Word-Less Wolves and their Gullible Prey

“For THE LEADERS of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16

Who did the LORD just tell us “cause” the people who claim to be the LORD’s people “to err” and to be “destroyed”? Read the above verse again and note the answer in all caps.

The enemy of souls must belly laugh at just how biblically-illiterate and gullible so many are who claim to be serving Christ, the all-wise God.

The Bible tells us that Satan himself has his “ministers” who pose as the LORD’s ministers (2 Corinthians 11:12-15). Just what are these imposters up to?

When the self-serving, cross-less hireling is planning and/or building an entertainment center he calls “church,” self-serving counterfeits will flock to empty their pockets to help him. As can be seen by the many seeker-friendly, emergent church churches that litter the highways and byways here in Laodicean America, the church business industry is lucrative and booming. That is, even in a down economy. In contrast, when a divinely called-out servant leader chooses to obey God and simply stick with preaching His pure Word and the full-counsel of it, he may starve here in this life (Acts 20:20, 27; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 1 Peter 4:11, etc.). Regrettably, few, even among those who claim to want the truth and profess to have been brought out of the apostate modern church world, will lift a finger to help.

The LORD be praised for those faithful few who serve the LORD “in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18).

Most people, even those claiming to be born again, live by their senses and not “by faith” as the Bible tells us we must live in order to be justified (Romans 1:17; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38). So, because of this disobedience, all the self-kingdom-building hireling has to do is get some architectural plans drawn up and a color sketch done of the prospective building plans (finished product) to show the people, and wham the money begins to pour in to erect that new physical building or add on to the existing one. But will that money be spent to truly advance God’s kingdom in the hearts of men, women, and children? Or, will that building project simply multiply the ability to entertain and merely perpetuate the existence of that particular local church business? – as is the case in the majority of that which calls itself the church in America.

Most never stop to discern amidst all the fanfare, giving pleas, and entertainment, that there is no fulfilling of the Great Commission Jesus mandated (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20). In fact, most who claim to be saved have no idea that a Great Commission exists which testifies to the good job the epidemic conspiracy of wolves have done for their father Satan (John 8:44; Ezekiel 22:25-27; Amos 8:11, etc.).
An identifying sign of a wolf is that they could care less about winning lost souls. All the time, money, energy, and everything – is spent consumed on the already fat, self-loving so-called “pastor” and his self-centered congregation of pleasure lovers (2 Timothy 3:1-7; 4:2-4).

Most people never stop to question or discern if the physical building project is something Jesus or His apostles would build – or did build. It’s highly doubtful that they would and if they did, it would not be lavish or set up to entertain. God is unchanging and we can clearly observe that Christ and His apostles never once collected a penny to build a physical building. The true church cannot be contained in any physical building (2 Timothy 1:8). The true remnant body of Christ sees the whole globe as their building, where souls abound who need the Savior (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20). When the earliest believers collected money – when disciples of Jesus gave – it was for the poor believers and for the work of the ministry (Acts 2:44-45; 4:32-35; 6:1-7; 1 Corinthians 9:1-14; 16:1-3; Philippians 4, etc.). It was not for inflated CEO salaries or overdone physical buildings.

First off, most leaders who occupy physical church buildings could care less if those they mis-lead learn the Word of God for themselves. In fact, it actually benefits the hireling wolf more to keep the people dumb – biblically illiterate. Why? – because dumb people are easy to control and to manipulate.

Are you Dumbed Down?

How many Bible verses have you memorized?

How many NFL quarterbacks do you know? Running backs? College football teams, players, stats? Baseball players and their stats? Basketball?

Ladies, how much glamor or romance material have you read lately and how many gossip “facts” have you learned and remembered about so-called celebrities?

What does this reveal?

WHAT three things choke the Word of God out of our lives and cause us to be unfruitful which means we are detached from Him? Read John 15:1-6. If the Word of God were not important in our daily lives, WHY then would Jesus speak of it this way?

“And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18 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 4:16-19

“The cares of this world” – that is, frivolous entertainment and wasteful trinkets, things, and endeavors get more attention than does the LORD, His Word, daily prayer communion, and communicating His Word to others.

Christ reveals that “The lust of other things” has been allowed due to the refusal to truly seek – diligently go after – the LORD.

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

Mad at me? You won’t be the first.

My point is that all men have the ability to remember things and without fail, we retain what is most important to us which reveals who our first, our most important love really is (Revelation 2:4-5).

The LORD says “Let thine heart RETAIN my words” (Proverbs 4:4).

