The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

“Wow! Excellent biblical podcast on what we saw during the memorial service. Thank you. As I have already stated I was a doubter of Charlie Kirk. I saw many people that I believed were true disciples of Jesus posting about what a great man of God CK was. I thought ‘can they all be so deceived by him?’ I knew he had endorsed the pope and other things that I had only heard about him. But I did not follow him enough to really know. So instead of criticizing I prayed to the Lord and asked for discernment to see the truth and for God to show me his fruit. Matthew 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. And I took a step back from all the hype. And what I saw was truly amazing. He really loved the youth of our day. That seemed to be his heart. But he especially loved the young men. Who have been crushed out of their manhood by satan. He told them to be marry, and have children. That they were not born into the wrong sex! He taught them what a man should be! To work hard and really stressed the importance of family. Which we know is also God’s heart! Be fruitful and multiply! Genesis 1:28. He gave them the heart of God! And we know the heart of God is Jesus! John 1:18. He also gave them the gospel message of repentance and giving your life to Jesus. He truly was a national treasure to the young men of our country! And his devotion to Christ was celebrated at his memorial service! But so was the name of Jesus and His gospel message that went out to all the nations in this late hour. Sharing your message and pray more share to see the truth and stop slandering his name.” Karen Cochran

Did God use Charlie Kirk to literally turn a nation to Himself? Is this only the beginning?

Read this following passage with the life, death, and now departure of our beloved brother Charlie Kirk in mind. And the fact that we all miss him and yet all in Christ shall soon be reunited in eternal glory:

“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.” Acts 20:35-38

Interestingly some of those who didn’t even watch Charlie Kirk’s memorial pretend to the be the experts on this matter.

“He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” Proverbs 18:13

So some are posting about how evil Charlie Kirk’s memorial was and that if you watched it you are going to be deceived by the antichrist.

Don’t expect me to jump on your little “evil eye,” your “let’s find the darkness in everything and everybody no matter what bandwagon…”

“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” Proverbs 28:26

Tucker Carlson taught on the necessity of repentance.

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3

PAUL’S PRAYER AND DESIRE FOR CHRIST’S BODY: The prayerful goal is that biblical discernment is learned among the members of Christ’s body, and not to promote any mere man or organization. – “that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment (discernment)“ (1 Corinthians 1:10).

“Prove (test) all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;” Colossians 1:9-10

“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment (discernment).” 1 Corinthians 1:10

He was being sought, seduced to be Catholic which is what the vatican does and has done for 2k years. Nothing new. Did he get distracted? Yes. Did he fall for it? The evidence we DO know is that Kirk died saying things like “Jesus defeated death so you can live.” And “It’s all about JESUS!” Case closed.

“For those who say Charlie didn’t share the gospel, of which I could share multiple videos of him doing such, I think this is about as close as it gets! ‘Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.’ 1 Corinthians 12:3 KJV.” Stacy Strother

Every time something good is going on, or something seemingly good, that does not mean it is a hoax from Satan…. where is your faith Jesus asks (Luke 8:25). So Jesus did some great things as we read in the Gospels and yet you say the Son of God has changed, He no longer does good things? Hebrews 13:8… Acts 10:38; Luke 4:18; Psalms 147:3

“But his wife was Catholic” say the clowns. THAT doesn’t mean Charlie was Catholic. Get over yourself. Actually the power of God in her husband is bringing his wife to Christ. The words she spoke yesterday make that clear.

“Charlie Kirk makes it very clear that he has mutual respect for Catholics, but made it very clear that he was in disagreement with very important issues, And Remains protestant, NOT Catholic.” Jay Krause

I am reminded how Charlie often stated that “I am an evangelical Christian.”

In a debate with Michael Knowles, a Catholic, Charlie Kirk stated: “Your goal should be to bring people to Jesus, not to Catholicism.” Charlie Kirk From his own mouth on Catholicism. Kirk also pointed out the Catholic heresies of transubstantiation and mariology.

Concerning the heresy of the immaculate conception of Mary which claims she was sinless, Charlie Kirk stated: “I would not be able to enter into any faith that claims that anybody but Jesus Christ our LORD was without sin.” Charlie Kirk

Jesus is bringing many catholics home to HIMSELF…. just as Jesus brought this fool, me, to Himself out of a life of pagan catholic worship. And millions of others who are now HIS! WHERE O WHERE is the mercy and desire to see lost souls saved???!!!! Do you mind? Does that bother you? If so, you are the one in darkness (John 3:19-21).

“Be not deceived” Jesus’ Gospel is being preached – just as He promised it would be to all the world (Matthew 24:14). The endorsement is upon Christ, no other (2 Corinthian 4:5).

“No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” 1 Corinthians 12:3

There is so much material that flies in the face of the naysayers. Here’s but another piece.

Be warned: I will not be joining anyone’s, any pack of wolves who can’t wait to find the darkness in everything they see. That’s not discernment, that’s darkness….. an “evil eye.”

“Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine EVIL EYE, because I am good?” Matthew 20:15

“Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an EVIL EYE, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:” Mark 7:22

“The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine EYE IS EVIL, thy body also is full of darkness.” Luke 11:34

“The name of the Lord was glorified by so many speakers yesterday. People all over the world watching or listening. It was amazing and encouraging for the masses to see so many that turned up for the event. And not only that but for those not interested before in Jesus, many are beginning to buy bibles and go to church as they turn to the Lord. Obviously, this was a God-inspired thing. Praise God.” Anita Villareal

Yes … In some cases in spite of the speakers, God was glorified by them quoting, saying what Charlie said and how Christ was most important to him.

