SUNRISE – – – RARE – – – ONLY ONCE

December 18, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Declare to yourself a new appreciation for this new day.

Declare to God a new thanks in awe for this new day.

The sunrise today is very rare—the sun comes up only once today.

Today is a very rare day—there is only one ‘today.’

Something so rare—one-of-a-kind—is extremely valuable.

Today is more valuable than any other day of your life.

Why?

Because this is the day that the Lord has made—for you.

He does not promise another one.

Maybe someone reading this—maybe the person writing this—will catch a glimpse of inspiration, of rejoicing in this day, of trusting the One Who gave it.

Today is the only chance we have to “be glad in it.”

INFANT BAPTISM – – – ? GUARANTEE ?

December 18, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Infant baptism sends more people to hell than heaven.

– – –

Some professional survey organization should track statistics of infant baptized people, and how many lived for Jesus till they died.

– – –

The giveaway church practice that prompts and proves the opening statement above is this:

Every church that baptized someone as an infant will blanketly declare at their funeral that the person is in heaven because the church administered that baptism.

– – –

That funeral statement not only declares church authority to guarantee heaven by their ritual, but also gives false hope to all in the audience if they do what that church says—it’s not really about a personal decision to follow Jesus.

That gets tacked on a dozen years after baptism, hopefully.

– – –

But if the person in the casket stuck with the church enough to qualify for the church funeral, then they probably stuck with the church long enough to do the second routine ritual—‘reaffirmation’ confirmation—at 12 years or so, like everybody else (good church members).

And that will also be declared publicly at the funeral, as further guarantee of heaven.

– – –

If the church says you’re in heaven, you’re in ? ? ?

? COMEBACK AFTER COMPROMISE ?

November 23, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Can a person have a comeback and return to the narrow road after compromising to fit in with the Godless culture and appease its leaders?

Can a company have a comeback and return to the narrow road after compromising to fit in with the Godless culture and appease its leaders?

Not likely.

 

The cost is great for standing on Biblical values and standing up for them publicly now in sodomized America.

This is true for individuals and for companies—and companies are led by individuals.

 

The leaders of Chik-fil-A took a lot of heat for standing on Biblical values, and for stating so publicly.

But that will be nothing compared to the increased heat, the pounding, they will now face from the Godless culture leaders after their compromise this week.

AND, even that will be nothing compared to the persecution they will experience if they come back to the Bible, and declare it publicly, like they did before.

But they will again have God’s approval, God’s smile, and the overwhelming support of Christians who created the long lines at Chik-fil-A in the first place—an ongoing trademark at their restaurants.

 

Just how does this apply to the rest of us?

That depends on whether we follow Jesus and His Word?

“All who live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.”

“Do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is going to try you.”

 

So, “Choose this day whom you will serve.”

“CAST ALL YOUR CARES . . .”

November 13, 2019 By Leave a Comment

“Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.”

That verse always sounded like a peaceful prayer, quietly relaxing to show that you are turning everything over to God.

Maybe so, but that doesn’t fit my reality very often.  It seems like another requirement to get in just the right faith mode before God, so you can show you’ve let your troubles go.

More likely—a desperate scream for help at wits end does the job better.

“GOD HELP!”

“I CAN’T DO THIS!”

Not pretty—not to show others we got it all together.

Brutal honesty—total dependency—so God can take over.

SWEET, SWEET TIME WITH JESUS

September 11, 2019 By Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever had a warm, special interaction with your child on your lap, and then noticed the precious one was asleep, then you can catch what a sweet, sweet time with Jesus is like.

If you fall asleep talking with Jesus (praying and reading your Bible), you’ve experienced the best of the best here on earth.

“GOD BLESS AMERICA”

September 11, 2019 By Leave a Comment

God bless America, land that I love.

Stand beside her, and guide her

Through this night with a light from above.

 

From the mountains, to the prairies,

To the oceans white with foam,

God bless America, my home sweet home (temporarily).

EXTRA-BIBLICAL “CHRISTIANITY”

September 11, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Catholicism—continually add something to the Bible for Catholics to follow.

Denominations—emphasize what makes them unique with apparent exclusive corner on truth.

Near Death Experiences—impressive individual experience must be the way to follow.

David Brackin—friend, gone, claimed a personal meeting with Jesus, but the Bible is junk.

Mormonism—their leader got the only correct revelation from God.

Jehovah’s Witness—their leader got the only correct revelation from God.

Islam—their leader got the only correct revelation from God (don’t claim Christianity).

Chrislam—invent impossible common ground between Christianity and Islam.

‘Christian’ Yoga—claim the rituals have no spiritual impact.

“I believe . . .”—free to come up with anything, and expect God to be okay with it.

‘Christian’ lgbt—conveniently bypass everything that does not approve, endorse the lifestyle.

Just Love—selectively exclude sin, confession, repentance.

“PERSONAL” TESTIMONY

September 11, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Ask people to share their spiritual conversion experience.

Divide their responses into two categories.

One—Jesus, the Word of God, the Bible is central to their testimony—consistent with other Christians’ experience.

Two—Doing what the church (or some variation thereof) told them to do is central to their testimony—unique to following their particular, stated religious brand.

 

Repeat from previous articles:

It will become harder to be a Christian, but it will become easier to clearly tell who is a Christian.

IS BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE POLITICAL?

September 11, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Biblical perspective is directly opposite the democrat platform of today.

Biblical perspective is directly opposite most democrats of today.

Biblical perspective is directly opposite all the democrat presidential candidates of today.

In most cases there is an lgbt required endorsement for a democrat to hold office or run for office.

Biblical perspective is also becoming increasingly unwelcome in business.

Biblical perspective is even becoming marginalized and silenced in the church.

Inclusion has fooled nearly everyone by concealing the politically correct working definition.

Now, inclusion means mandatorily including lgbt and militantly excluding Christianity.

And “abortion is a sacred right”*—the sacrament** of the prevailing religion of sex and tolerance.

 

Is Biblical Perspective Political?

Biblical Perspective is not ambiguous.

Biblical Perspective is Biblical.

Culture and politics react to Biblical Perspective, when it is proclaimed and practiced, but they do not change Biblical Truth.

 

*Bill Diblasio, mayor of New York

**sacrament—commemorating or practicing a sacrifice of life

EVERYBODY’S “TIRED”

August 4, 2019 By Leave a Comment

It seems like one after another of my friends have been complaining of being tired lately.

Then I understood that it’s a coordinated spiritual oppression—a prelude to persecution.

The enemy of our souls tries to make us feel alone, weak, to divide and then to conquer.

The antidote, our response is to share and declare opposition.

Take a stand in advance against the unseen evil forces working on us—in advance of visible spiritual warfare.
