GRACE by Bob Hildreth on Google Plus



One of the greatest misunderstandings I have found about the Love of God is the idea that it is loving and supportive of religion as long as its my religion! 

Let’s be clear – religion is man’s attempt to control God or to see God in a way that excludes others. Grace is dancing in the Light and Love of God and allowing others to dance with unconditional Love for what they call dancing!


“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.” – Matthew 3:7-8


John the Baptist had no difficulty saying what needed to be said and no one will ever accuse a man who lived on locust and wild honey as being weak. He called people out and he called them to repent – but wait – they were following the law – what did they need to repent from?


Is it possible that a person can be religiously wise and spiritually stupid?


Repentance is turning from the idea that you could do Anything to save yourself, turning from the concept that your works have any value and switching to seeing God as Love instead of God as an effort based self-improvement program! Repentance is the idea that Love Is the hallmark and the path to Being like God!


Repentance therefore is not so much about what you do but the motive of the heart, the reason behind the doing with this in mind – is it being done out of True Love and Compassion?


If not then you are just a clanging cymbal polished with filthy rags and Not resting in the Truth of He Who finished making you Whole on the cross!


Want to know and see the Goodness of God? Look at what He Is, what He seeks from you and how much He desperately wants to see us in the Light of His Freedom!


What Is God? “God Is Love”






What He seeks from you? “Love one another”


How does He want to see us in the Light of His Freedom? “while we were yet enemies Christ died for us”

THE GOOD OR THE BEST by Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHESTT

"If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left: (Genesis 13:9)




As soon as you begin to live the life of faith in God, fascinating and physically gratifying possibilities will open up before you.  These things are yours by right, but if you are living the life of faith you will exercise your right to waive your rights, and let God make your choice for you. God sometimes allows you to get into a place of testing where your own welfare would be the appropriate thing to consider, if you were not living the life of faith.  But if you are, you will joyfully waive your right and allow God to make your choice for you.  This is the discipline God  uses to transform the natural into the spiritual through obedience to His voice.


Whenever our right becomes the guiding factor of our lives, it dulls our lives, it dulls our spiritual insight.  The greatest enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but good choices which are not quite good enough.  The good is always the enemy of the best.  In this passage, it would seem that the wisest thing in the world for Abram to do would be to choose.  It was his right, and the people around him would consider him a fool for not choosing.


Many of us do not continue to grow spiritually because we prefer to choose on the basis of our rights, instead of relying on God to make the choice for us.  We have to learn to walk according to the standard which has its eyes focused on God.  And God says to us, as He did to Abram, " . . . walk before Me . . . " (Genesis 17:1).

HEBREW WORD OF THE DAY

THE "ACTS" OF THE APOSTLES - INFORMATION

The Acts of the Apostles - A Transitional Book After the Ascension into Heaven


Jesus' last recorded words have come to be known as the Great Commission:  "Ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea (Jews), and in Samaria (Gentiles), and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (1:8).  The Book of Acts, written by Luke, is the story of the men and women who took that commission seriously and began to spread the news of a risen Savior to the most remote corners of the known world.

Each section of the book (1-7; 8-12; 13-28) focuses on a particular audience, a key personality, and a significant phase in the expansion of the Gospel of the message.

As the second volume in a two-part work by Luke, this book probably had no separate title. But all available Greek manuscripts designate it by the title Praxeis, "Acts," or by an expanded title like "The Acts of the Apostles."  Praxeis was commonly used in Greek literature to summarize the accomplishments of outstanding men.  While the Apostles are mentioned collectively at several points, this book really records the acts of Peter (1-12) and of Paul (13-28).


GENESIS - ABOUT THE BOOK

The Book of Genesis - Information on the Book of the Beginning of the Word of God


The first part of Genesis focuses on the beginning and spread of sin in the world and culminates in the devastating flood in the days of Noah.  The second part of the book focuses on God's dealings with one man, Abraham, through whom God promises to bring salvation and blessing to the world.  Abraham and his descendants learn firsthand that it is always safe to trust the Lord in times of famine and feasting, blessing and bondage.  From Abraham...to Issac...to Jacob...to Jospeph...God's promises begin to come to fruitition in a great nation possessing a great land.



