Unfortunate Ones

“If one of your brethren becomes poor, and his hand has become shaky, then you shall support him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you.”  Leviticus 25:35   Many of the younger generation in America support being global citizens.  Some of their beliefs include food, shelter, education and basic medical needs for all people, with little or no regard to borders or their own countries.  While the idea, often mixed with flavors of both socialism and communism, might seem noble to some on the surface, undoubtedly they are being prepped for the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), better known as the Tribulation.   Through the federal government strong arming against state sovereignty regarding controlling the content of our respective education systems in this country, they have over a generation of those who through moral relativism, humanistic and propaganda, as well as just plain old ignorance, prepared to accept the coming Antichrist.  Let me place a note here that the Rapture will happen before this time period begins, despite what the naysayers proclaim.   A moral society could never go down this road.  What we have is a society that is custom designed by those who knowingly have engineered the entire ordeal, one of which is full of wickedness, selfishness and evil.  To put this into scope we must first consider where America really stands amidst our current party attitude, then we must consider also the evil that we as a society have allowed to happen worldwide.  How can a society that overwhelmingly rejects God’s Word and rejects Jesus Christ as their Savior assume...

Psalms Walk-Thru #004

“In Jehovah I put my trust; how can you say to my soul, Flee like a bird to the mountains?  For lo, the wicked bend their bow; they make ready their arrow on the string, so that they may secretly shoot at the upright in heart.  If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”  Psalms 11:1-3   Truly a Christian, one who has repented and believed the Gospel, one who by faith has believed into Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, knows or should know that God Almighty is trustworthy.    There are many sorts of trials and persecutions that Believers go through.  For some it may be as simple as a neighbor who is generally unfriendly, for others they lean on their Maker, knowing that He will keep them safe under His wings (Ps. 91:4).  Depending on where one lives, the conditions of government repression, the religious institutions or religion of the respective country, there are varying degrees of troubles that can come upon a Christian.   Jesus said, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you.  If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.  Remember the Word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My Word, they will keep yours also.  But all these things they will do to you on account of My name,...

Proud to Defy God?

Let’s not let the media ‘tell’ us what to think and do, rather each American should turn to the Bible for knowledge of God and His standards.  Yet if those who continue to push such propaganda, which is contrary to their Creator and the people continue to buy into the lies, then what will happen?  Should celebrations be held by those who are proud to defy God?   “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… As they were increased, so they sinned against Me. I will change their glory into shame.  They eat up the sin of My people, and they set their appetites on their iniquity.  And it shall be: Like people, like priest. And I will visit their ways upon them and repay them for their deeds.  For they shall eat and not have enough. They shall commit fornication and not bring forth, because they have ceased to take heed to Jehovah.  Harlotry and wine and new wine snatch away the heart.  My people seek advice from their wooden idols, and their magic wand expounds to them. For the spirit of harlotry has led them astray, and they have committed adultery against their God.”  Hosea 4:6a, 7-12   Though they may laugh, cheer and celebrate their blasphemous agendas, eventually such wickedness will turn into weeping and gnashing of teeth.  Let each man be assured that God Almighty, the One to whom ALL will stand (Rev. 20:12) before, certainly does take notice.   “And in that day Jehovah of Hosts called for weeping and mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.  But behold, joy and...

Christians – Get Up!

Recently I had an exchange with the person who does the translating work for the Spanish language section of All Will Stand.  In that exchange they made mention of “what more can I do”, the same thing is on my heart regarding the work of the Lord.  Many Believers around the world have the same feeling that the “time is at hand” (Rev. 22:10) and the world doesn’t have much time left.  Truly we can’t know how much time we have left (Matt. 24:36), but we also must not slacken our work that Jesus has called us to do as Christians (Matt. 28:19-20).   A radio show regarding this topic will be up online soon, but the issue really is pressing.  Just how often do we as “citizens of Heaven” (Phil. 3:20), forget just how important the task is that is presented before us.    Not everyone is called to preach, not everyone is called to be a pastor of a church or a Sunday school teacher, etc., but often times just by our communication, we can have an effect on those who are lost and dying.    “In this regard, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same overflow of dissipation, blaspheming.  They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.”  1st Peter 4:4-5   We know that the apostasy (2 Tim. 4:3) that we are seeing was foretold prophetically, we see the evil fruits of this terrible thing throughout the world.  In fact it will not get better, but only worse (2 Tim. 3:13)...

Psalms Walk-Thru #003

“Jehovah shall judge the people; judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity within me.  O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just. For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.  My defense is from God, who saves the upright in heart.  God judges the righteous, and the Mighty God is angry with the wicked every day.”  Psalms 7:8-11   If only sometimes it was told as it really is, if only the truth about God was boldly proclaimed, without worrying about being looked down upon.  Then when those who proclaim things that are not, proclaiming lies against their Creator are corrected in the open, what would those who are within earshot do with such knowledge?    Consider our education system.  Our children are taught that evolution is responsible for their existence, yet this is not what God’s Word teaches.  (Rom. 1)  What if there was a revolt against these lies, instead of allowing rebellion against God Almighty?  Should those who know otherwise, who know God’s truth in the matter, sit silently?  Should such teachings be held only in the privacy of one’s own home or should you consider that these lies against our Creator are openly taught and proclaimed boldly to generations of school children?  This is just one example, the list is very long.   Recently a neighbor appeared at my door on helloween with a bag of candy for my son.  She inquired if he could have it, to which I firmly asserted that we don’t celebrate Halloween.  I explained that it was...
