What should we do now that the World hasn't come to an end? by Pastor Tom Bruscha

.
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation 
hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, 
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, 
and the glorious appearing of the great God 
and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, 
and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. 
Let no man despise thee.
Titus 2:11-13 (King James Bible)

2 Timothy 2:15 RIGHT DIVISION by Pastor Tom Bruscha

.
This is an awesome series by this Pastor I have "discovered" not long ago.

Absolutely correct doctrine is taught, which is not taught very much by other ministers, who either do not know correct division, or are too lazy to teach what is extremely detailed and pointed scripture.  This accounts for those who parrot the four gospels, Hebrews, Peter, etc., completely twisting the plan of God for us Christians, who are the Body of Christ, and NOT the nation of Israel. 

As anyone can see, it is a long series.  I am placing the videos in playlist form, but it will be a while before it is completed.  Rather than have anyone wait on me, here is the entire series for anyone to hear.  Please do!  It is much-necessary education for the true Christian! Only the first video is a little hard to be heard. The rest are fine.

 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 (King James Bible)

Gun Owners Revealed by Journal News Analyzed by Greg Gutfeld - The Five - 12-26-12

.
Ha!  Leave it to Greg Gutfeld to turn the tables on the liberal fools!  But I must say, I would have loved to know that that nut, Nancy Lanza, had such an arsenal in her house, considering she and others thought something might just not be all right with the sociopath that her son was!

Thus, there are two sides to this issue!

Benghazi penalties are bogus!!

.
OH!  HOW SHOCKING!!  Ha Ha Ha!  
Not really!  There is NOTHING this evil Obama administration does that will ever surprise me!

Benghazi penalties are bogus

  

  • Last Updated: 1:46 AM, December 26, 2012
  • Posted: 1:46 AM, December 26, 2012
The four officials supposedly out of jobs because of their blunders in the run-up to the deadly Benghazi terror attack remain on the State Department payroll — and will all be back to work soon, The Post has learned.

The highest-ranking official caught up in the scandal, Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell, has not “resigned” from government service, as officials said last week. He is just switching desks. And the other three are simply on administrative leave and are expected back.

The four were made out to be sacrificial lambs in the wake of a scathing report issued last week that found that the US compound in Benghazi, Libya, was left vulnerable to attack because of “grossly inadequate” security.

State Department leaders “didn’t come clean about Benghazi and now they’re not coming clean about these staff changes,” a source close to the situation told The Post., adding, the “public would be outraged over this.”

US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Sept. 11 attack, originally blamed on a spontaneous demonstration against a US-made anti-Islam video that got out of hand.
That version was dismissed by an Accountability Review Board headed by retired Ambassador Thomas Pickering.

In response to questions from The Post, the State Department would only reissue the carefully crafted statement put out last week.

Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton “has accepted Eric Boswell’s decision to resign as assistant secretary for diplomatic security, effective immediately.” What Nuland omitted was that Boswell gave up only the presidential appointment as assistant secretary, not his other portfolios.

The other officials — Deputy Assistant Secretaries Charlene Lamb and Raymond Maxwell, and a third who has not been identified — were found to have shown “performance inadequacies” but not “willful misconduct,” Pickering said, so they would not face discipline.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) told The Post this is “yet another ruse about the tragedy of Benghazi.”

“State Department officials proclaimed . . . that heads would roll . . . Now we see that the discipline is a lie and all that has happened is the shuffling of the deck chairs.”

Satan Has No Claim On Me - To all brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus with ♥

.
I heard this song last night for the first time, through Pastor Mike's On Line Program video, and sent out a cry for help to get it on a video, for none was to be found, then.

I was overjoyed to have it waiting for me when I sat at the computer this morning, a bit later than usual.

Someone had posted the following verse in the comments, which I found very appropriate.

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord
and spake, saying, 
I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: 
the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Exodus 15:1 (King James Bible)

Moses was a stutterer, as is a cousin I have.  Nevertheless, when singing, these do not stutter!  A thankful "miracle," especially when praises to Him are sung!

Satan Has No Claim On Me

3rd Anniversary: Time to toot my own horn by Helga Hickman

.
I am truly humbled by the sheer number of views my blog has had!

222,000 views in 3 years
WOW!

