What do the scriptures say? When we study the scriptures on a subject, we go by what the entire Word says, based upon the guiding of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will lead us into ALL truth. That’s how it works. (John 16:13, Jas 1:5) We are surrounded by lots of false teachings, and…
We have a corrupted nature “I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.”—Rom. 7:21 Romans chapter 7 explains to us the purpose of God’s Law. It’s purpose is to reveal sin in us, so that it can be dealt with. Paul describes the struggle between law and…
Our Peace Comes Through Knowing Him “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”—Phil. 4:6-7 You’ve seen the slogan “Know Jesus. Know Peace.No…
As Saints we need to understand the Word, and the work we are called to do.
We need to understand the world around us and what is going on in our lives, and the lives of people we are in contact with.
Why do we sin?
Why do we have difficult lives?
The reason is because Adam chose to eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, after being warned not to.
This brought death into the world. It caused humans to have a corrupted nature. It allowed Satan to take dominion of this world from Adam.
That is why we sin. That is why we die. and that is why there is a power that seems to rule over this world.
But, God did not leave us like that.
He came and brought a curse, “for our sake”. (Gen. 3 KJV)
The curse did not bring death or sin or Satan, those things already existed because of the fall. And God does not cause us to sin. That is not His character.
We commit sins because of what is in us from the fall. Our corrupted nature. This is important to understand. It’s like the symptoms of a spiritual plague. The plague of Sin.
God laid down His curse not as a punishment but as a tool to cause us to turn to Him and be saved. He is our only Hope.
He created the woman to be a helper to the man. So, the curse plays on her desire to help and nurture. It causes her to seek God for salvation and help, through her desire for family. She needs help and God is the only help.
The man is not cursed. But, the earth is cursed, so that no matter what he does, it only brings forth thorns and thistles. His hard work, is supposed to cause him to turn to God for salvation and help.
This is literally true. But, there is a symbolic truth involved, because thorns and thistles are symbols of sin.
It means that all his works are sin. It means that no matter how hard he tries he cannot produce good. This symbolism is supposed to teach us that there is nothing we can do to fix ourselves, only Christ can do that.
Everything around us are symbols of the truth of God. Every aspect of reality is interwoven with the truth of His Word.
So, let’s look at more thorns and thistles.
Paul says that Jesus Christ was made sin for us. (2 Cor. 5:21)
God made a sinless Christ into sin for us and nailed it to the cross.
He nailed Sin itself to the cross.
Notice how Jesus was given a crown of thorns and a robe of scarlet. (Matthew 27:27-30)
These are the symbols showing He was made sin for us.
Sin and it’s power over us has been destroyed on the cross if we turn to Him. If we ask Him to save us and confess Him as our Lord. (Rom 10:9-10)
That doesn’t mean we don’t sin. Remember every work we do is filthy rags. It is all sin, unless we do it through and in Him.
And when we sin we confess our sins to Him and He is faithful and just to cleanse us of ALL sin. (1 John 1:8-10)
But, ALL of our sin is gone in Him. It is as though we had never sinned at all. Christ’s blood washes us clean. So, clean that we do not sin, even in the midst of our sin. It is not held to our account.
But, have we really turned to Him? Do we really know Him?
That is important.
In these last days we need to make sure we are in Christ. He is our Ark for salvation.
The scriptures teach that there will be people who think they are saved, because they are relying on their own works, instead of the finished work of Christ.
Are we relying totally on Him, or are we trying to do things ourselves, and only producing thorns and thistles?
Jesus said, “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”— (Matt. 7)
The fruits of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance, do not come from the flesh. They come from the Holy Spirit in us and working in us. Our fleshly works only produce thorns and thistles.
Are you growing in the Spirit? Are you producing good fruits? Are the people you seek to follow as leaders really producing good fruits?
The narrow way that leads to life is Jesus Christ and Him alone for salvation. It is not by works. It is not by flesh which produces thorns and thistles. It is not because you quit sinning. You cannot quit sinning, its all thorns and thistles without Christ.
Jesus tells us of the Sower in Matthew 13.
The Word of God goes forth into the World.
Some people become quickly deceived by Satan and demonic forces and cannot understand the Word, or refuse to receive it.
