Confront the Christian Divisions Now

If we don’t confront the Christian divisions now, then all will be lost. If we don’t confront the Christian divisions now, then hate and disagreements will lead to unbridled persecution. If we don’t confront the Christian divisions now, then death and destruction will be inevitable. If we don’t confront Christian divisions now, then we will witness the great falling away and the extinguishing of the Gospel light leading to a horrifying darkness that will sweep the planet. This is exactly what Satan and the powers of darkness want. They have sought to divide Christianity since the beginning by raising up false prophets to twist the simple message of the Cross. They have gone well beyond the Bible by adding new doctrines and a methodology foreign to the simple truths delineated in the New Testament. We must all take part in confronting the divisions that are ripping Christianity apart. Although the biblical solutions are simple, they will take a great deal of faith to follow, doing things that will be extremely uncomfortable, especially in the beginning. We will examine closely each of these biblical solutions that will heal the divisions in Christianity and reawaken the bright shining light in a very dark world. Although the solutions may appear to take longer, they will not but will have a profound lasting effect upon the fallen world.

To begin with, we must discover what makes Christianity a formidable force in the fallen world and what weakens Christianity in the eyes of fallen humanity. Let’s start with the negative influence that much of Christianity is having upon humanity in our day. This negative influence is not only dimming the saving light of the Gospel, but it is also hardening the hearts of humanity. When we confront the fallen world, we can confront their sins, but we must tie it to the great benefits available to them through repentance and forgiveness. On the other hand, we have a growing segment of Christianity, Christian Nationalism, that is becoming even more deeply embedded with the political system with the express purpose of not confronting fallen humanity with their sins but forcing them to obey their new laws of Christian morality. This forcing fallen humanity to obey will have the opposite effect for it will drive them further away from the Good news of our transformation in Christ. It will greatly dim the bright light of Christianity causing them to fall even deeper into darkness as they strike back with impunity. I have noticed the great hatred growing towards Christianity for some time now, which has greatly limited our ability to reach them for Christ. It has created a bitterness not seen in previous years.

To heal the divisions in Christianity, we must lead our brothers and sisters by helping them to return to the power of the Cross and the bright light of the Gospel through our good works. The Bible says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16). Only this power from God through the Gospel message can truly save those who believe. This has always been the key to changing the world and ushering in His Kingdom for which we pray continuously (Matthew 6:10). We were never meant to bring in the Kingdom through the political system and its powers. It’s antithetical to the Gospel. In the beginning, people did not come to Christ through a political force. They did not come to the kingdom because the walls separating the State and religion were torn down. Fallen humanity came to Christ because they saw a new hope. They saw love and peace not seen before. The early Christians looked beyond outward appearances, to those who were harshly judged and repudiated or scorned by the fallen world. They instilled in them a lively hope of acceptance by the risen Lord Jesus Christ to a life of eternal bliss through faith. They saw something completely and amazingly different.

Dear children, all the dancing and yelling will not bring in the Kingdom of God. All the political parties and all the voting will not bring in the Kingdom. Even our professional witnessing and lofty words of wisdom will not bring in the Kingdom (I Corinthians 2:1). Only the power of God working through His beloved children will bring in the Kingdom with all of its glory. Witnessing today has digressed to inviting people to church or to some political rally seeking to bring in the Kingdom through their vote, and their financial support. Dear children, the world needs to hear how God has changed us, growing us from one degree of glory to another, and filling us with an amazing joy and a peace that defies understanding. They need to hear that God is with us and He can make all things new. In a world with no hope, they need to hear about our hope realized through our faith believing that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for our sins and was raised from the grave to give us a brand-new life in Him. They need to hear about the power of transformation (II Corinthians 5:17). When people are truly changed, then they will not need the political party passing some new law to force them to obey. They will obey the law of Christ because it is written on their hearts. Let us trust God to change the world through His eternal message of hope; this is the Christian Way.

To bring healing to the body of Christ, His beloved Church, they need to see with their own eyes the good works of God’s precious children. They don’t need to see yelling, dancing, and supporting your latest political candidate. What they need to see is Christ living in you demonstrating His loving concern for your wellbeing. They don’t need to see a referral agent sending people back to the world’s counselors, nor do they need to hear your empty and meaningless prayers filled with an abundance of words (Romans 15:14, Matthew 6:7). What they need to see is our abounding love, willing to truly forgive others from the heart, and to demonstrate the rules of non-retaliation to those who vehemently disagree or attack us. (Matthew 5:38-42). What they need to see is your own spiritual growth by actively putting off the old life and putting on the new life in Christ. We are called to be doers of the word by following all of the beautiful “one another” statements in the Bible in our relationship with both the body of Christ and the unbelieving world. It’s harmful to the body of Christ to use dehumanizing words and hateful language toward others just because you disagree with their actions. When the people of God do this, it greatly diminishes their bright shining lights making them enemies of the world. This is what is currently happening in the world today where a segment of the Christian community is trying to bring the Kingdom in through the political process.

