Saving Lives

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?  Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”  Mark 8:36-37   In the year 2020, a monumental amount of changes are happening consistently around the world, in order to save lives.  Now I could get into the arguments on both sides, both pro and against the measures being taken, however, the point of the matter is that whether or not you agree or disagree with what is happening around the world, it is happening.   The argument, if you will, is to bend the curve, saving lives.    I could not help but wonder the other day about the amount of effort pastors around the country have put into preaching the Gospel.    “But what does it say? The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the Word of Faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich toward all who call upon Him.  For everyone, whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.  How then shall they call on Him into whom they do not believe? And how...

The Biggest Conspiracy of Them All

“And the devil, who led them astray, was cast into the Lake of Fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”  Revelation 20:10   conspiracy A combination of men for an evil purpose; an agreement, between two or more persons, to commit some crime in concert; a plot. In law, an agreement between two or more persons to commit an illegal act or acts. A concurrence; a general tendency of two or causes to one event. Webster’s Universities Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged, Webster, 1942   All Will Stand talks about politics, only when it is fitting and from a biblical viewpoint.  At times talks of what would be considered ‘conspiracy theories’ are mentioned.  As with any conspiracy theory, it is simply a theory, the Word of God is the only guaranteed Truth.   “Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the Words of eternal life.  And we have believed and understood that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  John 6:68-69   Yet there has been a conspiracy against mankind, only the focus is always on the people behind it, yet who is behind them?   “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies.”  Ephesians 6:12     “So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads the whole world astray; he was...

Seek God While He May Be Found

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  The one believing into Him is not judged; but the one not believing is judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been worked in God.”  John 3:16-21   The amount of fear and panic that is out there regarding COVID-19, the coronavirus, is unprecedented, with a HUGE lack of common sense.  Even some basic measures that would prevent the severity of this situation are not even being discussed or implemented, rather a dystopia for the United States of America, as well as most of the world’s population.    People are afraid of contracting the coronavirus and dying, but where is their fear of God?   “And do not fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who has power to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.  Are not two sparrows sold for a copper...
