False

False prophecy. False claims.

Rampant in Old Testament days. And today.

Hananiah uses the lingo of a true prophet. Sounding official.

“This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel says…. This is the Lord’s declaration…. This is what the Lord says…” (Jeremiah 28:2,4,11).

But he’s using the Lord’s name in vain.

False prophet Hananiah. Jeremiah 28.

Crossing Cultures Devotional Memoir

Third culture

 In the early 1980s, I was invited to a strategic gathering. 

Large group. All different ages. Raised in countries on every continent. Brought together on purpose. 

Why? To gain understanding of a term coined by Ruth Hill Useem in the 1950s. 

And now found in Webster’s dictionary.

Third culture kid. TCK.

TCK. At church in Indonesia.

Compassionate

Compassionate One

who sees and knows

the deeper side

of all that marches

through this life.

Sudden change.

Surprises.

Unexpected turns.
