When one in the U.S.A things of missionaries, we tend to think of a foreign country. My mission field is in the piney woods of Georgia, where I grew up. This is the “Bible Belt”, so we have many churches of all denominations…but what is sad, is that many of these folks are not saved, and many in this area do not go to church. When the LORD called me, he told me to go back home, I have a mission for you. During the past 18 years, He has used me greatly here, witnessing to many (even some preachers, Sunday school teachers, deacons, and choir directors). I have led many to Jesus.

What is bewildering to me, is that I am not recognized as a missionary. If I was in Brazil, China, or some other country, then I would be. The LORD has missionaries everywhere, even in your home town.

Pray for all who are bringing the message of good news.

Church on mission is definitely a trendy title that is all over the place these days. the concept that we have to title places of worship, missional, has always been a little odd to me. come on, shouldnt all church buildings be missional in their very nature? all churches, at its very core, shoot to connect their culture and community with the good news as a missionary would in a different country? Isnt what the bodies of Christ is commanded to do in the sending out by Jesus in Matthew 28:19? Our own hometown needs this brand of church. Central Austin churches is slowly moving to what our Creator instructed in Scripture.

The messiah gives the challenge in Acts 1:8 saying, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 explains this idea as, right before Jesus Christ rises to Heaven, He points the disciples on a mission that would begin right in their local community. He begins with their local place of Jerusalem, and then enlarges the call to the uttermost parts of the earth.

As Christians, we are not motivated to privacy, but to be missional persons who are actively going out and finding communities right where they are with the good news. We have seen this throughout history: God moved Abraham on a mission to move from his home and his people and go to the town that God would show him (Gen. 12:1), God urges Moses on a journey to save an enslaved people and lead them to joy (Exodus 3:8-10), God urges Jesus on a exploration to earth to reconcile all things to Himself through the crucifixion (Colossians 1:20). And now God is sending people on a story to engage communities, cities, tribes, and even nations with the message of Jesus (Matt. 28:19 Mark 6:7 Luke 10:1 John 20:21 Acts 1:8). If we reject this call and continue to display the bodies of Christ like a members only country club ” demanding that people clean up their talents, pay their fees, and come to our place of worship God will continue His exploration without us.

A father savagely murders his nine children. A stay at home mother drowns her five children in a bathtub. A sex offender confesses to abducting and killing a nine-year-old child. Two weeks later in the same state - another sex offender duplicates the same heinous crime. In late December of 2004, over 75,000 children perished when a 9.3 earthquake caused a great Tsunami off the coast of Asia; 75,000 children were gone in an instant. When reading the morning headlines, nothing can strike more sadness within the soul once finding out a defenseless, innocent child has passed away.

It is only natural for man to ask God how He could allow a helpless child to die. The answer, if given likely would not be sufficient enough for our human minds. The prophet Isaiah explained, “the righteous passes away; the godly often die before their time. And no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come (Isaiah 57:1.)

The countries where the Tsunami struck are well known for their worship to false gods and idols. They are content worshipping cows, rats, insects, etc, choosing to worship creatures instead of the Creator. The 1st commandment of the Ten Commandments reads “I am the Lord your God…you shall have no other gods before me.” The 2nd commandment: “You shall not make for yourself any carved images, any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water underneath the earth, you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God.” The great Tsunami claimed over 300,000 lives in less than a hour. Was the Tsunami judgment upon these pagan nations from God? Not to mention, the majority of countries hit by the Tsunami are well known for the heavy persecution of Christians within their country. Prophetic evangelist, Perry Stone, believes that the aftermath of the Tsunami will allow missionaries to freely teach the Gospel in places which they were restricted to do so before: a fulfillment of the prophecy of the Gospel being preached to all nations.

It was over 2,500 years ago, when Isaiah the prophet declared the prophecy concerning the righteous to die, at the time spiritual wickedness was at an all time high in Israel. According to the amplified Bible:

“The society then was so bad that the righteous people in Israel had to die in order to find peace. Observing the evil all around apparently frustrated them. The only way the righteous could be sparred from such frustration was to die.”

