It’s all a satanic agenda to turn people against each other, to begin a civil war so the vile communists can step in and take over!

The examples are plentiful: Recently a white man defended himself against two white attackers and was called a “white supremacist” for exercising his 2nd Amendment right. Then, days later, a black man who verifiably lived his life hating white people used his SUV to run over and murder six innocent white people and injure a dozen more. And Satan’s MSM said it was a “red SUV that ran over” those people. Are you awake?

The idea that “all these white people are racist” is just another hoax perpetrated by CIA project mockingbird MSM (mainstream media). Satan’s design in this hoax is to turn people against each other just because of skin color – and the Salvation Army has now joined that diabolical endeavor.

Personally, I know at least hundreds, more like thousands of people who were born with white skin by divine design, who are not racist at all. In fact, most if not all of them desire to see others, including people with different color skin, to prosper. Oh, and there are people of every skin color who ARE full of hatred. Hatred/racism is not a matter of skin but rather of sin – sin in the heart.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

This is not about color of skin. It’s about a devil who seeks to turn mankind against each other. Only ungodly people are participating. And, speaking of ungodly people, let’s talk about the God-less devils who are currently running the Salvation Army.

The delusion being perpetrated by Satan’s world system and the Salvation Army, is to isolate “racism” to just one skin tone, which is laughable. And the Salvation Army is completely backslidden. They went “woke” which means they have been turned over to “strong delusion” by God Himself for not loving and obeying His truth (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). What they are doing is “after the working of Satan” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

Beware of the propaganda which is designed to turn people against each other. This is a divisive tactic of Satan himself.

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11

Jesus promised that:

“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11

The Holy Ghost promised that “in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” (1 Timothy 4:1).

“William Booth (founder of the Salvation Army) embarked upon his ministerial career in 1852, desiring to win the lost multitudes of England to Christ. He walked the streets of London to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor, the homeless, the hungry and the destitute.”

It’s more than obvious by their fruit, that the modern “Salvation” Army is not preaching the Gospel of Christ’s salvation to all of mankind. No, now it’s being run by unrepentant, demonic frauds, who are enriching themselves as they use the name of the LORD in vain (Exodus 20:7). They are cursed at the root (Job 5:3). The vile wolves now running the Salvation Army are among other things, spineless moral cowards. Think: Have they exposed the antichrist terrorist groups BLM, Antifa, Islam? No, instead, they are attacking the whole population of whites – who have made them rich. Oh, and the founder was white. I assume he was a racist also, right? 

“The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.” William Booth

The current leadership of the Salvation Army are now preaching a social gospel which is “another gospel.” This means they are “accursed” as they deny Christ though they use His holy name in vain to collect billions of dollars (Galatians 1:6-9). They no longer preach that “ALL” men have sinned against God and must repent to be saved, forgiven, and go to Heaven instead of hell. No, instead, they’re so deep in spiritual darkness that now they’ve brazenly turned to a certain segment of God’s human race and are blaming it all on them.

“The greatness of the man’s power is the measure of his surrender.” William Booth

Instead of being surrendered to the LORD Jesus and preaching His original Gospel, today’s false prophets of the Salvation Army have surrendered to Satan, to his world system, and have departed from the faith of the Gospel and are now condemning God’s people, disparaging His creation, instead of preaching His Word to them as Holy Scripture commands (Mark 16:15; 2 Timothy 4:2). These wolves are now isolating one segment of God’s one human race and attacking them, instead of living and operating biblically and preaching the Gospel of Christ to the whole of mankind which is universally fallen (Romans 3).

It’s now crystal clear that these demonic men who now run the Salvation Army have spent more time watching TV and being indoctrinated by Satan than they have reading God’s Word.

You’ve been warned: If you give to this organization or buy from them, you are bidding Godspeed to Satan’s agents and will be judged with them (2 John 10-11).

