Feminists and Their Foolishness

There is a false humanistic teaching that newly married couples should delay having their children until they have their fun first. This is not from God but from the devil.
Let's take a look at why it is not of God. God designed a couple who love one another to create a family. The family is the stability of the home and society.
When one is self-focused and fun-focused they will not be inclined toward the lessons and joy of accomplishment in relationships, because their desire for adventure will overpower any needs of others that develop relationships.
Just two generations ago many women were excited to start their home and their life with their husbands. They loved the thought of the job of homemaking. They were created, productive, and happy.
I probably could not count the number of times I have been minimized or mocked for making the choice to stay at home, as so many other homemakers have experienced.
There is plenty of creativity to be expressed in the home, only those who lack creativity complain about how boring it is, they must have a boss telling them what to do in order to feel fulfilled.
The homemaker is the CEO of the household, if she is a creative person there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish all that she will be doing.
Proverbs 31 is an excellent expose on the life of the homemaker. Not only does she have excellence in her job she is seen in the community as being an asset to her husband. Because she does her job well her husband is respected in the city gates.
Ladies never allow the feminists to discourage you in your dedication to your home. Those who think you must be stupid because you work there think that because they do not do much in their home when they are there. They are "projecting" their own attitudes on to you. They are to be ignored and even pitied for their lack of understanding concerning homemaking.
Description of a Worthy Woman From God's Mouth to our Ears
10 An excellent wife, who can find her?
For her worth is far above jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She looks for wool and linen,
And works with her hands in delight.
14 She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
15 And she rises while it is still night
And gives food to her household,
And portions to her attendants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings, she plants a vineyard.
17 She surrounds her waist with strength
And makes her arms strong.
18 She senses that her profit is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
26 She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the activities of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness."
28 Her rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
29 “Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates."
The Proverbs 31 woman does not leave her home 8 hours a day every day leaving her children for others to raise. She makes things and sells them but her home is her base and she is deeply attentive to the needs of all those who live there.
In order to do this big job well one must be there all the time. It must be a priority above all else.
She does not need a "paycheck" from a boss who is not her husband, she is content to be her own boss. This job was given to her by God, not by her husband. She does this job to glorify God and in so doing her husband and family are blessed.
Those who mock homemaking do not understand the fulfilling and blessed career of the dedicated homemaker. They have been brainwashed by feminists who think they cannot have value unless they leave the God-ordained career God gave them, that is the home, everything in it, and all the people there.
The devil has done a bang-up job destroying the family by removing the woman from the home for selfish pursuits. The feminist chased after glory and money to fit into the world. The strong homemakers followed Christ even in the face of the mockers and arrogant feminists.
Women have been made to feel useless and stupid if they do not have a career outside the home. Sadly it was because they were weak and not Spiritually minded that they allowed others to train them to be like the feminists.
If you are a homemaker, praise God you have not allowed the apostate church and the feminists who are there to embarrass you into abandoning what God gave you to do.
In my life, I have been accused of being a feminist for speaking my mind by those who are feminists. They say they are submissive but work outside the home, while keeping their mouth closed about spiritual matters, as though remaining silent makes them submissive.
Yes, submissive to angry husbands who do not want to hear the truth but unsubmissive to God Who told us to be bold about the truth.
God wrote the entire Bible to women as well as men. When God said to speak the truth boldly it was given to the women too. Those who remain silent in the face of sin are enabling that sin. So, the feminist has the glory of man for their spiritual silence as well as giving into the worlds wisdom to pursue a career outside of the career God commanded for the woman.
Being submissive to man to gain their love will end up being disobedience against God.
Colossians 2:8
"See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ."
Proverbs 1:7
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."
1 Corinthians 3:19
"For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”
Women and men alike ought to obey God in their careers, each having a different role and each role having a specific purpose. Neither role is more elevated than another, they are equal in God's eyes.
The feminists were not satisfied with doing their own thing, they had to have the approval of the world. They employed mocking and intimidation to those who did not do things their way.
This is a sure sign that they knew something was wrong with their thinking. Those who are confident in their own mind need not force others to think as they do, through ungodly manipulation.
Are you a homemaker? If you are, praise God, ignore the foolish feminists and continue to enjoy your creative life as you run your own home diligently.
Hallelujah, God's way is best for all.

I KNOW IT'S THE END TIMES...IS IT TOO LATE FOR ME?

Beware of False Teachers

If you listen regularly to these people you are deceived and must repent.
Paula White, Beth Moore, and Joyce Meyers, all believe we can become "little gods", that Christ went to hell to suffer some more, that the cross was not enough, and much more that defies the Word of God. Not to mention they are women leading men in the church in direct violation of God's Word.
Get away from these false teachers, they are wolves, making fortunes on the backs of those who love their flattery.
Proverbs 29:5
"A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet."
Job 32:21-22
"I will not show partiality to any man or use flattery toward any person. For I do not know how to flatter, else my Maker would soon take me away."
Romans 16:18
"For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive."
There are many more of these wolves in the pulpits who are lying against God with their false doctrine. The palatial buildings they preach from are a testimony against them. Their greed and avarice for material wealth and popularity give them away, they are exposed for what they are, charlatans fleecing the flock.
However, the flock is allowing it because they love the flattery, joking, and lack of good Biblical teaching. Shame on these teachers and shame on those who keep following them.
Those who read their Bibles with the guidance of the Holy Spirit will not fall into the trap of the wolves.
John 16:12-14 "…12 I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. 13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.…"
Those who love their flattery and fancy buildings will resist any correction, they continue in their rebellion as they lead many people down the wide road to hell.
Matthew 24:10-12 "…10 At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another, 11 and many false prophets will arise and mislead many. 12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.…"
Do not follow those who pretend to love God but live as though they are living entirely for their own gain. One way to test them is to bring Scripture to them challenging their ways, their answers will reveal their heart. Often they rage or excuse themselves to justify, even worse they twist God's word to make it fit with their false doctrine.
2 Corinthians 6:16-18 "What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 18And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”…

You Cannot Follow Calvin and Christ too!

