Truth Offends Those Who Hate God

Killing Born Babies will Soon be Legal

If you have any questions as to how wicked the world is becoming just take a look at new laws that are in consideration. Many years ago when we were involved in the pro-life movement we were telling people where abortion would lead but they didn't believe us then.

 
When "killing' becomes normal in any culture the next step is expected, more barbaric and less respect for life.

 
Most people choose not to believe what they don't want to hear. Murders are escalating in cities all over our country because of the murder mentality that began with abortion.

 
Murder has always been around but now it is going to an entirely new level, the legalized murdering of babies that have already been born.

 
Abortion has been legal through all nine months from Roe v Wade in 1973, no one believed us then. After that they moved to partial-birth abortion in which the doctor could kill the babies halfway out of the womb, by tearing off their limbs, placing instruments in their heads to crush their skulls, removing brain matter by suction, as they were coming out of their mother.

 
We said this would happen but no one believed us because it sounded so utterly unthinkable to many back in that day. But, here we are the very thing we said would happen is happening.

 
Disrespect for people and human life brings about barbarous consequences. Only those who are blind and wicked could ever do this to a baby, and yet now it is becoming legal to kill them after they are born and several months old.

 
Who of you would raise their hand that America could ever be great again? If your hand is raised put it down, it is foolish to think God is giving to overlook this monstrous disrespectful treatment of babies.

Next is will be open murder of the elderly, if you don't believe that then you are willfully blind as were so many back in 1973.

Judging Righteously is Different From Judging to Elevate Self

Sometimes Christians think they are being righteous by evaluating everything about the lives of others. They see one thing someone said or did, they don't like it and judge it as a sin.

These people don't see the whole matter, they only have a small piece of the puzzle in someone's life and yet they enjoy judging to make themselves superior.

Did you know this kind of judging is a sin? We are not responsible to judge every small matter in a person's life, but narcissists love to do this to elevate themselves.

If they can judge someone as more of a sinner than themselves they can feel a sense of being stable. Narcissists can never feel secure within themselves unless they are making sure others are less than them.

When we encounter those who want to judge our lives with little to no evidence of their desired belief about us we are watching the devil work his wiles to destroy relationships.

Notice I said, "their desired belief about us", this is important because those who hold others in contempt who do not fall in line with them, have an idea of us they want to believe but is not true.

Unless the narcissist repents of their false judging there is no possibility of a relationship with them. Everything will be a competition, they are not teachable, nor do they wish to clarify matters to clean up messes that they make through their attitudes.

The Bible calls these personalities "fools."

Proverbs 18:2

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."

We want to be people who look at the truth and make no judgments without plenty of evidence and witnesses.

Most of the time there is no need to judge others, we can accept quirks and flaws as we love people. Those who remember their own flaws and quirks do not judge anyone else over these things. Perhaps the narcisisst judges others to avoid looking at themselves. They will not admit to anything that needs work in themselves.

1 Corinthians 11:30-32 30 “That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.…”

Feeling or Facts, the World or Christ

In these last days, we are watching decisions being made by many based on feelings instead of facts. They interpret most things based on their feelings and the devil is messing with feelings and thoughts to control mankind everywhere now.

1 Corinthians 2:15-16 “The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment. 16“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.”

Only those who are thinking with the mind of Christ have any defenses against the lies that the devil is spewing. He did this in the garden with Eve when he was able to convince her that she could not trust God. He manipulated her thoughts and her feelings just as he is doing today in everyone.

This is the very reason we cannot take personally all the attacks when we use scripture to prove a point or to bring someone back to believing God. Those who attack us for telling the truth are deceived by the culture around us. They have been listening to everyone else but God.

When God is our source and we are cleansing our mind with His Word every day we are more prone to see the deception happening in the world, we will think more deeply and rationally. Let us not become caught up in the hype around us, it will only make us crazy and defensive.

When we get to the point that we no longer feel the need to defend ourselves and just speak the truth with love in our hearts, then we can keep ourselves from becoming like those who attack us. The devil loves to push fleshly hot buttons in us, we must not allow him.

Romans 8:4-6 so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,”

The more we listen to ungodly chatter and the pressure from the world the more we are likely to act just the way they act.

2 Corinthians 6:17 “Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,”

We cannot remain close to God and the world at the same time. Our flesh is weak, it will become like those with whom we spend the most time.

Romans 16:17 “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.”

Wicked friends will attempt to divide husband and wife, extended family and organizations, even churches. We must keep our distance from those who are being used by the devil to manipulate others causing trouble that otherwise would not be if the trouble makers were not around.

Titus 3:10 “As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him,”

2 Timothy 3:5 “Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”

1 Corinthians 15:33 “Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

When we surround ourselves with those who love the Lord we will hold one another up, walking the same path, that is to glorify God and be the witnesses of the fruit of the Spirit. It is possible to have the fruit when everyone around us is not obeying God because the fruit is the qualities of the Holy Spirit, no one can take that from us or make us walk the crooked path.

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.”

Let’s not allow Satan to ruin our walk or diminish our joy, we must choose those who love Christ to be our friends and have the ability of a rubber man, letting the Satanic spiritual bullets bounce off of us.
