Churches should be as close to real life as possible, to equip people for real life.

…..

Even if we’re non-conformists by nature, we still need to conform to Christ by conforming with His truth. We need to bend. The proud person will not bend.

…..

If the LORD Jesus is the greatest joy of our life then we are connected to the true source of joy.

…..

Life in Christ’s eternal Kingdom is something like this life, only much better. It would be a supreme tragedy if you missed out.

It’s life as God had always intended it to be.

The life we have lived has been corrupted by sin, by our sin and the sin of others.

It’s barely a life compared to how life is lived up there.

There’s some differences, like you don’t get married there.

Also there’s no temple there in the Holy City, implying the practice of religious rituals has ceased.

No police either.

No rent to pay. You get a free house.

Never sin, never get sick, never die.

….

The moment we are born again we discover that the Jesus of history happens to still be very much alive.

“You must be born again!”, Jesus said.

…..

If a pregnant woman is punched in the stomach and the baby dies, that’s legally and rightfully defined as the murder of the child.

But if a doctor rips that same baby apart then it’s supposedly not murder.

See what we’re dealing with?

A society which believes evil is good, and good is evil.

…..

There wouldn’t be much of a problem in observing man-made traditions if we made it very clear they are indeed man-made and not given by God. If churches announced that every man-made tradition is exactly that, and not instituted by God, then perhaps people would start asking why they bother with things God never instituted?

……

Philippians 3:18-19
“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.”

Or… “…they think only about this life here on earth.”

We have to think about this life here on earth.

But enemies of the Cross think about their life here on earth to the exclusion of thinking about God and His truth.

We first need to worship God and seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, and then He will guide how we should think about our life here on earth.

Enemies of the Cross don’t necessarily reject the Bible, prayer or church attendance, but they only see these things in terms of them getting the things they want in life, as a means to a worldly end, because they have “set their mind on earthly things”.

…..

The “Christian” who lusts after gold will, ironically, never walk the streets of gold.

……

It’s a false assumption to assume someone doesn’t have love simply because you don’t like what they’re saying. It would then be that the only loving people are those who tell you what you want to hear. Maybe it’s come to that?

…..

1 John 5:21
“Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”

In other words, don’t become an idol worshipper.

An idol is not God.

To serve or worship something which is not God is idolatry.

…..

Jesus said: “Because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold”.

Seems to imply that the love of many believers becomes cold because they are affected by the lawlessness they see around them. It doesn’t seem to imply the believers become directly lawless, but, rather, their love becomes cold, and this opens them up to the possibility of becoming lawless by making them weak and vulnerable.

The church in Ephesus (Rev. 2) left its first love, and yet was not lawless.

Had they not repented of losing their first love it would have led to lawlessness.

So, somehow, believers choose to see stuff they shouldn’t and their love becomes cold.

…..

Colossians 1:10
“…that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God…”

This means every thought, word, attitude and deed should be worthy of Him.

It’s funny how some groups or individuals are never censored for their hatespeech, while others are falsely accused of it?

……

Rigging the news is like a back door way of rigging elections.

…..

A brother who is against Christians voting writes: “The vote is an instrument used in making the people acquiesce in everything done legally by their elected officials.”

If this logic be true, then when you obey the laws of a government you would be acquiesing to everything done by that government. And this is obviously not true.

Then, to be sure you are not acquiesing to the government, you would have to willfully disobey every law of that government so that you can be clear in your conscience that you’ve not shown your approval or signaled any acknowledgement of the validity of that government.

Interpretations of the end times or Christ’s return should not affect the urgency of the Gospel message, because of the simple fact that today could be the last day and the last chance for those you’re preaching to.

Absolutely fantastic!

A person is daily taking steps in life and God is daily taking delight in watching them, and it is He who is ordering each step: which is, to guide, bless and establish each step of life.

The film “Fail Safe” (1964) is a fictional account of a nuclear standoff between America and Russia. It depicts how much responsibility falls directly on the President, as Commander in Chief, as the one who must make instant critical decisions in the event of a nuclear incident or showdown. It shows the terrible pressure a President could come under to safely handle such an event and steer the world away from nuclear Armageddon. Americans should choose a man who could handle the pressure of such an incident. Her enemies see a cognitively challenged, often incoherent man shouldering this immense responsibility, and perhaps they see it as an opportunity?

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 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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

“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.

This is the first and great commandment.

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.

Saw today the “pillars of creation” images from the James Webb Space Telescope. Two things came to mind: The images are 6500 light years away, so they are images of what it looked like 6500 years ago. And they report to have proof of stars forming in these images. So, we have proof stars were forming as recently as 6500 years ago. Interesting from a Biblical perspective.

