  1. Do you hesitate to praise God and share the word of God because you do not want to offend another? Our nation uses the term, “political correctness” which is simply a combination of words to express a theory rooted in the darkness. Men teach that you should be silent in your belief and in your praise for it may offend another who does not believe. We are to seek to be at peace with all men, but the testimony of praise is not to be silenced by the philosophy of darkness. All breath and life is held within the hands of the Father and he is to be praised. Do not let the foolishness of others lead you to be silent in your praise, for praise must be declared. Speak truth always, and speak truth even when the ears around you do not desire to hear truth. You are not to be offensive unto others, but you must not be silent in your testimony of praise. I try not to be offensive in manner, but I accept that in our day and age, truth will offend. This should not lead us to silence and we should never hide behind "political correctness". I truly believe that "political correctness" is a way that darkness and evil uses to silence truth and light. It isn't "politically correct" to state that children need to be taught the ways of Christ and praise and worship should be in our schools. It isn't "politically correct" to state that God created man and woman and that marriage was established by God, and that marriage is not to be between two men or between two women. It isn't "politically correct" to state that abortion is the greatest evil and the greatest blight against our nation. In the name of "political correctness" darkness is proclaimed and light is silenced.

  2. No. If they get offended by me praising God they most likely would not like me in the first place.

  3. Oh and PS:: If someone is unjustly launching personal attacks upon you then you can avail yourself of the Ignore feature that Worthy boards provides.. Sadly there are people online who cannot control their tempers and use the tactic of attacking the person because they lack the ability to effectively respond to the ideas / doctrines they disagree with.. So take the time to weed out those people who do not respond in the way Christians should..

  4. This is all too true as this world has been turned over to a debased mind (Romans 1:18-32). Why? John 3:19 tells us why : "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." I do and speak as I am moved to by His Spirit - if that gets me in trouble, so be it.

  5. The vast majority of dreams are just our brain restoring chemical balance while we sleep. They can sometimes reflect our mental state. For example, for a time I was much too concerned with my job and under much stress. My dreams during this time almost always consisted of images from my day at work. After I stopped worrying about work so much, my dreams went back to typical randomness. One thing to note about spiritual or prophetic dreams is that they were rare occurrences in an individual's life. Joseph (OT) had 2 such dreams, not hundreds. Abimelech had one. Joseph (NT) only had a few and at times when he needed to make an important decision and those were quite explicit and impossible to miss. Most of our dreams are relatively random and perhaps reflect something going on in our lives. Dreams of direction from God are relatively rare and those receiving them know there is something very different about those dreams. I don't think there is much to understand in dreams except that recurring patterns or dreams might give some insight into things that deeply worry us. The rare dreams from God will also in some manner include God's guidance for understanding them. Both Joseph (OT) and Daniel when interpreting dreams for rulers said that the interpretations come from God.

  6. Dreams are images and pictures that your mind shows you while you sleep. While the other parts of your body slows way down when you sleep your mind stays very active. You subconscious is working in your mind when you sleep. Maybe even trying to work out some unresolved issues.

  7. Well, I think that you are correct, God doesn't expect us to not have a safety net as long as we aren't spending our money on sinful things or accumulating earthly treasures for ourselves. As for Dr. Jeremiah, he has amassed a personal net worth of approximately $21M, so I would say he might want to remove the mote from his own eye. As for Dr. Stanley, he is one of the poorest of the major TV preachers with a net worth of about $1.5M but even he couldn't very tell someone "not to hoard your money" either. It's why we need to look at how those who are telling us how to spend our money are spending theirs. I agree that we should give and not hoard and I also believe that the message gets quite ambiguous when it comes from those who have amassed small fortunes for themselves preaching that very message.

  9. Watch the videos. They show the numbers, the graphs, and even the newspaper articles from the 19th and 20th centuries. Bottom line, there are warm years and there are cold years (or decades). And while it's warmer in one area relative to normal, it may be colder in another area relative to normal. Also, his analysis of known sea level rises and falling is interesting. What people forget is that sometimes it is localized because the LAND also falls and rises. But unlike the sea, it can be local. e.g. the "sea level" rises in one place and falls in another because the sea isn't rising or falling at all. It is the land in each place that is either rising or falling. But seriously, watch some of the videos. You'll see what I mean. There is no AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) or ACC (Anthropogenic Climate Change). It's all a power grab. It's a bunch of nonsense and there is plenty of readily available information to prove it.

