Shocking Finding: Two-thirds (67%) of pre-teen parents claim to be Christian, but only 2% of all pre-teen parents actually possess a biblical worldview...
American Values Personal Survey
Poll: American Majority Wants Congress to Pass Pro-Life Protections
Downward Trend Who Say Same-Sex Relations Morally Acceptable
Satan, The Father Of Lies
Battle For America's Soul
Ligonier Ministries' Biennial Study of The State Of American Theology
Among the Shocking findings are -
1. "31% of adults say it is very important for their religious faith to influence every dimension of their life."
2. "49% accept reincarnation as a possibility after they die."
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!
Consider this from 3 of our founding fathers:
Benjamin Franklin - Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
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.
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:
Sometimes in life the choice between two paths seems almost indistinguishable. It may not be one of your doing but there it is anyway. You may wonder how it came about but wonder as you may it's not going away. 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.
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. 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? 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. They've done their studies. It has all been war-gamed out by them. Look it up. (Start with just these 3: 1.2001 - Dark Winter, conducted by Johns Hopkins Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies, in collaboration with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Analytic Services Institute for Homeland Security, and the Oklahoma National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, 2.2019 - Event 201, conducted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation & 3.Urban Outbreak 2019, conducted by the Naval War College and some 50+ "experts".)
First, they asked you to wear the mask and many thought, "oh well, it's no big deal; besides, they said it was only for a short time." But it's been well over a year and still over 90% of the population is wearing them even though the overwhelming science has shown that it doesn't provide any benefit. To the contrary, they insomuch admit it but they say, "wear it anyway!" With no pun intended, now they rub it in your face to say just one mask isn't enough. You must wear two, even three, four, and Lord Fauci is saying: well, maybe five might not hurt. Just recently, a study was done of children's masks and what they found when microscopically examined is enough to scare any parent into burning them, immediately—or should.
I am appalled to see how many have been deceived by this lie—grown men and women walking along in the scorching sun with it pulled up to their eyes, driving by themselves at 80 mph down an LA freeway. Jesus forewarned us that many would fall prey to a great deception in the end. Through the many years and throughout my studies I often wondered what would be that "Great Deception" in the last days that would lead astray an entire world. A clue was left for us in His Word. There can be no doubt now. We see it manifested every day as we walk among those who have been--masks, shots, "social distancing", church closures and all the many other anti-human acts they brain-wash the masses with.
The Book of Revelation warns us that big pharma (Greek for sorceries) will be the single greatest avenue by which the earth will be deceived thus setting the stage for the Antichrist to step forward as a "savior". Make no mistake about it, this incremental deception—first the mask, then the shot(s), then...?—asks you to surrender your will to a power other than that of yours or of God. It is satanic. It is the same choice, and great deception, in the beginning with Adam and his wife. You surrender your sovereignty?, your body is no longer yours. Let me ask you here this profound question posed by Jesus Himself: For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mt.16:25-26) Never before has this verse had greater meaning. Death all around and they promise life if...if you surrender to their conditions. NO! the Christian must say. NO! I will not surrender my body that has already been given to God as a sacrifice. It is holy. (Rom.12:1-2) It is a sacrilige they ask of you. NO! My body is no longer mine to surrender to your shot.
Turns out, that small choice to wear the mask isn't so small after all. Now they tell you you must have the "shots(s)". The mark surely is not far behind. Don't you see the incremental steps Satan puts before us to ease us into full compliance? They've even told us as much. Study their writings. Study their words. You owe it to yourself and those you love, just say NO! Yes, it will cost you. Already has many, even their life. But they died with their soul intact. They overcame.
When it comes to matters of faith, it is eternally crucial we get these choices right because there may be no coming back from them. But I'm wondering. For many, is it already too late? With well over 50% of Americans now having been "vaccinated", as reported, 80% in some states, enough research has come in to cause many top leading scientists to raise the alarm. The vaccine is killing more than Covid. Consequently, it may be too late for those who have been deceived by corrupt officials and ignorant and Biblically incompetent pastors. But this is only the beginning.
Those same scientists, who have studied at length the design and complications of these "shots"—the vaccine pushers admit they are not vaccines—in increasing numbers are telling us, some without doubt, millions are going to die within the next 2 years. Think about that for a moment. You likely know someone who has already taken the "shot." Or, unfortunately, you may have yourself. If you or your loved one is one of these, seek expert medical help. Many are working tirelessly to discover ways to mitigate the damage, and death, that will come.
At first, Satan's steps for submission and compliance seem innocuous and incremental. For many, the choice is not very certain and some plunge headlong ahead hoping they are making the right one. But again, enough evidence and experience is mounting now that it should become quite apparent to one who keeps an open mind that the choice made, just as with the mask, was the wrong choice. We can actually see no good is coming of it. Each day the tragedies mount. Countries are banning them. Manufacturers are even pulling them. But yet, here in America, it's full steam ahead by the authoritarians—be damned the science. Even President Trump, to my disappointment, continues to vigorously push them—although I do understand his political reason for doing so.
Now they tell us to take their vaccine even though they admit it won't keep us from getting COVID. Take it anyway, they insist. Buying the lie, people don the mask. They stand in long lines to take the shot without even knowing, or caring, what it contains.
So, at this point, we are left with many troubling questions. Where is it going to end for you—when you say they have gone too far? When is it going to end for you? When and what is going to be your choice? Have you already made it? What will be the long-term consequences of your choice? What will be your fate if you go along? What will be your future if you don't resist? These all need to be considered because the choice is grave.
