Sadly, what is mostly offered to the world as “The Church of Jesus Christ” is in truth nothing more than an apostate whoring religious system which, though naming the name of Jesus Christ, has succumbed to the worldly wisdom of marketing experts in order to increase their numbers. To avoid offending the attending ignorant, they eagerly embrace the latest fashionable watered down translations of Holy Writ reducing God’s word into a flimsy weapon useless against the adversary and too dull to pierce the heart of unrepentant sinners . . . many who already proudly boast in their illusion of “salvation.” Have they forgotten the warning “If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life?” Or are they just so arrogant and lacking of fear?
Why judgment must begin in the Lord’s house, with those who are called by His name.

The Strait Gate

Jesus taught us that “all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.” This is one of the great distinctions from those of other belief systems clarified by Jesus’ teachings on the oracles of God. Many religions out there aggressively preach messages of constraint, i.e., don’t treat people the way you don’t want to be treated. Often such religions and institutes affix to their messages oppressive obligations of repetitious prayer, have vain ceremonies and require their followers to maintain a cultural appearance of (perceived) piety.
Here Jesus takes us immediately into servitude to others, “Do for others what you would want them to do for you.” All those out there who continually harp on the difference between the law and grace, they would do well to pause and consider Jesus words here “for this is the law and the prophets.” Jesus wasn’t throwing away the law and saying, “From now on, this is what we do.” He was actually warning everyone not to get caught up in mere religion, that this is what God has always really required.
In the Old Testament when Balak, king of Moab, consulted with Balaam what he needed to do that he might know the righteousness of the LORD. Being ignorant to the righteousness of God, he asked what was it he had to give. Listen to his question and Balaam’s reply –
Micah 6:6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? Should I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Should I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what the LORD requires of you, do justly and love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.
Sadly, because the churches are no longer teaching from the whole Bible, many people nowadays fail to understand the distinction between the two separate aspects of “The Law,” that part which was fulfilled and done away with, and that part of which not one jot or tittle will pass away until after all is fulfilled. Let’s look at Jesus words –
The Mystery of Iniquity at work in the world today.

The mystery of iniquity is at work in the world today, and no wonder, because it has been working ever since God purposed to reveal His truths unto men. From the very beginning when the adversary crept into the garden he began to preach another gospel, “For you can be as gods.” This is a very sinister evil that causes men to sin in pursuit of such great spiritual ambitions. It is one thing for men to succumb to their basest appetites and become as Paul referred to the Cretians, “evil beasts, slow bellies.” But it is a completely different and mysterious evil that leads men down the road of religiosity to exalt and justify themselves in their own pious arrogance to the condemnation of others, such is the mystery of iniquity.
Stay free, be not entangled, keep focused, run the race.

There are many things that still must come to pass before the Lord returns, things that are clearly written in scripture that we might be aware of the time and season in which we are living. These things were written so that we the Church could stand fast, and keep our focus on our responsibility of each of us perfecting our call to holiness while endeavoring to fulfill the purpose for which we have been elected/enlisted/chosen by the Captain of our salvation.
2Ti 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. (KJV)
2Ti 2:4 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. (NASB)
We all have not only been called to be holy for the Lord is holy, it is both a commandment and a necessity; for without holiness no one will see God on favorable terms. Equally true is that each of us have been given a certain rank and file in the army of God whereby we are to . . . no, whereby we must labor together with other members of the body of Christ according to the effectual working of His grace given each and everyone of us. None of this has to do with God being a respecter of persons, rather it is in His wisdom that He has dispersed His gifts unto men with the seemingly greater gifts also bearing the greater responsibility. Nonetheless, regardless the uniqueness of our individual calls to ministry given by our Father, every believer’s priorities should be for His name’s sake to be wholeheartedly seeking and doing His will “according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, making increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
2 Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brothers, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall.
Sisters and brothers, we must make our callings certain (not in vain), for there has been given to each an everyone of us “grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ,” meaning our Lord has equipped each and every one for a unique function in His body that by having ears that hear what the Spirit is saying we can collectively work together making Christ known and warning men to flee the wrath to come. This is why we study to show ourselves approved, that we might not only rightly divide the Word of truth, but be applying it as well, thereby proving all things as we submit ourselves one to another in the fear of God . . . for there is no place for rouge independent “Christian ministers.” That is not to say that true men and women of God at times will not feel alone, but their hearts are ever seeking others with whom they may labor to God’s glory.
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
Wretched Men