“It’s ALL fake” say the ones who can’t see the light….. then they condemn to hell those who see the light of Christ in these things He is doing. John 8:12 Jesus says ….

IF all you see is darkness, does that prove you are the one in darkness? John 3:19-21

Remedy to an evil heart of unbelief and darkness: Read Hebrews 3-4 and repent of all unbelief, ask God to increase your faith in Him and give you a heart of faith in Him and take away the soul damning “evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God” (Hebrews 3:12-15).

M.O. – It’s no mystery, it’s no surprise that when a large platform is built, with large audience, that the catholics and masonic devils will seek to highjack that platform by infiltration and seduction, etc. (2 Corinthians 2:11). Some seem to focus on Satan’s agents instead of what Christ is doing and they are trying to usurp. They only see the darkness in the battle for the souls of men. If the LORD is at work, their darkened hearts can’t see that God is at work, and that HE is larger than all the forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Their faith and therefore all they see is in the darkness.

One person said “if you watched any of that yesterday you will fall for the antichrist.”

Yet you can bet that same person is making accusations, is bearing false witness and they didn’t even watch it. That’s like the people who judge the Bible and yet have never read it.

“And now the crazies are out! One person said if you watched any of that yesterday you will fall for the antichrist. That is laughable. They are saying his wife was catholic.” Karen Cochran

To say God no longer moves by His Holy Spirit to save those He sent His only begotten Son to die for makes one a cessationist, does it not? | Satanic Cessationists Exposed

Over 100 million streams and there’s no telling how many people were watching each stream. Largest event ever? Why?

One writer noted:

“It was estimated that over 3.5 billion people received the gospel yesterday world wide.”

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14

The LORD is bringing to pass what He ordained and prophesied, foretold… and HE, who is large and in charged, needed the permission of any speck of dust (us). God will use whoever HE sees fit to use (Psalms 75:6-7; Daniel 2:21, etc.).

“Who are we to say what He can and can’t do! We are merely dust! He used a woman who was heavily into new age to speak the gospel to me! Romans 9:17 says God even used Pharaoh for His purposes. Even hardening his heart was part of God’s plan. To show His sovereignty and authority! And so His name might be known and glorified throughout all the earth. God even uses His enemies for His purposes. He sets them up and He removes them (Daniel 2:21). He is in complete control and we are just dust.” Karen Cochran

Seems fair to say that IF you didn’t watch it, you have no credibility to make determinations about it (Proverbs 18:13).

The LORD used wicked king of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar to speak His Word. Anyone who has a problem with such, with the LORD using anyone He sees fit to use, is in darkness (John 3:18-21).

There are some among us who have more faith in Satan and his evil human agents than they do in the LORD. They seem to resemble the brothers of David who were full of fear and cowardice because their eyes were not upon the LORD but self, sin and Satan (1 Samuel 17). Do they have “an evil heart of unbelief”? (Hebrews 3-4)

Unless you’ve watched the memorial, perhaps you should do so because mouthing off about. That sounds like the evil unbelieving heart of those who judge and seek to discredit the Bible yet have never read it. Were we not warned about such foolery? Proverbs 18:13?.

To the naysayers who seem full of unbelief ….. I guess Erika forgiving the “killer” is satanic too right? No it’s Christ-like. On the cross, when dying for my sins, for yours, the Son of God declared “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots” (Luke 23:34).

Viewing Charlie Kirk Through the Eyes of God’s Word [podcast]

At his memorial, nearly with NO exception, everyone speaking of Charlie Kirk, all who know him well, personally, they ALL say Christ is the most important thing to Charlie Kirk…. and most of these people are not even saved. In relating the faith of Charlie Kirk, each of them testified and some of them even preached the Gospel, Jesus. Love him or hate him, How can anyone honestly say Charlie Kirk didn’t preach God’s Word? JD Vance said that he himself has never spoken more about Jesus Christ as he has since Charlie Kirk’s death. The Roman Catholic church gives their prey enough to make people want the real thing. His wife, in a tearful speech, actually preached the cross, quoting Luke 9:23-24 among speaking other Bible truths.

Some of the people in Trump’s cabinet and Trump himself, who are not saved…. have been greatly affected by this…. and every one of them spoke of Charlie Kirk’s faith, relationship with Jesus. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the name of Jesus so many times in one day.

Searching out and finding out all the masonic symbolism etc., in the matter in no way negates that the Word of God was communicated. They find joy in believing the worst. They only see the darkness and perhaps it’s because that’s what they are in. They miss the light…

Yes some seem to be making an idol out of MAGA, Charlie Kirk, etc., due to their hatred. They miss what God is doing and forget that HE alone is in control. See Psalms 75:6-7; Daniel 2:21.

“One thing did stick out to me, and that is the message of the cross. Jesus increased and politics decreased despite some of the speakers trying to make it a us vs. them. JESUS over everything! for their eyes to be opened to the glorious gospel of the Risen Saviour, and to do his great commandments; to love the LORD with all their heart, all their soul, all their mind. And to love their neighbor (even our human enemies) as ourselves. For our true enemies are the devil, his angels, and our own sin. Our victory lies in the blood of the Lamb and our testimony of lives laid down for his glory. Amen.” Jon Crane

Politics were completely swallowed up in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Any attempt, though weak, to turn to politics, was not even noticed. Personally I never noticed such. Brother Charlie famously stated “It’s all about Jesus!” Whatever TPUSA is or who else works there or influences that organization, in no way changes the salvation and work of God in the life of Charlie Kirk.

