God’s wrath and judgement is coming upon the wicked, in a just manner for the sins they have committed. Just like a thief in the night will be the coming of the Lord with all power and glory. Society will be eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Jesus Christ returns. So, keep watching friends, brothers, and sisters, for we know not when our Lord shall come, that we may not be taken by surprise.
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot--they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all-- so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. (Luke 17:26-30 ESV)
Therefore, do not delay, repent of your sins, believe in the Gospel, and put your faith in Jesus Christ; for the kingdom of God is at hand. May the grace of God and our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God." (John 3:17-21 ESV)
THE SATANIC HIP HOP INDUSTRY EXPOSED: PART 1 (FULL DOCUMENTARY)
All the ways of a man are clean and right in his own eyes. Yet that does not excuse his faults in God's eyes. God understands your thoughts, motives, and the desires of your heart much better than you do. So much the more reason is there for anxious self-examination and testing the conduct by God's word, and, when this has been done to the best of our ability, still to pray for cleansing from faults which have escaped our notice. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? "I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds." (Jeremiah 17:9-10 ESV)
The Gospel is the good news to be heard by all…
There is an almighty God who we should fear and give glory to. A God who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. A God who is perfect, just in all his ways, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
God created man in His own image and with His own likeness and set the first man Adam in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it. But Adam sinned, and because of Adam’s decision to rebel, we are all sinners by nature and choice, and have fallen short of the Glory of God. The “wages” of sin is death. Thus, we are all justly deserving of everlasting punishment, the destruction of our body and soul in hell. But even though we were all once sinners, long ago God devised a plan to save and redeem us.
God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son; Jesus Christ, to die for us, paying the debt for our sins, so that through Him we may be saved. A “spotless lamb” in which there was no sin, the perfect sacrifice or substitute to take our place, a free gift by the grace of God. For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.
After three days and three nights, Jesus was resurrected and exalted to High Priest, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, and now sits at the right hand of the Father. God recorded all this in the Holy Bible, which God gave to us through the hands of his various chosen prophets, as both a historical record, prophetic account, love poem and an instruction book for life. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Jesus Christ promised that all those who believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Upon His glorious return they will be raised up; those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment. This belief is not to be confused with a mere mental belief, but a complete humbling of yourself and a coming to the realisation that only through Christ can you be redeemed, and that Christ is the way, the truth and the life, and nobody comes to the Father but by Him. It is total surrender to Him as both Lord and Saviour. It is having absolute trust in and living by His every word.
If you repent of your sins, believe in the gospel, and put your faith in Jesus Christ, His promises, and His teachings; you will inherit salvation which leads to everlasting life. With this salvation comes spiritual rebirth; God will send you His Holy Spirit which will help you, comfort you and put you in remembrance of all things in His word. The Holy Spirit will guide you to surrender to Christ as Lord, obey the commandments of God, to spread the Gospel, to be baptised for the remission of sins, to regularly celebrate the Lord’s supper and much more. Having personally experienced the grace of God in Jesus, a believer trusts God as Creator, Christ as Saviour, and the Holy Spirit as Helper. Christ rewires every aspect of our lives so that the life and power of Jesus flows in us. That is what salvation is, and it goes on forever.
God knew His elect before the foundation of the world. It is He that has decided to draw us to Him by His grace, because of His mercy and compassion on us, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. God is greater than all and no one is able to snatch you out of His hand. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom he foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the present darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The devil, who is called Satan, and all his angels, have been cast out from heaven for their choice to rebel against to God. They are our greatest threat in this world, even though at times it may seem like it is each other. For Satan works in the hearts and minds of all who are disobedient to God. We must be careful what we believe and to verify everything against scripture, for many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world. But fear not, for God is with us always, even to the end. It is His good pleasure to give us, as His “little flock”, the kingdom.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. One day God will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
We now await our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. He is coming soon with eyes like a flame of fire and all His angels with Him, and every eye will see him. But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. Therefore, those of us who are eagerly awaiting His appearing, must be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. There are some things in scripture that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction. Take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
The Gospel is the good news for all…
There is an almighty God who we should fear and give glory to. A God who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. A God who is perfect, just in all his ways and rich in mercy.