Sometimes I think people had more fear and reverence for Comet Elenin then they did for God. It seemed so many people sat up and started paying attention to all the noise about the comet, everywhere there sermons available, youtube videos and articles (just like mine) that grabbed the attention of people all across the world. I too was caught by the fury of claims and uncertainty around it. But if we truly believe God’s word, the ultimate certainty, the sure word of prophecy, then why isn’t the Gospel of Jesus Christ having the same effect around the globe? Is it because it has become powerless in so many places? Has it become incapable of living up to its claims? Or have we become powerless and lost our sight of where our faith is to be?
It was really unbelievable the incredible rousing Comet Elenin was having in every corner of the earth. I even had my post about it translated into Korean, German and at least one other language I cannot immediately recall. My initial reaction was extreme disappointment which I thoroughly articulated to my cherished friend Sister Rhonda who shares this blog with me. I sorrowfully shared how there were several other more valuable posts I have written that I felt would truly benefit earnest seekers of Christ, but except for a few readers many of those posts have been completely ignored by the masses. Why so many are caught up about the end of things and yet for the most part neglect that which matters here and now still amazes me today as much as it did when I lived the very same way myself . . . back when I was “a wretched man” myself.
There was a time when I thought I was a Christian, a follower of Christ. But like so many others, I too believed what so many religious teachers out there are teaching as the Christian dilemma, that we will always be somewhat stuck in those things we hate and many times unable to do the right things we want.
Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20) Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21) I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22) For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23) But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24) O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
I was told that sin was in me and evil was always going to present with me and therefore (like Paul himself admitted) I was always going to be sinning and unable to be the person I wanted to in Christ. I just needed to accept that as fact and quit being so hard on myself and accept that was who I was “in Christ” or I would never have any peace. To this day I continually meet believers who teach this and have wholly accepted it as sound doctrinal fact and consequently have absolutely no real motivation to be “perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” That is scary, since without holiness no man shall see God on favorable terms.
Comet Elenin – the lion and not the bear . . .
Posted: October 31, 2011 in End TimesTags: Comet, Elenin, End times, Faith, God, Israel, Jesus, judgment, LORD, Prophecy
Since early 2011 there has been much chatter across the web about Comet Elenin and what appeared to be a correlation of seismic activity with its alignment with earth. We had no shortages of doomsayers and predictions concerning the end of the world and the timing of an imminent rapture of the church . . . but we are still here. I too labored many long hours in an effort to examine all the information available and submitted it for public scrutiny with my exhortation to give greater heed to God’s word foremost.
As it seems to stand today, apparently Comet Elenin was blasted by solar winds which blew away much of it coma. Now according to various accountings Elenin was destroyed, fragmented, is deteriorating, and/or has been reduced to even less significance than the seemingly correct unbelievers of doom had said it was. At the moment Elenin is now on its way back out into the vast expanse of the universe perhaps taking with it the threat of imminent death and destruction that so many had attached with it.
For almost two months I have been sitting back and praying that God help me to rightly divide and understand what I have been observing (and not observing) in my own Christian responsibility to “watch and pray.” There have been various things I felt God was impressing upon me, but there was also a sense of waiting before the Lord as Elenin continued it course past it inner alignment with Earth and the Sun on late September 26. It appears Elenin came and made alignment with no great calamity befalling the earth . . . apart from this year’s predicted increase of solar activity, record breaking droughts in one part of the world while storms and floods make new records in other places. Currently we are having a huge snow storm in the northeast while elsewhere volcanism and seismic disturbance continue about the world . . . but seemingly with no absolute correlation to the comet.
Why do the heathen rage?
Posted: September 24, 2011 in End Times, Prophecy, Shared ThoughtsTags: End times, Israel, Jesus Christ, Palestine
Prophesy is coming to pass before our eyes, Abbas gets standing ovation from UN
.
Ps 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set My king upon My holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee.
8 Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.
.
Peace to those who love the Lord Jesus Christ.
Just return home from officiating at my son’s wedding. Was a glorious event. Just figured I would share . . .
I would like to welcome everyone and thank you all for coming to both celebrate and witness today’s ceremony of uniting Jesse and Rebecca in holy matrimony. Without a doubt, this a glorious day. One in which I am honored and yet truly humbled to be standing here before God and you today to officiate this wedding between my son and his beautiful bride.
But please let’s take a moment and consider that phrase, “Holy Matrimony.” You don’t really hear that term used much anymore, and that’s sad, because marriage is the most glorious institution God has given to mankind. Marriage is meant to be the willful coming together of two hearts and souls through a mutual covenant, agreeing to forsake all others and to be faithful one to other, striving together towards one mind that will always rejoice in honesty and truth. That is why it is unfortunate that for some Holy Matrimony has lost its “holiness,” having been reduced by modern society to simple pre-nuptials and selfish agreements. Marriage, when done God’s way, is truly a great gift from God to all humanity, for it was given to help us know and appreciate the heart and will of God towards us all.
I believe this marriage is ordained of God, as was the very first marriage. Back in the beginning when God created man, He stated it was “very good,” and God placed him in a glorious place called the Garden of Eden with abundance to enjoy as he took care of it and had privilege to walk with God in the cool of the day.
But shortly after creating Adam, God stated “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.” So God did a peculiar thing, He had Adam name all the animals. He that has ears to hear, let him hear what the scriptures say –
Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever he called a living creature, that was its name. And Adam gave names to all the cattle, to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.

