Who Jesus Really Is

3 Comments

I came across this scripture today and thought with everything going on around us it’s the perfect time to confirm exactly who Jesus is. The scripture I’m referring to states;

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son
of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
And we have known and believed the love
that God has for us. God is love, and he who
abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

1John 4:15,16

This scripture alone confirms who Jesus is, the Son of God. But there are many today who ridicule, mock, and even detest the name of Jesus. Instead of putting their faith in Him, they choose the ways of this world. They choose science, politics, ideologies, money, and worldly pleasures which are all man made standards before putting their trust in the Creator of the world.

Jesus came to teach the ways of God, to save us. Christianity is not a religion, nor a cult it is a way lifestyle which God wants Christians, believers, to live. All we need to do is believe in Jesus, in who He is, in who sent Him God the Father, believe on His name, repent of our sins, and walk in light instead of darkness. We’re called to live a righteous lifestyle so we can experience a relationship with God. But our culture would rather mock Jesus for who He is and what He did for us. As I’ve said before whether one is an atheist, pagan, gnostic or has an LGBTQ lifestyle, it doesn’t really matter. Because if you can choose to mock Jesus, just know one thing, He is coming back and when He does it will be one of Judgement.

God’s Love is Not Worldly Love

15 Comments

As I journey through the scriptures I’m constantly reminded that God’s love is completely different than worldly love. So, I’m not a bit surprised how many look to this world for their information about what love is. Because as you look at societies today many have fallen for these twisted snares easily found. I continue to see the decline in morality, in family values and GODLY LOVE. The Scriptures read;

And we have come to know and believe
the love that God has for us. God is love;
whoever abides in love abides in God,
and God in Him.

1 John 4:16

From the scriptures we learn, God is love. Which makes perfect sense when we read the scripture which states;

For God so love the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have everlasting
life. For God did not send His Son
into the world to condemn the
world, but the world through
Him might be saved.

John 3:16,17

God sent His only Son to save the world from these worldly temptations, twisted snares and ideologies. But many are so worldly that they’ve separated themselves from God since they choose to live their lives according to what the world instructs instead of what God says.

How can one know if they’re living in worldly love? The scriptures provide information, which reads;

1 John 2:16 – For all that is in the world – the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life – is not from the Father but is from the world.

Romans 8:5-8 – Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

Galatians 5:19-21 – Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: Sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, out bursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

From these scriptures alone, it’s pretty clear that those who choose to live worldly lives are NOT inline with God’s ways. Because the flesh is hostile to God laws. In other words, those who choose to focus on anything other than God does not have His love in them. And as we see more and more deterioration in the world, in society, believers are aware that we are drawing closer to the Day of the Lord. The scriptures read;

2 Timothy 3:1-5 – But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!

Of course, it’s up to each of us to decide, follow God or follow the ways of this world!

Test Yourself

15 Comments

As a Christian I have a duty to testify to the Lord Jesus to others about what He’s done in my life and what He can do in a non-believers life. Recently, I’ve had the privilege to give out New Testament Bibles and testify to who Jesus Christ is, the Son of God. But during this witnessing testimony I also explained how Jesus taught to repent of our sins, turn away from them and live righteously before God. Mind you, the person I gave this testimony to worked at a local grocery store and she was at the register so time was very limited.

I had actually encountered her once before when she brought my groceries out to my car and I asked her if she reads the Bible. She told me no, then I asked if she knew who Jesus was and she said she knew of Him and thought He was a good man and liked some of His principles. I told her I would love to give her a Bible but had given out my last one but would be getting more. She said that was fine so when I received them, I went to the grocery store and found her at the register. Obviously, I was very excited to see her. That’s how it all began. Of course, there’s so much more I would have loved to say, but, she was working and I didn’t want to get her in trouble

Something I did ask her, where do you think you’ll go heaven or hell?

