 END OF DAYS

There is coming a time, and it seems closer now than farther away, when a world “leader” will arise at the culmination of the chaos that we see brewing all around us today. He will promise peace and safety for the whole world IF ONLY the nations will surrender their sovereignty to him. His claim to being able to provide world peace will be preceded with sensory-overwhelming signs, miracles and wonders. These phenomena will not confirm anything he claims, but will proceed his claims so as to cast a spell of awe over the peoples of the earth.

In direct contrast, the miracles done by Jesus Christ and by the Holy Spirit through the church down through the ages have been manifested to confirm the Word of God proclaimed. Jesus Christ even did many miracles away from the crowds to not call attention to Himself. True Holy Spirit signs and miraculous wonders will always point to Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the only Savior of humanity.

The demonic signs and wonders done by the world “leader” I referred to will not point to Jesus Christ at all. They will be done to attempt to reinforce the claim of this rising “leader” that he is, in fact, God come to earth to save it. The deception will be swallowed by most because they have refused to love the Truth that has already been revealed in Jesus Christ.

Thessalonians 2:9-12 “ This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.  He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the Truth that would save them. So, God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.”

God’s Word makes it clear that those who are indeed on their way to eternal destruction are on that way BECAUSE they have refused to love God’s love for them; they have refused to accept God’s Truth that could save them. God’s Love and Truth grounded solely in the Life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the means of God’s grace for all who will believe Him. There is salvation in no other. There is forgiveness of sin and wickedness in no other.

God will “give over” those who refuse the Truth to a strong delusion, letting them go their own way which will end in eternal destruction. But they don’t have to experience that if they will only turn from self and turn to God that they might actually become whole and fully human again. There is still time left to repent, but time is running out. The day will come when there will not be time to turn, for Judgement will fall. Please, believe and receive what God has done for you in Christ Jesus!

WHAT DO YOU BLESS? It would be an act of utter folly and disaster were I to choose to "bless" what God will not bless. God's wrath is set against anything and anyone that would try and hinder you becoming all He created you to be and to grow in by being united to Him through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing arbitrary about the Word of God. He is very specific on what will make for life and what will not. Human life only becomes human life when the Holy Spirit becomes Life withing a believer. Being united to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus becomes a new creation and begins to live Life as God intended. God begins the good work, and He is the One who will bring it to competition. Somethings will NEVER make for life. What God calls sin, missing the mark of what will make for life, is always sin regardless of what culture anywhere and anytime say to the contrary. Sin cannot save, heal, redeem, restore or remake...

BEWARE DECEPTION   Deuteronomy 18:9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 12:29-30 “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’ Pragmatics was the downfall of Israel when they took possession of the Promised Land. To the unredeemed eye, it seemed that the fertility gods and agricultural gods of the pagan nations actually were helping the indigenous peoples. Just because something works does not make it right or good.  God promised to prosper His people if they would trust Him to the point of obeying His Word. God's Word is not empty. When He directs and commands, it is always for...

 THE FOLLY OF IDOLATRY Martin Luther said that the human heart is an idol factory. The truth is that we were created to know and live by the gracious rule of and in the Presence of God who created us. Our peace, our understanding of meaning and purpose can only be truly grounded in God who created us for that meaning and purpose. The rebellion of Adam and Eve, their decision to do the opposite of what God said would make for life, resulted in spiritual and ultimately physical death. They chose to believe they needed something more than what God had provided. Their doomed attempt to try and live life without reference to God as the ground of meaning and purpose did not make life fuller, but emptied it. They wanted to decide what was good and what was evil without God and the disintegration of human life was the consequence. Rather than living in the Presence of God and by the gracious rule of God all around them, they turned from wholeness to brokenness, from fulfilment to scarc...