Others hear it, and are overjoyed that God will forgive them of sins and work in their life. But, trouble comes and people make fun of them or persecute them. So, they turn away from God. They never knew Him. They had no root, in Him.
Some people hear the Word, but thorns and thistles choke it out. They let the problems of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke out the Word. They never turned to God and let Him save them. The sin and flesh in their life overpowered the Word. They relied on their own works and wealth to save them.
But, when we are willing to let God work, and give ourselves to Him. When we are broken enough, like good soil prepared for the Word. We can turn to God and be saved. Growing in Him.
God keeps coming. His Word is everywhere. He does not just try one time and you are done. He keeps working to save us till we are dead.
We might be hard hearted, but over time He breaks us and softens us so that we can hear Him speak and accept Him. Then, His Word grows in us a mighty Oak, that thorns cannot stop. God works to prepare the soil of our heart to receive Him. We cannot.
Never stop turning to God. Never stop relying on Him alone for salvation, not by our works but by His grace and goodness.
By His Holy Spirit working in us, we can produce fruit, instead of the thorns and thistles of the flesh.
The Word speaks that in these last days there will fall away great numbers of Christians who never really knew Him. They will beat the men servants and maid servants. They will give in to persecution and have no root in God. They will have no oil of faith in the their lamp, when He comes. They will be rejected. (2 Thess. 2:3, Matt. 25, Luke 12:45,)
The signs of the times Meteorologists warn us about coming storms. Whether it’s a freezing rain and snow or a summer tornado. Folks believe them. They stock up on bread and milk. They buy icy melt. They break out the snow gear and the shovels or flash lights. They check on family. They stay home…
We owe Him everything God gave us life. He gives us the things we need and the joys of this world. When we get saved and know Him, we see that He gives us so much more. We realize that everything comes from Him and all of it works together for our good. Our thankfulness…

Do We Follow Evil Authority? There’s a Christian concept that I have struggled with over the years. It is the idea that believers are supposed to bow down to Authority. No matter how evil it is. The concept comes from this verse, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no…
Father’s are under attack It’s Fathers Day and probably the sermons you will hear today, and the things posted on social media, will be attacks on Father’s. Little jabs talking about how they need to do better, and are the leaders of the household or some other form of guilt and shame. And we wonder…
God Doesn’t Do Like The World Does. Jesus said. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”—John 14:27 (John 14:1-31–in context) When God calls us, and we turn to Him, confessing Jesus…
I worked as a janitor at a church for 18 years. One of my duties was snow removal, putting out icy melt and making sure folks could get in the building safely.
I cleared steps and made safe paths to the parking lot where a plow would come and clear the snow away for the cars.
Many times I would do this the night before church, or in the early dark morning, before church started. Sometimes, I would get help from several of the members if the snow came on a Friday. They would show up at the butt crack of dawn on Saturday and we would shovel the snow off the steps.
Every time it snowed or iced there was a debate in the church about whether to cancel or not.
You had the diehards who claimed that we should never close church. They treated it like a mortal sin and a lack of faith in God, to close the church.
Course, none of these people ever showed up to shovel the snow off the steps.
They would be the first to complain that the parking lot was slick, and there wasn’t enough icy melt. They wanted to hear the crunching Icy Melt under their feet, like it was 1940 rock salt. Modern Icy Melt works pretty good, in low amounts. You don’t need a lot.
They acted like God had a scorecard to see who would prove their faith by coming to church in the snow. You really believe, if you are willing to fall and break a hip for Jesus.
It’s part of the Churchianity mentality. A belief that going to church saves you and makes you right with God, despite what the Bible actually teaches about salvation by Grace and Christ alone.
I always felt that God was alright with cancelling church.
It was for peoples safety, and really didn’t hurt anything.
I can’t imagine everyone crying and praying for sister Bertha’s broken hip, because she braved the snow when we should have just cancelled.
But, I learned something after a conversation with the pastor.
“We can’t cancel church because we won’t get paid. People won’t pay tithes that day, and they won’t make it up the next week either.” He said. (This was the basic statement over many years and conversations.)
The first time I heard it my mind was blown.
I was trying to serve God, but here was this guy serving money.
I understand that money is needed, but I think love and faith will work it out. God will take care of it when we trust in Him and do what is right and loving.
