In Today's Word What Are You Building?

 In a day of violence and God's impending wrath, what should a man of God be Building? Noah built an ark. In Noah's day, the earth was filled with violence and sin. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh has come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." Noah had a prophetic eye and he heard God's call to prepare. Noah did as God told him and built an ark to save his family. What we need in today's world is men of God like Noah. In these days of violence, sin, and corruption who will give themselves to the saving of the people. There should be a heart-rendering cry from our pulpits, from every preacher on TV of the soon coming judgment. We have surpassed the violence of Noah's day and God is going to shorten the days and pour out His wrath.

Compare the preaching and the obedience of Noah with what we see today. Government-approved homosexuality, the murdering of unborn babies in their mother's womb, transgenders, calling good evil and evil good, bitter is now sweet and sweet is now bitter. America is on the very brink of destruction. Judgment is coming fast. The day before this country falls there will be those who will still be making their sinful and selfish plans. 

The sad part in all this is there is no sense of urgency in the houses of worship or among God's people about Christ's coming or His judgment on sin.  The day of Our Lord's return is fast approaching! Are we going to be like the five foolish virgins or are we going to have our lamps trimmed?

Where Are The Elijah Preachers?

There are somethings that I will never be able to understand, some religious denominations and some churches in America. In today’s world for most denominations, it is a pick and chooses religion. It seems we have a new religion that is sweeping our country; Love the person and love what they are doing and just accept it, but that is not Bible Christianity. We are to love the person but hate the sin.
  
We cannot believe some parts of the Bible and disbelieve or cut out other parts, because that is not a true way to believe. On the solid Rock, we must stand. We must believe in all the infallible words of the Bible or believe none. We cannot cut out some of what the Bible says or just pick and paste what we want to believe. It just does not work that way. What was a sin 1000s of years ago is still a sin in today’s world and it will always be a sin. God changes not. 

It used to be decades ago there were only one or two Bible versions and now there are dozens of different Bible versions each claiming to be an easier version and in a lot of cases, important parts of the scriptures are left out and/or are misquoted to give different meanings. The same way with Bible commentaries. Most new commentaries or ones that are revised completely say different than the old commentaries. Is it that we have become smarter? Or are we becoming so smart that we know more than our forefathers in the faith? What is being allowed in most of our churches today would have never been allowed in the same churches years ago. That same two-edged sword of times past has now become a one edge sword in the mouths of many preachers. They are the motivational preachers who say soothing words and never nothing about sin or its consequences. They are interested in the large crowds and the money that these crowds bring in. 
   The Trojan Horse (BETTER KNOWN AS THE ANTICHRIST) is in our churches today more so than ever deceiving the people and that narrow road that was once walked is becoming broad. Few are the churches that are still preaching the truth. But God always has His people. As Christians, we must uphold Bible truths that are ever so evident and always have been.

Why did God let that happen?

Every time there is a shooting in some public place, whether it be in a shopping center, church, Walmart or our schools, we can always hear somewhere in the crowd or gathering “Why does God let that happen?”
So why does God let that happen? When you have lived a long life, as I have, and have seen the many changes take place in our country, it sure is a no-brainer to understand what happened to God. For decades and then some, we have been telling God to get out of our schools, our government, and our lives. So he has done just that, and now we can see clearly what we have. How can we expect God to give us his blessings and his protection if we tell him to leave us alone?
We did not want prayer or Bible reading in school anymore, and then we listen to a guy named Dr. Spock, who said, “We should not spank our kids because we might damage their self-esteem." We believed him, and now look at what is happening. We have kids that do not know right from wrong, they have no discipline, some have no conscience at all. A conscience that would stop them from killing other kids in school.
Some of you will not get this at all and others may call me a whack job, or a Bible thumper, but I have to tell you like it is: We reap what we sow. We cannot turn our backs on God and then wonder why our country is going to hell in a handbasket. It is so funny how we will believe most newspapers but never God’s word. It is strange how some newspapers will not print an article like this, and when they do print the article, how most people when they see the word “God” they will pass over the article because they want no part of it.
If we want this country to return to its former glory, we must stop the suppression in our schools and public places of God’s word. The trouble is we are worried more about what people think than what God thinks. Before we can make America great again, we need to call on the one who can deliver us out of the deep trouble that we are in.