In starting this blog, I who had absolutely no experience in blogging, took to it like a fish to water, and it all just happened.  Praise God, He's given me the ability to write, which I much like, thus blogging seems to just have been a consequence waiting to happen!

Thanks to all who have made this a most exciting and rewarding experience.  It's been very sobering to have been able to reach so many throughout the world!  I have learned of the existence of countries I never knew existed, until I saw them come up in the stats!  My jaw stills drops when I see Communist and Islamic countries visit it, so very assiduously!  

Indeed, in a David Cloud article, I remember reading how the Internet is available to localities that don't even have electricity in the homes!  I have no doubt that God will avail Himself of the Internet on the day when "every eye shall see Him," when the day of His wrath is come, so that He may judge the world!

Behold, he cometh with clouds; 
and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: 
and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. 
Even so, Amen.
Revelation 1:7 (King James Bible)

Again, thanks to all who have made this a very fulfilling voyage of great expectations!  

I wish all a very Merry Christmas, 
and a very Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

"I Am Adam Lanza's Mother" by Liza Long

.
The following article will leave any parent having cold sweats!  This parent's candid account of her horrific ordeal is unimaginable to most any parent.  Indeed, we may have our problems with our children, but nothing comes close to the horrible nightmare this parent lives.

I must add that in neither video is the aspect of sheer evil presented, and understandably so.  But, much more than "mental illness" is present in many such people who can and do plan and realize the consequences for their acts (Adam Lanza shot himself.  He had planned for the carnage he was to deliver, - which was over 10 miles away from the house in which he lived with his mother, whom he killed with 3 shotgun blasts to the face, denoting heightened anger - and to not be taken alive!Such, are not mentally ill!  Such are outright sociopaths, unable to feel empathy for another, nor remorse, calculated in all their evil maneuverings!

Today I heard that Adam Lanza may have destroyed his computer's hard drive!  A mentally ill person has a semblance of "innocence" about them, and such know not to be able to have so much "forethought," to be that calculating!

Evil IS present in this world.  We need understand that, and stop coddling evil creatures!


Written by Liza Long, republished from The Blue Review

Friday’s horrific national tragedy -- the murder of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut -- has ignited a new discussion on violence in America. In kitchens and coffee shops across the country, we tearfully debate the many faces of violence in America: gun culture, media violence, lack of mental health services, overt and covert wars abroad, religion, politics and the way we raise our children. Liza Long, a writer based in Boise, says it’s easy to talk about guns. But it’s time to talk about mental illness.

While every family's story of mental illness is different, and we may never know the whole of the Lanzas' story, tales like this one need to be heard -- and families who live them deserve our help.

"Michael," the author's son

Three days before 20 year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother, then opened fire on a classroom full of Connecticut kindergartners, my 13-year old son Michael (name changed) missed his bus because he was wearing the wrong color pants.

“I can wear these pants,” he said, his tone increasingly belligerent, the black-hole pupils of his eyes swallowing the blue irises.

“They are navy blue,” I told him. “Your school’s dress code says black or khaki pants only.”

“They told me I could wear these,” he insisted. “You’re a stupid bitch. I can wear whatever pants I want to. This is America. I have rights!”

“You can’t wear whatever pants you want to,” I said, my tone affable, reasonable. “And you definitely cannot call me a stupid bitch. You’re grounded from electronics for the rest of the day. Now get in the car, and I will take you to school.”

I live with a son who is mentally ill. I love my son. But he terrifies me.

A few weeks ago, Michael pulled a knife and threatened to kill me and then himself after I asked him to return his overdue library books. His 7 and 9 year old siblings knew the safety plan -- they ran to the car and locked the doors before I even asked them to. I managed to get the knife from Michael, then methodically collected all the sharp objects in the house into a single Tupperware container that now travels with me. Through it all, he continued to scream insults at me and threaten to kill or hurt me.

That conflict ended with three burly police officers and a paramedic wrestling my son onto a gurney for an expensive ambulance ride to the local emergency room. The mental hospital didn’t have any beds that day, and Michael calmed down nicely in the ER, so they sent us home with a prescription for Zyprexa and a follow-up visit with a local pediatric psychiatrist.

