Want to Grow Spiritually, Let Christ Do it in You
The person who tries real hard to grow spiritually will not grow until he stops that nonsense and seeks Christ to work in him.

Dread Scott and Roe V Wade, Two Sides of the Same Coin
Just like the Dread Scott decision in the 1800s that said blacks were "non-persons" the unborn baby has been deemed a "non-person."
Since 1973 it has been legal to kill babies all the way through the ninth-month as long as they were not yet partially out of the womb. However, in recent years there has been a move for partial-birth abortion, in which the child can be partly out of the womb when they kill it. The next step is making it legal to kill a child already out of the womb entirely. The steps keep marching forward.
In the 1970's I spoke in classrooms against abortion. When I told the students it was legal all the way through the 9th month they wouldn't believe me. I had to show them the Roe v Wade decision, then they were appalled.
Planned Parenthood did not allow real information about abortion to come out because they knew it would cause problems. Most people at that time would have been against it. We have now murdered almost 70 million babies, real people who could not speak for themselves, killed by evil doctors and their own mothers who were deceived, possibly willful ignorance on the part of the mother, but for sure full knowledge on the part of the doctors.
So please a show of hands; how many of you think America should be blessed by God?
We owe a great debt for the blood of babies on the land. NO amount of repentance will pay that debt now. God must punish America and even the world for their murder of the babies.
Romans 1:18
"18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth."
Romans 11:7–8
7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, 8 as it is written,
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”
Ezekiel 5:15
"15 You shall be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations all around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and fury, and with furious rebukes—I am the Lord; I have spoken—"
God disciplined and punished His own people how much more He will punish wicked nations that claim to be Christian!!!!

To Mask or not to Mask
I don't wear masks except in places where it is required to enter, such as the doctors office.
However, I do not believe it is right for Christians to make a fuss when they are asked to wear one in a store or an office.
I heard a story, I have changed it up a little because it doesn't matter who it was but it is an important lesson for believers.
There was an account of someone refusing to wear a mask where he worked. He had no medical issues he just didn't like it. The boss told him to leave the store for refusing to wear one.
If I were working there I would obey the boss. Since it is not a sin to wear one, then I believe God would want me to obey the law coming from my boss.
The masks are a little uncomfortable but I don't see anyone passing out on the streets or in the stores from wearing them. I was required to wear one to the clinic for some tests. I smiled happily to the nurse who asked me to put it on and took it out of the box.
You see, I don't agree with the masks either, but my Christian witness of joy and compliance means more to me that a rule about a mask. I have more important messages for others, that is the message of the gospel, I don't ever want a meaningless rant to spoil my testimony.
Sometimes we can take stands for things that don't matter just because we feel foolish doing it when we don't believe its necessary.
There is a measure of rebellion to refuse to honor the wishes of others merely because we disagree.
We don't take our shoes off when we come into our house and we don't require anyone else to do it. However, when we go to the home of others who do it, we stop to do it too.
Life is full of rules and lost choices. We do not have the freedom to speed on the freeway, park our car on the sidewalk, walk down the middle of the street, and many other things, we have accepted these laws because they are not sinful nor do they harm us and in most cases, they are for our own safety. The mask thing is up for debate but that is not the issue here. The issue is protecting our Christian witness by complying with things that are not sin and not against our God so that our witness will not distract from the gospel.
Those who work in the fast-food industry are required to wash their hands and I am so glad they do. This is a loss of freedom to act like a pig. We do it because it is the right thing to do to protect others from disease.
A mask for the born again believer is nothing worthy of argument or fighting. Let's allow the unbelieving community to see us caring more about them than we do about the little loss of freedom.
Sometimes I think there is pride involved in making sure everyone knows that we don't let anyone push us around. Let go of pride and just focus on the witness.
1 Corinthians 9:19-23
19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more.
20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law;
21 to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.
22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may, by all means, save some.
23 I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it."

Compliance or Defiance?
We are to be compliant with the world's system as long as it doesn't tell us to sin against our God. Just defying it because it is the world's system is not Biblical.

Romans 13
Be Subject to Government
13 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.
2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.
3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;
4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.
5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing.
7 Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
You may not agree with the rules for practical reasons but it does not give you permission to defy them every time you do not like a rule.

