The path to God is narrow and steep, few find it and fewer follow it.  The path of the world is broad and smooth and many dance and parade their way to hell.

The Time Has Passed June 11, 2025

If we don’t know

Jesus is the Son of God

who came into the world,

that His death

was the perfect sacrifice,

paying the penalty for all sin.

That His resurrection defeated death and the Devil.

That making Him Lord of our life,

and

believing God raised Him from the dead,

brings salvation.

God overlooks our ignorance.

But since

you’ve just read

what has gone before,

that time of ignorance

has passed.

In “The Time Has Passed” S5 / E 7 of I Took a Right Turn: We open with our usual jibber-jabber including of course the weather report and some prayer requests. Next, they sing some good old-time favorites: I Saw the Light, This Little Light of Mine, and This Train.  Then comes another of our homegrown songs: Jesus the Lord.  Opening our Bible s to II Thessalonians 2:1-3 we speak about the End Times, which is a subject of interest to many and a focus for whole ministries.  Robert then reads the poem “The Time Has Passed” from his Second book of Poetry, Floating Through Time.  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book. 

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com  All of Robert’s forty books are available in paperback and kindle through Amazon.  We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.

Walking in the world is going in circles, walking in the Spirit leads straight to God.

Being hot under the collar is like a noose around our neck, a gentle spirit is like a breath of fresh air.

The Key June 4, 2025

The key to understanding the universe,

is to realize:

it was created by a personal God

and not the unconscious action

of an impersonal force.

Because God created the universe

outside Himself

it’s not just an extension of His essence.

There is a real reality,

true history,

cause and effect,

and individuals

who can effectively respond to him.

Trying to find a universal meaning

in our own heads

is like walking in circles

in a house of mirrors

and thinking.

“I’m really going somewhere.”

From the Book Floating Through Time

Available from Amazon

In “That’s Your Job” S5 / E6 of I Took a Right Turn: The Podcast starts off talking about the challenges we all face as we follow God.  Following this comes a well-known song by Chris Tomlin: Amazing Love, then a few older songs: I Know Who Holds the Future, and He looked beyond my Faults and Saw My Need.  And of course, one of our homegrown songs: There’s a Reason.  Opening to II Peter 3:8-12 we listen as God speaks through the Apostle and lays out exactly what we are to do as servants of Christ.  Robert reads another poem “The Key” from his Second book of Poetry, Floating Through Time.  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

If we think we know it all we’ll miss it when God wants to teach us something new.