We still don’t know what’s wrong with Michael. Autism spectrum, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant or Intermittent Explosive Disorder have all been tossed around at various meetings with probation officers and social workers and counselors and teachers and school administrators. He’s been on a slew of antipsychotic and mood altering pharmaceuticals, a Russian novel of behavioral plans. Nothing seems to work.

At the start of seventh grade, Michael was accepted to an accelerated program for highly gifted math and science students. His IQ is off the charts. When he’s in a good mood, he will gladly bend your ear on subjects ranging from Greek mythology to the differences between Einsteinian and Newtonian physics to Doctor Who. He’s in a good mood most of the time. But when he’s not, watch out. And it’s impossible to predict what will set him off.
 
Several weeks into his new junior high school, Michael began exhibiting increasingly odd and threatening behaviors at school. We decided to transfer him to the district’s most restrictive behavioral program, a contained school environment where children who can’t function in normal classrooms can access their right to free public babysitting from 7:30-1:50 Monday through Friday until they turn 18.

The morning of the pants incident, Michael continued to argue with me on the drive. He would occasionally apologize and seem remorseful. Right before we turned into his school parking lot, he said, “Look, Mom, I’m really sorry. Can I have video games back today?”

“No way,” I told him. “You cannot act the way you acted this morning and think you can get your electronic privileges back that quickly.”

His face turned cold, and his eyes were full of calculated rage. “Then I’m going to kill myself,” he said. “I’m going to jump out of this car right now and kill myself.”

That was it. After the knife incident, I told him that if he ever said those words again, I would take him straight to the mental hospital, no ifs, ands, or buts. I did not respond, except to pull the car into the opposite lane, turning left instead of right.

“Where are you taking me?” he said, suddenly worried. “Where are we going?”


“You know where we are going,” I replied.

“No! You can’t do that to me! You’re sending me to hell! You’re sending me straight to hell!”

I pulled up in front of the hospital, frantically waiving for one of the clinicians who happened to be standing outside. “Call the police,” I said. “Hurry.”

Michael was in a full-blown fit by then, screaming and hitting. I hugged him close so he couldn’t escape from the car. He bit me several times and repeatedly jabbed his elbows into my rib cage. I’m still stronger than he is, but I won’t be for much longer.

The police came quickly and carried my son screaming and kicking into the bowels of the hospital. I started to shake, and tears filled my eyes as I filled out the paperwork -- “Were there any difficulties with… at what age did your child… were there any problems with.. has your child ever experienced.. does your child have…”


At least we have health insurance now. I recently accepted a position with a local college, giving up my freelance career because when you have a kid like this, you need benefits. You’ll do anything for benefits. No individual insurance plan will cover this kind of thing.

For days, my son insisted that I was lying -- that I made the whole thing up so that I could get rid of him. The first day, when I called to check up on him, he said, “I hate you. And I’m going to get my revenge as soon as I get out of here.”

By day three, he was my calm, sweet boy again, all apologies and promises to get better. I’ve heard those promises for years. I don’t believe them anymore.

On the intake form, under the question, “What are your expectations for treatment?” I wrote, “I need help.”

And I do. This problem is too big for me to handle on my own. Sometimes there are no good options. So you just pray for grace and trust that in hindsight, it will all make sense.

I am sharing this story because I am Adam Lanza’s mother. I am Dylan Klebold’s and Eric Harris’s mother. I am James Holmes’s mother. I am Jared Loughner’s mother. I am Seung-Hui Cho’s mother. And these boys—and their mothers—need help. In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it’s easy to talk about guns. But it’s time to talk about mental illness.

According to Mother Jones, since 1982, 61 mass murders involving firearms have occurred throughout the country. Of these, 43 of the killers were white males, and only one was a woman. Mother Jones focused on whether the killers obtained their guns legally (most did). But this highly visible sign of mental illness should lead us to consider how many people in the U.S. live in fear, like I do.

When I asked my son’s social worker about my options, he said that the only thing I could do was to get Michael charged with a crime. “If he’s back in the system, they’ll create a paper trail,” he said. “That’s the only way you’re ever going to get anything done. No one will pay attention to you unless you’ve got charges.”