Not really much, just some quick thoughts.
Today’s Earthquake happen in Mineral, Virginia.
“Mineral was originally known as Tolersville, but adopted its current name when it incorporated in 1902 due to the mining industry that supported the community. It was the center of gold mining activity in Louisa County and during its heyday there were no fewer than fifteen gold mines located within two miles (3 km) of the town. A zinc and lead mine also operated in the area into the 1970s.”
“At 1:51pm on August 23, 2011, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake was reportedly centered in Mineral, Virginia and at a depth of 3.7 miles (6 Kilometers). According to Associated Press, it “forced evacuations of all the monuments on the National Mall in Washington and rattled nerves from Georgia to Martha’s Vineyard”.”
Ro 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest He also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in His goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree.
Observations Regarding Elenin’s Position and Seismic Activity – Part 2
Posted: July 26, 2011 in UncategorizedTags: Comet, Destroyer, earthquakes, Elenin Planetary Alignment and Earthquakes, End times, Nibiru, volcanoes, Wormwood
As I stated on my previous post, my research on Elenin left me with literally hundreds of pages, screen shots, statistics and graphs I made for my own visual comprehension of it all. I endeavored to congest as much as possible so as not to overwhelm anyone and was able to get it down to the following, which if I have opportunity I will continue to tweak and add to it. Nevertheless, once more I would like to preface this post by saying I have not enjoyed working on this at all. I have countless hours, too many days and several weeks invested in it. I would much rather focus on Jesus, sharing Him as the only hope to a lost world..
Therefore please bare with my feeble attempt to reach and share some conclusions of my research. It may should not in the least be considered an “exhaustive research,” but I will state it has exhausted me. Remember I am not a scientist, just a building contractor whose limited understanding of the laws of physics comes simply from hands on experience in work and everyday life. Gravity to me is basically a magnetic pull and objects seem to respond to predictably when subjected to the push and pull of leverage and force. I am sure my perspectives and thoughts can be scrutinized, and should be. However, having had to analyze structural problems and conditions for cause and effects I have learned applied force has predictable consequences. Sometimes the affects can be seen mostly in the lineal, meaning in direct line of the force of either the push or pull. However sometimes there are there lateral effects, meaning consequences that can be measurably noticed or predicted to the sides of something, or outside of an alignment of objects.
All that being said, one of many thoughts I had (that may not be correct but seem to relative) is that Elenin would have a more noticeable effect on Earth when it is moving away in its orbit than when moving towards it. I base that upon my assumption that any gravitational pull would be somewhat mollified by the motion of the two objects towards each other, similar to two objects tethered together by a pulling force that would seemingly in my mind be naturally relieved somewhat by the momentum of the two objects together. If this were true then the effect of Elenin’s gravitational pull (if there is any) might be heightened when Earth’s orbit direction begins to move away from it. Regardless though, it seemed to me at the distances we are examining that there would be a fluctuation of magnetic pull both before and after alignment with a peaking during alignment.
Now with all being said, let’s look into some of what appears to be evidence and perhaps facts as they were gathered from the sites previously noted. However, not wanting to be one promoting conspiracies, I must be honest that I am inclined to believe if the information gather from these websites were wrong it would be due to concealed information, things that the government does know and is intentionally keeping from the general population.
The first earthquake that came to mind to check was the 2010 Haiti catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. However, that earthquake did not happen with any alignment between Elenin and us. However, there is still the planetary alignment which does seem to have some relativity. For on January 3rd Venus, the Sun, Mercury and Earth begin to come into alignment with the 5th appearing to be the day alignment was best, between which time seismic activity seems to spike some and again when Mars was included with Venus, the Sun, Mercury, Earth and in somewhat of an alignment. As we can see from the graphs I prepared below that that seismic activity started as the planets alignment began and reached a peak just before the 5th. Perhaps just shifting the tectonic plates into another position of stress that was released with greater activity on the 12th and 13th.
When comparing the frequency of seismic activity during these 36 days with the daily average there is really no great distinction, rather there is actually a slight decrease from 27.61 earthquakes daily to 26.75. However, there was an increase in the daily average of earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.0 and above from the yearly daily average of 3.83 to 5.86 which is in itself a little more than a 65% increase. Regardless, in the graphs above we can see the increased spike earthquake activity beginning just as the planets began to align as seen in the two pictures below.
Being born again, of incorruptible seed, by the word of God (Hell – part 2)

