The Superman Myth Debunked

“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 

Many times we see memes that say things like “LORD, please use me to shake the world” or “Jesus please use me to change a generation” … But God’s not interested in any one of us “impacting a whole generation” except perhaps such happen one soul at a time. Surely there is the ripple effect and yet… No, He just calls us to repent, trust, and walk/abide with Him as He ministers His grace and truth in and through us to those around us (Matthew 15). That’s what He calls us to and “obedience is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22). One step at a time by faith with Him and He’ll take care of the big stuff (Psalms 37:23). It’s His universe, world, and kingdom. We’re just blessed to be found and saved by Him into His eternal family (1 John 4:19). Abide in Christ. Read John 15 … pour prayerfully over this important teaching from our Savior.

RECENTLY: Early this morning, saw 2 beloved men who were Mexican. Sensed they were to be given the Gospel and yet didn’t want to be limited to speaking it to them in Spanish. Almost as if to say “LORD, if there is at least one Spanish Gospel tract left in the cubby hole where tracts are kept in my vehicle, I’ll know for sure You want me to minister to these precious souls dear Jesus.” So I reached down and removed the napkins there and lo and behold, as God knew all along … there were TWO SPANISH Gospel tracts!!! The JESUS tract! The connection and repore was perfect with these 2 gentlemen, father and son, who received the Gospel tracts and listened intently to the Word of God spoken to them in their own language! God is so gracious! ….. Why do I share this? Partly to encourage you to prepare and to step out when your Savior creates the opportunity. He will open their hearts! Smile, love on people, and minister as our LORD enables! He wants to use you, that’s for sure! Ask Him now beloved!

But wait, there’s more……

THEN, just a few minutes later, a brother in Christ I bumped into, a man named Nathan I’ve never met, told me he owns a company and employs many Spanish speaking men. He told me how he’d love to be able to communicate God’s Word to them in their language and that he’d been trying to find out how to do so for a while. Well, as you know, our God is answering the prayers of His people! Nathan and I fellowshipped for a while and then he left with a copy of the Authentic book and gave me his email address to send him the Spanish page on the ministry site. This post on the site is linked below and gives 5 easy-to-learn things to say to minister to Spanish speaking people. Nathan is excited to begin learning those things so he can minister to those he works with. The JESUS Gospel tract is also available on that link in PDF form! God is moving on the hearts of men saints! Jesus is coming.

Learning a few Gospel truths in another language opens wide the door for the LORD to use you – and He will! 5 things to say in ministering to the Spanish speaking people. Communicating The Gospel in Spanish 

Being used of God to minister to others begins by simply ASKING Him to do so and then posturing for the preparation!

Read that again 😉

Spreading the wealth of His Word. Matthew 10:8; 28:18-20; John 16:13-14

Personally, I love giving the following promise to sinners…. they will remember it. They can’t rid their mind and heart of this loving promise from our God. Even if they wait till their dying breath, as did the thief on the cross, they can still call on the name of Jesus and be saved!

Safety in Wise Counsel [podcast]


Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.” Proverbs 20:18

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalms 37:23

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalms 90:12

“Safety” in wise counsel from God’s wisdom, Word, and including at times with the help of His beloved saints.

“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14 

“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.” Proverbs 21:31 

“For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Proverbs 24:6 

Caprice means a sudden and unaccountable change of mood or behavior.

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15  This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:13-18

“Let Brotherly Love Continue” [podcast]


“Let Brotherly Love Continue.” Hebrews 13:1

“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.” Ephesians 5:2

1 John 4

God Is Love

“7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12  No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13  Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14  And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15  Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16  And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19  We love him, because he first loved us.
20  If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21  And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.”

1 Corinthians 13

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8  Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”

 5 Aspects of the Mind of Christ [podcast]


5 Components of the Mind of Christ from Philippians 2

Philippians 2:2-10

“Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

At Gethsemane the death before the cross, before His death on the cross occurred.

“Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42

“He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Philippians 2:8

Living in the mind, the disposition of Christ means you are truly following Him.

As Christ’s disciple, your devotion, your love is first to Him, then to your neighbor, not self (Matthew 22:37-39). You are commanded by the Savior to set self aside and to lift others above yourself—to prefer, to put God and others first. Those who do so, experience true freedom, liberty.

Being one with Christ, who gave all to save you, means your life is over—you now live to serve the LORD and others, not self (Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3).

Have you poured prayerfully over Philippians 2:3-5 today? If you will begin every day this week pouring prayerfully over this passage, asking the LORD to internalize it in your heart, God will begin to deeply instill the very “mind of Christ” into your innermost disposition.

Part of the dying…. IS GOD calling us to Himself, to forsake this world, including the attempt to save an unrepentant nation long in rebellion against Him – America?

Prayer: LORD, I want to walk in the disposition You walked in on earth. I will esteem You and others above myself. In Jesus’ name, amen.