She answered heaven, and so I said to her is it ok to test that? She said yes. so I told her I had 3 questions to ask and please understand I’m not judging you cause I was very worldly so I can’t judge, so please don’t take it that way. Cause it’s strictly to see how God would view you. The first question asked was, have you ever told a lie? Second, have you ever stolen anything? And third, have you ever had sex outside of marriage? All of her answers were yes, so I told her, according to her own words, she was a lying, thieving, fornicator, but please understand, I’m not judging you. but then I asked again, heaven or hell? She said hell.

I explained to her that I wanted her to take this test so as you begin reading the Bible she would understand the reason why Jesus taught how important it is to repent of our sins, turn away from them and live a righteous life before God. She was very courteous, understanding but a bit shocked when she realized the answers she gave could lead her to hell instead of heaven. Remember the scripture which reads;

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God,
God remains in him, and he in God.

1 John 4:15

My personal view is that, as a Christian we are all called to bare as a witness to who Jesus is, what He taught, and how we should live, at least once in our life time to a total stranger. And hopefully, it becomes fruit!

Following Worldly Ideologies

2 Comments

Our society is literally falling apart due to the saturation of ideologies being forced upon men, women and children. Transgender ideology, same sex marriage, abortion, Climate Change, Illegal Border Crossings, lawlessness, hate, liberalism, socialism, communism are nothing more than beliefs that are corrupt, unjust and unbiblical. And unfortunately many people buy into these corrupt, twisted ideologies which will cost many dearly. Because the Bible teaches;

And by the same word, the present
heavens and earth have been stored up for fire.
They are being kept for the day of judgment,
when ungodly people will be destroyed.
2 Peter 3:5-7

Christians must stand for what the Lord Jesus Christ taught, follow Him and disregard these worldly snares, cause remember;

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for
when you love the world, you do not have the love of
the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving
for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see,
and pride in our achievements and possessions.
These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 
And this world is fading away, along with everything
that people crave. But anyone who does what
pleases God will live forever.

1 John 2:15-17

Jesus Teachings Were Powerful

13 Comments

This evening as I sat down to write I didn’t have a clue as to what I would be writing about, that is, until the Holy Spirit led me to the awareness of just how powerful the teachings Jesus spoke truly were. You see, the people were amazed by His teachings. He spoke with authority and didn’t rely on others to confirm what He spoke. In fact, the scriptures say;

When Jesus had finished with these words, the crowds
were amazed at His teachings; for He was teaching them
as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

Matthew 7:28

But as I read this scripture and stared at more of His teachings it also dawned on me that it wasn’t only how He spoke, but, also what He taught about. Because everything Jesus taught was a reflection of the Kingdom and learning to live righteously before the living GOD. He gave a fresh perspective on God’s Commandments, one which had never been heard before. The famous Sermon on the Mount teaching Jesus spoke on murder, adultery, marriage, swearing oaths, loving your enemies, doing good to please God, Prayer, fasting, laying up treasures in Heaven, serving God or wealth, worrying, and judging others. He also spoke on the importance to ask, seek and knock, the narrow way, warning against false prophets, and one of the most scariest scriptures found in the Bible, I never knew you.

Jesus closed out this sermon, found in Matthew, by telling the people that whoever hears these sayings of His, and does them, He would liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock, in fact Jesus states;

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and
acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on
the rock. And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds
blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall,
for it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears
these words of Mine, and does not act on them, will be like a
foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell
and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against
that house; and it fell-and it’s collapse was great.”

Matthew 7: 24-27

Jesus knew the only way any of us would be a part of the kingdom was for us to understand the need to REPENT from our old ways, to BELIEVE the Good News, to BELIEVE in Him, and to DENY oneself and take up the Cross and FOLLOW Him. It doesn’t matter if one is an atheist, puts their faith in science, politics, or their current lifestyle is non-traditional. What matters is the love Jesus has for us, but, our culture and current generation is living as if GOD doesn’t exist and the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross was for nothing.

And just as in the days of Noah, time is growing short. Jesus is real, He’s the Son of God, He is coming back and those who do not REPENT, BELIEVE in HIM, and FOLLOW His teachings will be shocked as they see Him coming with the clouds. Yes Jesus is love, but when He first came He laid down His life for our sins. But the next time He comes, it’s one of judgment!

