The LORD has created and then died to save you into His kingdom family. He saved you primarily and first and foremost to know Him (John 17:3). This relationship with the LORD must always be first priority and anything else is damning idolatry (Exodus 20:3-4).

Some people are so worn out by their involvement with their local “church” that they don’t even deeply study God’s Word for themselves. Something’s got to give – and for the God-fearing, the local church involvement will give!

“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

Many today are so busy going to “church” that they don’t have time for God.

TODAY: A dear Christian young lady asked me why I am not part of a church group any longer. A gently-communicated a litany of doctrines purposely not being taught in the modern churches. Also the fact that that the King James Bible is no where to be found. They only use pitifully lame fake “bibles.” It’s a busine$$ to the modern pastors who refuse to preach cardinal biblical doctrines such as the divinity of Christ (Christology), hell, repentance, judgment to come, confessing and cleansing ourselves of all sin, the return of Christ and being ready for it at all times, the cross – crucified life, etc.

In these modern churches church (cult) members are conditioned by the pastors to fish for new church members – not to minister the Gospel, the Word, and win souls to Jesus – but rather to “church the unchurched” for the self-serving benefit of the CEO pastors who are building their own kingdom in this fleeting world.

Anyone attempting to make you their “church member” is corralling you for their own self serving purposes. You are bought by the very and precious blood of Christ and made a member of His universal body of saints (Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4, etc.). That’s your identity, not some local church and being a member of it. 38 times the Bible uses the word “body” to describe the people of God the world over, the whole body of Christ. This clearly communicates that Jesus does not desire that His people pigeon hole their perspective into one local gathering, one building on Sunday morning, but rather to love all of His children no matter where they may be geographically. Such created sectarianism which is what Christ rebuked in His then young disciples.

“And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. 50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.” Luke 9:49-50

The sectarianism, the separation we see today causes born again saints to feel one with the believers at their local gathering on Sunday morning and yet distant from those blood-bought saints they work with on Monday morning.

So many today waste their time, energy, money, and allegiance on a local church – instead of Jesus! Sad.

Contrary to popular belief, Jesus says “Come unto me” and “Follow me”, and not “Go find a church and join it.” (Matthew 11:28-30

Jesus and the apostles went to the people for the most part of their ministries. (Matthew 9:35-38; Book of Acts). A physical building called “church” doesn’t make someone an official minister of Christ. In most cases, pulpits in buildings are “manned” by wolves in sheep’s clothing who’ve set up a church busine$$ (2 Peter 2:1-3).

Jesus didn’t die to make His people good church attenders or members but rather His disciples – those who “daily” deny self, take up the cross and follow HIM (Luke 9:23-24).

“And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” Mark 1:17

There is no record of Jesus or His holy apostles teaching men to become good church members or attenders! Read that again please. Making men good church attenders or members is the work of wicked religious men! Beware. Follow Jesus!

Faithful to fellowship, which should be “DAILY”, is God’s will and not church attendance once or twice weekly at a certain location!

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Jude 3

The modern church is catering to the carnal instead of preaching the whole counsel of God’s Word (2 Corinthians 2:17; 2 Timothy 4:2-4). Beware of the cross-less false gospel being peddled by those God says are “accursed” for preaching “another gospel” (Galatians 1:6-9). They are the “enemies of the cross of Christ” our LORD (Philippians 3:18-19). | The Modern Church Exposed

God’s will is for each of those He saves is to become grounded in a “daily” cross walk with Him (Luke 9:23-24).

Identity Check: As a blood-bought, born again saint of Christ, you’re not a church member of a local church. Stop it. You are a born again, blood bought son/daughter of the King of all kings who came and died, was buried, and raised again from the dead to purchase you to Himself. You are a member of the one, universal body of Christ! You were bought with Christ’s blood and belong to HIM and not some man’s ministry, organization, or circus called “church” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 7:23; Isaiah 2:22).

SO you go to church yet aren’t learning God’s Word, aren’t digging in it daily, diligently, aren’t ministering to others? Wow! You are clearly “lukewarm” and have been snared in the trap of the devil, ready to be spued (rejected) as Jesus promised (Luke 3:15-16). Repent now and run for your life – lest you go to hell with the wicked (Matthew 24:10-13; Revelation 3:15-16).

