Form of Godliness but Deny its Power

2Ti 3:1 Know this also, that in the last days grievous times will be at hand.
2Ti 3:2 For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 without natural affection, unyielding, false accusers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good,
2Ti 3:4 traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
2Ti 3:5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; even turn away from these.
2Ti 3:6 For of these are those who creep into houses and lead captive silly women loaded with sins, led away with different kinds of lusts,
2Ti 3:7 ever learning and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth.

Modern King James

This is one of my favorite sets of scripture depicting the days we live in. This isn’t even talking necessarily of the world. I believe its focus is also on the church and its leaders. We see a renewed pharisaical attitude in the church. One that is not led by the Spirit but by people with lots of initials before and after their names. Education is not bad, but it can’t replace the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Few leaders in the Church seem to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Therefore they have a form of godliness that is based upon methods and knowledge. Yet it lacks the power of the Spirit.

How many have ever had demons cry out of people when they walk into a room? How many followers of Christ have encountered people on the street bow their knees to Jesus due to the power that lives within each of us each week? How many have regular miraculous encounters because like Peter, the anointing is upon them?

While I could go on, these make my point. We have nice church services and denominational meetings. We struggle with our dismal budgets and don’t strangle off sin’s grip upon our lives. We see churches and leaders so worried about someone adding to the Word of God, that they remove God’s word with their doubt and control. The power of the Gospel is there to make all things new. Yet, we follow powerless leaders that are mighty in knowledge, but lack the wisdom and understanding of how it all works. They are too busy building their own kingdom, or preserving what they have, that they forget that God’s Kingdom and Word is proven as it comes with power.

We see people with the head knowledge of the Spiritual Gifts, but lack the holiness and dedication to obedience to use them spiritually correct. So, they are talked about and boxed in by man’s standards, but not God’s. True spiritual Gifts ruin “nice religious experiences” and “cozy religions”. The people in my life that taught and demonstrated the righteous lifestyle and the biblical expression of the Spiritual Gifts would seldom be asked to lead or train others by most religious leaders. Why? You ask. Because the correct use of them intimidates religious people. As we seek Him with all we have, we will find Him. When we find Him, He will express Himself in similar ways He did in scripture. These miraculous signs and wonders were the symbolism that His Kingdom was now present. The power of the Gospel dispels darkness. It bypasses arguments and unbelief of those receiving it. It is the antidote for the poisonous lies and deception that the world has injected into the minds and hearts of mankind. The power of the Gospel drives out the demons holding the vast majority of our world hostage. As the enemy has pillaged the hope and dreams of eternity, God’s power “nukes” the walls the enemy built to hold captive God’s creation.

It’s time for our churches and leaders to humble themselves to the power of the Gospel, and be equipped with every gift has given them to use to enforce the “butt-whoopin'” Jesus put on the devil. It’s time for the anointed of God to be recognized and released to equip the churches and the people to do the ministry of the Gospel. We are in a war! We need those anointed and equipped, not just with the knowledge, but with wisdom, understanding and the experience to demonstrate the power of the Gospel. Yet, as a dog returns to its vomit, so man turns back to man for answers. If only the Pharisees would have listened to the “Carpenter”, or the fishermen, or the tax collector, or any of the least of these.

As God restores His fullness to the true sheep, the goats will begin to separate. I believe God is going to lead His Church flock once again into the pastures of Truth and Holiness, that includes the powerful use of the Gifts of the Spirit. But, many lack the passion, commitment and humility to accurately use and demonstrate their biblical use. God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called! God has already called, qualified, equipped, empowered and released His servants. And didn’t ask any of us our opinions, or asked for a vote.

Here is my suggestion for you. Find people who are on fire for God. Ones that seek after His heart, flee from even the appearance of evil, seek righteousness, love God with everything they have and demonstrate the miraculous power of the Kingdom. When you find them, be discipled by them and then you disciple others. Then as Elisha, seek the double portion of God’s anointing and presence in your life that they have. Time is to short to play religious games and “tug of war” with religious people and leaders.

