Zeal without knowledge...

Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. (Romans 10:1-3 ESV)

Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Message...

Again, another modern preacher looking to MASK the Gospel and water it down for the masses!   Rick Warren's "Purpose Driven Life".   Searching diligently for a Gospel message, within his popular (best seller) book and you can't find anything but a splattering of what MIGHT look like Christ's Gospel. 


It mentions something about God "forgiving" you but it doesn't disclose much on WHY you would need to be forgiven.   And that's pretty important especially since most people today have a hard time being convinced that they need to be forgiven.

Many people perceive themselves to be "good" people,  their sins as "mistakes", and don't have too high a perception of exactly HOW holy God is nor HOW wicked our sins really are...   But Warren just glazes through "forgiveness" and never mentions REPENTANCE.  Hmmm?... I would say that qualifies him to be yet another .... FALSE TEACHER!!!!

Something like the complete Gospel isn't exactly something that ANY true Christian should get wrong, must less a preacher of The Gospel of Christ.    So I would say, he achieved the "best seller's" list but failed on communicating a TRUE Gospel message.     There's something really wrong with that. 

EVIL HEROD IS AMONG US???

"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them".
- Ephesians 5:11

"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,    Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.   

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.   
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.    And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,    And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.   
Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.    And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.  


 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.    When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.    And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.   


And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.    And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.    When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:    And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
  

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.    Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,    In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.    But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,    Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life".   - Matthew Chapt. 2


And Satan continues even today to attack and destroy "The Image" of God.
We are made in His image.  And evil wants to destroy that which God has created off the face of the earth. The devil comes as a roaring lion looking to rob, steal and destroy.  While many people who have been fooled into thinking that somehow, 54 million human babies being slaughtered in the womb is a "woman's right", others say that they don't agree with genocide of babies, but continue to support the reapers of this horrific Herodian evil upon humanity by their silence.


These people DARE call themselves "children" of Almighty God, and their consciences are seared whereby they feel no guilt or remorse supporting the barbaric cruelty of abortion on demand in this country.  But Jesus said :

" You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do".  - John 8:44

Their Spiritual blindness prevents them from seeing Truth.  But as Christ said, "Unless you are born again, you cannot SEE the Kingdom of God".  - John 3:3


Abortion is a lust that was created from out of Satan himself, and evil men carry out the will of Satan in destroying the very image of God in His creation.   The attack on God's image continues. 

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" - Genesis 1:27

The Pride of evil -

Some of these pics are of a recent pride event in Washington, and the pics reveal the craziness that comes out of the woodwork during those events!  Wow.  It's unreal that people can't see what's going on right in front of their own eyes.  This goes on in every major city in our country and our government leaders, and our neighbors support it.   People are demon possessed.

 If you study the ancient pagan cultures of the past, you'll know that they worshiped demons; demons that clouded and muddied the distinction between the gender of humans.  Also, demon worship where people themselves started to look like demon-like images, and this is done to humiliate the very image of God.   Even today, demon worship has a lot to do with DISTORTING IMAGES.   People see it as "free expression", trying to "look different", "fashion", etc., but a closer look will show you that, there's nothing particularly beautiful about any of those images.  And no, beauty is NOT in the eye of the beholder - it's in the eye of what most people can clearly see is beautiful!  It's only common sense.   Satan pulls the wool over many people's eyes today.    And people tend to go with the lies popular media has been conditioning them to believe.  These deceptions are in every single media outlet; from magazines to daily TV programs, to advertising billboards, etc..  It's everywhere! 

Even today, in fashions, and in music, you're seeing demon worship in the form of MUDDYING the image of gender distinction.  And that goes back; way back to the days of pagan demon worship. 

There's nothing to be proud of.    Satan likes to lie, confuse and distort.  And if he can confuse the mind of a person's identity, better still. If he can control a person through the impulses of their sinful appetites. 

People cannot see what they are dabbling with and what they are giving themselves over to.  It's a progressive sin that perverts the heart and minds of a person's identity, and gives them over to demons of sexual confusion.


