FREE KNOWLEDGE

   The Bible is a strange book for people who have never read it.
   The Bible is a strange book for people who trust in religion instead of trusting in God.
   The Bible is from the mind of God that we may know Him.
   God wants us to know the truth, and God also wants us to know Him.
   In the Bible, God tells us about things past, things present, and things future because He wants us to know.
   If you give your word to somebody, then you are saying that that person can believe that you are telling the truth; and if the person believes in you, then he will also believe in your word.
   Likewise, the Bible is God's Word to us.
   Therefore, by trusting in God, we can also trust in the Bible; and by trusting in the Bible, we can also trust in God because the Bible is God's Word on every matter under heaven.
   God wants us to be informed.  He wants us to know the things He has done, the things He is doing, and the things He will do in the future.  Therefore, we can trust in the Bible for truth and not be surprised at the events that are happening in this world. 
   By studying the Bible, you can become one of the most educated people on earth because you are being taught by God, who created you. 
  You, therefore, are important to God!  For God was thinking about you before you were born!
  And if you will continually study the Bible, God will reveal more and more truth to your mind. 
  The Bible is 100% truth from the mind of God, which is free knowledge to us from God.
  There is therefore now no other book under heaven given unto us that is like, or equal to, the Bible.

EMMANUEL

      Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  (Matthew 1: 23)

      Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God:  for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.  (John 3: 2)

      Whom do men say that I am?  (Mark 8: 27)

      What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?  They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.  (Matthew 27: 22)

      And there was a cloud that overshadowed them:  and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son:  hear him.

      Why seek ye the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen:  remember how he spake unto you when he was in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.  (Luke 24:  5-7)

      Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?  This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.  (Acts 1: 11)

   If we, therefore, believe in the virgin birth of Christ, and if we believe in His life, His death, His resurrection, and His ascension to heaven, we can also believe by the same faith that Christ will return, and that Emmanuel, which is "God with us" will be with us again, and we shall see Him with our eyes:  for He, who is now invisible, will become visible. 

      Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  (Hebrews 11: 1)

HOUSES OF CORRUPTION

      But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
      In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  (II Corinthians 4: 3, 4)

   Satan is the god of this world and the lord over its many systems; therefore, Satan is the god that is over the governments of this world as well as the god that is over the religions of the world.
   If this were not true, why have the governments of this world been filled with corruption ever since the day when governments were invented?  And why have the religions of this world been filled with corruption ever since the day religions were invented? 
   If there has ever been an uncorrupted government in human history, name one?
   If there has ever been an uncorrupted religion in human history, name one?
   Governments and religions are houses of corruption, and Satan is the god that is the lord over these two institutions, and he always has been, just as he always will be.
   Governments and religions were against Christ in Jerusalem, and the evidence is when King Herod attempted to assassinate Jesus when the Lord was merely a toddler of two years of age; and when Christ was a young man of thirty-three years, governments and religions captured Him and crucified Him in Jerusalem.
   After that, governments and religions made war with the believers of Christ and murdered millions of innocent people for hundreds of years, all across the Roman Empire. 
   Even today, where do you see the love of God demonstrated throughout the houses of governments and the houses of religions?  Nowhere!
   Neither do we see the leaders of governments, nor the leaders of religions, standing up for God, nor speaking a word for Christ because governments speak for governments and religions speak for religions.
   Satan is, therefore, the god of this world, and the devil has blinded people from the truth of Christ by the power of Satan's deception. 
   Even now, it is difficult to see any evidence of Christ in this world other than during the seasons of Christmas and Easter, which, even then, is no more than a sprinkling; for after those seasons of good cheer and merriment, the world is back to its normal business as usual, and Christ becomes a forgotten topic.
   Therefore, corruption in governments and religions continue to run as an unbridled horse runs wild in the wind, or as a train that is out of control because it has no conductor. 
   It would be wonderful to think that the world is going to become a better place to live, a world that is full of love and peace, but it will not. 
   Governments and religions are houses of corruption because they are houses of wicked people.
      There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.  (Isaiah 48: 22)

A LOVE SONG

   Religion captivates the minds of people and holds them prisoners all the days of their lives. 
   In religion, there is nothing new:
      that which was said yesterday
         is said today,
      and that which is said today
         will be said tomorrow. 
   The menu never changes from generation to generation.
   The gods and goddesses of religion can do nothing for people, for they are dead.  A statue is a statue, an image is an image, and a rock is still a rock.
   Adults in religion are the same as little children, and the adults of religion teach their children to be like them.
   For the religion of adults can do no more for them than it did for them when they were children; and their religion will do no more for their children than it is does for them.  The menu never changes from generation to generation.
   What is there to live for and what is there to gain?
   People of religion are taught to believe lies and then they will live those lies as if they are truth.
   People of religion are not to think for themselves, for they have submitted themselves to their religious ministers and priests who do their thinking for them.
   People of religion are taught to obey, not to think.  And thus religious adults remain the same as obedient children to the fathers of their religion all the days of their lives.
   A religion today is the same as it was on the day that it was created by men, and the menu never changes from generation to generation. 
   When Christ came from heaven to earth, He brought the love of God with Him, and then He deposited His love in the hearts of the people who believed in Him.  The love of God has therefore been present upon the earth for more than two thousand years, in the hearts of people who have come to trust in Him, over the course of this length of time.  This love is available now to people who will trust in Him. 
   The love of God is new to people, it is exciting, and it is refreshing.  And because of this love of God, the Lord has something new and refreshing for us every day that we live.  This love is not because of us and the things we do, but rather it is because of Him and because of what He does; for without Him, we would not have the love of God. 
   Neither would we have the knowledge of God, which is available to us through Christ the Lord.
   For more information, go to www.bible.com and read the Word of God.
   The Word of God is the Lord's love song to us.  Read it, then sing about it.  And the Lord will be thrilled to hear your voice!

