Don’t agonize over Bible passages that are unpopular, that go against the current tide—give the message anyway.
“You’re just a delivery boy—you didn’t write the message—God did.”

GOD—
NO DEBATE
NO CHANGES
NO ADDITIONS
NO DELETIONS
GOD’S WORD—
NO DEBATE
NO CHANGES
NO ADDITIONS
NO DELETIONS
God came to us, as one of us, so we could relate to Him—but on His terms, not ours.
God told us everything we need to know about Him—in the Bible—in creation—in our conscience.
Man instinctively tries to shape God into something like us—never works !
QUARANTINE – – – IN HELL ? – – – IN HEAVEN ?

Quarantine forever—where do you want to be ?
– – –
In hell he lifted up his eyes to Abraham in Paradise and cried out for a drop of water for the torment in the flames.
Abraham answered that there was a barrier preventing any passing between heaven and hell — QUARANTINE ! ! ! — PERMANENT ! ! !
– – –
The guy in hell then pleaded for someone to come back from the dead and warn his brothers headed for hell.
Abraham said, “Can’t do—besides, it wouldn’t do any good, if they all ignore the Bible (like you did)”.
That fixes a permanent quarantine to not return from the dead and inspire people.
That cancels a lot of popular movies and stories that feel so good.
– – –
Jesus told that story—you might ought to check in with Him, like now ! ! !
I wouldn’t put it off another day.
You don’t want to be the guy in the story, or one of his brothers.
(Unless of course you think Jesus is a crazy liar.)

THE WORST KIND OF HIDING
October 11, 2023 By Leave a Comment
“When the wicked rise to power, righteous people go into hiding.”
It could also be said (in America in recent years) that when the righteous (Christians) go into hiding, the wicked rise to power.
But, you say, we are not hiding—we still go to church and worship openly—even leaders on the other side say we have freedom of worship.
– – –
The worst kind of hiding for Christians in America that has been going on for decades is satisfaction with business as usual.
The most dangerous, most perilous place for Christians is comfortable–getting along, fitting in, included, and inclusive.
Ask yourself, “Am I living, ‘called by Jesus’, daily, to make a difference—or—fitting Jesus into the successful life I have chosen in this prosperity-blessed country?”
– – –
Perhaps a little play with words can help get someone’s attention.
Compatibility with the culture has canceled Christians’ countering corruption and countless calamities around us, and in our churches.
CONTRADICTORY – OR – COMPLEMENTARY
October 11, 2023 By Leave a Comment
We can find passages in the Bible that seem to say the opposite of other passages, including instructions for living the Christian life.
And there are numerous oxymorons where opposites are found within the same verse.
So, what do we do with that ?
– – –
Read more in the Bible, and ask for direction for our life.
– – –
God didn’t write the Bible for us to understand everything—then we would not need Him.
He left stuff beyond our grasp to show He is beyond us.
But He also gave us all we need to know and understand—for a personal relationship with Him—and He made that so simple a child can get it—in fact we must come as a child would come.
– – –
So, try to be less concerned about difficult parts, and ask for wisdom and willingness to obey (that is, apply in your everyday life) what is clear.
The best way to greater understanding of the Bible is to do what it says that you already understand.
“If anyone wills (decides, is willing) to do His will, he will know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God.”
Many people don’t want to accept the Bible and Jesus, because He calls for change—they must resort to raising ongoing questions and objections that come from their unwillingness to obey—because they can’t give up their lifestyle.
– – –
Putting Jesus in charge of their life is too much to ask.
– – –
But they can’t just walk away (like the rich, young guy, when Jesus told him he had to give up what was dear to him) because their conscience still bothers them—so they present feeble debates of the centuries.
Fighting God is a losing proposition, even if you think you have a case.
Like “There is no God, and I hate Him.”
NO CELL PHONES IN . . .

NO CELL PHONES IN THIS ROOM OR THIS ROOM OR THIS ROOM !
+ No cell phones in the bathroom !
+ No cell phones in the bedroom !
+ No cell phones in the room where you are eating, TOGETHER !
I could write for an hour on the best use for each of those rooms, and how I thought of this article sitting in one of them.
But it is more effective if I let you think and talk about how you and yours will use your time there, without cell phones.
HOW COULD HE DO THAT ?

HOW COULD HE DO THAT ?
How ?
By evil influence and power of the devil.
HOW COULD HE GET AWAY WITH DOING THAT HERE ?
How ?
By divine influence and power of God in “we the people”—MISSING ! ! !
“I DID THAT” — AND I DID . . .

You’ve seen or heard of stickers on gas pumps, when prices skyrocketed—“I Did That” with Joe Biden’s picture or name.
With the new TV screens turned on for a captive audience while you pump gas, picture this, coming to a gas station near you—coming to all gas stations and all screens:
Joe Biden (or equivalent) on the screen saying, “Yes, I did that. And I did this—
— I finished fundamentally changing America,
— I finished the great reset,
— I finished shutting up Christians,
— I finished capitalism,
— I finished the economy,
— I finished my deal with China,
— I finished America.”
And then, on the screen—the real one, working for the real enemy, in charge, for real, in real time—tells everyone, EVERYONE, all at one time, the rules of the new world order, and what you must do, if you want to eat, and live.
