One of the secrets of joy is to share in the joy of another.

……

Enduring hardship for the One who was crucified for us seems perfectly reasonable.

Looking at Jesus ministry, the healings and deliverance were indeed signs of who He was/is, and yet they were not only signs or proofs.. “Signs” was only one aspect of the miraculous. The other aspect was the compassion of God on the sick and oppressed.

In other words, signs were not purely for proving who Jesus is, but also an expression of Gods compassion.

Today we shouldn’t be thinking that signs or the miraculous prove anything, we should be thinking of compassion, mercy and the glory of God.

Signs don’t prove anything today because:

a. The Gospel has already been proved by Jesus rising from the dead.

b. The word of God has already been established through the original Apostles. Signs do not confirm any preacher or teacher today.

c. The devil can also do signs and wonders.

Consider both of these scriptures together:

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Eph. 2:8-9)

And…

“For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” (Jude 4-5)

In the context of Jude, he is talking about members and some leaders of the church at that time, who, even though they confessed Jesus as Lord, and said they believed in the grace of God, did not have genuine faith.

Their “faith” resulted in immorality. Their understanding of “grace” led them to justify all kinds of sin. They had a false gospel.

Salvation is by grace, through GENUINE faith.

Genuine faith is a pure and holy faith. It will never justify sin. It will never try to find a loophole from the Bible to try and excuse it.

There are famous preachers who claim to have the GRACE message who’ve made millions of dollars merchandising it.

That’s not genuine saving faith.

Genuine saving faith will shun covetousness and the love of money.

They have turned the grace of God into a license for their sin.

I’m very happy to have eternal life.

I’m very happy to have a part in Christ’s kingdom which will never end.

“Canadian lawmakers pass bill criminalizing LGBT conversion therapy”

What a violation of human rights!

So, it’s legal to brainwash youth into it, but illegal for them to seek help if they want to get out of it?

……

Those who have no clue about the Bible have no clue about what is happening in the world.

Let every sport association allow the women to vote as to whether they want to compete against men.

The only hope for anyone is they be born again.

Ancient Israel needed a Deliverer.

We need that same Deliverer and Defender.

Sin is the greatest existential threat to society.

A society collapses due to the combined effect of many individuals living in sin – it is as sick as the individuals which comprise it.

Jesus Christ is the only answer.

That’s what He said.

“Why won’t anybody in the Biden administration answer whether or not they believe an unborn baby is a human being?”

Compliance: the mantra of the New World Order.

How compliant are you?

Are your thoughts, beliefs and values compliant?

“IRS rules that ‘Bible’s Teachings … Affiliated With The Republican Party’ “

I hope you understand what this means.

It’s so stupid that one would think it would backfire on the Dems, but don’t hold your breath.

We can be surrounded by proofs or evidence of God’s love for us and yet be totally ignorant of it.

……

Grace produces graciousness.

Love produces love.

Forgiveness produces forgiveness.

We reflect what we possess.

…….

Eternity is what really matters.

……

We don’t want to see anyone condemned before God’s judgment throne. We want to see all saved through faith in Jesus Christ.

……

Sin has no future, literally. The future world will not have one unrighteous person living in it, the Bible says. Everyone will love God and each other.

…….

How can a person be filled with the Holy Spirit and yet be vehemently against His supernatural workings?

……

Who determines moral standards?

Jesus asked His countrymen, When you went out into the wilderness to see John the Baptist, what did you go out to see?

It seems the question is twofold:

What was your motivation for going to see John?

And, in what way did you expect to benefit from seeing John?

We could ask the same questions today about our lives.

When you went to the movies, what did you go to see?

When you went to church, what did you go to see?

When you went to school, what did you go to see?

And so on.

Why are we interested in things?

It’s good to know why we are interested in something.

…..

Here’s a faulty rationale: The Jews will rebuild the Temple, make animal sacrifices, and the Antichrist will rule from it, therefore, anyone who supports the right of Israelis to live in the Biblical land of Israel must be a supporter of the Antichrist, and believe that animal sacrifices are necessary.

No. Supporting Israel’s right to exist does not equate with supporting everything Israelis believe or do.

I believe all we need to do is pray for their salvation, extend the Gospel to them, stand up for them when they are lied about, maligned or hated, and the rest is in God’s hand.

Mine or your beliefs will not have one iota of effect in determining Bible prophecy.
