1 Cor. 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Today’s world has gone upside down. What was right is now wrong, and vice versa. People have different truths. What is one supposed to believe? We know that God’s Word is truth. (John 17:17) Therefore, when we don’t know for sure, we must turn to God’s Word in order to find out what God says is true. Jesus said:
Do you see Christ Jesus in today’s verse? He is the Word and He provides us with direction and clearly outlines His will for us in truth! Don’t look for answers in the world but in God’s Word. God never lies! (Numbers 23:19)
When I first was saved, all I could think about was Jesus! My thoughts revolved around Him and I was excited to talk about Him to anyone who would listen. Weren’t you that way? Are you still that way?
Jesus reminds us not to leave our first love in this verse. Have you left your first love? Do you spend time in God’s Word like you used to? Do you talk to others about Him? Do you continue to grow in His Word?
When we delight ourselves in Him, we won’t forget Him! We remember His Word and apply it to our lives. We turn to His Word each time we need answers. In summary today, delight yourself in Jesus! Amen?

Respect is hard to find these days. Parents are not teaching their children to respect their elders. In fact, speaking out criticisms is far more prevalent than I’ve ever seen in my nearly 70 years of life! What is actually being taught to children is that it’s OK to belittle the older generation. Children see their parents doing it and, therefore, they do the same. Each generation gets more disrespectful, and so on and so forth.
So how exactly does one learn to respect? It starts with respecting God and His ways. When I read today’s verse, I see clearly that a spiritually healthy person will read the Bible and think on it. After thinking about what he/she has just read, applying what was learned becomes key.
The Messiah of the Old Testament is the same Messiah of the New Testament. Jesus Christ IS the Messiah and there is only one way to get to Heaven and that is through Him. (John 14:6) He is the central figure of all the Scriptures. His precepts and His ways are what we should follow. Applying Jesus to this verse today opens up the meaning of the verse.
Strong’s Concordance defines respect in this verse as:
נָבַט nâbaṭ, naw-bat’; a primitive root; to scan, i.e. look intently at; by implication, to regard with pleasure, favor or care:—(cause to) behold, consider, look (down), regard, have respect, see.
Now let’s apply the definition intended for respect to our verse. I will meditate on Jesus and look intently at and regard with pleasure on Him. Oh my, what a blessing! Is that what we do when we meditate on Him and what He has done for us? Do we look upon Him intently with pleasure, favor and care? What a blessing!
In today’s unsettled world, we can remain without fear because we are concentrating on what must be fulfilled before the Millennial Kingdom can arrive. We know it is God’s plan and the Messiah, Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, is coming. Prior to His 7-year wrath upon the entire earth, He will come get His Bride! The Rapture of the Church is the next prophetic event. When we meditate on this precept, we receive the blessed hope which gives us peace and comfort!

Good morning! Have you ever wondered if there was a self-help book that would keep you from making the wrong decisions? We especially need one in these days of deception. The Apostle Paul warned Timothy that there would come a time when people would not want to listen to the preaching of the Word and would prefer to listen to someone with a positive message. (2 Timothy 4:3) There are plenty of “preachers” out there who have the Cheshire cat grin and are leading souls to everlasting burning … that’s right, for all eternity! That door to the lake of fire is permanently closed once a person goes there. There will be no relief in sight – no end whatsoever. People fail to think of the repercussions of their sins; but reader, there is coming a time when payment for those sins will have to be made.
The only self-help book out there that has a positive outcome is the Bible, friend. There is no other book that contains truth, everlasting life and peace. The Bible reveals who has the truth, who provides everlasting life and who gives peace; it is Jesus Christ, the Messiah! (John 14:6) He is the only one and the only way!
Furthermore, Jesus is the word of God (John 1:1), we can easily see Him in this verse:
So what is the self-help I’m speaking about? It is hiding Jesus and His word in your heart! Jesus’ blood provides forgiveness for our sins. As well, for this born again believer, by speaking God’s words when I am in the middle of temptation, the desire for that sin dissipates and then leaves. This gives me goosebumps! When Jesus’ Spirit comes into the very core of our hearts at salvation, we have the power and ability to say no to sin! Since Jesus is the word of God, we can hide His very words through memorizing or at least remembering the verses that keep us from sin! This is the only way to succeed as a Christian! Stay in the word of God – read your Bible and study! It’s worth re-emphasizing this previous verse:
Thank You, Lord, for the blessed Bible! It is our source of communication from You and with You!

