The Bad Christian Project...

Calling all God's people everywhere...

Get involved in the "The Bad Christian Project" make a difference in your faith today and learn about the history of Christianity. Here is brief synopsis of how it all went down...

Once upon a time there was this little Roman Emperor named Nero. You know the guy that played the fiddle while Rome burned. Nero wanted to rename Rome under his name and started the fire. He blamed the Christians for the fire and wholesale persecution started. With thousands and thousands of Christians dying for something they never did. Then about 250 years later along came another Emperor named Constantine. Who was best known for being the first Christian Roman Emperor. Under Constantine Christianity moved from a persecuted belief to a persecuting religion literally overnight.

Then about 1200 years later along came a simple German monk named Martin Luther who started the great reformation and the split from the Roman Catholic church. Protestantism was born. Fast forward to today 2010 there are currently 38,000 Christian denominations that are not supported by scripture yet they exist. My question is why do we allow this when it is clear in scripture we are to be united?

The Bad Christian Project is a fairly large effort that will need the cooperation and unity of many Christian folk right across the world. The whole idea stems from the fact that Christianity is divided by denominational divergence and that we as believers in Christ can work together to make a difference in our belief. And further the great commission to make disciples of all the world. Starting here in North America and moving as far as God will allow the project to reach. That we can break down the barriers of denomination by participating in a project that makes a bee-line to the message of Jesus Christ.

The project itself is a grassroots movement that can help raise awareness to the fact that Christianity in the beginning was a persecuted belief. And that persecution of that belief still happens in many parts of the world Today. Maybe it happens right in your own church or neighborhood. The project will focus on how denominational divergence started and how we as grassroots believers in Jesus Christ can stop the spread of sectarianism in Christianity and get back to the basics of why Jesus came and offered salvation to a dying world.

I am asking people of faith from every denomination these questions...

1. Do you think that God sent Jesus Christ to the earth to set-up a new religion called Christianity? If yes... Where in scripture would you find that Jesus was to start a new religion called Christianity?

2. What denomination did Jesus and the Apostles belong too?

3. Will Jesus find faith on the earth when He comes on the great and final day?

Also I would like to receive any footage from anywhere that shows believers being persecuted for their belief in Jesus Christ. This footage could include folks who have been excommunicated for any type of reason from any denomination.

People needed;

- Prayer Warriors to pray continually for the project from start to finish.

- Amateur/Professional Film Makers - Who have DV style camera's right across the world who would be willing to shoot footage in their cities and send it in to me for consideration in the film.

- People that can help with production, graphics, website, computer animations, posters and as general lobbyists to gain support from the Christian community in their geographical locations.

- Film industry people who would give their talents to help make the film look professional and help with distribution.

- Musicians/Song Writers/Artists/Actors/Actresses et al that would be willing to contribute their talent through song, poetry, prose, painting and any and all art-forms that excite the senses.

- Donations of money, time, talent for every aspect of this creation.

Folks I am just a small believer with a big dream that is based in scripture. If God is for us, who can be against us? And that despite the huge problems that the current 38,000 Christian denominations have caused. We as believers despite our denominational differences can one day walk into any Christian church that professes Jesus Christ as Lord and be accepted. Just as Jesus accepts us into his body and that we can be one just as the Father and Son are one. Is this not the prayer that Jesus prayed for all believers?

JOHN 17: 20-26

"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. "Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Divide & Conquer...

Have you seen the internet movie Zietgeist?

It asks a question that ties the Christian religion to terrorist acts all for the control of money by asking; What does Christianity, 911 and The Federal Reserve all have in common?

First let me say that there is much truth that Christianity was taken over by the Romans and that they the Romans did add paganism into the Christian belief. However something that must be considered about folks who say they believe in Jesus Christ is;


Where in the bible does it say that Jesus Christ came to start a new religion called Christianity?

Where does the bible mention that you must belong to a church or a denomination?


As long as the religious status quo continues, there will be people questioning the Christian religion because it doesn't live up to its precepts. Why? Because the Christian religion itself is a farce. Only through Jesus Christ is God revealed as love and only through Jesus Christ are we brought into relation with the true God of our creation. Christ not religion!

Christianity went from a persecuted belief to a persecuting religion under control of the Romans. And all branches of Christianity (denominations) participate in the persecution of Gods people who are everyone. Believe it or not God loves everyone and wishes that all of mankind would come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. But not a denominational Jesus for there is no support for that from God's word the "Holy Bible".

