Every criminal in jail thinks they are basically a good person. Nearly every unsaved good person thinks the same thing. Sadly what they think of themselves will not gain them heaven.
The unsaved must admit they are wicked and need saving from their own sin and hell.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"
The happiest and freest day of my life was when I realized I had nothing to offer God. Then is when I was able to relinquish control to Jesus Christ.

They Were Warned!
Yes, what an exciting day for Noah when he saw God fulfilling what He said He would do. Noah must have lost lots of family members in that flood, but he never invited them to come aboard or built the ark bigger to accommodate them. He merely obeyed God. He preached before the wrath of God came and accepted the fate of those who refused to repent.

One Mediator, Only One
To Catholics still caught in the false system that keeps them in bondage, may the Lord deliver you!
If the pope were infallible in matters of faith and morals then He would be a god. He is a man with a view of religion that is contrary to the One True God.
1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
No one is between me and Christ, He alone is my source for everything.

Everyone a Criminal!
Everyone is a criminal in their heart before they are born again, even if they never commit a crime or land in jail. Crimes against God are every bit as evil as crimes against humanity. All sin is crime against God. All have sinned and all must either pay for their sin in hell or trust Christ to be cleansed and covered in His blood!

Does anyone else see the correlation?
Isaiah 3:11-13 "…11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done. 12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths. 13 The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.…"

Its Alright to be You!
There are those who just love to feel superior. They will pick at everything you do, the silliest things!
My new phrase when someone is picky about how I do something that is not sinful: "This is me being me and its O.K."

Walking Independently!
Until we can walk independently of people we will remain in bondage to them. We are only in sync with others if they are humble believers who love truth.

God Knows My Heart?
If you say "God knows my heart" to excuse your sin you are right, He knows you don't care what He thinks!

Some Tolerance is Lunacy
Common sense tells us that the tolerance required today toward religious beliefs would be madness if applied to any other issue. Should police be tolerant of crime, doctors tolerant of disease, judges tolerant of false testimony, etc.? Yet a tolerance is mandated in spiritual matters which in any other context would be lunacy.
Their words are not Ours!
Narcissists always put word in the mouths of those they attack. Just as they add to the scriptures they will add to our words too!
There is confusion when someone says we said something we never said. These narcissists will claim we do what they do, leaving everyone in the room believing we were the naughty ones.
They do this to God too! Many people claim they know the Bible but refuse to prove their point from the very words of God. They rage to shut the truth teller down while appearing as though they know, even though their evidence has more to do with opinion than facts.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."

A Young Man's Poem
BY A 15-year-old SCHOOL KID who got an A+ for this entry:
The Lord's Prayer Is not allowed in most US Public schools any more.
A kid in Minnesota, wrote the following
NEW School Prayer:
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all..
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the State..
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles...
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
Michael Ortis

Feeling Safe?
So many people I know are interested in feeling safe with God, but don't really want Him. They want His stuff but they don;t want Him.
Reading His word for comfort for ourselves has little to do with worshiping Him.
God hates rituals and obligations, He wants our love and devotion.
Amos 5:21-23
"21 “I hate, I reject your festivals,
Nor do I [a]delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 “Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.
23 “Take away from Me the noise of your songs;
I will not even listen to the sound of your harps."

And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.
23 “Take away from Me the noise of your songs;
I will not even listen to the sound of your harps."

Its Easier Than You Think
Salvation is so easy most people won't believe it. All one has to do is trust that Christ paid the price for sin for us and begin to trust in Him.
When we trust in Him we will know that He will guide us, discipline us to train us in holiness and everything else that is good for us.
If you still want to do things your own way without His help, then go for it and watch your personal world, emotions and spiritual security crash and burn
When we have trusted Him, He makes us into a new creation and He takes care of everything else too. Hallelujah!!!!
Luke 12:8-10 "8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven."