How these end-time events have grabbed hold of men’s hearts and turned them into evil hearts. The more the Bible has been removed from public places, and personal lives, the less people think about its contents. Its contents used to be considered so sacred that men swore oaths with their hand upon it. Why? Because it used to be considered holy and when an oath was taken with hand on the Bible, it was believed that man’s response to that oath would be truth! It is no longer. In one of our Lord, Jesus Christ’s prayers, He told the Father:
How can one follow a “book” in obedience without it containing truth? Would you base your life on a Star Wars novel? Of course not. Within the pages of the Bible, you have the very words of God. All of the Bible is truth and you can rely that you are not being misguided. In its pages you find direction and answers to every question in life.
Man’s whole life is spent searching for the true meaning of life. Some don’t understand what they are searching for while others take the advice of friends. Mankind is always searching for what will me them happy.
Scripture instructs us on how to be happy. True happiness can only be found when we have Christ as our Saviour. There’s no other that can bring total joy and satisfaction. Christ’s saving blood covers our sin and His word allows us to learn and draw from Him. In these difficult times, draw close to His side through the Bible. Read and absorb and then reach out to others to share the Gospel.
The Psalmist knew hundreds of years before how to cleanse his way and that was through the word of God! He knew that cleansing only came from God.
It is only through salvation can a person find peace in the midst of the tumultuous times to come. If you think things are bad now, wait until after the Rapture of the Church. Don’t be left behind! Settle where you are going to spend eternity right now. Friend, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved.

Did your mind ever wander during a Sunday service? Perhaps you started thinking about other things–maybe what occurred last week, or plans for the coming week or what you will be doing later that day. Something like that happened to the writer of a familiar hymn.
On a hot summer Sunday morning in 1865, Mrs. Elvina Hall (1820-1889) was found in her accustomed place in the church choir loft. But as the pious words of the Reverend Schrick’s prayer droned on and on, her thoughts drifted to other things. She pondered the meaning of the cross, and the storied scene flashed before her mind’s eye.
High upon a rocky crag, three crosses scarred the afternoon sky. On the outer gibbets, hung two notorious thieves. Below, Roman soldiers drank and gambled, waiting for death to overtake the poor wretches suspended above them. It was a public execution, but far more significant than they imagined at the time. Suddenly, the air grew dense and an eerie darkness invaded the scene.
As the soldiers gazed about them in superstitious dread, a triumphant cry pierced the gloom. It came from the figure on the centre cross. One word, in the Greek tongue: “Tetelestai!” Then He was dead. That shout of victory Christ uttered as He died is usually translated “It is finished!” (Jn. 19:30). But it had another meaning back then. It was an accounting term. When a bill was paid, it was commonly stamped with the word “Tetelestai,” meaning Paid in Full.
It is finished! Paid in full! Tetelestai! Tetelestai comes from the verb teleo, which means “to bring to an end, to complete, to accomplish.” How appropriate that the Lord used these words, Reader! Do you see it? We’ve heard the phrase “Jesus paid a debt that He did not owe” but does it mean anything to you?
Someone has to pay the debt for all my sin, and that is ME! Each one of us cannot enter Heaven’s gate unless that debt, that penalty, is paid. If there were a dollar value set to each one of my sins in my lifetime, I dare say there would not be enough money in the world to take care of that debt! Since tetelestai’s meaning in Jesus’ day was an accounting term, we can picture the Father in Heaven stamping “PAID” on our debt because Jesus paid for it all.
For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim; I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb
Message for today
Friend, thank the Lord Jesus for giving us the opportunity to have our sins washed clean because of His shed blood on Calvary!! There is no other way that one can do this! (John 14:6) He is the only way. Buddha can’t help you! Allah can’t help you! Only Jesus.
What would you say if you bought a house when times were great and your income paid the mortgage with no problem. But then you fall on difficult times and you are now months behind with no hope to catch up. If the bank didn’t foreclose on you, that debt would increase ever more with interest added to boot! It is no different with our sins, Reader. The only way the debt for our sins could ever be paid was for Jesus to take that debt upon Himself. We cannot pay that debt ourselves! There is nothing we can do either! All we can do is receive the consequences for lack of payment and that is eternal life in Hell!
Where are you at this point in your life, Reader? Are you so deep in debt for the sins you’ve committed that you feel there is no turning back? We all come to that place in our lives. Some receive salvation early in life, while others are more stubborn. The longer you wait, the harder your heart becomes toward that sin. Sin will no longer stir regret in your heart and it will become hard as stone. There will come a point where your heart will be so hardened you will be blind to sin altogether.
Don’t get to that point, Reader. Surrender yourself to God’s love and forgiveness. There is peace to be had and balm for your wounds! Jesus paid it ALL so you could have that peace and balm! However, judgment awaits the person who does not want his debt to be paid. The Bible shows us the way of salvation. Don’t be ignorant but turn from your wicked ways.
Lord, now indeed I find Thy pow’r, and Thine alone, Can change the leper’s spots And melt the heart of stone.
A great wrath awaits the person who does not accept salvation. Zech 7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. Is your heart set in stone? If you are not truly born-again, there is coming a time when it will be too late for you to repent and be saved. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