I don’t believe my son belongs in jail. The chaotic environment exacerbates Michael’s sensitivity to sensory stimuli and doesn’t deal with the underlying pathology. But it seems like the United States is using prison as the solution of choice for mentally ill people. According to Human Rights Watch, the number of mentally ill inmates in U.S. prisons quadrupled from 2000 to 2006, and it continues to rise -- in fact, the rate of inmate mental illness is five times greater (56 percent) than in the non-incarcerated population.

With state-run treatment centers and hospitals shuttered, prison is now the last resort for the mentally ill -- Rikers Island, the LA County Jail and Cook County Jail in Illinois housed the nation’s largest treatment centers in 2011.

No one wants to send a 13-year old genius who loves Harry Potter and his snuggle animal collection to jail. But our society, with its stigma on mental illness and its broken healthcare system, does not provide us with other options. Then another tortured soul shoots up a fast food restaurant. A mall. A kindergarten classroom. And we wring our hands and say, “Something must be done.”

I agree that something must be done. It’s time for a meaningful, nation-wide conversation about mental health. That’s the only way our nation can ever truly heal.

God help me. God help Michael. God help us all.

God's Promise To Guide Us By David J. Stewart

.
God's Promise To Guide Us
By David J. Stewart


"For this God is our God for ever and ever: 
he will be our guide even unto death." 
—Psalm 48:14

What a wonderful promise from God! The Bible teaches that God has promised to guide the believer unto death. The word guide in the Hebrew is, nahag, meaning, “to drive, lead, guide, conduct.” Carefully notice that the word “guide” does NOT mean to force or compel. God has promised to lead us through this life; BUT He will not force us to do the right thing. 
 
Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God...” Unlike the Devil's crowd who allure their victims with flashing neon lights, God does not force Himself upon mankind. Man has a freewill. God didn't force Noah to build the ark; but rather, Noah built the ark by faith in the Lord (Hebrews 11:7). God didn't force David to fight Goliath; but rather, David fought Goliath by faith in God (Hebrews 11:32). Genuine faith is dynamic, i.e., it makes things happen. Passive faith is no faith at all, but mere optimism. Obedience to the Word of God is faith.

John 10:11,27 state... “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep... My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” Do you see, we are the sheep and Jesus Christ is the Divine Shepherd who guides us.
  • Psalm 25:9 - “The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.”
  • Psalm 31:3 - “For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.”
  • Psalm 32:8 - “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.”
  • Psalm 48:14 - “For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.”
  • Psalm 73:24 - “Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.”
  • Psalm 78:52 - “But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.”
  • Psalm 78:72 - “So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.”
God has promised to guide the believer throughout life, if we will be led by the Spirit of Christ through the Word of God. What a Savior! 

It's been said that a coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous. What we call coincidence is often in fact God's timing. God continues to guide and direct our paths, even when it seems that we are being led out of the way sometimes. God knows exactly what's going on. Matthew 20:29-30 says that God even knows the number of hairs on our head. Nothing ever occurs to God. Psalms 136:1-6 is an amazing passage of Scriptures, comforting us that God knows every minute detail of our life, 24 hours a day, even the very thoughts of our mind before we think them...

Psalms 139:1-6, “O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”

It's important that we do our part and then just rest in the promises of God, trusting the Lord to do His part in His own unique ways and time. Proverb 3:5-6 teaches to trust upon the Lord, lean not unto our own understanding, and to acknowledge God in all our ways.

The Hebrew word for “acknowledge” is yawdah and means, “A primitive root; to know (properly to ascertain by seeing).” It means that we ought to seek God's opinion in every decision of life. Interestingly, the Bible never tells us to SEEK God's will in our life; but rather, to KNOW what the will of God is from the Bible. This is why Jesus commanded every Christian in John 5:39... SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!!! What does the Bible teach?
 

Search the Scriptures
The Holy Spirit guides us with the Holy Scriptures. Jesus said in John 5:40... SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES! We cannot reasonably expect God to lead us if we are unwilling to study the Bible. So many people spend their lives pursuing “God's will” to no avail, because they remain ignorant of the Scriptures. How can we know God's will if we refuse to know God's Word? The Bible is God's instruction manual for humanity. John 16:13 states, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth... Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth" (John 17:17). The Holy Spirit NEVER guides us contrary to the Word of God.
 