God created man in His own image and with His own likeness. We were the showpieces of His creation, the culmination of all created beings. No other creatures were given such similarity to deity – only mankind. Just flesh and bones but made in the image and likeness of God.
As a result of Adam’s decision to rebel in the garden of Eden, we are all sinners by nature and choice, and have fallen short of the Glory of God. The “wages” of sin is death. Thus, we are all justly deserving of everlasting punishment, the destruction of our body and soul in hell. But even though you’ve sinned, long ago God devised a plan to save and redeem you.
God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; Jesus Christ, to die for us, paying the debt for our sins, so that through Him we may be saved. A “spotless lamb” in which there was no sin, the perfect sacrifice or substitute to take our place. This is the gift of God.
After three days and three nights, Jesus was resurrected and exalted to High Priest, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. God recorded all this in the Holy Bible, which God gave to us through the hands of his various chosen prophets, as both a love poem and an instruction book for life. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Jesus Christ promised that all those who believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. To be raised up; the righteous, unto the resurrection of life; and the wicked, unto the resurrection of damnation. This belief is not to be confused with a mere mental belief, but a complete humbling of yourself and a coming to the realisation that only through Christ can you be redeemed, and that Christ is the way, the truth and the life, and nobody comes to the Father but by Him. It is total surrender to Him as both Lord and Saviour. It is having absolute trust in and living by His every word.
If you repent of your sins, believe the gospel, and put your faith in Christ, His promises, and His teachings; you will inherit salvation unto everlasting life. With this salvation comes spiritual rebirth; you are gifted the Holy Spirit which will compel you to surrender to Christ as Lord, obey the commandments of God, to spread the Gospel, to be baptised for the remission of sins and to regularly celebrate the Lord’s supper. Having personally experienced the grace of God in Jesus, a believer trusts God as Creator, Christ as Saviour, and the Holy Spirit as Helper. Christ rewires every aspect of our lives so that the life and power of Jesus flows in us. That is what salvation is, and it goes on forever.
God knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb. It is He that has decided to draw you to Him. God is greater than all and no man can pluck you out of His hand, only you can willingly walk away.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the present darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The devil, who is called Satan, and all his angels, have been cast out from heaven for their choice to rebel against to God. They are our greatest threat in this world, even though at times it seems like it is each other. For Satan works in the hearts and minds of all who are disobedient to God. But fear not, for God is with us always, even unto the end. It is His good pleasure to give us, as His “little flock”, the kingdom.
Those who are poor in spirit shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Those who mourn shall be comforted. Those who are meek shall inherit the earth. Those who hunger for righteousness shall be filled. Those who are merciful shall obtain mercy. Those who are pure in heart shall see God. Those who are peacemakers shall be called children of God. Those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Those who have been reviled, persecuted falsely, and spoken of in all manner of evil for the sake of Jesus shall be blessed. So, rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
On that faithful day God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things will have passed away. We that overcame shall inherit all things; and God shall dwell with us as Father, and we shall be His sons.
It’s been almost 2000 years since Christ was crucified. He was God manifest in the flesh, dwelling among us; the creator of heaven, earth, and the whole host of them. Who came to willingly lay down His life as a sacrifice, for our sins, to enact His Fathers will, so that all who believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.
So be careful “Christians”, unless you trample underfoot the Son of God, and profane the blood of the covenant by which He was sanctified, and outrage the Spirit of grace, by continuing in deliberate sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth.
