Morality or the Messiah?
The Balm of Gilead or Bill O’Reilly?
A PEOPLE’S/NATION’S/INDIVIDUAL’S
There is no doubt that this nation has been given over to wicked men and yet, politics is not the answer – never has and never will be. This does not mean that it is a sin for Christians to be somewhat involved in politics by voting, etc. Yet, the root problem can only be solved and answered by the Answer Himself and we are His very ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:17-20). Jesus says “My kingdom is not of this world.”(John 18:36) The only cure to this nation’s woes is Christ and repentant men, women, and children who will truly serve Him on HIS terms, being about the heavenly “Father’s business” which is “to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 2:49; 19:10) – In other words, the Great Commission commands of Christ! Any person or church claiming to be Christian that is not aggressively obeying Christ by seeking to save the lost souls of this nation and world, is deceitfully using the name of the LORD in vain and is guilty of high treason in the Supreme Court of the Universe and under divine condemnation (Exodus 20:7).
“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Exodus 20:7
You see, they are using His holy name as a front and yet do their own business and that which is self-serving instead of the “Father’s business.” Jesus said that He “must” be about His “Father’s business”and so all who truly follow Him are about the heavenly “Father’s business” and not their own.
Sin is man’s core problem and not wrong philosophies and beliefs. Nothing has changed. God created man and he turned against and sinned against his Maker which caused a separation. Then, the only begotten Son of God came to bridge that gap and only He can do so. So, it’s real simple – sin is every man’s core problem and Jesus is the only Answer. Are you sharing this message with the lost around you or are you being disobedient to the One you claim to love and serve?
We all know people who vainly think they are saved and spend a 1,000 times more time listening to Glenn Beck and other distracting pawns than they spend listening to Jesus in His Word and prayer. “Depart from me … “ is what they will soon hear when they stand before God if they do not truly repent and turn their lives over to the LORD (Matthew 7:21-23).
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on Glenn Beck’s books by professing Christians. With no second thought they rush to purchose his books as soon as they are off the press and yet seldom if ever crack the Bible to seek the LORD by searching His Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15).
This article is not so much a slam on Glenn Beck but rather a rebuke to those who profess to know Jesus and show Him no attention! Glenn Beck is a mormon so we know he is not a Christian but a member of a notorious antichrist cult! How is the “FIRST love” of your life? (Revelation 2:4-5)
Speaking of the divine call upon all true disciples of Jesus and the futility of teach morality to depraved, unregenerate sinners, Rick Plaunt says:
“Without doubt he is, he tells us what WE want to hear, but the source is not God. We can agree on every moral issue, and it makes no difference. We are not here to moralize the world, they can’t clean themselves up. No! We are here to preach the gospel and make disciples, then you will see a
change in society. Man by himself will not lift himself up and make a better world, and history proves that!”
Deceived people by the tens of millions who are deluded into thinking they are Christ’s children somehow find all the energy, time, resources, and wherewithal to spend on frivolous, non-eternal, not-biblical things.
“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.” Jonah 2:8
Am I just making this up?
The Son of God warned:
“And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:18-19
They live to please themselves not Christ and others – “whose god is their belly” or carnal appetites (Philippians 3:18-19)
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philippians 3:18-20
These deliberately deceived souls will have all eternity to sulk in their regret for their rejection of Jesus Christ in this brief earthly life. What shall it cost them? – Their mouths shall be filled with the gravel of remorse and when a million years have passed, not one second will have expired from eternity’s clock (Proverbs 20:17).
“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 … 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 25:44-46
Jesus warns – “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:36-38
Those who do not study God’s Word simply do not love Him. They sow to the fleshly lusts of this temporal world and not to the Spirit. They have no interest in Jesus Christ – all they want is a ticket out of hell. They have no intention of having an abiding, intimate relationship with the Savior, they just want to use Him for their own self-serving good! God is not mocked and damnation awaits!
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:7-8
Oh, two more things …. 1) Folks, get rid of your copies of the phoney new versions of the Bible which are utterly corrupt. Get into God’s preserved Word – the King James Bible. Burn all new versions and don’t let them get into the hands of others (Acts 19:19). 2) Also, no true Christian would ever vote for a baby-murdering candidate (demoncrat) and yet it is utterly astounding that some hold their foolish, evil political views higher than God’s Word which means they are idolaters and not saved! – “Thou shalt not kill.” (Exodus 20:13) ANY person who votes demoNcratic is a murderer in the eyes of a God and Judge who is “Holy, holy, holy.”(Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) Those who vote for a demoNcrat politician are guilty of the ruthless, cold-blooded, premeditated murder of precious unborn children! On the authority of the Word of the JUDGE of all souls, I declare that they are evil, antichrist, and not saved. The JUDGE has spoken – “Ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15) Nothing could be clearer. ALL who vote for murder are murderers in the eyes of a Holy God and Judge – Rom. 1:32; 2 John 10-11 – they bid God speed to evil doers, enabling them to go MURDER precious babies. ANY person defending this is a child of the one whom Jesus told us has come “to steal, TO KILL, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Yet, some do not want their evil fruit judged. No, they wish to hide in their darkness, refusing to be brought to the light, hiding behind their evil political machine with its diabolical plan to kill (John 3:19-21). Voting demoncrat is voting for a murderer of babies and is the fruit of a depraved, unregenerate, evil beast and child of satan, not a Christian.
Repent before it’s too late!
