I’m writing this story; to encourage the brethren to be more and more bold in these last days – before the rapture.

People everywhere are hurting, lonely and confused with no help in sight and since church is usually the last place people look to for solace and answers, it’s up to Christian laymen to reach out to them any and everywhere we encounter them.

 

Today I awakened with the usual prayers for three people that came to mind then I asked for God to give me an exciting day; one in which I could witness to or encourage someone.

I headed out to the Gym determined to do a little filming for a project I’m in the process of developing. In the midst of this, my I phone went completely dead. Just as I began to get hot under the collar I remembered that “All things work together for those who love God and are the called according to His purpose.” I made a beeline for the nearest Verizon store and was a half hour early since they don’t open until 10 on Saturday.

One other car was ahead of me with two elderly people sitting in the front seat waiting for the doors to open. I went to Home Depot to get a couple of things I needed – just to kill time.

I came back to Verizon five minutes early and already people were beginning to arrive.

The old bent over woman who had been waiting dragged herself out of the car while her elderly brother waited in the car. The new arrivals were approaching the door and she let it be known that she had been waiting “for hours”.

Two employees met us at the door and she went away with one of them while I talked the other one, telling him of my dilemma with relatively new phone.

After toying with the phone, the employee asked me to have a seat at the waiting bar while he fetched some other gadgets to get my phone working again.

The little old lady was sitting two seats away while she also waited.

I asked her what the problem was with her phone and she told me. Pretty soon she was telling me her life story and how that she had emphysema from having smoked for most of her life. She needed an inhaler on occasion, just to be able to breathe. She went from there to telling me she was Jewish, and I told her I was a Christian and how I used to have many Jewish friends in Miami. I didn’t tell her it was my mission to reach out to them but instead told her that we often talked politics and religion.

I told her how I had known a man who lived next door to Bibi’s family who’ father was their Rabbi. She then told me that her older brother had lived in a Kibbutz during the sixties and had later become a wealthy doctor. She told of how he payed all funeral expenses for their mother who had recently died. At this juncture she began to tear up and she wiped the tears with her finger from behind her glasses. My heart went out to her.

The woman continued talking about her condition which led me to give her a short testimony.

At this, I saw her withdraw and instinctively draw back at the name of Jesus Christ. She looked away from me and tried to change the subject. I let things rest. Finally, having not felt threatened by me she came back to our conversation. She told me more.

All the while I was thinking, that everywhere you look today people are sick, hurting and dying with no one caring or even acknowledging them. Apparently, she and her husband were all alone now with the nearest relative hundreds of miles away.

If only her mother were alive – she pined, she cared even if none else did. Tears began making their way down he wrinkled sickly face.

At this I asked her name. Karen, she said, “my name is Karen”.

I arose and asked if she would like for me to pray for her. She quickly said “Oh, please do”.

Laying my hands on her shoulders I began, “Heavenly Father please give Karen rest and relieve her emotional and physical pain. I ask this in Jesus mane – Amen.  All the while people were walking back and forth within a couple of feet from us as I massaged her shoulders and back lovingly. Finally, at Gods prompting I gently kissed her forehead and she exhaled a sigh of relief and after a moment she began thanking me profusely with all humility as tears ran down her cheeks. As a matter of fact, she was still thanking me even as I walked out the door. “Thank you, kind sir,…. thank you, thank you!”

I couldn’t have been happier as I drove away knowing I had touched someone’s life in their hour of need.

Everywhere we turn today people are hurting, floundering and crying out for help – often in silence. We Christians should focus on our fellow man and quit focusing on ourselves. Our fake piety will only get us the recognition and derision we deserve…..Let’s Try loving someone besides ourselves

MOVIES:

A new film is set to release soon, “The Trump Prophecies” will soon be playing at a theatre near you. At the moment Facebook refuses to let them advertise on their platform (citing political correctness). This could be the beginning of shutting down anyone opposed to liberalism.

The storyline is that a fireman had a vision in the of Trump becoming a presidential candidate and winning several years ago. He added, this event will open the door for a good relationship with Israel (which is true). However, you must decide the truthfulness of his prophecy. It seems like everyone is having visions these days.

NOTE: Our church continues to draw people to faith in Christ through the preaching of Dr. Hayes Wicker.  Tune in on FBCN live streaming on Sunday at 9:30 EST on the internet to hear him speak.

The way I see it, the Democrat political party is made up of Socialists, sexual perverts, druggies, criminals, Muslims and clueless people who would circumvent our laws and try to destroy our Christian nation; some just to have their fifteen minutes of supposed fame by burning and defecating on the American flag – in public.

