…when “it” does not make me happy. There sure is a lot of “unhappy” out there these days! Wow. Lots of folk out there raging and rioting and looting and killing willy-nilly. I don’t go that far afield. But I do get unhappy at times. I can always find something to make me unhappy. Never […]
Hating is life changing – eternal life changing. Scary thought.
Ever thought about this?…how “for salvation in Christ — hating is life changing”? Part of Jesus’ message says: 1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into Life, because we love the brothers and sisters. He who does not love remains in [spiritual] death. Hate is “eternal-life-changing”. Scary thought. Are you […]
How then should we live now… believing the Rapture is just around the corner?
The Rapture is coming! In my heart I am leaping with joy! So now what? How should we go about with living our daily life — now that we believe the Rapture is just around the corner? The poor examples of believers past who listened to the hype and sold all and went to a […]
Are you one of the 18 percenters?
Regardless of race, color, or party affiliation… there is a certain percentage of professing Christians that vote against Jesus’ worldview. Every election. What is the “worldview” of Jesus, according to the Bible? Is Jesus’ worldview your worldview? Consider these biblical views: Voting Dichotomously, What Jesus Stands For, Which Jesus Do You Serve?, Following, Following Someone, […]
Following Jesus is not fascism
Jesus was not a fascist, and neither are His followers. Of course some fakes, the fake faith so-called Christian types may be whatever catches their fancy, but not any genuine Christian (absolutely none). Christian theology and practice in America today is somewhere very far from the fascism spectrum. This should be obvious to the world, […]
Is Jesus’ worldview your worldview?
The Dems are not the Dems of yesteryear… Jesus shared His worldview throughout the entire Bible. Yes, in the Old Testament also, since God inspired it, and Jesus is God, afterall. So we know what Jesus believes. Just read the Bible with open eyes. The “worldview” of Jesus is discernable by examining the Bible. Jesus’ […]
Fearing God with awe-filled reverence
For those of us who have a heart 100% given-over to Jesus – it is natural to “fear” God, in the sense of: we have a heart full of “awe-filled reverence”. We are full of respect for God, and thus we lift up His name in awe – through song, prayer, and conversation (“spoke to […]
Snatched by God
The word Rapture means “to snatch up or seize” unexpectedly, coming from the latin word raptus. It is recorded in the Old Testament that two individuals were seized by God, or “snatched up”. Both Enoch (Genesis 5:24) and Elijah (2 Kings 2) were walking along one day and – suddenly they were gone, snatched-up by […]
What’s living rent-free inside your head?
This article is based on the comment by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. (8/20/2020), “Donald Trump is living rent-free inside the heads of all these Democrats” There’s a whole bunch of ornery characters taking up space inside ya’lls head. True? Or False? ➡ True. Just as good and ornery Trump, and good ways of thinking and […]
Works of the flesh
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the practices of the sinful nature are clearly evident: they are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality (total irresponsibility, lack of self-control), idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions [that promote heresies], envy, drunkenness, riotous behavior, and other things like these. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, […]
He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus
do not get discouraged nor lose your motivation In these troubled times, God is urging His followers to not become discouraged. With all that is happening in these end times (COVID 19 pandemic, sickness, riots and violence, the increase of evil, financial woes, job loss, mental health, difficult relationships), we have to make a concerted […]
Why “not kneeling” is the correct Christian response, this time
You don’t always want to kneel – just because “the whole world” is kneeling, not now at stadiums during the singing of our national anthem — and certainly NOT when the Antichrist is asking you to kneel during The Great Tribulation (which is coming to the entire planet sooner than you think). Nowadays there’s a […]
God hates divorce but does He allow it anyway?