A wise man once said if you want to know what’s going to happen in the future look to the past. America as a nation is on the same spiritual path (i.e. Idolatry, Spiritual Abomination, and Sexual Immorality) that the nation of Israel was before God rendered His judgment. The only difference this time is that instead of the righteous dying, the righteous shall all be changed and taken away in a twinkling of an eye. Was the great Tsunami the beginning of the birth pains described by Christ before His imminent return? The words of Isaiah regarding the righteous can offer a glimmer of hope when a devastating tragedy occurs. We must hold tight to the fact that God is in absolute control when it appears nothing in this world is.

From early childhood, my mother would agree that I was one of the most timid people you’d ever meet.

I was terrified to speak. Outside of family (my comfort zone), I often never spoke.

Hiding behind my husband’s coat tail for a number of years, he was good at socializing. I just tagged along. Were it not for him, I’d have never gone in the first place. I would have been too frozen to speak. Having him around took a lot of pressure off me. If I thought of a few lines, fine. But, otherwise, I could enjoy following as he mingled among the people, with maybe an occasional smile or two.

When the opportunity came to not have to play the church piano or organ, but to finally get to sing in a church choir, I was so grateful. Though I couldn’t speak the words, I could share my love for the Lord in song. It wasn’t that I never wanted to play again, because I did. It was just that I’d discovered a greater ability to worship, making my heart the instrument.

As years came and went, growing in the Lord, God began showing me prophetic things. Sometimes, those things were so wonderful I’d feel like I was about to burst just to tell someone. When I’d attempt to share, people would immediately quote scripture so fast I couldn’t take it all in to even know if I agreed or disagreed with their point. It was so intimidating, I’d close my mouth and just slither away. When messages came with urgency, I’d have to share ‘do or die’. It’s God’s Word to share such things or the blood will be upon your hands. Yet, because of their unbelief, God gave me a stammering tongue so others wouldn’t understand what I was trying to express. It truly became a long term thorn in the flesh. I’d spend hours, days, and weeks (and sometimes even months) just laboring to make one important point in a way that others could finally get it.

Often feeling like I think the Apostle Paul must have felt, excellent in knowledge but rude in speech, my words would often create unintended offences. Being misunderstood became a hurtful way of life. Walking on eggs was a royal pain, mostly on my part - never being aloud to be real. Retreating, I’d often find comfort in expression through pen.

Having had the opportunity of first hand observance of some of the most wonderfully gifted encouragers in the world, and the effect they had to lift up people … one day, God said, “Now, it’s your turn.” I couldn’t speak! I’d already promised God I’d go where He’d send me, “But, you know I can’t speak!!!”

It isn’t that I refused to go. I truly wanted to keep my word to God. But, if I walked up to someone - my brain would go dead. Words seemed to vanish. “God, you know that!”

God responded, “Well … could you say that you like their tie?” I paused, then responded, “It might kill me, but I ‘can’ say that.” After working up some courage, I walked up to the person God directed me to and said energetically, “I really like that tie!” The guy seemed both startled and surprised, as if no one had ever given him a compliment. He gave a big smile, but his ‘thank you’, seemed to be the only thing he could figure out to say (as if he’d never had opportunity to say it before).

Shew! I was glad that was over.

God showed me a lady, wearing a red dress. Passing in a church crowd, I made mention of how nice that color looked on her. Her face lit up and her mouth flew open. But, no words followed. It was as if no one had ever noticed before. She was both pleased and speechless. But, moving on through the crowd, it didn’t leave time for her to feel pressured to respond. Though just for a brief moment, it felt good to have made a difference. Then God said, “See that lady over there? Go say something nice to her.” ‘Something nice’ means I’d have to figure out what the compliment is. I looked and saw she was wearing a pretty broach. I had the first line, but she filled in all the rest. It’s just amazing how people’s faces would light up when someone acknowledged their presence. All I had to do was speak first, then we’d find amazing things to discuss.

Oh, man. This was so cool! Just say something to the person in need that God shows you and stand back and see what He does with it. (Faithful is He who called you, who also will do it.) Hey! God’s Word works!!!! And sometimes, all they need is someone to care that they came.

I was getting pretty good at this. Man this was a breeze. Just about that time … God upped the ante. “Now, I want you to go say something spiritual.” Oh, no! Of all things, this would be harder. “Bubububut, God, you didn’t tell me what to say!” “Observe,” He said. “Find something nice to say about their ministry.”