According the above scripture, these powerless-gospel people, probably have some of the issues mentioned. Especially the “ever learning and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth.” Walk in the Fruit of the Spirit and live out the Gifts of the Spirit. Every church and person will then see the power demonstrated by Jesus through the Holy Spirit, and released upon all His disciples (including us) in the forms of deliverance, healing, miracles and other God expressions that follow those who believe. These are the “spiritual prescriptions” the world around us need to realize who the Real King is and encounter the Kingdom first hand.

It’s time for the church to come out of the comatose state it’s in. It’s time to get messy, as we reach out to a messed up world. Walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Today is the day you, you family, your ministry and your church can COME ALIVE!

Love, Power and a Sound Mind

“God did not give us a spirit of fear, but one of POWER, LOVE AND A SOUND MIND” – 2 Timothy 1:7

If the above scripture is true? If in the last days many will fall away? If hearts of many will grow cold? If many will follow the doctrines of demons? If many will leave a foothold for the enemy? What makes us think that the vast amount of mental issues are arbitrary and random? Maybe, fear leads to weakness, self-hatred and confusion as this appears to be saying. Maybe, if we seek Him with all of our heart, we will find power, love and a sound mind. Maybe we have lost our first love, becoming a “friend” to the world. Maybe we are trying to serve and love two masters: God and this world. A house divided will not stand. Maybe we’ve given a foothold for the enemy in our lives, our children’s lives and an entrance into our generational line. Maybe the “freedom” that has been taught for decades is not a “freedom” at all, but a call to live empowered to overcome the world and thus the consequences of sinful choices. Maybe everything we do has consequences: blessing for obedience, and cursing for disobedience? I don’t know! But, I do know God doesn’t promise what He can’t and won’t deliver!

It’s time to quit expecting mankind to fix our ills. Yes, we have limited abilities that god has given us. But, He reserves the right to being called the Great Physician. We are living in deceitful days. We are living in dark days. Darkness will only prevail if light doesn’t shine. We must renew our minds daily. We must have the mind of Christ. A double minded person is unstable in ALL their ways. We must put our thoughts upon things above. We must work out our salvation with fear and trembling. We must pray and fast for one another and ourselves. We must walk in the true salvation and grace that god gave us thru Jesus that include salvation, healing and deliverance. We have been called to have love, power and a sound mind! That is what God has given us. We stand together in prayer and empowerment. The anointing breaks the yoke of bondage. What bondage? Every yoke of bondage!!!

I do not want trivialize, down play or over simplify the struggle of the mind or thoughts. I just know by my experience, that He has healed and delivered hundreds, and even thousands of people from every area of torment. We need to pray for one another. Encourage one another. And fight for one another. Do you? Or are you too busy chasing after this world, to fast and pray even for yourself, or those God has placed around you. Jesus preached, healed and delivered the people. We are to do Greater Things in His name. So, what are you doing to enter into this anointing and positional authority found in Jesus Christ?

We may have struggles in this world. But, we were never created to be conquered, destroyed or tormented. There is a difference between these two polar opposites. Choose Christ! Choose Life! Choose to seek after Him with everything you have because YOU WILL FIND HIM! And in Him you will find power, love and a sound mind!

In Christ, we will find everything we need. In Christ, He has placed us above our enemy and every disease. In Christ, I am a new creation, the old has past away, and the new has come. The problem begins when we are partially new and partially new. We become a house a house divided and will NOT stand! Where do you stand? Are you a house divided? Are you a friend with the world?

Choose life! Choose Christ! Choose to chase after The Perfect love that casts off fear! Rise out of the tomb of your past, and enter into eternal life today! Paul counted everything as “poop” in his past when compared to the knowledge and life with Jesus Christ. Pray, fast, and fight without ceasing for those around you that are struggling.

