“Misappropriated empathy for animals is a convenient escape for those who choose to ignore the problems of humanity. Many would prefer to feed a stray dog than a starving child.” Jeffrey Siegfried
When Jesus speaks of “one of the least of these my brethren” He’s speaking of those He exclusively created in His own image – people, not animals.
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:40-46
How are you treating those whom God made in His own image?
When Jesus’ apostle Paul speaks of remembering the poor, he’s not speaking about animals but rather Christians in need.
“Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.” Galatians 2:10
Personally I will give no penny to any animal cause as long as there are God’s people and humans – made in His image – in need. Jesus told us that “the poor always with you.” (Matthew 26:11) According to Holy Scripture, the poor and the Gospel are the places the LORD would have us to give. We see the prophets, Jesus, and His apostles spending, giving their lives and substance only for those Jesus came and died for and never an animal.
There are tens of thousands if not millions of professing Christians in America who eagerly signed up to give monthly to animal causes and yet give little or nothing to the poor and to the cause of Christ – to the teaching and preaching of Christ’s gospel. Total hypocrites. Repent now sinner.
NO, this doesn’t justify animal abuse and it doesn’t justify giving to animal causes while humans go hungry and without the soul saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Dear delusional hypocrite: Obeying God by helping humans is not animal cruelty. Repent now sinner.
This does tend to expose the gross over emphasis on beasts and near deification of animals today which has always been a part of satanic worship. How can a true disciple of Jesus possibly give a penny to any animal cause when there are Christians around the world in need and Gospel ministries that could use that supply to reach more sinners and feed Christ’s saints?
With no exception, those who know God do His work and have His priorities.
IF you care more for #animals than you do precious, innocent babies being murdered in cold blood via #abortion – you are a wicked sinner in need of repenting and believing on the LORD Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins. #animal #animalwelfare #animalcruelty #animalrights
“Thou shalt not kill.” Exodus 20:13
—– MANY TODAY pride themselves in being an “animal lover.” Okay God made animals and they are a blessing. Yet, He didn’t make them in His holy image. The Son of God didn’t come and die for animals but for His highest creation, mankind…….. God didn’t make animals so we could put them above those He made in His very image. I’m a Jesus lover and a people lover …… and you? …… Who cares if you’re an “animal lover”? God wants you to be an obedient lover of Himself and other PEOPLE.
Believers in particular are to care for human beings created in God’s image more than any other part of His creation.
—- ON A PERSONAL NOTE ….. somebody give me half a break here man ….. for me, yes for my personal conscience (not yours – Rom. 14), I am not going to put a penny into a pet cancer fund (or anything like it) until every human being created in the image of God has heard the Law and the Gospel ….. I know God make those precious dogs and cats, etc…… yet are some spending more time and money on their pets than on obeying Christ by feeding the poor and support the work of Jesus, the Great Commission work? Just asking and saying ……
UNTIL every precious unborn baby is safe, every earnest Christian person with a real need is fed in America, and every true Gospel ministry is supported, I will give not 1 cent to an animal cause. Unreal. Ministries preaching Christ’s Word go broke while animal causes raise billions of dollars. Shame on you! Repent and put your money where your mouth is sinner!
BJ Sullivan writes: “I was thinking about Proverbs 12:10 which states: ‘A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.’ God doesn’t want us to worship animals, but He wants us to take care of them and not harm them unnecessarily.”
So you claim to know and love Jesus and yet give more to animal causes than the preaching of the Gospel???? Delusional! Repent now. (Matthew 6:19-21)
To a person who wrote “I love animals,” I responded with: Okay you love animals but do you love precious little babies … who are being premeditatedly murdered daily in cold blood by abortion? Just asking … animals are beasts … only human beings are created in God’s image.
—- YES ANIMALS are made by God and are cute and are our pets (some of them) … but does that justify excess attention and money being spent on them while neglecting the eternal souls of lost men, women and children? Did Jesus come to die for animals or for people made in His image? What shall we say when we stand to give account before Him who “gave His only begotten Son” to die for the sins and souls of mankind? (John 3:16)
The Bible is God’s message to mankind with a few verses sprinkled in about animals (Ps. 33:11). His priorities are to be our priorities … otherwise we are guilty of perverting justice (Isaiah 5:20-24).
Those who pride themselves in helping animals while humans go hungry and are murdered in cold blood, are delusional hypocrites who are going to die and go to eternal damnation irrevocably if they don’t repent (Matthew 25:40-46).
How Important is Your Animal to You?
How Important is Jesus to You?
How important are the precious eternal human souls Jesus came and bled for?
Do you give more money to feeding and caring for your pet(s) than you do to the work of Christ’s ministry – to feed His saints and win lost souls?
Praise God that He made animals and our pets for a reason, but do we pay more attention to them than the LORD Himself and human beings who are created in His image?
There are new laws put on the books monthly to protect animals while precious babies are being murdered in cold blood daily. We are in the final days friends … preach His blessed Gospel! Read Romans 1.

