1 Corinthians 5:9-13

-

9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people;10 I did not at all mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is a sexually immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler⁠—not even to eat with such a one.12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Are you not to judge those who are within the church?13 But those who are outside, God will judge. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.
For those who mistakenly say Christinas shouldn't judge, this should clear it up. Paul speaks of judging believers in the church, that God judges those outside the church. Also, we must go out intoThe World or we cannot follow the great commission to spread the Gospel. We are IN the World, not OF the World. There is a distinction here. This does NOT mean we seal ourselves off in enclaves or communes to not soil ourselves with the evil of the world. We do not judge those outside the church. We do NOT allow sin to flourish IN the church. This is where church discipline comes in. Too few churches practice this any more. This is why so many are losing their salt, so to speak. 
There are two religions in the world; The True faith that is of The Bible and Christ, and the pagan world which encompasses everything else. There are two types of people; Children of God, and Children of Wrath. There are the unsaved, and the saved. Yet all are sinners. Those of us who are saved still sin. Being saved doesn't mean you no longer sin, but that you grieve in every fiber of your being when you sin. You humbly go before the Father and seek forgiveness. The unsaved do not. Continual sin hardens ones heart. The hardening continues the longer one refuses to cry out for forgiveness and repents. 
SEE your sin. Recognize it for what it is. Run to Christ and cry out to God for forgiveness. He is faithful to those who are humble and sincere. Ramble ends.

Weep for the World

 It's very hard watching a World under Judgement come apart. The West especially is under Judgement from God. About the only thing we haven't done to pervert God's Laws and His order is to normalize pedophilia. It won't be long for that as there's been a push by NAMBLA to that end for over a decade. We murder the innocent unborn in the womb, we have 'normalized' homosexuality, we've 'normalized' the lie of being able to change your sex, or gender, or whatever they're twisting it into these days. We've allowed racial strife to be ramped up in the name of 'equality' or some such. We've become worshippers of the planet or Gaia if you will. We've ascribed human traits to animals. All this perversion and insanity is CELEBRATED while at the same time creating generations with weak minds who will crumble when the whole house of cards comes crashing down. Also, Governments are attacking Biblical Christianity wherever they can get

Because they are EVIL.

  They ARE evil , yet many will ignore it. Many would rather not be told the truth. Why? As the prophet Jeremiah says "The heart of man is evil, who can know it?" Man's heart IS evil. The Bible tells us this. A Biblical worldview tells you this. The Law of God is written on the heart of man. His heart is evil because he KNOWS this and yet ignores it. Do not trust your heart. Rather, trust in God and His ways.  Ramble Ends.

The New Salem Witch Hunt(s)

-
 Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun." We see this with Mankind over and over. Whether it's Israel and their constant straying from God that started almost immediately after they were freed from Egypt all the way through History to heresies in the church to today's return of the love affair with Communism, Man does not change. These days there is a double witch hunt. First up, so-called 'Whiteness'. Go to the vast majority of colleges and you will find both black, white, and many other hues calling for the abolishment of 'Whiteness'. The definition changes from person to person but the cry is the same. White people are evil and the cause of all problems in the world at large. Whites are racist and evil no matter their age. These people are blind to the very bigotry and hate they're spewing. THEY are the ones they're looking for, but they project their faults onto society at large. They are immune to facts or anything that goes aga
