Faith Alone in Christ Alone!

Faith alone in Christ alone, is the gospel, anything else is not the gospel. When we do that He will send us the Holy Spirit and will do all the rest of the work in us.


Placebos are for the Weak Minded

Professing Christians are being duped by a placebo form of faith based on superficial platitudes rather than the saving faith that comes from being indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 3:16 "Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?"

1 Corinthians 6:19 "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?" ...

 2 Corinthians 6:16 "Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE."

Ezekiel 36:27 ""I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances."

2 Timothy 1:14 "Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you."

It's Almost Over Folks!

I am convinced that this country, very soon will cease to be the country we have always known, not because I know anything significant about what is going on in the government, but because we are at the place of rebellion against God that other countries were when God destroyed them.

Deuteronomy 8:20 ""Like the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you would not listen to the voice of the LORD your God."

When a nation gets to the point of endorsing same sex unions, we can be sure we are destined to be punished severely by the Lord.

God was patient when we were murdering more than 50 million babies,
He was patient when we were divorcing and remarrying without conscience,
He was patient when our youth defied their parents, thinking it was a normal youthful response,
He was patient when we began living in sin without the benefit of marriage,
He was patient when we indulged in every form of personal pleasure while living to please only ourselves.

And He has been patient when we lie about Him, His Word and or purpose on this earth.

2 Pete 3:8-18 "8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

A New Heaven and Earth

10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,
15 and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,
16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,
18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."

We have sorely tested God's patience over and over and over again. Now we test Him one more time by the methodically planed institution of same sex marriage one state at a time. When our president has openly endorsed this evil, we have crossed the line into rampant rebellion across God in the land. What is in the hearts of the people, is going to intensify in the institutions and streets with avengeance.

Many who would not have practiced this sin, will begin to do so, the only thing holding them back were the laws that restrained them. When the law is removed, the flood gates of evil will begin.

1 Timothy 1:9 "realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers"