Those who follow Calvin are ignorant of his life and false doctrines. His belief system is against the Bible and the very words of Christ Himself.
Anyone coming here to defend and argue in defense of "Calvinism" will be blocked.
Remember those who follow after Calvin are most likely those who have never been Catholic. They do not understand that much of what he teaches comes right out of Catholicism. As a former Catholic I reject Calvin's teachings, when I walked away from Catholicism I left behind all that was "Catholic."
One cannot follow Calvin and Christ too. I notice that those who are Calvinistic mention him far more than they mention Christ.
It is in direct disobedience to God's Word that says we are not to follow men.
1 Corinthians 1:11-13 "…11My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul, “I follow Apollos, “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ. 13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?…"

Trusting God Always

False Doctrine of Losing Salvation

A lot of people are being taught they could lose their salvation. Some are feverishly trying in their own effort to keep from sinning. When we are born again we do not have to work really hard to do what is right, it is in our new nature to want to do right. When and if we fall we hate it because we hate sin as God hates it and we love righteousness as God loves it, we have been given His mind.
If you are walking around every day worried you could lose your salvation then perhaps you do not have it and never did.
Matthew 7:21-23
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
There are those who assert that because the angels were thrown out of heaven for their sin against God this means God will throw us out of salvation if we sin. This is completely erroneous.
The angels were never sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise. The angels didn't have what humans have. God extends grace to humans because we must live by faith, the angels were with God and knew without having to exercise faith. God dealt differently with them than He does with us.
If we could lose our "new creation that God made us" then God would never have said this: It would also mean that God was powerless to keep us saved after He changed us. The power would be in our hands and not His, this would be blasphemy. Sadly believing that "we must do our part to earn salvation gives all the power of saving grace to the human being.
Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?"
He also would not have said this:
1 Corinthians 3:14-16 "…14 If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames. 16 Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?…"
When we become born again we have a new nature, it's not according to what we do but what Christ has done. He works in us to continually sanctify us, it's an ongoing thing until we are freed from this sinful body.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
We are blameless not because of what we do but because Christ is blameless and He accounts His condition to us.
Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
There is no such thing as sinless perfection for the born again believer.
God also says this: Galatians 6:1
"Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted."
God never told us which sins would lose us our salvation, how big it had to be or how many because we do not live a "lifestyle" of sin and when we fall we are miserable because of the conviction of the Holy Spirit in us. This is why we don't see born again believers in continual sin.
Romans 6:1 "What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?…"
God told the church to confess their sin to be cleansed, not that we confess to keep from losing it.
1 John 1:9 "9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
The confusion comes because there are many pretenders, people who were never born again defending their sin claiming to be Christians. There are tares in the church, mostly tares these days of the end of the church age. Tares are people who look just like wheat but were never born again. These people bring division to the church by their disobedience to God.
Ephesians 1:13-14
"13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory."
We do not save ourselves or keep ourselves, it's all a work of Christ in us.
Ephesians 2:8-10 "…8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life."
We can no more keep our own salvation that we can to earn it in the first place. IF we cannot earn it, then why would we think we can keep it?
We are sealed on the day we become born again. The Holy Spirit is our Seal, He will never leave us.
Ephesians 1:13-14
13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also [c]believed, you were sealed in [d]Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise, 14 who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
At the end of the day it comes down to this; God gets all the glory, judgment day for the born again believer is according to our rewards for obedience to Him, not whether or not we will be saved.
So then brothers and sisters be at peace that God loves His children and will discipline them if they are disobedient but He will never throw them away ever!

Here For Another Century? May it not Be!!!

Some people believe we are going to remain on this earth for another century. They believe the Lord is not coming soon as we believe. If we look at all the signs God gave us about the end times, we must believe we are the last generation before the Lord comes for His church.
None of us will be here 100 years from now, that would make me 168 years old. Many of us are at the end of our lives now so one way or another we will be going home soon.
It is amazing how fast time flew, how quickly our children grew up, and now some of our grandchildren are grown and out of the house.
The older we get the more we realize how fleeting the time is and how insignificant were all the things we did that we thought were so important.
God described what the end times would look like and it sounds exactly like now. 2 Timothy 3 is the mentality we are living in right now. Sadly too, just like in the time of Noah everyone does what they think is right without regard for anyone else. God does not matter even to those who say they are Christians.
Most people except for a small remnant are actually seeking the Bible to learn the heart of God and obey His commands. Not because they are afraid but because they love Him.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."
Many people claim to be Christian and yet act in the ways described in Timothy 3.
The church has become about happiness, friendliness, and pleasure rather than a pursuit of holiness.
2 Timothy 4:1-3 "1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.…'"
May those who say they are believers question all their heart attitudes, their practices, and their desires to see if they line up with the Word of God.
