Burning Man Revisited in 2022…
(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California)  Hope you’re having a wonderful sabbath day… The Burning Man festival is returning after a several year hiatus… It is observed in the late August, early September timeframe in the Northern Nevada area… I wrote the article below about 7 years ago, and it applies now just as much as we continue to draw ever closer for the need of our Savior to return before humanity self-destructs… As the old adage goes, “you play with fire, and eventually you will get burned.”… Sin, and the practice thereof is like playing with fire… Pushing the limits […]

Letters by Curtis Dahlgren & Steven Blackledge Letter from Curtis Dahlgren (July 30, 2022)Thanks for the reposting of another column. Hope you’re feeling better than last week. Letter from Steven Blackledge (July 30, 2022)I cannot remember if I had written you to give my condolences for the loss of your dog Bubbles… Losing pets is very difficult… Especially if you have had them for a while as you well know… Hope all went well for Darwin on his trip to bury Bubbles… It is interesting how God only allows for dogs to live on average a decade plus… Depending on […]

The Trumpet Blast’s That Will Eventually Usher in the Great Tribulation
Part 1(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California) It is the mystery of lawlessness, as it pertains to God’s definition of sin, which will lead to the worship of the beast as God… We must come to understand that our Savior is the Word of God, and that HE came in full flesh to die because the very Word HE represents was broken… Introducing sin into the world has been nothing more than a spiritual black plague upon humanity ever since the 1st Adam transgressed God’s command… This fallen state of being can only be overcome by the blood of the […]

Letters by Dixon Cartwright, Steven Blackledge, and Ray Daly Letter from Dixon Cartwright (July 9, 2022)Good morning, Laura and Darwin. Thanks for the online newsletter. You mention your critter visitors. This morning about 5 I saw a pretty big deer beyond our back fence on the neighboring property and then a good-sized dog galloping after it, chasing it into the woods. We also have two frequent visitors that are pretty red-looking foxes, one that is missing half a front-right leg from its elbow (or is that a knee?) down. No foot on that leg. But it still gets around okay. I notice […]

Letters by Steven Blackledge & Ray Daly Letter from Steven Blackledge (June 25, 2022)Continued prayers for you as I read your commentary this morning… The troubles we endure in this physical life will help us to grow spiritually… Something that will benefit us for an eternity… Just a matter of enduring to the end God has planned for us while we continue to in His Son, and through Him… We added 6 more to the sea of felines we have at the ranch… Only this time these kittens were born inside a closet… So they are going to be easy […]
God’s Prophetic Word is Good for the Soul
(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California) Â When Embraced As HE Intended Himself To Be…Hope you all are having a pleasant, and edifying sabbath… Tomorrow is the day many of us recognize Pentecost, and the amazing transformation that can transpire when one trusts, and relies upon the Holy Spirit promised to those who trust in, and repent through the Son of the Living God… I hope that we all continue to appreciate the love our Beloved Father has for us, and recognize the need for HIS SPIRIT to guide us through the maze of lies, and deception this fallen world has […]
A Message Concerning the Canaanite Spirit that will Lead to the Worship of the Beast or Man of Sin
(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California) Â I happened to come across a message given by Daniel Joseph on WorldNetDaily concerning Jude… More specifically, the passage that pertains to Cain, and how this spiritual state of being is leading many to a false sense of understanding where they actually stand with God due to embracing sin, and the practice thereof as being acceptable to God as long as they believe in Jesus… I have always believed that it was Cain’s spiritual state, and the lack of faith HE had in the WAY of GOD that was the core reason that this […]
God’s Most Excellent Way of Truth…
(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California) Â To Be Set Free by Applying HIS WAY through HIS SON…Â Hope your sabbath has been a refreshing, and joyous one so far… Hard to believe a week has come, and gone as the Passover season once again is but a memory… Hope yours was spiritually edifying… I wrote what was below yesterday to help those who are still under the impression that God’s holy days were no longer necessary to be maintained… It is so easy to gravitate towards beliefs that are contrary to God’s Word… We are all born with a rebellious spirit […]
Signs and Wonders or God’s Righteousness Being Exercised in Faith?
(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California) Â Ensuring that our faith is not shaken during these precarious times we are living in is based on our reliance upon the Spirit of God as individual believers… Understanding our relationship with our Father in heaven through our Lord Jesus Christ is priority as HE WHO is not seen is as far greater stronghold than anyone, and thing of the creation… As scripture reminds us, we should not be moved as we experience what our Savior declared would be “the beginning of sorrows.”… God is love, and WHO HE is must be our strength, […]