The question of Chris Tomlin came up….. and how he apparently sings at Joyce Meyer events ….. okay but does that change the fact that when an individual disciple of Jesus sings those praise songs, they are glorifying God from their own individual heart? I don’t think so….. Jesus had a fraud right there among His own 12. Does that mean the other 11 were in sin for participating with Christ’s ministry? No.

“We witnessed the gospel of Christ being spoken to millions of people yesterday! One by one they spoke the words of Jesus even if they did not believe! How do you explain that? The power of God is the only explanation!! Yesterday I heard Jesus is Lord, He died for your sins, we have all fallen, and sin separated us from our creator! And God took on the form of a man, came down, lived among us and died on the cross to take away the sins of the world, and on the third day He rose again. Tucker Carlson said, ‘The only real solution is Jesus, Christianity, the gospel message, the message of Jesus, begins with repentance. The only change that matters is when we repent of our sins, we, ME, is a recognition that the real problem is me and how fallen I am’!! There’s the cross and the gospel message! He nailed it! Yesterday we witnessed the gospel message going out to all the nations! I watched hours of praise and worship to our Lord Jesus! Charlie Kirk was a mere man. Yesterday God flipped the switch and it was no longer about Charlie Kirk but about Jesus who came into this world to be the propitiation for our sins, and not just us, but the sins of the whole world!! 1 John 2:2. Hallelujah!! God spoke loud and clear!” Karen Cochran

“I saw the same as Karen Cochran! At the memorial service for CK. The pure gospel was held in high esteem and far above meager man. I saw that millions of people have been given an ALL OUT IN YOUR FACE AND HEAR opportunity to turn to Christ! Nothing was held back. Nothing. To God be the Glory!” Stacy Strother

Is God using the Charlie Kirk assassination for HIS own glory? Yes He is and He didn’t need the puny permission of any mere sinful man or man to do so.

New Testament saints were active in doing the Great Commission Jesus gave us long before TPUSA came along. Christ’s kingdom is all about HIM, King Jesus, and no mere man or organization of mere men, which are subject to waver and change and surely will. Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20, etc. The Great Commission is dependent upon no one but Christ, who after He gave us His mandate and promised to be with us in that mission to the end.

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15

Organizations of mere men will change and be subject to error. We must follow Christ. That’s why we Have His Word and Holy Ghost empowering us.

See Great Commission category here on safeguardyoursoul.com .

Remember: EVERY evil group known to man will be seeking to infiltrate and control, and mislead, and use for its evil advantage TPUSA. This would include the Catholic church.

“But he was political!” YES, and that’s how he gathered millions to listen to him and he preached the Word to them! Do you have a problem with that? If so, who is it that you should be examining? 2 Corinthians 13:5

This week, one deceived soul claimed:

“A church refusing to honor and speak about Charlie Kirk is one to mark and avoid. They are not honoring Christ or the scriptures.”

Notice he is using “mark and avoid” out of context and is likely himself causing the division and offenses from that very text he mis-applies (Romans 16:17).

The kingdom of God is all about King Jesus and no man. In fact Charlie Kirk himself declared “It’s all about Jesus!”

“I thank you so much for this podcast. I have struggled with finding God’s truth. Knowing he endorsed the Pope. And was a mixed bag at times! So I took a step back from all the hype and began to watch some of his videos. And became a fruit inspector! He did seem to be humble and when people would speak he politely put his mike down and listened. He was kind, loving honest, gentle, meek and kept the peace. I never heard him even yell. But he was bold. Most of all he preached the gospel. How do you test if one is a false teacher? 1 John 4:2 tells us. ‘Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.’ He did preach this. Satan is definitely after our youth and he tackled those lies with boldness! It would seem that is what many may have seen. He did not flinch and from what I saw and he was given some hard questions. Proverbs 28:1. I thank you because this podcast helped me to see Charlie Kirk and his life in Christ biblically.” Karen Cochran

Just as Jesus also foretold, the love of many is waxing cold (Matthew 24:8-14).

Testimonies

Things Charlie Kirk did wrong do not negate the things he did right. Isn’t that the same for your life and mine?

My long time friend Mark called during the recording of this podcast….his son:

“I’ve never been so moved as I am now to be saved. All that matters was that Jesus was with me for the whole race.” Jett

“Charlie’s death has left such an impact that even here in Africa, he’s been talked about, his faith and dedication to Christ.” Prince Kaz

“Last week after Charlie was martyred I was so angry and lost. I made the decision to go to church on Sunday to look for answers or some relief from all of it. Fortunately that grace was there. I’ll remember how I felt in the days leading up to it – but that sense of peace that the word of Christ brought to me after bottling up all of that anger was otherworldly.” Jacob

“I have chosen to finally accept Jesus our Lord into my heart because of Charlie. I have been closed off from his love for too long. Our country has lost its way and Charlie’s assassination proves that. We need our American values. We need Jesus.” Sarge

“My 18 year old daughter decided to give her life to Christ this morning. The day after Charlie was murdered, she asked me to get her a bible, and said she felt in her heart she needed to find God… Charlie is the reason she has finally come to Jesus. Thank you Charlie.” Abigail

“I came back to Christ this week after a long time. I’m not the only one. Thank you, Charlie, for bringing millions to Christ. We will continue to pray for the lost to be found.” Ashton

“Charlie Kirk brought me back to Jesus. Glory to God!” James

“I ordered a Bible today… Charlie Kirk’s death just feels so different to me and my gut told me to get a Bible.”