Sex, lies and video games

Sex, lies and video games are Not the only issues our culture has. But, it gets our attention. These three are definitely pillars of destruction in our society. But, they are more symptoms of a society that loves darkness more than light. Especially, a generation of church people that should call their “spiritual” God site – “Co-Mingle”. It co-mingles many religions together. It has become a harlot with the world. We look like the world more than Christ. We may have some of the most intense praise and worship music, some of the most passionate preaching, the best Greek and Hebrew Teaching, and yet OUR HEARTS ARE FROM HIM! We have bought into the lies of this wicked generation. Lies that will and are leading people straight to hell. Leading them to death, suicide, torment, depression, hate, murder, shame, guilt, condemnation, prejudice, emptiness, etc. Jesus gives life, and life more abundant. Jesus’ heart doesn’t look at what it doesn’t have, but what it can give! A heart full of holiness and worship! A heart that loves righteousness and hates evil. A heart that seeks Him 24/7, and not the approval of man. A heart that serves mankind, but only worships God! So, why are we being driven off a cliff?

Keep going culture! Keep confusing our children about who they are! Keep driving our children to developing their own truths! Keep telling our children there is no absolute truth! Keep giving our children broken homes! Keep legalizing more drugs! Keep letting movies, music and video games define the culture! Keep being deadbeat fathers and mothers! Keep devaluing life? Keep letting the government raise your children! Keep coddling your children instead of disciplining them! Keep believing the religion of secular humanism which places man as god, and mankind can fix its own problems! Keep allowing the lies that racism is bad, but some groups can allowed to be prejudice and hateful! Keep compromising the Truth! Keep producing shallow and empty people that irresponsible and embrace victimization and hopelessness!

We are insane to think that we continue to do what we’ve been doing for the last 20 years, and expect different results! God created us in His image, both (and only) male and female. He designed us to love Truth, and to hate evil. He desires us to live Holy and to share His love with others so they too can find their identity in Him. He desires us to be raised in loving homes with a mom and a dad. He desires us to flee from the appearance of evil!

It’s time for a culture revolution to occur! It’s time to rise up and say “no” to a spoiled and narcissistic generation. It’s time to educate a naïve and an offended, shallow society. It’s time to call evil, evil and good, good. It’s time to stand on the Truth that will set a spiritually enslaved society – FREE!!! Immaturity is running rampant. It’s time to teach it to get potty trained so we don’t have to deal with its cr…”poo”, and the stink and mess it causes. It’s time to speak Truth and accept the persecution that may follow!

Jesus asked that when He would return would He find any faith?! And by the look of many of the posts and lifestyles in the world around us (especially within the “Christian” posts), we have lost our first love. We have traded the Truth for lies. Truth leads us to Agape’ Love and freedom from the consequences of sin. Lies lead us to hate, blame, self-centeredness, rebellion, destruction, death, etc.

Truth should not change based upon culture, or the area where you grew up, or your skin color, or if you are a male or female, or … In fact, I don’t think God really cares about culture at all. He cares about if you belong to Him or not, and where you will spend eternity. In fact, it was God’s judgement being executed when He divided the into nations/cultures at the tower of Babel. He’s coming back for people that rally around Him, and will judge the ones that again are gathering around the new “Towers of Babel” – Secular Humanism, Post Modernism, Pseudo-Modernism, Multiculturalism, Tolerance, etc.

The real Church will be persecuted! It may be the time for the Real Church to Stand Up, Stand Out and Shout About the Truth of the Gospel! Preaching repentance, Teaching Truth and Living Empowered, Righteous Lifestyles, set apart for One Pure and Holy Passion to Jesus Christ, His Father and to the commitment to the Holy Ghost! Now Go!

2nd Amendment Rights

I personally own numerous guns that could be considered “assault” weapons. I enjoy shooting them and have trained hundreds of people in basic hunting and shooting skills. Of which, none have been used to harm another human being, and especially illegally. I think people are uninformed on guns. We make just about every cars to travel at least twice the speed limit. And we don’t blink an eye when thousands of people each year die or are killed because of speed. We see an equal or possibly greater numbers of fatalities due to alcohol or now “accepted” drugs. And we know what happens when we take American’s alcohol away! We don’t and shouldn’t tell what type, size or power of a car to buy. So, if I would like to own a semi-automatic rifle and pistol, I feel I should have the same free choice to do so. And the argument isn’t if it’s used for hunting or shooting. Those are not really protected under our Constitution. But, the way I read it( and is the basic historical interpretation by the courts and The Court), is that the Constitution permits us to protect ourselves against the government. And I think it is a mistake to never think a man-ran government will never become bad. We will already over powered by tanks and aircraft.

