RECENTLY, while in a conversation with a very deceived man, after listening to him rattle off Bible verses and nonsensical things, it became clear he was deceived by the poisonous heresies of calvinism. When Scripture began to hit his heart that demanded his real repentance and personal responsibility to live holy, he was devastated and attempted to smokescreen (John 3:19-21). Typically, this man went on and on and on about how we as Christians are all just relegated to live in sin – that there’s no way to overcome. He quoted Romans 7 out of context to justify this and to counter I quoted Romans 6:1-2:
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:1-2
Saving grace abounds towards no one who is living in sin.
According to Jesus, we know exactly who is “of God” and who is “NOT of God.” Memorize His words recorded in John 8:47:
“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
Here’s just a sampling of verses the modern apostate church world refuses to acknowledge much less quote. In fact, most of them are simply gullible dupes who’ve refused to seek God in His Word for themselves and so are simply left to believe and buy into the half truth false gospel the modern seminarian wolves are peddling (Hosea 4:6; 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12; 2 Timothy 2:15). We should all be armed and dangers to speak these words out. The occasion WILL arise. Bible memory is indispensable in ministering. NOTHING speaks more clear to the conscience than God’s exact words. Here’s a few to memorize:
“Follow peace with all men, and HOLINESS, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14
“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” Matthew 10:22
“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16
Simply put, this false gospel, which intentionally dodges hard truth, is the gospel for moral cowards who want Jesus to save them into Heaven but not save them from their sins in this life! (Titus 2:11-14) Not going to happen. Anyone not saved from sin is not saved for Heaven (Romans 6:1-2; Titus 2:11-14, etc.). They love their lives in this fleeting, sinful world more than Christ and that’s proven in that they refuse to hear and come to the light in repentance (John 3:19-21).
The root cause of blindness is rebellion, unrepentance! (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12)
Have You Been Saved for Certain?
The Bible says “Beware lest ye…fall from your own stedfastness.”
In numerous places, the Word tells us that un-Scriptural notions and teachings will lead us “away” from “stedfastness” in the LORD:
“Beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.” 2 Peter 3:17
The only way we can know the false is to intimately and personally know the true – God’s Word. God’s constitution is on record for us in tangible form. While on earth, Jesus defined what “truth” is when He prayed for us to His Father:
“Sanctify them (set them apart) through thy truth: THY WORD IS TRUTH.” John 17:17
God’s Word saves then sets us apart (James 1:18, 21; 1 Peter 1:23, 2:2). Personally learning and knowing God’s Word is the only protection we have against falsehoods. After using all of his might and power to teach the FULL-counsel of the LORD, the apostle Paul solemnly warned the Ephesian believers of those who would come behind him seeking to deceive the disciples at Ephesus. Here is what Paul warned them and us of:
“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.” Acts 20:29-30
Deceivers are those who are in leadership positions and through disobedient lives, have been sent a “strong delusion.” (2 Thess. 2:11) Many of our leaders are under the influence of Satan – no matter how “nice” and “cordial” they may appear. Beware. Rat poison is 95% good corn meal.
Counterfeits hate truth, especially spoken in divine authority…. exactly what the false religionists hated about Jesus (Mark 3:1-6; John 7-8, etc.).
God will forge in those who truly fear Him a rigid, inflexible, unbending, bull dogged-love for His truth! (Romans 3:4) Jesus says the written Word is truth (John 17:17). ALL who do not hold to His truth, enduring sound doctrine, will perish in their own corruption (2 Timothy 4:2-4). They will be damned, eternally, irrevocably incarcerated in hell and the lake of fire. We have His guarantee on that (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, etc).
TODAY we often hear people herald folk who “stand up for their beliefs.” No one’s going to Heaven for “standing up for his beliefs.” You can believe lies (anything outside of Scripture) as sincerely and hard as you wish and bust hell wide open! Only those who receive, believe, and obey the truth are in Christ and will be with Him eternally.
“Let God be true, but every man a liar.” Romans 3:4
If something stated is the truth – it’s the truth whether you deny it or not and will come back to haunt you if you do.
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12
Many if not most pastors today are quite biblically illiterate. Beware. Know God’s Word for yourself or you WILL be deceived – without exception (Isaiah 9:16; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 2:15). ALL who truly know and love Jesus are diligently seeking His truth, daily – with no exception. Those who are not “valiant for the truth” of God eliminate themselves from Christ’s eternal kingdom (Jeremiah 9:3). They are turned over to “strong delusion” and deceived and will be “damned.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
False teachers and prophets are an absolute REALITY throughout the NT era. Notice the definitive wording of the Holy Ghost here, like this phrase: “I KNOW THIS, that after my departing SHALL grievous wolves enter in among you.” (Acts 20:29)
IF you are not consistent and relentlessly diligent in seeking Jesus, you are not real! If you refuse to stay upon God you have not truly repented!