Christine Farr writes: “Subject: Questions on The Truth About Church Attendance’

UPDATE FROM A DEAR SISTER WHO READ THIS POST AND LISTENED TO THE PODCAST:

Christine Farr writes: “Subject: Questions on The Truth About Church Attendance

Message: You wrote, ‘Think about this: How many church-attending Christians do you personally know who are on fire, Christ-glorifying, Scripture-literate daily disciples?’ Well, this is one of the issues I was contending with: Here I sit (with my husband), a student of the Word, not a scholar by any measure but a serious student who has a pretty good grasp of the Scriptures. And all around me are babes in Christ who have been like that (babes) for as long as I’ve known them! AND they are more faithful to church than I am (and more faithful to church than to God!). But I am the one growing and learning …. and they are still in grade school, babes. And my education has not come to me solely from the preaching of the Word but mostly (99%) from my own personal studies. I also see this contradiction. So, I talked to the Lord about It, and He began to stir something in me that caused me to feel like sitting in church was a waste of time as I could use that time to be home at my desk studying and learning the Word. The fact that my husband was on the same page with me was a confirmation that God was working. Then my dear Christian sister said the most profound thing to me when I explained my situation, ‘You’ve outgrown that pastor.’ God knows how to answer our prayers!”

WE SHOULD CONSIDER STARTING a fellowship grounded in Christ, upon His Word….. “finding a church” is futility in these final days and nothing but a trap. Simply facilitate a gathering (Hebrews 10:25). We must be HIS church 😉  Check this out: Fellowship Defined by Holy Scripture

There’s no doubt that some church gatherings offer at least a small measure of edification for believers. Yet, we must take a step back and ask this question: Just what has the modern church–all this attending church–really produced?

Think about this: How many church attending “Christians” do you personally know who are on fire, Christ-glorifying, Scripture-literate daily disciples?

If God is calling you out of the church attendance lifestyle, which has robbed, ruined, wasted, and damned untold millions, obey Him. It’s late. Isn’t it time to mobilize and use your faculties, your life, your energies and resources for Christ’s kingdom and cease building the church businesses of sinful men?

Isn’t it time we stopped funding the frauds and their carnal aspirations and agendas?

Jesus never told us to just “huddle up” or to make gathering together an end in and of itself. No, He commanded us to …

  • “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15)
  • “Occupy till I come.” (Luke 19:13)
  • etc.

If it be for this reason alone, all true disciples today, in this final hour, should depart from the modern church:

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:15-16

According to Christ, all it takes to go to hell is to get saved and then die lukewarm.

Oh and it’s not till you come out of Sodom as did Lot, that you look back from a distance and see the Christ-denying catastrophe of the modern church for what it is – bellowing with smoke, up in flames, torched from Heaven!

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

Read the Bible for yourself beloved. Read it daily, thoroughly, intentionally, intently – to know its Author – the One who shed His blood to save you unto Himself (John 17:3).

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

Did John the Baptist corner himself in a weekly mutual admiration society clown show call the “church”? No. Did Jesus and His apostles? No. The fellowship spoken of in the often misused verse of Hebrews 10:25 is not at all what we see in the modern church world.

You allegiance is first to God and then to His people – daily – and not some church business that is doing nothing to root and ground you deeply into Christ. | Rooted and Grounded in Christ

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:6-10

True fellowship in the New Testament record looks more like Acts 2:42-47.

“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” Acts 2:42-47

Only the LORD Himself can add to His blood-bought church in the earth. Notice “THE LORD ADDED TO THE CHURCH daily such as should be saved” in contrast to false leaders building their own nickels, noses, and numbers via church membership, etc. (Acts 2:47) Mere men who seek to “church the unchurched” are self-willed rebels operating under their own self-serving greedy agenda, using the name of the LORD in vain to build their own empires – void of essential biblical truths such as the virgin birth and divinity of Jesus Christ, hell, judgment to come, the imperative of repentance, holiness, etc. Only Christ, the Head of His body, can add to HIS church which He promised He would “build.”“I will build MY church.” (Matthew 16:18) While enterprising antichrist’s build their own “churches”, Christ is building His one remnant body, organically!

Just as is the case with your body, your spiritual immune system is made healthy by the intake of clean healthy foods, right? Right. Ingesting the words of God daily, plentifully, diligently, and voraciously, is essential to your spiritual health (Jeremiah 15:16).