WHY IS THE KING JAMES VERSION CALLED THE “AUTHORIZED VERSION”?

Excerpt from “Answers To Your Bible Version Questions”
© 2001 by David W. Daniels
Question: Why is the King James Bible called the “Authorized Version”? How did King James Authorize it?
Answer: Despite stories to the contrary, King James, in no uncertain terms, clearly authorized the translation of the Bible that now bears his name.
[Note: This is a drastically shortened account of the birth of God’s preserved words in English. Longer accounts are available, as in Final Authority: A Christian’s Guide to the King James Bible, by William P. Grady.]
Sanctioning the Authorized Version
When Elizabeth died on April 1, 1603, she had seen 130 editions of the New Testament and the Bible published during her 45 years as Queen of England. James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, “Queen of Scots,” became James I of England.
Four days later, on his way to London, a delegation of Puritan ministers met James, asking him to hear their grievances against the Church of England. James consented, and on January of 1604, four Puritans came to express their troubles at Hampton Court, in front of King James and over 50 Anglican (Church of England) officials. One by one each request was rejected, until the Puritan group’s leader, John Rainolds said these famous words:
“May your Majesty be pleased to direct that the Bible be now translated, [since] such versions as are extant [are] not answering to the original.”
At first, Bishop Bancroft of London was dead-set against it, saying, “If every man’s humor might be followed, there would be no end to translating.” But the King made it clear he liked the idea. Not too long later Bancroft wrote this to a friend:
I move you in his majesty’s name that, … no time may be overstepped by you for the better furtherance of this holy work…. You will scarcely conceive how earnest his majesty is to have this work begun!
When this Bible was translated, the title page was printed basically as you find it today in Cambridge Bibles:
HOLY BIBLE
CONTAINING THE
OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES:
AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS
DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED
BY HIS MAJESTY’S SPECIAL COMMAND
APPOINTED TO BE READ IN CHURCHES
The King James Bible was “Authorized” to be translated as God’s Word for the English-speaking people of the world. God bless you as you study His authorized and preserved words in English, the King James Bible.

The Imperative of Private Prayer [podcast]

We must be aware of our prayers we throw up while they have no congruence with our personal life – when they are shot gun prayers void of the foundation of private prayer, private praying, and holy living.
Private prayer with God is an essential to set your life up for success.
“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:6
Private prayer is essential to the disciple. Jesus reveals here that those who seek His face in prayer privately, will be used of Him publicly!
Are you at Christ’s feet? Do you live a life of prayer? Have you ever studied the life of Christ and beheld the many instances of His prayer life?
“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.” Mark 1:35
“Solitary” simply means uninhabited.
If we want to assess our true spiritual state with God, we need only look to our prayer life or lack thereof. Show me a man’s prayer life, and I will show you who that man is! When God is truly first in a person’s life, all else will be demoted in importance!
“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5
Backsliding begins with neglect of our relationship, our prayer life, our life of prayer with our LORD and Savior.
“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41
I will either pray my way into glory, or I will not be there. Matthew 26:41
“Hebrews 10:22 “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” This is how we are to come to God in prayer and fellowship. With a true, (honest) heart. That has been washed in the pure blood of Jesus! Confessing our sins so our conscience is clear. And we are cleansed from the filthiness of the flesh. Then we can come boldly before the throne of grace! Hebrews 4:16.” Karen Cochran
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I return to You now. Please forgive my sin of prayerlessness. Break me LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.
