ASSURANCE
February 7, 2026 By Leave a Comment
For the things I most need assurance about, I must not depend on what someone tells me in their words or in doctrinal statements.
The Words of God in the Bible must be sufficient on their own without added human words to make them count in my life and in my mind.
Any time any teacher explains the Bible, it is vital to end with the Bible Words again, so the listeners or readers go out remembering God’s Words ringing in their mind and soul, not the teacher’s words or revered theologians’ words.
–
In most cases, classic doctrine issues are labeled with human words and discussed with human words, with Bible references to prove the theology.
–
The Bible says, “. . .”
The Bible says, “. . .”
The Bible says, “. . .”
☆ That must be the trademark of every pastor, teacher, evangelist, leader.
☆ That is the secret of power.
☆ It is not intelligence, education, understanding, revelation.
God put this is focus for Paul, the writer of much in the Bible.
“LEST I SHOULD BE EXALTED ABOVE MEASURE through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of satan to buffet me, LEST I SHOULD BE EXALTED ABOVE MEASURE.”
If you want to get hold of the rest of the story, and consider application in your own life, read on—
Then Paul describes what it took for God to complete His purpose in his life.
“For this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times, that it might be taken away from me.
And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.’
Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong.”
AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT
February 7, 2026 By Leave a Comment
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.’”
RECYCLING – – – GOOD, BAD, UGLY
January 25, 2026 By Leave a Comment
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 – – –
January 15, 2026 By Leave a Comment
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?”.
PRAY !
Our only hope !
Yesterday Franklin Graham called for a national day of prayer.

HOW MUCH FAITH DOES IT TAKE ?
January 14, 2026 By Leave a Comment
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.
FOLLOW JESUS and FEAR GOD ?
January 14, 2026 By Leave a Comment
Decide to follow Jesus !
LEARN to fear God !
Walk closer with Jesus !
Father in heaven, give me the Holy Spirit !
He will give good things to those who ask Him !
Jesus’ disciples were learning Truth for three years walking with Jesus.
When Jesus was sleeping in the back of the boat (hmmm), violently tossed by the wind and waves washing over the boat—the scared disciples woke Him saying, “Don’t you care that we drown ?”
When Jesus commanded the storm to stop—instant calm—and rebuked His disciples for little faith—they were more terrified by this than by the storm !
“They feared exceedingly and said to each other, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
“Fear of God” is all over the Bible.
“Call on Me, and I will show you great and mighty things which you do not know.”
He wants to do that in your life and mine.
Our God is an Awesome God, today !
“FEAR OF MAN” PLUS
January 14, 2026 By Leave a Comment
“The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD will be safe.”
Not long ago I learned this Bible verse, and I use it every day—because it is the Word of God, and God’s Word has power in our lives.
I find that “the fear of man” includes a lot more than just being afraid that someone might physically hurt me.
Fear of Man includes—
— Expectations of others.
— Expectations of me, influenced by others.
— Thinking what others may think, consumes too much of my thinking.
