Even as my blog grows in popularity I lose touch with those I've known and cherished in my life.
That is a cost, but it is one that I must pay.
Following the Bible has rather painful consequences in this life. It's all good for eternity, but now it hurts.
I am always amazed at the opportunities to draw lines between faith in Christ Jesus alone and the rest of the world.
This weekend there is an event in Washington D.C.. It draws Protestants and Catholics together under a religious unity in Jesus.
There is no unity between Catholics and Protestants in essentials. Yes, we are both pro-life, pro-marriage.
Not the Pope, but most old-school Catholics.
But Catholics serve tradition and church teachings.
Protestants are known for following the Bible and its teaching on grace.
It's not the same, friends. It's very different.
The Bible refers to the whore of Babylon in the book of Revelation. It speaks of this "woman" in chapters 17 and 18.
The whore is directly unrelated to the "bride." The Bride always refers to the believers in Christ, those washed in the blood of the lamb. The Whore is a false entity.
There has never been a time more auspicious to finger who the Whore is. She is clothed in red. She is a world power. She is wealthy. She is sits on the Beast. There is an allusion to Rome with the seven hills.
I know that there are sweet Roman Catholic friends who are showing distrust of this new pope, Francis. He has made very divisive statements about marriage, the climate, and evolution. He has made overtures to Protestants, asking for a unity under the Roman church. He seems to promote a communist philosophy.
These are problems for old-school Catholics.
It's time to ask the question---What is Truth?
At some point, if you examine the evidence, you will be forced to choose an authority. Science? The Pope? The Illuminati? Hillary Clinton? Your teacher at school? The pastor? The writer of your favorite book? Your mind?
God?
God reveals Himself in His word. At least He says that. So, the choice is to believe Him or not. Simplistic? Hardly. You will lose everything for choosing to believe that.
But you will gain the most sublime reassurance of Christ's power in you, hope for the future, and sweet and satisfying fellowship with the Holy Spirit and fellow believers.
It's amazing.
You will instantly be family with souls across the World, from every country, every nation.
You will know Jesus and truth. Your eyes will be painfully opened.
But it is SO worth it.
Wake up.
The Truth of God's Word is ready to be yours with your repentance, your belief, your confession. It is within your grasp.