I tried to justify it in my mind, because we do need money.
But God pointed out several things after that which showed me that it was really about the love of money.
Money, money, money.
It made me wonder how many things are done under the banner of faith, but it’s really just for the money.
Do I think church and religion is about money?
No.
God can use anything to reach and support His people. And the people who know God can find a way to draw closer to Him, no matter what.
But, there are lots of folks in church who do not care about loving God and others, more than they care about money and wealth.
You wouldn’t think that shoveling snow or canceling church would be that big of a deal.
But, God can often show truth in the little things of life.
He is with you. Believe it. There are times in our lives when we feel that God has abandoned us. It seems that He doesn’t hear and we don’t feel His presence or see His movements in our lives. I have experienced the same. God has opened my eyes to the reality of it, and…
Both are working in this world. The spirit of antichrist is mentioned in God’s Word ( 1 John 2:18, 22, 1 John 4:1-6, 2 John 7 KJV) but very little is known of it. It is rarely mentioned in sermons or teachings to the saints. It is important to know what this is, because it is working…
We are all called by God to serve. 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…
Everyone needs alone time. It helps us to find ourselves. It helps us to learn who we are. It helps us to have time to formulate our opinions on life. It helps us to foster our relationship with God. It gives us prayer time.
We spend so much time with others. Whether it’s family or work or friends and even the constant access to media. News. social media, streaming, videos, reading, or music.
Do you know yourself?
We spend our lives attached to others. Then, when something happens like divorce, a break up, loss of a job, or death. We have no idea who we are without the other person.
Our beliefs, hobbies, joys and likes are tied up in the others.
Learn to take time for yourself. Remember when you were a child, before life, school and others imposed their view on you. What did you dream of being when you grew up?
What stories did you love the most? Did you travel? What places did you always want to go to?
Learn to enjoy reading. Reading is alone time.
Learn to meditate or workout alone.
Spend time in prayer. Talk to God. Do spiritual work.
Once you realize your need for alone time you will desire it. The ability to be alone and entertain yourself is power.
No one can take it away from you. Once you realize that you enjoy being alone, then ostracism is no longer a threat. You can be you.
If you cannot spend time alone, you should ask yourself why. Pray about it. What are you avoiding?
Some people cannot stand silence. They can’t stand to be alone with their own thoughts. They need music or the sound of someone else’s voice. They cannot stand awkward silences, and must fill the void with chatter.
Why?
This is important spiritual work. Ask God, why you can’t be alone with your thoughts.
Go for a walk in nature. Spend time alone there and let the thoughts flow.
Knowing yourself matters. Imagine dying, having never even known yourself.
You cannot heal from the trauma of life or the things around you if you do not know yourself or spend time trying to know yourself.
How do you know if you are healed or healthy if you never knew real self?
Are the beliefs you hold really your own?
Have you spent any real time formulating your own opinions on life or do you just parrot what friends and society tell you?
Alone time is valuable, and necessary.
It is a fact that we came into this world alone.
And it is certain that we will leave it alone as well.
Alone is our beginning foundational state.
Sometimes you gotta go back to the beginning to find yourself.
What is it really? And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had…
The first mother “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.”— Gen 3:20 She was created after Adam; to be his helpmate. To be his companion. We do not know how long Adam was alone before God caused him to fall into a deep sleep, and removed a…
God calls us to Him “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”— Psalm 30:5 Things happen in our lives. Terrible things that break us and drag us down. Things that we cannot control and ruin us. Things that…
There really is only one thing moving behind the scenes.
What is going on in the world? Why are things like this?
Are you a conspiracy theorist or have you seen things that goes on in history or in the news that doesn’t make sense? Things that seem to be connected, but there’s really no rational way they could be.
Have you noticed that we always seem to head in the same direction, like some unseen hand guides the events of the world and history. Something you can’t prove but you can plainly see?
Have you considered the spiritual element?
Have you considered that humans have a spiritual enemy that seeks to rule over us and to dethrone God?
All those connections you cannot seem to make or that make you feel crazy, are easily made when you consider that Satan, Fallen Angels, Unclean Spirits, Demons, and the spirit of antichrist is working behind the scenes. It’s not just humans doing all the work themselves.
