Thought for Today: Thursday November 27
I once read about a sundial on which was inscribed the message: “It is later than you think”. Travellers would often pause to meditate on the meaning of that phrase. We believers have a sundial – the Word of YHVH. From Genesis to Revelation, it bears its warning: “It is later than you think”. Writing to the believers of his day, Paul said: “It is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now, salvation is nearer to us than when we believed…” Learn to live each day as if it were your last. Some day it will be!
Here are some hard questions to ponder: do we serve God because He is worthy to be served, or because we expect to get something for ourselves? Do we really have faith in God, or do we have faith in our idea of God? These are some of the questions Barry Phillips and David Jones address in this conversation about the life our Messiah calls us to live.

No it’s not commanded, and yes it’s a man-made tradition. But it’s not pagan. Don’t confuse “man-made” with pagan. Celebrate or don’t. It’s your call. But Would You Kindly refrain from telling people it’s pagan like Christmas & Easter. It’s not. Be grateful or be quiet.
Happy Thanksgiving.

It’s with great sadness that I need to share some difficult news. Due to diminishing funding and a steadily declining number of active members, we’ve reached a point where it’s no longer possible to keep the TTN platforms running.
Another challenge has been TTN’s open-platform nature. Because all subjects are allowed—such as polygamy and other sensitive topics—some people prefer not to be associated with the site. The only way to overcome this would be to rewrite the T&Cs and restrict who can join or what can be discussed… but doing so goes completely against the original vision of TTN as an open, community-led space.
In other words, I’m damned if I do, and damned if I don’t.
The only real way forward would be to re-focus and rebuild the platform, but that requires time, energy, and funding that I no longer have. So unless someone steps forward to take over TTN, the site will unfortunately be shut down. It’s a real shame, but I’m personally out of steam and simply cannot carry it on alone.
TTN will close on Friday, 13 December 2025 at 12:00pm BST (7:00am EST on 12 December 2025) if no takeover occurs.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported TTN over the past 4.5 years. People like Nick have published a post every day since he first joined in 2021 except when he was taken up in the hospital. Thanks Nick Liebenberg I really appreciate your posts and financial support to date.❤️
Please take time over the coming weeks to connect with those you've met here and arrange alternative ways to stay in touch.
If anything changes or someone steps forward, I will update everyone immediately.
If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.
Proverbs 25:16 ESV
Although literally true, this Proverb isn't about honey. It's about company and speech and there are two sides. First, if you have a friend that you really like, don't spend all your time with that one person. Nobody is perfect, and everybody sours with enough knowledge and attention. Second, don't make yourself a nuisance. No matter how charming you are, eventually people will get tired of you.
