 Saint Valentine’s Day  February 14th 2026

 by John-Michael Riley

 

The King was clear, “No marriages here!

… Cause single men, they have no fear.”

                

They have no  worry, no debts to pay,                                                                                            

They love to fight,  most every day.

 

No married partner by his side,

No wife, no kids, no gorgeous bride.

 

But God’s dear Word hath  set the  tone:

“It’s Not so good, that man’s alone.”

 

It isn’t right! Don’t stand between us!

“Marry Then!”  said Valentinus.

 

By the scores he helped them wed.

In Holy bliss they always said.

 

Valentinus was arrested,

By his loved one he was tested.

 

She was blind and could not hear.

His prayer to God, God did hold dear.

 

Smitten by her love and  charms;

He Saved the Jailer from all harms.

 

The Jailer heard the Savior’s call;

Forever saved him,  all-in-all.

 

When on the path to martyrdom,

He sent his sweet, “Be mine.”

 

He wrote his name and stated thus:           

“I am forever thine.”

From , Your  Valentine.

Does it matter whether the Traditional  abbreviation   

B.C./A.D. or the New Age  B.C.E./C.E. is used to describe Calendar years?

Yes, it does. Significantly!

 

B.C./A.D. are the traditional abbreviations that stand for “Before Christ” and “Anno Domani” [Year of our Lord] A.D. Does NOT mean “After Death” as many erroneously believe.

 

B.C.E./C.E is a New Age invention that stands for “Before Common Era” and “Common Era”. [An effort to eliminate the person of Jesus Christ, writing Him out of History,  by no mentioning of HIM, at all].

The Lord Jesus Christ [Messiah and Anointed King] was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Spirit and  born of a virgin girl named  Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem.   HE was crucified, and after three days, GOD  raised Him from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave. He is GOD’S Incarnate and Everlasting WORD [The WORD made flesh.]  The Church is the Body of Christ, His espoused Bride, for whom HE will come again.

 

The singular event of His birth divides and establishes all Human History as having been either Before or After His Birth.

The Indestructible Book   [GOD’s HOLY WORDS]

 

By Dr. David Brown

 

The 1769 Edition of The King James Bible is Divinely Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible, Providentially Preserved and Protected Words of GOD. They are God-Breathed and Eternal WORDS of Almighty GOD. GOD who calls Himself “I AM” is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally Infinitely and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune Three-in-One GOD.


“I and my Father are one”.  John 10:30

________________________________
 

1 John 5:7  Is the fundamental scriptural  doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons   (This verse has been repeatedly Changed in an attempt to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or it has been Removed entirely from all Modern Critical Text translations by apostates with the untenable goal of protecting and supporting False Doctrines that give rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching and Heresies.

 

Jesus proclaims in John 10:30:  
30 “I and my Father are one.” 


Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ is The WORD made Flesh (*The Anointed MESSIAH and KING) and HE and His Father are ONE.]          

7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the water [Life of the Father], and the blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son [Jesus Christ (The Anointed Messiah and King)].

 

GOD is “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and endures FOREVER, from Eternity Past through never-ending Eternity Future.

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics Continue to try to take   1 John 5:7   out of the Bible.     

 

By Dr. Phil Stringer

 

1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (The immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)

 

Daniel Webster [Writer of the Webster’s English Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?

 

His answer was,  “What would bother me would be to have a God so small that I could fully explain Him.”

The preaching, teaching and writings of Charles Spurgeon
are  saturated with God’s Word, the Bible.  His  publications continue to benefit readers with sermons and sound biblical teaching from one whose life was poured out like a drink offering to The Lord Jesus Christ,  to whom Charlie [Charles Spurgeon] was a fully devoted follower. His love of Jesus Christ manifested itself in an singular love for and a never-ceasing effort toward winning souls of the unsaved multitudes.  From one who became known as The Prince of Preachers he remained humble always proclaiming  Christ, and Him crucified.

 

His ministry continues to thrive today at London’s   Metropolitan Tabernacle
(Brief History)   a church begun in 1650 with a building erected by members of Charles Spurgeon’s 1861 congregation .

All attempts to weaken  the Bible by adding to, or taking away from the 1769 edition of the King James Version [KJV] AKA The Authorized Version AV of the Bible can never  prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His inspired, God Breathed, Spoken Word-by word] directly to the Prophets and Apostles,  inerrant, [without error] immutable [incapability of changing] and infallible [incapable of making mistakes or being wrong] The God Breathed [Spoken] WORDS are Eternally Protected and Preserved  from all counterfeit or variant readings, heresy, blasphemy, confusion , error, addition to, or subtraction from is given to GOD’s WORDS by GOD HIMSELF.

 

The Traditional Greek Text was first used  in the FIRST Church at Antioch and was later called  The Received Text [vis. Latin: Textus Receptus TR].  Over 6 Billion King James Bibles account for more sales world-wide than any other version or edition of the Holy Bible. More than all other Versions or Editions Combined.

