Derek’s Faith

This right here is what kingdom living looks like – living for Christ, on mission, for eternity with Him, and not this fleeting world…

While in the middle of going through a financial trial, a time of layoff, one dear brother recently asked for prayer. I prayed for him and then asked him if I could just tear up the check he had just sent. This was his response:

“No way cash that sucker brother! And I’m sending more $ btw. I took 2500.00 out of my 401k. God is good. I will always give till I’m broke. Jesus has been too good for me to lose faith in Him. He will keep me brother! Amen! He has always been so good to me when He should have left me, but He never did. His kingdom is most important and I trust Him. God is so Good. He is all we have and all we need! Thank you!” Derek B.

“And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.” Acts 2:44-45

Their lives had been regenerated, changed, transformed to where their personal lives were dead and buried and now walked in, were raised up “in newness of life.” These true disciples of Christ lived on mission, no longer for the mundane, temporal pursuits of this fleeting world.

“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.” Romans 6:4

Among the earliest followers of Christ …

“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” Acts 4:32-35

Living in readiness for our LORD’s return means living the mission of Christ who came “to seek and to save that which was lost,” packing light, cutting off anything that would prevent us from the wedding! Read Luke 19:10; Matthew 25:1-13 and Revelation 19:7-8. Jesus came and gave all, and all who follow Him live with open hands of worship to Him and charity to others!

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35

O that those who claim Jesus as their Savior would spend as much time seeking Him, serving Him truly, as they do seeking after earthly pleasures and the treasures of this world for the fleeting pleasure of the god of self!

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

MONEY in this world tends to give people a false sense of self-importance – as they attribute their fleeting worldly “success” as meaning they are better than others. This is a dangerous, damning path saints, beware.

Instead of coveting to have more to give to advance Christ’s eternal kingdom, many today get caught in the vicious, insatiable quest to build more in this world – wasting their opportunity to lay up treasure in Heaven as Jesus instructed us to do (Matthew 6:19-24). All the sins of the flesh are further inflamed in this scenario, leaving them lukewarm toward Christ and His people, and helplessly swallowed up in the sins of the flesh. We are specifically warned of such – and make no mistake, this is a Heaven or hell issue.

1 Timothy 6:6-10

“6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

The LORD told us that we are given the opportunity to earn money on earth in order to “have to give” to “establish his covenant” in this life.

“Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, THAT HE MAY HAVE TO GIVE to him that needeth.” Ephesians 4:28

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may ESTABLISH HIS COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18

The LORD is calling for swift repentance from those who name the name of Christ – to lay down their lives in this world, to vest themselves in eternal glory (2 Timothy 2:19). When He allows our income to increase it’s His stated will that we increase our standard of giving, not our standard of living in this temporal world. Let’s read what Jesus says in Luke 12:15-21:

The Parable of the Rich Fool

“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” Luke 12:15-21

Many today spend their lives investing in their later years’ retirement and/or expanding their own portfolio in this soon-to-end world system instead of investing in Heaven. Those who are living without Christ’s reign in their lives are serving mammon and not their Maker. This is clear in that they commit to a certain percentage of investment each month in their retirement while merely tipping God and His work, or giving nothing to Christ’s saints who have needs. Jesus tells us that “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21). Where O where is your treasure friend? Where are you investing? Eternity is forever.

Lay Up Treasures in Heaven

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

In light of these words from the LORD Jesus, it has been wisely stated that

“The way we spend our money is a direct reflection of the priorities of our hearts.”

There are those who look good financially in this fleeting world who are throwing away their eternal souls for a temporal luxury which will be forgotten when they are thrown into the flames of eternal damnation.

“There is that maketh himself rich (in this temporal world), yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” Proverbs 13:7

This is all going to be over soon. What’s your investment looking like? What’s the investment of your life going to yield in the end?

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18

To follow Jesus, one must choose to let Him reign in their lives, wholly – to deny self, to die to self, self-will, self-agenda, etc. – to take up the cross daily and walk with Him. This will include gaining eternal glory with Him while refusing any endeavor to attain to earthly wealth.

“Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 36 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 8:34-38

“Love not the world” – Your significance is in Christ, not this world.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:15-17

If we truly love Christ and not this world – why would we choose to spend all our time, energy, focus, and life on getting more trinkets and trips in this fleeting world? Specifically concerning the greed and covetousness that fills wicked hearts, the LORD warned us:

“But thou, O man of God, FLEE THESE THINGS; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:11-12

The Truth about Significance

The car doesn’t make you. The house doesn’t make you. The amount of money you have or don’t have in the bank/investments doesn’t make you.

Earthly wealth fortifies and emboldens the lie of self-importance. But remember, Jesus says “for a man’s life (significance) consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15). You will do well to memorize this one.

The sum total of your wealth is what you have in and of Christ! There are no true riches outside of Him!

“Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;” 1 Corinthians 3:21-22

If you are in Christ, truly, your life in this fleeting world is a mission trip for HIS eternal glory.

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I come to You now as a vile self-serving, self-worshipping wicked sinner. I come in the name of Jesus Christ, asking You to forgive my sin of idolatry, of spiritual adultery and worship of self and thereby having other gods before You. I am 100% guilty as a sinner and there’s no one to blame but my own wicked self. Right this moment I ask You to forgive and wash me in the precious blood of my LORD Jesus. Please unite my heart to fear Thy holy name dear LORD. Please break me Jesus. Let today and the remainder of my days be spent worshipping You alone and seeing that Your Word is spread to the ends of the earth – into the hearts of every man, woman, and child. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. LORD, have Your way in me. I am all Yours and I know You are all mine. I have nothing without You my LORD Jesus.

CONTENTMENT VS. COVETOUSNESS

by Debbie Lord This study sure brought home just how crucial it is to repent of and renounce every bit of covetousness—even in our conversation (Hebrews 13:5)—as our mouth speaks what our hearts are full of (Luke 6:45). God says that covetousness is not to even be named once among the saints (Ephesians 5:3). If we love the world, the love of God is not in us (1 John 2:15). Covetousness is idolatry (Colossians 3:5) and (not repented of) will cost us our inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God (Ephesians 5:5)! This is an urgently needed warning to all of […]

Covetous Reciprocation between Preachers and Prey [podcast]

Covetous Reciprocation: Wealth Wasted on the Worship of Self! Today so many think they are hearing the Word of God in their local church. They are hearing very little of it and mountains of divine truth is being intentionally hidden from them – by the ear-tickling wolves they have chosen to sit under. These are those who $cratch the backs of those who tickle their ears. Because they haven’t chosen to love God enough to hear from Him firsthand, for themselves, by studying His Word diligently, counterfeits will spend eternity in hell (Hosea 4:6; 2 Timothy 2:15). Those who love […]

5 Soul Damning Sins Named! Learning from History! [podcast]

THE 5 SINS THAT KEPT ISRAEL (God’s own covenant people) OUT OF THEIR PROMISED LAND OF BLESSINGS and will keep us out if not relinquished. Friend, please read 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 with all your might. Make this text your meat.

The world seeks to romance sin but if God says it’s sin, that’s what it is. Toning down the terms changes nothing. Judgment Day is on the way.

We are fighting the good fight of faith, “striving against sin” and “more than conquerors” over sin through Jesus who loves us and bought us with His own blood! (1 Timothy 6:12; Hebrews 12:4; 13:12; Acts 20:28; Romans 8:37)

There are the 5 sins listed here that kept God’s people out of His blessings. We all need to L.I.F.T.M. up to the LORD in repentance and for His perfect forgiveness and cleansing. God the Holy Spirit warns us here through Paul’s pen (1 Cor. 10:1-13), that Israel and these sins are “examples” (vv. 6, 11) to all NT believers. God destroys those who go back on Him after knowing Him (transgressors – Ps. 68:21; 73:28; 125:5, etc.). If not ridden out of our lives, any one of these 5 sins WILL keep us out of our promised land. God is holy (Heb. 12:14). As taken in order from 1 Cor. 10:6-10, here are those 5 sins:

Lust
Idolatry
Fornication
Tempting Christ
Murmuring

This simple acronym should help us to remember these sins and remain separate from them as we grow today to know and love our Savior more fervently. “Keep thyself pure” (1 Timothy 5:22).

