When we believe God and His Word it will result in obedience to Him and rejection by most people. Often we find ourselves with very few friends even within the Christian community. Most people are deeply invested in fitting into the culture. They think, "if everyone else thinks this way it must be right."
Matthew 7:13-14 "The Narrow and Wide Gates
13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it."
John 10:9 "I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture."
Isaiah 35:8 "And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it—only those who walk in the Way—and fools will not stray onto it."

Nullifying the Word of God by Our Traditions
Genesis 2:24 "24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh."
When we look at a married couple after they walk down the aisle after their vows, their fleshly bodies remain two separate people. We see two people, not only one fleshly body, walking down that aisle. This is why I believe that when God said "you shall become one flesh," it meant they would no longer operate independently in the flesh. They will operate as a unit even though each one has a different function within the one flesh unity.
When I have physical problems that I go to the doctor for, my husband does not have that problem because we are separate in the flesh. However, he does have empathy for me because we are one in the spirit, and I for him when he is ill.
When God makes two people one in the spirit, they walk in unity of the flesh.
When we operate in life as a unit in the flesh, we still remain separate people, each doing our calling that supports and enhances the life of the person we have been joined to in the spirit.
I have heard many times the sense of regret that never goes away when two people divorce. Even though they have separated in the flesh, there is a sense of emotional connection that never leaves just because the state allowed for a divorce.
Divorce does not dissolve the spiritual union it only divides the spoils and separates the flesh, but it does not separate the spiritual union.
I am convinced there is a spiritual connection to any children from the union that God created in the marriage. When people walk away in the flesh from their spiritual union, it causes deep distress in the children of that union.
Those who divorce who are honest will tell you they sense a loss that never goes away when they divorce their covenant spouse, the first person they married for the first time.
This is why God said if someone divorces they are to remain single, the second marriage never connects the same way the first one does because it is adultery in the eyes of God and the spirit of the individuals is not melded together.
Luke 16:17-18 "17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. 18 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
The modern idea that a marriage can be completely severed by a decree of the state, allowing for a new union with another, is absolutely wrong, and the devil loves it.
The devil loves it because it destroys any possibility of reconciliation between the separated covenant spouse when one of them pretends to remarry another.
1 Corinthians 7:11 "(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband is not to divorce his wife."
Mark 7:13 "13 thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”

No One Can Undo What God Has Done
The world does not understand the melding of two spirits into one when someone takes their vows, this is a work of God not something the two people do. We know a married couple remains two people in the flesh, but their spirit is one and is not severed until death. No person, or government can undo that spiritual melding done by God.

The Wrong Focus Nationally
If you look at what conservatives love about Trump, here they are: the borders, the economy, personal freedom, abortion, and other things that make for a better life. What you do not see is a call to repentance, an authentic gospel, and a brokenness over the sins of the nation.
A leader who depends on the false spiritual nature of someone like Paula White does not know Christ.
The only prayer believers should utter for our leadership is the prayer of repentance and salvation. Nothing else matters; even if they clean up America for a period of time, it will only delay the recurrence.
The more comfortable the nation becomes the less likely it will turn to Christ in sorrow over the sin.
It is quite possible God is showing us how easily deceived Christians have become, that someone is saved merely because he evokes the name of a God he does not know himself.
To our president and his mentor, Paula White, God is merely an idea to be used to gain something.
Isaiah 29:13
13 And the Lord said:
“Because these people draw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
Ezekiel 33:31 "31 And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say, but they will not do it; for with lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on their gain."
Matthew 15:7–9 7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
8 o“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me;
9 in vain do they worship me,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
Matthew 23:28 "In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness."
Amos 5:21-23 "“I hate, I despise your feasts! I cannot stand the stench of your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer Me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; for your peace offerings of fattened cattle I will have no regard. Take away from Me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps."

The Bible is still True From Beginning to End
Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind." The Bible is still True!
Identifying with a Man is to Negate Jesus Christ
If you say you are a Calvinist or Armenian, you are disobeying God. Calvin was a mere man with many flaws sprinkled with Catholic thinking. Arminius was a theologian who also had some wrong doctrine.
God specifically said we are not to call ourselves by a man's name.
1 Corinthians 3:3-5 "…3 for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man? 4 For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men? 5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role."
If anyone calls themselves by a particular ritual, such as "Baptism," it is the same principle. Using one command or man's name to identify us is to not identify with Christ alone, who lives in us. He alone gets glory. We are to embrace all of the Bible, not only one particular aspect of it.
1 Corinthians 1:10-12
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction. / My brothers, some from Chloe’s household, have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”
Romans 16:17 "Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them."
Titus 3:10 "Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,"
Denominations are disobedience and divisiveness against God!

God is not Overlooking the Sins of America
There have been over 64 million babies murdered through abortion since the Roe v Wade decision came down from the high courts of this nation in 1973.....AND we think God is just going to overlook this? Think again!!!!
Homosexual marriage is legal in all 50 states now in the United States...And we think God is just going to overlook this? Think Again!!!
Divorce and remarriage are accepted by nearly all "Christians" now in this country. Rarely do we find anyone who does not support it in one way or another, even if they don't do it themselves, they defend it in others.....And we think God is just going to overlook this? Think Again.
Galatians 4:16 "16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?"
Those who speak out against sin are the ones most abused by those who defend sin.
More of the Bible is ignored and dismissed than is obeyed in our culture, even by those who call themselves "Evangelicals." They think merely 'saying' they are Bible believers is enough; they don't have to actually obey it.
Matthew 15:8-9 "8 ‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
9 And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
When it is the experience of believers to be excluded, rejected, gossiped against and mocked for speaking the very words of God, then we know we have entered the end of the end times.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 Difficult Times Will Come
3 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."
Those who say they are Christians but act as though they have contempt for the Bible, claim to have "religion" but deny Christ in their refusal to test their ideas according to the Bible, rather than attempting to fit the Bible to their desired culture, are lying to themselves and others. This is rebellion against God and evidence that they may have never been born again.
Matthew 7:13-15 "13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. 15 Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."
Since it is hard to discern anymore who is of Christ and who is not our job is to challenge those who walk in disobedience to pray and seek God to see if they are in the faith.
2 Corinthians 13:5 "5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!"
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.’"
Warning; many who attend churches every week, even have some Biblical things to say, perhaps even live decent lives, may not be saved because they are walking in their own pride and will instead of the will of the Holy Spirit.