Beware of False Shepherds
Many people today are being deceived by a host of demonic psychic mediums on TV, who speak about “spirits”; but they know not the Holy Spirit of God. Literally, millions of people are seeking spiritual guidance from imposters like John Edward, Sylvia Browne, Char Margolis, James Van Praagh, Oprah Winfrey, and Dr. Phil. These are all Modernists, who speak about God; but it is not the God of the Bible. They speak about spirits; but they are familiar spirits (i.e., demons). Any mention of spirituality or spirits that exclude the Word of God is Satanic! Keep this thought in mind. 2nd Corinthians 10:5 states... “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” Do you ever hear the psychics talking about obedience to Christ? No. of course they don't. They are sinfully arrogant and proud, exalting themselves against the knowledge of God, i.e., the Word of God.  

New Age is a deadly poison, which has infiltrated and infested American TV, books, magazines, movies, and school curriculum. The basic idea of New Age is that there is NO actual Person called God; but rather, God is merely the energy of life, the “force” behind everything, and a light which can be reached through any sincere attempt. New Agers reject the Biblical teaching that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven (John 14:6). Thus, New Age is a lie of the Devil (1st John 2:22). Many occult practices are rooted in New Age philosophies, including reincarnation.
 
Trust and Obey
There are many things which I do not understand about God, such as why children are allowed to suffer. I realize that man is to blame, and sin is the culprit; but if I were God, I could never allow a child to suffer. However, I am not God, thankfully, for I would likely destroy half the population, and I would start with SIN CITY Las Vegas! God is so longsuffering and patient towards mankind; but God's patience will come to an end during the Tribulation Period (Matthew 24:3-28), and at the Great White Throne of Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). God is as vengeful (2nd Thessalonians 1:8) as He is merciful (Joel 2:13). 

We must trust God, and not lean upon our own human reasoning (Proverb 3:5-7). What could we possibly know, having only been alive for a few years? I marvel at the willing ignorance and arrogance of college students, who follow the unbelief of their heathen professors, who seem to have all the answers concerning life; but they are as fools headed for utter destruction (Romans 1:22). It is rebellion against God! The world places God on trial, demanding PROOF of His existence; YET, nature itself is abundant proof of God's Divine Godhead and power (Psalm 19:1-3; Romans 1:20). Go to any isolated pagan people on earth, and you'll find faith in some sort of God. Only in modern civilization do we find men and women who deny the existence of a Divine Creator. It is out of wishful thinking, and not genuine conviction, that there are atheists in the modern world today. 

Anybody can obey God if they are willing to ACKNOWLEDGE Him. Romans 1:21 states... “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” 

The word “glorified” means “to acknowledge.” Every child KNOWS that there's a God at some point in their life. As they grow older, they'll either acknowledge God's presence in their life or turn aside after Satan. The sinful world does not acknowledge God, and their glories and accomplishments are empty and meaningless. Their foolish heart is darkened, hardened by sin and unbelief. They are the blind leading the blind.
 
Proverbs 3:5-6
Psalms 37:23, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” 

We read in Proverbs 3:5,6... “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Carefully notice that there are three things listed, as prerequisites, for us to do in order for God to direct our paths:
  1. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart.
  2. Lean not unto thine own understanding.
  3. In all thy ways acknowledge Him.
MANY people today are seeking God's direction in their life; but they are foolishly going to the Modernists, the psychics, the so-called “experts,” the talk show hosts, and the greedy televangelists; BUT, they ought to be going to God's Word. The Bible tells us to acknowledge God in all our ways, and not to rely upon our own human understanding. We are to acknowledge God in every area of our life. 

The Hebrew word for “acknowledge” in Proverbs 3:6 is yada and means “to know” (properly to ascertain by seeing). The word “ascertain” means “after a calculation, investigation, experiment, or study.” Hence we are to investigate and study the Scriptures for answers, seeking God's will in every decision we make in life. The Bible is our field manual. Although we may not be able to find an exact Scripture reference concerning a particular issue, we can usually form a conclusion based upon Biblical principles. Jesus commanded every believer to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES (John 5:39).

For Example: 2nd Corinthians 6:14 teaches, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” Therefore, we know that it is unbiblical for a Christian believer to be unequally yoked together with an unbeliever in a marriage or business partnership. To marry an unsaved person would make the Devil your father-in-law. God is our heavenly Father as believers. 

