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

“There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.” Proverbs 30:12

Karen Cochran writes:

“Many people apparently don’t love Jesus with their whole hearts. They don’t want to give up their earthly treasures for heavenly treasures. They aren’t willing to give all to Jesus because they don’t love Him enough. They love self more. It’s truly shocking when you see how many followers you have that very few support this ministry. May God bless you for you for all your hard work. The Lord knows and there will be many rewards in Heaven.”

WHEN we literally put God first place, everything else falls into place – better than otherwise. Let that sink in… and consider just doing it.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

Is this the day you refuse to prolong the misery and put your foot down, plant your feet and declare – “GOD is first place from this moment forward. Not me but the LORD Jesus who came and shed His precious blood on that cross, was buried, and raised again from the dead. Come Heaven or high water, HE is first, now and from now onward. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

CAN you imagine the fruitful blessings if just 10% of those claiming to know and love Jesus would repent and begin supporting HIS work? Wow.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22

REGRETTABLY, THIS ACCOUNTS FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF MERELY PROFESSING CHRISTIANS.

Those who were saved in the past and yet are not presently participating literally in the Great Commission of Jesus are clearly backslidden. They do not participate in God’s work because they are backslidden. They are living for this world. Their heart affections are on this sinful world and they are separated from Christ. All of their energies, strivings, pursuits, and expenditures (monies) go to their life in this world. Their hearts are on this fleeting world and they are lost souls. These are the foolish virgins whom Jesus says He will shut out of His eternal kingdom (Matthew 25:1-13).

“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

SO every man whom Jesus once saved will not be ready if they are merely church goers, lukewarm, full of the love of self and live to get their next little fleeting trinket. They have no fruit to prove they are truly Christ’s. They do nothing to participate in His work. The flames of Hell await – from which there will be no escape.

“And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.” Ezekiel 33:31

If you are not literally OBEYING God’s Word, are you not a counterfeit? Isn’t all your profession false? Are you not self-deceived?

CAN you imagine what would happen if a few more people would step up and start being concerned about how much money is in JESUS’ bank account to run, to fuel, to DO His Great Commission? It’s staggering how few care. If you care you give, period. What does it say when people spend money like water on every frivolous thing under the sun and don’t give to GOD’s work? Wow. The apostasy is much deeper and darker than we know. There needs to be some serious and real repentance. If you don’t put your money where your mouth is, what does that clearly prove? It proves you are a false professor. Titus 1:16 says what? Matthew 6:21 says what?

If 100% of what God is allowing you to earn goes to YOU – WHO does that reveal is your god? YOU or Jesus? Read Matthew 6:24:

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” ~Jesus (Matthew 6:24)

YOU are telling the LORD exactly how much you truly love Him or not, by how much of your income you spend on HIM. Claiming to love the LORD and spending all your money on self comes off as a contradiction, you think?

Looking at your bank statement, what does it reveal? How much does it reveal that you love Jesus, or not?

Many who claim to know Christ are seeking more provision and yet, do they have a VISION for increased provision? Is God really going to answer your prayer for more when you are not giving Him His due portion from what He’s already allowing you to bring in?

What did Jesus teach in the parable of the talents and elsewhere? He taught that it’s only when we use what we already have correctly, steward it to HIS glory, that He is going increase it. Read it and know and understand this teaching of Christ in Matthew 25:14-30.

Let the words of Jesus haunt and convict you till you truly repent and lay down your life in this fleeting world and begin putting your money where your mouth is – all the way till He returns. Matthew 6:19-21

You are a Christian, a servant of Christ and not a consumer of this world. Your identity is that you are in CHRIST, you are HIS – you are not your own. Are we going to begin today acting like we are His new creatures? See 2 Corinthians 5:17-18. Assume your identity in Christ. Walk it. Live it.

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

IF you don’t support God’s Word going forth, HIS work, what does that reveal?

The way we spend out money is a direct reflection of the priorities of our hearts, according to Jesus.

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:21

Take control of your money or it will continue to control you. Same with your time. GOD comes first – not you. Repent and die to self for real.

Stewardship is about the Savior. What does He mean to you, or not? Bank statement reveals the answer.