A GENERIC GOD

   Is it possible that many people believe in a generic god, a god who is the god of all religions?
   Is this the reason why many people believe there are many ways to get to heaven?  That all people must do to ensure that their path to heaven is prepared for them is to join a religion, which pleases their generic god?  That all they are required to do is participate in the rites and rituals as well as accept the dogmas and doctrines of any religion?
   Furthermore, is it also possible that this generic god has the power to forgive all the sins of all the people in the world regardless of their religious preference?
   This generic god, however, has many faces as well as many names:  one name for each religion.
   This generic god can also be either a male or a female as well as be many gods and many goddesses.
   If so, then it is it also possible that each nation, or ethnic group, can have its own religion with its own generic god, gods, and goddesses?
   People with a generic god do not believe in creation, but rather they choose to subscribe to the theory of evolution, or to the big bang theory:  that the earth and all of the universe are no more than an accidental event from out of nowhere, or from out of nothing.
   People with a generic god will accept Christianity as a religion, but they will not accept Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. 
   Even for some people, as members of a Christian church as a religion, do not believe in creation by Almighty God!  For they, too, subscribe to the ideas of evolutionary theory or big bang theory.
   Moreover, for members of a Christian church as a religion, do they treat the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as no more than gods of their own imaginations?
   Are people blinded to the truth by the visibility of the earth in front of their eyes?
   Do people honestly believe that something can come from nothing?
   But by believing in a generic god, does this give people the license to do anything they choose to do because their god will forgive all of their behaviors?
   God forbid!
   How, then, have people become so blind?
   People have been deceived by man's own creations of religions and false churches; for the ministers and priests of religions and false churches only teach what they want people to know, which is not the truth from Almighty God. 
   Religions and false churches are tricks, and they are traps.  They are designed and engineered as snares to capture people.  The ministers and priests are tricksters, feeding people lies.  They drop bread crumbs and people follow the bread crumbs into the traps:  the same way rats and mice follow bits of cheese.
   If people believe in a generic god, then religions and false churches are interchangeable; and they are, in fact, the same as one but only operating with independent names.  For if they all share the same generic god, then they are all the same, and they are all on the same team.
   There is something that is common among religions and false churches, and that is the denial of the Lord Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. 
   As it is written in the Word of God,
      For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
      Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.  (I Timothy 2: 5-6)

WHEN CHRIST KNOCKS

   There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
   The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God:  for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
   Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  (John 3: 1-3)

   The born again experience of the believer in Jesus Christ can be described as a miracle, and perhaps it even sounds like a mystery; for it is truly difficult to explain as it is also difficult for a non-believer to believe as truth.
   To another believer, your born again experience is like music to their souls, for they will rejoice in your conversion to Christ.  They understand it.  And they witness with your testimony.
   To a non-believer, however, all they can do is sit and stare in unbelief as you tell your story about how you met Christ for the first time.  They do not understand it, for they are not saved; for if they were saved, they would rejoice in your rejoicing.  They would be thrilled in your conversion.  Instead, they wag their heads in unbelief.
   For if people say they know the Lord, why do they reject the Word of God, which is the Holy Bible?  And why do they reject the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ?  For if they knew Him, they would be looking for His return with great anticipation in their hearts.  But they do not.
   When Santa Claus is coming to town, people get happy and make preparations for his arrival.  They decorate their homes and towns and sing songs about Santa Claus.
   When the Easter Bunny comes hopping down the bunny trail, people get happy and make preparations for his arrival.  They decorate their homes and towns and sing songs about the Easter Bunny.
   But to hear that Jesus is coming back to earth, unsaved people wag their heads in unbelief, and they have no plans or preparations for His arrival.  For how can they believe in His resurrection and not believe in His second coming?
   And when unsaved people hear about the born again experience of believers, they have something to laugh about while they mock the people who believe in Christ.
   Knowing Christ is the greatest event in the lives of people; and only a few people ever experience this greatest event on the face of the earth.
   When Christ knocks, answer the door. 
   How, then, will you know that it is Christ knocking at your door? 
   You will know that you know and that is all you need to know. 
   You will know Him because of His revelation to you:  one on one, and face to face.
   So then, what happened in the life of Nicodemus?  Even though he was trained as a Jewish priest, he became a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ and he helped to bury the body of Jesus when the Lord was crucified. 
  

GOD KNOWS

   God is the source of all knowledge, for there is nothing known that God does not know.
   The universe is a creation from the mind of God, and if He chooses, He can do it again!
   Nothing escapes the attention of God, and His memory lasts forever.
   God knows everything that every human has done in his or her lifetime; therefore, God knows more about you than you know about yourself. 
   God knows every deed that every human has ever done:  those things done in light as well as those things done in darkness.
   God knows the minds of all the people in secret societies, and He knows all the secret plans they hatch in secret places.
   God is in control of every raindrop that falls upon the earth.  God is also in control of every storm, every hurricane, typhoon, flood, and earthquake.
   God knows every tree than has grown upon the earth, and He knows every leaf that has ever fallen to the ground.
   God knows about every living creature upon the earth, and He also knows the deaths of every creature.
   God knows every thought that you have ever had, every step you have taken, and every choice you have made in your lifetime; for when God created the universe, you were on His mind.  And therefore He knew the exact time when you would be born of a woman.
   Consequently, there is no place where you can hide from God. 
   God is love, and He created us to love us, and that we, by turning to His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, we will also love Him.
   God is not out to get us; for His intention is to save us. 
   Without God, we are as orphans; for even orphans, at certain ages, will seek to find their biological fathers.  And if we do not see God as our heavenly Father, then we will claim to belong to the devil.
   When faced with the decision to acknowledge Christ, or to reject Him, God knows the choice you will make.
   But do you?
   Without God, there is no love; for God is love.
   So then, what is the depth, width, and length of the knowledge of Christ?
      And there are many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.  Amen.  (John 21: 25)