Prayer of Repentance: Heavenly Father, please forgive my many sins. I beg You to forgive me for having other false gods before You and therefore not learning and doing You ways and Word! Have mercy upon my soul and change me beginning this moment through the grace You freely poured out through the blood sacrifice of Your only begotten Son Jesus! Amen.
Are you truly saved? Peace with God

The Only Way Up is Down [podcast]
Chapter 8 from the book Raised Up (narration)
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18
The Down and Up Principle of God’s Kingdom
“And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root DOWNWARD, and bear fruit UPWARD.” Isaiah 37:31
The Scriptures follow a pattern of death and resurrection, a downward death and upward life. See if you can observe such a truth in the following verses:
“The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth UP all those that be bowed DOWN.” Psalms 145:14
Do you possess the blessed desire to be raised up by the Almighty? According to His divine wisdom given us in His precious Precepts, in order to be “raised up” we must first be “bowed down.” The LORD will not raise up any person who is still alive in his own power – He only raises up “those that be bowed down” in sincere humility before His majesty (Ps. 145:14; Jn. 12:23-25; Rom. 8:11).
“Those that be bowed down” will “take root downward” and be raised up in blessed fruitfulness (Isa. 37:31).
In order to “bear fruit upward,” one must first be planted in the house (kingdom) of the LORD and “take root downward” in the rich soil of His truth. The resurrection life of Jesus and ample fruitfulness will be the result.
Going deeper in God necessitates going down deeper into death and burial with Christ! Read Romans 6. There are no shortcuts (Galatians 5:24). Christ’s kingdom is a cross economy – one of utter humility and death to self that He might reign (John 12:23-25; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
“And whosoever shall exalt himself (upward) shall be abased (humbled); and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” Matthew 23:12
“He must INCREASE, but I must DECREASE.” John 3:30
“And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat FALL INTO THE GROUND (downward) and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit (upward). He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life (downward) in this world shall keep it unto life eternal (upward).” John 12:23-25
“Humble yourselves (downward heart posture) in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:10
The life of Christ will raise a man upward and this is after that man bows down his life or humbles himself under the mighty hand of God – first at initial salvation then in the consecrated life that brings God glory. Blessed resurrection life is the upward result of the life planted downward and this is the place from which ministry springs. Look at what the apostle Paul wrote in this regard:
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
Jesus declared to us that He came to make captives free from sin and Satan – “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (Lk. 4:18; Jn. 8:31-32, 36).There is chain-shattering, freeing power (liberty) in the redeeming blood of Christ and by the power of the Holy Ghost (Lk. 4:18; Jn. 8:36; Acts 26:18; Col. 1:12-14; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; Rev. 12:11). The divine promise is that when one bows down before the LORD, every yoke shall be broken by Him who is above all (Isa. 58). No stronghold or bond of Satan has power when Christ’s blood is applied in sincere repentance and by the power of the Holy Ghost! The saint who is raised up after being bowed down, will glorify God in rich fruitfulness being “changed into the same image (Christ’s) from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18
It is the divine Person of the Holy Ghost who raised up the LORD who was bowed down before His Father in death in order to purchase His Church with His own sinless blood (Acts 20:28). In like manner, it is the Holy Spirit with His resurrection power who raises up those who be bowed down before His throne of grace.
“And he (Jesus) was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God… And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.” Luke 13:10-13, 16-17
There can be no resurrection until there is first a death. A seed is dead or dormant then is planted and then germinates and brings forth bud, then a stalk and ultimately fruit – but first it must be buried downward in order to bear life-giving fruit upward. The life buried with Christ will be lifted up by divine power and bear much fruit to God’s glory (Jn. 15:8).
“But if the Spirit of him that raised UP Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised UP Christ from the dead shall also quicken (make alive upward) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:11
Our LORD had to first die and be buried “downward” in order to be raised “upward” by the Father in resurrection life to raise up and justify all those who would call upon Him in repentance (Rom. 1:4; 8:11; 10:13). In order for fruit to be borne “upward,” the disciple must first be planted “downward” in “the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death” (Isa. 37:31; Phil. 3:10).
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.” Romans 6:3-5
“Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.” Colossians 2:12
He created man with a choice (Josh. 24:15). In the end there will be “the resurrection of life” and also “the resurrection of damnation” (Jn. 5:28-29). Each of us will be in one of these resurrections – either everlasting life or eternal death (conscience separation from God in hell). The entrance into Heaven or termination into hell will hinge upon whom we served – God or self (Rom. 6:16).
Real promotion comes only from the Giver and Sustainer of all life – from the north (Heaven).
“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” Psalms 75:6-7
That person who freely chooses to believe God, taking Christ at His Word, bowing under His infinite Majestic glory, will be raised up both now and forever and eternally glorified with the Alpha and Omega (Phil. 2:5-11; 2 Thess. 2:13-14).
“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.” Psalms 92:12-14
PRAYER: Please draw me deeper into You LORD Jesus. Father in Heaven, You sent Your only begotten Son to die for me in order that I might be raised up in new life in this brief life and eternally. I love You Jesus and ask You to lead me to that crucified life that you lived when here on earth and as You gave Your life blood on the cross to save Your people. Please quicken me by Your Holy Spirit and fill me afresh O LORD, that this life You gave might be fully one with You and fruitful and pleasing to Thee. Lord, I am watching and praying in light of Your soon return. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
