We have lost the country!!! These are the end times, nothing will get better, everything will become worse. We have reached the tipping point without a chance of returning. The times are those of the approaching Antichrist, there is no stopping it now.
I cannot understand why so many Christians will not believe in the Bible. It is clear that our nation is very wicked and deserves what happened to Soddom and Gomorrah.
The people who think we are going to be saved have denied how wicked our government is and how wicked and devious our president is, they are living in denial in order to feel safe.
Why do I express all this "doom and gloom"? Its simple really, many do not believe the Bible they claim to believe, they do not see the obvious signs of evil in our country. They think we can be saved merely by our verbal determination. Anger and words are not going to change the wickedness of this country.
When a country becomes as wicked and chaotic as this one our time is over. Not only our country though, its the entire world moving into intense evil and chaos to the point when people will be looking for a leader to bail them out.
We are watching prophesy before our very eyes, it cannot be stopped. However, what we can do is stand in our faith, speak the truth to the very few who might listen and move on from those who refuse the truth.
This is not the time to remain entangled in the cares of this world. It is time to repent from our "cultural Christianity" and become bold and strong in Christ as we wait for our home going.
Proverbs 28:1
"The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion."
Acts 28:31
"Proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance."
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Beware of Propaganda on Both Sides
"Q" is no more credible than the liberal news media. If someone goes to "twitter" or any other video or social media for their information it cannot be called research.
There is as much disinformation on the conservative side as there is on the liberal side. Just because conservatives are putting out articles and videos does not mean they are based on truth.
Never rely on articles and claims by people you have never met to determine the truth. Just because someone claims something does not mean what they claim is true.
In the past I have made the mistake of believing things that were not properly proven. I am now to the point that if I have not seen it for myself and God has not shown it to me I leave it alone entirely.
If only believers would spend as much time reading the Word and seeking the Holy Spirit as they do on articles and videos they would be able to discern much better God's will and His truth.
2 Timothy 3:7-8 " 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.…"
Too much misinformation can make someone irrational and dependent on more and more of it until they are addicted to it. Believers, please spend far more time in the Word than you do seeking out information on the things going on around us. Then we will be able to discern when something is not credible.
1 John 5:19-20 "19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.…"

A divorce is an act of violence in the eyes of God.
Malachi 2:15-17 "…15 Has not the LORD made them one, having a portion of the Spirit? And why one? Because He seeks godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
16 “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “and I hate when a man covers himself and his garment with violence,” says the LORD of Hosts. Therefore guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith.
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words; yet you ask, “How have we wearied Him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the LORD, and in them He delights,” or, “Where is the God of justice?”…"
Remarriage is further violence against the first spouse.
Luke 15:18 "18 Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
16 “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “and I hate when a man covers himself and his garment with violence,” says the LORD of Hosts. Therefore guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith.
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words; yet you ask, “How have we wearied Him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the LORD, and in them He delights,” or, “Where is the God of justice?”…"

Jesus Christ Sets Free anyone Who Wants It!
Jesus wants to set you free! No more alcohol, no more Cocaine, no more cigarettes, no more anger, fornication, lying, stealing!
No more cultural Christianity that leads to apostasy in the church.
God can deliver anyone from all these things, He makes a way for anyone who wants to be delivered.
2 Corinthians 5:16-18 "…16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:"

Hot or Cold, Both are for God
A person who is born again should be either hot or cold. When God said you must be hot or cold he was not saying "for or against."
He was saying you must be hot, on fire for Him or cold meaning a refreshing drink of cold water is the denotation in the original language.
God would never want anyone to be against Him. Both hot and cold are for Christ.
Those who are spewed out of God's mouth are those who are lukewarm, that is they are indifferent to Him. Indifference is a form of hatred. When someone is indifferent they lack empathy for the well being of someone else, this is hatred.
Revelation 3:14-16 "14 To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other! 16 So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!…"

Crass Living and Crass Language
This is just a warning to those who have been influenced by political and other groups who feel free to use crass language.
If there is any crass language even in the introduction I will not consider listening to or watching the video. If there is crass language in the article I will stop reading as soon as I see it.
Crass language is an indication to me that the person using it has little discernment or sensitivity to offending brothers and sisters, therefore I do not trust their wisdom.
Also, If anyone uses filthy language leaving out a few letters to pretend they are not using the word I will consider this lack of wisdom and will not listen. Leaving out a few letters in the filthy language is the same as if you have written the entire word, it leaves a picture in one's mind of that word and that act.
So many people now want to fit in with the world thinking they can justify the use of this language with "plausible deniability" because they left out some letters or words in a phrase. Even if you use only part of a phrase that contains some of the crass language making everyone think in their head about that phrase, you have effectively used that whole phrase.
Whenever I see these words with letters missing or phrases with some words missing that convey filthy language I will stop reading or listening.
Using crass and filthy language demonstrates an immaturity that needs to be repented of to grow in holiness.
Ephesians 4:29 "29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them."
Hebrews 5:13-14 "13 Anyone who has to drink milk is still a baby, without experience in applying the Word about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by continuous exercise to distinguish good from evil."
Believers please stop trying to fit into the world. Stop trying to be acceptable to the world by becoming like them in your verbiage.
2 Corinthians 6:16-18 "…16 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.” 18 And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
I may lose friends over this, I hope not, but if I do that will reveal the stubbornness of heart to resist correction and it will also reveal how important it is for the person using crass language to be acceptable to the world.
Crass living and crass language are clues of the character of a person.
Galatians 5:22-23 "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things, there is no law."
Hebrews 12:11
"For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it."
Proverbs 12:1
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid."
James 4:7-9 "7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.…"