  10. Agree totally with @frienduff thaylorde @turtletwo and all those who say that Jesus is the ONLY way. Jesus is the only way to eternal life. The whole bible right the way through from Genesis to Revelations and all the books in between point to Jesus and tell us He is the one, true and only way to Heaven. Becky. X

  11. Amen. Accept no substitute. False doctrines abound because isolated scriptures are cherry picked while so many other verses are disregarded. We must take the Bible as a whole...cover to cover. Satan is the author of confusion. We must give him no place. 2 Timothy 3:16 states,"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" All means EVERY scripture. No cherry picking allowed. "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)

  12. And an big fat special thank you unto my dear loved sister misha . Who by the grace of GOD has pointed to JESUS ALONE as savoir and OUR ONLY HOPE . When our time is up its up , IF we have HIM then our end is of great beauty and hope . But if we confess a false love , false gospel which gives the idea that somehow its version of love is what saves and that folks can love without knowing CHRIST . ITS FALSE and its end is the second death . FOR we ought to remember that the LOVE that comes FROM GOD , LOVES CHRIST ABOVE ALL . And letting folks even once believe it is not necessary to acknowledge him as LORD and savoir and somehow they are saved because of this rome inclusive version of love , DOES NOT HONOR THE SON . IT DENIES HIM . ANY LOVE that comes FROM GOD , WOULD LOVE CHRIST ABOVE EVERYTHING . Anything less is false , its humanity centered and NOT CHRIST centered . And we must be CHRIST CENTERED and from that we would know the RIGHT WAY to LOVE people . FOR that love desires none to perish and thus IT WOULD POINT to confessing HIM as LORD and LOVING HIM , OBEYNG HIM . Not a twisted idea of a love which is dead and points to nothing , BUT its mother ROME who first brought it in. Folks I hope we see what is going on . I TRULY DO . I KNOW SOME DO .

  13. THANK YOU very much for helping me and others expose what is going on . I truly believe this to be the end time delusion . THINK about it THEY WILL have a form of godliness , you know like saying love your neighbor as yourself and doing good , YET deny the POWER of GOD . AND what is the POWER OF GOD unto salvation . THE TRUE GOSPLE IS . THE YE MUST BELEIEVE IN HIS NAME and confess HIM GOSPLE . Sonshine we better all buckle down , because as you might already know , THIS love stuff IS GROWNG MASSIVE even all over churches heck its all over the false religions too . THINK about how strong a delusion it is . WHEN It can convince folks that CONFESSING JESUS as LORD IS NOT necessary , but that if you have THIS LOVE they preach you somehow know him . DOES THAT SOUND ANYTHING like what JESUS and the apostles taught . DID we ever hear paul , peter or others going from synagogue to synagogue or house to house or in the streets , proclaiming What we hear today . NO , they MADE the name of JESUS KNOWN , they said BELIEVE IN HIM . In truth this is no love they preach . WHEN the men on the day of Pentecost asked peter WHAT must we do in order to be saved , DID HE say YE MUST BELIEVE IN LOVE . DID the jewish leaders tell the apostels to quit preaching THIS LOVE , OR DID THEY SAY THIS NAME . Exactly . THIS is a total deception unlike anything I have ever seen and it grows massive and worse . Luigi is not alone , THIS STUFF has infected not only other religions BUT Christianity big time . WHO would try and remove the CORNER STONE and put an image that bears its own likeness , ................SATAN WOULD . HE has always desired the worship and are we not warned that near the end things would get wickedly bad with inquity and massive delusion would abound . This false love is nothing more than good works focused for the agenda of a one world religion and mindset in which all who go under it have been greatly deceived . ANY LOVE that can say CONFESSING JESUS AS LORD is not necessary , IS FLAT OUT HATE and they know it not . Because the gospel includes the very fact that we must believe from the heart and CONFESS with the mouth . ANd that confession is made unto SALVATION . I SEE THE DEVIL IS BEHIND THIS ENTIRE end time move .