You wanna know who “They” are?
This is them.
“They” are spiritual forces of darkness in high places who direct humans to move us in a certain direction. (Eph. 6:12)
Do you see the pantheons of gods in history? Zeus, Odin, Osiris, Hades, Set?
In every part of the world?
This is them. The Fallen Angels. The Nephilim. The gods.
They have worked since the beginning of the world to bring it under their complete control, and for Satan to be worshiped as the most high god. (Isa. 14:12-20, Ezek. 28:1-19)
They have done the same thing, over and over again throughout history.
They corrupted Adam and Eve telling them that they would be as gods, getting them to doubt God’s Word and Goodness. (Gen. 3)
This allowed them to be able to take dominion of the Earth from Adam.
They now rule behind the scenes, and have for a long time.
Why does this matter?
Because history is one big story of these guys trying to take over and be worshiped.
It is believed the Fallen Angels came to Earth at the time of Jared in the Bible. (Gen. Chapter 5.)
They corrupted humanity, and abused all of nature. (Gen. 6)
They were with human women and giants were born to them. These were the Nephilim.
Mythology also speaks of “gods” like Zeus taking human women, and demi-gods were born.
The ancient gods were the fallen angels, and their offspring. Like all stories it changes over time. Little details change here and there but the core is the same. These “gods” were known all over the world.
When Alexander the Great of Greece invaded Egypt it is said he was amazed that they worshiped the same gods.
The stories of the gods are the same to some extent all over the world.
Could it have been the fallen angels?
How did ancient people come up with the same beliefs all over the world?
Ok, so the fallen angels came to earth and connected with the line of Cain.
St. Augustine says that the fallen ones in the Bible are referring to the line of Cain corrupting the line of Seth. He rejects the idea of fallen angels.
St. Augustine’s view became the common teaching. Helping to hide the truth. But, one must ask. How does two human groups procreating with each other bring out giants? And the Bible teaches there were giants. Goliath was a giant.
I believe it was both. Fallen angels came, giants (demi-gods) were born, and the line of Cain corrupted the line of Seth.
The world was ruined.
So the Flood came and washed it all away.
Now, when you look at this story and read the Biblical texts. What you will find is that the same corruption is going on in the world today, as we race towards destruction.
By the time the Flood came the humans and giants under the direction of the fallen ones, created a world wide trade system. They built huge structures. Globally. It is claimed that they did lots of evil things. Human sacrifice, Cannibalism, Slavery, mixing of animals and humans, if you can imagine an evil thing, it was happening. It’s believed there was science and sorcery of the most vilest types. Were there really ancient aliens? Or were they Nephilim, and humans directed by fallen angels? Could aliens be fallen angels or demons from another dimension of existence, instead of another planet?
After the Flood only eight humans survived.
Do you think God believed that a flood would destroy angels and demons? Nope.
Do you think God believed a flood would destroy sin? Nope.
Sin is a corrupting plague.
But He washed the Earth clean, and waited to see if the corruption came back. If it does then it must be burned. And that is where the earth is headed. To be burned with fire.(Lev. 13:47-59)
So, what we see after the Flood, is that the whole world is united. They are led to build a tower. This tower was supposed to unite and protect humans from another catastrophe like the Flood.
It is believed that Nimrod was the king that led in the building of the tower. He is a picture of the Anti-Christ to come. He was led to build the tower by the fallen angels and demonic forces it is believed. This tower is a picture of the New World Order being built today. It is also a picture of the technology that is working to unite the world. (Gen. 10 8-9, Gen. 11)
God came down and confused the languages and the people scattered over the Earth.
This is why there are different names for the gods, and for the first king and his family. This is why the mythologies are the same, but different globally.
Satan and the fallen angels were thwarted again. This is the second time they tried to build a global empire to worship Satan and oppose God.
Do you see the pattern?
From this point in history the “gods” directed humans and led them to create massive empires. To control and unite humans again.
God does not want humans united, unless and until we are finally united under Christ.
History is full of kings who claimed to be descendants from gods, who went forth to conquer and united the world under them.
Do you think that’s a coincidence?
Perhaps they really are descended from the Nephilim?
When you look at history, the Bible, prophecy, mythology, and conspiracy with this mindset, you really see some interesting things. Who is really behind the scenes and why?
