Build Your House on The Rock

(Luk 6:47-49) Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:  He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.  But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Many people read the above scripture and interpret it as the institution of a law, if they can read where Jesus said “feed the poor and visit people in prison”, and they deem themselves as having completed or obeyed this perceived “Law of Christ”, then they count themselves as sound and truly the disciples of Christ.  Others may look at the command given to the disciples of Christ before his ascension to “preach the gospel”, they have no grace to preach, neither are they personally sent by God to preach, but they count themselves as obeying the “Law of Christ”, and therefore sound as “doers of the Word”.  (Rom. 10:15)   Would you like an example?

The above video is an extreme example of someone preaching who is not sent, there are many that are far less offensive, and even appear far more loving, but the Lord has not sent them!

What we need to do is take a closer look at what Jesus is teaching and what his Apostles taught so we can expose these works of iniquity, so that none of ourselves would deceive ourselves, thinking that our works are righteous, when they are not.

A Brief Thought on Muslim Immigration

Allow me to briefly throw my oar in the water on the issue of Muslim immigration. I do know that there are spiritual wicked forces at play. People who are tools of the devil and do his work don’t always know why they believe what they believe, they just “FEEL” that way so strongly that they shut down discussion, dissent and reasoning by violent means if necessary. People who are tools of Satan do NOT have justification for their actions, they need protection in our society so that they are not exposed as the Villains they really are. These people get their evil deeds painted and redefined as love and compassion by Satan’s agents in the mass media.

As long as the God fearing people in our society, some more and some much less, continue to attempt to reason with ungodly agents of Satan, under the banner of being “fair and balanced” – falsely admitting that the agents of Satan are otherwise reasonable people with just a difference of opinion; as long as this continues, it only serves to legitimize and compromise with evil.  Evil will NEVER settle for anything but victory, the devil is not interested in compromise, he is interested in defeat, total annihilation of his enemies and believe me when I tell you that Jesus Christ and his followers ARE the NUMBER ONE Enemy of Satan!

I have a long history going back 40+ years of experience in what we call Christianity.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I have never denied the Lord.  There are people who I went to elementary school, Jr. high school and high school with, which can attest to the fact that I witnessed to other kids about Jesus Christ many times.  I had no problem making a fool out of myself and being rejected by others from my youth until now; seven children and five grandchildren later.  I am not saying that I haven’t sinned in my life, I committed sins that I am not proud of, but I never denied the Lord despite the false teachings and many different doctrines I have been exposed to, and experienced the fruit of over the last 40+ years.

But there came a time in which there was a major pivot in my life, a water shed season, at the time I didn’t even believe that I could survive it, I thought I would surely die.  During this season the Lord gave me certain, sure, solid foundational truth.  During this season I would literally tremble as I read the scriptures as the Holy Spirit brought these things to life and establish me in these truths.  I am sure those who despise my image shriek when I say this, but my great treasure that I value is the fear of God, the beginning of knowledge and wisdom.  There are many people who might read what I have got to say and feel condemned or challenged, their image is different than mine, their judgement is different than mine, we are not alike, we have different things that trouble us, that concern us.

Perhaps the best place to start is to look a little closer at the essence, the foundation of what is Christ, in order to understand the things that really matter.  As the scripture say, “Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, The Life”, so to know Jesus Christ is to know Thy Way, The Truth and The Life!

Are Politics for Christians?

I recently read a short article written by Andrew Strom entitled Is Politics ruining Christianity.  I took grave exception to it, and I would like to explain why.  I have always wondered what was behind this view and attitude towards America.  Why was it just America that always appeared to get the brunt of such criticism and not South Africa, South America or perhaps China, Russia or Europe?  Are there not nationalistic Christians in all of these countries, so why are people so set against Americans in the USA who claim to be Christians and seek to keep their freedoms in the bill of rights and the constitution?

Let me recap in a few words the message I got from Andrew Strom, who is not a US citizen, but a citizen of New Zealand, this is what I took away from the article linked above.  I won’t exactly quote the article, you can read it if you want, but here is the message:

Christians in America are too nationalistic, this reminds me of the words of Barack Obama – “they cling to their guns and their bibles”.  Strom claims that Americans, not New Zealanders, rather than preaching the gospel are hollering angrily at the wicked over the constitution, gun rights, anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-liberal, illegal immigration and anti-family measures that are propagated by the wicked people of this world.  He goes on to quote the scripture  “Our Kingdom is Not of This World”.  I take it that he is really saying – “rather than voting or other political activities, because that makes the wicked mad, Americans should instead preach the gospel”.  It sounds good, but is it?
