“Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this and cause us to hear former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is true.” Isaiah 43:9 For over the past year I have been trying to figure out exactly what has changed and pondering how they did it, for in doing so, the interest in serious Bible studies, Bible prophecy, the Rapture, the Tribulation, the Antichrist, the Second Coming, the Battle of Armageddon, the mark of the beast, all of these sorts of things have also diminished greatly compared to the sphere of influence that they once had. There comes a point where a servant of Christ must ponder whether or not it is time to ‘shake the dust’ (Matthew 10:14; Mark 6:11; Luke 9:5) and move along to others who will hear? Though there are times where God calls someone to preach, even in the following circumstances: “As for them, whether they hear or whether they forbear; for they are a rebellious house; yet they will know that a prophet has been among them. And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. You shall speak My Words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.” ...

“And they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is across from Galilee. And when He stepped out onto the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but among the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me! For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demons into the wilderness. Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion, because many demons had entered him. And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss. Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.” Luke 8:26-33 We are going to take a look at an interesting aspect and turn it into a little lesson here that any individual reading this might ponder, regarding their own lives. In verse 31 of Luke chapter 8, you have the demons...

“The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7 I was out driving around one evening recently in the north side of Rapid City, South Dakota, heading into the downtown district. I happened at a stop light where there was a man around my age, full of tattoos, mean looking dude, with his woman driving their car. Their car was booming from the bass of the speakers, shaking the windows a bit and I took a glance over at this gangster who glared back at me, thinking to say something, one of those things were you feel the nudging of the heart from the Holy Spirit, but your not quite sure, but I take off, getting stopped at a light just a couple of blocks away. They pull up next to me again. This time I put my window down and look over. He looks my way again and I say to him… “It’s all fun and games, but what are you going to do in the end?” He looks back and hollers, “I ain’t worried about it dawg.” He started to say something else, if I could guess it was asking what I was going to do, but the light had turned green and the driver of this car turned left, while I was making a right. Oh…my heart goes out to that man, that God would grant him the opportunity to continue to hear the Gospel, to consider, to perhaps repent towards God and by faith believe into Jesus Christ as His...

“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:26 A preacher can write, preach, warn, rebuke, exhort often, but how many actually take heed to whatever is done honorable and according to the will of God regarding these things that mankind needs to know? Certainly it can be discouraging. Long before my first article ever written on All Will Stand, there were fiery conversations that were had at my local job. We would debate back and forth about all sorts of topics from the girl who thought God was in everything, to the manager who thought that the charismatic movement was correct, as well as speaking in tongues, to the one who was Roman Catholic and believed that to be the right path to the atheist who said there was no God. There were those who thought women preachers were allowed, some who thought that christian rock was the way to go. Then there was the couple who actually got Saved while I was working there, believe it or not, as the closer (and eventually night manager) at a McDonald’s. All of these conversations were had and each day, even with different viewpoints, we debated and both parties, myself and the other, would come in with their ‘evidence’ to present to the other trying to prove our cases. While my arguments based upon the Bible might not have been accepted, there was not a single ‘lost’ argument, I had help, a good friend...

“For the love of money is a root of all evils, for which some being greedy, have strayed from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1st Timothy 6:10 “If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not unto death. There is sin unto death. I do not say that he should ask about that. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.” 1st John 5:16-17 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord comes. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be dug through. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man comes at an hour you do not expect. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made administrator over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Truly, I say to you that he will appoint him as administrator over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says in his heart, My master delays his coming, and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not expecting him and in an hour he does not know, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the...

“Therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will drive you from off the face of the earth. You shall die this year, because you have taught rebellion against Jehovah.” Jeremiah 28:16 “Do not be led astray: Evil company corrupts good character.” 1st Corinthians 15:33 “You shall not follow the majority in doing evil;”… Exodus 23:2a The Bible talks about a coming time of God’s just justice coming to the world and to that which is called Babylon (Revelation 17 – 19). Part of that entity includes the arts, which would therefore include Hollywood. (Side Note: “They shall come upon you in their fullness for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great power of your enchantments.” Isaiah 47:9 This is also speaking of the same entity in Revelation 17 & 18. Now consider the ‘great power of your enchantments’ and ponder what has happened to our society. This isn’t just the movies, but we must remember that when God’s Word states something, it is 100% accurate, absolute truth and in our minds we have the tendency to believe His Word, yet still harvest disbelief. Just as I believed when I was younger that evil communication would corrupt good manners, I added an * to that belief. I thought that because I knew better and was smarter than that, that it did not apply to me. No rather, let God be true (Romans 3:4) for it did matter and I was the one who was becoming corrupted. So too, I have heard that the music industry, back when the now revived vinyl industry had it’s stronghold on American...
