  1. They were all virgins, spiritually. I could be wrong but i think they were all 'born again'. An apostasy, falling away is predicted. And that man of sin be revealed. To fall away from something, you got to be there first. He's coming back for an ekklesia that is without spot or blemish. Is there a part of the ekklesia that is with spot and blemish? Is there a servant that got tired of waiting for His Master's return and began to slide and compromise? And the other point. We are to run from the covetous, 1Cor. 5:11, and the arrogant. Matt. 23:12, also if they seek the preeminence in a gathering, 3 John, and bear a religious title, Matt. 23:4-12 Elders are to serve freely. Not for gain. 1Peter 5 They are to work secular jobs. Acts 20 So all these commands in God's word need to be taken seriously. All these sins quench the Holy Spirit, 1Thess. 5:19, making impotent the body of Christ. Also the open meeting with full participation of every member and their gifts according to 1Cor.12, Romans12, and Ephesians4, is ignored completely, adding to the total disfunction and defeat of the folks. So i do believe that a comotose condition has entrapped the body of Christ in a strangle hold not just keeping Jesus out of the assembly but sapping the spiritual strength out of Christ's body and rendering it inadequate for the spiritual battle we are called to. The 'fallig away' has had its affect. Add all this up and you have a portion of the believers without full lamps of oil.
  2. Elders that dont work should not eat. Acts 20
  3. Little is much if God is in it. Much is little if He isnt.
  4. 5 were in a 'church' coma, 5 were awake to the false doctrines, errors, and apostacy.
  5. Only 2 targets after your family and parents. The poor and the itenerent preacher.
  6. Anyone who charges for the gospel. Freely you received, freely give. Any one who exalts himself with a religious title. Matt. 23:8-12, causing pride and division. Any elder who refuses to work. Acts 20 Anyone who corners the market on all ministries. 1Cor.12, Ephesians4, Romans12 Anyone who is greedy for money. 1Peter 5 Anyone who is egotistical. Matt. 23:12
  7. 1Cor. 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, everyone of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, Let all things be done unto edufying. vs. 37-38 If any man think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. But if any man be ignorant,let him be ignorant.
  8. 1Cor. 14:26 ...when you come together, everyone of you has a psalm, a doctrine, a tongue, a revelation, an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. vs.37 If any man think himself to ba a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that these things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
  9. Exactly. He set the example. Then why do men elevate themselves as kings in the 'church'?
  10. It wasn't intentional believe me. I fought long and hard to fulfill some things. God had a better plan.
  11. After close to 45 years of hopimg to have a 3 part harmony contemporary christian band, and God has said no, i am convinced of this. Many of our gifts wont be realized till He sets up His kingdom. Many will disagree and thats ok. Just telling you what i have experienced. But what God has given me instead is well worth it. A clear ear to hear Him when He speaks. To lead others to the Lord with His anointing present. I am grateful. Its exciting. I even wanted to be a part of a southern gospel quartet. Not gonna happen. Yea its been painful through the decades, I use to say years, but im ok. I get it. Im not the sharpest tool in the shed by far, but i see so many gospel super stars, not all, that have compromised to get up the ladder of success. Mixing with occult imagery, softening their view on homosexualiry, islam, popery, you name it! And money and arrogance. No i am not perfect. But i just see these things have taken hold in recent years. So i think, where would i be if all the doors of opportunity were wide open. A life of compromise? But for the grace of God, there go I? So if you feel somewhat rejected and your gifts have been back burnered, I say rejoice. God has you in a special protective place. It may be that realization of your talents and open doors may be put on hold till He comes back and sets the universe in order. So much wacky stuff going on today. Do you really want to be a part of it anyhow? I dont. Not worth losing the closeness to the Lord I have. I'll gladly stay out of the limelight in order to have the lamblight! What say you?
  12. All good thoughts. Thank you.
  13. Depart from evil then look out! Isaiah 59:50 This is the way it works for me. God will bless with some special blessings then a while later BAM BAM BAM! Gut punched from several different unrelated angles. Always a family member. Ive learned to brace myself. And not to retaliate or go into some defense tactic. Just leads to a back and forth fracas. Jesus said if we are to share in His glory, we are to share in His sufferings. This takes a lot of hard work. Going to a brother in the Lord that you have a problem with is somewhat a different deal. I believe.

    Flies!

    https://biblehub.com/kjv/ecclesiastes/10-1.htm Oil that was used to anoint the articles in the temple. Represents the Holy Spirit. Error, falshood, deception all, quenches the Holy Spirit. Chrisrendom has a few flies in the ointment that cause a bad oder. It cancels out any of the good. Beelzebub is the lord of the flies! A connection do you suppose?
  15. Pray for a particular deliverence and finally get it. A little while later that trial strikes again with ferocity. Thats a test that is a Toughy. Stand your ground as a good soldier. He takes pleasure when you hope in His mercy. Psalm 147:11 And His promises.
  16. We r to fellowship with other believers of like faith. Most churches are what i call monologue oratory halls. One guy talks. The rest listen. Everyone pays him. Learn a lot but this is not the gathering scripture describes. A home or Village Inn setting would be more conducive for what the NT calls the 'assembly'. The paid middle man absent and Jesus, the true middle man,present working His gifts through his people to each other. Thats 'church'!
  17. Million dollar preachers obviously a sham. But what about the ones that use promises and even threats to get ten percent out of you, no matter how poor you are? Is there a difference?
  18. He wasnt afraid to stand alone uncompremisingly.
  19. Slot machine preachers! Sink your money into them, pull the lever and God will give to you. Apostles, traveling preachers, were told to give freely what they received freely. They could receive help if it was the givers idea, not theirs. They never charged for the gospel. A true preacher doesnt beg. Or promise, or threaten like the prosperty preachers do. Jesus never begged. Paul did speak about those that refused to support the gospel, but left it to them to consider it. Heres the sham. These mega preachers claim if you give a dollar, youll get a hundred back. If that works for them they should be billionaires by now. Why are they still begging from you? You have no one to beg from. Get the point?
  20. Two different approaches. One in the flesh, one in the Spirit. One brings death, the second brings life. The law and the letter, written word, kills. The Spirit, on that written word, gives life.
  21. I trust few men. 'Cursed is the man that trusts in msn'. Jeremiah 17:5 However, i learned to eat the fruit and spit out the seeds. Ray Comfort has inspired me to witness more. He has hundreds of videos on line. Street preacher. I tried his style. Its working beautifully. He puts the gospel in a step by step, easy to understand format. Check him out. You may be inspired to give it a try also. We need for christians to start preaching/witnessing more. Might be the answer to an insane culture we're praying for! Im just saying.
  22. Drag queen story time for toddlers invading libraries across the country. Transgender-ising children in public schools. Why are chistians silent? Why is the 'church' silent? Christians keep financing pedo-Hellywood. Why? Why? Etc., etc..
  23. If He came as a servant, are we not to follow His example? All of us? Even the elders/shepherds? Or Is their a divine right to kingship for some to lord it over His heritage as despots?