Psychiatry and the counseling community has long since caved-in to the ever-growing powers of the ogre known as the LGBT lobby, and it's gone from being a mental/emotional dysfunction in personality to an "alternative lifestyle", and then to the new "modern family"   (As in that new cable TV program) to help condition people's minds all the more.   Now they're trying to get everyone to believe that people are "born that way". 

I agree, we're all born sinners but it's when we give ourselves over to our sins that God's grace is there to bring us back to Him.  If not, then the Bible says that we'll be given over to "deceiving spirits" and therefore, we're given over to our lusts.






And yet, most people today will say they don't believe in "the devil". 


Like my momma always said, 
 "The devil isn't smart because he's a devil but because he's been around a long time".

 "Making the best use of time, because the days are evil"
- Ephesians 5:16

=================================

GOSNELL, AMERICA'S OFFSPRING -

Gosnell is depravity that fed off of the evil politics that made his evil deeds permissible.

Only within a murderous culture of genocide could a man live, and get away with such barbaric cruelty for so long. 

He's an example of what this country has become. 

He's the result of the abortion movement, and the direct offspring of Margaret Sanger's demonic fantasies. 

The judges that sat and approved genocide as a "human right" in 1973 will have to stand before God and give an account for their decision and so will every unrepentant heart who is involved in the murder of unborn human beings; including those cowards who won't speak up on behalf of the victims but instead justify the wicked in their deeds.  All those who vote for politicians who accept and condone genocide of the unborn, are themselves with blood on their hands. 

The blood of humans made in God's image is on the hands of the guilty.   God says "Vengeance is mine, I will repay".

This warning is in plain sight within the pages of Scripture, God's Word.  

God's wrath will come "swiftly" upon those modern pagans who call evil good and good evil.   "It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God". 

All these evil practices were the deeds of many peoples that existed long in the past.  People's who followed Satan's deception of worshiping false gods and making sacrifices to them.  They were evil people who's depravity grew to the point where the very "land" (as it states in the Bible) vomited them out.  Those people, cultures and history can now only be found in remnants of artifacts and written within the pages of the scriptures which describe their evil rebellion against God. 

This is why many times in the scriptures, God states that obedience to Him will ensure a long life and a heritage of the earth. 

They are now LONG GONE.    How much more will it take before the earth vomits out the people who's land is known as "America"?

Obey God and live!
God's grace be on us all.

KNIGHT: A snapshot of Islamic justice - Washington Times




While America is drunk covering the case of a basketball team owner's racist rants, what Kim Kardashian is wearing, and more nonsense, Christians continue to be persecuted abroad and here at home. Our very own constitutional rights to free speech are being threatened and all the Islamic turmoil around the world is leaving Christians vulnerable to more hate and persecution than what was initiated against believers after the inception of the True Christian church.

The above article from the Washington Times unfolds what's going on around the world against Christianity. 

Pray for the persecuted church which is the very body of Christ. 

Cyber attacks...

Cyber attacks and privacy breaching are being reported more and more lately. Service providers, banks, government institutions, and online websites are being attacked.

Just today, I got an email from EBay asking me to update my email because they were reporting a recent attack to their databases.

More and more, the issue of privacy has become an problem yet every day society becomes more dependent on the Internet and computers. It's a "catch 22".

The recent government NSA scandal and the reports that foreign cyber attacks come in almost every day demonstrates the level of volatility that exists. And there's even talks that the US will give up control of the World Wide Web to some other country.

Not good.

With the merger of many different online companies, collection of data will become easier.

The Bible teaches that in the last days, the a modern dictator will arise and will operate in a way that combines ALL people so that no one will be able to "buy and sell" unless they are loyal to him.

The signs of these mergers and technologies are everywhere today whether you believe in Bible prophesy or not.

I believe these systems will form out of the supposed need to protect privacy, have security, collect data for organization, and many will sadly welcome this because of the problems that arise within these issues.

Grace and peace to you.