Democrats are so determined to destroy the current administration that they will say or do anything to do so. Things have gotten so out of hand that Democrats will even disrupt Senator Cruz’s meal at a restaurant or issue death threats against a political opponent and their families in their misplaced zeal. These self – righteous hypocritical troublemakers are hard at work to undermine right thinking individuals of all faiths, while, behind the scenes Muslims are laughing and rejoicing at the thought that they may soon be in control and working with the Anti-Christ of which they are a part.

Sex is – for most of us – is one of the most enjoyable experiences we can experience in life, yet we use it and abuse it – causing harm to ourselves and others. Sex is a gift from God, He designed it tour benefit and to procreate a replica of ourselves through this ultimate expression of love between husband and wife. But, have you noticed that most liberals are consumed by it, like the scriptures say, “they are lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.” They condone homosexuality, pedophilia, gay rights and abortion. It seems that God has given them over to a reprobate mind – just like he said he would.

Isn’t it funny how a Democrat president got away with rape, attempted rape and frequent drug use as a governor and no – one said anything. It’s no secret that former president Bill Clinton was a prime example of sexual addiction, yet liberals never mention it. Obama was and is a crack smoking bi-sexual according to Larry Sinclair (a former “lover”) as well as a rabid Muslim. If you don’t believe me, do your own research. Who can forget the homosexual Barney Frank of the Clinton administration? This man ran a “hook up service” for homosexuals from his apartment while in office. Then there are the Podesta brothers John and Tony Podesta. All these perverts seem to think about is money and sex.  When sex hound Anthony Weiner was exposed for pedophilia for the second time and sent to jail, that investigation opened a can of worms exposing many powerful people in Washington D.C. Yet the Democrats resistance and trumped up charges of rape against judge Kavanaugh for a chair on the supreme court proved their hypocrisy.

When even republicans can’t or won’t take a stand for our country’s values – we are in serious trouble. The Republicans voted 10 -12 with ten dissenting against Kavanaugh. How this is going to impact the November elections? My guess is that many of the ten republicans will lose their seats come November and we will be back where we started when Obama left office – in l

Public schools are not exempt from this travesty and instead promotes transgenderism confusing and blurring the lines of human behavior for many impressionable children. Jesus issued this warning for people who promote such things saying, “It would be better for those harming innocent children to be tied to a millstone and dropped into the sea.”

We are in the midst of a battle between right and wrong, a spiritual battle for the minds and souls of mankind, and it’s beginning to look like we’re losing. We conservatives, through years of apathy and adhering to political correctness have made our own bed and now we must deal with the fallout.

I woke up this morning asking God for me to have a spiritually productive day and thought I should visit my mission station- the world-famous Naples fishing pier. I had a good breakfast, went to the gym and afterward made my way to the pier. There I met Ken. Ken was a seeker; a fifty something auto mechanic – he initiated the discourse. “Where’s the Dolphin’s he asked as he approached me. We talked about the red tide and how it affects sea life. I inquired about the type of work he did, “I’m an auto mechanic” he replied. I found our banter exhilarating and at times laughed out loud. I liked Ken right off. There was no pretentiousness nor one-upmanship with this guy. He was down to earth and easy to talk to.

“Are you a Christian?” I enquired.

“Yes, I am – Then taking thought, he said, “I don’t know how anyone cannot believe in God. All you have to do is survey your surroundings.”

With this opening, I quoted scripture, “The heavens declare his glory.” Ken nodded in agreement, this man was a deep thinker – a seeker of truth – I surmised.

Ken went on to say that with promiscuity everywhere you looked, today’s youth were in peril, he said,….“God made sex as an expression of love between a man and a woman. We’ve turned it into a cess pool of garbage.”

It dawned on me that I was writing about this very touchy subject even as we spoke. Ken had nailed it down for me thus confirming that this was a subject that had to be discussed openly before our youth follow the aberrant ways of their elders.

I told Ken that I was writing about that very subject and gave him my two-sided card. He thanked me-almost profusely. I couldn’t help but think that this was a divine appointment.

MOVIES:

The movie “Unbroken – Road to Redemption” about Olympian Louie Zamperini was well executed for a Christian film. I could hardly find fault with it and the message was clear. I just hope it didn’t fall on deaf ears.

NOTE:

In the meantime, my church had over thirty baptisms again last week. Several were Hispanics who might have been leaving the Catholic church because of pedophilia.

There was a time when people used to say, “I don’t discuss politics and religion.” Today, only a fool would say that. It is finally dawning on us how critical it is to have political discourse as pertaining to religion. Like it or not, these two are intrinsically entwined.

Christianity, Judaism and Islam are the prevalent religions in our society with the first two being the foundation stones on which our country is based; yet, you will notice how Islam wants to take over and impose their will on us. Ironically, the communist far left is in coordination with them to create the perfect storm against us right thinking people. We are fighting an uphill battle and we can’t give an inch lest they take a mile.