  14. He was using this as an example to HOW we should love our neighbor , NOT as an example that without confessing HIM as LORD and savoir one can do good or have love and be saved . You are preaching an incorrect gospel . Their is no all inclusive JESUS that accepts other religions or athiests based on this love that the world in this last generation has been teaching . NO LOVE that comes from GOD would desire any to perish . YOU agree with that last part . RIGHT . WELL , if they don't come to Christ and acknowledge HIM as LORD and SAVOIR , they will perish . AND that LOVE comes not from GOD . Yall, this generation is in trouble big time . We are being taught to focus on a love that does not acknowledge JESUS the way HE is to be acknowledged . AND THAT IS , YE must confess HIM as LORD , believing from the heart that GOD rose him From the dead and that HE alone is the only one , the only NAME given unto men whereby they may be saved . We need to go back and learn the examples of also HOW the apostles preached the gospel. You will never hear such speeches as you and this generation make . YOU will hear , IN ORDER to be saved YE MUST BELEIVE IN CHRIST , CONFESS HIM as LORD and savoir and then ALL the good works will follow . THE TRUE LOVE will Follow . Not this stuff I hear today . IF we allow or teach folks that all they need is this love and yet we preach not the dire need of JESUS to confess him then we preach nothing but a sensual love based on doing good and not being saved . I know this is all over the place and getting worse . ITS why I am pleading with you now , You must start over and learn CHRIST for yourself . YOU must cease from this , and LEARN JESUS and what the apostles taught and said Its no good to try and use only certain scrips to make a point if that point omits other parts . IN order to be saved , WE MUST BELEIVE IN HIM , HIS NAME , HE as LORD and SAVOIR . For to say to believe in love and yet NOT INCLUDE JESUS as the ONLY WAY to suggest that other religions and atheist can go to heaven IF they believed in this version of love , IS extremely blasphemous . The apostels did not holler out YE MUST BELEIVE IN LOVE TO BE SAVED . THEY SAID that NAME OF JESUS . FOR any love that omits that NAME as BEING the only name under heaven and suggest that somehow this love can save , IS Total blasphemy . IN fact , ITS NOT LOVE at all , ITS DEATH . AND GOD IS LOVE and thus HE desires none to perish. Take note HE SENT the SON that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM shall be saved . THAT is the LOVE that comes from GOD NOT as mans love which in truth this is an agenda . ITS a one world mindset that will honor an idea about love , RATHER THAN CHRIST ALONE . AND PS , that cometh NOT FROM GOD , but rather from he who said I shall BE AS GOD . Just cease and start over .

  15. Tigger 56, Great point. Jesus was not politically correct when He overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple. Jesus' stand for truth and righteousness had to come before His concern about offending someone. I look to him for courage in declaring my faith in an increasingly scary hostile world. 1 Peter 2:7-8, “So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” Matthew 11:6, “And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”

Heroic passengers of Flight 93 upon learning of the attacks in NYC and DC, attempted to take back the plane from the hijackers. Flight 93 crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside, not far from Pittsburgh. My childhood friend from Pittsburgh visited the memorial in Pennsylvania. Besides the memorial, there is a chapel which has a mural showing the hands of God reaching out to the doomed plane. My friend cried at that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_93

But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate - Revelation 2:6 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. - Revelation 2:15 The Nicolaitans were those who lorded it over the saints (Nico - victory, Laos - people). They are still with us today, forgetting what the Lord told us that whoever wants to be the greatest, should be the least and servant of all. Love & Shalom

  21. The human mind is more complex than can be fully comprehended. Dreams more than not come from our own psyche of mental and emotional thoughts. Many dreams have little or no sense to them whatsoever. Others, and I know this is also my personal experience, can evolve out of how things are going in the present or past tense. Work or former occupations, people, friends and family relationships, living or passed on, etc. I've had some very unusual ones in the last year and a half. Most of them were situationally related to my present environment. The rest are listed above. Dream on, brother. Unless they seem spiritually oriented, don't even try to interpret them. I'd say most Christian believers have few they would consider from the Lord. Attempting to understand them will only give you a headache! God will give enlightenment if meant to.

