A Credible Resurrection Requires Credible Witnesses
(The resurrection on Easter Sunday, the last of the Ten days of Passion Week)  All over the world, people today are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. It’s an interesting phenomenon because most rational people know that it is impossible to raise anyone from the dead, right? And yet, believers everywhere accept by faith that the resurrection actually occurred. Why? Is there a reason why…

“Is Christianity Worth It?” By Rick Warren:
“The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:19, “If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we [Christians] deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world” (GNT).
Why does Paul say this? For one thing, it isn’t easy to live for Christ in a world that doesn’t like Christ.
So here’s one of the most important questions you can ever answer: Is Christianity worth it?
Everything in life has a price tag. Anytime you say yes to something, you’re saying no to something else. Is the prize worth the price of following Christ?
In Matthew 16:26 Jesus says, “What profit is there if you gain the whole world—and lose eternal life? What can be compared with the value of eternal life?” (TLB).
Some people trade their souls for worldly things—like money, fame, and materialism. Your soul is worth so much more.
Paul realized this. When Paul shares his testimony in Philippians 3:7-8, he says, “I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ” (NLT).
Paul realized nothing—no status, no amount of money, no pleasure—is worth more than Jesus.
We need a new definition of success. Real, meaningful success isn’t based on what you have, your appearance, or feeling good. Real success comes from living your life by God’s values. And it comes with the ultimate reward of enjoying eternity in heaven.”
Talk It Over:
• Why do you think so many people chase after money, fame, and pleasure?
• What things, other than Christ, are you tempted to chase after?
• Why do you think Christianity is worth it?”

Isaiah 10: Discipline Versus Destruction
What lay ahead would be a devastating ordeal, yet God did not want God’s people to be afraid, for their crucible would soon pass, and those who harmed them would receive just judgment from God. #Isaiah10 #FinalJudgment #GreatWhiteThrone
Discipline Versus Destruction What lay ahead would be a devastating ordeal, yet God did not want God’s people to be afraid, for their crucible would soon pass, and those who harmed them would receive just judgment from God. Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O my people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they beat you with a rod and lift up their staff against you…

"YOU'RE THERE FOR A REASON"
Esther 4:12-14, “When Hathach told Mordecai what Esther had said, Mordecai sent her this message: “Don’t think that just because you live in the king’s house you’re the one Jew who will get out of this alive. If you persist in staying silent at a time like this, help and deliverance will arrive for the Jews from someplace else; but you and your family will be wiped out. Who knows? Maybe you were…

Four Descriptors of the Man or Woman of God
I have two objectives with this post. To be biblical To not be overly complicated. What are the best descriptors of someone who walks with God?  It would hard to do better than the description of Job given three times in the early chapters of the book of Job. Let’s try them on. “There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job;and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning…

Eternal Assurance: Trusting in Christ Alone
Back in the early 90’s I faced a crisis as I held to a works-based salvation and constantly lived in fear of my eternal destiny. I had no assurance of my salvation because I never knew if I’d performed enough good works to validate my salvation. It was a terrible place to be. The solution came when I began to study the Scriptures carefully, stopped looking at myself, and fixed my “eyes on Jesus,…

Church notes - 9th April 2023
9th Easter Sunday John 17:1 - 5 1 Corinthians 15:1 - 22
Nehemiah 8:10 - 12
No matter how bad this life is, we have Eternal Life because of the Resurrection.
vs 17 Our faith is futile if the Resurrection didn't take place. It would be meaningless and fruitless.
But Christ has Risen! That is a most precious thing. It is a life giving and life changing faith.
If He wasn't raised, we're still in our sins.
Sin is real and can't be denied.
Christ has been raised. Therefore sin has been dealt with.
vs 18 If He hadn't been raised, there is no hope. If He has been Raised, those who have fallen asleep in Christ are Saved.
vs 19 If He has been Raised we have an obligation to spread the Gospel.
vs 20

Importance May not be what You think: The Important Man Who Discovered Something More Important
A funny thing regarding importance happened to a man of importance on the Way to Damascus. In his own words… “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that he appeared to…

Blessed Are the Forgiven
A Maskil of David.
1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6 Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. 7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.
10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. 11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! — Psalm 32 | English Standard Version (ESV) The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