Chosen, Ordained, Joyfully Fruitful [podcast]


“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,

and ordained you, that ye should go and bring

forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that

whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name,

he may give it you.” John 15:16

  • “Ye have not chosen me”
  • “I have chosen you”
  • “and ordained you”
  • “that ye should go and bring forth fruit”
  • “and that your fruit should remain”

Of this truth, the Believer’s Bible Commentary notes the following:

“15:16 Lest there be any tendency for them to become discouraged and give up, Jesus reminded them that He was the One who chose them. This may mean that He chose them to eternal salvation, to discipleship, or to fruitfulness. He had appointed the disciples to the work which lay before them. We should go and bear fruit. Fruit may mean the graces of the Christian life, such as love, joy, peace, etc. Or it may mean souls won for the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a close link between the two. It is only as we are manifesting the first kind of fruit that we will ever be able to bring forth the second.

The expression “that your fruit should remain” leads us to think that fruit here means the salvation of souls. The Lord chose the disciples to go and bring forth lasting fruit. He was not interested in mere professions of faith in Himself, but in genuine cases of salvation. L. S. Chafer notes that in this chapter we have prayer effectual (v. 7), joy celestial (v. 11), and fruit perpetual (v. 16). “That whatever you ask … .” The secret of effective service is prayer. The disciples were sent forth with the guarantee that the Father would grant them whatever they asked in Christ’s name.”

Adam Clarke writes;

“The first ministers of the Gospel were the choice of Jesus Christ; no wonder, then, that they were so successful. Those whom men have since sent, without the appointment of God, have done no good. The choice should still continue with God, who, knowing the heart, knows best who is most proper for the Gospel ministry.

To be a genuine preacher of the Gospel, a man must –

1. Be chosen of God to the work.
2. He must be placed in the true vine – united to Christ by faith.
3. He must not think to lead an idle life, but labor.
4. He must not wait till work be brought to him, but he must go and seek it.
5. He must labor so as to bring forth fruit, i.e. to get souls converted to the Lord.
6. He must refer all his fruit to God, who gave him the power to labor, and blessed him in his work.
7. He must take care to water what he has planted, that his fruit may remain – that the souls whom he has gathered in be not scattered from the flock.
8. He must continue instant in prayer, that his labors may be accompanied with the presence and blessing of God – Whatsoever ye shall Ask.
9. He must consider Jesus Christ as the great Mediator between God and man, proclaim his salvation, and pray in his name. – Whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, etc. See Quesnel.”

God alone ordains His people to His work and brings them

through many purging seasons to cause His fruitfulness in

them, preparing them to bear more of His fruit.

God chose us and blessed us with the ability to repent and

receive Christ. As His people, He’s also ordained us to “go

and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain.”

As we read this discourse from our LORD (John 15 and 17),

we discover that He is speaking of that abiding fellowship we

have with Him, and how out of it is borne the good fruit of

His ministry in and through our life.

Being rooted in that oneness, the abiding relationship with

Christ, is all-important to our relationship with Him and the

Father. As his student, His disciple, may the reader be

encouraged to pour prayerfully over these truths captured,

and given to us in John, chapters 15 and 17.

Isaiah 43

“But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2  When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3  For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4  Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5  Fear not: for I am with thee … “

Prayer: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, please make me one with You. Please deeply root and establish my life in an abiding fellowship with You dear LORD.

Kiss Jesus Or be Crushed as His Enemy! [podcast]


Satan’s Pitiful Petty Perverted Pawns have an Expiration Date!

“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.” Isaiah 13:9 

Psalm 2 is Prophetic of Christ and of His Return to Take back Possession of His Planet, Earth

The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed

1  Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 
2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 
3  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 
4  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 
5  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 
6  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 
7  I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 
8  Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 
9  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. 
10  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 
11  Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 
12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. 

GOD told us He’s laughing at these luciferians and all their “elaborate plans” to control humanity. Read Psalms 2. Jesus is coming. His enemies will be crushed under His holy, Almighty feet (Romans 16:20).

“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” Romans 16:20

The future belongs exclusively to Jesus Christ and His followers. Read the book of Revelation!

“And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.” Matthew 21:44

Jesus is coming back “In flaming fire taking vengeance.”

“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10

The Coming of the Son of Man

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:25-28 

Just as Aaron’s rod swallowed up the rods of the sorcerers of Egypt (the world), so shall Christ’s kingdom swallow up the kingdoms of this world! (Exodus 7:12; Daniel 2:44; 7:14) Will you be a part of Christ’s eternal kingdom?  

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15

Bow now or burn forever.

All who refuse to repent, bowing down to “kiss the Son” of God will perish in their own corruption and be violently vanquished into the bowels of eternal damnation, the prison of fire, which will then be “cast into the lake of fire.”

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:14-15

“EVERY Knee”

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11