Every time I’d get comfortable, God would say, “Let’s learn something else.”

(Once, years ago, I was in a crowd and someone came from behind and touched my shoulder to get my attention. Feeling something spiritual happen from head to toe, I immediately had to turn and see who it was that touched me. It was so awesome, I never forgot it. The only explanation I know of is that his spirit transferred to mine.)

Again, God sent me with a message to another lady, before church was to start. This one wasn’t even a really big deal. It was just something she needed to be informed of. But, she had a crowd gathered as she stood gabbing about the weather. I waited patiently for at least 10 min. and it was almost time for church to start, still not having gotten her attention.

I asked God what I was suppose to do. He said, “Remember the touch? Now it’s your turn. Reach up and ever so gently place your hand upon her shoulder, then wait for her response.”

The lady finished her sentence, turned around and spoke to me in such a spirit, I think my knees almost melted. She ministered to me in such a miraculous way, I was in awe. Her speech instantly moved from insignificant to spiritual. It was so wonderful that I turned to see if anyone else had seen it. I almost said out loud, “Did you see what God just did!?!” But, they didn’t see. The crowd had vanished. They’d missed a blessed opportunity to witness the Power of a Touch.

In big ways and little ways, I began practicing the things I’d learn. Whenever I couldn’t remember someone’s name, which was most of the time, if I so much as tapped their shoulder, they’d greet with an instant smile. I’d say, “Hi”, to people on the street - something they hadn’t heard since years gone by (unless they’d visited the South). I’d look to notice little things, in letting others know their ministries were appreciated.

There’s a verse that says the giver receives the greater blessing. I found it to be very true, as these people would begin ministering to me! And, as someone would begin to care about them, they were in turn multiplying seed by caring about others. My youngest daughter once said, “Mom, that is so weird, walking up and talking to and helping people you don’t even know.” Could it be that this very thing of encouraging others could even be contagious on the streets? I don’t know, but people are a lot kinder in our local stores than they were just a few years ago. I never was able to be an encourager in the same way that others were. But, God didn’t call me to be someone else. And with each new step, I learned something wonderful about God.

Next, He sent me to a visitation training program. Then I knew God had lost His mind! But, I’d already promised I’d go wherever He called and I’d already gone farther than ever imagined. (I didn’t say I didn’t dread it though.) But, much to my amazement and appreciation, God didn’t make me learn all the perfect quotes and memorizations. I didn’t have to practice how to intimidate other people with scripture. I failed the course, was accused of not submitting to authority, and was asked to leave the class. God never promised there would be no pain. But even amidst a hurt greater than I had ever known inside a church, not even good enough to serve God, He gave me a very special promise. The words He’d written upon my heart, He would bring to remembrance whenever I needed them. God had something different in mind for me to learn … how to minister, looking to the needs of their heart. In my weakness, God became my strength. And, I finally learned to speak by taking Baby Steps.

God doesn’t call the equipped. He equips the called. I Co. 1:27-31

Most humans believe mankind is special and unique among Earth Species. Yet, if you look closely humans are similar in almost every regard to animals in fact humans are merely at the top of the scale of higher order mammals in the animal category or classification. At least one researcher wants to put this issue behind us once and for all by doing scientific experimentation to prove Humans are unique or not?

This project and new research experiment was tentatively and unofficially announced in an online think tank recently. And the lead and principal investigator stated that:

“But this is a difficult scenario to resolve since we are taking into considering an academic classification, which may vary as such between communities and this would have a significant impact on the experiment.”

Indeed, well then use their [academic] definitions then? But if Academia has “lied” to the them selves previous due to alignment with the Catholic Church or any religion if not all of them for instance then following that lie and using those definitions to continue to appease such religious notions is not science, remember the world is not flat.

So if the scientists cannot get their act together to be honest with definitions [usually] then creating new definitions which better fit the reality is in the name of [true] science and indeed the best for all concerned and needs to be done for the betterment of humankind.

This of course irregardless if they [the masses, religious followings] go along kicking and screaming about the findings. As “truth crushed to the ground shall rise again” no matter if you cut down the your hypothetical tree of knowledge to the proverbial roots, where you plan on starting your research, you see. And that is what I think of that. What do you think of it? Consider this in 2006.

