His Will Remains
Thank God for His compassion, His pity, His love. Without it, this world would be an absolutely horrible place to live. Yet, God continues to hold out His arms beckoning people to come to Him in spite of their rebellion. He does this with Israel. He does this with other nations and He does this with individual people.
Staring Me in the Face
Here’s what I’m saying…we actually can see the character of our Lord in other believers to a small or great degree (depending on the person), if we will look for it. Sometimes, it stares us in the face for 40 years without us knowing it. While I’ve always loved my wife and will continue to love her, I’ve simply not noticed that Jesus lives within her and is expressing His character through her to other people and me. I’ve always seen her as pleasant, sweet, loving and attractive. Yes, she is those things and some of those things may be due to her own innate personality. However, it seems ultimately very clear to me that since she is a believer and Jesus does live within her because of the Holy Spirit, He is clearly expressing His character through her personality. He wants to do that with every believer. Some of us offer more roadblocks to Him unfortunately.
Much Ado About Prophetic Events
There were also numerous times when God said that things would happen “soon.” Isaiah is filled with words from our Lord that appear to indicate things will occur “soon,” and yet, in some cases, hundreds of years if not a few thousand years passed before His Words were fulfilled. When we hear “soon” from someone, we think not long in coming. Yet, from God’s perspective, “soon” may not mean that. He talks about the Millennial Kingdom and the blessings for the nation of Israel as happening “soon,” but we are still waiting. From His perspective, the timing is His and His alone to determine and it is compared to eternity not time as we understand and live it.
Privacy Is Dying Thanks to AI
There’s something happening that most cannot see because it is hidden under the surface. Artificial Intelligence (AI), is more and more included in the design of too many things: cars, appliances, telephones, TVs and too many other things to list. People are using AI to help write their papers or books. AI is being used as part of company coding that unfortunately, has had some very negative effects, which we’ll get to in a minute.
We are losing freedom in huge steps due to the Internet, which can be hacked. Yet most of us are completely unaware that this is the case. The reason? Because we do not see any real physical signs of the digital prison being built. Oh sure, when we go to stores, we see those cameras but we tell ourselves those are to stop shoplifters. They do work for that purpose, but they go well beyond that purpose too. Maybe we no longer see the cameras.
No One Knows…
Certainly, to be clear, things are ramping up and each day brings us one day closer to the Rapture and/or the start of the Tribulation (if you do not believe the Rapture precedes the Tribulation). However, we cannot know the day or hour of those events. We can know the times and the seasons but that is all. That still should not pull us away from the God-given task at hand, which is to live lives that glorify Him and we do that by dying to our own self will and reaching out to the lost.
Easter Blessings and Death of a Heretic
Easter’s resurrection of our Lord proved that perfect love conquers all evil. The grave could not keep Jesus. He arose due to His sinlessness and deity. He lives due to His sinlessness and deity. He loves due to His sinlessness and deity. He is God, very God, who took on the outer “robe” of humanity in order that He would perfectly fulfill the will of His Father and offered His life not only as a model of how we should live, but as a perfect substitution for us (Philippians 2), so that we personally, do not have to pay that price. He died so that we can gain eternal life and it is by faith in His propitiation that we find solace, comfort, eternal life and full acceptance by the Father.
AI Church and Jesus??
Though I’m not a prophet, I can clearly see a defined role of AI during the coming Tribulation period. Will AI be used by Technocrats to support their threats against humanity? Will AI robotic armies be sent to round up those who do not take the mark, or pledge loyalty to the False Prophet and Antichrist? Does the False Prophet use AI to make the image of the beast appears to live (Revelation 13:15)?
Virtue Signaling is All That Remains
I’m quite certain that there are good people trying to get into the USA. Unfortunately, those people are nearly completely eclipsed by those whose intentions are not good and in any case, everyone coming into the USA by illegal means is breaking America’s laws. Turner seems to be saying that we should set all this aside and simply view them as people in need. Of course, their biggest need is salvation. I’d agree with that, but there’s more to it than that.
Zechariah 14: Last Days in Detail
Zechariah 14 is a powerful and dynamic chapter that speaks of the Day of the Lord and the ultimate victory of God over evil. It serves as a reminder to all believers of the hope and redemption that is to come through Jesus Christ. The imagery of judgment, deliverance, and worship points to the final fulfillment of God’s promises to his people. As we await the return of Christ, we can take comfort in the knowledge that God is sovereign and will ultimately triumph over all.
Christian Deconstructionism
GotQuestions dot org[1] notes that “Deconstruction” is the heading most recently applied to the process of questioning, doubting, and ultimately rejecting aspects of Christian faith.”[1] Rather than walking away from Christianity, many of these folks start openly doubting aspects of what they have always held to be true, while remaining in their positions of authority. It’s all done with an air of compassion, honesty and questioning so as not to trigger a mass rejection of their newfound doubting.