I have watched the dismantling of the First Amendment over the last decade (this is a whole discussion in itself). Now we see a dismantling of the Second Amendment. Many believe the rest of the Amendments hang upon the viability of these first two. I don’t think we can ever compare ourselves to other countries in their acceptance or ban of guns. We need to look within ourselves. In our country I see a trend that where the strictest gun laws are “enforced” the most murders by guns occur. Since our war on drugs has failed. And our war on poverty has failed. And our war on racism has also supposedly failed. A war on guns will probably only limit the rights of law abiding citizens. And if the criminals will still have guns, and the average response time by police in most areas can exceed 10 minutes, the best thing to stop someone with a gun is to equalize the playing field by using a gun. Even the police use a “match the level of danger” with an equal or greater force. An example is if you are a woman, being that most men are 20-30% stronger, you will probably not win a equal battle with them (sorry but basic biology). If someone was threatening to rape you, a gun would be a great equalizer offsetting the strength advantage.

We live in a world of sexual deviance and perverse appetites. We live in a culture of violence and emptiness. While I do my best to change this culture, I know my limited ability to do so. So, I also choose to equip myself and my family with the means to protect themselves and others. Each of my children will receive a personal weapon that they can choose to carry or even conceal carry as they walk these violent streets of sex trafficking, rape, murder, drug induced paranoia, etc. I believe one way to keep my family safe is by the ownership and use of guns. And our forefathers must have seen the same rational.

Maybe make it a death penalty if a criminal has a gun or uses one. Maybe if we eliminate their name and face from the news it would give them less reason to “up” the bar of notoriety. We must make people accountable and make it “burn”. I feel we have slapped people on the wrist for too long. Then, we complain on the huge number of repeat offenders. Then we blame poverty or some other external thing, when we really see people of all levels breaking the law. External triggers will only control when the inner strength and self-control is absent. But, it’s easier and gives us self satisfaction that we “did” something so we can go back to our own selfish lives. And that is why we blame the guns and not the people. It’s like blaming the fork or spoon for our country being over-weight. Or blaming the checkbook for being out of money. Or …

In fact, this whole “gun-hate” revolution being energized is fueling more struggling youth and mentally unstable people to get on the band-wagon and do the unthinkable. They are demanding that their “truth” be heard. We are having “truth wars”. They will get fame and cause a change in society. Copy cats and Bar Raisers will come out of the woodwork. And then continue to watch as we fearfully remove more rights, people will rebel even more. We must restore civility, responsibility, consequences, respect, empathy, conversation, cooperation and Truth back into our society.

I am always concerned when attitudes within the nation demonizes the instrument of choice rather than the act or societal cancers that lead a person to do these horrific acts. I hope that people would let any law abiding citizen to act upon their Constitutional rights, and not assume we are incapable of managing ourselves. If I don’t want to own a gun of any type respect that please. If I want to own one of every kind of gun, please respect that. If I quit being a law abiding citizen throw everything you have at me. Otherwise, I should be innocent. Most all of the shooters had major red flags of family history and police contact history to start investigating.

While I could go on, I will end my point of view with my “faith” perspective. We are not warring against flesh and blood. Our culture is in a spiritual fight for life. Every form of death and despair symptom is escalating: suicides, cutting, depression, loneliness, drugs, alcohol, violence, rape incest, prejudice, gangs, fatherless homes, abortion, etc. And YES! I am one of those closed minded people who thinks that only a revival around Jesus Christ will give our society any hope. Even Jesus told His Disciples to buy a sword, and it probably wasn’t to cut the cheese. It was the weapon of choice in that day. He didn’t care what size either. Just get one. I believe just like in Jesus day, we need to be prepared to protect those around us, and therefore the gun is the weapon of choice. It appears violence will continue to increase. Protect the children and those unable to protect themselves, but remove my ability and weapons needed to do so. And, in the meanwhile PREACH AND LIVE THE GOSPEL, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING AND WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING! Thanks for listening and for overlooking any incorrect verbage or grammer! And remember please this is a part of my view and opinion on this topic. God bless!