Holding on to our faith


 Dear Christian friends as we journey through the challenges in today's world and the challenges that may come our way, we must realize the importance of our faith and to hold on to our faith. We, as followers of Jesus Christ, must keet the faith. No matter what happens in this old world we must keep the faith. I’ve been ostracized by people on Facebook, some of my friends, people in the community, my neighbors to some degree and I’ve been criticized by people yet I’m holding on to my faith. and I won’t let go of my faith.” The Holy Bible has much to say about faith. We must have faith in God. (Mark 11:22)  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.” Our faith hath saved us. (Luke 7:50)  And He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. In today's world, we must keep the faith. (II Timothy 4:7)  “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” We must increase our faith. (Luke 17:5 ) “And the Apostles said who the Lord, Increase our faith.” Our faith comes by hearing. (Romans 10:17)So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Faith is the substance. (Hebrews 11: 1)“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Our walk as a Christian is by faith (II Corinthians 5:7) For we walk by faith, not by sight.  During biblical times some put their faith in chariots, some in their armies, or their king. Then there was those who put their faith in their Gods of wood, stone and the such. Their faith was not in the One True God who could save them from destruction. The same goes today in our country. The people trust in the government more and more for everything. Their faith is not in the one who can deliver them out of their troubles. Our churches have become social clubs and entertainment centers. They have lost their faith in the one true God. Our country has opened its doors to sin. There is coming a payday for their sins and ungodly acts. But to all the true born again, Christians let us kept the faith, hold on to that faith and do not let go the things we know and believe in, for HE is coming again.

EVIL DOES NOT OBEY LAWS

The United States will never create enough laws to control the evil of killing another human being because evil and evil people do not and will never obey laws or any rules imposed upon them by the government. What makes anyone think evil people will obey government laws when they will not obey God's law- Thou shall not murder. We will always have mass killings, murders, and the breaking of the law because we live in an evil world.  All the laws on the books or laws that will be on the books will not stop evil. When a person has his mindset on an evil purpose he will carry out that evil purpose one way or the other with whatever is at hand to do his or her evil deed. We are already hearing from the liberals and the far left after this latest mass shooting in Texas wanting more gun control laws and for what? The only thing more gun laws will do is hamper the honest decent man, who by the way, respects and abides by the gun control laws. We already have more gun control laws on the books in this country that do absolutely nothing, but yet we want more laws or better yet to take away the guns of everybody, including honest law-abiding citizens. When all the guns are gone and we become a people who depend totally 100% on the government we will then be servants of the government instead of the government being a servant of the people. Some people will not get that. After the firearms are all gone or confiscated by the government what will be the next on the list for the future mass murder to use to commit his evil act? Without naming several I will let the reader think for himself. Do not let the government and some anti-gun groups make you think or believe it is the gun that is the cause of our problems. It is evil in the hearts of degenerate people that cause the problems. People who could care less about any law or what is morally right.
 This country's policymakers, journalists, and the general public look to psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and related disciplines as sources of certainty in the face of the often-incomprehensible terror and loss that mass shootings inevitably produce. This is especially the case in the current political moment when relationships between shootings and mental illness often appear to be the only points upon which otherwise divergent voices in the contentious national gun debate agree. Our country and even the world is going down a broad road to destruction. After all the gun laws, the psychology, and many other programs that have been tried and have failed we need to turn to the ONE who will heal this land and put us back on the right course. The bottom law is this: When we obey God's laws the evils of this country will go away.

