Just one question: If, if this is true then why do our politicians and those who do their bidding in the media possess the spirit of antichrist—an anti-Christian spirit that treats others with such hostility, disrespect and mean-spirited? Why is the state of our country so godless and in an advanced state of decay and decline? Something is grossly immoral and amiss! hr
Consider this from 3 of our founding fathers:
  1. Benjamin Franklin - Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
  2. Jedidiah Morse - Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government - and all blessings which flow from them - must fall with them.
  3. John Adams - Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

This may help to answer some of your questions as to our current national state of affairs. The honest student of history knows this to be true. Also read:

You're Pushing Too Hard Pushing Too Hard, On Me

As I was thinking recently in light of the current events and ominous trends in our country – the loud voices, pushy people, corrupt politicians, judges, government institutions, businesses, banks, teachers, preachers, even fake churches, et al., trying to take control of and run our lives, rather, destroy them and our world, an old 60's hit song popped into mind. I'm guessing many of you get what I'm talking about—how something of the moment can trigger a memory of a favorite song of your past that applies to your current thoughts.

As with most of these flashbacks, not all the lyrics are applicable but the message of the song from memory tends to apply to a current feeling. That was the beauty of the lyrics of that time before rock videos exploded into our consciousness. We could apply our own imaginations to the lyrics for its meaning to paint a mental image, even video, the best of painters can't. (Then the group's videos began being released, destroying our own personal imaginings.) The case is no less with this song: "You're Pushing Too Hard", first performed by The Seeds in 1965. It was another fractured time in our country. Only now we truly do stand on the "Eve of Destruction." (Another poignant song of the same period that comes to mind - 1965 - which btw exploded into the public consciousness and was written into the congressional record for helping to change the voting age from age 21 to 18. It is also interesting to note that artist, Barry McGuire, went on to become a pioneer song writer and singer of contemporary Christian music. The song's writer, P.F. Sloan, had this to say about his experience in wrting the song. Prescient.) Pushing Too Hard!!! The song, "You're Pushing Too Hard", was written by Sky Saxon one day when taking his then girlfriend grocery shopping. Remaining in the car while she went inside, he began thinking how she had been pushing him too hard recently and was becoming too controlling, destroying his individuality and limiting his freedom. As he waited, he penned his thoughts that is said to include those toward his girlfriend's growing behavior and the overall unsettling state of the country. It is thought to have been a warning to her, and the undesirable "movers of society" of that time. Maybe it's just me, but I have the sense that forces beyond our daily control are pushing and steering us in a direction most of us don't want to go. I certainly don't. I make no apology for the past. I wasn't there. Wasn't me. As the Bible teaches, we are to owe no one anything. I owe no one nothing but to love them as Christ loved me—per His Commandment. I don't demand their conformity to my idea for them nor do I judge them when they don't. Nor do I conform to their idea for me. God sets my path. I serve Him. Too many people trying to rule the world today!

Our hope and prayer is that through the work of the Holy Spirit as you study you will be blessed by it, and if so, recommend it to a friend.

We begin this month with the Preface to the book: Adam2.


In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. (Genesis 1,2, & 3 KJV - Redacted)

Unpermitted to carry with him even one day's provision when he walked through the closing gate of the Garden into a new hostile world, one cannot help but wonder if, as Lot's wife, this first Adam did not look longingly over his shoulder at a sealed and vanishing home of cherished memories. If he did, then he had to have seen a lonely Figure standing in the doorway in the distance in heart-broken agony, just as the prodigal's father, watching the departure of a loved son lost through his own desires—and with the expectant look of a hope to see him someday return. And if this errant son had looked closer, he would have seen standing beside this Father another Son, a Second Adam yet to be born, One who would later enter this fallen world outside that Garden to show the first Adam's descendants the way to this Eternal Home's hidden entrance.

Think On This

When Life Is Uncertain
When Life Seems Uncertain

There are so many things in life that are uncertain—important things. This may itself be a time of uncertainty for you. Understanding, you think, if I could just understand it wouldn't seem so bad. We think if we could see just a silhouette of what might be, today would not seem so dark. Strength fails us. Weariness adds its weight daily to my soul. Anxiety strikes and seizes me frequently without warning. I do not understand what is happening with me. How long? When, when shall my deliverance be when life seems so uncertain now?