Sterile Christianity

I’ve been noticing in recent years the decay of the reproduction of Christianity within the Christians themselves. We recently had an administration perpetuating the idea that faith was free when inside the walls of the church. As years went by, the tome changed to faith is a personal matter and was free within one’s heart. We have been boxed in, and the church has bought it hook, line and sinker.

I very seldom see Christians freely talking bout their faith. I watch all these people who call themselves “Christians” or “believers” walk around day after day never once hearing their faith being spoken of. In fact, the only thing they really don’t talk about is their faith. How sad! Really they are denying Him before men. What does it say He will do then??? Deny YOU before His Father. Oh yah, we talk and act “Christianese” on that one or two days we attend church or are around other Christians. Must make Jesus proud that we can profess Him when its convenient, but not when it’s unpopular. We don’t live in a God-neutral culture anymore either. The spirit of the antichrist is ruling and reigning everywhere from our government on down. This is why we see a violence towards the church and anyone who is passionate seeking His Truth and Kingdom by seeking Hs Presence. It’s a whole-life package!

We believe the lie that we only have to show it. In fact, people who share their faith are radicals or must be evangelists. Hog wash! Anyone who is sold out for Jesus Christ, will struggle NOT telling others about the greatest thing that has ever happened to them. So, maybe Jesus isn’t the greatest thing for them. That’s why people would rather talk about their favorite beer, sports team, movie, songs, actor, etc. What we treasure reveals the position of the heart. What we chase after, we worship. Worship isn’t music, it’s submission. To follow God we must live a lifestyle of submission leading to a commission to go into all the world to spread the Gospel. What we exalt, we worship. What we bow down for, we worship. What we make room for, we worship! What we chase after, we worship!

I have been grieved by so many ministers and leaders in the church that relinquish their calling of sharing the Gospel in other settings in the world. There is reluctance to pray, study, and fellowship with other believers within their jobs or communities. I personally believe every business, school, etc. should have groups of believers meeting to pray and share the word within their “free” time (lunch, etc.). Maybe then we wouldn’t have the shootings and other violence escalating across our nation. Again, I am NOT saying be boisterous and arrogant against your employer or boss. Be humble, God always provides appropriate opportunities to share for those who are eager to share Him.

Are we really just reaping what we are sowing? We refuse to allow God’s presence to fill our places of business and work, so the devil is happy to accommodate. What d we expect when everyone gets to make up their own truth? Where there is no or little light darkness prevails. It’s simple physics! Let your light shine! But, make sure you have a light first. Reading about the churches in Revelation, God was going to remove their light because of their “sin”. Even though many of them were doing things right, God wants excellence. And His grace empowers us to do live up to it! Praise God for His empowering grace to obtain salvation and victories in our lives and within the world around!

So, what do we do? We let our lights begin to shine. Out of the mouth comes blessings or cursings. Blessings reflect God’s heart, cursings reflect man’s. I am not saying rip your employer off by not doing your job. I’m saying let God out the box before the devil boxes you in. Be respectful and humble. I’m saying be open to wisely sharing your experience with the King of kings and Lord of lords. I’m saying get together with your fellow followers of Christ and sharpen one another, pray for one another and encourage one another. Most people feel like they are empty in their work. Most people feel sick Sunday night knowing they have to work tomorrow morning. Most people feel they have to work. By taking back the ground the enemy has stolen, your joy will return and even become full. Your job will become your ministry. And I believe tragedy and violence will be brought to a minimum. When we make it about God, He will protect us.