I could care less what you think of me. God is calling for real repentance – proven by a changed life, good works.

ARE you a freeloader who is getting fed by ministries and contributing nothing? wow. That’s got to end. Now (Galatians 6:6).

We are bearing false witness to claim God is first place in our lives when He doesn’t even get crumbs. He doesn’t even get scraps or leftovers from what He’s bringing into our bank accounts monthly. This is sad because it reveals that He is not first at all – you are. Where are ALL, where is every idolater going to spend eternity? Revelation 21:8 and many other verses tell us such a person is going to the lake of fire.

You do no one else a favor except yourself when you give back to God out of that which He is giving you (1 Chronicles 29:14).

Is this a Heaven or Hell issue? What did Jesus says to the man who mis-stewarded His resources?

“For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 25:29-30

ATTN lukewarmers… Daily I am losing more and more concern for what any mere sinful man thinks of the truth-tellers. The truth of God will be stated on this ministry website. Sin will be exposed as it is being exposed today. There’s no where to hide. So, if you aren’t going to truly repent which will always bring forth the fruit of a changed life, you may want to exit this site and make room for authentic disciples of Jesus. You’ve been warned and exposed.

Counterfeits on full blast.

“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1

Speaking of Isaiah 58, when’s the last time you scheduled in and did a real fast? Do it.

If the fruit of your life doesn’t match your mere profession, your claim to being Christ’s, you are completely deceived into thinking you are His and are as sure for Hell as if you were already there.

“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16

IT’S SHOCKING, RIGHT?

Christ’s kingdom is all about JESUS.

“Brother you seem upset” someone might say.

Not at all. Full of the joy of the LORD Jesus and His Word which is going forth perpetually – every morning, every afternoon, every evening 365.

It is simply shocking and disturbing to all true disciples to see the fruit of so many counterfeits who swear they are saved but the fruit of their lives proves otherwise…. beginning with their own bank statement (Matthew 6:19-24). Thousands receive God’s Word every day from this ministry outreach and a whole 5 people financially support this ministry on a monthly basis. Now you tell me why that isn’t a huge red flag, an enormous cause for concern.

The question arises as to the God-given responsibility of Christians to support God’s work, workers. By choosing to spend your money on everything under the sun and by not supporting God’s Word going forth, you have openly declared that “the workman (Gospel laborer) is NOTTTT worthy” of his hire – to be paid, to be supported. So you are defying the LORD who declared that “the workman (His workers) IS worthy of his hire” (Luke 10:7; 1 Timothy 5:17-18).

Are you in charge or is Christ in charge?

The following is clear evidence of an upside down world and so many counterfeits who claim to be saved……

It’s interesting that the most important laborers, workers on the planet, in many cases don’t get paid. In fact many have quit. Christ’s laborers do the infinitely most important and only eternal work on the earth, yet get crumbs to operate on or nearly nothing. Let that sink in and ask whether you are guilty of inducing such evil.

What did Jesus say His people are to pray for in Matthew 9:35-38?

Does this fit this situation – as in withholding from those to whom it is due?

“Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.” James 5:4

If your money is your money and not God’s, you do not have Jesus first and all your religious activity is in vain (Matthew 6:33). Did you forget that HE gave you the body, mind, energy, opportunity and existence to earn that money? Does HE come first, off the top, when you get paid OR have you forgotten the LORD?

“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

WHO comes first? That will tell you if you are His or are serving the god of self.

“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“Yeah some people just think that people (in ministry) are not supposed to be compensated … praying that He able to bless me to get caught up on some of my finances so I can be a blessing to others, but I’m so behind in certain areas but I don’t stop ministering to those who come and ask for counseling.”

REPLY:

Understand. FYI, I don’t really get paid out of the ministry funds here. This is all about pushing God’s Word forward into the hearts of men. There’s very little to fuel it regrettably which reveals great apostasy.

Paul makes the case for those called out by GOD to full time serving are to be compensated…. and that’s exactly how those supporting them are obeying Jesus by laying up treasure in Heaven, not wasting it on earth, right? (Matthew 6:19-21).

