Spend as much time alone with God as you deem Him worthy of.

…..

If God did not exist, life would be futile and meaningless, and it would not exist in the first place.

If God did not exist, you would look back on all your memories of the life you’ve lived and realize it was all for nothing, for soon you will die and cease to exist, and everyone else as well, so it would be as if you never existed, because all your memories would no longer exist, they would have died with you.

…..

The beauty of creation is really His beauty.

And how would you know something is beautiful unless He gave you the ability to know it?

…..

Hyper spirituality leads to false spirituality.

……

I’ve known nominal Christians who’ve mistakenly equated trusting their church denomination with trusting God. They think they both mean the same thing, so if you trust your “church” then you are trusting God.

…..

Ephesians 4:14a “…that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine…”
.
.

Waiting for the next wind of doctrine to blow in from YouTube and fill your sails and carry you further away from knowing Jesus in reality?

A substitute for Him, and something to waste your life pursuing?

……

The early church pattern was in a way that people were confronted with reality, because it was relational.

Today, people don’t want a relational church, but rather a way to avoid reality and still feel blessed.

Like your friend the “Apostle”. If he visited a Biblical church they would ask him on what basis he has made himself to be an Apostle? He wouldn’t like that church. He would only like a church which confirms him in the unreality which he has chosen.

……

How we feel about our enemies is a good indicator of how well we know Jesus Christ.

…..

The righteousness of Christ is imputed to the repentant believer.

This means his guilt has been washed away and he’s empowered to live righteously, abiding in Christ.

…..

Right or wrong is always a question of what is truth, and what is a lie.

Whatever is right is the truth, and whatever is wrong is a lie.

To do what’s wrong is to believe and propagate a lie.

……

Are you having fun?

Well, I’m having joy, so I guess I’m not missing out on any fun.

…..

Mercy rejected means you miss out on mercy and get justice.

You want mercy.

You don’t want justice.

Jesus fulfilled the justice so we can receive forgiveness without God violating His law.

…..

Commented

In a democracy, if enough people decide something is morally right then it becomes morally right. This is a weakness of democracy.

As to rights, churches also have a right not to perform gay marriages if it goes against their beliefs.

……

An amount of time is allocated to every person.

…..

If the HOLY Spirit is in a person He will communicate with them moment by moment.

Christ is our life.

Everything concerning our being is His business.

If the Spirit of God indwells a person then nothing concerning their life can be compartmentalized away from Him – every aspect of their being has to do with Him, and they should be aware of His approval of every word, thought, attitude and action, or His disapproval.

……

Novak fnally allowed into Australia, because it turns out that un __ ed people were never a danger to anyone, and the public were brainwashed into believing they were.

……

Help him/her, LORD, to have a conscience.

…..

Humans know something about love, and even animals know, but we can’t fully grasp what it is, because God is love, and we can’t fully grasp who He is.

BTW, the love of God is totally compatible with the wrath of God. This highlights how limited our true understanding of love is.

From our perspective, God created love, but from His perspective, He is love, so it wasn’t created at all, it’s who He is.

…..

If you’ve got a conscience, that’s all the proof you need that God exists.

Everyone’s conscience witnesses there is a God.

And if there is no God, how do you explain what a conscience is?

How does right or wrong exist without God?

…..

It has been said the “prosperity gospel”, in relation to God, is like marrying someone for their money.

…..

A Christian should never think anything about themselves independent of the LORD. Who are we, as individuals, when we constantly need Him and can do nothing without His help? Without Him we are helpless. What do we amount to, personally, if, without Him, we amount to nothing? We have nothing of ourselves to glory in, only Him.

…..

The Bible teaches conformity to Christ, as opposed to conformity to the world (see Rom. 8:29, 12:2).

If we are conformed to the world, who are we conformed to?

You guessed it.

…..

Read today:

“Paul sees all kinds of sins in himself and all kinds of accomplishments too, but he refuses to connect either with his ultimate identity.”

This nearly hits the mark, but not quite.

“Sins in himself”?

When Paul said, “In my flesh dwells no good thing” and that he denied his flesh, he was not admitting he was committing “all kinds of sin”, for if that had been the case he would have been a hypocrite. As far as Paul’s past goes he admitted he was a criminal. As for his present, he said, “I have lived with all good conscience before God until this day” (Acts 23:1).

It’s true that Paul’s identity was in Christ alone and not in what he had done or not done. He was a child or son of God who also just happened to be an Apostle.

Liberals love to imply that Paul was living in sin because they think it kind of justifies their sinful lifestyles.

……

Christians love their country, and yet their citizenship is in Heaven.

…..

A Christian can never say they weren’t supplied enough grace to face their circumstances.

…..

If we struggle with prayer there’s no shame in that – it’s only shame if we give up the struggle and cease to pray.

……

“Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” (Romans 11:22)

Which will you choose to experience, His goodness or severity? Everyone will experience either.

We shouldn’t let one attribute obscure the other.

God is love, and He also is Holy.

Oftentimes the goodness of God is redefined and perverted to mean God will cater to your lusts.

…..

If God is whoever you imagine him to be then all you have is an imaginary god.

….

Democracy is better than the alternatives, and yet it’s also the vehicle through which a society can choose its own destruction.

……

“See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:15-16)

So, the fool wastes the time God has given him. Implied here that if he wastes his time he gravitates toward evil.