Dear Readers, I received a letter this week that is written in Greek that I have translated and would like to share with you. It is from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and it is addressed to: all my brothers and sisters living in the 21st century. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For many years I have longed to see you. I have heard a great deal about you and all the marvelous things you are doing.

News have reached me that your scientific and technological advances are phenomenal. You have at your disposal automobiles so luxurious that the average man in my day would never have conceived such a possibility. I have heard about your ingenious skyscrapers and huge builders. I understand some folks become a bit dizzy and faint, just looking up at them. It boggles my mind just contemplating the fascinating achievements you have attained.

It is my understanding that your medical strides has made it possible for you to cure in the twinkling of an eye, the plagues and diseases that would destroy us by the thousands. All of this is wonderful. You can do so much more in your day than I could do in the Greco-Roman world of my day. Your educational facilities and advantages are superb and beyond compare to any other time in human history. You can travel distances in 5 days that in my day, required 5 years. All of this is marvelous.

And what is this I hear about that high-tech deluxe jumbo jet called Air Force One. I’m told it’s a floating mansion with sophisticated and extensive electronics. You have computers and cellular phones that make it possible for you to contact just about anybody in the world while cruising tens of thousands of feet in the air. All of this is simply fabulous.

Let me not forget to mention that I have also heard, but can hardly believe, that scientists have successfully cloned animals and human cloning is not far off.

I am a staunch believer in progress. I believe in development, I believe in growth and advancement. I think all of these are splendid. But I wonder if your moral and spiritual progress has kept up with your scientific and technological progress. From what I have been hearing, your spiritual progress lags far behind your technological progress. It seems to me that you have plenty of talent - but very little ethics; lots of gossip - but little Gospel; prey on bad news - ignore God’s good news; play too much - pray too little; fine houses - very few homes; lots of lust - very little love; talk too much - testify too little; lots of churches - few temples of God; lots of formality - little spirituality; lots of beliefs - no faith. And what are these Situation Ethics I keep hearing about? In my day it was, children obey your parents. But it seems like you all have changed it to; parents obey your children.

I am proud to hear America, that through your political genius you have managed to make your world a neighborhood. I understand that you have been able to establish working relationships with far away countries and that is beautiful. But it is tragic that with all you have at your disposal; you have failed to make it a Brotherhood.

Oh yes, my brothers and sisters, you have managed to produce the ultimate in scientific knowledge. In my day in my wildest imagination, we never would have thought of the invention of nuclear bombs; that deadly weapon that can be dropped from a plane on the heads of millions of people and can set the whole world on fire with the press of a button.

You live in an age of technological genius. But I also heard the other day that you live in an age of longing, age of anxiety, age of suspicion and fear. You live in an age in which people are afraid to defend the faith for fear of offending disbelievers; an age of compromise and acceptance and tolerance for the intolerable. You live in an age where all representations of Christianity in the work place, schools, community and government offices are considered inappropriate and to be reserved for the private home environment only. So it seems like you have plenty of genius but no wisdom. Therefore I find it necessary to write to you to remind you; in the midst of all your great knowledge and advancement, of the responsibility laid upon you to represent Jesus Christ in the times in which you live.

In a time when man’s inhumanity to man has reached chaotic proportions and destroying the very foundation of ethical values, we need those who are willing to take a stand for Jesus Christ.

You are the salt of the earth; you are able to be a light in the midst of a dark world. You have become one the richest nations under the sun. You live in a land that flows with milk and honey. You have eaten from grapes that you did not plant; you live in homes that you did not build, and yet I hear the painful cries of people all over the world dying of starvation.

Therefore I, Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, deem it necessary to write to you to inform you that God is still sovereign Lord. It seems to me you depend more on pills than you depend on God. I understand you have invented pills to come in all shapes and sizes, all colors and taste. You have a pill for just about everything. But it is strange that out of all those pills, there is not one that will prevent a person from lying and cheating, stealing and killing.

Well, that being said brothers and sisters; I encourage you to take a stand for the Lord. Live or die, survive or perish, stand on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:10-18. NIV)

Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen. (Romans 16:25-27 NIV).