KNOWLEDGE

   Knowing God is the only purpose we are living on the face of the earth. 
   If we refuse to know God through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, there is no reason for God to keep us alive. 
   God keeps us alive, however, because He loves us and because He is gracious, thus giving us time to know Him through His only begotten Son.  And when our time is over, we will die.
   The knowledge I have gained to play golf is the knowledge I have learned from the knowledge of ace golfers.  And the reason beginning golfers can remain beginning golfers all the years of their golfing experience is because of their lack of the knowledge of golf.  Thus they remain hitters of golf balls instead of becoming golfers.  Their game is like a car engine running, but the transmission is stuck in neutral.  They keep swinging, but there is no improvement in their swing because of their lack of the knowledge of golf.
   Deception is an invisible wall to the untrained eye, and beginning golfers are deceived by their lack of knowledge, and they do not know their mistakes because of their lack of knowledge; neither do they know what they could do to improve.
   Likewise, the knowledge I have learned about God is the knowledge I have gained from the knowledge of other believers as well as from the knowledge of God's Word, which is the Holy Bible. 
   Deception is also an invisible wall to the untrained eye of unbelievers because they lack the knowledge of God. 
   God wants us to know Him and to love Him as He knows and loves us.  He created us and we are therefore His children.  But if we refuse to know Him, then we have chosen to believe in another god:  a make-believe god from the fantasy world human imagination.
   For if we say we believe in God, then our behavior will be a reflection of God, our heavenly Father; but if our behavior does not reflect the characteristics of God, then our behavior will reflect the characteristics of another god.
   Likewise, if we gain the knowledge of golf, our behavior will reflect the characteristics of a golfer; but if we refuse the knowledge of golf, our behavior will reflect a hitter of golf balls.
   Knowledge is easy to learn if we are willing to become humble and become students.  But if we are proud and puffed up in our own conceit, we will never become golfers and we will never come to accept God as our heavenly Father.  Thus the knowledge of golf, nor the knowledge of God, will never be present in our minds. 
      Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
      In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
      Be not wise in thine own eyes:  fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
      It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.  (Proverbs 3: 8)

   By the way, you can pray to God about your golf game and He will help you if you will ask; for God has the knowledge of everything in the universe.

IMAGES

   Is it possible that Jesus has been created as an image in the imaginations of many people, so that the Lord has no more value to them than the images of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny?  After all, who gets the most attention at Christmas and at Easter?
   Please do no underestimate the power of human imagination!
   To some degree, Christmas and Easter are the most humanistic times of the year; for the focus of these seasons are not on Christ, but rather on people---and on the imaginary characters, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
   The focus is also on parties, vacations, eating and drinking, having fun, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. 
   The focus is on decorating green trees, manger scenes, hanging Christmas lights, and Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, and getting new clothes for Easter church services. 
   The focus of Christmas is on giving and receiving presents; and the greater the giving of presents, the greater the love.
   For retail stores, Christmas and Easter represent money, and in stores is the presence of Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
   At Christmas and Easter, Jesus has been reduced and even erased from the minds of many people, in the United States and in other nations throughout the world:  as if Jesus is simply an image in their imaginations.
   Therefore, when we arrive at the Biblical teaching of the return to Christ to the earth, how many people view this as a religious myth, or as a Biblical fairytale?  People see this as unreal because they do not believe that His birth, nor His resurrection, ever happened in real life.
   In truth, the return of Christ to the earth is written from the same Bible that tells the story of His birth and His resurrection.  Thus, people look forward to the festival seasons of Christmas and Easter, but they do not look forward to the return of Christ because they do not believe it.
   What, then, does this tell us about the hearts of people?
    It tells us that many people have accepted Christ as an image in their imaginations, but not in their hearts; therefore Christ, to them, is not a real person.  For they get excited about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, but they have no thrill about the Lord. 
   Which means that the real Jesus is hidden from the minds of people at Christmas and at Easter because of the power of deception, working in the power of human imagination.
   Which also means that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are replacement gods from the world of human mythology.