Ministry that glorifies the LORD gets people into His Word of God for themselves – To “study to shew” their own selves “approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Those who do not know God’s Word personally are not becoming “approved unto God” and will ultimately be “ashamed” and “destroyed.”

“My people (not the heathen) are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6

Divine Instruction to You

“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

The fact is, that if you vainly believe you have a good home church and yet are not being stirred, rebuked, exhorted, encouraged, and admonished to learn God’s written Word for yourself, you are being led by a hireling wolf. Oh, and I would be honored if you told him I said so.

You see, the hireling only wants his customers to patronize his local church business which means they attend, give their money and time, and make him feel good about himself by their presence and participation. So, he brings in the entertainment gurus and circus leaders. He has been trained, not in biblical truth but rather in the business of church and how to market to the consumer dupes who attend. He incorporates good music and drama people and good entertainment leaders for the children. Regrettably, most parents who claim to be saved are gullible dupes who don’t look for whether or not their children are literally learning HOLY SCRIPTURES in children’s church. No, they are satisfied if their children are simply entertained, bring back coloring pages, name tags, or other trinkets and paraphernalia. In fact, those same parents do zilch to teach their very own children God’s Word as God commands in Deuteronomy repeatedly. How tragic! What betrayal to the LORD they claim to serve! What betrayal to their own heritage – their own children!

“And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children (that’s YOU – the parent!), and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” Deuteronomy 6:7

There are people reading this who are proud of their local church and pastor and yet, those same people don’t know God’s Word for themselves, aren’t learning it, aren’t motivated in God’s holy fear to know it, and are simply dangerously comfortable – “at ease in Zion.” Amos 6:1 says “Woe unto those who are at ease in Zion.” These biblically illiterate lukewarm Laodiceans are in big trouble and don’t realize it because they have been lulled to sleep spiritually at the wicked hands of soft, smiling, soothing wolves who are ushering the souls of their prey into everlasting damnation, never to have a second chance to repent.

Make no mistake: ANY and all called-out servants of Christ are teaching God’s Word to the people in the holy fear of the LORD and are getting people into God’s Word for themselves, so they can trust HIM and not them! Wolves want the people to depend on THEM so they can have people continue to patronize and pay THEM!

“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.” Isaiah 8:16

WHAT did Jesus send us to do?

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

Jesus is only with those who abide in Him, which means they are also obeying Him – by teaching His Word to others. Are you? If not, you are clearly out of God’s will. Even though, you have probably been taught that “God’s will” is for you to patronize a pastor by attending a local church.

Is your local church or the man you listen to getting YOU into God’s written Word for yourself? If not, he is deliberately not fulfilling the New Testament purpose and leading you down the wide road that leads to eternal destruction.

Are You Apostate and Don’t Even Realize it?

Look around you and consider what Paul foretold in 2 Timothy 4:2-4:

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4

You see, most people simply want to be entertained. They do not want to repent which would bring the fruit of desire and grace to change (Matthew 3:7-10). They love darkness rather than light and pleasure more than God, as Christ and His apostles forewarned us (John 3:19-21; 2 Timothy 3:1-7). They want to patronize, attend, and fund ministries that simply never call them to repent, fast, seek God in holy prayer communion, break up their fallow ground, walk in the holy fear of God, deny self, take up the daily cross, follow Jesus, and live for His soon return. They want to be told that all is well when it’s not and gladly fund the wolves that tell them these lies. This is prophetic, historic and last days covetous reciprocation.

Money, Material Wealth, and Riches [podcast]

“Hath nothing” vs “Hath great riches”

The reason so many give nothing to God’s work is because He is not first in their lives, He means nothing important to them (Luke 12, 16).

“There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” Proverbs 13:7

Who is the man who has “nothing” though he appears to have much in this world?

Who is the man who has nothing in this world yet “great riches” awaiting him in glory?

The clear proof that God is working in our lives, that we are truly following Jesus, is that we are becoming less and less vested in this fleeting, fallen world and gaining an eternal perspective (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17; 2 Corinthians 4:18). And that we, our good works, our giving are more and more invested in eternity – in the eternal kingdom of Christ, laying up treasures in Heaven, sending them before us, relinquishing the things of this world for the glory of God – putting them to work for the eternal Gospel of Christ – for saints to be fed and equipped and the lost to hear the Word of God (Matt. 6:19-21).

“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5

When we are content in Christ we will not covet because we will be complete.

Are you making yourself rich in this fleeting world or trusting in the infinite riches of God?

Adam Clarke on Proverbs 13:7:

“There is that maketh himself rich – That labors hard to acquire money, yet hath nothing; his excessive covetousness not being satisfied with what he possesses, nor permitting him to enjoy with comfort what he has acquired. There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches – ‘As poor,’ said St. Paul, ‘yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.’ The former is the rich poor man; the latter is the poor rich man.”