Evaluate Everything!
The Church fellowships within and evangelizes without.
As it was, it is.
«Preaching on the street to the public is a completely different thing than bringing all of society into your dining room. The disciples preached on the street, but the street didn't come into their intimate fellowships within the homes of the disciples.
The Scriptures do teach us to keep certain things away from the ears of the rest of society. The Scriptures teach us to protect the intimacy of our fellowship from being infiltrated with wolves. This is why it is impossible for you to have 4000 friends and protect your online fellowship at the same time. I went from 2000 friends down to 100 friends not because people unfriended me, but because I came to know who should and should not be reading every word that passes through my heart. There is a place of intimacy for your fellowship with brothers and sisters in the Lord, otherwise, that fellowship might not be in the Lord. Should every dog in society know what I am praying about? Better yet, should every dog in society hear me praying?»

Socialism is Freeing......NOT
And you think socialism makes you more free, think again!!!!
Quoted from Saul, the ultimate socialist!
Gee this sounds familiar.
Saul Alinsky”s Doctrine: 8 steps to topple a nation and create a socialist state
BY IWB · OCTOBER 16, 2015
1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
End Quote
When we reject God and are determined to use our own fallen brains we can expect chaos, poverty and irrational respnses to everything! We began well as a nation and finish in disaster.
Oh foolish Americans God might be sayiing to us just as He did to the Galatians.
Galatians 3: 1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? 2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?"

Damaged by Our Sinful Nature
We are all damaged by our sinful nature, it is God who changes all that when we trust in Christ.
Hell Took Over America
You ask, "what the hell happened", that's it; "hell happened." The devil was able to use the minds of people because Christ is not in them. The Christians have become silent to be accepted and now are assimilating into the world. Silence can bring capitulation and most often does!
"satan took over a godless America and God allowed it!!"
Who thinks for You, Christ or the Devil?
The way a person thinks drives their actions and attitudes. Who is doing your thinking for you, Christ or the devil?
They Ridiculed Him for Righteous Choices!
Liberals/narcisists ridicule what they are not capable of understanding! They can't lie against someone when there are legitimate witnesses!
Mike Pence understands that liberals will do ANYTHING undermine their opponents
Ridicule for Silly Things Show Arrogance!
Narcissists will ridicule us for silly things, showing their ignorance. When these people want to demean you but can't find anything they will try to make you look foolish for a word you used. They only manage to make themselves look foolish when it is discovered that they were completely wrong.
Don't hold your breath they will never admit they were wrong.
God say to "let the ignorant person be ignored. When someone shows their ignorance by mocking something legitimate we should ignore them, they are foolish!

The Poor will always be with You
There are many in our country who are poor. Rather than chastising responsible people who manage their money well, to give to the poor, we ought to be chastising the poor for their entitlement mentality. This country has been very generous. Churches give away free clothing, there are many soup kitchens and even the government takes from the hard working people to give to those who are lazy.
Using every excuse they can come up with to say they are disabled when they could do something to earn their own way these people believe they deserve to be taken care of by others.
Yes, there are some people who need help but many who are receiving it do not need that help. They would just rather sit on their bums and take from those who spent a lifetime of working to take care of themselves..
In our country the "poor" don't need it, most are already sucking off of the government on the money of those who worked hard all their lives. Nearly all the poor people I know are there because they have been irresponsible, using drugs, alcohol, gambling and foolishly spending their resources, not to mention refusing to work or follow rules to keep a job.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 "For even when we were with you, this we commanded you: that if any would not work, neither should he eat."
This is the face of socialism, allowing the lazy to remain so while penalizing the hard workers for their diligence.
Its not God's way but it sounds alright to the unbelieving world.

Going Home Soon
God commanded us to be bold that people would see the importance of the message of the gospel. When we speak of something as though its not very important, we leave the impression that its something not worth pondering.
Many church gatherings today are spreading a gospel according to the world, that is that everything is about comfort and wealth. Leaving Christ appear as one Who is indifferent about sin.
The time is coming soon when believers will be taken out of the world to go home. Those who are not serious about their eternal home, which will either be heaven or hell, will be left in shock that all their good works were nothing more than filthy rags to God.
What we think of ourselves is of no consequence to God. Its what God thinks of us that matters. He knows our fallen and despicable state, but has given us a way out of it. He has provided the way of salvation for us that required nothing other than to trust in Him.
When we trust Christ He begins all the work in us, we can rest in Him. Any part of ourselves that is still working to earn salvatiton must be removed to further make us into His image.
Christ is coming soon, do not be left behind!!!!!
2 Timothy 4:1-7 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