Can you make list of comics where the Corinthian appears?
anon I have heard your call. my people need me.
A List of (Pretty Much) Every Corinthian Comic:
This will include only the issue numbers of comics he’s prominent in, so this is by no means a list of every single time he’s been on the page of a dc comic. If you want a list/pictures of the mini cameos let me know I am absolutely filled with corinthian autism
the original Sandman/core comics (1981): 10, 11, 12, 14, 44, 57, 60, 61, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69
The Dreaming (1996): 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 42, 43, 52, 53, 54, 59, 60
Side note: see now i have my complaints about this spinoff but that’s a completely different conversation. If there’s one message i will die by it’s that Souvenirs (issues 17-19) is a MASTERWORK but everything else is SHIT so i wouldn’t bother unless you’re ready for a good ol’ "what the fuck"
The Sandman Presents: The Corinthian (aka Death in Venice) (2001): 1, 2, 3
The Sandman: Overture (2013): 1
House of Whispers (2018): 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 19
Locke and Key/The Sandman: Hell and Gone (2020): 1, 2
Nightmare Country (2023): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Nightmare Country: The Glass House (2023): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
if i missed anything please for the love of god tell me i am so starved for content of my creature

Held Captive By Our Own Ignorance (228) - January 13 2024
Play on other Podcast Apps This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth which is the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God.…

