The Antichrist or Beast will be revealed on the day when Christendom has fallen away from the truth and been conditioned enough to accept him as the messiah of the world.
The second coming of Jesus Christ is a day closer than it was yesterday. The date has been set by the Father. This is our date with destiny, an appointment every person will keep.
How much love for God do we have in our hearts?
You either have Jesus’ LIFE freely given to you, or you are still dead in your sins.
Now, if you do have His LIFE in you, is this a full-time or part-time LIFE? On again, off again? In church, out of church? In worship, out of worship? Sometimes alive to God, sometimes dead to God?
We can’t switch Jesus’ LIFE off like a light bulb, but we can ignore, neglect or disobey Him. Know that He shares His very LIFE for us to live by.
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. If thou forbear to deliver THEM THAT ARE DRAWN UNTO DEATH, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
(Proverbs 24:10-12)
Let’s consider those we know whom are presently being DRAWN UNTO DEATH and pray for them and give them God’s word. There’s plenty of them.
They tried to escape religion and make church hip and cool, but then finally realized that all they did was create another form of religion.
You would think that if Jesus and His truth were in someone’s heart and mind, and they thought a lot about God and His words, that they would have something to say about Him and His truth?
Everything in the true Christian life is freely given by Jesus and received by us, and we can’t take any credit for receiving, and there’s no credit given for receiving, and yet receive we must, by the faith given by God.
When God commands, He doesn’t do it for us, but He wants us to believe that He does the work.
Life is not a role-playing game where you can play God.
When you are in right relationship to Jesus Christ there is no Biblical truth which disturbs your peace: to the contrary, all of His words are peace to you.
Anything you love more than God is your god.
Greg Bahnsen says:
Only with an inerrant autograph can we avoid attributing error to the God of truth. An error in the original would be attributable to God Himself, because He, in the pages of Scripture, takes responsibility for the very words of the biblical authors. Errors in copies, however, are the sole responsibility of the scribes involved, in which case God’s veracity is not impugned.
God takes responsibility for the very words of the biblical authors.
As Christians, it’s commitment to something false which has a blinding effect.
A comment i made on FB: There are true spiritual experiences from the Holy Spirit, but it’s not accurate to describe this true experience as “feeling the presence of God” as in a transient experience or a sensual (5 senses) experience. I’ve met Baptists who have no way to relate to a testimony of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and on the other hand met plenty of people with counterfeit experiences, and some with true experiences and true gifts.
Definitions also matter. In one sense, everything of the Holy Spirit is a spiritual experience. To know the love of God is a spiritual experience. To understand and receive revelation of the truth is a spiritual experience, and yet it’s not a sensual one. In one sense, how could the One true Living God come to live in a person and they have no spiritual experience? It gets messy due to the fact that people experiencing counterfeit things usually have never had a true spiritual encounter with God.
I would go so far as to say that the ministry of the Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of Christ indwelling us, our spiritual UNION with Christ, means we can experience God even when we don’t feel God.
Let’s repeat: Our spiritual UNION with Christ means we can experience God even when we don’t feel God.
“The Spirit itself BEARS WITNESS WITH OUR SPIRIT, that we are the children of God.” (Romans 8:16)
“Interfaith” implies other faiths are valid, when they aren’t.
We can love all people without validating their false beliefs.
The Bible says, both, that God is Sovereign, and man is responsible and accountable to God, but the Bible never explains this apparent paradox, nor does it ask us to try and figure out how it can be, and there’s no Biblical grounds or mandate to form doctrines and denominations from human interpretations of this mystery.
It’s also important to understand what the Bible doesn’t teach or mandate us to teach, and take heed not to do those things.
Ya know, the greatest blessing we could receive today is to have OUR EYES OPENED to see the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, who was dead and who is alive and who is coming, the Almighty: His name is Jesus.
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:28-29)
THE MORE GRACE WE HAVE, THE MORE GODLY FEAR WE HAVE.
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:30-31)
Perfect love casts out all fear, and yet it will still be a fearful thing to stand before the judgment seat of Christ, when we will have to give an account of our life openly before the infinite Glory of the Living God, where angels cry, Holy! Holy! Holy!
I wonder, when people are so loose about the fear of God if they have ever experienced His majestic, infinite glory?