“I bought my first Bible yesterday because Charlie made such an impact on me.”

“Purchasing my first Bible tomorrow. I’ve been crryyying and all I can think is I need to learn the word. “

“I haven’t been to church since I was little, and I’m going this Sunday.”

“I haven’t been in probably 10 years, we are going as a family for the first time with toddlers this weekend. “

“I just gave my life to Jesus.”

“Charlie is bringing me to church this Sunday for the first time in 10 years.”

“Read the Bible today for the first time ever. I’m 32 & also going back to church Sunday.”

“I read my Bible for the first time in 10 years yesterday. This has shifted something in me.”

“I got my Bible out haven’t opened it in decades but I feel a spiritual awakening coming.”

“I’m ordering a Bible and looking for a church near by. I’ve been to church and got married in church but haven’t been in years! Charlie inspired me and clearly many others.”

“How can I join a church? Can I just show up there and walk in? Do I need to sign up? Does anyone know?”

“My family and I will be going for the first time!”

“I got a Bible today!”

“Dusting off the Bible. Starting up the daily devotional Church on Sunday. He did not die in vain.”

“I ordered a Bible today.”

“I got a Bible today for the first time in 35 years.”

“I have never been religious but something about this event has made me want to turn to God. I need guidance. I am utterly heartbroken and lost right now. I don’t know what to do.”

“Dusting off my Bible.”

“This is my TURNING POINT!”

“I pulled out my Bible last night for the first time in 14 years.”

“Yes, I couldn’t sleep I kept praying. Yesterday, I picked up my Bible I asked God for forgiveness, asked for the world to repent “

“I picked up my Bible and prayed for the first time in a year the day before he passed and it was right around the time he passed the day after. I prayed for a sign God was real cause I am struggling to believe. I believe now.”

“I haven’t been able to sleep, I’m going to start going back to church weekly. I am not ok, I haven’t been able to stop crying. It feels like all the peace has been stolen from this world. God help us.”

“I prayed so hard last night before going to bed. I felt The Holy Spirit. I felt so heavy and this feeling of being wrapped into the love of Jesus. When I prayed, it’s like the whole world around me went silent and it was just me and God. It was a beautiful moment. No more lukewarm, I love my Lord and Savior.”

“I have not gone to church in years and I told my husband last night that I would like to start going again and feel the spirit of Jesus, or God. I need peace and hope in a world that is scary. I need faith.”

“Brought out emotions I’ve never felt before for someone I don’t know. My spirit is very uneasy. It’s made me want to pick up my Bible and learn more and memorize more of the Bible to spread the gospel.”

“Yes I feel a fire ignite in my spirit more than ever, I feel boldness to Speak The Truth No Matter What! The enemy is trying to place fear in God’s people, but I Will NOT BE SILENT!”

“I’ve never felt more different. I’ve felt so much closer to Jesus Christ. I just want to help anyone around me to come to know Christ.”

“I told my husband ‘I gotta read my Bible more. He was killed for believing exactly what we believe.'”

“The amount of people I’ve seen say this turned them back to God, atheists saying they’ve prayed for the first time and are seeking God…it is the beauty of this tragedy.”

“Yes!! I haven’t felt the same since I need to get back to church, get back to the Lord! This has woke me up, told me to get back to my faith! I need to bring my children to church to bring them up to know and be a child of God!”

“100%. A fire was definitely lit within God’s children.”

“I’ve never felt this way in my entire life. Even though I have always been a Christian, I’m on fire! God is working in everyone.”

“I have felt the Holy Spirit more than ever the past 48 hours.”

“This has to be a wakeup call for all of God’s children! We need to not stay silent any longer! Come out of the shadows and shine our light fur all to see.”

“It’s definitely lit a fire in my soul that’s for sure. We as Christians should be doing more than what we have been.”

“Absolutely, this has made my spirit uneasy and angry, but also more on fire for God, like preparing us for something bigger that is about to take place (and I’m not saying end of times since we don’t know when it will happen).”

‘He inspired a spiritual awakening, draining the lukewarm waters in me and flooding my heart and soul with a new fire for God. I feel led to step out in faith and be bold in a way I’ve never been before.”

“He allowed me to reflect upon my life as a believer in Christ. It’s time to do better. Not for me, but for Christ. I grieve because of his family, his leadership and testimonies, but I praise as he will be glorified in Heaven.”

“Makes me want to get closer with God, I’ve been emotional with deep feelings the last 3 days and I know it has to do with God! Something is happening!”

“Yes big time had people reach out to me today to talk about Jesus they don’t know him yet but they’re suddenly wanting to.”

“It pushed me to schedule my baptism, not just wanting to do it, but scheduled and confirmed.”

“Yep! The enemy thought he won by getting rid of Charlie Kirk. He just started a whole new movement that’s rising.”

“Yes! I want to speak of God and the gospel every chance I get now! I am not ashamed of the gospel!”

“Last night I went to church for the first time in 21 years and denounced my “satanic” label I won’t let his death be for not LLCK I’m absolutely heartbroken I almost have no tears left I’m shattered.”

