YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE
ARE YOU TOO...
WORSHIPING A GOD OF FAILURE...
A God
Who always has to go from plan A to plan B
A God
Who is running a "disaster control operation" from heaven
A God
Who supposedly created creatures
HE CANNOT CONTROL
Creatures that will wreck His original plan
The foolish and unscriptural teaching
is that God created a PERFECT archangel
who then SINNED AND REBELLED AGAINST God
But ... BUT,
here is the evil in this teaching:
God did not INTEND,

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE (Part 2)
I believed in the Trinity ...and then I looked for myself
The Trinity as defined by
Hastings Dictionary of the Bible Page 1015:
The Christian doctrine of God
as existing in three Persons and one Substance
is not demonstrable by logic or scriptual proof
Regardless, those that believe in and teach the Trinity
believe that it is, "...a necessary "hypothesis"
that there are three persons to the Godhead:
God the Father
The Holy Ghost (Spirit)

THE AWAKENING...YOU'VE BEEN WRONG ALL ALONG!!
Jesus came by Water and Blood
not by Water only
but by Water and Blood
in other words:
Jesus came by Baptism and Death
not by Baptism only
but by Baptism and Death
Not everyone claiming the Blood of Christ
will stand before him at his coming
Therefore, not everyone
claiming the Blood of Christ
will be able to SEE and UNDERSTAND
the "WATER" aspect of SALVATION
Not even if GOD himself,
PAINTED THEM A PICTURE!!
But wait- He did indeed paint ever… Continue

Why the Gospel really is the "GOOD NEWS" for ALL mankind
Christ spoke ONLY in parables
when talking with the masses,
Matt 13:34
"ALL these things spake Jesus unto the multitude
in PARABLES; and without a parable spake He NOT unto them"
PARABLES ARE SPIRITUAL
A parable is a story
that contains in figurative or symbolic language
a higher moral or spiritual truth
Parables are HIGHER, SPIRITUAL,
GLORIOUS teachings of ETERNAL things
Literally
they are of little consequence;
Spiritually

Which Church and Where Is It ?
Jesus Christ said
"I will BUILD My church..."(Matt 16:18)
James understood that there was a church
to be built among the Gentiles:
"After this I will return and will BUILD again
the tabernacle of David..."(Acts 15:15-16)
Paul instructs us further
in this building process of the church
"According to the grace of God
which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder,
I have laid the foundation,
and another builds thereon
But let every man TAKE HEED
HOW HE BUILDS the… Continue

When you are believing God for something, sometimes it gets hard to hold on. One of the most effective strategies is to remember what He has done in the past and praise Him for it. After all He is unchangeable, unshakable, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. To that end, this was a post I had blogged about last year and I am reposting it to testify once more about the goodness of God. He has been so good to me, and though I may have struggles, though I may have troubles, I can count on my sa… Continue

God is not...
operating a "disaster control center"
from his throne of the universe
He is not trying to "pick up the pieces"
of a totally unexpected tragedy
that he never saw coming
He is not trying to "figure out" a way
to somehow to get things back
to being as good as they once were
He is not
trying to "figure out" a way to out smart Satan-
and he is not "falling behind" numerically
as far as how many will be saved
and how many will be lost
God has a plan,
and he is working out that plan… Continue

As always, the God of Perfect Love has a Perfect Plan
2Peter 3:9
The Lord is...not willing that ANY should perish
Rom 11:32
For God hath concluded them... ALL ... in UNBELIEF,
that he might have mercy upon ALL
1Tim 4:10
because we trust in the living GOD,
who is the SAVIOUR of ALL men,
specially (but not only) of those that believe
1Tim 2:4
Who will have ALL men to be SAVED
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth
Luke 3:6
And ALL flesh shall see the salvation of God
John 12:32
And I, i… Continue

There's something innate in every woman that allows us to understand this commercial perfectly. No, not the sandwiches--the jealousy, of course! In the average female mind, that some other woman is jealous of her (for any of a variety of reasons) is something of a compliment.
Yes, the spot is an amusing and witty celebration of two halves of the breaking of the 10th Commandment. Sadly, women… Continue

