What You Believe About Yourself Means Nothing

Modern apostate Christianity can be very subtle.

In the poster is a saying that is going around that is completely wrong but sounds good to most people.

Actually whatever your true character is on the inside will be seen on the outside, what we believe doesn't matter. This poster is wrong but so very subtle most would not notice it.

The poster is an example of the modern "feelings oriented" mentality in which people believe as long as you feel something it must be true. I have news for you, feelings are not facts. In fact often feelings lead us to believe what is not true.

We Saw This Coming !

Some old people can't communicate are they too unworthy of care? This person is insane and possibly demonic.

When I was speaking in high schools on the subject of abortion 40 years ago the students didn't believe me when I said that abortion was legal through all nine months, it was over the top for them so they chose not to believe it. Now they are saying "let's kill toddlers who can't speak yet.

When we were involved in the pro-life movement everyone was against late term abortions. I told the students that one day it would lead to killing born babies and elderly. Now here we are, just as I told them.

Loving the Lord is Essential

Psalm 31:23

"Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant."

True Friends

Treat your friends like your best buds. If they have done well rejoice with them. If they have messed up weep and help them return to obedience. This is the nature of the deep love of God.

It is not love watching a friend fall off of a cliff without warning them. It is not love accepting sin in them merely to remain their friend, this is selfish.

When we love people we want God's best for them, even if hurting them temporarily.

Proverbs 27:5-7 "…5 Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed. 6 The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. 7 The soul that is full loathes honey, but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet.…"

A "yes person" is not a good friend! A good friend is one who speaks truth from God even if it means personal loss to them.

A good friend desires their pal to grow and become more holy. A good friends knows that only obeying God brings blessing for eternity, not just for a lifetime.

Proverbs 18:23-24 "…23 The poor man pleads for mercy, but the rich man answers harshly. 24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother."

Hallelujah!!!!

Redundancy of Praise

Praising people for doing good seems redundant.

Since there is no need to change what is good doesn't it make sense that we would work on what needs fixing? I think so, its not negativity as so many people think, its correction to cause people to do what is productive and healing.

Hebrews 3:13 "13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. "

Proverbs 27:6
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy."

Colossians 3:16
"Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God."

Psalm 141:5
"Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me; It is oil upon the head; Do not let my head refuse it, For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds."

Luke 17:3
"Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him."

1 Thessalonians 5:14
"We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone."

I see no scripture that says praise daily. Encouraging someone is not praise it is the action of a coach, "keep going the way you are going its the right way." This is far different from praise. Praise is superficial and smacks of flattery.

If someone is already doing the right thing it makes no sense to spend time on convincing them to begin doing right, they are getting it on their own.

I am convinced it makes more sense to help fix what is broken so it will become well.

Once someone changes the way they do things to become righteous they will not go back to the old way again, unless they were play acting without commitment to righteousness.

Romans 12:1-2 "1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.…"

We can rejoice with those who rejoice but constant adulation is not good for people it causes them to depend on it to keep going. If we are following people instead of Christ we are fleshly and often arrogant.

We have seen this in ministries frequently, those who become popular, hearing praise all the time tend to forget the mission and begin playing to the crowd for those applause. This is when they begin to compromise the word of God, even going off into heresy to keep the applause coming.

When we can obey God without the need for compliments is the day we are truly walking with God. The prophets had to do it, the apostles had to do it, the disciples had to do it and we must do it too, trusting Christ alone.

Psychology the Great Fraud!!!

Psychology is the biggest fraud ever foisted on the human race. It has nothing to offer for the born again believer.

Much of the determinations of the psychologist is based on their observations not medical science. I have seen people being diagnosed with depression when they had none at all.

Since people have been led to believe the doctors are gods they will swallow anything they are told by a doctor.

Yes, doctors have much training in medical science and are able to do amazing things because of their knowledge. However psychology is based on Darwinism not science.

Darwinism is a sudo-science based on observations and guesses. Often those in psychology will see the tactics and actions of people but will interpret them based on evolution rather than on the Word of God.

Someone is not depressed just because they are in pain and may even be crying. Their tears are nothing more than the bodies way of releasing stress caused by the pain.

With born again believers we can have great joy right in the middle of our pain without depression, but the unsaved world cannot relate to this since their emotions rule nearly everything in their lives.

For so long the psychological industry was telling us to pay close attention to our feelings and not to deny them. However good that sounds they left off one thing, that we should acknowledge our feelings to be able to evaluate them according to truth and act only on the basis of truth not the feelings. Truth comes from God in His Word.

Feelings are often wrong, the devil uses them to evoke anger when there need not be any anger. Those who are not born again are prey to the devil's tactics of "feelings baiting."

This phrase just came to me as I was writing, it makes good sense though, "feelings baiting" is when the devil makes us feel a certain way that evokes anger or sadness, it is when we lean into those feelings and act upon them that we can unnecessarily destroy relationships.

When we take note of the feelings and compare them to truth we often realize the feelings had no basis in fact but had the potential to blow up a relationship. It is feelings that keeps us in bondage and fear that we will not be liked if we establish boundaries for our lives. The fear that people will not like us is based on feelings. If we have to keep a friend by denying our personal convictions then our friend is not true anyway, it is best to let them go while making new friends who support our direction in life, that is walking the narrow path with Christ.

1 Peter 5:8-9 "8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.…"

When we know the Bible well and seek the Lord in prayer we have the power to dissipate the feelings in favor of rational godly words and actions. The devil has no power over those who live in truth rather than according to their feelings.

The unsaved worldly person tends to be driven by their feelings. Once the feelings have taken over there is no reasoning with these people.

Proverbs 29:8-10 "…8 Mockers inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger. 9 If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution. 10 Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.…"
Remember the term, "feelings baiting", it may come through a person but the devil is on the person's shoulders figuratively speaking. The devil can also make this happen even when no one is around, he is the voice that spreads the lies in our mind. Just as he did with Eve in the garden, causing her to distrust God. He still does this today!!!!

It is pride that wells up within us that wants to make sure we are heard. The pride is only a temptation until it leads to wrong actions. In other words, consult God first before saying or doing anything. The response is not important, there are many sinful responses to good things. The obedience is what God is wanting, our obedience in speaking truth.

Hallelujah!!!!!