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world--the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life--is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." (1 John 2:15-17)
"You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." (James 4:4)
"If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." (John 15:19)
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." (Romans 12:2)
"I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world." (John 17:14)
"But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself." (Philippians 3:20-21)
"The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." (Matthew 6:22-24)
"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ." (Colossians 3:23-24)
Do not be overly attached to worldly (non-spiritual) things. Believers are to love God and one another, not the world or possessions. The term "world" is not a reference to earth, or even to all material things. In this context, the term "world" is a reference to the fallen, man-centered system, or way of life. This system is filled with the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes and pride of life.
Someone who loves the way this world operates, including its control by sin, is a person who cannot also focus on the Father's will. So, brothers, sisters, and friends, place your devotion and love firmly in God, for you serve the Lord Christ. The world is passing away along with its desires but rejoice and be exceedingly glad: for whoever does the will of God abides forever, for great is your reward in heaven.
Do you keep God's commandments and obey His word? Have you repented of your sins? Do you try to walk even as He walked? If not, ask yourself: why?
“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” (1 John 2:3-6)
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” (Romans 6:16)
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:9-12)
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3)
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (John 14:21)
“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.” (John 15:10)
“Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.” (1 Corinthians 7:19)
“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” (1 John 3:22-24)
“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Revelation 12:17)
“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” (Revelation 22:14)
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.” (Psalms 111:10)
“Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.” (Psalms 112:1-3)
More notable scripture which speaks about this: Matthew 5:17-48, Matthew 7:22-27, Hebrews 6:4-6, Hebrews 10:26-31, Romans 2:5-13, Romans 13:8-10, James 1:21-27, Psalms 1:1-6, Psalms 19:7-14, Psalms 103:8-18.
Romans 1 talks about the wrath of God against all the ungodly and unrighteous. It states that "God gave them over..." three times to: "uncleanness", "vile affections" and a "REPROBATE MIND". Reprobate mind means a mind that doesn't function and does those things which are not convenient, being filled with all unrighteousness. That's when a kind of insanity prevails, which is demonstrated clearly in the fact that now we're not allowed to say a man is a man and a woman is a woman. That is insanity; that is a reprobate mind.
But if you are still able to distinguish between and man and a woman, don't let this give you a false sense of security. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We all need to repent and seek forgiveness and restitution with God through His Son Jesus Christ.
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:1-23)
Paul’s writings are some of the most misunderstood in scripture. Many, to the detriment of their own souls, believe somehow that Paul has given them a license to sin because we are under grace. Nothing can be farther from the truth. “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” (Hebrews 10:29) Therefore I tell you: unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish. “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” (Revelation 22:14-15)
Romans 1:18-32 describes something we will see more of as an increasing amount of the worlds population turn from God to the worship of idols:
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
God’s wrath and judgement is coming upon all who have not repented of their sins and turned to Christ, in perfect justice. Just like a thief in the night will be the coming of the Lord with all power and glory. The vast majority in society will be eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, and be totally oblivious until the day that Jesus Christ returns. So, keep watching friends, brothers, and sisters, for we know not when our Lord shall come, that we may not be taken by surprise.
Most importantly, repent of your sins and believe in the Gospel; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Put your trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour today.
May the grace of God be with you all.
The seventh day Sabbath is God’s gift to humanity. It was blessed and sanctified by God after He had created the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them. It was written into the Ten Commandments by His finger, was kept, and taught by Jesus Christ, and was observed by the apostolic church. A memorial of both creation and redemption, it should be faithfully celebrated by believers now as a day of rest, worship, and well-doing.
Here’s where the Sabbath was first instituted by God: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” (Genesis 2:2)
Here God defines when a day commences and finishes, from evening to morning: “And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” (Genesis 1:5) Thus we are to keep the Sabbath from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday.
Here is the fourth commandment: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” (Exodus 20:8-11)
The Father commands repentance. Jesus Christ commands and preaches repentance. John the Baptist preached repentance. His apostles preached repentance. Paul preached repentance. They all preached repentance. The doctrine that you can escape God’s judgement of destruction of body and soul in hell, and then be gifted eternal life, without repentance, is a doctrine of devils. An increasing number of professed Christians are falling victim to this ‘watered-down’ biblical doctrine. This is a lie that will lead as many as believe it to hell.