Corrupt politicians are being indicted every day now and we are just beginning to scrape the surface. If president Trump had not been elected, we would still be in the dark about how rampant corruption is in government.

At the same time there is a movement underfoot that would have us believe that within the next few days or weeks many criminal and treasonous politicians are going to be tried by military tribunals just waiting to bring them to justice.

The worst-case scenario of the fallout from this prosecution is one where the left will retaliate by the prompting of their corrupt leaders, which are already inciting violence to cover their seditious and evil acts before they are outed.

There are possibly even plans to off the president before he can reign them in, and they have a lot to answer for.

Pedophilia, bribery, drug running, subversion, the persecution of innocent people and treason are but a few of the previous administration’s crimes. If these pedophiles, criminals, perverts and the hard left had its way, all Christian churches would be burned to the ground. Thy don’t want any rules or regulations, they want to be free to pillage, rape and rage against those who would do right.

Our country stands at a crossroads, and as everyone knows civil war brings about death and destruction. It is the worse of all outcomes, just look at communist Venezuela, Cuba and the French revolution in which many people died.

We must not let foolish, self-seeking, drug addled, car burning, and looting radicals rule the day.

We will all have to give an account to Almighty God for our actions or inaction on judgment day.

We Christians must take to the poles and vote in great numbers come November to protect our rights and way of life. If not, then we must face the grave prospect of losing the right to pursue happiness and practice our faith.……. We have an obligation to our prodigy to do so without fail.

A kiss is the ultimate show of affection to someone you hold dear, especially if it is done with sincerity. The verse of scripture in the heading of this article always baffled me. Was God really demanding this of us…to kiss someone we barely know and sometimes belittle by our actions and even give doubtful voice to his alleged existence – this one whose name we often use in vain?

No, God was simply warning us out of love and concern for our wellbeing. We really should kiss the Son for reconciling us sinners to Himself and the Father; as the scriptures say, “For there is non – righteous, no not one -for in that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” After all it is he who endured intense pain and humiliation by cruel men and hypocritical religious leaders then give up his earthly existence.

Jesus the Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach in the Hebrew tongue) is coming back soon and He isn’t coming as a lowly sheep this time around, but as a ruler full of wrath mingled with deep sorrow. God isn’t willing that any should perish but some have become so defiled and perverse that they won’t be converted no matter what. Indeed, we should pay due diligence and “kiss” the Son for all He’s done for us – lest He become angry and you perish in the way.

To be sure, God is and has been waiting and pleading for mankind to repent and turn to Him asking forgiveness for ignoring Him and for being ungrateful for all his many blessings.

Now, after offering up his life- a sacrifice for mankind He sits at the right hand of God expecting man to repent and to begin living Godly lives; looking to God for instruction. But it seems that most men and women are ignoring Him and scoffing at this premise found only in God’s word – the Holy bible, which we take ever so lightly.

But is Jesus capable of anger? Haven’t you read the scriptures? You bet He is! He came as a sacrificial lamb to show His love for mankind, after all mankind is his special creation created in His image as is stated in the book of Genesis where God the Father tells co-creator Jesus His Son “Let us make man in our image and in our likeness.”

With time running out and mankind becoming more brutal and ignorant of His sacred atonement for us Jesus must be angry – very angry; wouldn’t you be?

Today, even as we speak, our savior Jesus must be angry at those of us who won’t acknowledge Him even though He knew that this would be the end result of His efforts at reconciliation. The stench of their perverted and willful actions must reach to high heaven.

Jesus came the first time as a willing servant teaching us God’s ways all the time referring to scripture. He never hurt anyone and always accepted all who would hear Him. He healed the sick and set the devils captives free, ultimately, He died for our sins. The next time He will return as a lion and anyone not acknowledging Him will pay the price for ungratefulness and outright rebellion.

For those of you who think any religion will do – (like pope Frances) you should read the bible where it says, “There is a way that seems right to man, but the end thereof is the way of death.”

Then there are other arguments such as “But, what about those that haven’t heard about Jesus?” Again, I ask, haven’t you read scripture where it says, “God will judge those according to the light that is within them.” Jesus claimed to be the light of the world.

Others might even ask about good works, the “good book” says, “You are saved by grace not of works lest any man should boast.” No, we can’t please God with our religiosity and or good works.

Divine Appointment’s have become a way of life for me and I always try to keep the lines of communication open to anyone I might encounter. Gratefully, I’m a gregarious type of person who can talk to anyone about anything.

Let me share another little story with you.

