Over the Top Gun Violence in Movies
But the shootouts I watched in my youth were bloodless. A bad guy was shot, he fell over and died and there was no blood anywhere. It was the implication that told the story. Decades later, we watch as people are systematically dismembered, blood spattering everywhere. People are not just shot. They are shot until they look like swiss cheese, with blood spurting in all directions. Limbs are chopped off, women are raped violently, with detail after detail shown on the silver screen.
The Ups and Downs of Israel in Judges
Whose fault is this? Why did this new generation of Israelites grow up without knowing about God Himself or the things that He had done for Israel?! It is solely because parents did not instruct their children in this. If parents did not pass this wonderful information onto their children, how would the children have known? They couldn’t possibly know. This also tells us how lax the nation of Israel had become regarding the Law of God and the sacrifices. It appears there was a large vacuum where God was concerned in the very nation He created.
Joshua Calls Israelites on Failure to Obey
As Christians, we have something the Israelites did not have. We have the Holy Spirit living within us. He seals us unto the day of redemption and nothing can break that seal, not even our puny “free will” (Ephesians 4:30). God the Holy Spirit also empowers us to live a life whereby our words, thoughts, and actions bring great glory to God. Would you agree with me that even with the Holy Spirit within us, it is often difficult to live the life that God requires? Yet, we must persevere. As Paul says, we must work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). Of course, Paul is not saying we must work for our salvation. He is saying we must work or cooperate with God as His character is being formed in us in this life. The results of our salvation are what need to work out in and through us. It is a process called sanctification that must happen for each and every Christian.
Behold Your God: He is Preeminent
According to Scripture, Jesus was not the first person to rise from the dead, but the first to rise in glorified form. No one else had ever done that and the only reason authentic Christians will do this at some point in the future is because of the power of Christ. We look forward to heaven and receiving our glorified bodies that will be perfect and completely sin-free because of Jesus and His power over all of His Creation, which includes us.
Donald Trump, the Bible, and the End Times, Pt 3
One side of the triangle was now gone. With only two sides left, the “triangle” that was cannot stand for long. Most of the world missed the meaning of the sword dance, but compare that to how Mr. Obama was received by the Saudis during his term in office. He was not treated as an equal and in fact, did not express himself as an equal to the Saudis. There was a good reason for that and maybe we’ll get into that in another article.
Behold Your God: Before All Things and Holds All Things Together
There is nothing that exists that Jesus did not originally make. Sure, people have “created” things by taking one thing and marrying it to another thing. But Jesus created “ex nihilo” (Latin), or “out of nothing.” I can “create” a fence or as I’m planning on doing, finish a patio cover, frame in it, and then screen it in. It will be my “creation,” but all I’m really doing is taking wood that someone else processed, nails and screws, and screening to build something that keeps the flies out of our back patio. Ultimately, God made the wood and everything else from which companies take bare resources to make nails, screws, and screening. I don’t really create anything. I simply build it or put it together.
Prophets and Dreamers from Deuteronomy
So we learn that there are two categories of false prophets/dreamers. The first in Deuteronomy 13 is the one whose prophesies come to pass but his intent is to drag people away from the living God to error by worshiping other false gods. The second in Deuteronomy 18 speaks of the false prophet who prophesies falsely – what he declares simply does not come to pass. In both cases, we are to avoid that person. We should “mark” them in our minds – make a strong mental note about them – and warn others as well. If we warn others and they do not heed our warning, it is on them.
Donald Trump, the Bible, and the End Times, Pt 2
In spite of all the good that might be accomplished under Trump that could have long-lasting effects for America and the world, the reality is that whatever Trump is able to accomplish may inadvertently create a strong foundation for the coming world unification. We are talking about a financial reset, a new global currency, the appearance of peace throughout much of the world, and a new day of what many might consider to be their longed-for Utopia.
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.
Brenden Dilley’s Intel Source Shares Some More Intel (Feb 11)
Dilley next speaks of Beatrix of the Netherlands and asks, “What’s her link to Barbara Bush?” Beatrix was the Queen of the Netherlands until 2013, when she abdicated her throne. The connection with the Bushes? I know many conservatives still believe that the Bush family is truly conservative and patriotic. In essence, the Bushes are the flip side of the same coin with the Clintons. It’s all about them, their own self-aggrandizement and enrichment. They only appear to be conservatives and with George W.’s most recent comments, it’s obvious that this veneer is fading as well. These people are trotted out by the globalists for disinformation purposes. In fact, good ol’ Jeb Bush has also come out to attack President Trump. The gloves are coming off as I believe, if memory serves, both these guys supporting Hillary Clinton for president. I find that absolutely absurd. Bush is supposedly GOP and “conservative” yet he comes out supporting Hillary Clinton, who is as far Left as you can get.