Christianity as a belief not an organized religion must move away from "Denominational Divergence" and show love. I challenge churches and church folks to give up there tax status and start loving the way Jesus told us too.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

John 15:12

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Who is Jesus Christ...?

One would think that this question after two thousand plus years would have been answered beyond a shadow of the doubt, but it hasn't, lets explore why.

First I guess who Jesus Christ is to you depends on what Christian denomination you call home base. Or perhaps you don't believe in Him at all despite all the hoopla over the centuries about this man from Galilee. There are well over 30,000 plus Christian denominations, that all say they believe in God and Jesus Christ, but lets consider what James says; "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder/tremble.

The confusion comes from all the different denominations out there which I believe are designed to cause trouble and confusion for those who are searching for God. "Denominational Divergence" adds their own take on who Jesus is while ignoring this fact that God alone defines who Christ is for the believer.

Consider; Matthew 16:13-17

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"

They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.

Now lets consider whether you are currently Christian or just discovering or considering God in your life the only way to understand who Jesus is comes from the Father in heaven as does our faith so nobody can boast consider; Ephesians 2:8-10

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

The other thing is that if you asked everyone you met and know who they think Jesus Christ is you would get as many different answers as people asked. Folks lets leave the revealing to God the Father as it was meant to be and remember if you lack anything keep asking, keep knocking and keep discovering God everyday.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

What Denominations Believe...

The belief of any denomination is central to their doctrine such as;

The Nicene Creed (325) or profession of faith which says;

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father [the only-begotten; that is, of the essence of the Father, God of God], Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father;

etc...

Missing is what happens when someone is saved and dies. The popular belief is that we go to heaven (is it a denominational heaven?). Why does Peter say this of King David a man after God's heart and that Jesus is the only one to ascend to heaven?

Acts 2:29-35

"Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay. God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,

"The Lord said to my Lord:

"Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

So the big question is are the souls of men immortal?

I say NO because we did not eat from The Tree of Life but only from The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. And that eating from that tree has caused us to try to derive life from it, through denominational divergence, ever since. "Denominational Divergence" is sin that can be drawn back to the very beginning of sin in our world at the fall of man.

Consider; John 3:13-15

No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.

Please notice the everyone who believes in Him, may have eternal life, it does not assure it. For without repentance, there is no salvation. The Law makes you aware of your sin, the Son sets you free.

Consider what the Apostle James says; "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder/tremble. Our belief, our faith and our Christian Walk must be more then that of demons. If it is to be believable by those that are watching for they will know we are Christians by our LOVE...

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Persevering in the Truth...

What do you believe about Jesus Christ the Messiah (Saviour) of the world?

Did Jesus come to invent a new religion or is the current denominational system an off-shoot of the Roman Catholic Religion that adopted Jesus into their religion?

Who's right, who's wrong?

Does it matter?

Well I guess the answer to these probing questions depends on what you believe about your Jesus. If you think in denominational terms and have misplaced loyalty to a denomination. Then chances are; you are a religious person pushing your party's mandate blindly and unquestionable.

The fact is that Jesus was irreligious he was vehemently against the religious system of His time and let those practicing it know in no uncertain terms that He disapproved. We are here to demonstrate God's love and without unity it will never happen. I'll say that again loudly.

WE ARE HERE TO DEMONSTRATE GOD'S LOVE AND WITHOUT UNITY IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN...

"Denominational Divergence" is sin and a stumbling block for the would be believer as Jesus said about the religious leaders of his time, I repeat now to those that push religion over truth;

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

"Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.'

You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?

You also say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.'

You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.

And he who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Church Salvation...

Belonging as a card carrying member of a Christian denomination, has nothing at all, to do with your salvation. Because "Denominational Divergence" is sin.

Allow me to reiterate that statement...

Belonging as a card carrying member of a Christian denomination, has nothing at all, to do with your salvation. Because "Denominational Divergence" is sin.

Jesus never commanded us to follow any man's teachings over the word of God...

In fact Jesus was against the organized religion of his time and so should we...