When will Artificial Intelligence (AI) peak? When will AI be too much for man to handle? I believe we have merely scratched the surface and can expect a lot more unbelievable accounts involving AI. I believe the thing that most concerns me is that the data from which AI gathers information is only as good as the scientists’ and engineers’ data sets.
Back in 2020, a group called the Activist Group Extinction Rebellion produced a fictional video address speech (referred to as deepfake) by Belgian prime minister Sophie Wilmès on Covid 19. I won’t go into what the speech said because that is not the point. The point is that AI was able to manipulate her address to say things she did not actually say. You cannot believe what you see because it could be a deepfake.
Today, we are seeing more usage for AI and I don’t doubt we will also see an increase in the various ways it can be applied. Now imagine its application in churches and synagogues around the world? What will the next online sermon be? The pandemic confined people to their homes and Christians looked for sermons they could watch online to get their spiritual meal. One of the good results of the pandemic was that churches began putting their services online for those who could not attend. I for one was grateful to be able to watch services online when we could not go in person. Now, can you imagine an online AI generated sermon? They look so real and you would have no way of knowing that it wasn’t. Sophie Wilmès’ address wasn’t real and I dare say I would not have been able to tell that it was not her!
So what is the truth? One thing for certain is that Jesus is and we can trust the Bible in PRINTED form to have accurate information. If I did not own several, I would be buying a Bible today before they are replaced with AI generated ones.
The devil will surely use this to benefit himself and to move his agenda forward. He wants to be the ruler of this world as well as the ruler of every individual he can get under his control. His goals are easy to see when you are a Christian. However, after the Rapture, a strong delusion will be released on this earth. The Holy Spirit’s restraint will be removed and spiritual darkness will overwhelm the world.
The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

There are no mistakes with God. The genetic makeup of a man and a woman are most certainly different. When God created mankind, He said His work was very good! (Genesis 1:31) There are no mistakes with God.
I am not here to pass judgment on anyone because that is God’s job. (Revelation 20:11-15) My job as a Christian is to draw sinners to Jesus Christ so they can be saved, just as my friend drew me to Him in 1980! (Mark 16:15) Thank you, Vicky!!! 🙌🙌 Praise the Lord that she shared the good news with me. That is true love and that is how Christians should behave.
If you have been scarred by hurtful and condemning comments made by “Christians,” then they have been disobedient to God’s Word. We are to love all of God’s creation and to point them to everlasting life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Reader, you must understand that your actions today are not going to condemn you before God! Really, Kate??? The Bible says that everyone who is born is already condemned because they are born with a sinful nature. Just as I was already condemned before I became born-again. (John 3:3, 3:7)
That is the whole purpose of being “born-again”! One must be born-again in order to go from the “condemned” line to the “not condemned line. Once one is born-again, the old sinful nature is replaced with a desire to live for God. Christians are not sinless but they will sin less and less as they grow spiritually. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Friend, today’s end-time agenda is deceiving many into believing that because they are the result of evolution, there are genetic “mistakes.”
What used to be a “theory of evolution” is now looked upon as fact. But in the beginning, it was not so. Can you not see that these are lies that are being thrown at people from the father of lies!
The devil desires to kill you so you will go to Hell. That is his ultimate goal. He is filled with lies that are powerful. He is the opposite of God. God has truth and life (John 14:6) while the devil has lies and death. In fact, he will cause those lies to appear as though they are from God! They are from the god of this world.
Reader, God did not make a mistake when He created you. He loves you (John 3:16) and wants you to be saved so you can spend eternity with Him. God made you in His image and He said His creation was very good.
The only way to find the truth in a world filled with lies is by reading the Bible. It is our manual for life as we walk this earth. God didn’t leave us empty-handed to go willy-nilly into a world that has gone crazy. He loves us and has given us the Bible so we can find out His will for us.
If you believe that you are a mistake of evolution, then you are not alone. There are at least one-third of children in England between 16-18 that believe it as well. I’m saddened by this article.
The organisation conducted a survey in England of more than 1,100 youngsters aged 16 to 18 and a poll of a similar number of parents of younger teenagers.
This is not a new thing, nor is social justice. The Bible has much to say on the topic and we can know what is the truth if we only read the Bible. If you are a believer, your job isn’t to scream and yell as the unbelievers do to us. Our job is to point them to the truth and to love them. God will reveal their sin to them – it is up to you to reveal His Word to them. Let the Holy Spirit do the rest.
The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour?