As Christians we should be preaching the same message as Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, the apostles, and Paul were preaching. It is just as important now as it was then. Do not hold back in preaching the truth of God's word. Do not succumb to societal/social pressure to remain silent on the matter. Brothers and sisters, if we hold back our tongues from speaking the truth, then are we not also guilty by omission? How can we allow others to burn without admonishing them and proclaiming the Gospel to them? If you've experienced the good news, and you’ve personally tasted of the heavenly gifts from God, why would you withhold that from somebody else?
Repent: To feel sorrow, regret and/or contrition for one’s past and to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one's life.
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:3)

“When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Mark 2:17)
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:1-4)
If our transgressions and sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we live?
Repent of your sins, believe the gospel, and put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ TODAY!
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)
Atheists. If I was to show you evidence of creation would you change your mind? Are you open minded?
Have a look at the below book. Do you believe that a book like this could have been created from absolutely nothing? Can the pages, ink, colours, pictures, binding and cover all miraculously form out of pure chance? Being that the cover and pages miraculously formed themselves out of wood into paper of different compositions and then red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet ink fell from the sky and formed themselves into words and pictures on each of the pages?

Absolutely not. Obviously, a book like that could only be created through the work of an intelligent designer.
Well then how much greater is the delusion that our DNA could have formed out of nothing. DNA acts as a blueprint or recipe for a living thing. A human’s genetic code contains 6 billion letters or 6,709 text only books or 511 high quality digital photos. When multiplied by 40 trillion cells, this is 60 zettabytes of information. That's 60,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
In the year 2020, all of the digital information contained in the entire world equated to about 40 zettabytes of information.. that's less information than what is contained in a single human body...
How could you argue that something as complex as life created itself by chance out of nothing? That is, unless you are wilfully ignorant because you are afraid of the truth and what it means for you...
...but there is hope. Our Creator is rich in mercy and forgiveness to those who believe the Gospel, repent of their sins, and put their faith in Jesus Christ.
I love you all and thank you for taking the time to read.
Do you keep God's commandments and obey His word? Have you repented of your sins? Do you try to walk even as He walked? If not, ask yourself: why?
“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” (1 John 2:3-6)
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:9-12)
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3)
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (John 14:21)
“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.” (John 15:10)
“Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.” (1 Corinthians 7:19)
“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” (1 John 3:22-24)
“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Revelation 12:17)
“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” (Revelation 22:14)
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.” (Psalms 111:10)
“Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.” (Psalms 112:1-3)
More notable scripture which speaks about this: Matthew 5:17-48, Matthew 7:22-27, Hebrews 6:4-6, Hebrews 10:26-31, Romans 2:5-13, Romans 13:8-10, James 1:21-27, Psalms 1:1-6, Psalms 103:8-18.
•When God created mankind, He created us in His own image and with His own likeness. We were the showpieces of His creation, the culmination of all created beings. No other creatures were given such similarity to deity – only mankind. Just flesh and bones but made in the image and likeness of God. Unfortunately, because of Adam’s fall, all humanity became sinners by nature and by choice. The result is spiritual separation from God.
•Sin violates God’s perfect law (which reflects His character) and produces untold suffering. God hates sin. So much so in fact that He has deemed the rightful punishment for sin to be everlasting death. But even though you’ve sinned, long ago God devised a plan to save and redeem you.
•God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ) into the world in the flesh to die, as a perfect willing sacrifice and a just payment for our sins. Through His sacrifice Jesus has freely redeemed all those who put their faith in Him in the eyes of His Father (God is Father and Son, they are one). After three days and three nights Jesus was resurrected and has now returned to His Fathers right hand, being exalted as our Lord and King of Kings. He is now our direct line connection to the Father, giving us exclusive access.
•God knows that your bad behaviour (sin) makes you feel bad, so He offers you forgiveness, but first you must confess your bad behaviour to Him and change (repent).