Genesis is a Greek word meaning "origin," "source," "generation," or "beginning."  The original Hebrew title Bereshith means "In the Beginning."

The literary structure of Genesis is clear and is built around eleven separate units, each including the word generations in the phrase "These are the generations" or "The book of generations": (1) Introduction to the Geneaologies (1:1-23); (2) Heaven and Earth (2:4-4:26); (3) Adam (5:1-6:8); (4) Noah (6:9-9:29); (5) Sons of Noah (10:1-11:9); (6) Shem (11:10-26); (7) Terah (11:27-25:11); (8) Ishmael (25:12-18); (9) Issac (25:19-35:29) (10) Esau (36:1-37:1); (11) Jacob (37:25-50:26).




WORLD EVENTS - STRANGE WEATHER, UFOs, FAMINES DROUGHTS AND PESTILENCE

I'm sharing these videos not to scare you as they aren't fear-mongering as many are use to seeing.  These are stories about what is going on in the world as far as wars, weather, UFOs, and many other real-time occurrences in the world today.  Some will even be about dreams and visions.  The ones I share are the ones that may vastly differ but at the end, the message is all the same.  



Let me also say a few things.  One, I am not saying we are in the end times NOR am I saying we are not.  God hasn't revealed that to me nor do I think He will.  What I strongly feel I told me...yes, God speaks to me but I not audibly.  Well, maybe a few times but more on that later.  We may not be in the end times BUT...we should live as if we are.  In fact, we only know we have right now, this very minute to accept the saving grace of Jesus Christ.  It's free and easy.  You won't come to Him intellectually.  Your mind is an enmity to God.  Faith is trust and belief in things unseen and unknown.  It's not hard.  Everybody has faith in something or someone unseen.

For example, we have faith that if we paid our bill and there are no outages, if we turn on our electrical appliances, most will come on, if not all.  We can't see electricity but we trust it works.  It does!  If not, we KNOW we either forgot to pay the bill or the "thing" that didn't work is broken.  Not too difficult, right?

We all know that George Washington was born and became the first president of the United States of America.  How?  We weren't alive then and we sure can't talk to him now.  He's dead and buried.  How do we know?  Because there is sufficient information in books written by men who were eyewitnesses to his life.  No one doubts his existence or most of what's written about him.  There's legends, like the cherry tree and throwing a silver dollar across a river, but we believe that most of what we hear is true.  He's a man.  How many people died or lived their lives in fear of telling about his life?  Probably none!  I feel pretty safe in saying that.  



However, when it comes to Christ Jesus and the Bible, people just cannot believe it's true. Do you honestly think these men and women were less intelligent than us?  I say the opposite is more likely to be true.  After all, they had to read books, memorize things, use very rudimentary tools, yet they not only managed to survive but thrive.  Babylon is still known today as THE richest and greatest empire that ever existed.  The accuracy of the book of Daniel has been examined because it is so right than many felt he had to have written it after the fall of Babylon.  The good news, it passed the test of time.

Jesus Christ's disciples, except for John, were all killed for spreading the Gospel of Christ Jesus.  They devoted their entire lives in terror to get the news out to the world.  The early church consisted of Jews.  How many people do you know that is that willing to die for a lie? Not many!  The Bible is still the most sold and most unread book of all times.  It is also the most misunderstood.  

Do you understand every book YOU read?  No!  Does that mean just because you don't understand physics or astronomy that what the writers say is false?  No!  So why do you think these men who wrote the Bible lied?  They didn't.  It's that simple.  There's so much proof of the Bible and when read correctly, science doesn't disprove it.  In fact, it actually upholds it.  Evolution of fish to man or slime to man has been proven false over and over. Get over it.  Even many scientists are saying we had to have had an intelligent designer, they just fall short of saying Creator Yawhey God!  

The plan of salvation is at the bottom of this blog.  Read it, trust it and accept it.  You don't have to change, God will change YOU and it will be fantastic.  Not perfect but so much better than what you have without Him.  Anyone who thinks that being a follower of Jesus Christ is slavery has never had a real encounter with Him.  It's 100% liberty.  Free of guilt, hate, anger and being happy with what you have.  Sin is slavery.  Money is slavery.  Christ Jesus is freedom.  Try it!  You will be pleasantly surprised!  God bless all.  I hope you'll at least watch some of the videos to see the truth of what's going on and how the Bible foretold it.  You want proof, watch and see.  God bless you all!

THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, CHRIST JESUS - By: Derrick Brooks

Matthew 28 King James Version (KJV)



28 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.




7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.




12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen




THE FIRST FALSE CHURCH - By: Eligah Barrett on Google Plus

THE ORIGIN OF THE GREAT FALSE CHURCH
GOD'S NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OFFICIALLY BEGAN ON THE DAY of Pentecost, June 17, 31 A.D. 




REVELATION 2 CALLS THIS FIRST Era of the Church the Ephesus era. This era could not have had a better beginning. Christ personally laid its foundation. Luke is the unquestioned author of the book of Acts. He wrote it around A.D. 62, thirty one years after the true Church began. It was written to a man named Theophilus as a companion book to Luke's gospel account Acts1:1.


Bibles cho Lars agree that the book of Acts contains important early Church history. But a close study of this book reveals that it's history is quite selective. Luke's accouterments is best known as the Acts of the Apostles. However, the book is silent on the acts of at least 10 of the original Apostles. Does that mean these Apostles did not do an important work? Absolutely not! They did many mighty works. 


In this book, Luke records only those events that affected the early Church in a major way. His exclusion of certain events shows that God canonized only those events that were vital for God's Church of the future to know.


The Ephesus era began very small. Christ led His disciples for 3 1/2 years, and then the world killed Him. Verse 15 reveals that even after all of Christ's preaching and miracles, there were only 120 disciples!




MOST OF THE PERSECUTION AGAINST GOD'S PEOPLE CAME FROM FALSE RELIGION. If Christ physically headed a little group today, this world would kill Him again! The chief culprit would be false religion. 
On the day of Pentecost after Christ's death, the original disciples and new converts were given the Holy Spirit and inflamed with a, passion to proclaim Christ gospel. The newly spirit begotten Church had a significant impact on the people and society, beginning at Jerusalem. The Ephesus era began to grow. Three thousand members were added during the Pentecost season Acts 2:1, 41.


The fantastic events of Pentecost in A.D. 31 began to create a stir within the Jewish community and among Jewish leaders Acts 2. Then came a dramatic healing of a man just outside the temple gate called Beautiful Acts 3. This man was well known as having been lame from birth. Many had given him alms before entering the temple grounds. Not many days after Pentecost, Peter and John were entering the temple. When this man begged for money, they healed him instead. Peter and John were immediately summoned before the Jewish high council. They were threatened yet they were undaunted! 





The preaching of Christ's gospel gained momentum. The Church experienced rapid growth from 120 to about 5000 members by the time of Acts 4:4. This growth provoked serious persecution. Jewish leaders became incensed and fearful. The Apostles were thrown in prison Acts 5:18. An angel released them and told them to return to the temple and preach. When they obeyed, the Work grew even more. 


Jewish leaders wanted to stop this new, overzealous faction. Their persecution became far more intense and deadly. Men, women and even whole families were slaughtered.


Stephen, one of the original seven deacons, was a man of faith and zeal. God was able to work many miracles through him and his work was noticed. Stephen was arrested and brought before the Jewish council. At his trial, in his own defense, Stephen preached a convicting and condemning sermon Acts 7. His message of truth enraged the Jews. The high priest and council went mad.


Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stone Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep verses 57-60. These religious leaders stoned Stephen to death. HIS ONLY CRIME WAS PREACHING GOD'S TRUTH! Remember, these men represented a religion that talked much about love! May God protect us from such loving religious!

THE FEAR OF GOD IS LOST IN TODAY'S CHURCHES - SHORT VIDEO

I wrote a post earlier this evening on why I have left the church "buildings."  I thought I'd post this to further explain a part of the reasons why I've left.  There are just too many to list. God bless all and please, if you have a good, Bible-preaching pastor, give him your support --- both in prayer and financially!  God bless you all.