Question

What is the mark of the beast, the now world famous 666?

Answer

There is more controversy flying around this loaded question than I care to address, but for the sake of those who have no knowledge at all on this subject I will try to break it down in terms that are understandable. What can be known about it for certain is that it is the mark that represents the antichrist’s economic system. Those who don’t have this mark will not be able to buy or sell anything. Whose name it actually represents, is too soon to say. It does seem to be a representation of the trinity of Satan, Satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet being the three constituents of that trinity.

An interesting development of late has been something called, Recommendation 666. This is one among many recommendations being adopted by the emerging government of the EU. This particular recommendation was introduced by the European Union’s security minister, Mr. Javier Solana. It is a matter of concern for many people for two reasons. The first is that the final vote on the European constitution is only about a year away. The second reason is because recommendation 666 seems to be worded in such a way that it gives emergency war powers to the leader of the EU if he has been sufficiently apprised of a terrorist threat or the country has actually undergone an actual terror attack. I have thoroughly read every word in this document and while I’m not sure that it something to worry about, it certainly is something to keep an eye on.

My strongest sense of conviction is to go with what we know about this dreaded number and keep a watchful eye on what develops hereafter. Using biblical numerology to point to some particular person is highly questionable and has only failed so many times before. A cautious and thoughtful approach is highly advisable, and a large application of watchful patience will win the day on this subject.

Question

If the pre-tribulationists are mistaken, and some of us are called upon to die at the hand of the antichrist, how will we he able to face this terrible and fearful matter.

Answer

Years ago I showed the movie that is now part of Billy Graham Ministries, called The Hiding Place. The movie is about Corrie Ten Boom who was delivered to tell her story to the world after spending time in the notorious Nazi prison camp named Ravensbruck. Besides seeing her parents and her siblings die under the Nazis, over ninety thousand women met their death in that dreaded camp. In one of Corrie’s books she tells a story about a question she asked her father when she was just a little girl. Her question to him was. How will I be able to find the strength or courage to die if I should be asked to die for my faith in Jesus Christ? Her father answered her question with a question of his own. He said, Corrie, when you go to see your aunt in the country every summer on the train, when do I give you the ticket to board the train? She replied, you give me the ticket the day I’m boarding the train. Her father said, that is correct, and Jesus will give you the strength and the courage to die for him if you have to on the day you are asked to die. I have never heard a better answer anywhere over the years. Gods grace for living will shift to Gods grace for dying as it is needed and not until then.

As a deist, Thomas Jefferson may have thought God was indifferent, but gospel twisting preachers and theologians of the day seem to think God is a clown. One preacher appears regularly on television pushing his book entitled…How to be Rich and Have Everything You Ever Wanted. He insists that if people would pay their vows (an Old Testament concept) that this would begin to happen. It goes without saying that payment must be made to him. The blatant emphasis on the business of tithes and offerings among some churches has become a shameful blight but shows no signs of abating.

Before millions of viewers on the Larry King Show, another well known preacher refused to say that everyone needed Jesus for salvation. He then stated that the word “sinner” was a word he never used in his messages. He has since apologized to his many friends and adherents but a chance to witness to millions is now lost. The question remaining is how anyone can find a way to preach the gospel without using the word “sinner.” Jefferson’s answer may be…Just use a jackknife.

This new kind of preaching has many names. It is called, the prosperity gospel, the abundant life gospel, and the celebrity gospel. I call it, the gospel according to the Americans but in moments of my greatest disgust I call it by its more generic name, trash.

Is it wrong to say that God wants to bless us? Does God want all his people to be dirt poor or live a life of abject poverty? Will God only give us pie in the sky when we die and ignore our love and generosity until later? The answer to all three questions is, no, no, and no. God has promised to bless the giver in dozens of passages similar to Luke 6:38. So what is the problem?

The problem is one of balance. Just like the ancient Pharisees who struggled with the picture of a ruling kingly messiah versus a lowly suffering messiah. Their answer to the seemingly incongruous promises of the prophets was to come up with the idea that their must be two messiahs. There is but one messiah and all prophecy is fulfilled in him. Aha! There is also but one way to walk the life of obedience to the gospel as well. It may be that you have to be abased or exalted as the apostle Paul who said he had learned to adapt to either state for the sake of the gospel. Php 4:12 If Paul were a proponent of today’s gospel he would have thought he was out of the perfect will of God every day he was pursued, beaten, jailed or suffering. Thank God he didn’t feel this way because he would have had to style his epistles after the Jeffersonian model and leave out those occurrences.