While at the gym yesterday, I met a young Haitian man working out on the triceps machine. He was huge and muscular, but he let out with a big white toothy grin that made me think he might be a Christian. (On the other hand, it might have been the prompting of the Holy Spirit or spiritual discernment.)

In any case, I smiled back and thought he must be a Christian with a smile like that. I then asked if he was a Christian to which he replied, “I’m not sure, … I was raised in the Christian church.” I felt moved to say, “Well then, you must be a back slider.” The young man’s smile got bigger, – but with a twinge of uncertainty. Then he replied, “Yes you’re right.” “Well then, you’d better repent because Jesus is coming back soon to take the believers away.” If Jesus is truly coming back in the clouds to take away believers – then backsliders, closet Christians, fence sitters and the apathetic had better repent and get ready to meet their maker.

I walked away to do my leg exercises on the stationary bike and after a while I saw the young man pass by in front of me – walking out the door – with the look of serious contemplation on his face.

Lastly, I want all my readers to know that it was reported on the John Tesh radio show that some businesses are beginning to implant employees in the back of the hand in the fleshy part between the thumb and forefinger to make it so that they can be scanned to access their bank accounts.

At the same time the implements, the Cohen and the red heifer are being readied for the third Temple. Also, war against Israel could break out in the middle east any day.

Anyone who knows scripture knows what that means. For those who don’t know, it means that we are living in the end times and that the rapture could happen at any time.

Ignorance has always been with us, but it was well hidden behind masks of righteousness even with the peace and love hippy movement. Today, it’s in your face brutality and amorality in America and around the world.

Here in America the dumbing down began to get really serious with Bevis and Butthead. Sure, there’s always been silly back and forth in the entertainment industry especially with comic characters, but these guys took it all to another level where nothing was sacred anymore. What with the sniveling remarks and inuendo by these two weirdo’s America began it’s decent into depravity. Then came the Jackass team of outrageous and dangerous stunts laughing all the while at their thoughtless antics. But these pranks were physically and culturally dangerous. Do you remember how they used pay a drunken bum two bucks to ride in a runaway shopping cart careening downhill and laugh when the thing crashed? The inebriated bums had nothing to lose but what little pride they might have had – all for a bottle of sweet Lucy. Drunkenness is no laughing matter, and neither is a fallen human being, but young people loved it all.

Today there are videos being done on the internet that promote other crazy stunts that might depict a young man with his clothes on fire jumping into a swimming pool. If you’ve ever been burned you know that the pain is incredible. Fire is nothing to play with. Nevertheless, little boys will try anything on a dare.

Young children are falling prey to this evil as well; what with Catholic priest pedophiles and corrupt teachers, teaching and doing things to children who are too young to understand and not being able to defend themselves, often ruining their emotional and spiritual lives.

“Naked and afraid” is the name of a popular television reality show where a woman goes about in the wilderness without a stitch of clothing and appearing to be afraid of her own shadow.

There are gay pride parades throughout most of the world, even in Jesus home state. The parade of fearsome looking creatures walk about shamelessly naked and dressed like the perverts they are. It must have been the same during the time of Sodom and Gomorrah – and we all know what happened to them. Recently over seventy people over dosed on hard drugs in a park where they were shooting up, snorting and ingesting pills. Americans continue being dumbed down and deceived by the millions, (Some even going so far as committing suicide) by the father of lies- the great deceiver Satan.

The burning man celebration begins the last week in August in the Black Rock Dessert in Nevada. This is all about human sexuality where promiscuous people are free to do what they will while naked.

The Apostle Paul tells Timothy in his second letter what to expect in the end times, in which he says, “But know this , that perilous times will come; for men will be lovers of themselves self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers’ without self- control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away. For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts. Always learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

And then there are the fruits of the Spirit as mentioned in the bible, which are;

Love,

Joy,

Peace,

Longsuffering,

Gentleness,

Goodness,

Faith,

Meekness,

Temperance:

against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  Galatians5:22-26 King James Version (KJV)

Do you possess them?

“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.”

Note:

My Catholic neighbor doesn’t say much these days, but there are meetings taking place with much soul searching in her church. On the other hand, another neighbor asked me from across the fence, “The world is going mad what’s going on?”

“Jesus is coming back soon” I answered.

More and more wolves are sneaking into our churches, learning institutions and government. Take for example the over 300 Catholic priests that are systematically raping our children and making them emotional cripples and eventual God haters. These are people who claim to be the voice of God.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, perverts, pedophiles and other evil people are well entrenched in our society’s sub-structure and are destroying our country and people.