FIRE ESCAPES

   Many people believe in a world that is within their imaginations, and they do not like it when people tell them that their imaginary world is not real.
   All religions on the face of the earth are out of the imaginations of people.
   All false churches on the face of the earth are out of the imaginations of people.
   All gods and goddesses in all religions on the face of the earth are out of the imaginations of people.
   Santa Claus the Easter Bunny are out of the imaginations of people, and many people have more faith in Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny than they have in Christ the Lord:  while Christmas and Easter are supposed to be about the Lord.  Thus, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were created out of the imaginations of people and these imagined characters serve as replacement gods for Christ; for they get the attention at Christmas and Easter, and not the Lord.
   Moreover, the season of Christmas gets the attention of the world instead of the birth of the Son of God; and the season of Easter gets the attention of the world instead of the resurrection of Christ.
   Is this an accident?  Of course not!  For the people against Christ work in deceitful ways to draw the attention of people away from Christ instead of toward Him.
   People who live within a world that is within their imaginations do not want to hear that their world is not real; therefore, they do not want to know the truth.  Instead, they want to continue to believe in the world that is within their imaginations.  For the truth would burst their bubble and they do not want their bubble to be ruptured.
   Heaven, too, can be created in the imaginations of people with imaginary ways in which to get there.  Such ways are easy to believe, which people easily accept, for they would rather go to heaven in their imaginary way instead of having to face Almighty God with their sins.  And so religions and false churches provide people with fire escape exits:  or so they think.  For such fire escapes are false because they, too, are created out of the imaginations of people.
   The imaginations of others can prevent people from thinking for themselves, and religions and false churches do not want people to think for themselves. 
   In conclusion, here is a word of truth:
   Whenever people hear the name of Jesus, they will never be able to erase His name from their minds; for there is something about the name of Jesus that God does not want people to forget.
   Neither is there salvation in any other:
      for there is none other name
   under heaven
      given among men
   whereby we must be saved.  (Acts 4: 12)

STANDING ALONE

   If you want people to like you and to have the abundance of friends,
      1) never speak your mind;
      2) never speak the truth.
   Do this, and people will like you.  You will be their best buddy, their best pal.
   Flatter them.  Brag on their latest hair styles, their new dresses and suits, their fancy cars, and their beautiful children and grand-children.
   Tell them they are your best friend ever, and without them, you would have no one to play ball with.
   Go with them to their parties, laugh at their jokes, and listen intently as they brag on themselves.
   Never interrupt them; never disagree with them.
   In time, you will become:  just like them.
   You will like the things they like.  You will dislike the things they dislike.  Their tastes will become your tastes.  You will dress as they dress, walk as they walk, and think as they think.
   In time, you will become submissive to them, they will become your authority, and you will become their servant:  for their ways are now your ways.
   For now, you have been cloned.  You are no longer an individual because you can no longer think for yourself.  Your decisions and choices must meet the standards of others.  If you disagree with the group, you will become an outcast:  and they will no longer like you.  They will give you the "cold shoulder".  They will not answer your telephone call because they are "busy".  Invitations to their parties and gatherings will cease to come to you.
   Jesus knows how you feel.  He understands your feelings of rejection.  Not to be liked can hurt and be painful. 
      He came unto his own, and his own received him not. (John 1: 11)
      He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:  and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.  (Isaiah 53: 3)
   For even on the day when Christ was crucified, all of his friends fled from Him, and He stood alone as the voice of truth. 
   If you speak your mind and speak the truth, you will find yourself standing alone.  Many of your friends will flee from you. 
   But if you stand up for Christ, you will not be standing alone.

THE HANDS OF GOD

   The people of secret societies worship a god in secrecy, and this god is not Almighty God, Creator of the universe.
   Likewise, the leaders of false churches worship a god in secrecy, and this god is not Almighty God, Creator of the universe.
   Moreover, the leaders of secret societies created false churches and installed the priests of the god they worship in secrecy
   Such people as these are hypocrites and vipers, pretending to be ministers of God, but in their minds and hearts, they are the ministers of the god they worship in secrecy.
   Such are the children of the devil, for they are not the children of Almighty God; for if they were ministers of Almighty God, they would not be the ministers of false churches.
   There is a fine line between good and evil, and there is also a fine line between truth and lies.
   The people of secret societies and the leaders of false churches are masters of evil and masters of lies, but they are truly good at what they do!
   By studying the Word of God, you will know the truth; and by knowing the truth of God, you will be able to distinguish the difference between good and evil as well as the difference between truth and lies. 
   When they speak, look at their faces!  Look at their lack of heart.  Look at the absence of true emotions.  They are not happy about serving the god they worship in secrecy.  Their behavior is robotic.  They follow a script:  A, B, C; 1, 2, 3.  A, B, C; 1, 2, 3.  And look at the absence of tears, for tears is evidence of humility.
   Everything they do is in a precise order.  They follow a plan and a program that never changes.  Their program is to program the minds of their congregations and to keep them as toddlers, or, as robots---just like themselves.  Remember, the people of their congregations are their prisoners:  they are captured souls for Satan!  And the people believe they cannot escape, for if they escape, they will be punished by the masters of their souls, their priests.  They fear their priests because they believe their priests are gods, and therefore they believe their priests hold the keys to heaven or to hell; or that their future is in the hands of men instead of in the hands of God.
   As it is written,
      Study
         to show thyself approved unto God,
         a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
         rightly dividing the word of truth.  (2 Timothy 2:15)

TOMBSTONES

   You are going to die.
   How do you want to be remembered?
   What would you like to be forgotten?
   What words do you want etched on your tombstone?
   At death, your authority ends:  and so do your choices for your life beyond the grave.
   What do you suppose you will think about after you die, and what do you suppose you will remember the most?
   And what about the people you will leave behind, your family and your friends?  You will not be able to speak to them after you die, but what do you suppose you would say to them if you could?  What message would you want to be sent to them?
      It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.  (Hebrews 10: 31)
   For you see, God's memory lasts forever. 
   But God has the power to forget certain things:
      Know the Lord:  for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10: 11-12)
   And again, But the very hairs of your head are numbered.  Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.  Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess before my Father which is in heaven.  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.  (Matthew 10: 30-33)
  Therefore know Christ and Him shall you see at death!
   Knowing this, the only words you need on your tombstone are these:
      That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection. (Philippians 3: 10)
     
     
     

HIS EXCELLENCY, CHRIST THE LORD

   GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
   Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
   Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
   Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
   For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?  And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
   And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
   And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
   But unto the Son, he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.
   Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.  (Hebrews 1: 1-9)