John Wesley on Proverbs 13:7:

“Maketh rich – Some men who have little or nothing, pretend to have great riches. Maketh rich – Some rich men profess to be poor.”

Pulpit commentary on Proverbs 13:7:

“The first clause reminds one of the rich fool who laid up treasure for himself, and was not rich toward God (Luke 12:21; comp. Revelation 3:17, Revelation 3:18). The second clause teaches that wealth expended in God’s service makes a man rich in the treasury of heaven (Luke 12:21, Luke 12:33). One who thus uses the means entrusted to him could be spoken of like St. Paul, ‘as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things’ (2 Corinthians 6:10).”

The sum total of our riches are Christ and Christ alone. There are no riches with eternal import outside of Him (Colossians 1-2). And, any person not partaking in a relationship with Him on earth, will be void of the riches of His presence eternally.

There are many who make themselves rich in this fleeting world, yet have nothing but Hell awaiting them forever. They pour their God-given talents and time into making it in this temporary world, giving up Christ for their own momentary money. They sell their eternal souls for temporal trinkets.

“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.” 1 Timothy 6:6-10

Money brings power in this world. Faith and prayer bring power with God. Which one do you desire, covet? Which are you seeking?

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

Do you have a heart after God or after the things of this temporal world?

“And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.” Acts 13:22

Man is significant based solely on being made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26). A man’s looks or temporal possessions, trinkets, money, etc., have zero to do with his real worth. The money, the vehicle, the house, does NOT make the man. In fact, Jesus warns: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” See Mark 8:36. God made man and as such, as the creation of God, He desires a relationship with all men.

“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life (significance in God’s eyes) consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” Luke 12:15

Getting ready to die and go to Hell is not success – no matter how much “success” you foolishly think you’ve obtained in this brief life.

“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? Mark 8:36-37

“Charge Them”

“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” 1 Timothy 6:17-19

Covetousness, Greed are Soul Damning Sins

“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.” Ephesians 5:5-7

“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.” 1 John 2:15

Corporatization creates robots who follow the fools. Example: the covid cons and the cowards who comply.

WHEN I was working in the Space Program for a company that was contracted to NASA, they were shooting for 100% opt-in, total cooperation for a % taken out of our checks to give to the United Way, a demonic murderous organization that supports and gives money to planned MURDER-hood. Gladly, boldly, I spoiled that party, drawing a line in the sand. They were coercively conning every single employee into giving to the planned MURDER-hood United Way and their standing was in jeopardy with NASA if they didn’t get everyone in. Not me. Nope. I plainly told them I will lay no finger on or give a single penny to assisting in the cold blooded murder of innocent babies. Didn’t care what the consequences were.

“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.” Matthew 6:24

Far too many people are serving money and therefore have a myriad of excuses as to why they compromise. All who serve mammon are as sure for eternal damnation as if they were already there.

“Rich Toward God” vs. “Not Rich Toward God”

“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 claiming to be saved by the One who gave all for them, are rich toward self and “not rich toward God” in this temporal life.

Jesus tells us exactly how not to waste our earthly riches and talents and how to be eternally rich!

“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

Gospel ministries that feed you and others are there by the ordination of God – to help you grown in Christ’s grace and to have a place to give to further Jesus’ Gospel and lay up treasure in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-21; Ephesians 4:11-12). God’s Word calls us to support those feeding us (Galatians 6:6; 1 Timothy 5:17-18; 1 Corinthians 9:1-14, etc.). That’s all a gift of God – in your lap. Yet the “labourers are few” and so are the suppliers (Matthew 9:35-38).

“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

Would the few Gospel “labourers” be near dead broke if the LORD’s people were properly supporting HIS Work? Matthew 6:19-21; 9:35-38; 2 Corinthians 9:7-11; etc.

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

Are you supporting the WORK of Christ or some mere man’s “church” enterprise?

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

"Thou Fool, this Night Thy Soul shall be Required of Thee" [podcast]

Recorded at a home Bible fellowship Getting ready to die and go to hell is not success – no matter how “successful” you foolishly think you’ve become by what you’ve obtained in this brief life. “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?

Was Judas Jesus' Treasurer? If So, What Does that Reveal?