Is it really a time for believers to dismiss every wind of doctrine and accept every new kid on the block kind of doctrine? Are we compelled to look the other way as these twisted presentations of the gospel gain momentum all for the sake of Christian unity? But is this rather a time for Americans to hang their heads in shame. Trying to present a gospel that does not magnify anything but the wonderful finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ is always a shame.

If we emphasize only those parts of the bible we like and leave the rest we are creating our own Jefferson bible. Perhaps we then might be able to do away with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and substitute them with a single gospel we could call, The Gospel According to the Americans.

Accepting all beliefs made U.S. Great ?
Quote; “In a letter posted Nov. 3, the letter writer said that, “The law should be based on the Bible. God cannot lie.”It is a fact that men, not God, wrote the Bible. Humans make mistakes and these men were no exception. The letter writer claims that “there are no errors in the Bible,” or it would not be here today.
If errors are the premise for the destruction of a book, there would be no books in existence. She states that “people of that time had a much better understanding of humanity, nature, and truth.”

We find it difficult to associate raping, plundering, stoning, public executions, slavery, human and animal sacrifice with “the better understanding of humanity, nature and truth.”

The Bible, as a literary work, is one of the most violent books ever written. If she believes that this country was founded because people wanted religious freedom, shouldn’t that freedom be extended to every view?

Our country prospered not because it was founded on “God’s words” but because of separation of church and state. This country’s prosperity is related to its ability to attract the best of the world. Our ancestors made this country what it is today. Certain “Christian” groups expect us to take their beliefs as gospel, yet they are unwilling to entertain others’ beliefs.” Unquote.

Mankind has placed itself at odds with the Creator. Mans ability to serve God is based on mans ability to believe God. And when man refuses to believe, there occurs a rift between himself and God. Mans idea of right and wrong become clouded by his ambition to gain worldly riches and to be the center of attention. In the preceding letter, I have found that the view of the people that had written it are also the view of not only those in the United States but around the world. They being clouded, in the mind and spirit, by the arch enemy of man, The Spirit of Anti-Christ.
Who ever said that being a Christian was easy, who ever said the Gods government was one of compromise? Where did you ever see where The government of the Kingdom was a democracy?

Lets look a little closer at the letter.

1. Quote; The law should be based on the Bible. Unquote.

In Fact, the Law of many countries is based on the Bible. The greatest example of this is on the Supream Court Doors. The Ten Commandments. In 2nd Peter 2:10, We see the reason for most of mankind’s failure to be at peace with each other. ” But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”
Now we see in, Isaiah 9:7, The result of The government of Jesus and His reign. ” Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

2. Quote;”It is a fact that men, not God, wrote the Bible. Humans make mistakes and these men were no exception.” Unquote .

To be more precise, the absence of mistakes in the Bible proves, that man had no part in the contents or construction of the Scripture. According to scripture, man was inspired by the Spirit of God. They in essence were being secretary’s of the dictation of the Word. 2Ti 3:16 - 17. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

The key words we look for in 2Ti 3:16 - 17 are these; “That the man of God,” here we see that the words of God, i.e. The Bible, are power to those that have received the word of truth willingly. There-by, we who believe in Gods word, are made acceptable in the Beloved. Being endowed with a spirit that the world cannot understand.

What we, as believers, see cannot be seen of those that refuse to believe, in a Being, of Unlimited power and Vision.

3. Quote;”The Bible, as a literary work, is one of the most violent books ever written.” Unquote .

Violence comes from the hearts of man. Man does not regard God, nor his precepts, nor his threatenings and judgments.

The Bible being violent isn’t the work of God but of mans disobedience to God and His Laws. Man, as was with the past in scripture, had made his own choices. The more that man walked away from God and His stipulations, the more violent man became. No one ever say anything about the books and movies of WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, or any other book that deals with mans violence to man. I wonder why?

