Bible Verse of The Day – 9-23-24

Matthew 19:4 (NKJV) 4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’

The world we live in has become a crazy, twisted place.

Right is labeled as wrong, and wrong is labeled as right.

To this, we offer what Isaiah said.

Isaiah 5:20 (NKJV) 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

There has been a rampant increase in evil on display in the last 10 years.

It no longer hides in the shadows, but shows itself plainly, in the open, as if to challenge anyone who disagrees to try to stop it.

This is not a local or regional phenomenon. It is global.

We want to make clear where we stand on these things so there is no confusion.

The word of God is our foundation. We believe it from cover to cover, in its entirety. We will not stray from it.

A person is born a male or a female, just as God created us from the beginning.

While there can be rare anomalies due to birth defects, this does not change God’s order of things.

There are two genders; man and woman.

There are no others.

Anyone who believes otherwise has either believed a delusion or is suffering from some type of mental illness. And many times, the mental illness is exploited by demons to intensify the problem.

We love everyone; even those who make it hard to love them.

But we will not bow to evil

Our heart’s desire is to teach as many people as possible about God’s love and His offer of redemption, and to see those people be washed in the precious blood of Christ; delivered, set free and made whole by Him.

But we do not condone transgenderism, just as we do not condone adultery, thievery, drunkenness, homosexuality, etc.

God’s truth stands even when evil may try to convince us otherwise.

We love you all.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-22-23

1 Corinthians 6:18-19 (NKJV) 18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

What is one thing that can keep millions of people from entering heaven?

Fornication. It is sex between two unmarried people. A sin against our body, the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

We are not our own.

Sexual immorality is a lifestyle in today’s world.

Oh yes, people think its OK to live together and have sex without being married. Fornication is a big problem even in the lives of believers today.

The Bible’s message warning against fornication has definitely been watered down, and we have become desensitized to it.

It is not something we should take lightly.

When two people are living together outside of marriage, this is not even close to the same things as being committed or joined together as one in marriage.

Some people say, “well, I’ve been with so-and-so for many years”.

If you have not been joined together under God in matrimony, it means nothing.

Living together and having sex like a married couple, despite not being married, does not equate to being married. Anyone doing this is a fornicator. It doesn’t count as a marriage.

You are in the same category as the unrighteous.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

It is very important as a believer to understand that having sex outside of marriage is fornication and that fornicators will not enter the kingdom of heaven, unless they repent, make it right with God, and change their lifestyle.

Just because something is commonly accepted in today’s world, it does not make it right in God’s eyes.

If you are His child, make things right. Don’t be having sex unless you are married. And if your person will not marry you, then get out of the relationship. It’s as simple as that.

Your eternal life depends on you making the right choice for you.

If you need someone to do a marriage ceremony for you, we are willing to do it for you.

You don’t need a fancy wedding with a big crowd. You don’t need to spend a lot of money.

Just help us get there and give us a little of your time, and we will get it done.

May God help you make the right decision today. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-23

Romans 1:26-27 (NKJV) 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

We are literally watching these verses play out right before our eyes.

Evil is rampant in so many places across the globe now. You may see different aspects of it in different geographical regions. One region may show different signs of it than others; different types of sin in grotesque amounts.

But regardless of which sin is dominating an area, it is at levels that none of us have ever seen.

Sexual sins are at the top of the list in many areas. Sexual perversions of many types are out in the open for all to see. There is no longer any shame.

While we are watching these sexual perversions multiply exponentially, we need to keep in mind that we were forewarned that this would happen.

And as it plays out, it is a good reminder of the faithfulness of God, as He told us of these things to come.

Despite the frustration and feelings of disgust that we experience as we watch it, it’s good for us to look at it through the lens of Biblical prophecy, knowing that what God has foretold is playing out.

His sovereignty and His faithfulness in everything are undeniable, forever and ever.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-20

Romans 1:20-21 (NKJV) 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

We are living in a time when wrong is right, and right is wrong. Everything is backwards.

It’s not hard to see that much of the world seems to have gone crazy. Are you constantly amazed and shocked by the level of sin and immorality that you see around you? Even common sense seems not to be so common any longer.

As the world has very openly rejected God and His truth, the downhill slide of immorality seems to be accelerating. This is to be expected when God is driven out of every aspect of our societies and cultures.

A Godless society is destined to fall very deep into darkness and depravity. Hence, the things we see today in very large numbers around the globe.

You see, God offers His mercy to us freely. But when man largely rejects Him and His goodness over and over again, He will eventually give them over to the very things that they pursue; idolatry, murder, lust, greed, etc.

When this happens, we begin to see levels of sin and depravity that we may never have imagined could be so. And these very people eventually reap the results of their behavior.

Romans 1:26-27 (NKJV) 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

This is why it’s so important that we pray and seek God, living our lives as examples of His light, His love and His mercy, that we might rescue even one from the depravity that this world is falling into, just as we have been rescued by that very same love and mercy.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-27-18

Ephesians 5:3-7 (NKJV) 3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.