A retired neighbor is a very devout Catholic and she takes great pride in being one. She once told me that a friend of hers had won a lottery and invited her to Rome to meet the then pope. This meeting was the highlight of her life. She says that when she met the man and looked into his face he had the most beautiful blue eyes you can imagine. All the while I’m thinking, what has that got to do with anyone’s depth of faith? I’ve got to set this poor woman straight I thought.

For the past several days the reports are coming in concerning the over 300 Catholic priests accused of pedophilia in Pennsylvania. There are fifty states in the union, which means that even if there are half that many in states of the same size it would amount to thousands of these perverts being well intrenched in that religion and what a better way to have your cake and eat it too -and they get paid as well – to say nothing of the perks. The Apostle Paul warns us that there would be great apostacy in the last days, and indeed there is. This spiritual shaking may add to the great falling away of many believers that is also prophesied in the bible.

These wolves in sheep’s clothing have destroyed the emotional lives and faith of many children and should be held accountable; but it shouldn’t be surprising that they may only receive a slap on the wrist as usual.

A few months ago, a number of priests were found to be pedophiles in Venezuela and Brazil. The pope condemned their actions and the offenders dropped off the radar – melting back into the crowd. Chances are they will be transferred to other localities – as is their way of covering things up.

I had been thinking of a way to tell my neighbor without destroying her so called faith based on tradition, heresy and pomp. I finally found the right words to tell her today. (Apparently, God had set up this divine appointment for me.)

After I complimented her on her jogging apparel I said, “Did you hear about the priests in Pennsylvania?” She said, “Yes, I know all about it, my priest was practically in tears and begged us not to leave the church. He said they were going to do something about it.” I thought too little, too late this great charade is over – or should be. Her Catholic church has a thousand or more members.

The next day she was back in her church and is there right now even as we speak. I intend to find out what was said and done and will report what transpired. I may even go there myself to hear first hand what is being said and proposed. I also plan to invite her to my church First Baptist of Naples to get some sound bible teaching. Then it’s in God’s hands. I hope she agrees to come.

The Catholic church is in deep trouble.

Our learning institutions are also bedeviled by these perverts which are teaming with atheists as well, even in seminary. It’s hard to believe that the first learning institutions in the USA were begun to honor God – most of them Christian schools.

The following comments are excerpted from the Tea Party Tribune.

President Obama’s Safe School Czar wrote the forward to a book called, Queering Elementary Education. Through the promotion of the gay lifestyle along with confusing young children of their sexual identification or classification, these children are left confused and vulnerable to sexual predators.  Linda Harvey, an LGBT activist for equal rights for pedophiles, stated, “It’s all part of a plan to introduce sex to children at younger and younger ages to convince them that normal friendship is actually a sexual attraction.”

Many may not know that pedophiles have protected status since “sexual orientation” is protected under the Matthew Shephard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.  When Republicans attempted to remove pedophilia from protected status, the Democrats objected and defeated the amendment with Alcee Hastings (D-FL) stating that all alternative lifestyles should be protected under the law.

The Democrats know a push for legalizing pedophilia opens the door for Sharia Law and even approving child marriage.  More “gay” friendly laws lay the foundation to accept pedophilia as the term; “minor-attracted person” is being introduced.  There are those who are even advocating the legalization of child pornography, contending that it helps prevent pedophiles from become child molesters.

These children are victims and live a secret life of fear, confusion, and even suicidal thoughts while another secret society of Democrats are pushing a secret agenda to protect and promote pedophiles at the cost of our children.

As much as we’d like to box God into our own way of thinking or to confine Him to our reality, we can’t. He does what He wants, said he would do and is going to do. President Trump is a good case in point. Who would have thought a mere run of the mill successful man could be elevated to the position of an American president? I’m being facetious of course but just think about it, the president before him was only a rabble rouser, drug addict, sexual deviant and a Muslim to boot.  Apparently, this was done by the Almighty to bring down the haughty criminals in our government.

Is he stoppable? certainly not. Is there anything He can’t do? No. Consider the many universes out there in the heavenlies which are constantly expanding out even further and no one can stop them. Our Devine Creator is amazing and unfathomable. To think we can improve on his ways or his word, (the Holy Bible) is complete and utter folly. Even so, many Christians pretend or really believe to know God better than he knows himself.

Just when our Christian country was at the brink of collapse by those who would do us harm -God intervenes with this man who would confound the “wise” turning the whole world on its ugly head. A world fraught with revelry, confusion, criminality and fear. This is a man who says things that right-thinking people were all thinking. The words just tumble out of his mouth and from his fingers on twitter without a second thought. How clever it is for him to circumvent the press – who would have put words in his mouth or skewered the facts – no matter how noble.

