Gap Between Being Righteous and Living Righteously
Authentic believers seek honor for God in how we live before Him. This is the most difficult aspect of Christianity, living it, understanding how we are to live and what our approach to God (and others) should be. We need to be reaching out to others because God has reached out to us and it’s not just other people we need to reach out to. God expects us to help where we can help.

Blink of an Eye
This entire incident has become another “stone of remembrance” for me. Silvia and I can look back at this situation and know beyond all doubt that God oversaw it and was fully in the details. Even though we had our own plans, God interrupted us with His plans. He knew what was going to happen with my wonderful wife and He deliberately had us in the right place at the right time for medical care.
Zechariah 10: Superiority of Messiah’s Reign
This promise to gather Israel is repeated throughout Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:1-6, Jeremiah 23:1-8, Jeremiah 32:37-41, Ezekiel 11:16-20, Ezekiel 36:16-28, etc. Though Israel (Jews) have been scattered throughout the nations, they will remember God and come back to Israel. This is happening today and has been for a number of decades since 1948 (in unbelief). Hence, this is only partial fulfillment of these prophecies and the final fulfillment will be in belief!

Money Laundering
It’s starting to look like one huge money laundering scheme, perpetrated by the Biden Administration. Who knows, but it may go all the way back to Obama and before? Just how long American taxpayer dollars have been continually doled out on the most egregious things is anyone’s guess.

Sodom, Vaccines, Wokeness and NAR
Of course, not all archaeologists agree that the area was the ancient site known as Sodom. It must be remembered that many to most archaeologists are atheists or at least agnostics. They claim to simply pursue the science, yet when things point to the Bible, they often deny any and all connections. At most, what some may do is state that Tall el Hamman occurred and the story was passed down to successive generations and then eventually someone wrote it down and the narrative was picked up by the writers of the Bible and included in the text, while changing significant points to make it more in line with the purpose of the Bible.

DOGE Finds the Waste
Does Musk eventually want to take down the US Treasury and replace it with his own private company that will charge a fee for every transaction? Smartest Guy seems to think so and because Musk has talked about his “everything” app that will include X and everything else he creates, why wouldn’t Musk want to do that if he could?
Smartest Guy has a few words of warning and I think we best take notice. At the very least, maybe we should be distancing ourselves from Musk’s products: X, his cars, his AI, his neural-link, his robots. The more we involve ourselves in what he’s doing, the more we get caught up in what may turn out to be a critical snare.
One of the Great Nuancers
But nuancing is one excellent way to hide actual truth, by dressing it up as something it’s not. Off the top of my head, I can think of numerous leaders within Christendom who routinely nuance things. It makes them sound very intellectual and who doesn’t like to listen to an intellectual? Of course, Jesus was the most intelligent and intellectual of all, yet aside from the fact that He often presented truth in parabolic form, He also spoke plainly. I do not consider Jesus to be a nuancer. He was not cunning, crafty or subtle in His approach to people and most certainly not where God’s Word was concerned. He spoke the truth and only the truth. He didn’t soft soap it or cunningly attempt to hide the often brashness of God’s Word. He spoke truth and let the chips fall where they might.
Nadab’s Strange Fire
For Christians today, we are all fully under the blood of Jesus. Without it, we have zero protection from God’s wrath. With it, we are fully protected from it. However, the same temptation exists today for all Christians that existed for Nadab and Abihu. That is, the tendency to take God for granted or to allow our arrogance to move us away from how God expects us to live in this life.
It is a constant battle for the Christian, isn’t it? Thank God He does not deal with us as He dealt with the Israelites under the Law!
Why We Should Look Up
Looking up is the duty of every believer, to keep us from getting so bound up in and distracted by this world’s offerings. Paul, as he realized his physical death was approaching, noted to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:8, “Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” (ESV)

God Didn’t Whisper
Having said all that, it is important to also state that sin is sin. God hates all of it. Yet, He seems to have noted in Scripture that certain sins create more of a problem and fallout and are the result of the way a person thinks and designs their life. This thinking stems from a position of atheism that allows and encourages people to live as they wish. They in essence become a law unto themselves and encourage others to do the same. Too many within the visible Church today are trying to embrace people who really have no intention of seeing a need to submit to God allowing Him to change their behavior.
