It doesnāt matter if they call you religious. So are they. The world worships satan, and thinks themselves free. They look down on anyone who loves God. While they honor false religions and lies, they detest those who are learning to love the righteousness of Christ.
Donāt be known as religious man. Your religion is the spawn of your faith. In its self, your religion is worthless (no matter who you serve). It is the Christ who teaches you who is important.
We all know that it is easy to sing praise to God when the good things are in our hands. Blessed is he who sings when his hands are full of trouble. For such is a kin to Christ as he bowed to sweat blood drops in the garden.
Wealth has its own reward, but faith in The Promise of HE WHO IS exceeds the vocabulary of Man.
John 3:21 mentions those who āpracticeā the truth. In our vocabulary practicing means pretty much taking a stab at something. āWell I hope this works out.ā But there are quite a few different meanings to the word practice that are worth examining. Let the readers decide for themselves which words best reflect Godās intention. The numbers after each word or how many times they occur in the Bible.

Sitting here this morning thinking of the things in America. I am amazed. That the voices of divisive ignorance are so loud. I am astounded. That there are so many who agree with this divisiveness. They say yes to the “spinners”. The leaders do not fear death, they fear the volume of stupidity.
Still, the destroyer is not satisfied. For America still has soundness in her bones.
It is like the garden that was planted is being overrun with fools whose hands are full of seeds from weeds. What they are planting is not edible and it surely chokes out the food.
I just shake my head in dismay. The streets are becoming populated with screaming insanity. The homes are divided before the child is born. Righteous wisdom is refused.
What then is to be the outcome?
No man is capable of doing the things we say are expected of him, anymore than we ourselves can produce a crop of pure righteousness.
Why then do you ridicule your brother? Why do you say he is worthless? Isn’t it because you yourself can’t have what you want? Isn’t it because, in your own wicked eye, you perceive that he has taken something from you?
Have you been to truth? Have you been to the truth that devastates every man? Have you tasted your own condemnation? How many things have you denied your fellow man? How many things have you robbed from others simply because you exist?!
I propose your mouth would slam shut at the revealing of your own sin! That day is most assuredly coming.
The truth of Christ calls out in the streets, in your home, and in your own soul. Yet who will listen voluntarily? Who will listen until he rocks back-and-forth, recognizing his own helplessness?
Do not say you love God while you bash your brother’s soul against the rocks!
I write this as one of you. If Our God had not convicted me of my sins and taught me what is true, like you I would have nothing to say. But because I have seen what is true, (and am devastated) I am compelled to join Him in crying out in the streets. I am nothing, Christ is ALL.
Go to God in prayer. Confess your own failings. If you think you have none, ask him to show you. He is happy to reveal as much as you can stand.
I guarantee, any man to whom his sin is shown will drive his own face to the dust with remorse. His boasting, his hatred for his brothers, his sense of self righteousness, and his expectations of perfection from others will diminish radically.
Stop your ridiculous onslaught against your brother, humble yourself before God, and receive the truth.
If not today, when? Our days are numbered. The sum of them will come. Who do you want to be? Stop being preoccupied with your brother’s failings. Take a long hard look at your own.
Fake news, worthless ranting, irritating prophecy, spiritual carpetbaggers? Judge for yourself, the nature of what is today.
It is man’s worthless idea that the earth should be full of peace and tranquility. Look around, has it ever been true? Christ even told his select people that in this world they would have great trouble. How should it be better for those who will not except Christ’s Authority over them?
As bad as things are in the world today, it WILL get greatly worse.
Do not wait until you are face-to-face with The Living God.
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