In conclusion, the LORD tells them how He desires to protect them and keep them safe from deception. Remember that God could have spoken many things here through Paul to reveal to His people how they are to remain protected in Him, and here is what He stated:
“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace (this is the way to remain protected in the LORD), which is able to build you up (spiritual strength), and to give you an inheritance (eternal life) among all them which are sanctified.” Acts 20:32
Many so-called “Christian” leaders today condone and send folks to books (resources) and men who espouse and teach psychology, problem-centered counseling (instead of Christ-centered counseling), philosophies, traditions, and outright heresies, etc., instead sending them to God’s holy Word which is the only protection from spiritual infection. Leading someone to follow anything except the very Word of God is antichrist and contrary to the LORD’s warning to us in Colossians 2:8, which states:
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him…” Colossians 2:8-10
Fellow disciple, we “are complete in him”, our Savior Jesus Christ, who is the grand and central Subject and focus of all of holy Scripture.
PRAYER: LORD, make me intense about knowing You through Your Holy Spirit and Holy Scriptures. Please captivate my heart dear LORD. Teach me to discern using Your holy Word and Holy Spirit. I love You my LORD Jesus. I beg You to grant repentance to and cause my heart to ever love You more and devour Your wonderful words. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Jesus Is Coming,

Recently a man continued to push and peddle his OSAS/eternal security lie to which the following response was given:
OSAS is the doctrine of moral cowards who refuse to man up and repent for real, lay down their life, die to self for real, take up the cross and follow Jesus for real. They want the crown but not the cross. They want to use Jesus to get to Heaven but don’t want to serve Him according to His cross prescription.
America
America is Under Divine Judgment [podcast]
Chasing the American dream all the way to hell? Are you bowing before your Maker who came and died to save you from sin and this world? Or, are you bowing before “old glory”, “the red, white, and blue”?
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17
Every person reading these very words is making his eternal bed in Heaven or in hell.
“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16
Those bowed truly before Christ and no idol, are about His “business” which is the Great Commission He gave us! Oh, and He holds you fully accountable to obey, to do it. Read the very end of Matthew and Mark.
If you are not deliberately, integrally involved in the Great Commission mandate Jesus gave His people, you are out of the will of God.
Evangelism! (Mark 16:15-20) Teaching God’s Word (Matthew 28:18-20).
AMERICA’S ENEMY INVASION
In the Bible, we read of how God allowed foreign empires like the Assyrians and Babylonians to invade, conquer, and exile Israel and Judah as a form of divine discipline and covenant judgment for their persistent idolatry, social injustice, and refusal to repent.
One source notes:
“The Theological Framework of Judgment
- The Covenant: God made a conditional agreement (covenant) with ancient Israel. Obedience brought protection and blessing; disobedience brought explicit warnings of national defeat and dispersion (e.g., Deuteronomy 28).
- Using Foreign Nations: Prophets like Isaiah and Habakkuk explain that God sovereignly used ruthless empires (calling Assyria the “rod of my anger”) as instruments of correction against His own unfaithful people.
- The Limits of Judgment: While God used these empires to punish Israel, the Bible notes He also held those invading nations accountable for their own extreme cruelty, arrogance, and subsequent destruction (e.g., Isaiah 10, Jeremiah 50–51).”
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalms 9:17) America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.
“The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:16-17
“At what instant” (marked space in time)
It seems God has His timing in judging nations and history records…..
It is more than obvious that America is not repenting. If that’s the case, what future does America have?
Jeremiah 18:7-10
“At what instant (marked place in time) I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.”
How does He judge?
Does He not lift His hand of protection and allow invaders? Read Jeremiah 5-7. This morning as I begin again reading these 3 chapters, what’s happening in America seems to fit for sure. And no president can save America from the LORD judgment. The only hope would be the true repentance of the people.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalms 9:17) America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.
What Bible verse or passage comes to your mind when you think of being possessed by an eternal perspective? How about this one?
“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Treasure it beloved of God.