All  Versions or Editions of Bibles that are NOT  translated from the Traditional  Text [AKA the Received Text (Latin:Textus Receptus) TR or The Byzantine Text]  contain variant  readings that diminish the person and works of Jesus Christ.

ANECDOTE 221 March 9th: GOD OUR DELIVERER.

 

If God does not deliver his servants at one time as well as another, he has not kept his promise. For a man of truth is always true, and a promise once given always stands. A promise cannot be broken now and then, and yet the honor of the person giving it be maintained by his keeping it at other times. The word of a true [honest] man stands always good: it is good now. This is logic, bitter logic, cold steel logic, logic which seems to cut right down your backbone and cleave [stick to] your chine [spine]. “He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him now.” Yet this hard logic can be turned to comfort. I told you a story the other day of the brother in Guy’s Hospital to whom the doctors said he must undergo an operation which was extremely dangerous. They gave him a week to consider whether he would submit to it. He was troubled for his young wife and children, and for his work for the Lord. A friend left a bunch of flowers for him, with this verse as its motto, “He trusted in God; let him deliver him now.”

“Yes,” he thought, “;now.” In prayer he cast himself upon the Lord, and felt in his heart, “Come on, doctors, I am ready for you.” When the next morning came, he refused to take chloroform, for he desired to go to heaven in his senses [without being put to sleep with drugs] . He bore [had] the operation manfully, and he is yet alive. ________________________________________

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK March 9th PRAYER FOR PEACE

-And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace —Jeremiah 29:7

Y procurad la paz de la ciudad a la cual os hice traspasar, y rogad por ella a Jehova; porque en su paz tendreis vosotros paz.— Jeremías 29:7

 

The principle involved in this text would suggest to all of us who are the Lord’s strangers and foreigners that we should be desirous to promote the peace and prosperity of the people among whom we dwell. Specially should our nation and our city be blest by our constant intercession [of prayer]. An earnest prayer for your country and other countries is well becoming [beautiful]in the mouth of every believer. Eagerly let us pray for the great boon [blessing] of peace, both at home and abroad. If strife should cause bloodshed in our streets, or if foreign battle should slay our brave soldiers, we should all bewail [weep because of] the calamity; let us therefore pray for peace, and diligently promote those principles by which the classes [all types of people] at home and the races abroad may be bound together in bonds of amity [kindness and friendship].

We ourselves are promised quiet in connection with the peace of the nation, and this most desirable; for thus we can bring up our families in the fear of the Lord, and also preach the gospel without let [paying for license] or hindrance [opposition] .

Today let us be much in prayer for our country, confessing national sins, and asking for national pardon and blessing, for Jesus’ sake.

Prayer: Thank you, Father, that in praying for the peace of the city where we are, even if it is hostile we shall have peace thereby. Jeremiah 29:7 We [who trust in You and love Your law) have Great peace and nothing shall offend [take this peace from] us in Jesus’ name, Amen.

MORNING March 9th  "YEA [Yes], HE IS ALTOGETHER [Totally] LOVELY."— Song of Soloman 5:16

[Sí] todo él codiciable — Cantares 5:16

 

THE superlative [unsurpassed super] beauty of Jesus is all-attracting. It is not so much to be admired as to be loved; He is more than pleasant and fair, He is lovely. Surely the people of God can fully justify the use of this golden word, for He is the object of their warmest love, a love founded on the intrinsic [self-evident] excellence of His person, the complete perfection of His charms [holy attributes].

Look, O disciples of Jesus, to your Master's lips and say, "Are they not most sweet?" Do not His words cause your hearts to burn within you as He talks with you by the way? Worshipers of Immanuel [God with us], look up to His head of much fine gold, and tell me, are not His thoughts precious to you? Is not your adoration sweetened with affection as you humbly bow before that countenance [holy, glowing smile] which is as Lebanon, ex¬cellent as the [famous] cedars? Is there not a charm in His every feature, and is not His whole person so fragrant with such a savor [aroma] of His good ointments that the virgins love Him?

Is there one member of His glorious body that is not attractive? One portion of His person that is not a fresh loadstone [precious mother-load] to our souls? One office [structure] that is not a strong cord to bind your heart? Our love is not a seal set on His heart of love alone, it is fastened on [attached to] His arm of power also; nor is there a single part of Him on which it [our love] does not fix [consider and focus] itself. We anoint His whole person with the sweet spikenard [costly perfume] of our fervent love. His whole life we would [want to] imitate; His whole character we would duplicate. In all other beings we see some lack, in Him there is all perfection. The best of even His favored saints have had blots [spots and blemishes] upon their garments and wrinkles upon their brows; he is nothing but loveliness. All earthly suns have their spots: the fair world itself has its wilderness. We cannot love the whole of [everything about] the most lovely thing; but Christ Jesus is gold without alloy [added element]—light without darkness—glory without cloud.

"Yea, He is altogether lovely."