Committing the sin is one thing (1 John 1:8-10, right) and refusing to repent of it is yet another. Refusing to acknowledge, repent, confess, and cease is what snares the soul and ousts us from Christ (Proverbs 28:13).

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

If the Holy Spirit has quickened any offences of your heart, simply L.I.F.T.M. up to Christ the Redeemer, Forgiver, Cleanser, and Transformer of lives.

WHATEVER it takes – those who choose to get real with God will sever themselves from anything and anyone who causes them to sin. This is what Jesus says about sin and hell:

“And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.” Mark 9:43-50

NOTICE: When a believer or group of believers backslides, they no longer separate from the transgressors who are unrepentant:

Fornication Defiles

“It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have (Gr. possessed and wouldn’t repent) his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:1-2

1 Corinthians 10 completely destroys the OSAS / eternal security argument.

Notice the word “OUR” in verses 6 and 11. This is directly spoken to warn NEW Testament saints that they are going to hell if they live and die in sin.

Case closed.

1 Corinthians 10:1-12

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were OUR examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also LUSTED.

7 Neither be ye IDOLATERS, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit FORNICATION, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us TEMPT CHRIST, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither MURMUR ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for OUR admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Eternal security is a false teaching. 1 sin separated Adam and Eve from God and “The wages of sin is (still) death” because God is Holy (Rom 6:23, etc.). Moral coward counterfeits hate, despise the Gospel essential of the cross, the crucified life. They want Jesus to save them to Heaven but not from sin. These are the sin-justifying, grace-perverting “ungodly men” Jude warned us about (Jude 4).

The divine declaration that “The wages of sin is death” which means separation from God, appears throughout Scripture (Romans 6:23).

“He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.” Proverbs 19:16

Die or death always means separation.

OSAS/eternal security is a lie from hell. OSAS was Satan’s first lie and so it’s blasphemy to teach this doctrine of devils and claim it’s part of the Gospel. You are attributing Satan’s lie to the LORD Jesus. Repent now sinner. See Genesis 2:17; 3:4; Romans 11:20-22; 1 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-21; Jude 4, etc..

The concept of an un-conditional eternal security is not established in Scripture … Except for it being Satan’s first teaching, His first lie – the “Ye shall NOT surely die” lie (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).

Eternal Security/Once saved always saved is a lie from hell.

Can a Believer be Cut Off After being Saved? [podcast]

Paul reminds us Gentiles believers of how God “cut off” His own people, the Jews, when they rebelled against Him, and that He will also “cut off” any of us who do not continue in His goodness and severity (Romans 11:20-22). Any person who rejects this truth is a grace-perverting, sin-justifying fraud who has made a fake god in their own image due to the refusal to truly repent. “Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches (Jews), take heed lest he also spare not […]

The Core Values of the Modern Church Agenda Exposed [podcast]

Lots of occultic symbolism in the art below.

The “church growth” industry is a multi-million dollar enterprise with books, seminars, selling sermons, etc., on how to build a large church, how to grow the nickels, noses, and numbers. Is this what Jesus had in mind when He stated “I will build my church”? (Matthew 16:18)

“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23

Do you spend more time in “church” than in the Bible itself? Wow! Red flags flying!

“Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.” 2 Peter 3:17

So you are listening to some slick talker preach and yet he’s not using the BIBLE essential words like hell, repentance, holiness, the cross, the blood of Jesus, the return of Christ, etc? Repent and RUN!

The vast majority of so-called pastors today are more interested in getting you to join their church club, to become a member of their church, than they are about truly feeding the flock of God with the whole counsel of Scripture, equipping you for ministry, and winning souls to Jesus (John 21:15-17; Acts 20:20-32; Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.). Prove it wrong.

The other 11 times it is used negatively because men put their foolish traditions above Christ.