Before it’s too late, REPENT of your sins, Believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, turn from your old ways, and seek righteous living. Because, if you choose NOT to listen to Him and put His teachings into practice, your house will fall and how great that fall will be!

What is a Woman?

11 Comments

Transgender ideology is nothing more than a theology that creates confusion, hate, division and an over reach in our government system. I watched the Ketanji Brown Jackson when she was being nominated for Supreme Court Justice and it made me angry. Why? Because this WOMAN has NO business occupying such an important seat since she blatantly refused to define what a woman is.

So, let me define what a woman really is!

A woman is one who can have a baby naturally from her own body or she can be barren. She has two ovaries, a cervix, a uterus and two fallopian tubes not to mention her private area. The transgender ideology would have you believe that if a man “feels” like a woman, than he is a woman, if a woman “feels” like a man, she’s a man. If a child believes he’s is the opposite gender than what he is born, a cat, a dog, or a cartoon character than the parents should do everything within their power to ensure their child receives everything needed for their child’s FICTIONAL character. These ideologies allow anyone to create their own truth, but the fact is, there is only ONE TRUTH, and it comes from GOD ALMIGHTY Himself! The scriptures read;

So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created
him; male and female He created them.

Genesis 1:27

When you read this scripture it’s easy to understand exactly what’s behind the transgender ideology push. It’s simply Spiritual Warfare that goes against God’s TRUTH. Remember what the Apostle Paul stated when he said;

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities,
against the powers of this world’s darkness, and
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm.

Ephesians 6:12

If a person of legal age makes the decision to become transgender, that’s their decision. All the Church can do is try to explain to them that God loves them deeply and God didn’t make a mistake when He created them. And each of us must learn how to deal with the burdens we receive. But ultimately it’s their decision, they can choose to work through it or they can choose to give in to it. Either way, the Church plays an important role for these young people. We need to ensure the Gospel is being shared with them before they make such a life altering decision.

The second option I believe all Christians can do is pray that God will reveal exactly what this transgender ideology really is, who’s behind it and will completely abolish it. Remember, Christians are called to love our enemies as well as each other. We do this by presenting God’s TRUTH in a loving manner. Because personally, I don’t want to see anyone go to hell, and the Bible is very clear, those who go against God, who choose to follow their OWN TRUTH will be thrown into Gehenna.

So it’s crystal clear these spiritual forces are actively taking steps to destroy what a woman is, what a man is and what a child is. These unseen entities are moving the hands of political leaders, leftist, elitist, atheists, church leaders, scientist, health providers, and world leaders globally.

They’re allowing these dark forces to work through them instead of holding sacred GOD’s TRUTH and celebrating what HE so wonderfully created.

Stand on GOD’s Truth

7 Comments

My journey through the scriptures has created such a strong faith in me that I realize as a Christian I must stand on GOD’s TRUTH and NOT the false truth this world is trying to push. As a follower of the Lord Jesus it’s His teachings which every Christian should be standing on. If you are a follower of Christ and believe in God it’s time you stand on the Truth. These Woke ideologies are evil, wicked and go completely against God so I will call them what they are. The Bible is very clear, when the text states;

Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who turn darkness to light
and light to darkness,
who replace bitter with sweet
and sweet with bitter.

Isaiah 5:20

Jesus and His Apostles taught we are to repent of our sin, to turn away from them and live a righteous life. This includes ALL sin, lying, stealing, cheating, adultery, fornication, idolatry or anything you put before GOD. Now understand, I’m NOT judging anyone just speaking GOD’s TRUTH because the scriptures are very transparent, we ALL sin. But we each have a choice to make, to follow GOD and except Jesus as the Son of God, who came in the flesh, was sacrificed for our sins and rose on the third day, OR, to follow the ways of the world.

These woke ideologies are twisting the scriptures to fit their own narrative, or, their own truth. Which means gender ideology is nothing more than a tool used by Satan to destroy. This is no different than 2000 years ago when this very same thing occurred in the idol temples. But I want to be very clear with my message, GOD created man and woman, which means, there are no other genders! GOD also created marriage between a man and woman which means anything else is sinful.