“I definitely felt a spiritual shift after it happened. I don’t have a church congregation near me but I’m starting a daily devotional with my friend over FaceTime. If it’s all I can do, I’ll do it with my all.”

“Yes, I’ve felt so unsteady, interrupted almost. But I’m so happy for it. The Holy Spirit has awoken something deep in me again that I haven’t felt in years. And I’m deeply ashamed that it took such a horrible event for me to remember again. Rest in Paradise, Charlie.”

“It put the fire on my family to lean into our faith publicly and boldly. We were always so tolerant to others feelings about faith. It’s about time we openly proclaim Jesus Christ our Savior. God use us to your will.”

“Me and my man are going back to church. RIP Charlie. You are never forgotten.”

“Absolutely it was, and it was Loud. Charlie’s legacy is living on, and he is rejoicing with Jesus as all of the Lord’s children are.”

“It resolved my question of whether or not I wanted to be officially baptized. Now I know for certain that I am ready. I am ready to live my life as Jesus did. As Charlie did. I am ready to surrender it all to the Lord.”

“Absolutely stirred up everything in my soul.”

“I have been far from God lately. I still talk to him but not near as much as I used to. Just ordered a new Bible 30 minutes ago. Couldn’t tell you where my old ones are. I’m starting new.”

“My homie who hasn’t been to church in a decade asked if he can join me this Sunday. This is a revolution.”

“Amen. This is shacking me to the core. I will never be the same. God called me back with a force I have never felt.”

“I have consumed more gospel in the last 2 days than I have in almost 2 decades, revival is here.”

“One of the things that helped me find peace about Charlie is realizing he was home with Jesus worshipping God. It made me come back to Jesus myself. I want to know that reassurance for myself. I finally surrendered. You will NEVER be forgotten, Charlie, You made your mark, Rest in peace.”

“Opened my Bible today and prayed and just talked to God so much these last few days.”

“yes! this is spiritual warfare and time to step up and speak up unapologetically just as Charlie did. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and I will be louder than ever!”

“This makes me want to bring as many people including myself to Christ as possible. God bless us all.'”

“Going to church Sunday for the first time in 15+ years and been praying. Signs are all over the place for me. “

“I have decided, at 55 years old, that I am going to read my Bible.”

“Charlie Kirk is the reason I come back to the faith of God. I will always be eternally grateful that he did that “

“I picked up my Bible for the first time in years yesterday because of Charlie Kirk.”

“I ordered a Bible today … Charlie Kirk’s death just feels so different to me and my gut told me to get a Bible.” Kelly

“Pick up your cross” ~ Charlie Kirk. Isn’t that what Jesus said is essential for following Him? Yes He did (Luke 9:23-24). Isn’t that what a miniscule number of pastors preach? Yes.

Viewing Charlie Kirk Through the Eyes of God's Word [podcast]

Did Charlie Kirk do more for Christ than many of those who have become preoccupied with condemning him? “The world shall rejoice” Some people (even some falsely claiming to be Christians) rejoice when others, when Christians die. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.” John 16:20 Earlier in this very chapter Jesus foretold that the way they hated and persecuted Him, so shall they do to you, His followers. Take a look: “These things have I spoken […]

Jesus beckons you to “Come unto me” — while you can (Matthew 11:28-30). “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 GOD sees all sin and will either […]

Fresh Start with God

You can Have a … Jesus is the Great Shepherd of His Sheep (Heb. 13:20; Lk. 15) A FRESH START WITH GOD (First, if you are not certain that you are genuinely born again, please go here first) Let’s get something straight…. the disciple, the mere man writing this message is more in need of JESUS than anyone who ever lived! No one needs Jesus more than I do and yet, we must do things HIS way, not our own (Ephesians 3:8). “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs […]

Mexico Mission Update Part 28

SATURDAY

ONLY GOD can do stuff like this!
SMH for His goodness.
After asking Luis (pictured below) where a certain food item was, he showed me and a lengthy conversation ensued. Luis was asking me questions about the USA after he found out that is where I originally from. At some point in the conversation, Luis said “make another statement in Spanish.” I guess he was seeking to measure how much Spanish I had learned. This caught me off guard yet I said “Jesus Christ reigns” in Spanish. AS SOON as I began saying those words, a dear man and his wife (Manuel) were turning the corner into that isle and so as I spoke those words I looked Manuel (whom I’d never before laid eyes on) straight into his face in order not to waste or limit who God’s Word was being spoken to. Manuel immediately lit up and rejoiced to hear God’s Word because he and his lovely wife are on-fire disciples of Jesus! Manuel then began ministering to beloved Luis who is not yet saved. The timing and arrangement of this event was nothing less than a divine miracle. We were all quite stunned at how this unfolded. Everyone exchanged contact info and Luis is going to continue to minister to and lead Luis to Jesus.

JESUS CHRIST IS MINISTERING TO AND SAVING SOULS!!!!

RECENTLY: Another 1,500 more JESUS tracts in Spanish picked up from the printer.

LAST NIGHT: Just got back in. Was able to pass out dozens upon dozens of JESUS tracts and speak God’s Word to each person…. ran out of tracts and loving it. Home restocking the pouch now.

The amazing people of Mexico are receiving the Gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16). Your prayers coveted.

The only spirit I have ever been in with ministering to Mexican people is “compassion.” Jude 22-23

They give no resistance, only acceptance to Jesus, the message of His Gospel.