  23. Yet another couple convicted of murder have been recently recaptured after escaping law enforcement. And yet another interview by someone who said "They seemed so caring and kind... I can't believe they could do this..." Typical of the human race in a mass denial about the human condition (or fallen sin nature). Even as I discussed this with a loved one who watched the newscast with me, they added the caveat: "people without Christ! People without Christ are capable of all this. People in Christ cannot." I did not pursue this with them, because it would have just ended up in an argument. People in Christ ARE capable of anything human nature can degenerate to. Especially when in denial about how evil we are BY NATURE. Denial, ignorance, disbelief... all unleash the potential in ALL of us to do evil we could not even imagine ourselves capable of. In Christ... IF we are aware of how our human nature is, IF we keep it under discipline under constant vigil, IF we live by the Spirit of God living in us (which is a constant / continual choice clouded by fleshly needs and interests*) THEN we would be incapable of _________________________ (fill in the blank). * this is why fasting and meditative prayer puts us in a more spiritual state (more open to the Spirit of God). Otherwise, carnal Christians (and friends, that's all of us) are capable of being evil AND are easily influenced by satanic deception and thus quite often are (unintentional / unwilling / unaware) weapons in the devil's arsenal. It is for this reason (among others) God went about his plan to redeem human beings the way he did (to try to wean us off of our physicality and onto our spirituality). The Law, then Grace, etc. Until we at least acknowledge and agree on this point, we are very dangerous indeed.

  24. from: The Daily Citizen Morning Headlines (Focus on the Family) Wednesday September 11, 2019 Good Morning! "Today’s 9/11 commemoration marks a generation (18 years) since the devastation in New York and Washington. Over 70 million citizens have been born since that horrific morning, so fewer and fewer people remember. As Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan/Bush speechwriter Peggy Noonan warned back in 2001: We have to remember. We have to save these things. We can’t lose them. History needs them. Children will learn from them. Scholars will ponder them. Here in New York we call what happened on Sept. 11 the greatest and most successful rescue effort on American soil in all of U.S. history. But there’s more rescuing to be done, and it’s from a thief called time, which robs memories of their vividness, and from the Dumpster, which is daily carting history away from Ground Zero and the Pentagon."

  25. First of all, it is true that to worship in Latin is to venerate. It's the same thing. Secondly, do you realize how common it was for ancient Israelite people to worship both God and other gods, especially Baal and Moloch. This is why Israel & Judah were eventually taken into captivity by Babylon. Thirdly, mankind has had this desire for a female motherly deity for a long time. Psychology can probably explain this best but my point is making Mary into a god-type of saint is just mankind's latest attempt to make God a mother. God is a spirit and if anything He likens Himself to a father. But I doubt He has a gender. So what I'm saying is when Catholics worship both God and their saints they are doing the same sin that caused the ancient Jews to go into captivity. They really need to stop doing this especially the sincere Catholics, and I have known many of them. These folks genuinely love God and don't know they are committing the most grievous sin these is, idolatry. To God nothing is worse than that because some of those other gods are the same evil angels that made war in heaven. Prior to the Internet almost no one could have found out about this but now it's going to become well known. The Catholic saints are not the spirits of dead humans they are bad angels tricking good humans into worshiping them. This is what evil angels have always done.

  27. So what would I do with the $1,000 a month? Choices that come to mind: Buy 333 MegaMillions lottery quick picks with the extra dollar play per month plus one pack of chewing gum each month. Buy better toilet paper without looking for sale prices on it. Buy a boat, a pontoon boat, an electric one. Buy solar panels for the marina space for the pontoon boat. Buy solar panel shade cover for the pontoon boat. Buy land, more land, and turn it into pasture. Buy a mower for pastures. Buy a horse. Buy a cow. Buy an electric fence for the cow and the horse in the pasture. Buy an ATV, pave my driveways, sell the nearly new ATV. Talk about world peace, talk about giving. Have a talk about world peace and giving study group party. Buy gold, buy a better safe for gold. All on a thousand a month, Hmm could you make it about $7,000? I don't think $1,000 will be enough for meeting my plans now that I will be freed up to think about my money coming in from government without my having to work nor be responsible for earning it. Yep, fun!

  32. Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you. It is a sad thing this. But from the get-go the church was mostly antisemitic and the doctrines reflect this. For my part, I see that any 'system' preached after about 150 AD is suspect. There are exceptions, like William Booth and Smith Wigglesworth; they are the exception because regardless of doctrines, God chose them and purposed them for His Glory. Occasionally you will see someone chosen by the Lord, but sadly the pulpit-pulp is a placeholder and should be treated as such. Ask yourself; 'why do I go to church?'. Is it for 'fuzzies', or camaraderie? Is it for interest and teaching? Too many expect pastors and teachers with their half-hour allotted talk-time to be able to offset a week's worth of worldly living. Not going to happen. What you need has to be self-learned by study. Do not expect someone else to feed you. You are old enough now to feed yourself.