Every day we eat meals to stay healthy. We exercise to stay in shape. We need to do the same with our faith. It must be nurtured, fed and exercised in order to grow, be healthy and be in shape. Allow opportunities for others to come along side you and carry one another’s burdens. Quit letting fear and intimidation strangle your full ministry. Prepare yourself to be promoted to the next level by being faithful in the little. Teach your kids to be “loud” about their faith. Many will hate and despise it, but there will those who have been waiting to hear about the truth and love of Jesus Christ.

Unless we begin to seek Him with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength, bad things will continue to escalate and control the culture. We have become sterilized to the things of God. Therefore we cannot or will not reproduce Him in the world around us. Another way to look at it is immature believers (ones who haven’t went thru spiritual puberty) can’t reproduce Jesus in others. It is the natural tendency of every marriage to reproduce offspring of that relationship. It is natural for the supernatural reproduction to occur for every believer to produce spiritual offspring. We too long have believed the lie that the pastor or evangelist does it. These immature believers still think the Gospel is about them. That their salvation is about them. Well, it’s about Jesus. We are secondary to Him! We need to make it about Jesus. Then it won’t be as hard to make it about Him everywhere we go, and everything we do.

It’s time, we as believers and followers of Christ to seize the Kingdom and take it by storm. Then we will be able to storm the gates of hades and it will not prevail against the Church. Then, we will begin to see the captives set free and be free indeed (in every area of their life!). We need the Truth, not a pseudo-truth, or pseudo-Christianity, or a pseudo-Jesus. We need to stand upon the unfailing, unchanging, unconquerable Truth of Jesus Christ. The name at which every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that He is Lord! It’s time to reproduce Christ so the enemy will loose his grip upon our society. It’s time for His Church to RISE UP and walk in the victory that Jesus already has won for us. It’s time to live, eat and breath Jesus in every area of our lives.

Radical Christianity=Radical Salvations=Radical Discipleship=Radical Christianity

Jesus was and still is a Radical! Radical Love for His Father. Radical Obedience to His Father! Radical sacrifice for us! Radical defeat of sin and the devil! Let US live Radical!

Guns Debate, don’t take the bait!

For those of us that own and use guns on a daily basis, we know that all semiautomatics are basically the same. Most murders by guns are not by AR-15’s. They are by handguns which is a parallel argument of banning by the same side. “Safe” Cities that have enacted tough gun laws to the point of even banning them, seem to dive deeper into despair and death. I am so glad they have made it illegal for criminals to have and own guns. Because we know criminals like to obey the law.

I would rather enact laws requiring the Bible to be taught to get at the root of the problem than break our second amendment. If our nation is really that concerned than let’s change hearts, not what is put in our hands. Evil always finds a way to kill, steal and destroy. Hunting is a privilege, owning and carrying a gun is a Constitutional Right! It looks like we live in a culture (at least about 50% of that culture) that is trying to remove the First and Second Amendments. Every gun restriction offered in the past has included semi-automatic guns that I know hundreds of people use without murdering anyone. Yet, I do know people who have killed people with cars, under the influence (alcohol, pot and other drugs) and abortions. If anything, let’s outlaw these non-Constitutional Rights, than I will be willing to address our Constitution. I find it ludicrous to enact another law on top of the hundreds and thousands of gun laws already around the land.

I AM outraged at the school shooting. I am outraged that children died. But, I will never blame the gun. I blame people. I blame a society of death. I blame fatherless homes. I blame divorce. I blame our society that breeds shallowness, emptiness and selfishness. I blame political parties that are about control and power rather than following the Law themselves. I blame a culture that demands it’s “truth” to be not just heard but accepted. I blame everyone who supports the humanistic agenda. I blame everyone who doesn’t believe in Absolute Truth, but believe “we all have our own truth”. Our changing culture is to blame.

