“Following Jesus” versus “Liking Jesus” I doubt Jesus likes Facebook much. Especially now (2020) – where faceless Facebook minions are actually censoring Christian conservative thought. [The Christian Post reported this about Facebook, – Facebook shuts down Christian ministry’s page with no explanation. – Source: 0% Soon]. I find it totally amazing that companies censor so […]
Good policies vs. Bad policies
At the end of his article, gently pointing out the error of his friend’s advice (John Piper), Wayne Grudem outlines two very contrasting lists of what will happen as a result of this election on November 3, 2020 — with Trump winning or with Biden winning. Very interesting. The results will be dramatically different. “Birds […]
A no vote for either side – gives away your chance to choose with love
With the most impacting voting opportunity EVER in history, the highly respected John Piper said basically: do not vote for either side. What?!
Presidential Election
How do you decide who to vote for, what to vote for – in these end times?
Voting while set on God’s will, His values and His purposes
Quite a thorny issue, voting. Back when this article was written (Oct 27, 2020) the issues were similar to the ones for the 2024 elections. It is extremely important to vote wisely. As a true follower of Jesus – I innately desire God’s will, His values and His purposes in all I do. Are you there?
Seeing clearly now
Seeing clearly now in these End Times is so very difficult. Misinformation floods our mind threatening to throw our thinking every which way. Sound doctrine, what God has made so very clear for us – gets distorted by false teachers. And the call of the wild beckons. The enemies of our soul are always camping at the gates.To remain faithful to the end, we followers of Jesus must regularly examine ourselves, ask penetrating questions deep inside our insides.
My Happy
I can always find something to make me unhappy. Never failed me yet – this unhappy thing. As they say, “If it’s not one thing, it’s another.” It can always make me unhappy.
Are you one of the 18 percenters?
What is the “worldview” of Jesus, according to the Bible? Is Jesus’ worldview your worldview?
Biblical Commentary About Daily News (1)
So sad, that (in some churches) 30% of those around you in church — are not going to heaven. We cannot assume our fellow attendees believe the truth that God came to earth as a man. And THAT is an integral part of the Gospel of Jesus. In fact, many pastors outright teach false doctrines like this from the pulpit, saying “Jesus isn’t God”. Unbelievable! Why worship Jesus, if He is a mere puny man? His death on the cross would then mean nothing.
The Passion Translation (TPT) and why not to use it
The translation done by Brian Simmons, called The Passion (TPT), is not a faithful translation of the original. It is very much fraught with misleading words Simmons adds into the text (…”it is at least 50% longer than the original”). Good Christians should want to go to more accurate translations, and not ever use this deviant version. It has been so adulterated that it is not God’s Word.
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, […]
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 […]
Voting Dichotomously
Are you living a dichotomous life… serving two masters?
The Antichrist is soon to be revealed to us
Jan Markell, for many years now, has been keeping tabs on End Times events. She sees. She knows. She’s done the research. From her observations, it is quite striking how prophetic events have accelerated so much since 2010. Jan Markell gives very interesting details. Things are heating up! I say: Get ready for the Rapture. It’s a’comin’ round the corner. Are you ready this moment to kneel in person, before your Savior?
2 Timothy 4:3
2 Timothy 4:3. Amplified Bible (AMP) “For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine….”
The Fool Says
So, what kind of fool are you…? Remember the popular song saying this? “What kind of fool do you think I am?”
The Apostle Paul’s Criticisms
What’s the difference between a critical spirit – and the Apostle Paul’s Pauline criticisms (or Berean thinking). When is criticism okay?
Making God
Are you following a god made after your own understanding – or Creator God the One and Only? Are you making “god”? Would you like to die and find yourself kneeling before a different God than the one you had been following while on earth? God is calling us to Himself. Are you seeking God?
Fight the good fight
What does it mean to “fight the good fight”? What fight are we in, as believers? Of course, if we are not truly following Christ, then it doesn’t change things one way or the other – whether we fight the good fight or not. But, for those who follow Christ sincerely, it is incumbent upon us to fight, as 1 Timothy 1:18-19 shows us.
The model said “sorry mom”
This article made me wonder: how “public” about our faith are we in this land of the free? Does anything “register” with other people — about our faith? Do people that meet me – soon come to know of my faith in Christ as my Savior? Do I care whether they know or not? Does it matter?
Puny humans
Quotes about mere puny mud-men and women of clay – us.
Luke 6:46. Do what I say
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” – Luke 6:46
The Confuscating John Pavlovitz
This post is a warning to the Church against false teachers. In this day of instant communication, rarely deeply thought through, we need to be careful who we listen to. We need to be warned about these wolves in sheep’s clothing.Jesus named names. The Apostle Paul named names. False teachers spout a lot of their own words, trying to maintain a “Christian” look and feel. I stay away from dishonest wolves in sheepskins.
Is this you?
What does Jesus want to see in me? 1 Thessalonians 5 tells us a lot about that.
Needing something more than Jesus
If in your faith in Christ — you are also needing something more than Jesus, then you are most likely being led astray, taught by a counterfeit charismatic movement leader or a New Age church. These charming charmers, false teachers, “turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons”.
Limited Thinking
So, you are thinking? That’s a good thing! And those thoughts are – what? They are your thoughts? Have you been able to get past your own thinking – and think with God and His expressed thoughts? What experience do you have in the universe, to be a foundation for your thoughts – by you, yourself? On what do you build your thoughts? Is it only from you and others like you? Do you live your own way?
Being Wise & Understanding
The wisdom from God reveals itself through our good behavior. A wise person shows his/her spiritual wisdom by their resulting good behavior (James 3:13-18). Are you spiritually wise and understanding? Look at your inner soul, and your outward actions, the things you do. That will tell you if you are spiritually wise and understanding. The […]
Secret Gardens of Discontent
Be very careful you do not have a Secret Garden in your heart – where you carefully tend bad fruits and bad trees, attractive bushes and hedges in your mind, hidden from sight, things that go contrary to His expressed Ways. What are you cultivating? “There is a way which seems right to a man […]
Thinking Is Incidental?
Being an atheist: “It’s incidental to who I am.” – 2018 USA State Senator candidate Is that really what you think… that: How I think is incidental to how I act? That how I think is incidental to what laws and decisions I will support? How ridiculous is that!? A 2018 USA State Senator wannabee […]
Religion and Philosophizing
Religion will get you nowhere but down. Jesus gets you where you really want to go. Look at the evidence. Jesus comes through all the evidences — as God come down to earth to save us all. Look for yourself.