A mere glimpse at a few quotes from the beloved William Booth will clearly show just how far the devouring wolves who now run the Salvation Army have fallen. They are now an organization, army of Satan’s new world order.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Matthew 7:15-16

The current Salvation Army chief executive officer (CEO) is General Brian Peddle. Salvation Army false prophet Colonel Richard Munn wears the title of Director, International Social Justice Commission. Unbelievably, the Salvation Army has ceased preaching Christ’s Gospel and are now touting that they are social justice warriors. Total frauds.

UPDATE FROM THE GATEWAY PUNDIT:

“Get Woke, Go Broke: Salvation Army Quietly Removes Guide Telling White Donors To “Sincerely Apologize” For Their Racism After Intense Backlash

The Salvation Army is asking for more than donations this year.
According to recent reports the Christian charitable organization is asking all white donors to reflect on their racism this year.
Wow.

As a result of the guide becoming public, donors and supporters across the country have been rescinding their support of the organization en masse, which prompted the Salvation Army to discontinue the guide pending “appropriate review.” But despite removing the documents – for now – nothing in their statement indicates that they are going to back down from pushing woke ideology upon donors.

In fact, it’s quite the contrary. The charity now attempts to shift the blame by claiming that nefarious individuals are making “false claims” and misrepresenting the content to suit their own agenda, while simultaneously reaffirming the Salvation Army’s support for woke ideology.

Completely shameless.”

 

As you can see, the Salvation Army is now perpetuating the evil doctrine of CRT (critical race theory).

Anyone who apologizes for the skin tone GOD made them with is a total coward! ALL lives matter and anyone disparaging ANY part of God’s creation is accursed. 

“We know that we have passed from death unto life (here’s the proof), because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” 1 John 3:14-15

Did you catch that? Any person who hates ANY other person is a “murderer” in the holy eyes of the Almighty and does not have “eternal life” which means he’s as sure for hell as if he were already there. Repent now, sinner.

Dear Salvation Army Leadership,

It is with great sadness that I write this.

Amazingly, racism today is confined only to and exclusively attributed to those of just one segment of the human race. The false notion of “all white people are racist” is perpetrated daily via Satan’s minions, which now includes the Salvation Army. Notice here below in this statement from the Salvation Army that they are attacking and accusing only people with white skin as being racist.

This open letter would have been written regardless of the people group of a certain color of skin you attacked.

CRT (Critical Race Theory) is the lie that perpetrates the notion that all white people are racist. This is of the world and would be understandable being that they are clearly under Satan’s dominion. Yet, now we see the Salvation Army, instituting this same heretical system within their company and now coming out publicly to accuse all white people as racists. It is nearly understandable to see this evil coming out of the world system and yet not understandable to see it coming from the Salvation Army being that they claim to be a Christian organization.

The body of Christ MUST bring the divine answer to the world! And must demonstrate the love of our God! It’s biblical that sin must be blamed and not skin color. God addressed the sin of hatred in His Word, not any certain skin color.

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:35

Racism is hatred in the heart and not a skin color. Racism is a matter of the heart and not the color of ones skin. There is hatred in the hearts of men of every skin color. It’s a shame this self-evident truth even has to be stated.

The Cardinal Characteristic of Knowing God [podcast] 

“And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:20-23

Evil, sin emanates from the hearts of men, not their skin.

Instead of speaking words of affirmation of the truth, of healing, the Salvation Army has stepped to the forefront to bring words of hatred and division.

On the Day of Pentecost, the church began with men from “every nation” which means men of every people group under God’s Heaven. And, Christ’s kingdom will live for ever, for ages and ages to come, having no end, in Heaven with Christ the Creator, and containing men of “every nation.” God made us just one human race in His holy image – from Adam and Eve, then of the three sons of Noah (Genesis).

“And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation (ethnos – ethnic group) under heaven.” Acts 2:5

Jesus died to save a people to Himself out of every segment of His human race and that’s what we will see and be in His holy Heaven! There will be no racists in Heaven!

