How many people see God shining the light of Truth (Jesus Christ) through believers who want to snatch people from the jaws of hell and bring them to a place where they can have eternity with Christ in paradise, and yet are met with anger, hatred, and hostility for their efforts?
In our day, often believers are reviled for their love of warning to help someone see their need for Christ. Those who respond in anger at correction within the church system of today do not consider that love as love; they see it as a personal attack to be rejected and punished.
The world will interpret kindness as allowing each person to make destructive choices without admonishment. Imagine Christ, our God, dying to pay the penalty for our sin because of His great love and being hated by mankind for it.
An event that gave this example to my husband when he was out hunting many years ago. He was with his father and brothers in the woods. They each took their stand in the forest, not far from one another but out of sight of each other.
The night was beginning to fall, the clouds were moving in, and a light mist was enveloping the forest where they were. The brothers and his father were already on the road below while my husband was still disoriented in the woods.
Anyone who knows our region knows that when the light begins to fade and the mist is coming down, there is no visibility at all out there.
My husband realized he should go to the road. He walked in the forest a few feet, saw a large stump and began walking in the direction of the road.
After several minutes of walking, he came upon another stump that looked exactly like the stump he passed earlier. He began to walk again, and again another identical stump appeared in the fog. He realized then that he was walking in circles, and panic began to set in.
In our woods out here, people become lost all the time amongst the 300-foot-tall trees; it is very easy, in the dark with misting rain, to lose one's sense of direction.
He sat down for a moment to ponder what to do next, realizing he may have to spend the night in the woods until morning to find his way out.
Then out of the mist came a light rolling back and forth across the forest ceiling. He realized then that his father knew he was lost and began to shine his flashlight into the forest to give my husband a sense of direction. My husband followed that light and was able to find his way to the road where his family was waiting for him.
He never forgot what happened and has told many people about it because it was an example of Christ and His light. He knew if he had not followed that light, he might have been in danger of being lost in the cold without protection until morning or he might have wandered so far he would never find his way out.
Some people die in the forest in this region because of the vast forest. One can wander many miles and never find their way out. Some people are never found, and others are found having lost their lives.
This account in the woods left my husband with a profound sense of what it is like for believers when Christ shines the light of HIs love on mankind.
Some follow the light, trust in Christ, and are saved for an eternity from the terrible death of hell. And, sadly, others ignore the light, wander around until the end of their lives refusing it, and end up in the terrible fires of hell because they were going to live their own life their own way without regard to where it leads.
Many people see the light of Truth in believers and resent them for warnings of what is to come if they do not trust in Christ.
Would it have made any sense for my husband to be angry with his father for shining the light into the forest to help him find his way out? Of course not, just as it makes no sense for people to be angry with born-again Christians for their warnings that Christ is coming soon and they must trust in Him if they are to be transformed and saved from hell.
Stubbornness against warning is immature and irrational. Only a child would throw a fit, a tantrum, when he was not allowed to do something that will harm them.
Matthew 10:22 "22 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved."
Matthew 10:21-23 "…21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next."
I have encountered many people in my life who act like spoiled children when they are corrected about something that will help them improve and grow into mature adults. They are focused on the correction and completely ignore the message, as though how they feel is far more important than the lesson that is needful.
We are living in an irrational world now, one almost entirely focused on self-exaltation without regard for the consequences of disregarding the truth, and worse reviling Christ Who died for them so they could one day be walking with Him in paradise.
May those we have spoken to and prayed for who have not yet trusted in Christ see their need for Christ and repent to be saved.
Acts 16:31 "And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
John 8:12: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Bonhoeffer Had It Right
Yes, people are getting dummer by their own choice.
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."

Christ Who Died for Us
Psalms 34:19-22 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned."