THE HOLY TRINITY

   The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
   These three are one, and they are inseparable.
   To believe in one is to believe in all three;
   but to deny one is to deny all three.
   Christ is the Son of God, and He is one with the Father:  as He is also one with the Holy Spirit; for these three are one, and they are inseparable.
   Therefore, to know both the knowledge of God and the love of God is to know Christ:  without whom it is impossible to know both the knowledge of God and the love of God.
   Our minds, however, have been conditioned to believe that God is religion and that religion is God:  as if these two are one.  But they are not.  For God is not in religion and religion is not in God.
   Our minds have also been conditioned to believe that to know God is to know religion, and that in knowing religion we can know God.  But this not true. 
   For religion is all about man and man's thinking of the way man wants things to be:  and not according to the way that God wants things to be. 
  Because man likes the way man thinks, man is pleased with his invention of religion.
  Religion is a stumbling block to knowing God:  a place to hide from the face of God, and man likes that. 
  Millions and millions of people have been converted to man's way of thinking by embracing man's invention of religion.  And in religion, people have their backs against the wall as they face the east and worship the rising sun, the god of religion.
   God revealed this truth to Ezekiel the prophet when Jerusalem was under the power of an evil kingdom:
      Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S  house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
      Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man?  turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
      And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.  (Ezekiel 8: 14-16)
   Man brought his evil religion to the temple of God to worship the god of the sun!  For the son of god, in paganism, is the son god of the god of the sun.
   Thus the minds of people in false churches are contaminated with the son god of the sun god while being led to believe that Christ is in their unholy place!
   The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
   These three are one and they are inseparable.
   And the Holy Trinity cannot be contaminated with man's evil religion with man's evil dogmas and doctrines.
    The Holy Trinity is holy, and people should be careful in the words they speak about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit:
      Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men:  but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him:  but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.  (Matthew 12: 31-32)
     

COMFORT STATIONS

   All across the earth,
      people have built religions
         and false churches
     as Comfort Stations,
        or as places to hide
     from the face of God---
   while believing
       that all is safe and secure
         from within their temples of doom.

   But Christ is not there:  He is risen!
   "Why seek ye the living among the dead?"

Luke 24: 5

 

JEZEBEL

   It is a pitiful sight to watch a man living under the control and domination of his wife.
   He is like a little boy, trotting along behind mommy and attending to her every need; for his purpose is to serve her. 
   He is also like a puppy dog on a leash:  what she says to do, he does; where she says to go, he goes; and when she is ready to go home, he takes her home.
   In her presence, he rarely speaks: for she is the voice of authority; and unless he has been given permission to speak, he will only speak while making sure that his words will meet her approval.  Most of the time, however, he sits or stands in silence, for he knows she is the queen.
   Before she makes public appearances, she is always appropriately dressed for all occasions:  the right clothes, the right shoes, the right earrings and makeup.  She wants everyone to know that she is in their presence, and not her husband. 
   At home and in all of their life together, she sees herself as the queen of everything while her husband is the king of nothing. 
   Her husband fears her, and so do their children; for at home, she is not only the woman of the house, she is also the man of the house.  She knows this, her husband knows it, and so do their children; for she is the boss and she is bossy.  If  she does not get her way, her wrath will come out of her.  She knows this, her husband knows it, and so do their children, for she uses her anger to demonstrate her power to get her way.
   She is also the spiritual leader of her family, and her religion is important to her.  Thus, her religion is also important to her husband and children because she says so.  If her family does not obey her, she will unleash her wrath to show her sore displeasure. 
   More families would believe in God if more husbands and fathers put their boots on the ground and stood up for Him.  But because many men fear their wives more than they fear God, they submit themselves to the authority of their Queen Jezebels as they become more like geldings of the pasture instead of stallions.  And because many men refuse to be men, more and more families become victims to paganism. 
      Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:  Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.  (Ecclesiastes 12: 13)

FATHER KNOWS BEST

   When God created Adam and Eve, the Lord never intended that people would use their creative imaginations to create religion.
   Because God created us, we are the children of God, and God is our heavenly Father, which is the message God has been trying to get to people for thousands of years.
   Many people have come to believe in this truth and worship God as well as try to live our lives under His leadership, just as an obedient son will believe in the leadership of his father.
   Conversely, many people have chosen to ignore God and to believe in the god, gods, and goddesses of religion.
   Just as a son can rebel against his father, people will also rebel against God.
   As our heavenly Father, God loves us and cares for us.  But if we reject Him, God lets go and allows us to live our lives without him:  just as a father must let go of his rebellious son and allow his son to live his own life.
   Our Father knows best what is best for us, but He will not make us follow Him, for that would mean we are His prisoners.  He knows our lives will be a mess without Him, but He gives us the freedom to choose Him as well as the freedom to reject Him; for He will not force His love and care upon us.  God loves us, but He also wants us to love Him.
   Knowing God is about a relationship with God:  and not a relationship with religion.
      A certain man had two sons:
      And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to  me.  And he divided unto them his living.
      And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
      And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
      I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son:  make me as one of thy hired servants.
      And he arose, and came to his father.  But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.  (Luke, chapter 15)

   Likewise, God wants people (His children) to come back to Him, to come home, for He has compassion for us!
   God is sitting on the porch of heaven, watching for His children to come down the road.