“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.” 1 Timothy 5:17-18

1 Corinthians 9
“1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.”

It is my conclusion that we will never “get caught up” unless we get caught up with funding HIS work. That’s how you get out of your debt (2 Kings 4; Mark 12:41-44; Luke 6:38; Daniel 4:27; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11, etc.).

Jesus in Every Book of the Bible

First and foremost, God’s Word was written to reveal Christ. The Bible is said to be “The only Book where the divine Author is present every time you read it.” He’s divinely encoded and present on every page of His Word. “And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” Luke 24:44 Every book of the Bible is about the LORD Jesus, who is the […]

Christ’s Non-Negotiable Original Gospel Imperative [podcast]

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30

It’s one thing to claim we are with Christ and He with us, and it’s another thing to prove we are with the Savior by adhering to His words. Jesus told us that those who are “of God” hear and obey His words (John 8:47).

If one chooses not to love Jesus enough to obey His stated terms, such a man has rejected the Son of God for the love of sinful self and will perish in his own corruption (Matthew 22:37-40; Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).

“Repentance is to TAKE SIDES with God against yourself. It is a CHANGE of attitude toward SELF, toward SIN, toward GOD, toward CHRIST that is so REAL that it RESULTS in a changed life. It is raising the WHITE FLAG in SURRENDER to God and turning to Christ as your only LORD and Savior. Repentance is NOT a work … works are the fruit of repentance (Ephesians 2:8-10).” Trent Austin

Only the counterfeit will get upset at this Gospel message because such a rebel wants nothing to do with taking personal responsibility for his sin, the denial of self, the crucified life to be set apart, holy, and having the Savior reign!

Notice how Jesus knits the denial of self, the daily cross, the putting off the deeds of the body, of keeping under the body (the iniquitous fallen nature) with the destiny of the eternal soul.

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

Jesus made it clear here that the cross is an original Gospel essential, an absolute imperative to eternal glory with Him!

Each of us proves exactly who we love the most by the way we are living! – God or self!

Everything that is happening in your life now is being allowed by God in order to get you down low into the death and burial with Christ. Read 2 Corinthians 4.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 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. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-12

What Did Paul Mean by "I Keep Under My Body"? [podcast]

In spite of all the evil that is me, dear LORD You have been so gracious (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7; Titus 3:5-7). Thank You Jesus. Please bless this life to be crucified with Thee! If OSAS/eternal security is true, WHY did Paul say he himself that he could be “castaway” from God in the end if he didn’t endure to the end, perpetually keep under his body (the cross life)? “But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a […]

A Living Sacrifice unto God [podcast]

The burnt offering means a complete consumption. What did God illustrate to us when He required His people under the Old Covenant to offer burnt offering sacrifices? His coming Messiah’s perfect sacrifice for the sins of mankind. The ordained way He requires that His people serve Him. Jesus was the ultimate burnt offering. He gave all of Himself freely in obedience to His Father and to redeem mankind. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1 In His […]

Apostasy

Jacked Up Jezebel Rebuked [podcast]

“Jezebel is a widely rampant spirit of rebellion that is hard to get rid of, rooted in pride, self-will, and self-sufficiency. Only the LORD can deliver but only if the individual truly repents and submits to Him, to His Word.” Anita Villarreal

Any person defending this jezebel heresy that women can be pastors, elders over men, is under the control of Satan, period. And in need of true repentance (James 4:7).

—-There are NO female apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, or teachers under the New Testament (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12). Jesus gave these “gifts unto MEN.” (Ephesians 4:8) There is not even one woman mentioned in 27 books as an elder over Christ’s flock. Such is clearly forbidden (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In Acts 21:9 we read of Phillip’s daughters which “did prophesy” which is a gift of the Spirit (one of the nine-1 Corinthians 12:7-10). The office gifts are eldership functions for men called to be overseers over Christ’s flock, which is completely different than the gifts of the Spirit which every believer can function in and certainly women are seen doing such as Phillip’s daughters and how women are mentioned concerning operating in the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14.

Classic case of a jezebel lashing out when the Word of GOD corrects her (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Her rebellion is against God. Jezebel is utterly rebellious. She hates what God’s Word says and so the demons that control jezebels will lash out in personal attacks against the men who stand on the truth unwaveringly (such as did Elijah whom Jezebel sought to kill).

