Th Altar Of Insanity |Moral Truth Series

There’s not much that I can add to the words below except, it’s time to— Protect the future of our children’s children…

—When people worship at the Altar of Insanity 

Morals that are deemed perfect are not. 

Morality that should be taught is not. 

Unhealthy Lifestyles are deemed clean.

Clean lifestyle is deemed unclean. 

Those that worship at the Altar of Insanity 

want to drag our kids into this unhealthiness.

People will not worship at 

the Altar of The Way, The Truth & Life 

because they have bought into the Lie. 

They have worshipped at the Altar of Insanity 

far too long to know the insaneness of it all.

If you want to walk away from the Altar of Insanity & get to know the real Way, Truth and Life personally:

Know God

My House, My Job, They’re My Life |Priorities

“”47 So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council n and said, “What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our Temple o and our nation.””— John’s Gospel chapter 11 ISV

This is the conversation which took place after Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead. These were members of the Highest Court of Israel. They would be like our Supreme Court mixed in with the best Theologians in the land.

Yet all this wisdom and only a few of the leaders were believers of Jesus from Nazareth. Most of them were so empty spiritually, that they had missed out on the over 300 prophecies concerning their Messiah. So much so, that they were willing to keep their beautiful Temple which Herod had rebuilt, and hold on to it and their homeland no matter the consequences. They would have to get rid of the guy that was performing extraordinary miracles not seen since the days of Moses and Joshua.

  • But before we get all ‘holy” on them, ask yourself this question.
  • What thins or things are you holding on for dear life to?

You see, this is the same daily conversation that people all over the world have about Jesus the Carpenter from Nazareth.

  • Do I want to follow Jesus?
  • What of He wants me to leave all these things I have accumulated behind?
  • What if I have to give up my party life?
  • What if I have to stop cheating people out of money at work?
  • What will people think about me if I become a Christian?
  • How will I look to my family if I leave their religion?A

The questions you will be asking yourself are valid. But also ask yourself these:

  • How am I able to handle that high stress job?
  • Will the stress finally land me in the hospital?
  • Will I be able to keep the house I could barely pay the monthly mortgage on?
  • Do I really need the expensive cars and unnecessary extravagant  lifestyle choices I have?
  • Have all the material things and my long hours at work have me slowly drifting away from a relationship with God?
  • Whatever it is, nothing  and I mean nothing is better than having Jesus the Lord, Savior and Redeemer of this world come into your life.

If you choose to have a personal relationship with Christ, watch the everyday miracles that He will do for you in your life. Jesus loves you and asks that you trust Him to lead and guide you. And unlike those temporary luxury things, or high stress job you’re in, He will never leave you nor forsake you.

  • Stop trying to kill Jesus off from your life for the sake of keeping your ‘temple and country’.

Instead of killing Him out of your life, ask Jesus to come into your life and bring you back from the dead. If you commit yourself to him, your life will never be lost again…

IMG_3854Sunrise after darkness by Oscar Roca.jpg

 

I Need Your Light

Please click on these- Job 30:17, Psalm 16:7, Psalm 22:2, 

 

I stand before You every night
Humbly asking and pleading
For You to hear my plight
Lord I know You are there leading
I’ve never doubted or lost sight

Lord the night is here
Too dark to steer
I need Your Light
Throughout this night
Please make things right

Lord with a heart of sorrow
I come before Your graceful Throne
Lord I know there is tomorrow
Please hear my cries and all my groans

Lord the night is here
Too dark to steer
I need Your Light
Throughout this night
Please make things right

I can hear Your still voice
Through the thunderous noise
I can see Your Light
What a beautiful sight

Lord the night is here
Too dark to steer
I need Your Light
Throughout this night
Please make things right

You are my mighty guide
I will not run I will not hide
Your peaceful whisper to abide
Makes the darkness all subside

Lord the night is here
Too dark to steer
I need Your Light
Throughout this night
Please make things right

My Lord the Mighty One
My enemies retreat and run
With Your forceful voice
They scatter and I rejoice

Lord the day is here
Your Light I cheer
Throughout this night
You’ve kept me tight

Inspired by Isaiah 51! |English, Español, Português

We are to be fishers of men
Grabbing those lost in the storms of life
Teaching everything Jesus did for them
With our Lord’s help & Light
Sending them equipped & ready
They will run into ocean’s deep
But they too will hold steady
Because He will protect all His sheep
So onward Christians, onward
Without fear, without retreat
Jesus has won & conquered!
So go forth to save all men!

ISA51.png

“”9 Awaken, awaken, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of long ago…10 Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?…12 I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal man, … 15 For I am the LORD your God who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name.””
Isaiah 51  Berean Study Bible

 

Debemos ser pescadores de hombres
Agarrando a los perdidos en las tormentas de la vida
Enseñando todo lo que Jesús hizo por ellos
Con la ayuda y la luz de nuestro Señor
Enviándolos equipados y listos
Se encontrarán con las profundidades del océano
Pero ellos también se mantendrán estables
Porque Él protegerá a todas Sus ovejas
Entonces adelante Cristianos, adelante
Sin miedo, sin retirada
Jesús ha ganado y conquistado!
¡Entonces salgan a salvar a todos los hombres!

