Israel's ONE Hope

 As we come into another celebration of the birth of the Messiah, it is well to consider that He alone is the hope of Israel. We celebrate it in December, but I've seen a credible theory posit that he was actually born in September. It matters not. He was truly born, and He brought us the Good News of the Gospel, the way to be reconciled to God, for Jew and Gentile alike. Israel was in rebellion against God when He came, and He warned them of their coming destruction. Israel is STILL in rebellion against God. Until Israel repents and turns to their one true Savior, they remain under judgment.  There is one Israel of God, comprised of Jews and Gentiles alike, who serve the one true Messiah of God, Jesus. Read Romans. Paul lays it all out throughout that book. This is not replacement theology. Paul explains it well; it's fallen man that wants to deny or pervert its meaning. Modern Israel is no different than any other unbelieving Nation. In fact, the World will experience consta...

Israel and other stuff...

 Since I am no one of note, as well as aging, I can pretty much say what I think and damn any consequences. Besides, I really don't care. So, here goes; Israel. Here's my take on that Nation. I believe they have the right to exist as much as any other Nation. They are not, however, special. I am NOT a Zionist. I am a Christian, and have a love for the Nation as well as Jews. My Lord and Savior came as a Jew. Is the modern State of Israel a 'special' Nation with regard to Christianity? I don't think so. Most Israelis can't trace their lineage, and most are not pure Jews. All temple records were destroyed in AD 70 when Rome destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. The Levitical Priesthood is gone. Modern Judaism is primarily Rabbinical and Talmudic, rather than Mosaic. They trace lineage through the mother rather than the father. So, no. I do not hold them up as Jews of the Old Covenant. Modern Israel is a Nation like any other. It does both good and evil. Its governme...

Random Thoughts

 We are a foolish people, we humans. We seem quite unable to learn. Take President Trump. The Leftists absolutely HATE him. Pure, raw, unadulterated HATE. Listen to them. They're more than willing to take him, his cabinet, and anyone who remotely supports him and put them into camps, prison, or even kill them. They blatantly say it. Leftists MEAN what they say. Yet, so many on the right keep repeating the bullsh*t that the US is turning around, or that the Left is done, or that the trans infection is dying. Fools! None of Trump's Executive Orders have been codified into Law by the Republican Congress. That means that when the Left regains power, and they will, Everything Trump has done will be destroyed. The borders will be reopened, and the Trans infection will respawn worse than before. Normal people must realize that for 2 generations, kids and young adults have been indoctrinated and taught to hate this Nation, and the West, by people who hate any Freedoms we have. They wan...

So Where is the Hope?

 I write a lot about the evil and depravity that is so prevalent in our culture. About the rot that continues to fester, and the betrayal of politicians and churches to Islam and the LGBTQ+ perversions. One might accuse me of being a sour curmudgeon, of seeing no good in our world. They might even be somewhat correct in that accusation. I'm not totally a curmudgeon, though. I see much beauty in God's creation, and that gives me hope. His word also gives me hope. Here's a little information about me. I'm over 60, my body is pretty broken, and I'm in pain every day of my life. I'm currently unemployed and do not have health insurance. I'm looking at a bad end for the last days of my life. I've prayed to God before I go to bed that He would heal me, or that I not wake up in this world. It gets that bad. Yet, He keeps waking me up, and I'm not healed. I thank Him for the new day ahead and pray that through His Holy Spirit, He gives me the strength to get...

Cultural Rot

 In his book "The Vanishing Conscience", John MacArthur asked, "How low can our culture sink?". Well, look around. It has sunk pretty far since that book came out in 2005. We see people cheering on the murder of a health care ceo. We see them cheering on the murder of babies, the mutilation of children, convinced by their elders that they are not really what they were born as. We see them supporting Islamists in their quest to murder every Jew they can, not realizing that once the evil that is Islam is in charge, they'd be next. We've seen again and again that politicians will put people at risk to get what they want most, more power and control. We see people voting for those who fantasize about murdering a mother and her children because they're politics are different! I can go on, but you get the picture.  How low can it go? I honestly don't think we've seen the bottom. As I've stated in other posts, this is God's Judgement on those wh...

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

 If you wonder what the greatest danger to the church is today, all you need to do is look inside the church. There are many 'pastors' coming out of leftwing seminaries these days. Most seminaries have shifted leftward as they have been infiltrated by individuals who conceal their true beliefs to secure employment. Once inside, and after achieving a certain status, they are no longer as careful to conceal their true beliefs. You see this in many Southern Baptist Seminaries, as well as others. Yes, the leftward drift is also plain in the Roman Church. It has been going on for some time. When a so-called Christian organization starts promoting things that Scripture is decidedly against, you must close your eyes to deny it. The acceptance of women pastors, the LGBTQ+ crowd, and the pro-abortion folks are a dead giveaway. Yet many in those churches refuse to speak up about it. They are cowards who won't stand for Scripture or the commands of God. I'm reading Shepherds for S...

Christian, Stand Firm!

 As the West and the US come apart at the seams, it's critical that Christians stand firm in the faith. We must stand for the Word of God and not weaken and compromise. If you're in the Word, you know what God demands. You know what sin is. You know that you must not compromise. Scripture tells us that "friendship with the world is enmity with God." No compromise there.  We are seeing God's Judgement accelerating as this Nation strays further and further away from Him. We see rampant corruption and perversity across all political lines, and it's only getting worse. Many Pastors have been compromised and no longer teach the whole Gospel.  They make excuses and say we should accept this sexual sin, or that perversion of the Law. They will come under harsher judgment as they are supposed to be shepherds protecting the flock. Instead, they lead people astray with a perverted 'gospel'. When they speak, you can almost hear the serpent in the Garden asking, ...