As the world sinks lower into depravity during these end times, we see an even greater push for knowledge. As we saw in my previous post on Klaus Schwab, the WEF is an evil organization which brings think tanks together to influence future decisions for the world.
Can you see the how the world will welcome a one-world government and one-world religion? Here’s what Harari had to say about AI being involved in both:
Schwab henchman Yuval Noah Harari said that the 2024 election could be run by AI, and indicated that Q Anon is an AI PsyOp. High-level World Economic Forum advisor Yuval Noah Harari, a key henchman to WEF leader Klaus Schwab, says that the 2024 election could be run entirely by artificial intelligence and that in the near future, AI technologies will be writing new religions for humans to follow, presumably religions that benefit groups like the World Economic Forum and their global government allies. Harari also indicated that cult-like online theories like “Q Anon” could already be controlled by government-backed AI in a twisted test run for promoting new, computer-designed religions.
Harari, a top World Economic Forum member and a lecturer at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, said in a recent address that artificial intelligence will be meddling in the 2024 US Presidential race, producing new “political manifestos,” “fake news stories,” and even “holy scriptures” – though, according to Harari’s plot line, the “holy scriptures” will be more like handbooks for political cults.
These are news items that we don’t hear about on the regular news. Anyone who is interested on news with truth has to search for it. There is coming a time, however, that one will not be able to find any truth. But one thing is for sure, Jesus said:
There is no other way to Heaven according to the Bible. The Bible is our plumb line to keep us on the straight and narrow path. As we dive deeper into the end times, we see less and less people interested in hearing about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It brings to light the verse:
People are being led straight to Hell by the deceivers of this world. They are being led by the father of lies (John 8:44). The devil is a liar and there is no truth found in him. Is it any wonder that we are seeing a falling away from the truth? People claim that they have “their truth” and that cannot be. There has to be something to base that “truth” upon in order for it to be truth. What would courts do when people swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? There is coming a time when that won’t even matter anymore. The devil is running wild putting his plan into play.
Friend, you don’t want to be here for the Tribulation. You think you can continue in your sin now and get saved during the Tribulation? That may very well be, but Jesus said that there will be false prophets (possibly AI?) that if it were possible, would deceive even the elect of the seven-year Tribulation period. You may be one of those or you may succumb to the lies and lose every possibility of finding salvation because of those lies.
The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it.

To me, this is probably one of the most disturbing signs of the end times! We are watching Satan’s attack on our children happening right before our eyes. He managed to succeed in the abortion industry and now he is attacking the children who are alive. Did you ever imagine children signing up for this type of event? Parents are failing in their role to raise their children.
Launched in 2020 and promptly opposed by most parents, the clubs, associated with the Satanic Temple, are being pitched as an alternative to Christian after-school groups for those who identify as agnostics, atheists and religious minorities, such as pagans.
Last Monday, the Satanic Temple and the ACLU scored a legal victory after the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled against the Northampton County school district, which banned the club from meeting on its grounds.
“In a victory for free speech and religious freedom, a federal court has ruled that the Saucon Valley School District must allow the After School Satan Club to meet in district facilities,” the ACLU said in a statement. Totally not Satanic?
Is it any wonder that people fall for this kind of thing? Satan is diligently working to attract the lost to believe that his way is the way to joy and fulfillment. There can be no joy or fulfillment except it be found in Jesus Christ.
There is great judgment for those who lead children astray; not just Satan worshipers, but also the parents who allow it!
The Apostle Paul said this would be part of the signs that we are in the last days! He spoke of blasphemers, unholy, and despisers of those that are good. Oh how true this is! Think about it – could you have imagined seeing this type of after-school activity when you were at school?
Just look at what they are promoting!!! The worst of seven things is “personal sovereignty”!
Satan is doing his best to plant his wicked doctrine into the minds of impressionable children. They are in school and after-school events longer than they are in the home. They are being bombarded by this evilness. How can they escape if we don’t do something about it! We should be enraged but do we hear about these things in the liberal media? Of course not! Wake up!!!