When we look at the book of Daniel we see an image of a human, which described global kingdoms throughout history. It shows Babylon, Persia, Greek, Roman, and a future (or present) kingdom. But, the entire idol is one idol. Which means that all these kingdoms are not really separate. They are all united and they are led by Satan, the fallen angels and demonic forces. (Daniel Chapter 2)
This is a very simple picture of the ancient world. Controlled by empires and the “gods’. Which brings us to the time of Jesus Christ.
Jesus was killed by the Roman empire and by the religious leaders. Both of whom were controlled by Satan, the fallen angels and demonic forces. Paul plainly states that the “princes of this world” crucified Jesus. He is not talking about the pharisees or Rome. he is referring to demonic princes, described in Daniel. He is talking about Satan and the fallen angels who are principalities and powers in high places. (1 Cor. 2:8, Daniel Chapter 10, Eph. 6:20)
We read in John Chapter 13, that when Jesus gave Judas the sop of bread. Satan entered into him and he went to betray Christ. This plainly shows that demonic forces killed Jesus. They used Judas to betray, They used the religious leaders to condemn, and they used the Roman Empire to execute him.
But, when Jesus was crucified and rose again He broke the power of the Fallen Angels. We see the power of the “gods” being destroyed globally in history throughout the world.
Coincidence?
What we see from this point is the same thing as before, Empires growing around the world led by Kings, Priests and Presidents. We see great atrocities committed globally. We see the creation of global economies and corporations. We see international bankers and secret societies coming into being.
We see problems created, then solved by the same people who created them. We see money controlling the world, while billions are kept in poverty and bondage.
We see the world uniting constantly under new empires of commerce and ideology.
The world always heading in the same direction. More control. More connectedness.
All of it directed by those who rule behind the scenes. Those who have ruled from before the Flood.
So, when you discuss conspiracy theories, whether it’s the Catholic Church, or The Royals, or the Rothchilds, or the Illuminati, or the Knights Templar, or the Tri-lateral Commision, or the Bilderbergers, or Bohemian Grove, or the Federal Reserve, or any of it.

Satan’s Insanity If you’ve read the Bible, you know that we have a spiritual enemy. Satan fell sometime after creation. We do not know exactly when, but it was because he desired to be “like the most High”. (Isa. 14: 12-17) He wants to be God. This desire led to his fall and corruption. It…

There’s a verse in Isaiah that people like to quote.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”—Isa. 40:31
Tough times come into our lives.
It doesn’t matter what kind of tough times, because it all does the same thing to us. It brings us to a place where we are faced with trusting God or not.
When you look at the temptations of Christ, you will find that they all end in the same basic question.
Do you trust God?
Do you trust God to provide?
Do you trust God to protect?
Do you trust God to answer?
Do you trust God to guide?
I am in the same boat. Destroyed and abandoned by people I called friends. People who claimed to be friends. People who call themselves believers in Christ, but do not love the brethren, like He commands.
I’m waiting upon the Lord.
What does that mean?
Well, it means to continue doing the things you know for a fact He called you to do. It means doing what is right and abiding in Him; keeping the relationship with Him.
He called Abram to follow Him out into the wilderness and Abram went. “Come unto a land that I will show you.”
And Abram followed as God led. It was a daily walk. But, God led him to a place where Abram was fulfilling his purpose.
Abram listen to God’s leading, as frustrating as it is to not know the whole plan. But, the following and the waiting and the learning the voice of the Lord was the real plan. That was the relationship.
And Abram, became Abraham, the father of nations. A powerful prophet in the land where God led him.
As sheep we follow the shepherd. We know his voice because God teaches it to us. We see Him moving and we remember what He tells us. We trust in the things He has shown us and confirmed in His Word.
He leads us by the still waters. His rod and staff comfort us. Not because of where we are, but because of Who is with us. Nothing can harm us for real. He is there.
Our faith grows in the relationship. It grows when we hear God’s Word and we put our faith in it and stand on it despite all odds. His promises are true and no matter what happens He is with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. We can stand on the Rock of Christ, the Rock of His Word.
