It was in Antioch that the Disciples were first called Christians. Acts 11:26c

There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written. John 21:25

Acts 11:21b-26; 12:1-3, Psalm 98 & John 21:20-25

When you separate yourself from the world by breathing, eating and living the Gospel of Christ Jesus, you are labeled as a Christian. It was during the time in Antioch that the Disciples were first called Christians because they stood out from those who practiced Judaism. In today’s world, for far too long, we Christians have become silent as a majority instead of truly preaching the Gospel as the Disciples did when they were the minority. Think about that: Then they were constantly under the eye of Jewish religious leaders who wanted them to be killed. Now we are allowed to follow Christianity without the worry of being killed. Why on earth have we become so SILENT?

More than  ever in our world, especially here in the United States, we as the majority of Christian United States Citizens have to stand up and let our voices heard. Better yet, we as the majority have to stand up and let the Gospel of Jesus Christ be heard. When you live in a world where disrespecting your elders seems to be allowed by their dress, casual sex and greed, then we have let the secular world separate our faith from our youth and the consequences have been truly devastating to our educational advances as well as our moral objectives to please God.

Jesus reveals Himself to them a third time after He rises from the dead according to the Gospel of John and truly rehabilitates Peter from his denial of Christ at his arrest and establishes Peter’s committed role of building the Church for His Father’s Glory. Now 2000 years later the Church as a whole still has a central mission and that is to share the Redemption of Christ with all humanity to save the world from sin. John closes his book with something we should understand about Jesus and that is He has done so much for the world not all the books in the world could hold His direct affect on the world’s Truth.

So we ask in prayer: Dear Father God, we pray today our silence stops in America and the world of Your glorification in all things. We pray our lives represent the Truth in Christianity and live to accomplish Your Will. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

God Bless His Truth for America,

Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

Romans 8:28

Spirit led God inspired Christ fed

Christ Has Fed My Soul

The Spirit guides me

His Truth from Heaven I see

Not clouded by gaudiness

Righteous and free

God has inspired me

To write His Truth for you

Sharing the Truth with Humanity

Seeking a life of use

Christ has fed my soul

My heart is filled with Him

Residing in my being

Seen in my wide loving grin

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do! I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650. I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect. I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain, Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