•God offers you a new life, in this life (salvation). He offers this freely by His grace, to all those who repent of their sins, believe the gospel, and put their faith in Jesus Christ, believing in Him as the only begotten son of God that came in the flesh, sinned not, died for our sins, and was three days later resurrected. This is then followed by the receiving of the gift of the Holy Spirit sometime after, which the Father sends in the name of His Son Jesus Christ.
•The Holy Spirit is the very Spirit of God living within you. The Holy Spirit will convict and regenerate you; sanctify, teach, comfort, guide, and preserve you; and empower you for service. It will also compel you to keep the commandments of God and write them on your very heart. Your body will become the temple of God and He will lovingly adopt you as His son/daughter. Oftentimes the Holy Spirit is not received until after a believer is baptized in water and underwent the laying of hands.
•In an act of faith, Jesus Christ calls for all believers to be baptized by full submersion in water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, which is sometimes followed by the laying of hands. This is an outward profession of faith to signify rebirth and cleansing of your sins. Prior to being baptized one must believe in Jesus Christ with all their heart and have repented of their sins. After baptism, a believer is called to regularly celebrate the Lord’s supper; a memorial of Christ’s death in which believers eat the bread and drink from the cup — symbols of His body and blood.
•Satan is described as our adversary and the father of lies who has come to steal, kill, and destroy. Satan managed to convince a third of the angels of heaven to forsake God and follow him. Soon after Satan and his angels (now known as demons) were defeated and kicked out of heaven. Satan is the temporary ruler of this present fallen world and seeks to be worshipped and exalted to the status of God. Jesus Christ has already defeated Satan by willingly laying down His life in our place, and thus those of us who are saved can be comforted that we already have the victory. God is greater than all and no man can pluck you out of His hand.
•God is with us always, even to the end. It is His good pleasure to give us, as His “little flock”, the kingdom. On that faithful day God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things will have passed away. We that overcame shall inherit all things; and God shall dwell with us as Father, and we shall be His sons.
The Gospel is the good news for all…
There is an almighty God who we should fear and give glory to. A God who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. A God who is perfect, just in all his ways and rich in mercy.
God created man in His own image and with His own likeness. We were the showpieces of His creation, the culmination of all created beings. No other creatures were given such similarity to deity – only mankind. Just flesh and bones but made in the image and likeness of God.
As a result of Adam’s decision to rebel in the garden of Eden, we are all sinners by nature and choice, and have fallen short of the Glory of God. The ‘wages’ of sin is death. Thus, we are all justly deserving of everlasting punishment, the destruction of our body and soul in hell. But even though you’ve sinned, long ago God devised a plan to save and redeem you.
God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; Jesus Christ, to die for us, paying the debt for our sins, so that through Him we may be saved. A ‘spotless lamb’ in which there was no sin, the perfect sacrifice or substitute to take our place. This is the gift of God.
After three days and three nights, Jesus was resurrected and exalted to High Priest, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. God recorded all this in the Holy Bible, which God gave to us through the hands of his various chosen prophets, as both a love poem and an instruction book for life. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Jesus Christ promised that all those who believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. To be raised up; the righteous, unto the resurrection of life; and the wicked, unto the resurrection of damnation. This belief is not to be confused with a mere mental belief, but a complete humbling of yourself and a coming to the realisation that only through Christ can you be redeemed, and that Christ is the way, the truth and the life, and nobody comes to the Father but by Him. It is total surrender to Him as both Lord and Saviour. It is having absolute trust in and living by His every word.
If you repent of your sins, believe the gospel, and put your faith in Christ, His promises, and His teachings; you will inherit salvation unto everlasting life. With this salvation comes spiritual rebirth; you are gifted the Holy Spirit which will compel you to surrender to Christ as Lord, obey the commandments of God, to spread the Gospel, to be baptised for the remission of sins and to regularly celebrate the Lord’s supper. Having personally experienced the grace of God in Jesus, a believer trusts God as Creator, Christ as Saviour, and the Holy Spirit as Helper. Christ rewires every aspect of our lives so that the life and power of Jesus flows in us. That is what salvation is, and it goes on forever.
God knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb. It is He that has decided to draw you to Him. God is greater than all and no man can pluck you out of His hand, only you can willingly walk away.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the present darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The devil, who is called Satan, and all his angels, have been cast out from heaven for their choice to rebel against to God. They are our greatest threat in this world, even though at times it seems like it is each other. For Satan works in the hearts and minds of all who are disobedient to God. But fear not, for God is with us always, even unto the end. It is His good pleasure to give us, as His “little flock”, the kingdom.
Those who are poor in spirit shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Those who mourn shall be comforted. Those who are meek shall inherit the earth. Those who hunger for righteousness shall be filled. Those who are merciful shall obtain mercy. Those who are pure in heart shall see God. Those who are peacemakers shall be called children of God. Those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Those who have been reviled, persecuted falsely, and spoken of in all manner of evil for the sake of Jesus shall be blessed. So, rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
On that faithful day God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things will have passed away. We that overcame shall inherit all things; and God shall dwell with us as Father, and we shall be His sons.
In the Bible the origin of the rainbow is clearly defined. Genesis chapter 9, verse 8 to 17 states:
“And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”
As you can see, God created the rainbow after the great flood of Noah’s time, as a covenant with man and every living creature, that He will never flood the earth again.
Unfortunately, in the last 45 years or so, the original meaning of the rainbow has been under attack by our adversary, Satan. Today the most recognized use of a rainbow is to signify the “LGBT Pride” movement. The purpose of this movement is directly contrary to many fundamental tenets of the bible which God views as an abomination. If anyone is curious as to which tenets I am speaking about, please have a read of the FYI section below. It’s worth noting as well that God’s rainbow has 7 colours (which is the number of completeness or divine perfection), whilst the “LGBT Pride” rainbow has 6 colours (which is the number of man).
So, I implore all of you not to forget the covenant from God that the rainbow symbolises. No matter what they try to teach you at school, on the TV, on the radio or on social media. Furthermore, whenever possible we should fight to preserve it’s original meaning and boldly speak the truth, no matter what the perceived consequences may be. Remembering that we should fear God rather than man.
Thank you for listening. I love you all. May the Grace of God and our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
FYI:
The purpose of the “LGBT Pride” movement is to promote pride, homosexual relations, transgenderism, equality of the sexes, cross-dressing and the effeminate man.
-
God finds pride to be an abomination. Proverbs 16:5 – “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.” Proverbs 16:18 – “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
-
God finds homosexual relations to be an abomination. Leviticus 18:22 – “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Leviticus 20:13 – “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” Romans 1:26-27 – “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”
-
God created us as male and female, this is an objective truth dictated by our very DNA and not based upon our feelings. Mark 10:6 – “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.”
-
God did not create man and woman equal; each have their respective strengths and weakness and He has set out a clear hierarchy (although I find it important to stress that He values both man and woman equally). 1 Corinthians 11:3 – “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”
-
God finds a man or woman who dresses in the garments of the opposite sex to be an abomination. Deuteronomy 22:5 – “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”
-
God states that the effeminate man will not inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
Brothers, sisters, and friends, should we trust “the science”? What does scripture have to say about this?
“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen” (1 Timothy 6:20-21)
“Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.” (Jeremiah 7:8)
“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” (Proverbs 29:25)
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” (Proverbs 30:5)
“Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.” (Psalms 40:4)
“In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.” (Psalms 56:11)
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.” (Psalms 118:8-9)

All the ways of a man are clean and right in his own eyes. Yet that does not excuse his faults in God's eyes. God understands your thoughts, motives, and the desires of your heart much better than you do. So much the more reason is there for anxious self-examination and testing the conduct by God's word, and, when this has been done to the best of our ability, still to pray for cleansing from faults which have escaped our notice. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
