Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
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 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.)
“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.
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.”
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 ! ! !
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.
Try saying that, first thing in the morning, and perhaps during the day—
—before or after saying the verse, “casting all your cares upon Him, because He cares for you.”
The proof, the test, of casting all your cares upon God—
—can you, will you, then say, “I don’t have a care in the world.”?
– – –
Had to add this a few days later:
“I don’t have a care in the world—I just have a job to do, in front of me right now, given by God.”
You see, I’m working for Him—He’s my boss—I’m not in charge—It’s not up to me to figure things out—I just follow His orders—So, I must ask Him for orders, about everything—Then I don’t have a care in the world.
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”
In every situation there is a helpful Bible verse.
A particular Bible verse may not be helpful in every situation.
– – –
In your own situations where you need help, don’t feel constrained to cram answers or solutions into your problem when they don’t fit (just because the person offering them seems to know a lot and be ahead of you in their walk of faith).
Likewise, when you are trying to help someone in need, don’t rush to share the first verse or insight that comes to your mind.
It is not likely that you will miss an opportunity if you don’t say it real quick.
– – –
For any help to be helpful, advice and Bible verses and physical actions must convey “bearing each other’s burdens, and so [that is how we are] fulfilling the law of Christ”.
Both the helper and the one in need of help should sense this—caring and bearing—and then, advising and quoting.
October 2019
— Before the rest of us heard about covid and a pandemic, there was a secret meeting in the U.S. of ‘one-world’ minded elites, to plan how they would handle the coming pandemic and use it for their purposes.
March 2020
— Covid-19 arrived, was declared a pandemic, and triggered a host of mandates and controls that devastated economies and the well-being of millions who conformed and buckled—pre-planned power grab.
— This gave just enough time to seriously impact/control the election in eight months, with mail-in ballots mailed-out en masse and collected by ? ? ? en masse, etc.
November 2020
— The outcome of the all-important election was indeed affected, altered according to plan, and immediately changed the course of American history—to orchestrate and expedite the downfall of the greatest nation ever.
– – –
October 2023
— That would be right now.
— People are planning the next pandemic, and not so secretly, and talking about it.
— They are counting on the people accepting their plan and following their rules again.
— They are building a repeat of fear—fear of disease and death—fear of losing livelihood and everyday living.
— They are talking about masks and vaccines all over again—so people get used to it, again.
? ? ? 2024
— Uncertainty of when the next shoe falls, when the balloon goes up, when the next pandemic hits, keeps the people just where the controllers want them—dependent, for survival.
— But, some people are not going to buy the threats of consequences for not following ridiculous orders, this time.
— But, but, how many sheeple complied with unhealthy masks and isolation just three years ago, beyond logic and beyond their personal convictions.
— In light of the power of technology to track and control just about everything and everybody, the flow of goods and services for our very survival can be manipulated by the puppet masters already in charge.
— And, when faced with hunger from shortages, and panic from travel restrictions outside your house, people are still known to sacrifice freedom for food.
November 2024
— In light of the power of technology to track and control just about everything and everybody, we no longer have confidence in guaranteed fair and free elections.
— So, which will it be—our continued demise, with demonic forces operating through individuals currently in charge in this country——or——serious, complete return to the God of the Bible, the God of our forefathers, in repentance for our sins ?
“Let anyone who thinks he is standing, take heed, lest he fall.”
“Pride goes before a fall, and a haughty spirit before destruction.”
“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
“Humble yourselves before the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time; [how?] casting all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.”