“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 (ethnic group);” Revelation 5:9

In each instance, ethnos is the Greek word here for “nation” … With this in mind, check out what Jesus foretold of these final days leading up to His return:

“But in every nation (people group) he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” Acts 10:35

“Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” Colossians 3:11

What you, the Salvation Army, has done, for which YOU are in need of repentance, is to join the hate mongering children of Satan, children of hate, by attacking, by isolating one of the segments of God’s creation, erroneously painting them all with the same sinister brush. 

Name one people group that should apologize for what skin color God made them?! … yeah I thought so!

Increased hatred was foretold for these last days – and the Salvation Army is participating, all while claiming to be Christian. The Salvation Army is clearly on the wrong side of prophecy and proving they are an organization given over to Satan and not Christ’s salvation. “Nation Shall Rise Against Nation” 

Name one part of God’s creation He permits us to disparage?! Yeah, thought so…

Applying the Golden Rule – Jesus Commanded…

“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Matthew 7:12

If we don’t want people disparaging those of our skin color, then we must never do it to others. Why would we? Jesus is teaching us here to ALWAYS put yourself in the shoes of others.

Clearly, the Salvation Army has left the preaching of the Gospel, the Great Commission, and is now engaging in Satan’s attempt to instill hatred between races. The Salvation Army is bringing division instead of wholeness to God’s creation. The original Gospel informs us that ALL men have sinned against our Maker and ALL men are in need of a born again, saving relationship with mankind’s only Savior – who bled on Calvary’s cruel cross, was buried, and raised again from the dead for our justification (Romans 1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 1 Timothy 1:15). Jesus Christ is His holy name.

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15

How is heart hatred (better known as “racism”) dealt with? With the Gospel, the message of Christ, the only cure for man’s greatest and core dilemma!

As a customer for many years, I am appalled at the Salvation Army’s racist attack on all people of a certain skin tone (white people in this specific case). The Salvation Army foolishly painted a whole segment of God’s creation with an ugly brush – which clearly reveals that your own hearts are full of racism. This was completely unwarranted. Apparently, the Salvation Army projected their own hearts’ darkness on every other person who has their same skin color. Romans 2:1-3 tells on you. In doing this, it seems they have projected their own racist hearts upon others.

FACT: There would be no Salvation Army without white people as their founder happened to have white skin and 80% or more of their donors and buyers are of a light skin color. Yet, the apostate Salvation Army forgot these simply facts in their drive to conform to the communist push to divide the nation, wrongly accusing a whole and entire people group of God’s creation. Communism is clearly Satan’s form of Government – to steal, kill, and destroy the people and the Salvation Army is now pushing it along with the rest of Satan’s kingdom (John 10:10). They clearly followed demonic dictates and we know this 100% because the stated NWO communist agenda is to divide and conquer using race. The Holy Spirit did not lead the Salvation Army to do this – demons did. And that proves that they are the ones in need of repenting (Matthew 7:1-6).

“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:20

This racist underpinning and content of the Salvation Army was previously hiding from the public eye – where they are erroneously assuming and accusing all white skinned people as being racist. But now, by God’s grace, they are exposed publicly as being racists.

Sin is universal. Romans 1-3. God is uncovering the iniquitous underpinnings of the Salvation Army, which is now publicly manifest for all to see. Jesus promised He would bring all our darkness to the light – and He’s doing this to bring us to repentance before it’s too late (Matthew 10:26). 

The Salvation Army’s leadership clearly doesn’t understand that the sin of hatred, including racism, is not a skin color. They never once addressed hatred as being of the wicked hearts of all men. It hides behind men of every skin color. No, rather they pinned it all down to just one specific race.

The Salvation Army predicated their whole argument on the false notion which assumes that “ALL white people are racist.” They are apostate and that’s why this is in their company’s employee workbook. Then they attempted to justify this racism they have instead of coming clean. This plainly reveals that those misleading the Salvation Army are following the world instead of Christ. Instead of preaching the original Gospel which clears this all up by the preaching of itself, they now use their position divisively with false accusation. According to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the reason He came to the earth to die for us all, we are one fallen human race in need of the salvation He alone died to mercifully grant us (John 3:16; Romans 2:11; Galatians 3:24; 1 Timothy 1:15, etc.).

