Thoughts on the World We're In

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/07/new-york-times-targets-kavanaughs-wife.php

If I were ever to run for public office (and that's completely off the charts of unlikely) I'm afraid my public opinions would be fair game for my opponent.

I am unapologetically pro-life----in all instances---(because I know God determines our days and we don't. Satan is a murderer.)

I am pro Biblical values, so that puts me in a very unpopular place with people who like to redefine "sin."


There is a book written called "None of These Diseases." I've picked up copies and given them out to various people over the years. For me it was a convincing work proving the effectiveness of Biblical principles in accordance with human health.

The old laws of Leviticus get such a bad reputation among deviant-sexuals.

There are, of course, reasons why God has his people follow his rules and they are to benefit, not to harm.


So, knowing that a loving God is seeking to give you the best possible life, (not ala Joel Osteen, but truly spiritually AND physically) the rules He gives are totally worth following.

This world is absolutely not willing to listen. Every human heart seeks a selfish goal. It's human nature. God can change a heart that is repentant. Once the heart repents a new life in Christ Jesus is the joy set before you.

And the suffering, and the persecution, and the trials....

But mostly the joy.

As we navigate this existence where grossly differing messages assault our brainwaves daily it is most important to get the facts of life right.

The book of Jude is very descriptive. It's only a few verses long, but such images! It is the book second to last in the Bible, which interestingly corresponds to its timing for history. It perfectly describes what we see right now all around us. It's as if Jude had a vision of our society and wrote the vision down as best as he could describe it. Eerie.

We can only know what is right by knowing God's word. It's all we have.

God gave each of us a conscience, and that is truly a gift, but we can violate it and even kill it by repeated sin. When we tell a lie there is a pricking of conscience, right? When we steal something there is a painful moment of reckoning. What a gift.

It's pretty easy to kill it, though. The prick isn't as deep the next time we say something untrue, and so on. We're on the road to becoming pathological....

But God.

Don't let Satan kill your conscience about sin: murder, hatred, lust, anger, envy, greed, gluttony, pride or sloth. Don't go against God's perfect rules. Truly there is grace when we fail, but there is a conscious need to repent and start again. We must follow Christ moment by moment.

Repent today.

I was listening to Larry Ollison on Prophecy Watchers. He had the delightful teaching that only believers of the Church, the Bride, will be given glorified bodies. These will become changed in a twinkling of an eye at the Rapture. Those that go through the Tribulation and come to faith will receive a resurrected body, but not a "glorified" body. It's a teaching from Scripture that bears extra study.

Come to Christ today. The Rapture can occur without any warning, as we are truly in the last days. Jude describes them so perfectly, and here we are.

It's about to get very scary in the world. Start moving to Israel if you don't plan on becoming saved in Christ soon. The wrath of God is going to be unleashed on the earth, and God's bride and friend Israel is only guaranteed survival through this time of tribulation. The anti-Christ, the one of end-times fame, will be driven by Satan to destroy anything that reeks of Jesus Christ, the true Christ.

Hey, I'm a prophecy watcher! I'm just sounding the alarm.

Jesus said he was coming again. He is.
The rapture must occur before He comes back. The Bride of Christ is not under God's wrath---that payment was made by Christ, who redeemed us from that punishment. The Bride will be whisked away, caught up, harpazo, raptured as it says in Thessalonians.

And such sadness and mayhem will commence soon thereafter.


Don't miss the rapture. Repent now. Ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive you, to be your Lord and Savior. Follow Him. Believe, and you shall receive the Holy Spirit and be born again.