By this miraculous happenstance we should know that like it or not- God is in control

Some of us have studied in seminary others in bible classes and they think they know as much as they need to know about the God of the universe. Still though, He is even grander than we might imagine and cannot be boxed into our way of thinking. To think that He is only manlike with special abilities is being shortsighted. Can we make anything, anything at all just by calling it into being? Why we can’t raise the dead or even so much as create an egg. Jesus can and did.

Yet too many Christians believe that God is their Santa Claus and that he will give them anything they please when we have all we really need on a daily basis. Jesus said, “You already have a life and a body and if God so clothe the lilies of the field won’t he so clothe you?”

This mighty and awesome God can and does, work miracles – even today. The problem is that most of us want results now – and that without even being thankful for our daily bread – especially in public. Did it ever occur to you that sometimes God must set things in order to deliver on your prayer something like bringing a reluctant player into your life? I’m sure there are many players and participants who just won’t budge until they are forced to do so on your behalf. Others just want to remain sleeping under a rock. But not to worry, God will eventually bring things about to our benefit, while at the same testing us.

In any case, whatever the outcome, it is ultimately for your benefit if you belong to Him. “All things work together to those who love God and are the called according to his purposes.” The secret to really knowing God is to do his bidding in accordance with his written word. Who doesn’t enjoy and want to gift an obedient child, especially if that child belongs to you?

Jesus said to learn of God, to love God and your fellow man, “Thou shall love the Lod thy God with all thine heart soul and mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.” That scripture verse leads me to write about an encounter I had recently with a homeless man.

I met the man in the Florida Keys while diving for lobster. He was sitting on a plot of land that once held a popular restaurant that was destroyed by hurricane Irma. The plot of land was like a tiny island surrounded by submerged rocks which made it an ideal place to get lobster. Jose sat alone on one of the boat ramps remains. Sitting in the shade of a palm tree he was drinking a beer. Feeling the urge to do so, I approached the fifty something year old Cuban man. Surprisingly, he was friendly and articulate despite his looks. Sporting a deep tan, he let it be known that he was a Christian – but not a Catholic.

Without prompting he began talking about the state of the nation and about the end times when I told him I was also a Christian. We must have talked for an hour or more. Sensing that the man did not have much interaction with others I let him use me as a sounding board. He told me his life story and how his wife had left him ten years earlier to raise a daughter and pursue a life of drug use. He put her through collage and today she is a medical technician somewhere up north.

In any case, the man was not a loser but was only waiting to recover benefits from medical problems due to his work as a heavy equipment operator. He lived on that island in the bushes not wanting to burden others with his infirmities.

As we talked about spiritual matters I corrected some misconceptions he had about the rapture and end times. He welcomed the things I shared with him as he asked questions. I finished the divine appointment by asking if he wanted prayer – the man gave me his hand to do so.

Everything we do for power, self-esteem, is folly; eventually all life ends, and you can’t take anything with you. Even king Solomon said “Vanity, vanity, all is vanity”. Life without a sense of purpose and God is futile. Is it any wonder there are so many suicides in our country? Even celebrities and the wealthy are doing hanging it up literally – and that by doorknobs.

Only in God’s loving arms can we find peace and safety.

You’ve got to go to www.fbcnand view last Sundays sermon, the 12^thof August.  Pastor Hayes Wicker is one of the last great bible expositors in this time of apostacy. There are no cheesy tears and phony cracking voice with this man of God.

Our lovely soloist Lindsey Graham came back to us after a trip away. She never fails to uplift us with her many talents and professionalism. You can see her perform last Sunday the 12^thon the same website. What a gem!

It’s sad but true, many people today say they don’t believe in the God of the bible, probably for fear that it would put restrictions on their sordid life style. A lifestyle of promiscuity, drunkenness and /or drug abuse. The Ten Commandments mean nothing to them. They are those who would stop up their ears and close their minds to God’s word. They don’t want to acknowledge the blatant/in your face reality of God although our surroundings declare His Glory. How can you look about you and not see the reality of a Divine Creator? Obviously, they’ve been blinded by the Evil One – Satan.

Many of the politicians in Washington D.C. have turned this country on its head with their socialist ideology and greed, an ideology where right is wrong and wrong is right.

Democrats and even some Republicans are both culpable and some of the atrocities that were perpetrated by recent administrations are finally coming to light. Today, many of the politicians that were thoroughly ensconced in those previous administrations are retiring so as not to be caught up in the ever- widening net of justice. Others are being prosecuted and still others have gone to jail, thus fulfilling a bible promise, “Be sure your sins will find you out.”

Then of course, we have other so-called gods who would advocate for fear, confusion, hate, murder and Sharia. Incredibly, the religion of Islam whose god is Allah, and which is opposed to all others had infiltrated recent administrations and the entire country’s legal system and the highest echelons of society including our learning institutions.