…..

Your spiritual life is your life.

…..

You want to be happy now, but God wants you to be happy through all eternity, and this is His promise in Jesus Christ.

…..

Honor should be reserved for those who deserve it, and not for those who seek it.

…..

It’s good to understand the last days, and even better to understand that today could be your last day and to be ready to stand before Jesus Christ.

……

Ultimately, everything gets settled in a higher court.

…..

With church (assembly) there should always be this sense of what the Head of the Church desires for His church.

…….

The Bible really only has one subject…

Him.

The message is about Him, not us.

…..

A sad part about traditional Christianity is that multitudes think that the traditions they cling to were instituted by God.

…..

The more we comprehend the greatness of God, the less impressed we are with great people.

…..

Paul faced discouragement at times, but he snapped out of it. And to be fair, the things he faced were much tougher than what we face, so, therefore, he had perhaps more grounds for discouragement than we.

The cure for discouragement is to accept with joy the fact that you have been called to be a
bond-servant of Jesus Christ, so unless you are discouraged with Him, then what grounds do you have for discouragement? He will never let you down, so there’s no grounds for discouragement with Him. But if others let you down there’s still no grounds for discouragement because you don’t serve them, they are not your master. Live unto the LORD alone, like Paul did, and discouragement will be temporary, not permanent.

…..

As the Holy Spirit is not materialistic, the materialistic Christian has not much clue about the Holy Spirit.

…..

We sometimes think we are hindered from having a ministry, then we remember that the Holy Spirit is not hindered.

…..

Christianity and the Gospel rests upon Jesus Christ, alone.

And so do you and I.

What will you look like 100 years from now?

….

Read today:

“If a man thinks he is not conceited, he is very conceited indeed.”

…..

“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.” (2 Corinthians 13:5)

.

What are the ramifications for our lives if Jesus Christ lives in us?

…..

Looking at history ya think, What a bunch of savages!

Let’s see what the savages are planning next.

……

“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.” (Proverbs 8:13)

If we don’t have the fear of the LORD then we don’t have the love of the LORD.

Unless we hate evil we don’t know the love of God.

…..

“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years” (Revelation 20:1-2)

The text tells us that just one angel is required to arrest the devil and take him into custody and keep him in jail, ceasing his worldwide power in just one simple operation.

Only one angel is needed for this great task because this one angel is an agent of God, sent by God to do this task, therefore he has all of God’s power behind him to effectively fulfill the task. It’s not about the strength of the angel, it’s a question of whose power and authority he is sent in.

The same goes with us if we are ambassadors or emissaries of Christ.

…..

When we pray for someone do we fully appreciate the value of their soul?

…..

God has some rules.

And we broke them.

Threw them back in His face.

His rules reflect His nature – who He is.

…..

“I am with you always” is enough for my soul to live upon no matter who forsakes me.

–Charles Spurgeon

……

To redefine God’s word is to redefine God and therefore end up with a false god.

…..

How do you feel when people trust you? You feel good, because it’s an expression of love.

Then, how does Jesus feel when people trust and believe Him? How does the Father feel?

……

“There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness.”

Proverbs 30:12

…..

Over a 24 hr period, how much time would you talk to God?

…..

“For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.” (Hebrews 12:3)

Then we won’t become weary and discouraged in our souls.

…..

Matthew 22:37-39
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

This should describe our life. Our life should be described as such: Here is a person who loves God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, and truly loves everyone.

….

If you were the devil, what kind of religion would you invent to get people to worship you while they think they are worshipping God?

Probably one where people have no moral restraints but can still feel spiritual.

This is the final ace up his sleeve:

You can be spiritual and immoral at the same time.

How? By redefining God’s word.

The emerging world religion redefines Biblical love.

It is based on a perversion of what the love of God means.

“Love Wins” …. maybe some have heard of that?

Ultimately, the definition of “love” will be to conform to a universal faith and government.

Haters will be those who follow the Jesus of the Bible These will be deemed as threats to humanity.

We are seeing it emerge right now.

Anyone who questions the left wing narrative is “fact checked” then banned because they don’t conform to the “community standard”.

……

If you know God cares for you then you know He cares for everyone.

……

Man has a problem with God called sin.

Jesus removed that problem.

…..

When you read the philosophers of history it’s good to ask, Where are they now?

…..

No matter how much God works in a person’s life it doesn’t turn them into a “god” because all His works in us are works of His grace and totally unmerited, therefore He gets all the credit, not the person.

…..

Imagine trying to “escape” from God or deny His existence when He’s the One who gives you every breath?

…..

Money preachers and commercial prophets embody the dreams of those Christians who desire to be rich, who see in them a formula to “get” God to make them rich, not understanding that in doing so they’re becoming just as much a fraud as the preacher they follow.

…..

The Holy Spirit lives in us (who follow Christ) and He doesn’t need reviving, but we do, so, it’s going to be through Him we are revived.

…..

God so loved the world…

You’re in the world, right?

So, if God so loved the world, that would include you, right?

Check it out in John 3:16..

…..

“But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” (Luke 19:40)

Think of the application for our personal lives today.

…..

As the church (the people who have Christ living in them) goes through persecution then the vital things will take preeminence over the trivial.

….

Eternity is the real deal.