We have left our first Love. These are the consequences of that sin. We have a sin issue, not a gun issue. Those who don’t want to address the depravity of mankind will try to control mankind by restrictions and demands. We don’t want to stand by the laws anyway. When convenient, we allow people to break the laws and demonize people who want our current laws upheld and enforced. Many are hypocrites, demanding new laws, but have bowed to allowing people to break the laws in other areas and supporting these law breakers. (Self-righteousness and arrogance I guess.) Sorry, but you have lost my respect and conversation when you compromise the law and justify people breaking it. But, then want to enact new laws that will effect and affect law abiding citizens. Standing on truth, sometimes we have to set aside feelings. I love my country. I try to love it’s laws. And if I choose to break them, I will live with the consequences. The laws I despise are the ones that go against God’s Absolute Truth.

When it comes to political parties, one has jumped off the cliff, and the other has its toes hanging over the edge. And most of the independents are somewhere in between. When a society produces “trash” you will attract “rats”. The “rats” of violence, depression, depravity, hate, division, murder, rape, disrespect, law-breakers, etc. The spirit of the anti-christ is alive and growing. This is a spiritual battle that will not be won by carnal weapons. But when in doubt, create new laws to control the masses if it will settle or give you a fix against your hopelessness and fears.

Those unwilling to bow to Christ, will bow to sin and its consequences. But, those who are carnal won’t see the Spiritual war at hand anyway. It’s time for the Church to rise up and become Life and Light to the world around us. We will encounter resistance by the world and the pseudo-Church. The Church needs to stop being a social club of self-help ministries,, building our own kingdoms of our desires, and focusing on being a movement of social justice. We are a blood bought, Holy Ghost empowered, Spiritual military family that storms the gates of Hades and steals back to Christ those who might be the next person to make the news for doing a horrendous act.

May God restore to us His wisdom and ways.

The church has perpetuated lawlessness and sin

It’s time for the Church to preach the whole counsel of God. We have a society that needs to hear the Truth that the Old and New Testaments reveal to us the character of a righteous and loving God. In fact, I am personally tired of hearing of the “New Testament” churches that teach the Law of God has been done away with. Without the Law we are limited in our view of God’s heart. In fact, He said He would now write it upon our hearts. Our society needs these guidelines and even the Holy Ghost inspired guidelines given to Moses was to reveal God’s heart on how a society should function. Much of the Old Testament details of what it means to love your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Our society and even churches are in dire need of the whole counsel of God. And grace and mercy were already at work in the light of Jesus fulfilling (fully filling) it and empowering us to be overcomers of sin. Not just forgiven, but empowered to live above the bar, above the Law by not breaking it thus sinning against God. We will sin, but we should be sinning less as we grow in the Lord.

The law of love is not separate from the Law (the law of righteousness and obedience). For God cannot separate Himself from Himself. He is a package that cannot change. It is sad to see a culture that thinks love is about feelings, and sees the 10 commandments as outdated and in opposition to Jesus’ love. God did not remove His Law so we could be friend with us. That would be as silly as parents removing household rules and expectations so they could be their children’s friends. Oh yeah, that is a major problem in our society of lawlessness and violence. When that happens we will have culture out of control. And if you believe that God removed the Ten Commandments and all the other commandments found within His Word, then you would be a HYPOCRIT if you have any type of rules for your children. To me Love=Obedience. Do you love the whole counsel of God?

Jesus said He came to only do what the Father was doing. He also said that those who love him obey His commandments (the whole word). We have traded the Law of God for lawlessness. And the church has too! Salvation is rooted in Love. The Commandments of God were never meant to save us for we all fall short of the Glory of God. But they were meant to lead us to righteousness and to know what sin is. Otherwise we have a church and culture that would believe that sin has been done away with. Oh yeah, that’s right we already hear that in the new gospel and new Jesus that’s being preached that sin has been done away with and now everyone goes to heaven. And we see the consequences of a church and society that have left their first love because they love evil and darkness. And they practice sin, so they will not inherit the Kingdom. Do you practice sin by embracing it and not turn from it (true repentance). We therefore have received God’s grace in vain. Rise up and be holy for He is holy!

Let God replace your artificial heart and love, with the true love and empowerment of grace leading to obedience to Jesus Christ. Living above the consequences of the Law thru His powerful grace!