4. Quote;”Our country prospered not because it was founded on “God’s words” but because of separation of church and state.” Unquote.

Being misled is mans ultimate downfall. There is no separation of Church and State, for without The Father, there would be no state. The clouds of unbelief are gathering stronger and darker. Man has turned away from God and has turned to fables and science. How do you believe, that mankind evolved from anything, how can you believe that man just appeared, how can you believe that man can survive on this earth for eternity?

The Idea of Separation of Church and State came from idolaters and those that wanted a way out, so they could, use mans law for his own purpose. With a Nation based on Gods Laws, it was restricting to them and oppressive. Instead of wanting a Land protected by the Hand of God, they wanted to turn to their own imagination, which was and still is on evil continually. What have we gained by turning away from God? Homosexuality, Prostitution, Murder,Terrorism, Pornography, Drug addiction, open borders and all manner of False Religions. Bibles were taken out of Schools and in return we received an increase of Gangs, instead of students.

Deception and corruption in government and all the way thru, what used to be a society serving God.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. You say that this is violence? Why cant God destroy something that He created and owns? Mans violence against the week, is an oppressive man, He is no different than the animals of the wild, seeking the week as prey. Man has become the oppressor of man not God. When God says Love thy neighbor, He didn’t tell us to accept, nor Love, the sinful abominations that they co-mitt. On the contrary, He tells us to warn them, and if they refuse to listen to turn our backs on them, for He will judge.

Psalms 72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break (destroy.) in pieces the oppressor.
All the nations that forget God - They will not live in his fear. There are both nations and individuals who, though they know God, forget him, that is, are unmindful of him, do not acknowledge him in their designs, ways and works. These are all to be thrust down into hell. Reader, art thou forgetful of thy Maker, and of Him who died for thee?

5. Quote;”If she believes that this country was founded because people wanted religious freedom, shouldn’t that freedom be extended to every view? “Unquote.

Here is the view of God and His accepting all views as being right; 1Co_6:9, 1Co_6:10; Gal_5:19-21; Heb_13:4; Rev_21:8, Rev_22:15.

Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. What is evil, all those things that Our Father calls sin and a abomination is evil. My Father hates it and therefore we hate it.

Psalms 9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.

Psalms 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

6. Quote;”Our ancestors made this country what it is today. Certain “Christian” groups expect us to take their beliefs as gospel, yet they are unwilling to entertain others’ beliefs.”Unquote.

Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. How can God accept lifestyles, opinions, and views that are contrary to His word.?

2nd Co 6:14-18; Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Barnes states; Come out from among them - That is, from among idolaters and unbelievers; from a frivolous and vicious world. The underlying principle is that in a moral universe it is impossible for God to fully bless and use His children who are in compromise or complicity with evil.
The unequal yoke is anything which unites a child of God and an unbeliever in a common purpose. We cannot call Good evil nor evil Good, for it is in contradiction to what we know is true.
(Deu_22:10).

Our lack of knowing God is the most vital issue, we as seekers must confront. Our believing the lie about God created this false Bible story conception. This fantasy existence of our perception of God rather then its Bible story truth yields an effect. The proper interpretation of the story about God has enlightenment. We have to perceive the message in order to hear this statement detailed in the Bible account. We perish through the lack of this knowledge of God given message. The Bible story places us not able to change and develop into God “image and likeness” for our livelihood. We can not assemble the thought the Bible story define to discover the ways of God. The deception we hold lack the knowledge of God. We lack the insight and will not allow the view of God’s glory. We fall short in an enslave condition which snares us from the word of God.

Our doubt and perception of the Bible stated details causes the lack. Our application of the Bible fact into its given message account is vital to know this truth. We lack the Bible perception, about any issue, in its story. Our thoughts are outside the Bible story given message account. The Bible story is presented to tell us about God. The opinionated view outside of the Bible story is a game. This game we establish and play with the Bible story message will never confirm the desire God expect of us. Our lack of the Bible perception, and to understand its fact, is the story issue. The Bible story states we do not know God. The spirit of truth we hold about the Bible can not perceive the story fact outside an issue or question. The outside Bible thought of God coming to a question due to the lack of the story message. Our lack is the confrontation of this Bible reality. The Bible fact we reasons are the problem. The problem is the denial of the Bible story given message. The believer has one fact to the Bible reality of God. The Bible story assures the fullness of this message without confusion. We should have no questions, but a taken in fact, about the Bible story of God. We should consider the Bible facts, and overcome to understand the message, we can not perceive.