“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-14

“As I look around America I ask myself who can find a virtuous woman? Whose whole life is surrendered to God. And centered in the fear of the Lord. No woman will submit to their husbands unless they first submit to God. Ephesians 5:22 says women are to submit to their husbands, “as unto the Lord.” That must come first. And what is a great price in the sight of God? A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). This is true beauty to God. But Jezebels are the complete opposite. Full of rebellion, pride and hatred! God says throw her down!” Karen Cochran

From the divine perspective, this is not about oppression but rather about protect. See Revelation 2:20-24 to see what Jesus warns when a woman is allowed to lead as an elder in the body of Christ. He uses the words “The depths of Satan” and speaks of the death and destruction that will result when the men allow a woman to lead in a manner that is outside of the stated role God ordained for the woman.

Yes the LORD said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, sons and daughter, but not to anoint a woman to do something HE forbids. Women are to teach women yes but not the general body of believers (Titus 2:1-5). There are NO female elders in the New Testament. God forbids it. Eldership is reserved for men – to humbly teach, lead and protect and cherish women and children.

“There’s a crazy role reversal across the land and men should always lead. Even our women’s prayer group was led by the pastor because that’s what he believed. Women are more emotional and men more logical. Both have their designated roles . God meant them to compliment each other rather than to compete.” John Umlauf

When people don’t like what God’s Word states, they will attack the mere messenger as if that changes the truth. Not. And, they heap judgment on themselves by doing so (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Persecution

“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13

Jesus Addresses the Ahabs and Self-Appointed Jezebel at the Church at Thyatira

Revelation 2:20-24

Revelation 2:20-24 is about a certain self-appointed woman who was allowed by the spineless men in Thyatira to operate out of the biblically-stated order for women in the church setting.

Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

Racism: Nation Rising Against Nation [radio]

Nation Shall Rise Against Nation

Laboring in the Spirit, not the Flesh

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21

It’s not about the color or your skin, it’s about what kingdom you’re in!

What Should be the Response of the Body of Christ? – LOVE!

Reading 1 Corinthians 13 each morning this week is a life changer. Nothing in our lives is going to work out right if we don’t prayerfully endeavor to walk in God’s love – loving God and our neighbor, above ourselves. I love pouring prayerfully over 1 Corinthians 13 and Philippians 2:3-5. Life changing is an understatement!

Racism is hatred and is not a skin color. It is a heart condition – coming from a sinful heart. Memorize Romans 2:11.

In the time of tribulation for the believers at Thessalonica, the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul and said this:

“And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 3:5

By this we know of a certainty that the Holy Spirit is leading, directing our “hearts into the LOVE of God” and not the flesh, not a fleshly response. We now face tribulation and can be assured by this truth that our unchanging God is directing our hearts into His love and not hatred.

This is a divine truth for every era, every hour…. and we sure know that sin is exponentially abounding in this late hour…. which means divine grace is even greater – to save, heal, bless, deliver, and make whole!!!!

“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:” Romans 5:20

Here’s more evidence of God’s leading His people into the love walk in trying times:

“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8

Any person who does not walk in God’s love is not saved and we know that from many Scriptures. No hate, no hater shall enter Christ’s kingdom, no matter what justification that sinner thinks he has to warrant hating anyone. “He that loveth not knoweth not God.” (1 John 4:8) “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15)

When His disciples ask Him “what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”, Jesus gave them this answer:

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation (ethnic group) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:4-13

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:3-5

The Church began, will end as containing precious souls from every nation, kindred, and tongue (Acts 2; Revelation 5:9; 14:6).

The New Testament church began with men from every nation under Heaven and will be the same throughout eternity in glory.

Acts 2:1-13

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Revelation 5:9

Nation/ethnos, ethnic yes…groups at odds was foretold by Jesus – Matthew 24:7

Yes we can be at peace, Jesus told us to fear not and to be at peace …..

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Compassion in Light of Christ's Soon Return [video]

PRAYER: Holy Father, please change us to the very core of our being…. that we might see the lost souls around us as precious to You!