________________________________________

 

EVENING March 9th   "ABIDE IN ME. " —John 15:4

 

—Estad en mí—Juan 15:4

 

COMMUNION with Christ is a certain cure for every ill. Whether it be the wormwood of woe, or the cloying [stuffed] excess of earthly delight, close fellowship with the Lord Jesus will take bitterness from the one, and satiety [overeating and drinking] from the other.

Live near to Jesus, Christian, and it is a matter of secondary importance whether you live on the mountain of honor or in the valley of humiliation. Living near to Jesus, you are covered with the wings of God, and underneath you are in the everlasting arms. Let nothing keep you from that hallowed intercourse [fellowship], which is the choice privilege of a soul wedded to the well-beloved.

Do not be content with an interview now and then, but always seek to retain His company, for only in His presence have you either [both, and] comfort or safety.

 

Jesus should not be a friend who calls on us now and then, but one with whom we walk evermore [always]. You have a difficult road before you: 0 traveler to heaven, see that you do not go without your guide. You have to pass through the fiery furnace, do not enter it unless, like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you have the Son of God as your companion. You have to storm [attack] the Jericho of your own corruptions: do not attempt the warfare until, like Joshua, you have seen the Captain of the Lord’s host with His sword drawn in His hand.

You are to meet the Esau of your many temptations: meet him not [don’t meet him] until you have laid hold on the angel and prevailed at Jabbok’s brook [where Jacob wrestled with God refusing to let go until he procured the blessing] . In every case, in every condition, you will need Jesus. But most of all, when the iron gates of death shall open to you, keep close to your soul’s Husband and lean your head upon His bosom [heart]. Ask to be refreshed with the spiced wine of His pomegranate, and you will be found of Him at the last, without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing.

Seeing you have lived with Him, and lived in Him here, you will abide with Him forever.

A person may come to Jesus by  believing and (whole heartedly) praying like this:

 

 “Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless without You.  I will never be able to save myself by my own merits. Without you and your death on the cross I would deserve and spend forever in Hell.

I know that me doing my best or being good (in my own opinion)  and justifying my own behavior as "good"  or "OK" will never  save me.
I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me. 
I come to You   right now.  Lord Jesus.   Please save me.  I believe You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin debt and put to death my sin nature. I know  You always keep your word.  Please save me. You say and  it’s written in the Bible that you won’t reject anyone who comes to You. I'm coming  to You now. Thank You for saving me.
I  give myself (all of myself) to You, Lord Jesus. I declare that You are my Savior and Lord. I’m sorry for and I turn away from  every sin (every bad thought, every bad word I have spoken and every bad thing I have ever done)  and look to You free me from the penalty of sin, to keep me free from the power of sin and empower me overcome any temptation from sin’s  presence.  Thank you for forgiving  all of  my sins by dying on the cross to pay the punishment that I deserve.  (I was a sinner by nature and by behavior). But now I'm washed clean by Your blood that was shed [poured out] for me at Calvary [at the cross].

Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me now and will always love me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father other than by You.


Thank you Father that You have made a way for me to see myself as ungodly.  But,  because You are good You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in the Lord Jesus.  You have forgiven me because He took my place and You have provided for  me to be born again [born from above, born of the Holy Spirit].  
You prompted this desire and faith to believe in Your only begotten Son who,gave up  His life and died on the cross to pay my sin debt, not mine alone, but the sins of the whole world. 

Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus there is no condemnation. After You raised Him from the dead You gave Him a Glorified, [everlasting] physical body and  after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with  You  in heaven. 

 

 I pray this in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ with a grateful heart.   Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Comforter, The Spirit of Truth, for my guidance and solemn instruction into all truth.,  Amen.”

Thank You Holy Spirit of Truth, The Comforter, The Paraclete [true friend who is by your side and always has your back]  for the new life in Jesus and the  victory that comes when I recon myself dead indeed unto sin and alive unto God through Christ Jesus our Lord trusting You, Holy Spirit for Your  empowerment  to see  this promise fulfilled. Romans 6:11

Thank you that you, Holy Spirit,  always exalt [lift up] the Lord Jesus.  John 16:8-11

 

With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. 
I ask now that You live Your life through me in Your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

 

 

Please allow us to celebrate with you and with the angels in heaven at the news of your new birth.   Please write to:

… and pray for souls to be saved and believers to be strengthened.

The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:9

Pray also that believers will be taught by the Holy Spirit and will rightly divide God’s Holy Word preserved by God, Himself.

vis. Textus Receptus [The Received Greek Text] (From the overwhelming majority of extant New Testament Greek manuscripts)

The Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are not majority texts, [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus]. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus present variant, ambiguous and erroneous readings rather than that of the well-established and settled texts. They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand for additional editions and interpretations. These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.

Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the  Greek Textus Receptus.

 

ל Lamed

89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:

thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. [abides]

God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His Word. His Word is the God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word, settled in heaven. He is not the author of confusion.