ANYONE who habitually practices sin will NOT enter the Kingdom of GOD! I don’t care if you are a pastor, minister, evangelist or a Christian leader. Facts are facts and will forever remain, there’s no loop holes, no way around this, GOD created the world so He makes the rules and the only way to GOD is through Christ Jesus. But Christ is very clear who will enter the Kingdom, the scriptures reads;

Blessed are those who wash their robes (who do His commandments),
so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city
by its gates. But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral,
the murders, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Revelation 22:14,15

Putting on the New

1 Comment

As I journey through the scriptures I can’t help but notice how much time the Apostle Paul spent instructing the people to strip off their old sinful nature and to clothe themselves in the new. His passion and zealousness for Christ is extremely obvious to anyone who reads the Book of Romans, Galatians, Colossians, Thessalonians are any of the books which He authored. Being the main teacher to the Gentiles, it becomes apparent he wanted to ensure the teachings Christ entrusted to him would actually prepare God’s people. He stressed over and over the importance of ridding ourselves of our old self, in fact, the scriptures I’m referring to reads;

But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious
behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you
have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.
Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know
your Creator and become like Him.

Colossians 3:8-10

The Apostle Paul knew anyone that was found with anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, dirty language, or told lies, including those little white lies, they would never enter God’s Kingdom. So he spent time teaching them how to walk by the Spirit, because, when one walks by the Spirit they do not gratify the desires of the flesh.

How does one know if they’re walking by the Spirit?

We know we’re walking by the Spirit because it produces fruit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness(humility), and self-control. Unfortunately, many have a worldly belief and put their trust in Atheism, Paganism, Muslim, Religion, Science, Politicians, New Age, Meditations, or Entrepreneurship.

But the characteristics of those who are followers of Christ are much more appealing, encouraging and uplifting than those who follow the world, because, worldly fruit produces anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, dirty language, violence, immorality, liars, and murders which is everything we’re witnessing today.

Don’t understand the Gospel or not a believer? Start by reading about God’s Grace, The Gospel of Jesus Christ, learn about the importance of Salvation, and the Biblical Truth of what a Christian really is.

Humanity is Corrupt

6 Comments

For the past few weeks Christians, Muslims, Pagans and Atheist all around the world have all seen the horror that unfolded on October 7th in Israel. While it is absolutely an atrocity to break in, kill children, women, men and the elderly for no other reason than to eradicate the Jewish people, is quite frankly, evil. But that’s the mantra of Hamas.

But it’s not the only thing that is evil, it’s people all around this country, and even the world, who are protesting in a violent manner. Causing more division by screaming, yelling, mocking, hating, creating chaos, becoming physical and acting out. This is NOT what Christians should be following.

As one called to follow Christ it means we should be mourning for the loss of life on both sides, pray for the hostages, and pray that all involved will realize the magnitude of their actions, repent, and turn to God. But most of all we pray for God’s will to be done on earth just as it is in heaven. You see, Christians need to be choosing the side of GOD and not man’s side, and this goes completely against the ways of this world.

But I also learned something very interesting recently which relate to the words of Jesus. These scriptures are found in Matthew 24:37-39, and notice how Jesus describes those days as like the days of Noah. Because we know from the scriptures that God describes the Days of Noah as filled with violence, in fact, the scripture reads;

Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for humanity had corrupted its way upon the earth. Then God said to Noah, The end of humanity has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of people; and behold I am about to destroy them with the earth.

Genesis 6:11-13

What’s really interesting in these scriptures is the word violence, because according to the Hebrew Bible, the word violence is written as hamas. And for further information check out this Wikipedia page which also provides additional information.

As a Christian, I understand this world will become more and more violent, chaotic and wicked as we draw closer to the antichrist and the end of times. So, now more than ever, it’s extremely important to ensure you’re following Christ, His teachings and not the ways of this world! Otherwise, you may just find yourself fighting against GOD!