Now, that isn’t to say that the present incoming crop is not without fault. Some conservatives are just as bad.

Most of us have been there and done those very things ourselves, but Christ has delivered us from such folly by dying for our sins. The Apostle Paul says in the book of Romans, “Who will deliver me from this life of death, I thank God that Jesus Christ….”

On the other hand, you have those who seek after the God of the bible, (usually after they’ve come to the end of their rope) and repent, receive Christ and are saved from judgement. “For by grace are you saved and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God lest any man should boast.”

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true and benevolent God. We were made to be without a care in the world. As a matter of fact, that was God’s intent for mankind all along. He wanted us to enjoy the fruits of our labor and to look to Him for help in times of trouble. He wanted us to rely on Him for all our needs as well. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a gracious and just God.

That being said, God’s people should be more upright than all others and stand up for what is right and good for themselves and others. By upright I mean to be what we were meant to be with the potential to do good and live an upright life. This should be our ideal human nature, but it isn’t. This is what we were meant to be but aren’t, all because of our disobedience in the garden of Eden. Now our natural state is one of rebellion. But we who are born again through faith in Christ have the victory and can live above the fray without fear or apprehension knowing we serve the One True God. All other supposed gods lead to poverty of soul, death and destruction.

Ultimately, we “Believers “can rely on the promises of our one true God.  “Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary – they shall walk and not faint.”

Movies:

Believe it or not a new film is about to be introduced in early October. This after a long dry spell of faith films – (none of which were very successful at the box office.) But I like the title of this one – “The Trump Prophecies”, I just hope they feature some good stories, actors, narrative, lighting, sound and music since all these things go a long way in making for a good movie.

In the meantime, the movie “Death of a Nation” by Dinesh D’ Sousa has been playing around the country. The audience was made up of mostly older people and comprised of about 40 to fifty people. Dinesh is a former president of Kings College, a Christian school in New York City. Today he is a gifted writer and filmmaker.

I’m sure that those in attendance got their moneys worth of information – if not entertainment.

As a matter of fact, the early critiques coming out of Hollywood (A bastion of sodomites, pedophiles and rapists) condemn Dinesh for portraying Trump as a true patriot and leader with all his supposed flaws. However, we Christians know that all men are imperfect and that the bible says it is God who sets up a countries leader. (Consider Obama for our chastening.)

Both films named above have our president Donald Trump featured in them. This is ironic to those who don’t know scripture. For the scriptures say, “God has used the base things of the world to confound the “wise.”

Another inspirational film is on the horizon – it is the conversion story of Frank Zamperini (remember the movie “Unbroken”?) Well, this movie tells the rest of that first story.

Until next time,

Do yourself a favor and check out FBCN on the internet for sermons by Pastor Hayes Wicker.

 

 

“Let’s take stock of ourselves: Why is the divorce rate among Christians no better than among unbelievers? Is the “Gospel” preached in your church? What is the status of Biblical literacy in your fellowship? Is our Christianity lukewarm?”

“There are many who lay the blame for the astonishing and sinister years of the Holocaust in Germany in the 1940s at the feet of the silent pulpits in Germany. Let’s take stock of ourselves: Why is the divorce rate among Christians no better than among unbelievers? Is the “Gospel” preached in your church? Can you even define it? (1 Cor 15:1–4). What is the status of Biblical literacy in your fellowship? Is there an effective program underway to improve it? (We could continue to explore the impending enslavement of America, but that’s a topic for another article!)

We can’t help but notice the silent exodus of people slipping out the back doors of many churches almost unnoticed: attracted but not retained; interested but not inserted into fellowship; touched but not transformed. They looked in briefly but were disappointed in what they saw. We also notice that many serious believers shun the label “Christian”; they meet during the week in study groups, but have not found a Sunday fellowship they find fruitful or challenging.”
Excerpt from Khouse.org article

The popular view—fostered by liberal preaching—clings to several
equivalent paths:

The Psychological Gospel

• Popular psychology: “How to overcome…”; “How to think
creatively…”; “How to think affirmatively or positively”; “We’re
on our way, upward and onward forever.”

• The desperate decay of our society speaks for itself.

The Social Gospel

“A sermonette preached by the preacherette to Christianettes.”
— J. Vernon McGee

“Good is better than evil because its nicer and gets you into less
trouble.”

“A church made up of a mild-mannered man standing before a group of
mild-mannered people, urging them to be more mild-mannered.”

