Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
The most common pattern of teaching is first stating a doctrine or interpretation or belief or point of theology, and then quoting a Bible verse to back it up.
Instead, start Bible Study as though you don’t have the answers already, and everyone equally looks at what the Bible says, instead of first hearing what a man says (however ‘learned’ or ‘venerated’ that man may [claim to] be).

THE END ?
–of the world
–of my world
–of America
–of ‘normal’
THE END ?
–of everyday life as we know it
Everybody’s talking about the end.
Or, they’re thinking about it.
Preachers—either scared to talk about it, and avoiding it–or saturated with teaching on the end times, how everything’s laid out in a time line for the next millennium ‘according to the Bible.’
Is it really going to end ?
Just how will it end ?
Then what ?
It hasn’t ended yet.
People keep stashing money for retirement—still seems to be working.
Day of reckoning for the national debt hasn’t happened.
Prediction of the coming economic crash—the Great Depression like a rippling brook compared to the roar of Niagara Falls inevitably right around the corner—that fifty-year-old prediction hasn’t happened.
Nobody has time to think about ‘IT.’
IT=everything going on all over, that can’t possibly continue—unsustainable—unthinkable.
Can’t think about the unthinkable because it’s unthinkable, so we don’t think about it—just wait and see—what happens, will happen—we’ll deal with it then. *
Takes all we’ve got, and more, to just make it through another day—already on borrowed time, borrowed energy, borrowed finances, borrowed goals (vanishing dreams), borrowed mental capacity, borrowed emotional wellness.
Can we avoid what’s coming ?
Can we possibly prepare for what’s coming ?
Seems like all reporting and commentary and advice is just hoping for and coping with an extension of the same, before anything really happens to disrupt our lives big time.
Nobody knows what to say or do to get ready for what’s coming—just like no one knows how to lead the necessary revolution against the wayward government, immediately, before we completely lose this country.
Is this the first time in history without a leader for the people, for freedom ?
Nothing, NOTHING is stopping the disaster, now !
Read IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME . . . on this site.
“This is our time.
Like it or not—we will live it.”
Now add the big one—
THE END
–of my life
–of your life
–of everybody’s life
–and then what ?
How many people treat that the same way ?
–“I don’t want to think about it.”
–“I don’t want to talk about it.”
–“I’ll wait and see, and deal with it then.”
History repeats, apathy returns people to slavery, and the world goes on.
But people don’t.
Historical perspective should help, but “The one thing we learn from history is that we don’t learn anything from history.”
The end is coming—yes.
The end is near—perhaps.
My end is coming—yes.
My end is near—any time, getting closer.
So, we need a greater source for wisdom, for our end, for each of us individually, for me, for my end, and then what ?
“It is appointed to man once to die, and after that the judgment.”
“Lord, I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold.
I would make sure of heaven, I would enter the fold.
In the Book of Thy Kingdom, is my name written there ?”
Talk to Jesus today.
Tell Him you’re sorry for your sins.
Accept His payment for you.
Ask Him to write your name in His book.
* The following describes the troubling mindset in nazi Germany, which could apply to many Americans today:
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
—–Martin Niemoller (read more about him—from the German army, to a nazi prison)

For whatever sorry reason that Supreme Court nominee had, to avoid addressing the obvious, she unwittingly acknowledged the truth that defining a woman is a fact of biology.
Or is it ?
General review of history, 6000 years :
+A man and a woman make a marriage and have children to make a family.
+Culture recognizes the importance of marriage and family.
+Government protects families, and so protects society.
+Everyone and every civilization knows there are Men and Women—Male and Female—obvious from birth.
+Any culture that messes with these basics hits the trash heap of history.
–bad in Noah’s day—flooded out
–bad in Sodom’s day—nuked to nothing
–bad in Rome’s day—rotted by ‘bread and circuses’—overrun by Vandals
–bad in Nazi Germany—killing for superior race—blown to bits
So, is the crazy world today, with evil exploding everywhere, anything unique ?
The evil is not unique, not the first time.
But the pace is unprecedented.
The push seems possessed, to force evil on every square inch of society, and the world, fast.
The Bible predicts, declares the fact, that “In the last days evil will get worse and worse.”
It will be “like the days of Noah . . . wickedness was very great.”
We have no idea what it was really like then, but it was bad enough for God to wipe it out.
So, since the same God is in charge, He will lower the boom again, just not with another flood.

I have shared here a sampling of what the Bible tells us about God, and what it tells us about the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
During the 1500 years of recording the Bible—and the 4000 years of history that it records—there is an increasing revelation of God, at His discretion.
We are blessed with the complete revelation of God in the Bible, at His discretion.
I have just scratched the surface of the wealth, the gold mine, of what God chose to tell us about Himself.
I place all, ALL, of my emphasis for studying and learning about God on this verse, and others like it :
“You—search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about Me.”—–Jesus, in John 5

Now, I would like the reader to stop.
Look up the Bible verses printed here, and let them lead you to the countless others about God. Discover what God says about Himself—including Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.—be inspired, and satisfied !
The Bible tells us enough about God, without additions or explanations from anyone.
History, church history is loaded with additions and explanations—from educated and respected theologians—elevated to Biblical status, and maintained for hundreds and thousands of years.
God revealed Himself through history, and He recorded in the Bible what He wanted us to know.
Man is not satisfied that God told us enough, so he adds, and adds—just like the religious leaders of Jesus’ day had added to God’s Word of the Old Testament—with His harshest rebuke.
God is not subject to evolution, just like His creation is not !
Man added trinity.
Man added indulgences.
Man added rituals promising ‘right with God.’
Man added last rites.
Man added blanket forgiveness.
Man added church hierarchy, with power.
Man added status for money.
Man added special qualifications proving special relationships with God.
Man added substitutes for personal Bible study.
Man added volume as substitute for power.
Man added “Did God really say” this is sin?
The above list is not limited to the Catholic church or certain denominations.

Do you depend on theologians to ‘explain God’,* or do you learn about God (theos) straight from His Word (logos) ?
* Man explaining God is an oxymoron and an impossibility—like a snail explaining a carnival ride from a turtle’s back.
Better let God explain God, and leave it at that.
Be satisfied with what He said about Himself (a lot—enough), and don’t try to add to it.
I just learned that the IRS spent ten million dollars on guns and ammunition.
