Grace not a License to Sin

Grace is not based on what works but on God's mercy! How can we take so lightly what cost Christ so much.

Do You Want to Fit into the World or Walk with God!

This won't be a popular post but it is the absolute truth. Faith on fire will inevitably offend the stationary. Faithfulness to Christ ALWAYS evokes opposition. The lukewarm/false convert will secretly hate, gossip, call you names, and lie about you, all while sitting in their comfortable, complacent little "cliques". Jesus said that those who are His would be hated for His namesake, so why are so many trying so hard to fit and blend in? Are you looking to please God, or your "friends"? Sadly, MANY will hear the words, "Depart from me. I never knew you" come from the mouth of Jesus. Remember that all who 'profess' Christ do not actually possess the Spirit of Christ. Profession without possession.

Galatians 4:16
"Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?"

Luke 21:17; John 8:45; 15:18; Matthew 7:23; James 4:4

Exercise Discernment to be Wise

In order to "come out from among them" we must know their character. Discernment is a gift we must develop through knowledge of God's Word. It is not a virtue to pretend someone is alright because they were friendly to us, its the same as lying.

1 John 4:1
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world."

Anyone who says I try to see the good in everyone is really saying; "I want everyone to like me so I have to ignore any clues something might be wrong." This is not wise nor is it love. When we are wise and loving we face truth in ourselves and in everyone else too.

Ignoring the red flags because you wanna see the good in people will cost you later.

The Test of An Authentic Friend!

This is the truth!!! I have had several "Christians" become angry with me when I speak the Word of God when it doesn't match what they want to believe. Just recently I was blocked by someone pretending to be my friend until she could not control me or influence me to think the way she thinks.

A good test of a friendship is how they act when you disagree with them about something. Raging, rejecting and disappearing is a very good indicator that a friend was only keeping us around to be clones of them.

Preaching Truth Makes You Unpopular

The Court Jester is a Fool

The court jester was considered a fool. Acting in immature ways to get others to laugh is playing the roll of a court jester.

Spontaneous Humor is Different from Contrived Joke Cracking

Spontaneous humor because of life experiences are normal and natural, contrived joke cracking is foolish and frustrating.

Remaining Stupid Takes Hard Work

We are seeing fewer and fewer people who are thinking and acting in a wise manner. When a people have negated God and His principles to the point of considering them embarrassing, we have lost the nation.

Proverbs 22:15 " 15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him."

The sad thing is that the next generations are failing to grow up. Remaining as children in giant grown up bodies is dangerous for any culture.

Tantrums are not worrisome when a child is two years old but when that person grows into an adult and still acting like a two year old. The life of the childish adult is destroyed and likely everyone around them .

Amusement Only Promotes a Stagnant Mind.

"Muse" to think,
"Amuse" to not think.
Think about it!

We do become what we watch on television and with whom we engage on a regular basis.  Choose wisely your friends and the things you watch.  

Where Do Your Values Lie

We have been in the pro-life battle for nearly 50 years now. For the first time since Row v Wade, we have a president who has taken up the charge against baby murders. May the Lord bless him for his stand for the unborn. Perhaps one day we will see an emancipation proclamation for the unborn the way we saw it for the blacks in 1863.

The Republicans took up the fight against slavery. It was the democrats that declared the blacks non-persons in the Dred Scott decision of 1857.

For all you who are democrats, think on this! It was the Democrat party that has pushed for slavery and murder of the unborn all down through the years. Democrats have always been for dominance over others. It was the Democrats that wanted to keep people dependent on government. It was the Democrats that wanted to kill and use anyone that didn't measure up to their idea of "valuable or viable."

All down through the years the Democrats continued the lie that they were for the working man. This could not be farther from the truth.

Now we have the democrats pushing every wicked agenda possible to further down grade the country. Because they love power and hate people, they will continue their quest for dominance over anyone and everyone when they can get away with it.

The Democrats are narcissists, they will accuse others of what they are doing but the others are not. When the Democrats say you are liars, they are describing themselves. While the Democrats are accusng others of being baby killers in war, they are actively promoting the murdering of babies in their own country through abortion, to the tune of 4000 babies a day!!!! More than 60 million people have been murdered at the hands of wicked doctors through the empowerment of the government engineered by the Democrats.

Thankfully right now we have a president who is working to destroy the abortion mills through the removal of their funds. I do not know how long it will last, but perhaps fewer babies will be murdered because of his bold moves.

The Democrats promote abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, euthanasia, pornography, marriage between same sexes while declaring loudly that they cannot tell the difference between one gender and another one.

I do not believe a born again believer could remain a Democrat with a conscience. If you are a Democrat and your reason for remaining in the party system is because of unions or any job, then you are endorsing all the evil they promote simply to have a paycheck. Please rethink your values and priorities.