There are times when we have exited the clouds of uncertainty only to discover some things we are glad we had no prior knowledge, things that if known would have clouded and weighed our minds even further. But still, there are some things we desire desperately to know—now: answers to long sought objects of our tearful prayers or the way clear of a present cloud or storm. It could be the sting of a betrayed loyalty, love, or friendship, fear of an impending loss or a time of great chaos, confusion and upheaval. We believe having prior knowledge or some understanding of how it may eventually be with us would mitigate our present anxiety thus allowing some joy, any joy, in our current dark days. God does not generally give us the choice of that knowledge. However, one thing we can know is that while we can't see, He can. While we can't control the outcome, He does...

Bible Summaries

Romans Chapter Summary

The following is taken from the Book of Old Testament Summaries.

Chapter
  1. (970 B.C.?) The song of songs, Solomon's. The bride desires and describes the kiss of her love, better than wine, drawn to run together, later to be brought into his chambers. She describes herself with humility: black but comely, because of her duties in life. Her soul desires the presence of her love. She finds him by his flock. He expresses a comparison of her and his compassion for her. She responds in kind: he, a cluster of camphire. He then compliments her: fair with dove's eyes. She is euphoric in his presence in their surroundings, lying with him on the grass under the cedar and fir.
  2. She expresses her humility—a rose of Sharon. He replies: "a lily among thorns." She compares him to an apple tree, she in its shadow. She is brought to a banquet, honored with his banner of love. She swoons, upheld by the hand of his strength, caressed by the other. Love to awaken in its own strength without outside interference. She awakens; he comes to her as a roe. He calls for her to come away; winter has past, spring comes. She recognizes and requests the removal of the "little foxes" that would eat away at their mutual devotion. She declares her betrothal: she his, he hers. Her night temporal, their day everlasting.
  3. She dreams upon her bed while she waits for him to come to her in the night. She searches for him in the city, encountered by the watchmen, discovering him shortly. She clings to him, bringing him to her mother's house. Love again awakens in its own strength. The people are awed and astonished at the regal arrival of the king's procession, his attendants, his carriage, and his nuptial crown.
  4. The king's sevenfold description of his bride, his spouse (the veil now gone, seeing her face). He calls her from the desires of her past to the affection of her present and future with him, for she has ravished his heart with her love. To him she is a garden, enclosed, secured for him alone, with many treasures to be enjoyed, a fountain of gardens with living waters. She appeals to the gentle winds to blow upon her gardens that he, smelling her fragrances, come into his garden to partake of its fruits.

The Way Of the Eagles The Way Of the Eagles
Thunderheads rolled ominously over the Western hills, as the lightning bolts streaked across the sky. In a lush green valley below, two birds together in a barn lot reacted in different ways. Appearing similar in some ways, the birds were actually different as day and night. The chicken, with her head down and her beak busy in the trash of the barnyard, stepped up her pace as she scratched among the debris and filth searching for grubworms, scraps, and bits of corn. Knowing that time was short, and that she would soon have to take refuge in the safety of the barn, she worked frantically to get a meal before the full fury of the storm struck...

How The Megachurch
Destroyed Christianity

The consequences of the magnitude of such a broad scale world-wide implementation of a "new church model" cannot be ignored. It must be examined by the serious Bible student and Christian! It must be looked at in light of Bible prophecy. We must heed the warnings of both Jesus' own words when He walked the earth and those inspired by the Holy Spirit written later for our advantage in alertness of end-time events and trends. Not to do so would be perilous. So, I have prayerfully written 5 articles on this demonic phenonemonen with hopes they will help you to understand how serious this modern attack is on the true church of Christ - Articles on the Modern Church.
The End-Time Deception
World Religions Sometimes in life the choice between two paths seems almost indistinguishable. It may not be one of your doing but there it is anyway.
pixel
You may wonder how it came about but wonder as you may it's not going away.
pixel
You may think because it is not too distinguishable it is of little consequence so your choice is not really going to impact you in the short-term—and you hope in the long term.
pixel
The day has come we are faced with such a choice. It is not one of our doing but we all have to make it.
pixel
But before you do, I ask this one simple question for serious consideration: If you consented to wear the government's and businesses' mask today will you wear their mark tomorrow?
pixel
For that day surely is coming—sooner than you think. They know the more we go along with the false and illegal choices forced upon us the easier in time it becomes.