Consider; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Also consider;

"You may remember the story of how Satan and a demon of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. The demon said to Satan, 'What did that man pick up?' 'He picked up a piece of the truth,' said Satan. 'That is a very bad business for you, then,' said his demon minion. 'Oh, not at all,' Satan replied, 'I am going to help him organize it.' says Satan 'We will use money as the lure and make it irresistible to the greedy, we will build a theocracy that will stand the test of time.'

Some would say but we need to be organized in order to defeat the Devil in the world. News flash, Jesus Christ already did that for us. All we need do is as believers is spread the gospel and allow others to know we are Christians by our love. Gathering is of course biblical and there is a good example in Acts as to how we should gather.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

The Mystery of Sin & Deception...

Ignorance is a double edge sword/word that is is used both in the sense that a person is unaware of certain knowledge or chooses to subjectively ignore facts that would make them aware of that particular knowledge. When used in the latter the word can become a descriptive adjective that is used to insult the ignorant person as in 'you are an ignorant so and so'.

Jesus said in Matthew 25 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'You may notice that in that passage that Jesus said; 'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

Nowhere in that passage did he say you argued on behalf of your denomination and I counted it as righteousness to you as if you spoke for God. Words are cheap and action is beyond price for it demonstrates your righteousness to others and your ability to give freely the joy of the Spirit which is given to each and every believer that accepts Christ as Saviour. When we practice our God given love towards others, we demonstrate the one thing that all humanity searches for which is perfection in our emotional lives especially our ability to give and receive love.

Picture if you will, two (2), long distance runners that are complete opposites one practices his ability to run long distances; by extending his ability daily through his training until he can run the full 26 miles needed to complete the marathon. While the other runner practices by running five (5) miles everyday. Which one do you think has a better chance at winning the race? If we first accept the love and joy that God gives us freely then we should also give of the love freely to others. But therein is the problem for just like the runners we must first practice and train to demonstrate our God given love for each other.

Where is the training ground that we should practice our love for each other first?

  • Is it in our homes?
  • Is it in our circle of friends?
  • is it at church?
  • Is it at school?
  • Is it at work?
We have a rule in our home where we first practice our love for each other; we do not treat anyone outside of our home better than the people who live in our home. How much easier it is to love others, when we are first able to love each other by controlling our tongues with each other when we disagree. The other thing we practice is acknowledging that there is fear within anger and we explore what it is that is causing the issue and deal with the problem rather than the symptom. This is all against the stream of the norm of this world but then we are not part of this world that is passing away.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Denominational Arrogance

I wonder what denomination will heaven be?

I also wonder if denominational divergence is not what the book of Jude is talking about when it says to contend strongly for the faith v.3.

Here is the (Amplified) book of Jude in it's entirety you decide!

JUDE 1

1JUDE, A servant of Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and brother of James, [writes this letter] to those who are called (chosen), dearly loved by God the Father and separated (set apart) and kept for Jesus Christ:

2May mercy, [soul] peace, and love be multiplied to you.

3Beloved, my whole concern was to write to you in regard to our common salvation. [But] I found it necessary and was impelled to write you and urgently appeal to and exhort [you] to contend for the faith which was once for all " handed down to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief which was delivered " verbally to the holy people of God].

4For certain men have crept in stealthily "gaining entrance secretly by a side door. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

5Now I want to remind you, though you were fully informed once for all, that though the Lord [at one time] delivered a people out of the land of Egypt, He subsequently destroyed those [of them] who did not believe [who refused to adhere to, trust in, and rely upon Him].

6And angels who did not keep (care for, guard, and hold to) their own first place of power but abandoned their proper dwelling place--these He has reserved in custody in eternal chains (bonds) under the thick gloom of utter darkness until the judgment and doom of the great day.

7[The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns--which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in unnatural vice and sensual perversity--are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire."

8Nevertheless in like manner, these dreamers also corrupt the body, scorn and reject authority and government, and revile and libel and scoff at [heavenly] glories (the glorious ones).

9But when [even] the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, judicially argued (disputed) about the body of Moses, he dared not [presume to] bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, The Lord rebuke you!"

10But these men revile (scoff and sneer at) anything they do not happen to be acquainted with and do not understand; and whatever they do understand physically [that which they know by mere instinct], like irrational beasts--by these they corrupt themselves and are destroyed (perish).

11Woe to them! For they have run riotously in the way of Cain, and have abandoned themselves for the sake of gain [it offers them, following] the error of Balaam, and have perished in rebellion [like that] of Korah!"