Idolizing Human Beings is Forbidden by God
I see so many Christians idolizing people for worldly reasons as well as pretending they are saved because they say some things they like to hear.
In these end times, the devil will use lots of "Christian" verbiage to fool people. Only his meaning will be completely different from God's meaning.
The devil is in the business of scripture twisting to confuse those who read the Bible but do not seek God for the understanding.
John 14:6
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Proverbs 2:6-8
"6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 Guarding the paths of justice,
And He preserves the way of His godly ones."
All wisdom comes from God so why waste time asking people when you can seek Christ for yourself. Can a man be a greater teacher than Jesus Christ Who lives in you?
Luke 6:40
"A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher."
Who is the disciple's teacher? Jesus Christ is the teacher.
John 13:16
"Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him."
John 15:20
"Remember the word that I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well."
Those who walk with Christ will keep the words of the teacher not because of the teacher but because the teacher's teacher is Christ. The teacher repeats the words of Christ, not his own words or ideas.

Praying for Adult Wayward Children
God said if a person hates someone it is the same as if they had murdered them. The murder is in their heart even if they never carry out the act of murder.
Matthew 5:21-22
Personal Relationships
21 “You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not commit murder’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’
22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.
1 John 3:15
"15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."
Many adult children murder their parents through their contempt for them. They don't pick up a weapon to kill them, they kill them over and over again with their toxic mouth and eyes that roll upward in contempt.
Notice that God says that anyone who has hatred in his heart does not have eternal life. In other words, those who have not been cleansed of their anger and the murder in their hearts was never born again. God removes from our hearts the evils of the flesh when He changes us into a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
1 John 5:18
"We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him."
If you have adult children who are consistently treating you disrespectfully it is best to pray for their salvation because they couldn't be this way if the Holy Spirit were living in them.

The Lost Respect in our Age
I am meeting so many people who are being rejected by their adult children.
The parents are wondering why they are being rejected even though they provided everything for their child and tried to be a good parent.
Of course, no one is the perfect parent, those that think they were could not have been because it would take a perfect person to do that. No one is perfect.
God never said to "honor your parents only if they were perfect." He wouldn't have done that because the arrogant children who expected perfection from their parents are not perfect themselves. One is a hypocrite when they judge their parents as not good enough when that hypocrite couldn't be good enough themselves.
Romans 3:9-11 "9 What then? Are we any better? Not at all. We have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin. 10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. 11 There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.…"
God's command was for children to honor and love their parents no matter what! There was no command to parents to honor their children. Isn't that interesting!
We are living in times of rampant disrespect for everyone. Children do not honor parents any more than they honor anyone else. Children have been trained by the culture to honor themselves above everyone else. They become enraged when someone doesn't treat them "special. "
Philippians 2:3 "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than himself."
We are living in the times of 2 Timothy 3 in which there is constant and rampant love of self and hatred toward anyone else.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
“Difficult (ragingly insane) Times Will Come”
"3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, 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 men as these."
Respect for authorities of any kind and for parents is nearly gone. There are a few exceptions but mostly its gone. There was a day when it was the exception that children were disrespectful to their parents or other adults, now it has become the norm while the respect for elders is the fringe, the few.
Even those who think they are respectful are not at all compared to generations past. The adult children show arrogance and stubbornness toward parents and other elders.
Even worse is the rebellion and disrespect of small children toward their parents who are frightened to punish them to quell the tide of rebellion in their hearts.
The fear of parents to discipline properly has been largely driven by the cultural thinking of the time.
The following Jewish law required by God was an indication of what God thinks about rebellious stubborn children who will not obey their parents.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
18 “If any man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father or his mother, and when they chastise him, he will not even listen to them,
19 then his father and mother shall seize him, and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gateway of his hometown.
20 They shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey us, he is a glutton and a drunkard.’
21 Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death; so you shall remove the evil from your midst, and all Israel will hear of it and fear."
Notice this child who was taken to the elders to be stoned was an adult child. God did not totally remove the authority of the parents from their children's lives just because they were adults.
We live in a culture now in which the adult children are angry if the parents attempt to interject wisdom into their lives. They mock their parents when they do speak and they even withhold love from them for daring to correct them.
Those who follow the Lord Jesus Christ will be disdained by their own children for daring to believe in the principles of God.
Matthew 10:21
"Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death,"
God said if a person hates someone it is the same as if they had murdered them. The murder is in their heart even if they never carry out the act of murder.
Many adult children murder their parents through their contempt for them. They don't pick up a weapon to kill them, they kill them over and over again with their toxic mouth and eyes that roll upward in contempt.
This I have to say to the adult children, if you think that you are respectful, please ask God if you truly are, because today's idea of respect is not God's kind of respect.