God Shows Man Judgment

Earlier today this video popped up and I thought I would take a look at it. I admit I was a bit shocked by this young man’s testimony, what he saw and the things he explains. It really got me thinking so I thought I would share it. I believe this video is for all cultures, lifestyles, whether people are believers, atheist, pagan, gnostic, new age, spiritual, are any number of the man made religions floating around in this world. The young man is a little difficult to understand at times, but, overall it’s a very interesting dream…

Sermon on the Mount Message

11 Comments

When Jesus began His ministry He went to the lost sheep of Israel, the Jewish people. And He taught them so differently than any of their past or present teachers that they were astonished. You see the culture accepted many false teachings from the scribes and Pharisees because they had no others to teach them. While they followed the High Priest and others, their lifestyle reflected a hardened heart. But when Jesus appeared and began His ministry His words cut deep.

So what exactly did Jesus teach at the Sermon of the Mount?

Jesus took one of the ten commandments, you shall not murder and expanded on it. He took this law and explained a deeper truth they had never heard. He spoke on the issue of anger and how it can lead to other offenses. Jesus tells us to reconcile ourselves (forgive) to the person and then offer your sacrifice to God.

Another ten commandment Jesus expanded on was, you shall not commit adultery and again explained it to the people in a way they had never heard before. He taught it’s not just the very act of adultery, but, it’s also when a man or woman looks at another with lust in their heart. And of course, He teaches a remedy for lust.

He also taught the Law stated a man could divorce his wife by giving her a certificate of divorce. But Jesus explains this was written because of their hard hearts. Because God had made them male and female from the beginning and when a man leaves his parents home he is to be joined to his wife and the two are united into one. It’s also why Jesus tells His disciples, whoever divorced His wife and married another, he commits adultery against her.

Jesus taught against making vows against heaven cause it’s God’s throne, by earth, it’s His footstool, by Jerusalem, it’s the city of the Great King or even by one’s head since we can’t change it’s color. But simply say yes, or no.

Jesus expanded on the commandment, Love your neighbor and taught we should love our enemies also. To do good to those who persecute us, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To turn the other cheek without exacting our own revenge and to lend to others, if they ask, without expecting anything in return.

He also taught on the right way to do good deeds, taught on Prayer and fasting, the correct way to store up treasures and not to judge others. He taught about the Golden Rule, the Narrow Gate, the Tree and it’s Fruit, True Disciples and building on a solid foundation.

All these things were taught in a way which they had never heard. Which caused many of the people to be convicted in their heart by what they heard, meaning, their hearts was open and receptive to the words of Jesus, but also rendered them guilty over their wrongdoing, their sin.

And it’s this same conviction today which leads one to repent, turn from their ways and turn to the Son of God, Jesus.

How do we turn from our ways, from sin?

First understand, we all sin making all of us sinners, and, there’s a heavy penalty for that sin and it’s death. But there is hope, there is a way out, by believing in the Son of God, Jesus. The Lord Jesus was sent by God to dwell among mankind (in the flesh), who taught we needed to repent of our sin, taught we should live a righteous life and turn back to God. Jesus became our atonement for sin and was sacrificed on a cross for our sins. Then on the third day, Jesus was raised.

Romans 3:10 – As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one.

Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrated His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 10:9,10 – That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth He confesses, resulting in salvation.

God wants us to humble ourselves before Him, to get on our knees and confess every sin, every wrongdoing we can think of. Because nothing is done in secret, He knows all, sees all and hears all and He knows our hearts.

We Are Intelligently Created

9 Comments

We are intricately and intelligently designed, but, unfortunately the Scientific community still pushes the Big Bang Theory, even though they can’t replicate how the universe was created. Of course, as a believer in Christ Jesus I know God Almighty created us in His own image. But to prove this, let’s take a look at the human body and it’s composition.