WINDOW WATCHERS

   Television is the window to the world from inside the privacy of your own home, and it has the power to bring the world to your living room.
   Television will rob you of your time and it will contaminate your mind over time.
   Television is seductive, alluring, and tantalizing, and it creates desires and temptations in your mind and in your heart.
   Television is designed to grab and to hold your attention, your focus, and to keep you silent; for when people watch television together, they do not talk. 
   "Shhhh.  We're watching television, be quiet."
   Television has broken communication between family members and friends, and thus relationships among people have been broken and shattered.
   We have little time for this, and little time for that; but we always have plenty of time for television.
   Television is all about the world we live in with very little offered about God; for God is an interruption in the lives of people who feast on television. 
   Television is about cars, clothes, fashion, beverages, guns, violence, beautiful people, crimes, divorce, adultery, and sex, sex, sex.  Programs are loaded with sex, and advertisements are loaded with sex.  Why?  Because sex sells.  With more sex, viewer ratings go up, and advertisers spend more money.
   Television is a vehicle for earning money for the television networks, for the advertisers, and for the actors. 
   Television is also designed to feed the minds of people from the table of the world, and your behavior can be changed and modified by watching television.  And if your behavior can be changed and modified once, it can happen again.
   Television is also designed to establish the behavior of children.  Getting to their minds at early ages, television can set the future course of life that television can produce in the minds of children; and at a later stage of life, television can alter their lives in another direction. 
   Psychology calls this conditioned behavior, for human minds can be conditioned to believe certain teachings, then people will behave according to the doctrine that is planted in their minds; for the human mind operates like a computer:  data in; data out.  Thus people can be programmed by the power of television.
   As people watch the window of television, and feast from its table, their lives are being shaped and formed by people they never see operating behind the scenes. 
   When television became the parent of children, families and family values have changed by the power of television.
   Television can become an addiction of the mind; and because of its power, television---in a way---is like god:  for of it's on television, it must be true; or if television says it, it must be true.
   Television is also just like a religion:  it grips and binds the mind, and people can't live without it.
   Window Watchers watch the television window:  while some people are watching for God.

HEAVEN'S FUTURE

   We are standing on planet earth, the home for heaven's future.
   First, however, God will destroy the earth as we know it now.  All mountains will come down and God will also destroy everything that man has created upon the earth.  After that, heaven will come down and cover the earth.
   God will also create a new Jerusalem, the city of God, where Christ will reign as King; and we, who believe in Christ, shall also reign with Him upon the new earth.
   If we believe that God created the heaven and the earth, then it is not difficult to believe that God can do it again.
   In the future, there will be a great resurrection of the dead.  Every person who has ever lived and died will be resurrected from death.  Some will receive everlasting life, and some will receive everlasting torment:  according to the choice they made while living.
   Therefore, understanding the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so important to know because all people will be resurrected from death.  They will be reunited with their bodies just as Christ was reunited with His body at His resurrection, for Christ did not leave His bones in the tomb!
   Thus we can believe that our bodies are important to God because God created us!  And we, after our resurrection, will live again with our bodies just as Jesus is living now with His body.
      For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:  and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.  (Isaiah 65: 17)

LEAVING RELIGION

   There are many unhappy people in the world, and there are people who have never known a day of happiness, nor a day of freedom, nor a day without hunger.
   There are citizens of many nations who have never had happiness or freedom because the leaders of their governments are people whose minds are corrupted with evil; and people with evil minds do not want their people to be happy, and neither do their want their people to be free.  Their purpose is to contain and control people, thereby keeping people as their prisoners. 
   Not only is this true in governments, but this is also true in religions. 
   In religion, freedom is a fleeting moment; and happiness is no more than a passing smile.
   Internally, people of religion are miserable; but they fear letting go of their religion because they have been convinced that they will lose their salvation, or their passage to heaven, if they turn their backs against their religion.
   True happiness can only come from God, and people will never be truly happy until they come to know God and the wonderful love He has for us.
   Love cannot be manufactured in a laboratory test tube, nor can love be attained in the world of religion because religion does not know God, nor His wonderful love. 
   Religion can only teach humanistic love, which is the love of self.  And people are deceived to think that they must love themselves before they can love others.  This is one of the greatest lies that has ever been told.
      For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting love. 
   Yes, to believe in God, you must turn your back on religion and let go of it.  You will not do this by yourself, but the Lord will help you.  And when you do this, leaving religion will be one of the easiest things you will ever do.  Then, and only then, will you be totally free.  You will feel like a window has been opened and fresh air is flowing throughout your house. 

TRAITORS

   Eleven of the twelve disciples of Christ did not know there was a traitor among them.  But Jesus called him out, even after Judas Iscariot had participated in the Lord's Supper. 
   What is the lesson here?
   The twelve disciples represent a church, and Jesus was revealing to us that there are traitors in churches.  And just like Judas Iscariot, they participate in the Lord's Supper, which is also called the Communion Service.
   Judas Iscariot was the most trusted disciple because he carried the disciples' money bag.
   In churches, the traitors are the most trusted members, or clergy.  Follow the money, and you will find the traitors.  They are the same as thieves and robbers; and like Judas Iscariot, they will skim from the top of the money bag.  They will keep money that could be used to help the needy.
   In governments around the world, follow the money and you will find the traitors; for they, like Judas Iscariot, will be skimming from the money bag:  filling their own pockets with loose change while people within their nations starve to death.
      For the love of money is the root of all evil:  which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.  (I Timothy 6: 10)
   Traitors love money and money is their god.  And by coveting money, they reap unto themselves the seeds of evil, and they become a tree of evil:  in churches as well as in governments.
      And having food and raiment, let us therefore be content.  But they that be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.  (I Timothy 6: 8-9)