Sexual immorality, impurities, greed. Let them not even be named among you.

This is some heavy-hitting stuff. The apostle Paul was very blunt with the Ephesians about this. And oh, how we could use some straightforward talk about these things today!

It’s important that we recognize and understand that Paul wasn’t speaking to the world, unsaved people. He was speaking to the Ephesian Christians! And if it was good for them to hear, it is surely good for us to hear.

Paul then went on to address some other things, such as obscene stories (filthiness), foolish talk and coarse jokes. He bluntly said that these are not fitting for followers of Christ to engage in.

Instead, we should use our mouths to give thanks to God, for His mercy, grace, forgiveness, love and so much more.

You see, it’s important that we understand that no sexually immoral person, no impure person and no greedy person (idolater) will inherit the kingdom of God.

Harsh words? No. Just true words being shared out of love and concern for the body of Christ.

Many times, we try to sidestep these difficult topics because we don’t like what God’s word says. Or we are afraid of hurting someone’s feelings, so we choose to say nothing.

But choosing to say nothing isn’t what we should do. Paul spoke out because he loved the Ephesian Christians! And this is why we share these very tough words today, because we love you and want God’s best for you!

If there are those who would speak empty words to you, to soothe your conscience, pay no attention to them, for they will lead you into God’s wrath.

The ways of the world have crept into the body of Christ and we have begun to embrace some terrible things as being acceptable.

It’s important that we hear the truth, even when it hurts, even when it makes us angry. We can’t correct the error in our lives if we are never told that it’s error. And as long as nobody says anything, we will just coast along, doing what we choose to do.

But we are all accountable to God. We are all responsible for the choices we make as His children.

Let each of us heed His words and His instruction, as well as His warning against these kinds of behavior. Let us seek Him and His forgiveness for our wayward actions and lack of accountability.

God, I seek you and ask for your forgiveness today for the things I have said and done. I have fallen into some terrible behavior and habits. I am truly sorry. Please forgive me and help me to be strong and resist the temptation when it comes. Help me to change my ways and make them pleasing to you. Thank you for loving me and forgiving me. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-26-17

1 Corinthians 7:1-2 (NKJV) Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

We want to talk about the seriousness of sexual immorality. The world today is full of it. But, that does not make it right.

Because we are not of this world that we live in, we must remember that being physically intimate with a woman or man outside of marriage is wrong, no matter how we look at it.

We can try to justify it by saying “We are planning on getting married soon, so it’s OK to live together and act as if we are married”. The truth is, it’s really NOT OK.

Be careful not to get desensitized. God says “no” to sexual immortality. Make the right choice today.

Dear God in Heaven,

Today I come to You and ask for help to make things right. Please forgive me for being involved in sexual immorality.  I am truly sorry and want to change this and make it right. I want to live right and be pleasing and acceptable in Your eyes.

Cleanse me, Lord, and strengthen me to be able to say no to this temptation. Help me to take the steps I need to take to prevent it from happening over and over again. I surrender this desire in me and I ask for Your help. Guide my steps, Oh Lord.

In Jesus’ name I ask. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-23-16

2 Timothy 3:1-4 (NKJV) 3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…

We are living in these very days right now. Today. There is no doubt about it.

Living in the last days can be very exciting. We get to see the word of God being lived out before our very eyes. Prophecies from thousands of years ago are coming to life as we watch!

But, living in these days is, for me, a very sad time also. Why? Because we are witnessing the fall of man. Morality is fast decaying and about to crumble completely. Humans are setting themselves up for utter failure.

Sexual immorality is running rampant. Men and women no longer identify themselves as such. They want to choose their gender. Here in the USA, men are being told that it’s OK to use the ladies restrooms, if they feel like that’s what they want to do.

The world is turning upside down, getting further and further from God as each day goes by. It’s happening so quickly!

But, though it’s sad to watch man fall so quickly, it’s also a time to draw close to God and press into Him. It’s the time to walk so closely to Him that we can hear and feel Him breathing. We need to stick so closely that we hear His every heartbeat.

People of God, the time is now. Time to draw near to Him like never before. Time to put Him first and foremost, in every aspect of our lives.

Though the world around us may crumble, we are safe if we stay close to Him. Listen intently for His voice, as He leads us and gives us direction, to navigate these troubled times in which we live.

He is faithful.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-9-15

1 Corinthians 7 (NKJV) 7 Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

Many people have become desensitized when it comes to sexual immorality. If we become desensitized, it can cause us to make wrong decisions when it comes to relationships.

We need to speak truthfully.

It’s not OK with God to live with a person and have sexual intercourse with them, without being married.

Some people are wondering why there are so many things going wrong in their relationship, wondering why things never get better for them. But yet, they continue in sexual immorality.

So many people truly want their relationship to be blessed by God. But we have to take the right step for God to bless it, and marriage is that step!

If you are living with a person today and God is speaking to you loud and clear about getting married, don’t wait. Make it right with Him today. Both of you take the initiative, repent and be united as one in marriage.

1 Thessalonians 4:3 (NKJV) 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality;