The Human Body

Skeletal System ~ 206 Bones in the Body
Muscular System ~ 650+ in the Body
Nervous System ~ Over 7 trillion Nerves
Endocrine System
Cardiovascular System ~ 60,000 miles Blood Vessels + Heart
Lymphatic System
Respiratory System
Digestive System ~ 5 ft Lg Intest., 20 ft Small Intest.
Urinary System
Reproductive System
Integumentary System (Hair, Skin, Nails) ~ 22 sq ft Skin,

The Endocrine System – Is a complex network of glands and organs using hormones to control, coordinate your body’s metabolism, it’s energy level, reproduction, growth and development. It also responds to injury, stress, and one’s mood. It includes the Hypothalamus, the Pineal, Pituitary, Thyroid and Parathyroid, Thymus, Adrenal Gland, Pancreas, Ovaries, and Testis.

Lymphatic System – Returns fluid to blood and defends against pathogens. It includes the Thymus, Lymph Nodes, Spleen and Lymphatic Vessels.

Respiratory System – Appears simplicity but is rather complex. It removes carbon dioxide from the body and delivers oxygen to the blood. It includes the Lungs, Trachea, and the nasal passage.

Urinary System – Controls water balance in the body and also removes waste from blood and excretes them. Includes the Kidneys and the Urinary Bladder.

Reproductive System (Female) – It produces sex hormones and gametes (a reproductive cell known as an ova, ovum or egg cell), supports fetus until birth, produces milk for infant. Includes the Ovaries, Uterus, and Mammary Glands.

Reproductive System (Male) – Produces sex hormones and gametes (a reproductive cell known as sperm), delivers gametes to female. Includes the Epididymis, and Testes.

From this breakdown alone one can see just how intelligently designed our bodies truly are. And this doesn’t take into account how each of these systems systematically work together in harmony. But even after presenting this information, many will still continue to deny were wonderfully and intelligently created by our Creator, God Almighty. But to address the issue of the Big Bang Theory think about this for a moment. Scientist claim the Big Bang Theory was the BEGINNING for everything, the universe, plants, animals and humans, the very Start of ALL creation.

But ask yourself, how is it possible for humans and animals to be created when there was NO WAY for them to REPRODUCE. Because from basic biology, or even real life situation, for reproduction to occur it takes the seed from a male and an egg from a female for a new life to be created. Plus, there must be a cervix for fertility, a menstrual cycle and a uterus for a baby to grow. Which proves mankind has an intelligent Creator and we didn’t come from random fragments exploding into space.

People, don’t be fooled, mankind has a Creator, but, He wasn’t just the Creator, He’s a Designer, a Architect, a Scientist, a Mathematician, a Physicist, an Astronomer, a Healer and so many other titles which I can’t begin to process.

This also reinforces the Bible’s teachings that male and female were created in God’s image. Marriage is sacred held between a man and woman and it dismisses the notion that a man can get pregnant or there’s more than two genres. Don’t get drawn into these ideologies where a woman or man can’t be defined because they are completely baseless, self-centered and unbiblical.

Living Worldly

41 Comments

My journey through the scriptures has made me realize just how worldly and imperfect mankind really is. While some Christians may not recognize it or feel there’s anything wrong with just living their life (aka being worldly), I’ve been given a different perspective by the Spirit and God’s Word, the Bible.

What exactly does walking worldly mean?

It means living a life that is devoted to a materialistic, carnal mindset and putting God on the back burner. Unfortunately today there are Christians who continue to live this lifestyle, but, what does the Bible say?

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but
those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set
the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

Romans 8:5,6

While the Apostle Paul in these scriptures are speaking directly to believers, they also apply to those who are atheist, pagan, wiccan, agnostic, are any non-believer. But let’s take a closer look so we can gain a little more insight into what the Apostle Paul is referring to. In Galatians he breaks it down further when he states;

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual
immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy,
outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties,
and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that
sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21

As a Christian if you find yourself somewhere in this list, please repent, ask forgiveness and get yourself back on track. Because the Apostle Paul tells us, believers, that we should be walking by the Spirit. But how can we be sure we’re walking by the Spirit? We know we’re walking by the Spirit when our actions, thoughts, our mindset, our character reflect the fruit of the Spirit, which the Apostle Paul says is;

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22,23

As a Christian having a worldly mindset and lifestyle just isn’t worth it. We’ve been renewed, given a new Spirit and we are to set our minds on the things above and not on earthly things. Are did you forget, when the Apostle Paul says;

Those who belong to Christ Jesus has nailed the passions and
desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there.