I've been reading The Good Girl Revolution over the weekend and will be posting a review of it in the coming days. Due to all the issues that young people face today, having to contend with an overly sexualized society and made to feel bad about being good, it's no wonder there is so much depression and despair among our youth. But I can't help but to probe a bit deeper into the disconnect between those who should be our role models and those who actually are--if this is a core issue with regard… Continue

At the 2008 VH1 music awards, singer Jordin Sparks challenged show host Russell Brand on his ridicule of promise rings, rings that signify a pledge to remain sexually pure until marriage. Standing up to the lies of 2nd and 3rd wave feminism, Sparks is one of many young women demanding a change in perspective. For them, the spirit of feminism is about opportunity and freedom, not rights at the expense of dignity and self-respect. This is the essence of what author Wendy Shalit calls The Good Girl… Continue

Will you DIE IN YOUR SINS?
There is not anything in this life
that would be more devastating-
than to die in your sins
And if you truly believe that to be true
And there was even the slightest chance
that this indeed could happen to you
Would you not drop everything-
and immediately address this issue!!
I mean:
How serious... is your professed walk in Christ?
If you died today-
Would you be able to stand before Christ without sin?
Well today is the day you can know for certain-
just how… Continue

As an effect of sin, humans are deeply driven toward autonomy, preferring to live independent of God’s authority instead of within the shelter of his divine sovereignty. This is the temptation to which Eve would surrender. Instead of a life dependent on God, she evaluated on the basis of her self-appointed authority that the fruit of the forbidden tree was beautiful and an acceptable source for knowledge and sustenance. God was no longer necessary in her new view of the world because she chose i… Continue

Discouragement and desperation are tools that the enemy uses to keep us from reaching our goal in Christ. From the beginning of time many have given up their dreams and hopes due to the incessant assaults from the enemy. This is why we are admonished in 2 Corinthians 10:5 to cast down every imagination and thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
There are times we will feel like we want to concede defeat. The pressures of life dig at you without mercy. The relentl… Continue
The story about the woman from California who recently gave birth to 8 babies through IVF has stirred up what is, in my opinion, a very odd sense of moral outrage. "Who is she to have 14 kids, wasn't 6 enough?" "She still lives with her parents? With all those kids?" And my favorite, "It's not like she did it naturally" as if the method of accumulation should make any difference.
I am not suggesting that the use of ARTs (assisted reproductive technologies) hasn't proven to be a disastrous slipp… Continue

The caterpillar knows his assignment; he understands and recognizes his season of change. He does not fear or fight against it but willingly positions himself to embrace and endure the severe process of metamorphosis.
He does not despise his beginnings because he understands that the matrix of his world as a caterpillar is only a temporary form that carries his future. The ‘caterpillar’ is the larval stage of what he’s been created to be, a butterfly. He knows that beneath his uncomely exterior… Continue
Change, while good, is not always an easy transition. Many of us want change but have a hard time making the necessary adjustments to make it possible.
Think about the caterpillar before its transition into a butterfly. It goes through a rigorous transformation called metamorphosis. During its larval stage it crawls on the ground to nourish on plant life until its pupa stage. When the larva is fully-grown, it stops feeding and begins drifting in quest for a suitable pupation site. Once it has r… Continue
Last year, I had the pleasure of visiting several homes for the Annual Rose Tour in Whitewright. I was awestruck by the diversity of each garden as we went from house to house.
I saw backyards filled with roses, irises, birdhouses, ponds, and many other gorgeous bouquets of plant life. The flowers generated an amazing ambiance that perfumed the air with pleasant aromas. I saw and smelled honey suckles for the first time and had the pleasure of tasting one too.
What struck me the most was the d… Continue
There are “wildflowers” that grow in their natural state rather than being cultivated in the parks or gardens, yet, they tell of the splendor and brilliance of God’s glorious design. While not all “wildflowers” are bad, God has placed them in unique places, i.e. highways and by-ways, meadows, pastures, and fields. Remarkably, they can also be found in remote and secluded territory.
The Lily of the Valley is a type of believer that grows in the deep and difficult places of life. This serv… Continue