  33. The bible says through the list of the flesh. But Christian are not ignorant. We have the armour of God to wear. Also he can attack physically through people. Like when Jesus was born King Herod sent a army to kill all the children born from the time the three wise men arrived. We can go to the store and be there when a criminal happens to be there and target us. So we should always pray for Gods protection.

  37. Not sure if it is the primary way.. But i believe satan can and does use people who are guided by him to mock attack and persecute Christians.. Ephesians 2: KJV 2 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:" I have no doubt that God allows satan to afflict us in other ways. Just as God allowed satan to afflict Job in the OT.. But i believe that ultimately undermines satan and with Gods help we are strengthened to resist satans tactics and ultimately be overcomers with the LORD.. Romans 8: KJV 28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

  38. This happen a few years ago. It was something I have never experienced before. I was home one evening and I had just loaded the dishes into the dishwasher. I hadn't had my Bible reading time that day so I thought, well the dishes are loaded the family has been feed; this is a good time to go do my Bible reading. I went to the bedroom and closed the door. I sat down on the bed and just open up my Bible to a verse( I don't remember what it was) . I just read a verse my Bible open to and all of a sudden it was like this warm, feeling of peace came over me! It was like a presence that filled up the whole room! I just wanted to stay there. In that presence I had not even prayed yet. All I had down was read a Bible verse. And it was like I was in the presence of pure peace and love like I have never felt before! That was God right? God's presence?

  46. Author: Theodore Epp Source: Strength for the Journey Scripture Reference Ephesians 1:3 Psalms 19:9-11 Genesis 15:1-6 The Believer's Reward Genesis 15:1-6 God assured Abraham that He was Abraham's "exceeding great reward" (Gen. 15:1). The king of Sodom had offered Abraham all the riches that Abraham and his servants had brought back, but he turned them down. Notice that the tense is not past or future, but present. Not "I was" or "I will be" but "I am"--"I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward" (v. 1). We see from God's promise to be Abraham's reward that God never permits His children to lose when they honor Him and seek His glory. God never leaves His child without spiritual blessings after His child has taken a stand for the glory of God. Although Abraham had no children at this time, his faith in the Lord is recorded in verse 6: "He believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness." Because of Abraham's faith in God, he was able to look into the future and trust God for everything. Ephesians 1:3 tells us that present-day believers have been blessed with "all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." But we, too, must set our eyes on the future. We must be those who look to their reward for glorifying God, rather than looking at the temporal satisfactions of the present. "The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.... And in keeping of them there is great reward" (Ps. 19:9,11). ____________________ This devotional is freely distributed by Back To The Bible.

  48. This is NOT the first time hinn has done this. He renounced of this back in the 80's, the 90's, 2018. time will tell. There are articles that report that very shortly after his public renouncing on Monday, there was a live broadcast of him asking for people to donate 120 dollars to pay off debt. That broadcast has quickly become unavailable at this time. His nephew in articles and interviews, since his uncle's recent renouncing does not think that his uncle's public repentance is genuine. There was an article I recently read that his nephew said that the “healing crusades” are not truthful in and of themselves. There have been numerous articles alleging benny hinn preaching some really grievous doctrines. And saying stuff that that was very bad in the past. If he has truly repented of the prosperity stuff, one would think he would also be renouncing other grievous doctrines and belief's as well. Not just the prosperity stuff. His nephew at this time has doubts that the recent repentance is genuine given that the previous ones were due to benny receiving heavy criticism and bad pr. His nephew is hoping and praying that there is genuine change this time around. Only time and actions will tell. You can't blame people for having doubts about this, since the previous renouncement's sounded sincere, but did not last long.

  49. I believe in God the Creator and I believe His Holy Word, yet I accept the evidence for evolution and believe God made life with the capability of unfolding itself. Would you say that disqualifies me from being a Christian? In other words, do you believe that one must believe in a 6000 year old earth and universe to be a "true" Christian? Because that certainly is NOT what the Bible says.
