The meaning of true “repentance”… The Lord God of the Old Testament always demanded true repentance, and He never changes. The same is true in the New Testament. Are you following this God? Or have you fallen for a different god of a different gospel? Are you expecting God to change His ways, or are […]

Legitimate irritability. Ever see any yourself? Ever catch some from somebody – irritability? Do you legitimize your irritable ways?

Is your light actually darkness?
Jesus said this about light and darkness, what is good and what is bad: (Luke 11:33-36) 33 “No one lights a lamp and then puts it in a cellar nor under a basket [hiding the light], but [instead it is put] on the lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light. 34 The eye […]
Misunderstanding God
For some strange reason I am constantly amazed by the confident bravado of unrepentant so-called “Christians”. But, why am I surprised? “Unrepentant” is bold rebellion, vain conceit, and un-bowing willfulness. I don’t think many are “misunderstanding God”. They are merely choosing to follow another god. Won’t that be a horrible day, to beam up and […]

Why worry? Trust God.
Jesus taught us how to have perfect peace in the midst of stress and troubles. Don’t we all want perfect peace in our inner soul? If we worry and fret over many things – it is because we try to live focused on God AND …some other “master”. “You cannot serve God and wealth [m […]

Worthless prayers
…the worthless prayers of fake “people of faith” – “Fake Christians“ Oh how easily some say “that’s true” – what mere men may say, but so so flippantly put His Message down – what God Himself did say.