Galatians 5:24

My journey through the scriptures have literally transformed the way I live, the way I believe and the way in which I see the world around me. Because, the way I previously lived was in direct opposition to what Christ Jesus taught. At the very beginning of Jesus ministry He preached;

From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”

Matthew 4:17

This is the very same message He gave to His twelve disciples when He sent them out and it’s still the message today. Unless one repents of their sin and believes in Christ Jesus, as the Son of God and accepting He is the ONLY one that can save, life will not be worth living.

In other words, you need to grieve over every wrongdoing that goes against God. Every lie you told, every dollar, piece of candy, office supply, merchandise or money you stole, every sexual encounter you had outside of marriage, every adulterous affair, every word of profanity, crude jokes, indecent behavior, every time you laughed at another’s pain, every angry word spoken, every time you got drunk, took drugs or put work over family or friends, and every time you longed for riches, fame or power. Because God wants us to turn away from living this type of lifestyle that the world so readily embraces. He wants us to renew our minds, to change how we’ve been living in this world and free ourselves from these dark temptations. The Apostle Paul tells us;

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear;
sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling,
jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, division, envy, drunkenness,
wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that
anyone living that sort of life will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21 (NLT)

Please understand, I’m not judging any of you, because, I too once lived this same lifestyle. I failed to understand that everything in this world is temporary, but, after realizing the difficulties ahead, war on the home front, food shortage, water scarcity, dying off of animals, insects, plant life, and of course money becoming worthless, I knew I needed to make a change. And through God’s amazing grace and His great love for me, I have been saved.

But the real question is, what type of lifestyle are you living? Because if you find yourself listed somewhere in these worldly desires the Apostle Paul spoke of, and you’re a believer, I suggest falling on your knees and humbly repenting because your very salvation is at risk.

If you’re an atheist, agnostic, pagan, wiccan, practice spirituality such as Meditation, Buddhism or follow any number of the worldly, false religions, just know Jesus was very clear when He stated;

“But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice
witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars-their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
This is the second death.”

Revelation 21:8

Since God is Holy and sin cannot stand before Him it would mean we could not have a relationship with Him. But because of God’s amazing love for us, He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, into this world so we wouldn’t perish but have everlasting life.

So when you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who came in the flesh, was born of a virgin, sacrificed on the cross for the sins of the world and raised on the third day, you will be saved. Of course, from personal experience, there will be lots of tears but a peace and joy this world can NEVER give you!

The Brokenhearted

The Lord is near to the
brokenhearted and saves those
who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18

The past couple of years has really been tough for many people. Pandemics, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, job loss, business closures, hyperinflation, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, train derailments, warehouse explosions, animal deaths, not to mention all the political chaos. So, it’s no surprise many are feeling overwhelmed, fearful and hopeless. While many people turned to meditation, some turned to science, some to climate change, some to recreational drugs and others to religion. Still, those who read God’s Word have a different understanding. Because as a believer my hope is in the Lord Christ Jesus, but, for those who don’t know Him, believe in Him, or have strayed from the faith, their life is filled with these worldly entrapments. But it’s during these difficult times, when they’re at their lowest, when they lack hope, when they’re frightened, scared and feel no one cares, they can cry out to Jesus and He will draw near. By allowing remorse and sorrow to overflow from their heart Jesus can mold and shape them into exactly what God created them to be, His beloved children.

My Prayer
Lord God Almighty, I thank you for showing me the truth of your word. For giving me the ability to let others know that our Lord Jesus is loving, caring, gentle and patient. That He gives us peace in a world full of chaos when others have lost all hope. It’s through His love that I reach out to those who are lost, because, I know during these difficult times that He replaces that fear with an inner peace, anxiety with calmness, and provides strength to those who are weak. I pray for those who don’t know the Lord Jesus that they cry out to Him so He can renew their hearts, their minds and mold them into what you what them to be. All these things I pray in the Lord Jesus precious name, Amen.