Also, the evidence makes it observable that much of the hatred we see today comes from people other than white skinned people, yet the Salvation Army attacked all people of a certain skin color, isolating this sin of hatred to just one segment of God’s creation. This seems to reveal their own darkness (Matthew 7:1-5; Romans 2:1-3).

“For there is no respect of persons with God.” Romans 2:11 

The divine command to “love one another” appears 13 times in the New Testament and applies to ALL men, not just those of any certain skin color.

The Salvation Army has now openly joined the ranks of Satan’s stooges such as the race-baiting devils of our day which include racists like Stephen A. Smith, LeBron James, Je$$e Jackson, and Al $harpton. Have you noticed that the Salvation Army and these other dupes never speak healing but rather division? This alone clearly identifies them as having the fruit of their father the devil (John 8:44; 10:10; 1 Peter 5:8). In contrast there are men and women who are exposing these lies and speaking truth, speaking words of healing such as Jason Whitlock, Larry Elder, Morgan Freeman, Professor Thomas Sowell, Candace Owens, Diamond and Silk, The Hodge Twins, Black Conservative Patriot, etc.

DEAR Present day Salvation Army: The founder of the Salvation Army, William Boothe, is ashamed of your sinful apostasy.

While you call “all white people” to repent, it’s actually YOU who are the ones in need of repentance, hypocrites.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5

It’s ungodly, it’s the fruit of an evil heart to come against any whole segment of people based on the color of their skin, foolishly presuming you know the HEARTS of every person of any certain SKIN color. We see no such stereotyping in God’s Word where He addresses ALL men as sinners in need of the one Savior and not any specific segment. This is because we are all of one God and race. We all came from Adam and Eve and then Noah and his sons (Genesis).

God made just one human race and He said He looks at the hearts of men, not the color of their skin (1 Samuel 16:7).

“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

OPEN CHALLENGE TO THE SALVATION ARMY: Please produce one Bible verse which states that people born of any certain skin color are hate-filled racists. Also please show where God’s Word tells us that people born of any certain skin tone are wrong, are in sin, must apologize for such. Waiting.

Skin color is of God’s doing, not man’s, and while the sinful Salvation Army pretends to be defending people of one skin tone, they simultaneously and hypocritically attack and wholesale disparage those of another skin tone. The skin color people are born with was God’s choice, not theirs, and so they have nothing to apologize for. And all are to be loved as there is “NO respect of persons with God.” (Romans 2:11)

Furthermore, now that America has come so very far in race relations, you, the Salvation Army, claiming to be Christian, are now causing great injury to such progress. Instead of speaking a word of further healing, you re-introduce injury, you have attacked, you are seeking to divide people by their skin color which the Gospel never does.

America is just ONE nation under God and we are seeing straight through your hypocrisy Salvation Army. You are the ones in need of repenting.

ALL men are under sin and the LORD commands all men to repent, not just those of a certain color of skin:

“Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth ALL MEN every where (from every people group) to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.” Acts 17:29-31 

Included in the evils Jesus detailed and foretold would be transpiring just before His soon return, is racism – ethnos (a people group) attacking another people group.

“For nation (ethnos) shall rise against nation …” Matthew 24:7

By this alone we can conclude that the Salvation Army, while pretending to be Christian, is participating in the evil Christ promised would exist leading up to His return. We are just one human race, and one America. The memes on this page, directly from the Salvation Army’s own employee handbook, makes it clear that the Salvation Army is fulfilling prophecy as they have joined the minions of Satan to attack one segment of God’s creation. Their apostasy is clear in that they are not addressing mankind’s universal sin problem, but instead have chosen to attack just one segment of the human race. Oh, and that part of God’s one human race actually started the Salvation Army and is responsible for the wealth and hard work of it.

Personally, I have more good, godly friends who happen to have darker skin color than anyone should be blessed to have. The truth seems self-evident that not only are white skinned people not privileged above other races, facts seem to reveal that the racism is largely aimed at the white skinned population.