Young stars, young planets?

It’s interesting that we can see back in time, as it were, to around the time the Bible says creation happened.

If this pic proves there are young stars then there also must be young planets.

Let’s see a pic from 7000 light years away.

If I’m asked, ‘Do I believe in a young earth?’, I would answer that with a question, Did Jesus believe in a young earth?

What Jesus believed is reliable, for He is the incarnate Son of God, God in the flesh.

In John 10:35 He said, “the scripture cannot be broken”.

It’s recorded on numerous occasions that He held the Jewish scriptures up as the authoritative word of God.

He never edited the book of Genesis.

So, my point is, because of who Jesus Christ is, you’re on safe ground if you believe what He believed.

And you’re wrong if you don’t.

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

False equivalence: Many people have falsely predicted the date of Jesus’ return, therefore this is proof He is not returning soon.

No. It doesn’t prove a thing regarding His return.

Or is it a Strawman?

There’s a false equivalence when people say that the fact that the Old Covenant has been superceded by the New Covenant means God has finished with the Jewish people and has no plan to save the nation and bring them into the New Covenant..

…or to say that the present blindness of the Jews in seeking to restart the OT sacrificial system is a proof that the reformation of Israel has no prophetic significance…

False logic.

“Why isn’t the opposite of ‘pro-life’ referred to as ‘pro-death’?”

“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” (Titus 2:11-14)

No theological jargon here, such as people get tied up with nowadays. We’re looking for Jesus to return, described as His “glorious appearing”. A secret return would not be a “glorious appearing”.

This is our blessed hope. All generations were expected, by God, to be looking for Jesus’ glorious appearing.

And those who died in Christ were not disappointed, for to be “absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”.

And if we should die before Jesus returns we’ll also not be disappointed, and will miss out on nothing.

For when Christ returns He is bringing all those who died in Christ with Him.

He “redeems us from every lawless deed”. He purifies us by washing us in His own blood.

And He gives us a holy zeal to do His good works, to express His goodness to others.

“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” (John 8:44)

The devil was once an Archangel. He was the first liar, and kind of invented lying. He created a lie in his own mind and believed the lie he created. No one lied to him, he thought up the concept all by himself.

Imagine creating a lie and then believing it, knowing it’s a lie?

The devil knows he is lying, but his children don’t seem to know that their father has conned them.

The devil created lying, and therefore it’s in his DNA to lie, and to cause his children to believe a lie.

So, there is a dubious, dark, shadowy spiritual inheritance we have inherited from our father, the devil.

We need to exchange this father of liars for the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We need a new heart.

If we cannot accept what Jesus said then we don’t love the truth. His truth only hurts and offends those still clinging to a lie.

Yes, God has entirely done away with the Old Covenant by making a New Covenant with the house of Israel. This is the future destiny for the house of Israel, to come into the New Covenant. This is the divine purpose behind God’s promises to Israel, to bring them back into their own land. Jerusalem shall be trodden under the feet of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles is fulfilled. After the Gentiles have had their opportunity to come into Christ, then it is time for the Jewish people, lastly, to also come into Christ. The Jews will continue to be blinded to the Gospel until the full number of Gentiles comes into the Kingdom. So, they are returning to their land in a blind condition. God is leading them there even though they are blind. And in their blind condition they will seek to build a third Temple and perform animal sacrifices. But this won’t last very long because God will fulfill His promise to the nation to save them as a people. So, it’s folly to think that the present blindness of Israel means God has finished with them. It’s a false logic and a delusion.

See Romans 11.

So… there’s a false equivalence when people say that the fact the Old Covenant has been superceded by the New Covenant then that means God has finished with the Jewish people and has no plan to save the nation and bring them into the New Covenant..

…or to say that the present blindness of the Jews in seeking to restart the OT sacrificial system is a proof that the reformation of Israel has no prophetic significance…

False logic.

Luke 21:24 “And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”

The times of the Gentiles are rapidly coming to a conclusion, which we see in the level of apostasy and delusion in Christendom, though the times and seasons are under the Father’s authority.

The times of the Gentiles coming to a conclusion has to be chronologically linked to the imminent destruction of Babylon (America – phony commercial church – RCC).

In times past there have been notable outpourings of the Holy Spirit, such as the Welsh Revival or the Isle of Lewis Revival, and at these times whole communities came under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

What is transpiring when God is working all things for good in someone’s life?

It shows that God’s love covers their whole life and existence.

It shows God’s plan for their life is always under active pursuit and involvement by God.

It shows that God is never passive concerning performing His will and purpose for those who love Him.