AN IMAGE OF CHRIST

   When people hear the truth, they will either accept it, reject it, pretend they did not hear it, or get angry.
   The difference between truth and lies is a fine line, and some people try to straddle the line:  pretending they are living lives of truth, but they still have one foot in darkness. 
  Such people are hypocrites:  they have heard the truth, but they continue to live in lies while believing that they will be alright as long as they remain in their belief.
   The Holy Spirit reveals Christ to the minds of people and people can thereby know that Jesus is the Son of God.  But people, however, can resist Christ as the Son of God and continue to believe in the image of Jesus that they have within their imaginations, which deceives them to believe that they are Christians because of the image of Jesus that is within their imaginations.
   The ministers and priests of false churches are masters of keeping Jesus as an image in the minds of people, for the people believe that it is their religion or church that saves them from their sins, and not Christ.  The people will then continue to believe in the image of Jesus at Christmas as well as the image of Jesus at Easter.  They will further believe that it is their minister or priest who forgives them for their sin, and not Almighty God.  For the ministers and congregations of false churches do not believe that Christ is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, for even their salvation is an image painted in their imaginations.
  The false ministers and priests of false churches produce false salvation in the minds of their congregations.  These are the blind leading the blind.
      Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
      Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
      Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:  for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
      And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.  (Exodus 20: 3-6)
     
     

TRICKSTERS

   The purpose of all the people of the New World Order is to erase the knowledge of God and the knowledge of Christ from the minds of people all over the world; for the people against Christ today have the same minds and the same hearts of the people who crucified the Lord in Jerusalem two thousand years ago. 
   Therefore, if people do not stand up for Christ today, they will stand up for the New World Order.
   Please remember that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest event in human history---without which, we would have no knowledge of God, nor love of God, on the face of the earth.  The Bible would have never been translated in languages for people to read all over the world, there would have never been any churches, and the United States would have never been created as a free nation.
   Remember, too, that a dead man has no power, and the apostles and disciples of Christ would have never departed Jerusalem to take the good news of Christ throughout the world had Christ remained dead.  And people today would not be preaching, teaching, and writing about Christ had He remained dead; for the news of another dead man is not good news.
   But in religion, people worship and pray to dead people, even though these dead people have no power; for their only power is within the imaginations of the people who worship them.  And their dead have not and cannot arise from death.
   Be not deceived by the sights and sounds that you see and hear throughout the world; for there are many deceivers in the world to deceive people to enter the doors of religion, a world that is without the knowledge of God, nor the knowledge of Christ, nor the love of God.  Their duty is to trick people to believe that their way is the right way when their way is the way of death.
   Such people are tricksters.  They are masters of deception, and their lies sound like truth.  They are like the "trick or treat" of Halloween.  They represent the god of darkness who can appear as a god of light. 
      For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  (II Corinthians 11: 13-14)

GOD'S RED LINE

   God's red line is a reprobate mind:  a mind that is consumed by evil, from which there is no return, nor salvation.

      And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
      Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
      Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, inventers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
      Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 
      Who, knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.  (Romans 1: 28-32)

      This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
      For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
      Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
      Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:  from such turn away.  (II Timothy 3: 1-4)

   People with reprobate minds are deceivers, liars, and the truth is not in them.
   To avoid a reprobate mind is by accepting salvation that is available in Christ Jesus, the Lord.

      Neither is there salvation in any other:  for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.  (Acts 4: 12)

INDICATORS

      A good man out of the treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil:  for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.  (Luke 6: 45)

   Actions reveal the content of the hearts of people faster than their words, and facial expressions reveal the truth of people faster than they can speak.
   If people do not like to talk about God, you can read their refusal on their faces; and if people do not like to talk about Christ or the Holy Bible, you can read their refusal on their faces.
   People are quick to talk about the things that are dear to their hearts, which are the things they think about most often:  such as their children or grand-children, sports heroes, politics, movie stars, as well as the people they like or dislike; for these are the abundance of their hearts.
   If people are reluctant to talk about God, this is an indicator that they do not know God; for they are not comfortable speaking about Him.
   If people are reluctant to talk about Christ, this is an indicator that they do not know Christ; for they are not comfortable speaking about Him.
   If people are reluctant to talk about the Bible, this is an indicator that they do not know the Bible; for they are not comfortable speaking about the Word of God.
   And if people are not comfortable speaking about God, or Christ, or the Bible, they will change the subject; for they are out of their comfort zone. 
   Their faces will tell you the truth of their hearts, and their faces will speak faster than their words.
    If people will study the Word of God, they will gain the knowledge of God; and God will add knowledge upon knowledge because they diligently seek Him.  And out of this abundance of their hearts, they will become voices for God. 
      For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
         neither are your ways my ways,
            saith the LORD.
      For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
         so are my ways higher than your ways,
            and my thoughts than your thoughts.
                                           (Isaiah 55: 8-9)