Yes, Judas was the appointed treasurer in our LORD’s earthly ministry. And so what does that tell us? Jesus and the apostles did receive love offerings. Jesus taught His people, us, to “give” and so why would He turn away love offerings which He was going to use to give eternal treasure to those who gave – laying it up in Heaven for them, the ultimate eternal dividends? (Matthew 6:19-21) Why would Christ and His holy apostles want to rob His people from laying up eternal treasure? After all, that’s exactly what they taught us to do. Jesus would not […]

WHERE to Give Your Money and Where Not to Give it

Sending Up Treasures to Heaven “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35 You’re going to spend your life and energy doing something. Should it not be that which holds eternal value? Isn’t everything else waste? Why waste your time and energy in this brief life on temporal trinkets and pursuits? Riches There’s no heavenly treasure to be gained by giving to political causes. Sending support overseas? Did you know there is a priority laid out in God’s Word as to where we are to give? First, we should only fund full-counsel Christ-centered ministries. Then, we are […]

The Joy of Seed Sowing

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22

Always remember, there must be a seed sown before there can be a crop reaped.

BEFORE Jesus saved me, He had several of His people along the way drop His precious Word into my sin-darkened, alienated heart. Read Ephesians 2. Wow.

“Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:” Ephesians 4:18

Some of this Gospel action from God’s people toward me, included the tangible, the printed page. These things all culminated into His saving me into His glorious kingdom (Isaiah 55:11).

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

How about you? What was the process of our LORD saving you? Who did He use? How did they sow His seed into your life.

Think about how when we plant a seed in the ground. Do we plant that seed and stand back and expect to see the plant begin to rise up out of the ground? No. Jesus spoke of this very thing.

“As I was reading this article I was reminded of a time when I was at my Dad’s retirement home. And I went and spread Jesus tracts all throughout the home. They had a sanctuary which looked to be mostly Catholic. With rosary beads and a Catholic Bible. So I especially targeted this place. The next time I went back, I looked in the sanctuary, and saw, on one of the chairs, a lady’s sweater and a Jesus tract. But what really stuck out was how tattered this Jesus tract was! Apparently, she had been carrying it around with her for some time. All I did was plant not knowing what God would do! It was getting into the heart of this lady and was she then being used to spread more seeds? I was not blessed to meet this women but from the way this tract looked it was something she carried with her and treasured!” Karen Cochran

The Parable of the Seed Growing

Mark 4:26-29

“26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.”

We don’t know how a seed turns into a plant and a crop. We just plant them and go to bed knowing they will produce the desired outcome (crop), right? Isn’t that the same faith we should have when we plant God’s Word in the hearts and minds of people?

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;” Romans 1:16

May God bless each of us to prayerfully and faithfully plant that seed of God’s Word beloved. God’s Word is the seed of salvation (Romans 1:16; 1 Peter 1:23). Just like the ground when a seed is planted into it. GOD will do the rest as we simply, lovingly, wisely, plant His precious truth into the hearts of those around us.

Speaking of such…. Yesterday, I gave a copy of the Moments with Our Master book to a dear young couple (they are about 18). This daily devotional comes in a dark or light cover. I asked if they like to read. As most people, they answered in the affirmative. Then I asked if I could gift them with a book. Most people won’t turn down a free gift, right? Right. She was given the lighter cover version and he the darker. As usual I opened the book (anywhere) and told them that “there is a Scripture at the top, a few words and then a prayer. One devotional for each day of the year.” Show and tell. I encouraged them by saying “this is a great way to start your day.” God was working.

Everyone on earth is being influenced by others on earth and it’s our calling from God to influence people toward Him.

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9

Personally, I love stopping by the thrift stores and finding every King James Bible they have. Great investment and it equips you to be armed and dangerous. Also, I like carrying, always, Scripture-rich resources. God will quicken. By doing these things (equipping) you are showing in earnest to the LORD that you want Him to use you.

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves (harvest) with him.” Psalms 126:5-6

Keep in mind that sowing the seed of God’s Word IS 100% a Great Commission operation and anyone participating in any fashion is obeying God and laying up treasure in glory – as He instructed you to do (1 Samuel 30:24; Matthew 6:19-21; John 4:36; 1 Corinthians 3:6-9, etc.). Perhaps you’d consider to not only buy yourself a supply of printed page materials for ministry but also supply another saint with the same. King James Bible.

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

YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your every blessing and for finding me in my sin and saving me into Your family by the blood of Christ my LORD. Please sanctify and use us for Your eternal glory. I love You Jesus. Please now fill me with the Holy Spirit and wisdom and open doors for me to sow the seed of Your Word in this late hour as we eagerly expect Your soon return. In Jesus’ Name.

The Good Shepherd and His True Sheep [podcast]

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant …” Hebrews 13:20

“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” John 10:3

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:1-13

“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
