Put Light On It

Some people distort the idea of being positive by being living a lie, medicating through drugs and alcohol, living in denial or speaking straight up lies. This is not being positive it is ignoring issues that later grow into either suicide or a perpetual state of deep depression.  Being positive doesn’t feed the poor, or put clothes on the needy or give shelter to those without money. Speaking positively or hearing a thousand prosperity messages does not make you prosperous. Living in the truth of God’s word makes you prosperous. Understanding God’s real plan for the life of a Christian as defined within the pages of Scripture.

How do you measure your success? How do you measure beauty? Does your standard fit God’s word or the world’s view? Are you a Christian parent and use money as the litmus test for your children’s success or their relationship with Jesus. Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him (James 2:5)? Do you run from bad news or do you become the peacemaker? Are you salt and light? The only way to be salt and light is to be in a situation that is without it.

Does the subject of racism bother you? What is your response? Ignore it or do you put light on it. Only thing that is brought to the light can be discovered and cleansed. The dentist puts a light on your teeth, so that he can fix them. Your teeth live in darkness mostly and all kinds of things happen, but the only way a cavity is fixed is by putting light on it.

Christians must put a light on it. Show people another way. Don’t run from bad news. Run toward it. We are the salt of the earth, but if our flavor has been removed, we have become good for nothing. Time wasters that God will most certainly cast to hell. God does not suggest that we bear good fruit. It is a command. Go and put light on the darkness.

 

Christians Have Their Work Cut Out

The climate in America is becoming more and more hostile to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The criminals of sexual abuse, sexual assault, child abuse, human trafficking and sex trafficking are running the show. We know this, by the Harvey Weisteins and countless female school teachers, and priest who get slaps on the wrist with no jail time. We know this because our television screen is filled with devilish sex and our homes are becoming infiltrated with paedophiles, transgenders revealing their genitals to children in school and nothing is being done about it.

The Lord showed us what things must come to past before the end comes. He shows us a world filled with hate. The love of many growing cold and mother’s losing their natural affection for their children. Today, we see more single male parents and female cheaters than ever before. We see mothers abandoning their responsibility as parents to please themselves and live ungodly lives that are detrimental to good order and discipline.

The increase in blended families is a response to the family break down all over America. Feminism has not helped women, but harmed them. We have more females committing suicide and strung out on drugs, then in the past. More females committing murder and sexual crimes. Although the church is well financed the Christian message at large is one of acceptance, cowardice, and fear.

Christians have their work cut out. I don’t believe our current trajectory can be changed. One million moms and similar organizations are trying, but the wolf is too strong. It is time for Christians to starve so-called Christian organizations that do not preach against sin. The Joel Osteen churches are harming Christianity. The white evangelical church gave the world a damaging argument with their demonization of interracial marriage.

Now people think the Christian stance has changed on interracial marriage, but refuses to move, although some have on same-sex marriage. Christianity has always been for interracial marriage, the demonically filled racist teachers have deceived people who fail to read the Bible for themselves.

Christians have their work cut out for them. If you are going to raise Christian children who adhere to the doctrines of Christ, you must be diligent and deliberate. There is no such thing as osmosis in Christianity. Children must be trained in righteousness. They must be consistently told the things of God. Why do you think the world is so consistent with their demonic message? Because their message is fragile.

Only a fool thinks two men and two women is better then a man and a woman. Only a fool thinks abortion is ok. Only fools believe all these things came together by osmosis. There is a reason why the Bible calls unbelievers fools. They cannot see even in the midst of a miracle.

Remember this story:

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime received good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. – Luke 16:19:31

 

 

Future Minded Christians

It is recorded in the pages of Scripture that “a good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children (Proverbs 13:22). A good man sees into the future and plans out his heritage. A good man has a vision for the present and a vision for the future. A good man does not think about himself or herself alone, they think about their children. They think about the position that they want to leave them in before their life is over. A good man leaves an inheritance.

A selfish person, an ignorant person, an evil man leaves nothing. The plans of the diligent bring plenty, as surely as haste leads to poverty (Proverbs 21:5).  The slacker craves, yet gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is fully satisfied (Proverbs 13:4). It is extremely important for the Christian to consider their choices in light of the present and in light of their own demise. Your vision should not end, when you do. Look at Elisha, whose last miracle was accomplished after he perished.

“And Elisha died and was buried. Now the Moabite raiders used to come into the land every spring. Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. And when he touched the bones of Elisha, the man was revived and stood up on his feet.” – 2 Kings 13:20-21

Your vision, your heritage, should outlive you. You should be accomplishing things after you have already died.

Texas newspaper yanks endorsement of ex-judge after he admits his kids must marry ‘white Christians’ to get trust funds

A Texas judge running for Dallas County commissioner has admitted that he set up a living trust with a clause that rewards his children for marrying another christian white person, the Dallas Morning Newsreports.

“I strongly support traditional family values,” Cunningham said. “If you marry a person that is of the opposite sex, that’s Caucasian, that’s Christian, they will get a distribution.”

The idea that Christianity is based on race is unbiblical. The only admonition given within the Bible is marrying someone of the opposite sex and Christian. What this man speaks of is a false Christianity. Know the difference between those who know Jesus and those who do not.

This is the same teaching the KKK churches promoted and it is also the reason the white protestant church in America is dying. So many cannot let go of their whiteness for Christ.

Do You Have A Jesus Pop-Out?

What does a Jesus pop-out look like? What does it mean? Do you pop Jesus out whenever you need him and pop him back when you are finished. Today, we see many people asking for prayer in their nearest storm, but soon as the coast is clear, they resume with swearing, getting drunk and doing things that they ought not to. They have no desire or hunger for the things of God. In a nutshell, they are displaying the fruits of the flesh and not the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5).

This is a stench in His nose because they are just paying lip service but their lives are consistently contrary to Gods word. So the question is, is Jesus your whole life or do you pop Jesus out like a lucky charm?  Is your ‘commitment’ to Christ limited to just an ackowledgemnt that he exists and that he supplies for you or have you totally surrendered your life to him and desire what he desires and hates what he hates which is sin.

I know of Scarlett Johansson, but I bet if you asked her if she knew me, the answer would be no. In the same way, many people know and even acknowledge Jesus, believe that he died on the cross and rose on the third day but MANY of those very same people will hear Jesus say ‘ I never knew you’ when they stand before him to give an account (Matthew 7:23) because they continued to work iniquity.

So how do you know that you will not be amongst that number. The bible makes it clear. Examine yourself to see if you are in the faith.