I am praying for you all….. part of me wants to encourage more people to pray about leaving…. for their own safety and fruitfulness in Christ. Just a thought.

The amazing people of Mexico are receiving the Gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16). Your prayers coveted.

LAST NIGHT: AFTER sending out the weekly Bible teaching tonight, a young man named Julio here in Mexico replied with this:

“I want to learn the word of God, thank you for sharing the word of God with me.” Julio

He’s not yet saved (that I know of) and he’s reading the Word he’s being sent and now has the 4 ministry books in Spanish, including the Born Again book and the JESUS tract, etc.

Thank you for praying for our brother in Christ, Justin.

“About two weeks ago I would wake up spontaneously praising and thanking God. Normally, I am too groggy. But it just happened so naturally. It blesses my day and I give thanks for the challenges. Love you too bother.” Justin

When Alfredo (above) was given a JESUS tract and had God’s Word spoken to him, he was on the phone. He hung up and came and grabbed me as I was walking away. We spent ample time together and he was excited that you would be lifting him in prayer. He was very open and honest and asked me how he would be able to stop drinking many beers daily. In return I preached Jesus to him and that when he repents and receives Jesus, he is going to be forgiven of his sins and born again, a new creature in Christ and that all old things will pass away. He was instructed to repent and receive Jesus as I pointed to the prayer on the back of the JESUS tract (oracion). He was also shown the Reina Valera Bible 1960 to download onto his phone. He has my number and as soon as he texts me back he will be sent the Born Again book in Spanish and receive biblical ministry. Thank you for lifting this dear man in prayer. The honesty of the people of Mexico is so very refreshing!

God loves the Mexican people. Jesus died for them.

Thank you for pausing to pray for the people of Mexico.
Here’s beloved Martha who recently received ministry – as a direct result of your prayer and support.

IF you want to have a ‘field day’ adventure of evangelising lost souls, 90% of which are just waiting to be told about Jesus….. perhaps you may wish to pray and ask God if He’d have you move south to Mexico. A blessing. Psalms 37:23, right?

God be praised for your prayers and support. HE is doing a work in the hearts of the people of Mexico.

The Purpose of Elders in Christ’s Body [podcast]

There is no more important work transpiring in the earth today than the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 9:35-38; 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.).

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21

In short, the authentic under-shepherd ordained of Jesus Himself (John 15:16), will give up his life in this fleeting world for the sheep of Christ – just as the Great Shepherd of the sheep did on the cross. Such a divinely called-out man, will teach only God’s pure Word and watch for the souls of the LORD’s people (Hebrews 13:7, 17). He will take up the cross – live the crucified life – and therefore ministry will not be about them but rather about Jesus and His beloved sheep for whom He shed His blood and is soon returning (Philippians 3:17-21).

Also in Hebrews 13 …. The true elder of Christ will, according to Hebrews 13, do two things:

Speak the pure Word of God to you and get you into it:

“Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation (their way of life).” Hebrews 13:7

2. Will in the fear of God pray for and “watch for your soul.”

“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Hebrews 13:17

In review, just WHAT are the earmark fruits of true under-shepherds as opposed to the many wolves among us?

True under shepherds relentlessly teach God’s Word – “who have spoken unto you the word of God.” (Hebrews 13:7)
They are there for you! – “they watch for your souls.” (Hebrews 13:7)

IF they aren’t preaching God’s pure Word to you, fearing God, not you…. and watching for your eternal soul, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Repent and run to Jesus beloved.

Let me add that if they are using a fake “bible” instead of the King James Bible, that should be a clue to the darkness they walk in (Matthew 7:16, 20).

Elders are ordained of God and yet never to take His place nor to negate our own personal responsibility to seek God daily for ourselves. Yet, we do not need a preacher. Why? – because we each have a Bible. Read it. We don’t need a preacher to tell us what the Bible says! Read it for yourself, learning of the LORD yourself. Today is your day to take personal responsibility to seek God for yourself! Stop depending on a preacher or preachers. Devour God’s Word daily. Jesus taught personal responsibility and the essential nature of it when He said “Take heed to yourselves” (Luke 21:34-36) …… Paul instructed Timothy to “Study” the Word (2 Timothy 2:15).

Today we have all around us church-goers who are not possessed with a heart after God, do not diligently study and read and live out Christ’s Word. This lukewarm, world-loving fruit clearly reveals the prophesied priesthood of wolves (1 Chronicles 16:11; Psalms 27:4, 8; Matthew 24:11; Acts 13:22; 2 Timothy 3:13; 1 John 4:1, etc.). Until a pastor has provoke you to get into God’s Word for yourself, to seeking His holy face daily in prayer, he has failed. If has has diligently, biblically sought to do these essentials, and people have refused God’s Word, refused to seek His holy face continually, the blood is off of his hands (Ezekiel 3:18-20).

“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.” Ezekiel 3:18-20

When you check the fruit of a fellowship, check, discern if the individual saints are vibrant in Christ, diligently seeking His holy face, in His Word, living a life of prayer, denying self, taking up the cross daily, and following Jesus. This sounds like what we see of the earliest saints in the book of Acts, right? Boom. Remember how Peter preached and 8,000 were saved and how the Berean believers put Paul’s teaching to the Scriptural test? (Acts 2-4; 17:10-11, etc.).

Sadly, usually you see a bunch of people who are proud to be a member of a church with none of the biblical fruit list above.

The apostle Paul kept a close watch on those he oversaw.