Where Are The Prophets That Trouble America

We have allowed the very people who want to destroy this country To move here by leaps and bounds while supporting them with our tax dollars and even elect three of them to Congress where they have access to classified documents. Our enemies are here and in the gate. No wall is needed here because they are already here and demanding their form of government. I will never understand how people can leave their country because of persecution while waving the flags of their country as they come. We must learn their language because they do not want to or do they have to learn ours. We must accept their God. The very things that we have seen in the middle east are coming here and for the most part, are already here.
We have a problem on our southern borders that needs to go away. I for one am not against legal immigration. I want people to come to this country and learn our ways, speak our language and be proud Americans. This is how our country was founded. It was not founded by people sneaking over the borders, illegally and demanding everything for free which is, for the most part, what is happening. No matter what some people say, not all the people crossing our borders are legit. Some of these people bring with them a way of life that is not acceptable and should not be tolerated, such as drugs, bad criminal records, let alone the lawlessness that they unleash when they come here. There are many cases in our court system which can back that up. This country cannot sustain the people crossing our borders or the burden it will cause on the citizens in this country. We need a wall.
The Pope, most Tv actors and members of Congress, who are against the wall have walls around their residence to keep people out. Check it out. For them the walls are good but for you and me (The American People), the walls are not needed. The people in Congress that are against the wall are doing it because all these people will vote for them and their socialist (communist agenda) or else they are against it because it is a Trump Promise and they hate Trump. I do not like everything Trump says or does but he is right on this one. We must build the wall or we will have no country as we know it left for our kids and grandkids.
We have people who have come across our borders illegally (not citizens of this country) and are allowed to vote, get a drivers license, tax refunds (Never figured that one out), food stamps, money for housing, and everything else, and it is all for the vote or the cheap labor. This country can not sustain this type of actions from the illegals or the government that allows it.
Evil has overtaken this country and it is growing by leaps and bounds. We have murdered millions of babies in the wombs of their mother over the past decades but now we are murdering them in the mother’s womb up until the day they are born. How evil this is. We have laws to protect dangered species of animals, but it is okay to kill a baby in the womb. The government is saying the baby is not alive or a person until they are born and breath. All through the Bible God tells us otherwise. If this is the case, as the government says, why is Plan Parenthood harvesting body parts and selling them? What is next? Will the government want to call the old folks and special needs people a burden and get rid of them? Do not laugh because if this country last it will happen. There is a darkness coming over this land.
We have the evil of homosexuals, lesbianism, transgenders, and the like being promoted in our land when we know it is wrong. Our kids are being taught in school that it is just another lifestyle. (Our schools are not what they use to be). Most schools and higher places of learning have a liberal agenda.) The Holy Scriptures tell us that. And if you do not want to read them just common sense will tell you none of this is right. God created Male and female, (Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve) I guess soon we will be told that round pegs will fit into square holes.
We have an evil that has come over this land and we need not look at the politicians to solve the problem because they are part of the problem. They need to go. We must clean the swamp. But the real problem is we have, for the most part, are spineless preachers who will not stand up in the pulpit and preach what saith the Lord. They are more worried about money and the numbers of their congregations. When we have a preacher of a church with 40,000 members that will not say homosexuality is a sin on national TV the church is in trouble big time.

God Never Changes

Just look around us at all the sin and the bad things that are happening. Sin abounds because we live in a fallen world, and so it is easy for a person to be fearful. Changes are forever-present, and not every change, as we know is positive. If we trust in The Lord Jesus Christ, however, we have no reason to be afraid. We never allow His promises to fail. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  When we are fearful, let us remember that God and His goodness to us are unchanging; and because of this, we are ever secure in Him. God will not forsake us.

 All of the Promises of God are "Yea" and "Amen", but all of the promises of God are conditional. They based upon our saying "Yea" and "Amen" to God. Our health can fail us tomorrow but God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. How can we explain that? Here is a good example. At 91 years old my dad was close to the end of his life. His frail body would no longer let him stand. His physical body had to depend on everything and everybody, but his inner being grew stronger because God was giving my dad that inward strength which he needed.

We may have adversity, hard times, harsh conditions, danger, or many other things come upon us -- but He draws closer to us than a brother and whispers in our ear, "In the world, ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."  Our friends and family may leave or desert us, so that we end up saying the same as Paul said, "No man stood with me." Where has everybody gone? But listen, friends, we can also say the same as Paul did in the next verse, "Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me," because Jesus will never forsake us or leave us. 

And even when death draws near He assures and declares to us, "I am the resurrection and the life." My dad on his deathbed had that assures and was looking for that life in the heavenly city whose builder and maker is God. I know what dad was thinking- “What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see”. What great comfort in knowing that my Savior is referred to in Isaiah 9:6 as "the everlasting Father" and as One with whom is no variableness or shadow of turning because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

God was with the Hebrews when He parted the red sea and fed them for the next forty years. He was with the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace, He was with Daniel in the lion's den. He also protected David all his life from numerous dangers. Many others in the Bible he did the same for and He will do the same for us today because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! 

In Today's Word What Are You Building?
