THIS WEEK: Beloved sister Teri Guadalupe led two lost souls to Jesus in one day this week. She was in tears at what Jesus was doing. Two phone calls came in from Florida today to greet these new saints.

Do we spend more time protesting paganism than we do obeying Jesus by going into all the world and preaching the Gospel?

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

Aren’t we nothing more than hypocrites if were are merely on a rampage to protest paganism and yet are not obeying Jesus by preaching the Word to the saints and sinners?

Did Jesus save and send us just to antagonize lost souls, or to win them to Him?

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30

Notice that “the righteous” have good root and fruit in Christ and “winneth souls.” There is the divine life of God springing forth from the lives of His children – including in soul winning.

Perhaps in evangelising, it’s important not to over plan or strategize. Prepare? Yes (2 Timothy 2:21; 1 Peter 3:15). Yet simply to take it all to our LORD in prayer and ask Him to do His work in us and therefore through us. John 17 – oneness with Him and John 15, fruit born by Him in and through us for His eternal glory. In other words we should just die and not so much try.

Do we have any examples of Jesus, His apostles, or the early church spending their time protesting paganism? Paganism is the fruit of a fallen world that only Jesus can rescue the captives from.

“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” 1 Timothy 1:15

Sin, paganism is a given. Look up and see the appearances of the words “preach” and “preached” in the King James Bible and check out the action of the earliest followers of our LORD. “Protest”

How did God use sister Teri? Was it because she was out there protesting the pagan origins of Christmas or because she was communicating the Gospel of Jesus? Take a guess…..

Why shouldn’t God’s people insert His truth into everything, at all times? – EVERY day of the year, including December 25! Isn’t that what Jesus meant when He said we are His light and salt in the earth? Read Matthew 5:13-16. God is good and God is able! Maybe we should bow afresh here and now and ask Him to use us and to give us His wisdom to steadily do His will and not be drawn away into unfruitful endeavors, wasteful, unconstructive pursuits. Let it be dear LORD, in Jesus’ name (Psalms 25:4-5).

A common objection from some Christians is “Christmas is pagan!” True, yet is the birth of the eternal WORD pagan?

Should we cease cursing the darkness and instead begin to obey Jesus by shining His glorious light right in the middle of that darkness? After all, darkness abounds upon the whole earth, every day for 6,000 years. Think about that. Cursing the darkness benefits no one except Satan. Perhaps we should prayerfully consider letting the light of Christ in us to begin to shine brighter and brighter into the darkened hearts of fallen men.

“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

YOU GOING TO WALK AROUND ALL MAD ABOUT CHRISTMAS OR ARE YOU GOING TO PREACH THE GOSPEL DURING THIS SEASON AND SHOW THOSE AROUND YOU THE LOVE OF JESUS?

The angels and wise men celebrated the coming of Christ. Since when would it be inappropriate to celebrate Heaven’s KING? How could Jesus have died for us if He weren’t first born, made flesh and dwelt among us? See John 1:14.

Is anyone going to Hell because they celebrated Christmas (pagan)? No. Yet those who go to Hell will go due to not repenting and receiving King Jesus. Are we giving that Gospel message? “How shall they hear without a preacher?” See Romans 10:14.

The whole fallen world we live in is pagan, 24/7/365. Such has been the case for 6,000 years since the fall of man in the Garden. Aren’t we glad Jesus didn’t stand back and curse the darkness while still in Heaven, and say “Heck no, let them all perish”?

May God bless us to beware of self-righteousness. Jesus says the harlots will go to Heaven before the religious self-righteous (Matthew 21:31).

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your only begotten to die for the sins of the world, to die for my sins. I love You dear LORD and am eternally grateful for Your perfect sacrifice which alone atoned for my sin. Please forgive my sin, my lack of walking in Your wisdom and please use me and all of Your people this day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

God’s Universal Way of Fighting with Todd Tomasella and Travis Bryan III [podcast]


“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” Hebrews 2:14

“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21

“Powerful message! Thank you. I was always a fighter. But I fought for myself. And have had to learn through the cross life that meekness is not weakness. It’s actually strength in God to keep quiet and not have to retaliate when attacked or persecuted. But taking a step back, and asking God to bless them while lifting them up in prayer to the Lord. This is the bowels of mercy extended to those who attack us and to know as Paul did, I am the least of all the saints. And let God repay. Romans 12:19.” Karen Cochran

Man Shall not Live by Bread Alone [podcast]


“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

Spiritual growth occurs when we ingest the words of God, embrace, incorporate, and walk them out.

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”Psalms 33:11

The graphic message below is from a dear sister in Christ named Cassandra, on SubStack:

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23  For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24  For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:22-25

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, thank You for finding and forgiving me and saving me into Your eternal family. Help me realize the utter importance of feeding on Your Word daily. I love You dear LORD Jesus. Help me to love You more LORD. Help me to feed, to nourish the members of Your body with Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