OUTRAGED

REALLY, REALLY LONG AND MAY CAUSE INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE AND POSSIBLE SEIZURES (i.e. TANTRUMS)! And not politically correct, remember who’s writing this?!

We should be outraged by the mass murder of our children in Florida. We should be even more outraged at the lies our universities and others have been propagating in the weak and fragile minds of a “lost” generation and culture. It’s the culture that is throwing the fox in the chicken coop and blaming the teeth of the fox for killing of the chickens. Maybe we should make guns illegal just like we have murder, rape, drunk driving, theft, or any other failing law. Any child that is murdered should outrage us whether by gun, knife, car, alcohol, abuse, etc. A culture that is not controlled from within will NOT be controllable from without. We even had prominent celebrities that encourage everyone to follow their OWN truth. Just like the shooter in Florida because it seems like he felt wronged.

Our culture has failed these children and these families. We even failed the shooter. The lies and propaganda machine has removed any cultural safeties and protections. We perpetuate the “self” to the point that people can’t recognize or accept that they have issues, are wrong or deserve many of the consequences of their choices. It’s like giving someone whose addicted to opioids more opioids to make them feel more like they want to, and wonder why they are still addicted to opioids. So, probably Oprah and many other of the intellectually impaired that are perpetuating this failing indoctrination of the current and next generation are more at fault for this than the gun. Keep telling kids they are accidents, only blobs of flesh, no one is wrong and everyone is a winner. So go ahead and do whatever feels good. If it’s your truth, then run with it! What do you get??? These mass murders and much more!!

I believe this is the reward of a “post-truth” society that has been perpetuated by the media, Hollywood and much of our “enlightened” politicians. “It’s about feelings and perceptions”. A society that allows you to choose “your” truth and determine your direction. No wonder our youth are confused. A great example of this was when Obama came out in a press conference in support of Islam and homosexuals. That very same week (maybe even day) some Islamic country executed some homosexuals as their law allows. Two truths accepted and in direct conflict with one another. True insanity of a “self-truth” or a no-absolute-truth society.

They don’t even know their basic biology any longer. How would they ever know the difference between wrong and right, good and evil. The “post-truth” culture struggles with what to do when their truth conflicts with other’s truth. We find justification for drugs, murder, rape, incest, violent protests, etc. Then, the lie that tolerance is all we need, leads us off an emotional cliff. We don’t need tolerance . We need unity. Unity of common belief, values, culture, direction, compassion, etc. This is where we get community from. All of headed the same way, founded upon a mutual foundation of right and wrong. Yes, I’m talking absolute TRUTHS! Not letting our children discover truth for themselves. But, laying a solid foundation from birth.

So, as you can see I am not a “multi-culturalist”. And will be hated for being a “racist” by many because of this view. Yet, in their gifting of stupid, they forget that culture and skin color are not mutually the same. But, I feel I lack nothing in my love, and compassion for my fellow man and woman. Evil and good translate beyond skin color. Choices are what determines if the direction is evil or good. I am one of those melting-pot extremists. In fact, while getting my DNA ancestry results, I am a melting pot of the world living in the culture of the USA. I am closed minded to lies and deception, open minded to sharing God’s love, and understand that most people’s opinions are wrong (including mine). So, I will continue to raise my voice louder at the insanity of a culture running towards a cliff of chaos and anarchy. In the mean, while we trample upon people on our way to the cliff. There is no such thing as utopia in a fallen world with fallen man in charge.

Again, we should be outraged at the wrongful deaths of our children. We should be outraged at a culture that disregards life from conception to the elderly. We should be outraged by a society that encourages individual truths over absolute truth. We should BE OUTRAGED!!! We should be OUTRAGEOUSLY OUT SPOKEN OVER THE DIRECTION OF THIS COUNTRY NO MATTER WHAT LABEL THEY PUT ON US!!!

And for all of you who are opposed to this: This is my truth. You have to accept it if you are of the ‘Tolerance indoctrination”. Or you become a hypocrite. Totally said in love!
