What comes out of your Mouth
Monday, February 8, 2010
I don't care if you are in politics or in some secular vocation or preaching the Bible or whatever; I want you to consider what Jesus said:
'...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Folks run their mouths without thinking, but Jesus said what comes out of your mouth comes out of your heart and reveals what sort of a person you are...politician, Bible student, whatever.
So if you have lied or spoken things not right and true, you had better search it out and confess it quick; it could hinder your relationship with God. The word 'idle' means 'empty', 'worthless'.

Question Twenty: Mystery of Lawlessness
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Alright, now things get tougher and I would not lay this on you except it pertains to this generation and the generation to come. Question: What is the mystery of Lawlessness as found in 2 Thes.2.1-12? Take your time this is difficult and important and you will have to use the American Standard Version.

Recent Comments
Sabbath, February 6, 2010
I get a lot of enquirers about why my 'recent comments' feature does not work...it is because my critics use filthy language, therefore that feature is turned off.
Then I get people who ask questions who neglect to give me their email address, and get all pushed out of shape when I do not answer.
I also have folks ask me who the Anti-Christ is...why don't you go read 1 Jn.4.3,4...I think I will ask that question myself...

Be Quiet...
Friday, February 5, 2010
Children of God, and I speak directly to my students; I have had to admonish some of you, and you have shrank from me...listen, it is good for you to have a reality check once in a while to bring you back down to earth; some of you are going to fast.
So here is what you must do: find a quiet time, relax and be quiet and listen for that still small voice that tells you, 'This is the way, walk ye in it...'; let the Spirit search you out so you can find peace and be renewed. I must admonish you and instruct you; I wish to God I had, had someone to help me through all this...
So please, know that I am your brother in the Lord.

Overcoming
Friday, February 5, 2010
Alright here: you all need to remember your priorities, overcoming your sins is your FIRST priority; reason: God will not teach you if you are dragging your feet about dealing with your sins; you must take hold of them and overcome them. Consider this that Jesus said once we have done that which has been commanded us, we must take the attitude that we have only done that which is our duty to do (Lk.17.10) Overcoming your sins is only a START; it is not the end! If you are having trouble understanding these things, look to yourself. It is so easy to overlook the obvious in where we sin, but God does not overlook it, but waits patiently on you to deal with it.
So focus on getting through Repentance from Dead Works so you can go on and learn more...it is one step at a time.

Free Gift...
Friday, February 5, 2010
Now listen up; you must keep in mind that the translators of the King James were Calvinists, they wanted everything 'free', as many evangelicals do. God gives nothing to us that does not have a price; NOTHING IS FREE. In Romans 5.15,16 and in 6.23 the word 'free' was added; it is NOT in the Greek text...STOP USING IT. Young's Literal Translation does not have it and while most translations do have it, they simply are caving to the convention of their peers.

Question Ninteen: Two laws...
February 3, 2010
Okay, here is the next question: I am going to give you two verses, and I want you to tell me what the difference is between them; here they are:
13for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified: (Rom.2.13)
Then this:
20because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; (Rom.3.20)
Okay, see what you can do.