A Word of Encouragement on Ministering to Others
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 1 Peter 1:23
It’s God’s Word, the “incorruptible seed” of the truth of God that shatters that which stands between Him and sinners. Listen closely and grasp these divinely inspired Word through the prophet Jeremiah:
“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29
The rock of unbelief is broken by the words of God entering the hearts of men. The light of divine truth pierces the darkness:
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
When the very words of God enter the human heart, by its nature – light – darkness is exposed for what it is.
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Psalms 19:7
YOUR PRAYER: Father, please make me a consummate soul winner, in Jesus’ name, amen.
Many times, due to a lack of the cross in our lives, are we not rather in the flesh instead of the Spirit and therefore do we not attempt to force or coerce the truth of God on others?
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6
EVER BEEN THERE? There are times when we are to “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” and other times when the enemy is trying to get us to take the bait, to bite on something minor and not be quiet, listen, and meekly minister the Word and love of God (Jude 3-4; Ephesians 4:15; 2 Timothy 2:24-26). May God bless each of His children to be led by His Holy Spirit in each instant and glorify Him, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Preaching AT someone and ministering TO someone are mutually exclusive. Are we preaching in our own self-righteous wrath and don’t yet realize it? The words of James are stinging and should be memorized:
“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20
May God fill us with His love and bless each of us to edify (build up) the members of His body.
Both rebuking and ministering are certainly Scriptural and yet, personally, I can look back in regret and see that when God wanting me MINISTERING TO someone, I was instead preaching AT the intended target/person. They are not a target but an eternal soul heading to Heaven or hell. And at times, God will mercifully lead His people to send forth a strong rebuke in order to turn the sinner to Himself.
There are many instances in Scripture where unrepentant rebels are dealt a hard blow with strong preaching, strong rebuke – the call to repent (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; Revelation 3:19, etc.).
I wonder if it would help up today if we paused to consider the process that transpired in our own lives. Though salvation is instantaneously imparted upon repentance, it most likely took a few people sowing the seed of God’s Word in our hearts before we repented and received Christ, right? Is that what happened in your life? It sure is in mine. I didn’t stop and get saved the first time some bless-ed disciple ministered to me. Did you?
When we put a seed in the ground to get a crop, it has to first be planted and then it begins to germinate, right? Then comes the crop and the fruit. This is a process and Paul speaks of it when he writes:
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9
Here below is a passage the LORD quickens my heart to pour prayerfully over on a regular basis:
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2 Timothy 2:24-26
PEOPLE go public about a lot of things. It’s time for God’s people to GO PUBLIC about JESUS!
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
Like everything in Christ’s kingdom, nothing works outside of the cross – the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ happening in our lives daily.

Recovering Biblical Womanhood [podcast]
by Lindsey Griffin
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 ‘𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱’ 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗱?
The more I think about this, the more I wonder whether we have been taught to look at male responsibility through the eyes of a child watching someone else get something she didn’t get.
“He gets to be in charge? That’s not fair! I want a turn.😠”
But what if what we have been calling a privilege was actually a responsibility?
The more I study the responsibilities Scripture places primarily upon men, the less I find myself coveting them. Headship sounds wonderful if all you see is the seat at the head of the table. It looks very different when you realize that the man sitting there is supposed to answer for what happens at that table.
Biblical authority isn’t simply getting your way. It comes with responsibility, sacrifice, service, provision, protection, difficult decisions, and ultimately accountability before God. Scripture repeatedly connects greater authority with greater accountability. “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” (Luke 12:48). James even warns that not many should become teachers because teachers “shall receive the greater condemnation” (James 3:1).
“My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” James 3:1
And that has made me rethink the entire way women have been encouraged to view male leadership.
Maybe instead of asking, “Why does he get to have that authority?” we should have been asking, “What does God require from the person to whom He gives that authority?”
Because I don’t think we can demand all of the authority traditionally associated with men while simultaneously asking society to make allowances for us whenever the realities of being women become inconvenient. We cannot insist, “Don’t treat me differently because I’m a woman. I can do anything a man can do,” and then turn around and argue, when accountability becomes painful, that our hormones, emotions, reproductive stage, or sex should substantially change what is expected of us.
If we want identical authority, then logically we are also asking for identical accountability.
The Bible never says that men are more valuable and women are less valuable. God gave men and women DIFFERENT RESPONSIBILITIES, with DIFFERENT BURDENS attached to them, and neither sex needs to covet what God entrusted primarily to the other.
I’m increasingly grateful that I don’t have to occupy every position a man occupies simply to prove that I am his equal in value.
I have a seat at the table. I don’t need to usurp his seat in order for mine to matter.”
“I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.” 1 Timothy 5:14