Sandman Easter Eggs
Real Easter Eggs in The Sandman Netflix series that have been noticed so far:
Warning there are spoilers in this list.
1.  The Key to Hell (a major plot point in The Sandman: Season of Mists) is a sigil in the binding circle that holds Morpheus.
2.    Gregory dying and little Goldie hatching may be foreshadowing for a certain comic storyline.
3.     The little flowers that sprouted up when Gregory was uncreated are very similar to the red flowers that formed from the dripping blood on Morpheus's hands when he had to euthanize his son in The Sandman: Brief Lives.
4.  (This was in the comics).  Judy's ex is Donna AKA Foxglove, a major character in The Sandman: A game of you.
5.  Gault's name might be an attempt to merge Brute and Glob's names together. The characters she replaced.   Obviously they wouldn't use Groot.
6.    The name of John Constantine's punk band is on a poster in episode 3. 7.   The mad Mod witch is also on a poster in episode 3.
8.   Mike Dringenberg is an artist for The Sandman comics.   You will see a sign behind the Corinthian when he talks to Nimrod, The Good Doctor, and Funland.  The sign reads "Mike's Drinks and Burgers."
9.    The carvings on the gates of horn tell the story of Morpheus and Alianora and how he got his helm.  They are exact replicas of the panels from The Sandman: Overture. There are two sets of gates in the Realm of Dreams (The gates were originally referenced in Homer's The Odyssey).  One set of gates made of horn, and one set of gates made of ivory.  The dreams that pass through the gates made of ivory are false and deceptive.  The dreams that pass through the gates made of horn are true, whether literally or metaphorically.  Morpheus prefers to use the horned gates so the ones you see him push open are the ones made of horn.
10.    When Morpheus leaves The Corinthian in the first episode he is fully clothed.  When he is summoned his clothing are gone and his helm is beaten up.  This is because the events of The Sandman: Overture have happened in what was for us just a few seconds.
11.   This is more trivia than anything.  Squatterbloat is now being used for his original purpose of gatekeeper and guide.  The guide in the comics was the rhyming demon, Etrigan.   Rhyming is a sign of status among some demons and they do it with pride.
12.   The episode Imperfect Hosts is pun on the fact that Cain, Abel, Lucien (now Lucienne), Destiny, Even (who hasn't appeared in the show yet), Mad Mod Witch (who hasn't appeared in the show), and The Three Witches (Hecate, Fates, Furies) were all old horror hosts.  They hosted the DC Horror anthology comics similar to Tales from the Crypt.  Cain hosted The House of Mystery.  Abel hosted The House of Secrets.  Lucien hosted Tales of Ghost Castle. The Three Witches hosted The Witching Hour.  This pun existed in the comics as well. 13.  After Abel's second murder in the episode Imperfect Hosts, you will see Cain snag a cookie (biscuit).  This is a nod to the old House of Mystery comics where Cain had a sweet tooth.  In one issue Karen Berger (founder of Vertigo and the one who took a chance on the original Sandman comics) bribed Cain with cookies.
14.  Lyta is originally from a defunct continuity where she was Wonder Woman's daughter.  Her name was short for Hippolyta, named after Wonder Woman's mother.
15.   Jed was a character from the 1976 Sandman comics and now (in his dreams) wears the costume of that hero as a little call back to his origin.  Hector Hall served as that hero for a time but that was left out of the TV show.
16.   Hector is from a semi-defunct continuity where he was the grandson of Carter Hall (Hawkman).   Hector and Lyta have been used repeatedly in DC comics and in their most recent appearances in JSA (2008) they died and their souls were taken into The Dreaming by their son, Daniel.  This was Hector's second death because...  comic books.  He was revived after Sandman and then killed again.
17.   Jed has twelve inch action figures of both Wonder Woman and Batman.
18.   Morpheus's capture is in 1916 to overlap with the real world sleeping sickness that happened around that time.
19.   Death being given an apple by a friendly fruit vender is from the comic Death: The High cost of Living.
20.   Though not shown in the episode, the hunger Hob describes feeling but not being able to die from it- Morpheus experienced that in his captivity.  In the comics the first thing he did when he escaped was eat, before even conjuring clothing. He raided a dream buffet. 21.   The sigils in each Endless Gallery are supposed to be in age order.  A book (Destiny), an Ankh (Death), the helm (Dream), a blank space (formerly a sword for Destruction), A heart (Desire), a hooked ring (Despair), and a swirl of color for Delirium.   An illustration mistake put Death's ankh first in some of the early comics depicting Desire's gallery.  That mistake was deliberately inserted into the TV series as a homage to the original comics. 22.  Matthew The Raven was Matthew Cable (a character from Swamp Thing) when he was alive.  If you would like a version of his backstory, watch the canceled 2019 Swamp Thing Series.  Very different actor but that was the same character (originally).  When they found out Swamp Thing would not get a second season they tacked on a scene of Matthew being killed just in case The Sandman got adapted since Matthew the raven was made from Matthew’s ghost.      23.  Ric the Vic was an ally of John Constantine's in the comics. 24.    The Boogey Man and Family Man (mentioned by the serial killers) were villains from DC comics.    Family Man was actually the killer of John Constantine's father.   Both Family Man and Boogey Man died.  One in Swamp Thing, one in Hellblazer (John Constantine's comics).   25.   John Dee is the old Justice League villain, Doctor Destiny. It was probably wise not to use his alias as it would confuse new fans with Destiny of The Endless. 26.  Pandemonium (meaning "All the Demons”) is the capital city of Hell in John Milton's Paradise Lost. This is where the word comes from. In The Sandman Netflix series Pandemonium deliberately resembles The Vatican.  27.   Matthew comments on how cold Hell is.  Believe it or not the earliest depictions of Hell were of a very cold place because it was devoid of God's light, love, and warmth.   It was medieval art that popularized the idea of Hell being hot.   28.  The Wonder Woman 1984 movie borrows Morpheus's Dreamstone and reinvents it as a plot device with a different design. The actor who plays Abel is also in Wonder Woman 1984 as the man who wished for a cup of coffee.  I choose to pretend it was Abel in disguise.  29.   Many actors in The Sandman bonus episode Dream of a Thousand Cats and Calliope were in The Sandman Audio drama.   David Tennant (Loki in the audio drama), Michael Sheen (Lucifer), Arthur Darvill (Shakespeare), James McAvoy (Morpheus), and Neil Gaiman.
30.   Arthur Darvill has played three DC characters so far.  Shakespeare (Sandman audio drama), Richard Madoc (Sandman Netflix series), and Rip Hunter (Legends of Tomorrow).
31.   Mark Hamill has played The Joker (Batman animated series, animated movies and video games), Trickster (The Flash 1990s series and Justice League: Action), and Swamp Thing (Justice League Action) and now Mervyn Pumpkinhead (Sandman).    Mark Hamill has also voiced Marvel characters like Hobgoblin (90s Spiderman animated series), and ironically he was Nightmare in Ultimate Spiderman (Animated series). Nightmare (ruler of the Dream Dimension) is pretty much Marvel’s equivalent of Dream if he had never had his “time out” bubble.   Though Nightmare was created first he went under drastic revisions to make him more and more like Dream.  In fact in the 2019 Deadpool: Annual 1, when Deadpool landed in Nightmare’s throne room he quips “Is Neil Gaiman going to sue us for this?” Bonus:   32.  Cain and his house of Mystery appeared in the animated series Justice League: Action for the episode Trick or threat. 33.  The grimoire used to summon and trap Morpheus was used in the Justice League: Action episode Supernatural adventures in Babysitting (though they used the wrong pronunciation.  It’s Mawd-lin Grimoire, not Magda-lin Grimoire) even though it’s spent Magdalene Grimoire. 34.    Death has an animated short called DC Showcase: Death. It is a bonus feature on the blu ray for the animated movie Wonder Woman: Bloodlines. 35.  Morpheus’s helm appears as an Easter Egg in a Smallvile tie-in comic. 36.  The storyline of the Lucifer TV show where Lucifer quits ruling Hell, goes to Earth, is followed by his loyal demon, Mazikeen, opens Lux, and takes up piano and singing is from The Sandman: Season of Mists.   37.  The plot of Dead Boy Detectives is also from The Sandman: Season of Mists.
