James 2:8, “If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.”
We are living in a throw-away society in America. All across America there are
divorced people who keep going from marriage-to-marriage because they can't find
a perfect spouse. They go from one church to the next because they can't find a
perfect preacher. They quit everything they start because it doesn't meet their
perfect standards. Yet they reject the perfect Words of God, even finding fault
in the holy God of the Bible.
Women have been taught by a multitude of heathen feminists and lesbians on television to become INTOLERANT of imperfect husbands. Those hussy women ought to get right with God, go home, and thank her husband for going to work every day to provide for the family. Retarded shows like The View ought to be taken off the air and banned.
Children have been taught in heathen public schools to become INTOLERANT of imperfect parents. Those little brats ought to go home and thank their parents for going to work every day and providing for them. The teachers should be fired.
All across America people have been taught to be INTOLERANT of less than perfect preachers. If a pastor messes up or says something controversial, it's posted on YouTube by sundown. People ought to uplift holy hands and be patient with God's men. If there's one group of people to whom we ought to be understanding, forgiving and supportive it's Bible-believing, Christ-honoring, soul-winning, preachers of the Gospel. I'm not talking about the crooked televangelists. From John Hagee to Pat Robertson they're a shameful bunch of religious frauds and phonies. I'm talking about the average pastor who works hard to build a church, depending on the power of God's Holy Spirit to build the church.
We are living in a wicked generation. If a pastor of a church doesn't cater to the agendas of our time (such as feminism, abortion and homosexuality), then he's labeled as a cult leader. If a pastor cries aloud against sin and faithfully preaches the Word, then he's hated and despised as an evildoer by this evil generation. God pity the fool who despises God's man for being right. God pity the fool who slanders and attacks the man of God who preaches against sin. Bless God, we need preaching preachers in this dark hour!!! Thank God for hell, fire and damnation preachers!!!
Children in Godless public schools these days are
Zep:1:1: The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Zep:1:2: I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
Zep:1:3: I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
Zep:1:4: I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
Zep:1:5: And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;
Zep:1:6: And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.

Proverbs 10:12, “Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.”
Are You Resting In The Gospel Of Jesus Christ?
Thankfully, and fortunately, every person is offered the free gift of eternal life and forgiveness in Christ. I can't believe that so many people flaunt God's mercy and grace, even blaspheming the very God Who has given His Son for their sins. Wow! I am not worthy, and neither are you! Can any man truly grasp the greatness of what God has so marvelously done for us? I think not.
There's no other book, nor religion, nor prophet, nor teaching, nor philosophy in existence that can even compare or compete with the awe, greatness, amazement and grand scale of what the Bible reveals; of all that God has done for mankind through the Lord Jesus Christ!!! Oh my friend, whoever you may be, I plead with you... “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him” (Hebrews 2:3). Acts 4:10-12 plainly states that there is NO other name given among men, whereby we must be saved, than the name of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH!!!
Romans 4:5, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Repeatedly we are warned throughout the Scriptures that God's salvation is offered freely to mankind (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 11:6; Titus 3:5); paid for by God's gift of His dear Son, and the blood that He shed for us. How much greater then are we insulting God, even trampling underfoot the blood of His covenant, when we ADD anything to it. Don't be deceived, no one who professes to be a Christian is truly saved if they HAVEN'T yet ceased from their own human efforts...
Hebrews 4:10, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works...”
Those who teach that faith alone cannot save, but that there must also be human effort—to depart from sin, forsake the world, and surrender to Christ—are NOT SAVED!!! Hebrews 4:10 confirms this! There's a fine line between faith and foolishness, between Heaven and Hell, between salvation and damnation. The dividing line is human effort. Add it and your doomed. Cease from it, and trust upon the Lord, and you're saved! Any attempt to improve mankind spiritually without the Gospel is religious humanism. Don't leave out the cross!!! Jesus DIED, was BURIED and RESURRECTED after three days. That's the Gospel according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4.
What an awesome God!!! I encourage you whoever you may be to place your total trust in “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Christ bore our burden of sin upon the cross, so we don't have to go to Hell forever. Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for my sins!
John 20:31, "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."
It's not what you're doing that gets you to Heaven, it's where you're looking. Look to Jesus!
