to Concentrate

Bobby Gums   05.22.2026

 

In a funny sort of way, the Lord brought two words to my attention, just before I awoke, on the morning of February 13, 2026. The words were ‘concentrate’ and ‘challenge’. So I prayed and began to study to see where The Spirit

 

The Struggle Is Real

Bobby Gums   05.01.2026

 

Ever wonder why you struggle with the same old ‘fleshly attitude(s)’? Talking about behaviors or mindsets that are characterized by sin and opposition to God's will (Bible Hub). Things that are not synonymous with that good, acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Rom 12:2). Or are you no longer plagued by such torments of the flesh? If not, praise God! However, for some of us

 This day has nothing to do with bunnies or with eggs.

Today is a day to reflect on the greatest love story of all time.

A love story that involves each and every one of us, whether we realize it or not.

Today is the day that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We may think we “know”, but do we really?

This day has never meant more to me than it does right now.
I thought I knew, but I never really understood the “why”.

It all began in Genesis

For over a decade, many of you have followed my journey outta the back of my vehicle—from the early days of GypSea JunkShop in 2012 to the transition into Ecliptic Rambler years later. We’ve crossed roughly 30 states together, and I'm so very grateful for all of the support you’ve shown my art.

 

As many of you know, I’ve always been
