EPSTEINLIKS

-
First came WIKILEAKS and the PANAMA PAPERS massive data leaks exposing corruption, incompetence, and the way power-hungry humans quietly pull the strings of wars and alliances, while stashing money in offshore havens and giving speeches about “shared sacrifice” and “tightening our belts.” Turns out the only belts being tightened were ours.

Fast-forward a few years, and now we’re dealing with something far darker: EPSTEIN FILES.
WikiLeaks exposed power and political deception. Panama scandal exposed financial lies. Epstein files exposed moral rot. Not just greed, but abuse. Not just sin, but silence. Not just evil, but protection. Power shielding power.

The problem isn’t only that some elites are corrupt.
The problem is how many knew - and how few spoke.
Different scandals. Same class. Same pattern.

Money hidden offshore. 
Sins hidden behind NDAs. 
Truth buried under influence, lawyers, and “nothing to see here.”

And here’s the uncomfortable part: these aren’t fringe figures. These are the people shaping economies, policies, wars, media narratives and, ironically, handing out moral lectures. The ones telling us what’s “normal,” what’s “good for our society and for our world.”

Jesus warned that the last days would be marked by deception, lawlessness, and hearts growing cold. And He didn’t say, “Be careful serving God and Mammon.” He said, “You cannot.”

And before we get too comfortable pointing upward, Scripture turns the spotlight on us. Because the danger isn’t only corrupt elites - it’s a world in which people keep applauding them as long as markets rise, entertainment flows, and Amazon deliveries arrive on time. And we are comfortable in this world. Too comfortable.

Eschatology and understanding Bible prophecies isn’t about guessing dates.
It’s about discernment.

Jesus didn’t say, “When you see these things, panic.” He said, “Lift up your heads.”
Because corruption rising to the surface isn’t proof God lost control; it’s proof the curtain is being pulled back.

The Gospel never promised a clean empire.
It promised a faithful King. He’s coming.

And in the meantime, maybe the most radical acts left are these:
• Refuse to be bought.
• Refuse to be numb.
• Refuse to confuse success with righteousness.

The Pearl

Image
Me - It looks like a genuine pearl. It's so cute, I want it. How much does it cost? Him - Cute? I would never call it "cute". And yes, it's genuine. Me - OK, it's beautiful. So? Him - It's not cheap. In fact it's costly. Me - But how much? Him - I told you, it's very expensive. Me - Do you think I could buy it? Him - It costs everything you have, no more, no less. And anybody can buy it. Me - I'll buy it. Him - What do you have? Let's write it down. Me - Oh, don't worry, I have $100,000 in my saving account.  Him - Good, $100,000. What else? Me - What else? I have nothing more. That's all I have.   Him - Have you nothing more? Me - Well, I have some dollars here in my pocket, but... Him - How much? Me - Let me find them. So, thirty, forty, fifty, eighty, one hundred, one hundred twenty... one hundred twenty dollars and 75 cents. Him - That's fine. What else do you have?  Me - I have nothing else. That's all. I swear to... Him -...

Over Overcoming

-
  "We don't so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.” This line belongs to Carl Jung, one of the modern psychology guru. You’ll never do anything different or better unless you want to. And that desire—true want-to —won’t arise until your perspective grows enough to outweigh the pull of comfort, fear, or resistance. Real transformation begins not with behavior modification but with a shift in focus—from ourselves to something, to Someone , greater. So many sermons focus on changing behavior: “Do this, don’t do that.” “You should, you must, you ought.” “That’s wrong, stop it.” But this approach often fails. Why? Because it imposes obligation without sparking motivation. It’s inward-focused, relying on our own willpower, rather than pointing us outward - toward Christ. The truth is, victory over sin isn’t something we achieve by trying harder. That message, while common, ...

I Climbed the Holy Stairs with Martin Luther

-
The Scala Sancta are the steps that Jesus supposedly climbed on his way to Pontius Pilate that Friday morning. The 28 steps are nearby one of the most sacred Chatolic church, St. John Lateran in Rome. The steps were supposedly brought from Jerusalem by Helen, the mother of the emperor Constantine. A forgery… I stood at the bottom, wondering; was there any reason to believe someone would bring a staircase here all the way from Jerusalem? Until today, thousands are going up in their knees, mumbling prayers and hoping to be forgiven. The Scala Sancta made me feel revolted and angry. Even my daughter, Ingrid (15 years old) exclaimed in surprise: I kan’t believe they still doing this!”... I remembered that Luther, the devout pilgrim, had climbed these steps on his knees, feeling ever more hopeless and confused as he climbed. He should have been going up to freedom; instead, his feelings went into the depths of self-doubt. As he hobbled up the steps, he was praying to get his grandparents o...