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

Those presently in leadership at the Salvation Army are in need of repentance and we hope they will hearken to the LORD and do just that.

The Chosen are being Called and Prepared to “Go” [podcast]


Jesus didn’t say “stay.”

Jesus commanded us to “Go” (Matthew 28:18-20).

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

“They Desire a Better Country”

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country , and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:” Genesis 12:1

“By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange COUNTRY, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:” Hebrews 11:9

“For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a COUNTRY.” Hebrews 11:14

“And truly, if they had been mindful of that COUNTRY from whence they came out, they might have had the opportunity to have returned.” Hebrews 11:15

“But now they desire a better COUNTRY, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.” Hebrews 11:16

Billions lie unreached.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.” Psalms 2:8

BE WARNED….

That if you dare ask God to prepare and use you, the adventure of serving as you are accomplishing His Great Commission is going to begin and gain steadily increasing traction and fruitfulness! Read John 15:1-16.

It all begins with a simple, sincere prayer, a request to God to use youand therefore begin now to prepare you.

“If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21

The LORD can use us to the degree we’ve sought Him for and submitted to His strippings, purgings, His preparation.

“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10

God has a plan to remove that which does not belong in you and to establish what does.

  • “to root out” (destructive)
  • “to pull down” (destructive)
  • “to destroy” (destructive)
  • “to throw down” (destructive)
  • “to build” (constructive)
  • “to plant” (constructive)

When Jesus cleansed the temple, after rooting out the evil, He then installed the purity, prayer, praise, and power (Matthew 21; John 2).

God has His order. One thing comes before the other.

When you Go, that’s when you are going to Know!

“Christianity is not American and America does not define Christianity! We need to stop trying to merge the two together. Jesus died for people all over this world, and Christianity existed long before America was even a thought. I am a Christian who physically resides in the USA, but this world is not my home. I long for an eternal kingdom.” Gloria Sykes

When you obey Christ and “Go” there will be a harvest of soulssome you will see and many you will not.

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 with him.” Psalms 126:5-6

Thanking God and you for pausing to lift up the blessed saved souls to Jesus in PA. From Tom and Karen Cochran:

“God has opened up a door for us to minister in a nursing home. People in there are hungry. They have been stripped of their pride! They need help just to do everyday things we take for granted. Very few have family or friends who visit. All their material possessions are pretty much gone, and once put in a home they know this is probably where they will die. They have no hope. And that is why they are hungry! Jesus gives them hope! We have seen many completely changed by the gospel and power of Christ! Jesus saved a one- hundred- and-five-year-old woman, and after she prayed she began to sing ‘Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so’!”

People are eternal. Are you investing in people, eternal souls?

Are you personally participating in, contributing your time, talents, and treasures into the Great Commission Jesus gave us? See the end of Matthew and Mark.

MESSAGE ON AMERICA:

“Lately I have been seeing many taking to the streets to preach the gospel and it is shocking to see the response of Americans. In their pride and arrogance they keep right on walking and don’t even look up. Too busy in their comfortable lives. Headed for the path of destruction and they could care less.”

REPLY:

Seems this is how America could, should be viewed: “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city” (Matthew 10:14-15).

Who are the people who are going to be with Jesus?

“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are CALLED, and CHOSEN, and FAITHFUL.” Revelation 17:14

Luke 9:57-62

And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Of this passage at the end of Luke 9, one writer notes the following:

“9:61 The third would-be disciple resembled the first in that he volunteered to follow Christ. He was like the second in that he uttered the contradiction, “Lord … me first.” He wanted first to say goodbye to his family. In itself, the request was reasonable and proper, but even the common civilities of life are wrong if they are placed ahead of prompt and complete obedience.

9:62 Jesus told him that once he put his hand to the plow of discipleship, he must not look back; otherwise he was not fit for the kingdom of God. Christ’s followers are not made of half-hearted stuff or dreamy sentimentality. No considerations of family or friends, though lawful in themselves, must be allowed to turn them aside from utter and complete abandonment to Him. ….

