Do Judge

Do Judge.jpg

Then there is 1st Corinthians Chapter 6:  “1Co 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Co 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
1Co 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
1Co 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
1Co 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
1Co 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
1Co 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
1Co 6:9 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,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ”

Are You a Child of God?

Some people think nothing of spending hours in a bar but can’t stand the idea of spending an hour in Church; that should tell them something about their spiritual condition.

Thomas LaBraunt

Thomas LsBraunt.jpg Stamp out individual thought?  That sounds like every socialist dictator that ever wanted to take over the world.  By the way, that always turns out bad, Tommy.

I don’t know who Thomas is or whether he is the actual author or someone who is angry with him posted that and attached his name.  This showed up on Facebook and elsewhere.  I went to his page where I found nothing of this nature.  Thomas is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer as evidenced by his page.  However whoever wrote the piece attributed to Thomas is a racist bigot but that is something the democrats have long been known for.

Last I knew it is Americans who have constitutional rights, not a particular color.  Without the 2nd you don’t have any of the other constitutional rights, anyway.  The racist propaganda, especially that which comes from BHO and his fellow narcissistic propagandists, seeks to divide Americans and stifle rational thought.

Thomas, or whoever wrote the statement attributed to him, is part of the growing evidence that we are in a post-thinking era.  In part, we can blame PC and the “intelligentsia.”  We live in an age where we find scientists trying to create artificial intelligence while most of our educational institutions are creating artificial stupidity.

  T. S. Ellott: “Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important.  They don’t mean to do harm-but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.”

The narcissistic personality disorder, race-baiting, divider-in-chief is symptomatic of the problem.  We seem to have gotten so intimidated by political correctness that even our major media outlets, yes I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, dare not  call people who illegally immigrate to this country “illegal immigrants: or even responsibly report on the fact that they are a financial drain on our system.  Then there is the problem of fundamentalist Muslims, perhaps we should call them Mohammedans because that is who they are imitating, who, when they commit acts of terror, we are told not to call terrorists.   Heaven forbid, that we should mention the unholy sacrament of the left …abortion… so I won’t.

Thomas, or whoever you are, the answer is – God.

It is time to stand up for the cause of The Christ and do our part in bringing about a brand new Great Awakening like the one that took place in the 1740s.  We are way overdue for one and if we don’t have one it is going to get really, really bad.  Therefore, 2nd Chronicles 7:14

Mark 8:38

Mark 8 38.jpg

“I will keep my religion to myself,” says one; if you will not confess The Christ to men then He will renounce you before, in the presence of, God.

Let it always be remembered, that to be renounced by The Christ is to have Him neither for a savior nor for a mediator.  Thus there is a fate worse than human persecution; to be repudiated, or renounced, by Jesus Himself before the Father.  The “first hearers” of this statement heard, in this statement, a clear declaration from Jesus that He, not God the Father, it the final determiner as to whom will be allowed to enter into and abide in Heaven and who will not.  Rejection by humans is temporary; rejection by Jesus is forever.

Fear of men is a self-interested, self-deluding cowardice; fear of God is a healthy response of awe and obedience.  The latter is positively commended upon throughout the Bible while the former is condemned by God as well as by men everywhere.

Christian, Be Diligent

Matthew 10:40 [Jesus said:]  He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

10:41  He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

10:42  And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

What completely different spheres of duty are assigned to the clergy and the laity!  And we are told that he who labors with great earnestness in the work of a clergyman has a reward of peculiar splendor within reach, inasmuch as “They who turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars for ever and ever.”  But it is evident from this text that the same reward is attainable by others who have never been called to the clergyman’s work.  They who have not been “prophets” may “receive a prophet’s reward,” and if an individual have upheld a clergyman in his arduous and most responsible calling, strengthening him by such assistances as the occasion demands, sustaining him when assailed, cheering him when disheartened, and all out of love for his office, and desire for his success, so that he receives the pastor in the name of a pastor, we may say of such an individual that in God’s sight he takes part in the clergyman’s labors. [and shall be rewarded by his Lord]. – H. Melvill, B.D.

Be blessed, be encouraged, and whatever you do, whatever your line of labor is, do it as though you are doing it for our Lord, Jesus, The Christ — Pastor Ward Clinton

Putting things in Proper Perspective

Perspective.jpg Ah, yes, it is my contention that from the bottom to top is the proper perspective — the Godly perspective.  May Jesus bless you.