“”9 Despierta, despierta, vístete de poder, oh brazo del SEÑOR;
despierta como en los días de antaño, en las generaciones pasadas.
¿No eres tú el que despedazó a Rahab, el que traspasó al dragón? 10 ¿No eres tú el que secó el mar,  las aguas del gran abismo;  el que transformó en camino las profundidades del mar para que pasaran los redimidos?..12 Yo, yo soy vuestro consolador.
¿Quién eres tú que temes al hombre mortal,..15 Porque yo soy el SEÑOR tu Dios, que agito el mar y hago bramar sus olas (el SEÑOR de los ejércitos es su nombre),…”” Isaías 51, Biblia de las Americas 

 

Por favor, perdoe meu Portugues. Não é um falante nativo…

Nós devemos ser pescadores de homens
Agarrando aqueles perdidos nas tempestades da vida
Ensinando tudo o que Jesus fez por eles
Com a ajuda do nosso Senhor e Luz
Enviando-os equipados e prontos
Eles vão correr no fundo do oceano
Mas eles também vão se manter firmes
Porque ele protegerá todas as suas ovelhas
Então, diante dos cristãos, em diante
Sem medo, sem recuar
Jesus venceu e conquistou!
Então vá em frente para salvar todos os homens!

««9 Desperta, desperta, veste-te de força, ó braço do Senhor; desperta como nos dias da antigüidade, como nas gerações antigas. Porventura não és tu aquele que cortou em pedaços a Raabe, e traspassou ao dragão, 10 Não és tu aquele que secou o mar, as águas do grande abismo? o que fez do fundo do mar um caminho, para que por ele passassem os remidos?… 12 Eu, eu sou aquele que vos consola; quem, pois, és tu, para teres medo dum homem, que é mortal,…15 Pois eu sou o Senhor teu Deus, que agita o mar, de modo que bramem as suas ondas. O Senhor dos exércitos é o seu nome..»»     Isaías 51  João F. Almeida Atualizada

Offend Them to Life |Salvation

Be Bold with the Good News!.png
Matthew 10:22

FOR THE CHRISTIAN WHO IS AFRAID OF SHARING THE GOSPEL BECAUSE IT WILL OFFEND OTHERS:

— As Christians, we don’t offend anyone on purpose. At least we try not to. As Christians, we are to be the salt and light of the world. Jesus tells us to be the good flavor and the light to those that have sour mouths and are blind  & lost due to the world’s depravities.

— Yet somehow, some of us have become a bunch of whiny and afraid Christians who don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Even if it means not offending them into hell.  (See Luke chapter 16:19-31)

Gent Club inoffensive.pngEternity is a long time for those offended lost souls to think of forgiving us for not trying hard enough to reach them. It is not our job to be inoffensive. It is our job to present the unbelievers with the word of God. It is our job to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth and make disciples of all nations. It is not our job to count on a list those offended or not offended by what the Gospel says.

— Jesus told us the world would hate us because they hated Him. Or did we think that the-lollypop-don’t-offend-anyone-today culture is going to save anyone?

— I wish we could talk to those people who are in hell right now. I wish they could give us a ringy-ding-ding and tell us how much they appreciate us not offending them by not telling them about Christ.

Drug Expo Inoffensive.png— So instead of everyone getting angry at those who are blinded by the god of this age, why don’t we, including me, start praying and fasting for those that got offended by a billboard of a pastor who was holding a Bible?

— Why don’t we just not pay attention to those poor lost souls acting like 2-year-olds trying to get their way? And start preaching even more….
— Don’t wait for those people who are offended to be forever away from our Lord and Savior’s presence because we went into a corner pouting about the fact that some non-Christians got offended by the Bible and the message of sin.

Romans chapter 1.jpeg
Romans Chapter 1

— Instead of Christians getting mad or retreating into our communities, this is a critical and important time in our country, for Christians to boldly proclaim that it is only through Jesus the Savior of the world, that people could be saved. He is the only Way, the Only Truth and the only Life for those that are lost.
— It is up to us to tell those offended by the Billboards here in Southern California and throughout the world, that we are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because it has the power for salvation to everyone that puts their faith in Jesus our Lord and Savior…

FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW JESUS IN A PERSONAL WAY:

— I will never stop sharing the gospel. This is what I am called to do and this is who I am. If you don’t know God, and if the Bible offends you, please take the time to really know what is offending you about it.

— You will find that most people don’t really understand the Jesus of the Bible. They have only heard about crazy Christians offending other by pushing their faith on them. I don’t push my faith on anyone.

— But I do share what God has done in my life and why I am thankful to Him for giving me the life changing peace I now have. That peace won’t change my life circumstances. But this peace of knowing what will ultimately be my home does.

— I want you to have the peace and knowledge that there is something far better in this life and the next for you. I would challenge you to research and see if this Christian Faith is truly offensive or just a fallacy made up from those who don’t want to change their bad habits…

What are your Giants? Go Slay Them- The Lord is with you!

“”…..10 I am eighty-five years old today. 11″I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in. 12″Now then, give me this hill country about which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim (Giants) were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I will drive them out as the LORD has spoken.”…””

Joshua 15.png

What are your Giants?

Go slay them! The Lord is with you!
