There are millions who would tell you they’re not concerned about the judgment to come. I have met quite a few who say “I will take my chances“. Such souls are absolutely oblivious to their own sinful nature somehow thinking 50% is good enough. Here: if you want to really see what your percentage of […]
What’s it cost to be a nice guy.? Especially if you have things extra you can give. What’s it cost to be a holy guy in Christ? Regardless, the things you used to own.
What is sinner gonna ever say to sinners that what he firmly believes in Christ might be imparted to their souls? Nothing. How is a man gonna change the ratio between the utterly depraved and helpless worthlessness of man and those who have been made to understand the grace of God? He’s not. These words […]
What if: What if there was no such thing as PTSD? What if the memories of tragedy, self imposed or otherwise, simply didn’t exist. Who would we have become? But PTSD is excruciatingly real. Memories stand in line just waiting their turn to enraged the fire. Here’s a thought: while suffering on the inside is […]
What makes Christianity endlessly different in this world? The foundation of difference is the question of who is responsible for my salvation. Do we share even the tiniest portion of responsibility for our salvation with the living God? Thinking that we obey anything he tells us to do is to divide the responsibility beyond Christ. […]
Dear Russian leadership: I’m not a historian. I can’t unequivocally say there has never been an army like yours. So I can only understand what I see you doing by equating it with my own life, but I have to say that, even in my own life, I do not see the likeness of your […]
Something to nag at your memory for pondering: I have said that the name of God is far more than saying God. It is everything he has done everything he is doing and everything he will do for eternity. No man can possibly speak that, so he gave us a name we could speak. That […]
sight Sound Taste Smell Emotional Atmospheric Anything can bring association between the now and what was. It’s sudden and it’s strong. Those terrible memories you have about terrible things you have done, why are they the ones who are predominant in such memory recollection? Surely you have a great many pleasant memories. But your appearance […]
What is this spine that I wear on my back?It’s not the one I was born with. This spine is tempered steel .“ I can’t live in a fire to temper my spine!”. What is the strength of it?What does this do that bones cannot? Let’s take a look: Why am I sitting here full […]
Black, gray, white. Monotone, color, light. This world cannot write any story from heaven. It can only speculate, suspicion, imagine, the things of God in Christ. You want to know what’s sad is? All the stories of this world will gather together before the throne of God. They will see the Christ of God and […]

The reality of God’s message is falling upon me like a blanket of raging fire. It is what I have desired. Yet, the horror overwhelms me.

2 Cor. 4:7But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
God bless and keep you~

I have often said, “Iron sharpens iron.” It is good to remember those words of encouragement you posted. We are NEVER alone. And He who suffered alone will never allow that to happen to His people! We serve the Living God with all possible courage in the face of alll possible horrors. Fear does not belong to our God.
Amen.
He has blessed me and has promised to keep, not only me, but all who speak the truth with the power of the Holy Spirit. Blessings to all who allow their heart, minds, souls, and lips to belong to He who does not lie. Yet woe to those who seal up their own bodies with the desires of the flesh. What belongs to God will return to God, regardless how they have chosen to live their lives.

Iron truly does sharpen iron, indeed! Wisdom of God from one to another! I shared those verses above with you because the Holy Spirit had laid them upon my heart last night, which is going to be my bible verse photo today. He also gave them to me again while reading your post. Yes brother, His promises are true, He will keep us and we must never lose sight of His holy ways. We serve a Holy God and we His people are being perfected into the likeness of our Lord. Something else He was laying upon my heart along with the verses was, Rejected by many, but not crushed. Yet we are being crushed, like a grape, the more crushing of our flesh, the more the sweet smell of Jesus flows forth from within! Praise God,OH! Praise GOD!!! Be encouraged in the Lord! David as we read in the Psalms many times, we read he encouraged himself in the Lord. I have learned that for my own walking with my Precious Lord:)