Jesus to the church at Laodicea:

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert
cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased
with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou
art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel
thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white
raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness
do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open
the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To
him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:15-22

This seems, indeed, to describe the church in America. The seven “overcomer” promises need to be studied, and understood… The 20th verse—so often used in an altar call—is actually a most disturbing indictment of all: Jesus is outside trying to get in! (In contrast to the other six churches profiled in His seven letters…))

Christian Socialism

The modern church preaches more on social relations, pacifism, social justice, et al., and is really an instrument leading to Christian socialism. In contrast, when the True Gospel is preached, men come to Christ and become members of God’s forever family. The real solution to man’s problems can come only through the grace of God.

God creates out of nothing. Until man is nothing, God can make nothing
out of him.
—Martin Luther

The Coming Apostasy

An ominous cloud is on the horizon—both in this epistle and on our own! Apostasy is not due to ignorance; it is deliberate error and heresy. It is intentional. An apostate is one who knows the truths of the gospel and the doctrines of faith and has repudiated them. Apostasy = “total desertion of the principles of faith.”

“When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Lk18:8). The Greek grammatical construction requires a negative answer…

Excerpted from an exposition on the pastoral epistles compiled by Chuck Missler.

By Jim Towers

The bible states that “Although all men are liars, God is not.” “God is not man that he should lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?” Numbers 23:19
If God says something, you can take it to the bank.

Once upon a time in America it used to be that a man’s word was his bond but that was a long time ago. People were ostracized for lying and cheating back then – at least in my neighborhood and among my family, friends and acquaintances. Most people believed in God and many shuddered at the thought of his vengeance on such as knowingly and wantonly committing sin. Today, many young people hardly believe in this sovereign God and some don’t even believe in God at all.

Today corruption is so common that people take such behavior for granted and find it hard to believe anything anyone says.

Politics in our country has opened a pandora’s box of corruption – big time. Teachers, professors, and some Christian denominations have caused young people to question morality and the existence of God.

With false teachings infiltrating and permeating Christianity through manmade cults on the internet, television and with weird philosophies pervading our society we are fast becoming a hate filled – Godless society.

Amid this craziness, today’s youth are desperately seeking something to believe in and truth; and many are dying in search of it.

We have let them down. The gospel and other simple truths only found in the BIBLE are the only thing that changes life and gives hope to those who are dying inwardly without absolute truth.

Our youth and the lost in our society must be told how and where to find truth. To do this, we must tell them to believe that Jesus Christ is who he claimed to be (God bearing witness too at his baptism) because without faith it is impossible to please God. We must believe that He is and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”. This can only be done through the Holy Spirits intervention when we repent and receive Christ’s forgiveness by asking for it and by receiving Him into our hearts and lives. Upon receiving Christ, we can learn about Him, His teachings and promises in the Holy Bible with spiritually opened eyes.

With things coming to a head we must come to the realization that there is only one way to encounter truth. That is by knowing “truth incarnate” embodied in Christ Jesus and reading and studying the bible on a regular basis. Only by Christ’s teachings can they hope to encounter God and find meaning for their lives. Jesus said, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”

The benefits of knowing God’s word (the bible) are endless. Below are just a few of them.

“I will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on me.”
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
“Ask and you shall receive – knock and it shall be opened to you.”
“God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted, but will with the temptation, make a way of escape that you will be able resist it.”
“I without faith it is impossible to please God. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.”
“The word of God is swift and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

I witness to my 431 Facebook friends daily, on things of a political and/ or spiritual nature. I do so by perusing the daily news on the internet and assimilating those things that are found to be informative to those seeking truth. I don’t relish having to warn them of things to come or the error of their ways since I am also a sinner saved by the grace of God. But I’m compelled to do so.

Recently, I had to eliminate a couple of people from my Facebook page who were trying to frustrate me with things that didn’t really matter as far as doctrine is concerned. Things like the word rapture not being found in scripture. Anyone who studies the bible will soon learn that God doesn’t always spell things out in detail. But what does a person do with the “Thief in the night” passage or “in the twinkling of an eye” or “Come up hither”? Better yet how about, “Two will be lying in the bed, one taken and the other one left. Two will be in the field, one taken and the other one left”? Aren’t those passages self-explanatory?

Books:

Since I believe that politics and religion have much in common in shaping our society I am looking forward to reading judge Jeanine Pirro’s new book “liars, leakers, and liberals” (By the way, she was run off from the television show “The View” with a barrage of hate filled expletives by Woopie Goldberg.)

Movies:

Denish de Sousa has just wrapped a documentary titled “Death of a Nation”. The release date is Aug 3rd of this year. I want to see this informative film when it comes out.
Dr. Hayes Wicker gave an excellent sermon on this topic last Sunday. The title of his sermon was “Tooth Decay”. It can be seen on FBCN livestreaming on the internet. Just click on sermon of July 15. On www.fbcn.org. It’s a humdinger!