Turn to Him and He comes running. Seek and you shall find. Ask and it shall be given to you. Knock and it will be opened. We have not, because we ask not. We are his children, we can come boldly to the throne and seek Him in our despair.
While we wait on the Lord to show us the next step, we stand on faith. We stand on His Word, and the things He has shown us in our lives, which is our testimony. The testimony of the great things He has done for us.
We can trust Him. He is coming fast.
Like the Israelite’s in the desert waiting on the pillar of smoke and fire to move. He will move.
Faith comes by hearing the Word. Speak it to yourself.
“Whatsoever I ask in His name He will do.”
Believe it.
Trust it.
Drive the doubt out of your mind with it.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”
Say it.
Believe it.
Stand on it.
Let the promises fill you with faith and drive the demons of doubt and fear and infirmity away.
“By His stripes I am healed”
Believe it.
“Take up your mat and walk”
Believe it.
Get up and get busy.
Do what you can do.
Grab that promise and run with it.
Dance before the Lord and trust that He has your back.
He is coming. He promises.
You will run and not be weary.
Believe it.
Our relationship with Him forever is being built.
We know Him, through the relationship He is building. We know Him as we walk with Him through the desert. We know Him as we wait upon Him and continue in well doing till he comes.
And He is coming.
You will hear His voice and see Him move to help you.

So, we know the seasons. The Bible is 30% prophecy, as some have stated. But, when you consider that the whole thing is about Jesus Christ, and that all the stories and pictures speak of Him, His First Coming and Second Coming, I think its more like 100%. God has called all believers to be…
Currently our world is in a struggle between the past and the future.
We see that there are problems with what we have been doing, and that it is destroying the planet.
So, inventors, scientists and major corporations are working around the clock to develop alternative energy sources in order to keep up with our current lifestyles, and economic needs.
This causes much debate about whether alternative energy is better or not.
And both sides have talking points that back up their argument and help support the industry that helps them make or save money.
And money is what seems to matter.
The debate has been carefully framed. We are allowed to debate whether alternative energy is good, bad or needed.
But, if we care about our planet, we need to get out of the framed debate and ask some other questions.
Such as, “Is the problem with alternative energy? Or is the problem with the method of delivery?”
What do I mean?
We know that solar and wind power works.
But, most of the debate lies in how solar fields and wind farms are just as destructive to the planet, and take up just as much resources as anything else. That it is not really a violable alternative. That’s most of the argument.
But, the real problem lies in the method of delivery.
Mega corporations want to create giant wind turbines and use thousands of acres of land, not because it’s needed to generate power. But, because it’s needed to generate money.
We have the solution to the energy problem. But, we gotta wait till the companies create ways to charge us for it.
It’s not about having an alternative, it’s about making people rich off it.
There’s a story, and I can’t really prove if it’s true, but it explains what I’m saying.
Nikolai Tesla allegedly created a means to generate free power and transmit it through the air, for all people to use freely. But, he needed an investor. He could not build it without money.
So he went to J.P. Morgan, who is alleged to have denied the request stating. “How can I charge people for it?”
And that’s the problem we face.
We could put solar and wind on the roofs of every house and business. We could design wind and solar generators that could be hidden in plain sight or made beautiful.
This would cut our energy problem way down.
But, how can they charge us for it? Not once, but keep us on the hook for life?
Like drug dealers.
They don’t want to just sell a drug, they want to keep you for life.
Would the powers that be, even seek alternative energy if they couldn’t charge us for it?
Would our world even be devastated if it wasn’t for them making money?
Honestly, I think the energy problem will not be solved until they create fusion power or some of form of power we never imagined.
Course, we will never get it till they figure out a way to charge us for it.
And that’s why the love of money is the real problem.
God works to build the Kingdom through us. James 2:14-26 In this passage. The apostle James, speaks of works being an aspect of our faith. It ends with the famous phrase “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” In the verses James shows that God commanded…
Why does God let us struggle? When we get saved, we might notice that there are things that change in us immediately. But, there are other things that do not. It’s like God saves us and removes some things but leaves other things in our lives for us to struggle with. I mean if God…
We are corrupt at the very core. What I am going to present to you today is something different. A different way to look at the world, and humanity. Something different than the legalism around us. As Christians we are taught and have come to understand a view of God, Scripture and the World based…