12These are hidden reefs (elements of danger) in your love feasts, where they boldly feast sumptuously [carousing together in your midst], without scruples providing for themselves [alone]. They are clouds without water, swept along by the winds; trees, without fruit at the late autumn gathering time--twice (doubly) dead, [lifeless and] plucked up by the roots;

13Wild waves of the sea, flinging up the foam of their own shame and disgrace; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of eternal darkness has been reserved forever.

14It was of these people, moreover, that Enoch in the seventh [generation] from Adam prophesied when he said, Behold, the Lord comes with His myriads of holy ones (ten thousands of His saints)

15To execute judgment upon all and to convict all the impious (unholy ones) of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed [in such an] ungodly [way], and of all the severe (abusive, jarring) things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

16These are inveterate murmurers (grumblers) who complain [of their lot in life], going after their own desires [controlled by their passions]; their talk is boastful and arrogant, [and they claim to] admire men's persons and pay people flattering compliments to gain advantage.

17But you must remember, beloved, the predictions which were made by the apostles (the special messengers) of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

18They told you beforehand, In the last days (in the end time) there will be scoffers [who seek to gratify their own unholy desires], following after their own ungodly passions.

19It is these who are [agitators] setting up distinctions and causing divisions--merely sensual [creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people], devoid of the [Holy] Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life.

20But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith "make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit;

21Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)--[which will bring you] unto life eternal.

22And refute [so as to] convict some who dispute with you, and on some have mercy who waver and doubt.

23[Strive to] save others, snatching [them] out of [the] fire; on others take pity [but] with fear, loathing even the garment spotted by the flesh and polluted by their sensuality."

24Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]--

25To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).


May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

The Sabbath...

You know I always had a problem packing up my little guys and rushing to church every Sunday morning to worship it always felt wrong to me. But I went along with it, until I actually started to use the mind God gave me and the eyes he gave me also, to actually read what the scripture says about the Sabbath day.

Keeping the Sabbath is the 4th Commandment that we find in Exodus 20 starting at verse 8 and ending at verse 11.

EXODUS 20:8-11

"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Nowhere in that passage does it say we are to worship on the Sabbath at brick and mortar buildings or anywhere at all for that matter. It says to rest as God did. For six days you shall labor and do all your work but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.

So whether you hold Sunday as the Sabbath or Saturday or any other day if you are going to church which is a labor unto itself, are you really keeping the Sabbath as commanded in the fourth commandment?

Now lets look further at the denominational divergence of the Sabbath. Those that choose Saturday argue that Sunday worshipers have it all wrong they reason that "Sun-day" comes from the pagan worship of the Sun God. The Sunday worshipers argue that Saturday derives from the Latin for "Saturn's day" a pagan day of worship of the planet Saturn. Who's right? Who cares?

If my salvation depended on what day I choose to worship or what denominational mess I belonged to, I would give up on religion completely and go the way of the Flying Spaghetti Monster folks and make it out to be a big joke. Thank goodness it is no joke for in Ephesians we find;

EPHESIANS 2:8-9

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.


By grace we are saved not by denomination thank the Lord almighty that our salvation is not dependent on what church we attend or what denomination we belong to.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

THE ABOMINATION OF DENOMINATION

The abomination of the denomination, with over 33,000 plus Christian denominations out there and with at least 10,000 of them thinking they are the only way I would like to remind the reader of Jesus Christ's words. Jesus said in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

What happened in between the time Jesus spoke these words and now?

If we believe Jesus' words, which I highly recommend, then being of any other denomination then the way of Jesus would put us in danger of not following the one true God. Does that scare you? Because it should... Consider Matthew 7:21-23

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'

Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

Are denominational differences in Christendom God's will?

Or is it the will of the enemy?

Has the enemy divided and conquered Christendom?

We who call ourselves Christian need to get back to God and walk in the victory of Christ and we need to remember the central prohibition of our faith is not to judge others for we are all sinners and all fall short of the glory of God...

What denomination was Jesus?

Was he a Baptist?

Nope!

Was he a Mennonite/Anabaptist

Nope!

How about a Methodist?

Nope!

I can go on at 33,000 plus times, I am sure you get the picture. the bible teaches us to repent of our sin and denominational differences is definitely sin. Repent of religion before you stand in front of Jesus.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