FUNNY PICTURES

I don't post political things on my blog however, I am very conservative.  I am NOT a Hillary supporter.  I also love laughter and funny things, so long as they're clean.  So, I'm going to share a couple of funny pictures for your enjoyment that are not Christian in nature BUT God gave us the wonderful gift of laughter and it's meant to be used.  After all, laughter is really good medicine! God bless all and have a happy, safe and blessed Labor Day, although we Christians don't get a day off from laboring for the lost.  Spread the WORD!






CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS - INTERVIEWING CHRISTIANS

The following video is about Christian Apologetics.  We are called to "always be ready to defend our faith."  This is what this is all about.  It's quite amazing to watch and listen.  It's not as hard as you would think!  God bless you and enjoy!


"THE GOSPEL OF JOHN"

Information on "The Gospel According to John" in my Authorized KJV Bible




Just as a coin has two sides, both valid, so Jesus Christ has two natures, both valid.  Luke presents Christ Jesus in His humanity as the Son of Man; John portrays Him in His deity as the Son of God.  John's purpose is crystal clear: to set forth Christ Jesus in His deity in order to spark believing faith in his readers.  John's Gospel is topical, not primarily chronological, and it revolves around seven miracles and seven "I Am" statements of Christ Jesus.


Following an extended eyewitness description of the Upper Room meal and discourse, John records events leading up to the Resurrection, the final climactic proof that Jesus is Who He claims to be --- the Son of God.


The title of the Fourth Gospel follows the same format as the titles of the synoptic Gospels; Kata Ioannen, "According to John."  As with the others, the word "Gospel" was added later. Ioannes  is derived from the Hebrew name Johanan, "Yahwey Has Been Gracious."





This concludes the information on the four Gospels --- Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the Books that are about the birth, life, death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.  If you read the others concurrently (see archives) you will see how they harmonize perfectly, each showing a different "nature" of Christ Jesus.


A bit more information on the Apostle John...he was "the disciple that Jesus loved." Also, he was the only Apostle that was not martyred and lived a long life and died of natural causes, although it is not known how or when John died.  It is well-believed that he lived out the rest of his life in Ephesus after the Revelation of Christ Jesus while in exile in Patmos.  Below you will find a full-length movie based on his Gospel. It follows the Holy Scriptures completely with very little dramatic license.  It's long but well worth watching. Tomorrow I will give information on the other books of the New Testament as well as the Old.  God bless you all and enjoy the movie.  It brings John's Gospel to life as well as the life of Jesus Christ.  





"GATHERED TO HIS PEOPLE" by Charlie Cameron on Google Plus

“Gathered to his people” (Genesis 25:8,17)




This phrase caught my attention. It brought to mind the words of Jesus – ” … they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect … from one end of heaven to the other” (Matthew 24:30-31). What a great and glorious future the Lord is preparing for His people! We thank the Lord for what He done. We look forward, and we say, “The best is yet to be” – “if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life” (Romans 5:10).



A CHURCH THAT DOES NOT CARE...by Jessica D'Asaro on Google Plus

Posted with permission...



Good Evening. I want to spend what's left of my birthday today with you. How is everyone doing? May this listen touch you.

A church that cares not for truth is a community that rejects its very mission. The person who says, " I'm not interested in doctrine or theology," is not "of the truth". He or she has missed the voice of Jesus.
For the church to be the church, she must bow before her King and embrace the mission He has given to her. Yes, we desire a cultural reformation and a restoration of public morality. But that is secondary to and dependent on our mission to bear witness to the truth. Doctrine is important because its central concern is for an understanding of truth, without which there can be no godliness. It is the truth that sets us free, reforms our behavior, and defines us as disciples of Christ.


The world does not see or understand the city of God. It is a hidden city, a concealed kingdom.It is veiled by falsehood, by he who seeks to obscure the truth. The truth is that at this moment Jesus is the King of kings. This world is under His dominion. We are citizens in His realm. We must not negotiate or retreat from that affirmation. The kingdom of God comprises those people who believe what God says and obey when God commands.


I am here for you. I pray for your Salvation. May the touch of Christ fill you as you answer His knocking as you surrender to Him. For those who have their salvation in Christ it is always good every now and again to rededicate your life to and before Him.
May you have a special evening. In my prayers always. God Bless. Here if you need prayer and have prayer requests