PATHFINDERS

   How many Americans are taught to believe that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are real, but Adam and Eve are fictional characters, and that Jesus is no more than a religious idol, or still a baby in His mother's arms?
   How many Americans do not believe that Almighty God created the earth, life on earth, as well as created the entire universe?
   How many Americans have never read the greatest story ever told from the greatest book ever written:  the Holy Bible?
   How many Americans see Christmas and Easter as days of festivals, or as vacation days, or as days to party and make noise?
   How many Americans do not believe in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, nor in the return of the Lord to the earth?
   If this is true in the United States, then what do people in nations all over the world believe?
   Therefore, what is the hope of people in the United States and in nations all over the world?
   What do we hope for, and what do we believe will help our lives be better---not only in the United States, but also in nations all over the world?
   What can we do to stop hunger and starvation, sickness, disease, and the slavery of people trapped in the prison of human trafficking, as well as the people trapped in a world of mind-altering drugs?
   What is our hope and our belief for a better world in which to raise children?  Or are we now in a state of hopelessness and helplessness?  For the world is not getting better:  it is getting worse!
   When the leaders of our governments and religions represent a collection of corrupted people, to whom do we look to in the time of trouble?  Whom can we believe when the same people who want our time and our money keep leading us deeper and deeper in despair and desperation and global bankruptcy?
   When will people awaken and see that the leaders of the world are deceivers, liars, and the truth is not in them? 
   For the leaders of the world want us to follow them on the path that leads to evil! 
  They want us to feel hopeless and helpless. 
  They want us to live and remain in a constant state of hopelessness and helpless, in despair and desperation.
   They want us to follow them on the path that leads to evil.
   They want us to believe that they know best what is best for us.
   Such people are evil pathfinders, and the path they are on is the road that leads to darkness and not to light.
   The leaders of the world do not want to end hunger and starvation, disease, human trafficking, or drugs.  They want people to die as they create a New World Order with strong and healthy people.
   The leaders of the world do not want people to read the Holy Bible, nor to gain the knowledge of God, nor to learn the truth about Jesus Christ.  They do not want people to know Jesus Christ and be saved from their sins because they want people to follow them to hell because they are the ministers and priests of Satan, the Prince of Darkness.  This is the reason the leaders of the world are deceivers, liars, and the truth is not in them.
   Follow them, and they will lead you into captivity.  Follow Christ, and He will lead you to freedom.
   Today, I encourage you to read the Holy Bible.  If you do not have a Bible, leave me a comment and I will send one to you, free of charge.  Or you can go to www.bible.com and read the Bible online.

THE STATE OF THE WORLD

   The game of golf and life are much alike in one simple way:  the sum total of both is a combination of little things; and if we do not master the little things, then the big picture of either golf or life will be a work of toddler art.
   My golf game is presently in a state of chaos and I am playing golf like a beginner.  If I do not fix the little things that are wrong with my game, then I will continue to play toddler golf.  This is painful for me to endure, but I know my game is where it is because I did it all by myself; and I also know that no one else can fix it for me. 
   When you look at the big picture of the world we live in, what do you see?  Do you see works of art in nations all over the world, or do you see the works of toddlers in government?
   When you look at religions all over the world, what do you see?  Do you see peaceful people in nation after nation, or do you see people wringing their hands and wondering what else can go wrong?  This, too, is the result of toddlers in religion.
   People are being led astray by toddlers in governments and toddlers in religion.  Because of the perceptions of people, they are continuing to believe in the very same people who have led them astray, which is like a golfer who refuses to admit his problems.
   Global peace and prosperity for all is a carrot on a stick, which is held in the hands of people in government and in religion:  and people keep chasing the carrot, which is false hope. 
   A house that is built on a strong foundation will stand when storm clouds gather; but a house that is built on a weak foundation will wobble and collapse when the winds of change blow without warning. 
   The leaders in governments and in religions continue to blow the same wind at people whose houses are built on weak foundations, and because governments and religions do not have the love of God, nor the knowledge of God, chaos will be under their feet. 
   Thus, when we look at the big picture of the world, we see destruction in every nation because the leaderships of governments and religions are not honest with the people of their lands, nor are they honest with God.
   Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it  cannot hear:  But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.  (Isaiah 59: 1-2)
   Therefore, if you will look at the state of the world, consider the iniquities of the people in leadership positions in governments and in religions, and thereby know that they do not know God; for if they knew God, they would not be seekers of evil upon the people throughout the world.

ABOUT TRUTH

   As long as you tell people what they like to hear and want to hear, you will have an abundance of friends; but if you tell people the truth, they will turn their faces.
   For there is something about the truth that reveals the truth that is in people; and when people are confronted with the truth, the truth that is in them will be written across their faces.
   If you stand up for truth, do not expect many people to stand up with you:  for you will truly be disappointed.
   It is easy to say, "God bless America," for many Americans have been taught to say this since they were children; but how many Americans truly believe that God has blessed America?
   It is easy to say, "In God We Trust," but how many people truly trust in God?
   A person's life is a storybook, and part of a person's life is revealed on his or her face.  Learn to read faces and you will be able to see some of the content of the storybook, for truth is revealed on the faces of people faster than they can speak.  But they will refuse to speak when they have secrets in the dark rooms of their storybook, which is truth not revealed.
   What is there about truth that people resist?
   People want to believe that they are right about everything while never wrong about anything.
   People do not want to believe that politicians will lie to them, nor that their friends will cheat while playing golf.
   Our perceptions of the world have been framed in our imaginations for so long that truth sounds like a lie or another conspiracy theory by a few wingnuts who have lost touch with reality; therefore, we can easily be deceived because of our own imaginations.
   People will reject truth faster and easier than they will accept truth.
   The leaderships of nations all over the world are in a state of dishonesty, and this nation or any nation will self-destruct when people cease from being honest; for we are deceiving ourselves by believing that things will get better, even when things are continuing to rot in front of our eyes.
   The New World Order is a system that is promising peace and prosperity to nations all over the world, when, in fact, it will be a system of global slavery.
   Jesus was crucified because He stood up for truth, and all of His friends were afraid to stand up with Him.  So it is with us:  when we stand up for truth, we should not expect many people to stand up with us.
   And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.  (Isaiah 53: 9)
