Although the word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible, the concept appears numerous times. The word was coined from the Latin rapio or rapere which means to “catch up or snatch away.” 1 Thes. 4:13-18 is the only place in the NT where a “rapture” is clearly referred to. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the … Continue reading →
I’m sure many of you can still remember what you were doing the moment you heard of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Do you remember the swell of patriotism and resolve to punish those that inflicted this national tragedy? All that psy-op has been pretty successfully used to further subjugate the world population into a luciferian new world order. Many of us old enough to remember life before 2001 recall the “good ole days” where … Continue reading →
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. [Matthew 24:12] In the wake of many recent prominent trials, I have heard many people question whether ‘justice’ was served. In listening to their arguments pro and con, I began to wonder if these people even understand what ‘justice’ means. What some seem to want is not justice, but revenge. Others express the culturally popular dogma of blame shifting and the separation of responsibility from personal actions … Continue reading →
Let there be no misunderstanding – Secular Humanism is NOT non-Christian; it is anti-Christian. A leading Humanist, Paul Blanshard, expressed it this way: “We have an obligation to expose and attack the world of religious miracles, magic, Bible-worship, salvationism, heaven, hell, and all the mythical deities.” [The Humanist, March/April 1973 issue, pg. 36] Secular Humanism, sometimes referred to as Cultural Marxism, is visible in all walks of life and in all our American institutions. The most intense battle has been … Continue reading →
The following editorial is part of The Corbett Report Subscriber newsletter. I am reproducing it here because James Corbett does an incredible job of exposing the New World Order war on your mind that I’ve written about elsewhere on this website. by James Corbett corbettreport.com March 27, 2022 We’re in the middle of a world-changing war right now. Oh, I don’t mean the war in Ukraine, the one that all the media are asking you to focus your attention on. … Continue reading →
At the core of the political crisis that has engulfed America in recent years is a swing from economic capitalism to democratic socialism. The price we are asked to pay for this reform is the freedom and liberty of all Americans. What most Americans don’t seem to understand is how fleeting and rare freedom actually has been throughout history. We have become spoiled by 200 years of liberty and take for granted much of what our ancestors died for. Particularly, … Continue reading →
According to 1 Corinthians 13:4 “love does not envy.” (NKJV) To envy is to want what another has. Once again this morning I had to look at another translation other than the NLT because I did not feel comfortable with how it read. Maybe I am getting a message here. Who knows. The NLT says “love is not jealous,” however, I can read elsewhere that God is a jealous God so I decided to look at the NKJV for a … Continue reading →
“Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up,” according to 1 Corinthians 13:4. “Look at me” says our world and those who dwell in it. Recognition is something we all want, but when is it wrong to be recognized? It becomes wrong when you yourself are the one recognizing and then demanding that others recognize what you have done. Pride motivates this and God humbles the proud. Now you don’t want him to do that do you? “Blessed are … Continue reading →
According to 1 Corinthians 13:5 love “does not behave rudely.” (1 Corinthians 13:5 NKJV) Said another way love behaves like a gentleman, not like a child wanting his own way. Yes there is such a thing as appropriate behavior for where you are and whom you are with. Love respects such boundaries. I remember being told as a child to be on my best behavior at certain times. Love promotes our best behavior. You see love cares enough about others … Continue reading →
“Love is patient and is kind” according to 1 Corinthians 13:4. Today we take a look at the love is kind part. Again, as I did yesterday, I think looking at it from the other view helps. If love is kind then a lack of love shows up in the reverse. Thus love is not harsh, just my opinion though, as I define this. Let us see then what scripture adds to this. “Instead be kind to one another, tender … Continue reading →
We continue to look at love this morning. According to verse 5 of 1 Corinthians 13 love does not “seek its own.” I pondered this phrase and considered its meaning. The best I came up with was this. Love does not have a “my way or the highway attitude.” It doesn’t have to get its own way in everything. Let’s think about that. In a marriage you at times see this play out in the evening meal. He comes home … Continue reading →
As we approach Valentine’s Day much is said of love, but what is love? For a few days I want to explore this topic and see what the Bible has to say. “Love is patient” we read in 1 Corinthians 13:4. I can thus reverse it by saying that love is not impatient. Love gives the object of itself time. Love does not therefore require instant gratification. I see this as a stumbling block in our time. So much in … Continue reading →
Emerging on the American scene in the mid-1930’s and igniting the culture war in recent years across America is what has been termed “Cultural Marxism“. Unlike traditional Marxism that focuses on economics, Cultural Marxism focuses on culture and maintains that all human behavior is a result of culture (not heredity / race) and thus malleable. Cultural Marxism is an offshoot of Marxism that gave birth to political correctness, and multiculturalism. The strategy of Cultural Marxism to bring change to America. … Continue reading →
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. [Exodus 20:12] “Daddy the Superhero” Brandon and Sean loved superheroes. They loved Superman and Batman and the Fantastic Four and dozens and dozens more. Their rooms were overflowing with action figures and comic books of all of the most amazing super heroes in the imaginary world and they knew their names and their stories to the tiniest little … Continue reading →
“Be still in the presence of the LORD and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. Stop being angry. Turn from your rage. Don’t lose your temper. It only leads to harm.” Psalm 37:7-8 Oh how easily we get all worked up. So much stupid currently is happening in our nation that it tends to make me want to scream. How about you? And how would God have … Continue reading →