Someone recently said to me: “Evangelicals must make the biblical case against divorce. God Hates Divorce.” Agreed. The preferred sentiment is to always err on the side of preserving the sanctity of marriage. Divorce, in the case of adultery, is God’s permissive will – not an obligation or mandate. If one can find the inner […]
Voting Dichotomously
This article is written in the context of the article: Exposing a dichotomous heart Three Imaginary Scenes… showing how politicians get you to vote for evil. This is what is happening in the politics of today – as it has for many, many years. If you are a citizen, then you are involved in this […]
Trophimus I left sick at Miletus
“Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.” – 2 Timothy 4:20 Sometimes we get sick. And sometimes prayer, as earnest as you can be, leaves us not-healed. Sick Trophimus got left behind by the Apostle Paul, not because God was unable to heal him, not because God was punishing Trophimus for some sin, nor because nobody […]
Pleasure and bad behaviors we love to fall for
We love simple pleasures. Don’t we? Life is good. Sittin’ on the dock of a bay Walkin’ bare foot through the grass A day at the beach, the waves crashing, the soft sands, rocky shores and cliffs BBQs and being with family and playing with grandkids A good cup a’ Joe in the morning God […]
We are pressured in every way, but not crushed
The Apostle Paul wrote that the normal Christian life is full of uncomfortableness. Every day modernity seeks evasive Garden of Eden lifestyles of bliss. Heaven will be that good! But here — not so much. Sin has destroyed that for us, for now. We should not be surprised by pain and sorrows. As believers we […]
I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world. Yes!
I really liked this comment by Robert Burns – a good little twist of words on J.D. Farag‘s YouTube: What the future holds: (Read comments at end of this article. I have copied some to the FOR MORE section below.) robert burns 1 month ago: I would rather stand with God and be judged […]
This is natural for us so put it on
Matthew 18:3…”I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless you repent [that is, change your inner self—your old way of thinking, live changed lives] and become like children [trusting, humble, and forgiving], you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Because the true believer is enabled by God through the Holy Spirit (He […]
Today’s “perilous times” right out of Bible prophecy
We are living in the midst of days foretold by prophets of long ago. Today’s “perilous times” are right out of the prophecies by Jesus Christ, and, the Apostle Paul, Isaiah, Daniel…. Read it and weep – joyfully: for what the Lord Jesus predicted… is happening right in front of our eyes. We are living […]
God takes care of sinners
We all sin. The message of Christ says, repent, turn this way. “I am the way, the truth, and the life….” The allurements of the enemies of our soul entrap us with sin, saying, go that way. We struggle not to sin. So, what kind of sinner are you? A good sinner, a horrible sinner, […]
Being wise in a very unwise world during these End Times
Have you noticed how very unwise the people of the world are becoming? James contrasts earthly wisdom with wisdom that comes from God. Where are you at? Earthly Superficial Wisdom: James 3: verses 14-16 “[superficial] wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly (secular), natural (unspiritual), even demonic“: 14 But if you […]
Exposing a dichotomous heart
Permission to enter Have you ever been denied access? …access to anything: your own computer, an airplane, a country, a bank, a school, a concert, your own house..? Didn’t that feel horrible? I mean, here you came all this way, looking forward expectantly to enter… and, you were denied! You thought you were ready! “Permission […]
Yes I can – I can stand strong
We most definitely CAN – God says through the Apostle Paul: I can stand strong, strong enough to “[successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:10-18…verse 11). The Spirit enables us. So I say… bring it on! See: 1 Corinthians 10:13. What is needed, Paul […]
Perilous times are here
Technologies are like putting a blow torch to a fire! Our evil quotient is increasing almost daily, just as Jesus predicted.
The Christian’s mission of love every day
Once we have the absolute joy of knowing Jesus as our Savior, our life is made even richer by bringing others to Jesus – so they can be saved from the wrath of God against sin. Paul put it this way: 19 For who is [the object of] our hope or joy or our victor’s wreath […]
Act in love towards all peoples
Based on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; Matthew 25:41-46; Hebrews 13:2; 3 John 1:5. Acts of love I can do… in Christ: I will be friendly, cordial, and gracious to all people, in all circumstances, even if I am miffed, or feel wronged. I will look-out for anyone being overlooked or ignored, and be gracious and loving […]
Concurring with the Devil
Scary thought: Have you thought of this possibility… that you might be agreeing with the Devil himself? According to the Bible, there are only two major players in the entire universe: God Almighty and Lucifer, God’s mightiest created angel, who wanted to be God, and fell from God’s grace, often called “the Devil”. Are you […]
Why do church
The “church of the living God” is “the household of God”. That is the importance of “church”. We represent God on earth. Each of us is one of His Ambassadors. The local church is full of both (1) bible believing, born again believers and (2) God-damned believers. Both the wheat and the tares are in […]
When I find myself in times of trouble, I turn to Jesus
Just as His eye is on the sparrow, my God watches over me. (Luke 12:7) In times of trouble, such as with today’s events, Jesus is our answer. “Why worry, when you can pray.” Our “hope and confident expectation” at all times should be “committed and focused” on Jesus – in all that we are, […]