If You Need to Control Others You are Insecure in Need of a Savior
Anyone who treats people differently based on their popularity is playing a role for those they manipulate with kindness; it isn't kindness at all; it's maneuvering.
The real them is the one who is mean to those they don't care about impressing. Anyone who is kind and loving in their basic character is that way all the time with everyone. They don't change based on who they are with and they do not flatter to gain advantage.
If someone is kind to everyone else and rude to you when no one is looking, you have just experienced their true character. There is no kindness in the character of those who love those who can provide something for them, even if it is only flattering them to gain their approval.
Matthew 5:44: "Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you".
1 Peter 3:9: "Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called".
Our basic character is revealed during hardship or difficulties. Those who respond in rudeness at the slightest challenge have bitterness in their hearts.
Those who follow Christ have no need to manipulate or exert power over others because they are secure in Christ. Insecure people know they have no power so they pretend to have it over those they think are weaker than they.
Psalm 91 shows us that when we are secure in Christ, we have no need to have power over others through intimidation, manipulation, and mockery.
Psalm 91 "1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge
10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.
14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

and show him my salvation.”
The New Covenant Replaced the Old
Those Biblical traditions in the Old Testament were given to the Jews as signs of the Messiah to come.
As a Gentile, I am not commanded to follow them, but to follow the Messiah Who has died and risen from the dead for the sake of paying for our sins.
I do not celebrate any of the man-made holidays: Christmas (which was Catholic, based on their "mass"), Halloween, which is clearly pagan, Easter, which was based on false gods, which were also pagan.
None of these holidays were given by God, and all of them mixed paganism with Christianity.
Mark 7:13 "13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
When Christ came and fulfilled His mission, we no longer need the holidays of the Old Testament; they were wonderful teaching tools given by God until He fulfilled the promise of His coming, and they remain wonderful teaching tools today, but there is no obligation to follow them.
Now we celebrate what He has given us based on that fulfillment; that is the Lord's Supper. Before the cross, the Jews celebrated the Messiah to come. Now all those who have trusted in Christ celebrate that He has already come in the Lord's Supper that Jesus Christ commanded.
Now we remember what has been finished on the cross on our behalf.
1 Corinthians 14:26 "What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church."
1 Corinthians 10:16-17 "Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
Luke 22:19-20 "And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you."
Matthew 26:26-28 "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.” Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
All of the symbols of the Old Testament spoke to the Messiah to come.
The symbols of the Lord's Supper speak to the fulfillment of that promise of the Messiah, and now we celebrate that He has come and rose from the dead, awaiting the direction from the Father to come and gather His children in the rapture.
Hallelujah!!!! We are not burdened with man-made holidays or past promises; we are full of the blessing of promises fulfilled and future promises yet to be fulfilled!!!

The Escalation of Evil in our World Today is Leading Us into the End of the End
Back in 1973, when Roe v. Wade occurred, a couple of years later, when we were active in the pro-life movement, we were mocked for saying that murdering babies in the womb would increase, as well as hatred toward children, because of the "killing mentality" that resides in women who do not love their children.
Now, infanticide is going to become popular as long as women think they can make an excuse for their actions.
Here we are today, battling the liberals and family haters, about how women will excuse themselves for murdering their children.
The venom coming from these women is intense and demonic. Bullying those who will not stand with them in their mentality of murder is increasing.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
Difficult Times Will Come
1 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."
We must speak out against this evil, but the tide cannot be turned back now as long as God-hating, rebellious liberals remain in control, and they will, when the entire country has basically denied Christ either in words or in practice.
The end of the end is very near now; the church will be going home soon, and all hell will literally be unleashed when the Holy Spirit is removed.
The only way to avoid the terrible 7 year tribulation is to admit your sinful heart, confess your need for a Savior, and ask God to change you into a new creation. When He transforms you, He does it completely and forever; then you can look forward to the rapture, or, when you die, you will see Him face to face and live forever with Him.
Nothing has disturbed my soul more than this latest trial of a mother who wants an excuse to murder her children and, worse yet, thousands of wicked women supporting her. You would never have seen this incredible insanity 70 years ago.