And it shows He is not passive in working good in our lives, so that we always experience His goodness toward us, and, in turn, have His goodness worked into our nature.

It shows that our circumstances, however daunting, are not outside His purpose of working all things together for good.

However, when you come together as the assembly (church) get straight into prayer and the word of God.

A few songs would be fine, singing to one another in scriptural songs.

On the Queen’s passing

After hearing the news of the Queen’s passing, and getting alone to process it, I must admit I got a little teary, like as in losing a friend.

She has always been there. Some of our earliest childhood memories concern the Queen.

Personally, I wouldn’t call her a leader. I don’t think she led anyone. I would call her a figurehead of an era, a more civilized era.

Whatever you believe about empires, it will make no difference as to their existence or continuity.

Just a passing thought: if you were in her shoes, born for the throne, living in the lap of luxury all your life, never having to do any physical labor, having everyone bow to you…. and this is how you lived for 96 years… would you still be a gracious and humble person?

Worship

“God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us…” (Acts 17:24-27)

Man can’t give anything to God because He already owns everything.

When man looks up at the vastness of the universe does he think he can lend God a helping hand?

Man can only receive from God.

Man must believe God.

A true worshiper of God in Christ understands that there’s nothing they have which they did not receive (see 1 Cor. 4:7).

“For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.” (Jer. 2:13)

(A cistern was a drinking water tank)

They went after a substitute for God.

This can be in the worldly or spiritual sense: money, fame and sex can be just as much an idol as a religious statue can.

And religious activity can also become an idol, a substitute for God.

How many things in modern life are substitutes for God?

The LORD said, “They have forsaken me”.

They replaced Him.

And in doing so they no longer could drink at the fountain of living water. They were trying to drink from a supply of their own making.

And if you don’t drink the living water then you have no life.

A promise like this takes on a whole new perspective in a time of famine or financial collapse.

“Seek first” means our top priority in life.

When people gaze at the wonderful pics of deep space some may wonder about whether there’s aliens out there, while others might be in wonder about the Person who created it all.

“The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory.”

(Psalm 97:6)

Is there life on other planets?

Some general comments:

• If God created life on other planets then one thing is certain, and that is they will be destroyed at the same time this earth is destroyed, and then remade.
• UFOs and reported alien life forms are either angels or demons.
• The present growing interest in UFOs and aliens is due to demonic influence.
• Some scientists desperately want life to exist elsewhere, and it seems like their motivation, at least in part, is that they think this would prove the Bible wrong.

Yet, even if they found life elsewhere it wouldn’t prove anything concerning the Bible because the Bible does not mention such a thing.

“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.” (Revelation 21:1)

“Heaven” here means the universe.

So, if there is life on other planets they will go the same way as life on this planet goes, because the whole universe is going to be replaced.

Scripture is silent on whether life exists elsewhere.

But if it does, their days are numbered, as it is for those here on earth.

“…Building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit…” (Jude 1:20)

Many have assumed that “praying in the Holy Spirit” means only praying in an unknown language, but that’s ridiculous, because that would mean when you are praying in your own language you are not praying in the Holy Spirit, and then, if you’re not praying in the Holy Spirit you must be praying in the flesh: just with your own mind, with no guidance of the Holy Spirit?

So, obviously, when we pray in either a known or unknown language we are praying in the Holy Spirit if indeed it is the Holy Spirit inspiring and guiding our prayers into fulfilling the will of God.

So, the text tells us that prayer should be done in the Holy Spirit and not without Him, and that such prayer builds us up in our faith, strengthening our faith.

Abortion is perhaps the biggest issue facing Americans right now.

And abortion is primarily a moral issue before it is a political one.

So, you can’t separate politics from morality.

Abortion has put a spotlight on a great moral divide in society, between those who believe it is murder, and those who don’t. This is a great moral chasm, a great divide.

Because murder is the worst crime.

Is there any fixed morality if God doesn’t exist?

“Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.” (1 Cor. 14:12)

Spiritual gifts were used during the church meeting.

It presumes everyone was free to use their gift.

It totally rules out a traditional church service.

If a word which a brother or sister shares (being scripture truth) builds up your faith, reveals Jesus, encourages you, disciplines you, brings the fear of God, brings light or clarity etc. THEN THAT IS A SPIRITUAL GIFT which is operating.

…..

At any given point of time a large portion of the human race is witnessing either sunrise or sunset. Right now, for instance, the sun is rising upon billions of people.

How many of them rise to meet the day by seeking the LORD?

How many acknowledge Him?

How many truly express their thanks to Him?

Would we be wrong in assuming the majority try to shut Him out of their minds completely?
