Resurrection Sunday

As countless people worldwide take time out today to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, I wonder if (we) really fully understand the depths of what took place that day when God raised Jesus from the dead. God the Father declared Jesus to be the Son of God (God the Son), with POWER, according the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.Jesus is not just a man He is the Word made flesh. It is also a testimony that the Father has accepted Jesus perfect sacrifice of Himself as the substitute for sinful man. The blood of Jesus washes away our sins Rev.1:5, but it is the risen Christ that gives eternal life to the forgiven sinner. 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believeth thou this? John 11:26-27. We will live forever if we put our faith in Jesus Christ. 1 Tim. 3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in to glory. Jesus, the way, the truth and the life.

Idolatry in the U.N. - Earth Worship

The worship of "Mother Earth" is now being in institutionalized worldwide in the form of U.N. resolutions and mandates. There are now calls from some in the international community to extend human rights to the Earth on which we live. This is very dangerous and if implemented would set in motion an unprecedented legislative enactments that  would eventually lead to forced capitulation of all peoples into Earth worship.  The bible speaks about the creation being worshipped and the creator being rejected and the punishment for such things in Romans 1:16-32. 
          "In January, Bolivia became the world’s first nation to grant the natural environment equal rights to humans. Bolivia’s Law of Mother Earth is heavily influenced by the spiritual indigenous Andean world outlook that revolves around the earth deity Pachamama, roughly translated to Mother Earth."  quote from fox news.com

International Earth Day just happens to falling on Good Friday, a holy day  that some Christians remember Lord for His sacrificial death on the cross. Who do worship, the Creator or the creature.
 
Romans 1:16-32
 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.    17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
   18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
   19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
   20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
   21Because 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.
   22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
   23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
   24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
   25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
   26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
   27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
   28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
   29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
   30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
   31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
   32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

The great deciever

As if the people of Detroit don't already have enough problems(because of sin), here come Jeffrey Fieger and Carol Cain suggesting that the City of Detroit should legislate more wickedness into their lives. These evil people have the audacity to say that the legalization of drug use and prostitution would make the city more "attractive". Yeah it will be more attractive alright, to every pervert and weed head in the country. Proverbs 14:34 says that "righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." The rapid deterioration of this nation is the reaping of the ungodly seeds being continually sown on every level of society. From the corrupt institutions of govt., academia, and religion, all the way down to the godless individual who rejects the gospel of Jesus Christ. What we see are floundering elected officials pushing this country headlong into an abyss of economic,moral,and spiritual destruction from which there is no return. And so called experts who fill college campuses with their anti-Christ philosophies hardening the hearts of young minds who are already prepped for deception by the constant brainwashing occurring in the public school system. Fieger and Cain contend that Detroit would gain much needed revenue to help alleviate some woes the city is having, but I'll let you in on a secret, it's not the lack of funds that's hurting Detroit, it's the lack of Jesus in the hearts of the citizens that hurting them. There is no peace says my God to the wicked. Isaiah 57:21. The devil is a liar and the father of lies, and if anyone believes that fornication and the lusts of the flesh will help them, they are totally entrapped in the devils lies.

Dead men walking

Often times while I'm working I'll become sad for, frustrated with, and angry at my co-workers. Most of the time it's not necessarily because of anything they have said or done to me personally, but  just the fact that they don't care about their own souls. Not to mention the price that Jesus paid to save their souls. I asked God to help me to love them, and people in general, like he loves them. So it's difficult sometimes to see them, laugh and joke with them, share our life stories both past and  present, and realize that one day that there is a very real possibility that they will stand before God having rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior. That they could spend all of eternity in unimaginable torment separated from God. What makes it even more difficult for me is knowing that it doesn't have to be, they don't have to be cast into the lake of fire, they don't have to suffer forever, why won't they listen,why won't they accept Christ, why don't they care, uuuhhhhhhh, why why why??? I know God loves them way more than I do so I wonder how much more He is grieved over lost souls.
