AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT

It was final.
The door was shut.
Everyone who was not inside, drowned.

1– And who decided when to close the door ?
2– And who closed the door ?
3– And who could not open the door, even if he wanted to, even while everybody outside was drowning, and everybody inside was safe ?

(1)– God decided when to close the door of the ark.
(2)– “God closed the door of the ark.”
(3)– Noah could not open the door of the ark, even if he wanted to, even while he knew everyone outside was drowning.

–

So it is graphically true today.
“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark.
And they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away.
So shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

“What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.”

“After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’”

ARREST LAWBREAKERS !

Arresting lawbreakers immediately can save their lives and others.

RECYCLING – – – GOOD, BAD, UGLY

Recycling—Bible version.

GOOD
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

BAD
“By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground—because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”

UGLY
“Did God really say ?”

The devil said said that, to Eve.
It worked, so he recycled the line.
Disguised and presented like new, the lie works again and again on anyone unguarded by truth.

CASTRATION, SPAYING, NEUTERING, AND TRANSGENDER SURGERY – – –

What do castration, spaying, neutering, and transgender surgery have in common ?

They prevent reproduction.

Castration, spaying, and neutering have long been practiced on animals without ethical issues and with established benefits of man’s dominion over the rest of creation.

Man was never given such dominion over other people.
On the contrary, severe limits and penalties and punishments are clearly spelled out for killing or harming another human.
Special severity is described for harming children.
That would most certainly apply to all transgender procedures, chemical and surgical.

And, in addition to the blatant criminal actions of transgender procedures against the laws of God and the laws of nature established by God, most of the recent plague of gender identity confusion is intentionally encouraged and fueled by media and education—directed at the very young.

Many are pushing for treating people like animals, especially children who should not and cannot make these permanent, destructive, life-altering decisions and actions.

Just like with abortion, the patient/victim is not told the truth before it is too late.
And the truth of the awful consequences is suppressed to the public after it is too late, with untold suffering, sorrow, and regret.

Speak up, speak out, loudly, wherever you can against this demonic evil from “depraved minds”.
I’m prompted to write this because this morning I heard on the radio a doctor refusing to answer five to ten times, “Can a man get pregnant?”.
Just like the Supreme Court nominee who could not answer, “What is a woman?”.

HOW MUCH FAITH DOES IT TAKE ?

There are all kinds of stories and counsel about faith in the Bible.

  • Some great faith—great results.
  • Some weak people, with faith—great results.
  • Some counsel—little faith—great results.
  • Some little faith, rebuked—great results.
  • Some prayers without faith—no results.
  • Some praying early—Jesus.
  • Some praying all night—Jesus.
  • Some praying in a solitary place—Jesus.
  • So, faith takes lots of prayer !

Question:
HOW MUCH FAITH DOES IT TAKE ?

Answer:
All the faith you’ve got, in God Who makes up the difference for what it takes.

Then, do not fail to acknowledge and thank Him for His answers and actions in your life—the big ones and the little ones and the ones different than you asked for.

And faith grows !

Find some Bible verses to say out loud to God over and over—‘wear them out’—God loves to hear us say what He said.

ISAIAH 5:20

This morning (1-13-26) on American Family Radio, Jeff Schreve was illustrating how the democrats/the left totally oppose everything President Trump does, says, stands for. He used Isaiah 5:20 to underscore his point.

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Meaning of Isaiah 5:20

The following copied from the internet, including this disclaimer:
“Auto-generated from sources. May be inaccurate.” (That’s interesting—this time they? got it right.)

“Isaiah 5:20 serves as a warning against moral confusion and the distortion of truth. It highlights the danger of reversing moral values, where what is traditionally seen as good is labeled as evil, and vice versa. This verse addresses the people of Judah, emphasizing the consequences of straying from God’s commandments.

Themes

Moral Relativism: The verse critiques the tendency to redefine morality based on personal or societal preferences rather than absolute truths.

Judgment: The term “woe” indicates a solemn warning of impending judgment for those who mislead others by distorting moral truths.

Spiritual Vigilance: It calls for self-examination and discernment among believers to avoid falling into the trap of accepting falsehoods as truth.

Cultural Context

In the time of Isaiah, the people faced significant moral and spiritual decline. The prophet’s message remains relevant today, urging individuals to uphold biblical values and discern right from wrong amidst cultural pressures.”

PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE ?

Teaching of pre-tribulation rapture says, or implies . . .
— not all the elect will go up in the rapture
— there is a second chance to get saved if you missed the rapture
— people get saved after the rapture, and they experience mega tribulation and martyrdom (but we don’t, we won’t, because we’re gone ?)
— there is a second coming of Jesus and a third coming of Jesus
— we Christians will not escape ‘regular’ tribulation, but we will escape ‘great’ tribulation
— compelling people to get saved to avoid The Great Trbulation supercedes compelling people to get saved to avoid hell
— descriptions in the Bible of The Great Tribulation don’t apply to us who won’t be here (so what’s the point of most of Revelation ?)
— three (or . . .) interpretations or beliefs about the end-times time line are always mentioned first—then, “I believe this way”—and then, every question, every detail is covered definitively as fact
— so other beliefs, other interpretations, are left in the dust, regarded as ridiculous


Question:
What effect does most end-time teaching have on the listener/reader ?


Important:
Teaching about repentance and believing in Jesus for forgiveness so your name is written in heaven—this message must prevail over any emphasis on end-time teaching.

PREACHERS PRACTICED WHAT THEY PREACHED

Preachers practiced the Second Amendment decades before it was written.

In fact, it was the preachers in America that inspired the Revolution, and the Second Amendment, by their actions, and scared King George the most.
King George said so.
