Well, then it looks like the Godcast is back...
What does the 'i-' mean though? [JK]
Err... better make sure we get i-AJ: 'The Message' then...
1 John 4
Don't Believe Everything You Hear
1 My dear friends, don't believe everything you hear. Carefully weigh and examine what people tell you. Not everyone who talks about God comes from God. There are a lot of lying preachers loose in the world.
2-3Here's how you test for the genuine Spirit of God. Everyone who confesses openly his faith in Jesus Christ—the Son of God, who came as an actual flesh-and-blood person—comes from God and belongs to God. And everyone who refuses to confess faith in Jesus has nothing in common with God. This is the spirit of antichrist that you heard was coming. Well, here it is, sooner than we thought!
4-6My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world. These people belong to the Christ-denying world. They talk the world's language and the world eats it up. But we come from God and belong to God. Anyone who knows God understands us and listens. The person who has nothing to do with God will, of course, not listen to us. This is another test for telling the Spirit of Truth from the spirit of deception.
God Is Love
7-10My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn't know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can't know him if you don't love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God.
[1 John 4:1-9]
"K, first of all, you need to make sure she is getting her comfort from God and not from you..." [Like you have to tell me twice...]
"Husband training 101... or?" [Not the only AB]
"Eustace comes to save the day..." [iNTESTING 'PLOT TWIST'...you know, like...]
My brother lacks confidence in his driving, guess I better get him to the final stage eventually...where you can get it for half-price while it lasts...
Err... better make sure we get i-AJ: 'The Message' then...

Technology... the new prophetic channel... but still only ONE channel...
Unlike more brash words a friend of mine used recently, I do not believe that technology in itself is potentially evil. Granted, like everything else in this life, it can be used for evil intentions which I would have to agree on. However, as impersonal as technology often is, we as a society, especially here in the Americas, we have turned it into an essential and integral part of their way of life.
At the same time, people recognize that different generations have different levels of familiarity with various technologies. Facebook and other social networking websites preceding it have often replaced pagers and other traditional forms of communication. On the other hand, sometimes whether it comes in the form of greeting cards or even the convenience of shopping at home, I still prefer actually seeing a courier come to my door so I can 'talk' face to face with a person who delivers things to me. It feels I guess, more justifiable. Like when you think about all those people who have had a 'robot' take away their jobs and you think, regardless of whether some postal workers make a ridiculous high government salary, at least God has given them a productive place in society through that you know?
I may add more to this later, this is a good 'teaser' for now, but today's a special day and I feel like I will start a new chapter on my book called 'resisting the evil one' based on Matthew 1 and Mark 4. =)
