Transhumanism on the Rise
On one hand, it’s always good when science can truly discover things that help us to live a bit longer and in better health. That’s a good thing. The idea of being able to live forever in this life is asinine. We’re not meant to do that because in our fallen state, we would simply go from bad to worse…forever without dying. I cannot imagine that state. God stopped that from happening after removing Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and placing angels to guard it to keep them from going back in and eating of the tree of life (Genesis 3).
Donald Trump, the Bible, and the End Times, Pt 1
But for me, there was actually a much larger issue at hand. I could not wrap my brain around the fact that if Trump was legitimate and actually wanted to bring America back under the rule of law as outlined in the United States Constitution, how could this possibly happen if the Bible says this world will ultimately become one in a form of a new world order, or one-world government that would be eventually headed up by the Antichrist? I admit I couldn’t see how it all fit together.
Deuteronomy is Moses’ Swansong
This is a great time for us to reflect on this area of idolatry. Most people today do not bow down before graven images. We don’t have shrines in our homes and I’m referring to Christians here. I know that those within Buddhism, and other Eastern religions often have some form of shrine in their home or around their home. Moses told the people to not make any type of image of anything that might tempt the people to worship it. This is anathema to God because He alone is to be worshiped.

A Warning for ALL Evangelical Churches
If you see that your church is starting to slide in modern music, reducing the number of hymns, be wary. It often starts like that and pretty soon, the hymns are shunted off to the side and the modern music is given the spotlight. Older folks are encouraged to “come along with the Spirit” so that more young people will come to church.
Q: A BIG Week and Startling Information!
I am now convinced that God allowed President Obama to rise to power and to do what he could to destroy America. Had Obama not been allowed to do that, we would not be where we are now. If things had simply happened ever so slowly over many decades, we might not even have noticed. However, with the speed with which Obama was able to start dismantling America, too many noticed. Because of that, Christians took to their knees. We prayed for at least the eight years that Obama was in office. It appears that God has heard our prayers and is answering them. We have an opportunity to do what is absolutely right and we cannot shrink from it. Again, if there is nothing else you can do, you can pray. Pray for the safety of President Trump and family. Pray that God will bring all of this to a head so that the perpetrators of all this illegalities will come to the surface and people will go to prison.
Is It Okay If I Hold a “Little” Grudge?
Can you imagine the tremendous emotion Joseph felt? The text says he “could not control himself,” so he ushered everyone out except his brothers. Then he tells them who he is and weeps! His brothers were stunned. They were beside themselves with fear. What would Joseph do to them? They feared imprisonment or death. They did not understand and it took them until even after their father had died to realize that Joseph meant them no harm (Genesis 50:15-21).
So Let Me Get This Straight…
No, all of these things are actually bad because they corrupt justice. Please don’t tell me this nation, like many others, is not heading toward judgment. We have essentially turned justice on its head and deserve what we have caused or allowed. It is in vogue to blame victims, censor truth, and applaud evil. The nation that does that cannot hope to stand long.

Loving God Equals Obedience…
John makes several statements at the end of 1 John 2 that we need to focus on. The first one deals with our reaction to Jesus when we ultimately and physically see Him. If we lived our days as Christians until we die striving to be in obedience to Jesus (from the heart), we will not be ashamed when we see Him. However, if we lived in a way that feeds and glorifies self, giving into the temptations around us, we will be ashamed when we come into Jesus’ Presence.

NAR’s Call for Restoration of the Church
I clearly recall the new worship leader inviting people to clap and even dance in the aisles of the sanctuary during morning service. He wanted people to worship God in the way he thought was appropriate, through emotional displays. Where is the self-control? Where is the decorum that is so often spoken of in Scripture? Too often today, love for God is relegated to our emotions. While we certainly should be glad for what God has done for us, with hearts filled with genuine praise, the reality is that love is best seen in our quiet, submissive obedience to every aspect of His will. Anyone can dance in the aisles and shout “hallelujah!” However, it means nothing if our lives do not conform to His will in obedience.

When Christian Leaders Fail
The church does no good by allowing fallen leaders to remain in their positions of authority. They’re actions have brought disrepute on the Name of Christ. Their hypocrisy is what they then become known for and while this has nothing to do with a need to forgive, it is clear that according to Scriptures, they have lost the ability to oversee and manage people because they failed to oversee and manage their own lives.