“For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.” 1 Thessalonians 3:5

Having a physical “church” building makes no mere man, no supposed elder, an official representative of Heaven. Feeding the sheep of Christ with His pure Word and equipping them “for the work of the ministry” is the mark of a true under-shepherd of Christ (John 21:15-17; Ephesians 4:11-12, etc.). Discern. Beware. Inspect the fruit. Jesus nor any of His holy apostles collected a penny to build a building called “church.” No, they went to the people – to serve them instead of having the people come to them.

Let’s test that…. How many people do you personally know who are good church members, Sunday morning church attenders, and ALSO true, daily disciples whom God is using everywhere they go? Think about that…. How many true disciples of Jesus do you know who are involved in a Sunday morning church program? If you personally know even one true disciple, that’s a miracle and in spite of his attendance at the Sunday morning circus called “church.”

Unlike Christ’s apostle Paul, most in leadership today foster in their prey a dependence on THEM and their church business instead of prayerfully, biblically exhorting people to depend on Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5).

Like Christ’s apostle Paul, the true elder labors relentlessly to see you grounded in Christ – not in him or his ministry or church, but in CHRIST! Listen closely:

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7

It simply doesn’t matter what else he’s doing, if any minister is not prayerfully, biblically, perpetually rooting and grounding you in Christ, he’s a fraud. Run.

Like Jesus and His holy apostle Paul, part of grounding you ever more deeper in Christ, is warning you to “beware” of the “many false prophets.” (Matthew 24:11)

“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. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:8-10

SO, he’s not exhorting and admonishing you to seek and know the LORD in an ever deepening fashion? He’s not equipping, maturing you “for the work of the ministry” and yet you still consider him one of the LORD’s under-shepherds? He’s not getting YOU into the Word (2 Timothy 2:15) for yourself? That’s a false leader who is entertaining the goats instead of feeding and equipping the saints! Run! (See Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.)

False leaders divert the attention, the heart affections, the resources, and the energy of God’s people away from Christ and simple obedience to His Great Commission mandate. YOU are personally responsible! Waste is rampant! If you support, “bid God speed” (2 John 7-11) to a false leader, false ministry, then you will perish with them!

The divine purpose for elders is not to dominate nor entertain the LORD’s sheep but rather to help their joy in Christ! Get to know this verse saints:

“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” 2 Corinthians 1:24

There is the citing of elders in the Word and their divine purpose – to humbly serve God by helping His sheep grow in the knowledge and grace of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6).

Christ’s apostle Paul desired the “perfection” (maturity in Christ) of the people of God (Ephesians 4:11-15).

“For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.” 2 Corinthians 13:9

Like Apollos, Elders among God’s people must remain teachable to God’s Word and simply and only teach and preach his word (Proverbs 9:9; Acts 18:26). Elders true to the LORD act on his behalf and never out of a personal agenda for self gain (2 Corinthians 3:5; 4:5, etc.). They live the crucified life (Galatians 2:20).

We are to humble ourselves like Apollos did and learn the way of our God more perfectly from each other, via God’s Word – as Apollos learned it more fully from Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18:24-28).

Beloved Apollos was a very effective, anointed communicator of God’s Word and yet, was in need of maturing, of being perfected. So, God sent to him an elder and his wife, Aquila and Priscilla. Apollos humbly received the LORD’s elders and His grace to grow in Christ:

“And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.” Acts 18:24-26

The vast majority of “churches” that meet in “church buildings” are simply and merely conducting “church services” where they entertain their prey. They are not equipping the saints for the work of the ministry and therefore discerned as being counterfeit (Ephesians 4:11-13). If they were, there would be salty disciples in their midst who go forth to minister Christ’s kingdom blessings wherever they go. Not even a trace of this transpiring in the apostate modern church world. Run. Run. Run.

The Purpose of Kingdom Elders:

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12

Philip Lye writes: “Paul says in Ephesians 4, that he gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. He expressly says these people are given to mature the saints, to equip them for their ministry and growth in Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 that many false prophets and messiahs will arise deceiving many. They are simply functions that God has given and not titles which the proud use to strut about like a peacock. Most of these people that I have met (and I have seen a lot of famous ones) are false, proud and arrogant and not servants of the the Lord Jesus Christ. I have seen humble genuine ones who move mightily in truth, calling people to repentance and right relationship with Jesus and a demonstration of genuine miracles and wonders. They are to be genuine servants to God’s people.”

VIEW this following verse from Solomon’s day in light of our calling and work till Christ returns:

“Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.” 2 Chronicles 8:16

Let’s read a larger portion of this important passage in Ephesians 4. God fearing under-shepherds must prayerfully labor for and be intent upon seeing God’s people grow in the grace of Christ to the full stature of maturity He has ordained!

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-15

The Error of Using Titles in the Modern Church World

God sovereignly and exclusively ordained MEN to feed, lead, and equip His saints (Ephesians 4:8-11). Women are called to and seen doing many ministry functions in the New Testament but never as a leader in a position specifically designated in Scripture for men.

Repent. The American “church” is a catastrophe of spineless moral-coward Ahabs who’ve allowed, suffered women to lead, and the fall out is incalculable (Revelation 2:20-24).

GOD’s men must never allow women to lead where they (men) are called to lead (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).

To put yourself under the ministry of a woman who is acting as an elder among God’s people, is to defy Christ, and to agree with Christ’s arch enemy and his Jezebels and to bring severe destruction on the people of God (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).