We who believe must hold to the fact of the Bible story account. Our belief declares there is a God. What is the problem? The problem is our thought about God is a possibility. We expose an indifference to the Bible story account. Our indifference of the Bible story assures our lack in the ways of God. The Bible story fact states the truth. The Bible story beginning coming to its conclusion will bring all things to our remembrance. Our best of heart about the Bible story message, without the fact, is the lack we should know. Our diversity outside the Bible story message proclaims a reality we can not disclose in the account fact. Our worship makes our truth right beyond the stated ideals of others? The account of the Bible story states we are family. Our family is a single household with complex division. God has a role in the household. Angel has their role in the household. So do us in the Bible account of the household. We take the Bible story message outside its face value. We play with the Bible story message and come to this lack of the knowledge of God. In our sequence of the Bible story events we have a what? Our Bible story meaning outside the story message is not perceived by the account. The Bible given message has not formed into our hearts. We honor God with our mouths but imagined realities show we do not know Him.

To overcome this lack of the knowledge of God we have to compare and examine the Bible story message. First we have to find and define the truth about the Bible story of God. We have a need to know the Bible story message of beginning. The Bible story words, it states, we lack of God knowledge? Our definition or spoken belief fails to relate the Bible story message account. We need to confront our lack with this fact of the Bible story start. The thought the Bible story relates in this beginning message has to conclude to an end. We forget the importance of a strong foundation. We attempt to assemble the household of God with rough sticks and straw. We can perceive the Bible story fact and its given message. Our lack is to lay the first brick to this Bible story message foundation. The Bible initial beginning is told by “whom”?

The Bible story states no earth born man has heard God voice. We outside the account will have a question pertained to the Bible story message. The Bible message is a story. The story conveys only details to its reader/listener. The story states the host of angel there at this start of the earth. Our stated fact of the creation should be compared to the Bible given story. We have a lack not seen about the Bible story account. God appointment of angels to watch over adam gave the host a job. This message is in lure of our lack of the knowledge of God. The Bible story message has this fact about angel. Our first brick from this lack is to the foundation and discerning the Bible story account. Our need is the beginning angel inspired to move God to create the heaven and the earth. This beginning fact by the host centered on the punishment of angel at the end of the Bible story account. The acts of these facts stated towards angel hold the Bible story account. No earth formed man has ever seen God. The Bible story holds the message by its teller. Adam in the sequence of the teller story was created into the account. The teller stating God created adam. The teller is conveying the act in the days when God created the heaven. Our lack is the correct perception of these Bible creation days. The teller view of the facts will ignite the flow and reality of the Bible creation story account.

God worked six days in the Bible story message. Our lack in this statement is the realities outside the fact of days. The Bible story states God is outside the fact of days. Angel made by God is outside the fact of days. The Bible story states these days were upon the face of the deep. The darkness took the light creating the deep. God divided the darkness on the deep by His request for light. The deep/heaven or cut of the waters was in a sphere. This sphere became divided into a side of light and a side of darkness. God and angel were there at this beginning of the heaven and the earth. God was there at the creation because He performed the act. Angel was there at the creation due to this heaven place in their world. Angel called this heaven the title “the deep”. The Bible story about the deep did not state God created the darkness. God in the Bible story dwelt in light. This beginning is one lack of our view of the Bible creation. The state of the creation starts in the world of angel. The thought by angel coming full circle, beginning to its end, to one told fact about the Bible story. The lack we suffer is the need to discern the Bible story initial statement.

In this initial Bible story statement is God proclaiming the accomplished act of the heaven and the earth creation? Or is it a teller relating God act of creation? The “and God said” by the teller establish the story message. God in the account did not speak this initial story of the creation of the heaven and the earth. The Bible story places the teller there with God. The Bible story states “Let us” which include the teller of the Bible story account. The “let us make man” in the creation account reflects the world of angel. God made the world of angel as He had made the world of adam.

May we all grow in the wisdom and prosperity of God will.
