Jesus:  “Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Scribe and the Pharisees you shall in no wise enter Heaven.” (Our minimum must exceed their maximum).  Jesus: “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father…” John: “Anyone who runs on ahead [of God] and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God…..If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine [is disloyal to what Jesus taught], do not receive him…………For he who wishes him success [who encourages him, wishing him Godspeed] is a partaker in his evil doings.” The TRUTH is that God’s Word is His will

Democrat Party is Antichristian

It is a proven fact Christians can no longer be Democrats and support their agenda. All that has to be done is compare the Democrat political platform with the Bible and you will know that is a fact.

I am not judging individuals but judging the Democratic Party’s platform against God’s  WORD.

Wait and Tread Water

A few years ago I almost drowned in a storm at sea in the Gulf of Mexico when I found myself swimming far from shore, having tried to reach my drifting boat.  I got into that predicament through my own stupidity, something not unusual at all.  I can remember saying, “Well, this is it.”  The waves were seven or eight feet high, and the sky was dark with gale force winds and lightning.  I was drifting out to sea when the Word of the Lord came to me and saved my life.  What I thought He said was, “I’m here, Larson, and you’re not coming home as soon as you think.  Can you tread water?”  Somehow that had never occurred to me.  Had I continued my frantic effort to swim back to shore, I would have exhausted my strength and gone down..

In all sorts of situations we can make matters worse by our frantic efforts to save ourselves when God is trying to tell us, “Stand still.”  We have gotten ourselves into a hopeless situation and the more we do the worse it gets.

Be Blameless By God

God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.  1 Thessalonians 4:7

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God Matt 5:8

Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Psalm 119:1

Just as God who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16

May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through.  May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  1 Thess 5:23

Get out of the sin daily in thought, word, and deed rut; that has a tendency to not end well.

The righteousness of the blameless makes a straight way for them, but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.  Proverbs 11:5          (Bye, bye, Hillary)

The man of integrity walks securely, but the one who takes crooked paths will be found out.  Proverbs 10:9

It is in and through the power of the Holy Spirit that we may be found  to be blameless before God and, being blameless, we are made pure in heart and able to leave the rut and move on to our higher calling.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Romans 15:13

Rejection of Evidence Regarding The Christ

Scripture passage:  Mark 14:62-65    “…and ye shall see the Son of Man….”

The value of The Christ’s Testimony before the High Priest

How was Jesus’ testimony received by the High Priest?  First thing we should notice is that he was complicit in having false witnesses present to manufacture charges against Jesus as well as other improprieties associated with this trial.

So we take notice of the position which the High Priest assumed on this occasion, it is a position which a great many men assume in regard to the evidences of Christianity today.  He had asked the question, “Are you The Christ?”  Was he prepared to accept supporting evidence?  Suppose Jesus had responded in the negative.  Then He would have been an impostor, and would have been led off from there self-condemned.

But, when Jesus said “I AM,” was there any attempt in the mind of the High Priest to permit testimony?  Instead of even pretending to give any pretense of willingness to consider the testimony he condemned Jesus for blasphemy.

In a legitimate trial Jesus could have easily presented plenty of evidence but there was a predetermined position of opposition against Him which precluded any evidence from having an effect.  That is the position of many people today: they’ve taken the position of opposition which precludes any fair pondering of proof; and the testimony of The Christ to His Messiahship in its full meaning, to wit, the only begotten Son of God and Savior of any who will accept that fact accompanied with a preponderance of evidence that would overwhelmingly convince any man of anything except that.  It does not carry any weight with them because they have chosen not to believe.

Even then, the mighty Messiah who manifests miracles could have brought a complete halt to that kangaroo court’s proceedings but then salvation’s wondrous plan would not have been completed.  Jesus was still in charge, but He lets the evil ones run their course.  Never forget, this was not the time of their choosing but He chose the precise date.

Disbelieve in the Jesus of the Holy Bible and no matter what else you do in this life their will be no virgins and no raisins for you, not even one – only the outer darkness of bitter regret.  Embrace the Jesus of the Holy Bible while you can because He cares for you.

American Government

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated, and kakistocracy means a criminal organization like the Obama administration is in control.

However with the upcoming election of Trump America will return to being a representative republic and the world will breathe a sigh of relief.  Let us pray that it is not too little, too late.