Our part is to trust and obey! Proverbs 3:6 can be divide into two sections: 

The first is composed of 6 words,

“IN ALL THY WAY ACKNOWLEDGE HIM,”

And then the second part, 

“AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS.”

If we cannot find an answer in the Scriptures, only then ought we to seek God's will through prayer. It is never proper to seek God's will prayerfully about a matter that is already answered in the Bible.
  • For example: You don't need to pray for God's will concerning whether or not it's ok to marry an unbeliever. 2nd Corinthians 6:14 already gives us the answer, no.
  • For example: You don't need to pray for God's will about becoming a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader, because 1st Timothy 2:9 commands women to dress in modest apparel. That definitely means, no, to joining the whore team!
     
Conclusion
God has promised to guide the “meek,” that is, those who are willing to be taught and led, docile, cooperative. Psalms 25:9, “The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.” Most people don't care what God thinks. If we eagerly study the Bible for God's opinion, and are willing to do as God commands, then He will guide us throughout life as He has PROMISED. Isn't that awesome! 

So many people today (including many immature believers) sinfully place God on trial, basing their judgment upon their own human, finite, limited reasoning. Notice again in Proverbs 3:5 that we are NOT supposed to lean unto our own understanding. Proverbs 3:5,6... “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” The only opinion that matters is God's opinion. I love the Bible, because it is the thoughts of God's heart to each generation (Psalms 33:11). Hebrews 4:12 teaches that the Bible is able to discern even between our soul and spirit, revealing the true intentions of our heart. The Bible shows us THE TRUTH. I love the Bible because it is pure, honest and truthful about everything. There is no deceit.  

I love the next Scripture. Psalms 10:4, “The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.” The Christian who loves Jesus wants God's thoughts with him continually. How else can we acknowledge God in all our ways if we do not include God in all our thoughts? Romans 1:28 says that the wicked do not like to retain God in their mind, just as we also learned in Psalms 10:4. As God's children we ought to listen, study (research to comprehend), memorize and meditate (think about) God's Word continually. Psalms 40:8, “I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” 

King David said he mediated in God's Word day and night (Psalm 1:2). That means thinking about the Bible deliberately and consciously, seeking God's wisdom. James 1:5 teaches to pray for wisdom and God will give it to us. Proverbs 4:7 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” All of these precious teachings in the Bible go hand-in-hand. If we want God to guide us, then we must have a meek spirit that is willing to submit to God's Word. We must trust upon the Lord and not lean unto our OWN opinions. We must fear the Lord and depart from evil (Proverbs 3:7). God wants to guide us, but He cannot if we are stubborn as a mule and insist upon doing things the Frank Sinatra way, that is, “I DID IT MY WAY” (lyrics from Sinatra's famous song, “My Way”). Sinatra certainly did do it his way, and he's burning in the fires of Hell forever. 

God's ways are above our ways, and His thoughts above our thoughts... “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8,9). We won't always make the right decisions, for we are flawed humans. Albeit, God knows our heart (Proverbs 24:12) and judges accordingly. Psalms 44:21, “Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.” 
 
If we do our part, then God will do His. If we will trust the Lord Jesus, and base all of our decisions upon the Word of God, regardless of our feelings on the matter, then He has promised to GUIDE us!

The title chosen by my dearest friends for their blog well describes the lives of most.  When it is that we think all is going wrong in our lives, it is that God has a purpose in allowing us our free will, until it is we realize that we should surrender it all to Jesus, and have the Holy Spirit guide our fragile existences.


For this God is our God for ever and ever: 
he will be our guide even unto death. 
Psalm 48:14

Jesus is God by Pastor Dov Avnon

For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
1 John 5:7 (King James Bible)

SATAN WINS!!  Indeed, for it is thanks to the "new versions" that there be doubt regarding the deity of Christ, for the New Versions are all SATANIC VERSIONS coming from the Vatican, which are intent on divesting Christ of His deity!  The NKJV does have it, but it is just as satanic as all the other PERversions from the Alexandrian stream!  
Remember, in Deuteronomy, God would not allow that even horses be gotten from Egypt, a most corrupt land!  HE would certainly NOT have entrusted that His word come from there!

 I will worship toward thy holy temple, 
and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: 
for thou hast magnified thy word 
above all thy name.
Psalm 138:2 (King James Bible)