And so we have three cardinal hindrances to discipleship illustrated in the experience of these men:

1. Material comforts.
2. A job or an occupation.
3. Family and friends.

Christ must reign in the heart without a rival. All other loves and all other loyalties must be secondary.”

Matthew 9:35-38

The 3 Ways God’s People Participate in Christ’s Great Commission

1. Praying for Christ’s laborers (Matthew 9:35-38).

2. Witnessing, sowing and communicating the Word (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 8:11).

3. Supporting, supplying those of God’s people who are doing His Great Commission, preaching the Word (Matthew 6:19-21; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11; Philippians 2:25; 4:16-20).

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21

PRAYER: LORD, sanctify my life. This is YOUR life. Put me exactly where you want me on Your planet. Use this life dear LORD. In Jesus’ name.

“A Just Weight is His Delight” and Gouging is Sin

Gouging is Ungodly – and God is Watching, Sees All, and will Repay Accordingly

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:7-8

Scripture informs us of the LORD that “true and righteous are thy judgments” and God requires that those who know Him will deal justly – in just weights and measures (Revelation 16:7).

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8

Doing justly before God would mean dealing equitably with men. When you read the following passage, keep justice, greed, and fearing God in mind:

“A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. 2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. 4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. 5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. 7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. 8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.” Proverbs 11:1-8

Wicked unrepentant people forge ahead in their sin, continuing to live separated from God, vainly believing that because He hasn’t yet judged them that He won’t in the future. Justice is a death march to the irrevocable fire of eternal hell.

“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11

So when you go to a store, who has decided the pricing on each item? you or them? obviously when 2 individuals negotiate for the sale of an item between themselves, they come to an agreement on the price. the fact that a person in a situation like this, can pay whatever they wish for something if it has value to them, in no way negates just weights and measures as begins with God Himself …. There are standards to be measured against in determining the value of something. you can’t blank out what we find originating in Scripture. So, have you ever heard of real estate appraisal? If so, what’s this field of work for? What does it measure? What’s its purpose?

Charging more than the actual value is sin unless the buyer requests to pay more for it perhaps in order to obtain the item before someone else does.

Gouging arises from wicked hearts who greedily covet the things of this fleeting world. Greed is not a virtue, it’s a soul damning sin.

“Labour not to be rich (the sin of greed): cease from thine own wisdom. 5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. 6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. … 17  Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.” Proverbs 23:4-7, 17

The utmost fear and wisdom of God must be observed from His Word when setting prices for products and services. Seems best to under price a bit rather than over price, gouge. In the flesh, is it not easy to get greedy when setting prices for the product and/or services your company offers? Yet what is the long term affect on your community, your clients?

Think about those people you’ve done business with who price fairly and how that made you feel about them and how it affected your repeat business with them. Seems to me that those who fairly price their product/services are exponentially more likely to be established in a community with good reputation and honor.

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.” Proverbs 22:1

In every economy there are standards of measure and appropriate pricing or prices set accordingly…. The further a people distance themselves from God, from the instruction of His Word, the deeper in rebellion that nation plunges, the more skewed are the weights and measures. John Quincy was instrumental in laying the foundation for just weights and balances in America.

“John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States, liked to measure things – the width of a river, the distance between two points – by counting his steps…. When Adams became Secretary of State in 1817, his fascination with measurements coincided with the desire of Congress to establish a uniform standard for weights and measures across the United States. After three-and-a-half years of obsessive work (which frustrated his wife, Louisa), John Quincy Adams produced his Report Upon Weights and Measures. He thought it would be his most important literary accomplishment.

Fixing the Standard of Weights and Measures

The importance of everyone in the country using the same system of weights and measures was recognized by the founders of the United States. The Constitution gave Congress the power to ‘fix the Standard of Weights and Measures’ (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5). However, there was no agreement as to which weights and measures should become the national standard. Each of the original thirteen states was using its own weights and measures, which differed from those used by other states. No Congressman wanted to be blamed for changing his constituents’ customary way of measuring things.