Finally, the moment we decide to follow the Christian Way to bring in the Kingdom, then we will confront the divisions head-on, front and center. If we are successful in healing the divisions, then the Kingdom will spread far and wide, but if we are not successful, then we will only have one option left. Although I would love to see the healing take place, I know that we are running out of time. If things don’t quickly change the only option left is to come out from among them. The Bible says, “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4). To come out would mean taking your children and grandchildren out of public education. It would mean to no longer participate in their political process. It would mean to no longer follow the counsel of the world through their online searches, their artificial intelligence, and their psychological counsel. It would mean to no longer participate in their social media platforms and the targeted news stories that use godless algorithms. We are not quite there yet, but extremely close if things don’t change immediately by trusting in the power of the Gospel message to bring in the Kingdom of God with all of its glory. Dear children, let us follow the Christian Way and not the ways of the fallen world. If we don’t, then truly all will be lost.

Glorify God in the Coming Judgment

God is glorified for many things, but we don’t often think about God being glorified in His righteous judgment coming now upon the earth. God since the beginning has always been glorified when His chosen people followed the path that was laid out for them in loving obedience to His commandments. The Bible says, “Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified” (Isiah 60:21). God brought forth His commandments to show them the path of righteousness and the branch of His planting. This branch looked forward to the salvation of the whole world, a people in distant lands walking in righteousness to the glory of God. God’s work was the gift of His beloved Son to make propitiation for the sins of humanity (I John 2:2). God’s work was the glorious transformation of fallen humanity in Christ by putting off the old life and putting on the new life in Christ (II Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 4:22-24). Furthermore, the God of creation would be glorified as His beloved children would let their light shine through their good works (Matthew 5:16). In time, they would also learn how to glorify God in their body and in their Spirit, which are God’s (I Corinthians 6:20). This would only be the beginning of a deeper journey of glorifying God in every situation including the coming judgment. Continue reading Glorify God in the Coming Judgment

Conquering the Evil From Within

As we approach closer to the end, almost everyone is looking at the evil around them. Very few, unfortunately, look at the evil within themselves. There is no better time than the present to examine the evil lurking in each of us. Remember, that each of us will be judged by a most Holy and righteous God. I must say in the beginning this will not be a popular topic, for looking within can be the most humbling and humiliating experience of our lives. However, it is much better to do it now, rather than being totally exposed and humiliated at the throne of the Almighty. Now, you will have an opportunity to change. When the last trumpet is sounded or if you experience an untimely death, then it will be too late. So, if you are willing to take this journey from within let us proceed. The Holy Spirit will be our guide. He will take you to places that you could never have imagined. Hopefully, it will cause you to have many hours of self-reflection. My hope and prayers are that all who claim to be Christians will take this journey allowing the indwelling Spirit to bring deep conviction to their souls. Let’s begin.

In The Blink of an Eye (Video)

If you lived for 125 years, compared to eternity that would only be in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, most live far less than that because of the increase in new diseases, viruses, and other health-related issues. Some have their life ended early because of lawlessness, immorality, and abortion. Others enter death early because of wars, famines, and increasing natural disasters or global warming. Furthermore, over 1 million people die of car accidents every year globally; their lives too have changed in the blink of an eye. We are all dying. Our life span on planet earth is truly in the blink of an eye compared to eternity. After watching this video on my secure website, please share it with everyone you care about. Their eternal life depends on it.

Our life span on planet earth is truly in the blink of an eye compared to eternity. Because of the original sin in the Garden of Eden, then we will all die (Genesis 3). While death is inevitable, most try to live their lives to the fullest with no thought of their eventual demise. On the other hand, we can plan for everlasting life now and experience a foretaste of heaven with a joy that’s beyond description. We have all been given a choice to pass on to eternal bliss in the presence of a loving God or to spend eternity separated from God in the fires of hell, which is conditioned on how we respond to the call from heaven. This is one call you don’t want to miss. Continue reading In The Blink of an Eye