JUST because a woman can run her mouth and even genuinely have a gift of the Spirit DOES NOT mean she’s an elder in the body of Christ – which is divinely reserved non-negotiably for men, male elders (1 Timothy 2:11-12; 3:2). | Beware of Scripture-Twisting Jezebels

We must humbly confess before our LORD and God that we have nothing and are nothing without Him!

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5

God can use us in spite of having a seminary or Bible college background…. If we will truly denounce it, lay it all down, and truly submit to Him – just like Paul did (Philippians 3). Otherwise we will join the epidemic of false prophets who build their own kingdoms in this fleeting life and spend eternity in hell (2 Peter 2:1-3). Paul counted his “higher education” as “dung” to know and serve Christ (Philippians 3).

BIBLICALLY SPEAKING, BY DEFINITION, ELDERS ARE NOT SEMINARIANS (UNLESS THEY’VE DENOUNCED SUCH) BUT RATHER PROVEN MEN OF GOD WHO HAVE WALKED WITH CHRIST FOR SOME TIME AND ARE SEASONED IN DOCTRINE AND GODLY CHARACTER AND ABLE TO HELP ASSIST OTHER BELIEVERS GROW IN GRACE (Philippians 3).

In part, we can be transformed in our thinking/perspective of what leaders are seen to be in the apostate modern church vs the biblical definition of an elder which is a humble servant with sound doctrine and a godly life (1 Timothy 3; 2 Timothy 3:10; Titus 1-2, etc.).

Christ’s kingdom ordination is not like the ordinations of many denominations….. To ordain seems to mean to recognize the work of GOD in a man’s life and to set him forth into ministry as by the leading of the Spirit of God.

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16

ORDAIN

G5087

τίθημι

tithēmi

tith’-ay-mee

A prolonged form of a primary word θέω theō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from G2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate): – + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.

Total KJV occurrences: 96

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.” Acts 13:1-3

Denominations of mere men set their elders forth to do THEIR bidding, to perpetuate their own cause and existence, to build their false church businesse$. God fearing assemblies of the saints simply recognize Christ’s work in a man and prayerfully send him forth to do GOD’s work. They worship and exalt Christ whole heartedly!

MINISTRY is about feeding sheep, not entertaining goats (John 21:15-17). So, when you see a “minister” entertaining, you know he himself is a goat (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5).

What True Elders Teach

“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5

THERE is nothing good in us except Christ. We are not featured but JESUS is. “We preach CHRIST crucified” (1 Cor 1:23). All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and HE is the One and only righteous Redeemer whom we communicate to others (1 Cor 9:16; Rom 7:18 etc.).

Jesus’ true disciples are crucified vessels who preach with His authority, unlike the lame leaders we have today (Matthew 7:28-29). True Gospel preaching rocks the world of those who hear it – it never coddles people in their sin. That’s the work of wolves! Beware!

Godly Elders Teach God’s People to Discern

“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel 44:23

Why don’t some leaders teach discernment?

“Anyone that profits off of you being blind, will never teach you or inspire you to see.” unknown

Any man in leadership who doesn’t warn you of false prophets as did Christ and His apostles, is a wolf who does not want you to see who he truly is.

God’s people are to continue to learn to discern – to test, to weigh all things against Holy Scripture. Ungodly elders have the “I said it so it’s true” notion. Or the “We’ve always taught that” or “That’s what we believe” philosophy. Not. What saith the Scriptures is what every true follower of Jesus asks, as he searches God’s Word to ascertain truth. Every student of Christ should become extremely familiar with Acts 17:10-11.

QUESTION RECEIVED:

“I am curious as to how one man is considered the other’s elder? Do they attend the same church gathering thus, he is a church elder or is it through willful submission of the younger as an understudy or simply due to the fact that one man is older?”

REPLY:

Great question brother. Elder, biblically seems to mean older and more seasoned in God’s Word, having walked with the LORD longer. Two views come to mind: 1. The organic body of Christ, the kingdom relationships we have, where there appear men in our lives who are seasoned and there’s an automatic elder/young relationship (that’s how it is here)… and 2. Where a person attends a church group and they have their elder in a more organized fashion as you mentioned…. that help?

Nothing brings definition to this like God’s Word as you know…. and notice how it begins with “The elders which are AMONG you”….

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” 1 Peter 5:1-6

The Rich Benefits of Communion - "The Lord's Supper"

“…The Lord’s supper.” 1 Corinthians 11:20 Many agree that the LORD seems to have given His New Testament church two ordinances…perhaps a third. An ordinance is a point of contact or physical enactment with a spiritual truth, reality. These are for born again believers and NOT in an attempt to become a Christian but only for those already born again into Christ. First, you must be born again: 1. Water baptism – to depict our own death, burial, and resurrection with Christ, and 2. Communion – where we are brought into remembrance of our LORD’s death – broken body and […]

How to Spot a Fake Bible [podcast]

Please don’t balk till you read these 3 verses. This is indefensible to the sane mind! “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” (Proverbs 18:13) In 2016 the Berean Study Bible (BSB) was introduced. Sounds good, right? Not! There are 3 verses we use to acid test “bibles”: Matthew 17:21; Romans 8:1; and Colossians 1:14 As usual, this BSB was taken from the known corrupted manuscripts instead of the Textus Receptus from which the KJB comes from. In the BSB, typically, we find: Matthew 17:21 was removed, Romans 8:1 was chopped in […]