All of the early presidential messages to Congress included an appeal for legislation to establish a uniform system of weights and measures. In 1790, at the urging of George Washington, the House of Representatives asked Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson to draw up a plan. Jefferson put forward two options: one a refinement of the existing English system of weights and measures; the other a new decimal system based on the foot. Jefferson’s report was transmitted by the House to the Senate, where a select committee concluded that, since Britain and France were each considering national standards of measure which could become a universal standard, it was not desirable, ‘at present, to introduce any alteration in the measures and weights which are now used in the United States.’ (2) In 1796, the House passed ‘An act directing certain experiments to be made to ascertain uniform standards of weights and measures for the United States,’ but the bill was never taken up by the Senate.”

Applying a higher or lower price for what something is actually worth is the definition of unjust weights and balances. Today we see the greed of men manifested when they overcharge or gouge their neighbor by charging more than what is just for a service or product.

Gouging is sin, it’s a form of not loving your neighbor, it’s taking advantage of your neighbor, your fellow man.

“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Matthew 7:12

“Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” Matthew 22:39

“Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” Romans 13:10

A friend of mine told me: Those in business today who gouge people by overcharging them do it because no one stands up and holds them accountable.” In other words, as long as they can get away with it, they will do it.

He is correct. As I think back, there one particular example that comes to mind of recent, where in my estimation, I was the victim of gouging, of unjust weights and balances.

$22 for a plate lunch, a to-go lunch which was not a large volume of food and no drink was included (which I personally never get anyway) and they didn’t even have empty cups or water available.

These gougers have all kinds of ways, sayings, they use to “justify” their charges, such as “it’s industry standard pricing,” or “standard price charged by everyone in our industry.” etc.

After being gouged, I contacted them, their leadership, and sought to reason. Neither budged and so I exposed them with one star reviews and an explanation as to why I viewed their charges as gouging, as an unjust weight and balance.

“Just balances, just weights… shall ye have.” Leviticus 19:36

“A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.” Proverbs 11:1

We usually quote the first part of this verse and apply it to spiritual balance, which is fitting  and true. Yet the application of this statement involves charging our neighbor equitably for goods and services.

Isn’t it best to charge fairly and sleep well?

Stealing from others, gouging, unjustly greedily overcharging others, brings curses which includes not being able to sleep soundly. Listen to the wisdom of our God in Solomon:

“The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. 13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. 14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 15 As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. 16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?” Ecclesiastes 5:12-16 

Covetousness and greed run rampant among fallen men and yet greed and covetousness will reap the just reward of eternal damnation.

“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

“Thou shalt not steal.” Exodus 20:15

Overcharging another, gouging, is stealing. Any person who is perpetrating thievery on others, and this includes overcharging/gouging, is ungodly and cannot sleep well. Such is an unrepentant sinner. Is it really worth and unclean conscience? Is it worth spending eternity in hell? Though completely ignored by the professing apostate church world today, all sin must be cut off from our lives, must be crucified (Mark 9:43-49).

“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?” Mark 8:36-37

“Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.” Leviticus 19:36

“A just weight and balance are the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag are his work.” Proverbs 16:11 

“But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” Deuteronomy 25:15

PRAYER: Father You are holy. Please forgive any greed in my heart. Please, from this moment forward, bring deep conviction of sin to my conscience LORD. Break me to the core of my being and grant that all stony places in my heart be replaced with an heart of flesh. Please unite my heart to fear Thy name dear LORD. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

Faith in Resurrection [podcast]


When we die downward and are dead and buried with Christ, we can be assured that God is going to raise us upward.

“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:11

Romans 6:1-14

“1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 

2  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 

3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 

4  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. 

5  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 

6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed (brought to naught, nullified), that henceforth we should not serve sin. 

7  For he that is dead is freed from sin. 

8  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 

9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 

10  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 

11  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

12  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 

13  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 

14  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