Part 2 of 2 of series on hell
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
God’s word is more glorious than even the wonder of birth; for in it He has given us some incredible insights into His own heart’s desire. His word is not merely a bunch of rules and laws made to regulate every aspect of men’s behavior and to oppress their freedom in life. No, God’s word is actually the only true wellspring of life, in addition to the only effectual means for guarding what He gives unto His people. Some may immediately feel compelled to challenge that statement, but I am not speaking about the bible you have on your shelf, I am speaking of that which came by unction of God’s Holy Spirit unto His prophets and apostles, that which is spirit and not merely “letter.”
The bibles we have are but books made of paper and ink, filled with letters that cannot do anything of their own, there is no power in them anymore than a flashlight has the ability to illuminate without batteries being in it. It is only a means, a tool whereby the supremacy of God’s spoken word which is ultimately spirit can be revealed unto us . . . that is if and when our heart is in the right condition.
Through God’s holy word comes first the revelation of His supremacy and preeminence, that “God is,” meaning there is in fact a God to whom all men are accountable. Secondly it teaches us how He has created all things in a state of “good.” God created the realms for life to flourish, the sea, the air and the land and then brought forth all manner of life and gave them not just the command to be “fruitful and multiply,” no much more than that, God gave forth the blessing of life.
Hell

This is part one of a two part series on hell.
It is not enough that we each have our own set of Christian beliefs that we faithfully hold to. For many religions have faithful followers; many of which that would shame the half-hearted “Christian” who professes to be a true follower of Jesus Christ. Even if one was faithful to their favorite religious creed, faithfulness cannot deliver from sin or offer an assurance of eternal life.
Yet so many people boldly declare they are free simply because they have a belief system, a religion of choice, and their favorite translation or particular version of holy oracles or religious book which they cling to above all others. Many going about their daily lives with absolutely no clue that they are deceived and dead in their trespasses and sins; having only a form of godliness while they deny the true power of God which truly sets men free and transforms them.
John 8:31-36 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, “If you continue in My word, then are you My disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered him, “We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you then, ‘You shall be made free?'” Jesus answered them, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.”
If one is off a little in their foundation of their theology, then they will be considerably more off as they continue to build upon the principles they have embraced for their faith. As a building contractor I learned a long time ago that if I start off out of square, unlevel or out of plumb, the more I build off my starting reference point the further off I get. It is the same with the tenants of faith in Christendom.
Part of the devil’s plan was to saturate Christendom with theologies that are “mostly” true. I have a saying I use often with my kids, “The best lie is the one with the most truth in it.” Reason being, that if you want to deceive someone, let’s say someone with a little understanding and knowledge of God’s word, you will need to bait them with certain truths and plausible theories in their own popular Christian lingo.
They will then recognize some of those aspects of the truth they are acquainted with and will be more likely to embrace it, since it appealed to their logic and familiarity. However, because of their weakness of scriptural knowledge and understanding they can be tricked into embracing a carefully forged lie simply because they saw logic in it and will therefore often embrace a whole theology without thoroughly proving it. This is because most people have a pride that causes them to trust in their own ability to recognize truth without having to prove it.
The following is an outline I prepared for a men’s prayer meeting I attend. It is a list showing the undeniable relationship between American policies since the Mid-East Peace Talks were initiated by President George H. Bush Sr. back in 1991.
All this info and much, much more can be found in William Koenig’s book Eye to Eye. If you have not read this book, it is well worth your time and money. Last I heard over 75 books have been hand given to member of the Obama administration and other members of the US government.
I share this simply as an eye opener to fellow believers and as a witness tool to present to others that there is a Creator of heaven and earth that oversees the affairs of men Who will not break His covenant to the fathers, i.e., Abraham, Isaac and Jacob concerning Israel.
Ro 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
History proves that God is still blessing them that bless Israel and that He will also curse those who posture themselves against her.
I am sorry that the list does not go all the way up to the present and that the format isn’t better, but I was under time constraints and was never able to complete it.
Sister Kim has posted a needful heart cry for God’s people –
“Oh, Lord, this world that you have created is in trouble. The people you have created have turned from you and walked away from your face. We have committed every type of sin the imagination can come up with. The stink of our sins no doubt have risen as high as heaven and must assail you day and night. We no longer call good things good, but we call evil things good and good things evil. We have forsaken our position as caretakers of your creation and brought destruction upon everything that we touch. We no longer feel a need to keep your laws and are working diligently to erase any evidence of your ever having had a part in making the laws that mankind was to live by.”
It is this manner of answering of Joel’s call to prepare for the hearts what’s coming . . . who knows, perhaps the Lord will be gracious . . .
Joel 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 14 Who knoweth if He will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind Him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. 17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare Thy people, O LORD, and give not Thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

Please take time to pray for Kim’s son and family as they are being “purified, and made white” in God’s watchful care and loving wisdom.