The path ahead is becoming much clearer today than it was just over a year ago. Choose carefully, my friend, for God is not the author of confusion. Seek and know His will for your life in these last troublesome days. Don't fall prey to the Great Lie, the Great Deception. At all cost, keep yourself pure as the Bride of Christ. DO NOT yoke yourself to another.
Finally, as encouragement, see what the Bible says is promised to those who overcome. Think of these when Satan casts his darkness over your soul. This is how you overcome—faith, faith in His promises. Learn them. Know them. For they will strengthen you in those times. And remember, Satan is the Father of Lies!

The following is taken from the Book, Adam2: A Guide For The Walk Home, written by our founder.
It is A Commentary On The Gospel Of John, complete with a background look at the contemporary Jewish groups active in Jesus' day.
It includes a summary of each chapter, a redacted study of each disciple, a brief study of Gnosticism of the time, pertinent timelines,
and much more. Each chapter of study includes extensive Biblical references to the notes on the chapter.
A chronological excerpt of each section will be posted here at the beginning of each month. You can access free of charge at any time
a complete online digital version
for your further study. In addition, a link will be provided to purchase the book on CD to install on
your own computer for convenience of study and print. All we ask is that you observe the stated copyrights as with any book you buy over
the counter, limiting your print to only one hard copy for your own personal use. If further hard copies are necessary,
please contact us for an additional nominal fee. Thank you for your interest in this study. 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.
Now for the Conclusion to the background study of the 5 major Jewish groups in Jesus' time
for preparation of the textual study of the Gospel of John in the book: Adam2.
Having looked now at some possible origins, developments, beliefs, and comparisons of five major Jewish groups in Jesus' day,
the obvious question that remains to be asked is: what of their end? Since these groups all had their roots in Judaism
(which flourished within a free Jewish state, whether under independent rule or favorable foreign occupation),
it stands to reason that if those conditions were altered, then changes were inevitable. Hopefully,
it has become clear to the reader that the Jewish state did not end because Rome was hostile to their religion.
On the contrary, Rome's stated policy on the religion of other conquered nations was:
religio-lictus, which is
Latin for a lawful religion recognized as legitimate within that nation. However, due to the
seditious nature of a certain element that led to the fall of Jerusalem and the Jewish state in A.D.70,
life for the Jews would never be the same.
For the scribes whose role in Judaism was more function than political, as long as there remained a need for the
preservation and reproduction of God's revelation and the chronicles of Israel's history, they would always have
their place in Jewish society, no matter the state of it (even to modern times). From Genesis
to Malachi, God had inspired holy men made wise through the knowledge of His revelation to
record His continuing record. However, failing to recognize and embrace Jesus as their expected messiah, the first
century self-righteous scribes had abdicated their position as the truly wise of Israel, as once seen in their predecessors.
God would no longer use these "whited sepulchers" as vessels for His continuing revelation. He would choose a tax collector,
Galilean fishermen, a Gentile physician, a turncoat Pharisee, etc., men unlearned in the hierarchy of Jewish tradition and
wisdom (with the exception of one), to confound the wise of the day and complete the record of His revelation.
Since the Pharisees were mainly identified with the synagogue that had taken root in Jewish society, theirs would be the
remaining party to survive the demise of the Jewish state. Following the end of all other rivals, their name would no
longer be necessary and eventually all became known simply as, the Jews.
For the Sadducees, whose whole purpose and function revolved around Temple life, with the destruction of the Temple
and the dispersion of the Jews, their reason for being no longer existed. Hence, as a party, they ceased to exist.
As might be expected, one may be led to believe that with the severity in which Rome overcame the sedition of the Zealots,
they in turn were finished. And indeed they were for a time, but another resurgence would occur under the proclaimed messiah,
Bar Cochba, in A.D. 132, only to be thoroughly put down within three years by eight of Rome's best legions.The area's name
was then changed from Judea to Palestinia (after the Philistines). The region would remain in the hands of foreigners until
A.D. 1948 when David Ben Gurion would become Israel's first new national leader.
Most of us have either heard or heard of John Lennon's song: Imagine
(there's no heaven... lyrics).
On the surface it sounds wonderful: a utopia where everyone is one--no divisions, conflict, struggle or want—here, now.
There's just one problem with that: Sin. Read the
lyrics
again. What do you see missing? Two things: the Redemption of man and most importantly, the Absence of God.
One does not have to look far nor into the too distant past to see evidence of
that in its most frightening horrific form. Lennon's own life ended tragically. Sin is inescapable no matter how much we may
imagine. Evil exists in the world and lies within the heart of the best of us whether we act on its impulse or not.
And what of that I wonder was Lennon's suggestion for us? How do you suppose He proposed to expiate sin and evil from the heart of man,
something that can not be seen nor touched by the most learned scientist, skilled surgeon or world philosopher?
Following Mr. Lennon's suggestion of imagining "no heaven, no hell, no religion", let me propose this:
Imagine There Is No Christ!
Sit for a moment and reflect. Close your eyes and look with the mind's eye. Imagine there is a world without Christ, without His church,
His Christians, without God, without the evidences in creation of His nature of order and purpose. In our arrogance and self-nurturing ego
many assume, as did Lennon, we possess of our own making all the desirable attributes of righteousness and good intentions toward others,
that it has no source outside ourselves, originating out of our own sense of goodness, special being and self-healing. There isn't anything
inherently wrong with any of us other than flawed thinking and a lack of acceptance, understanding and imagination. If we would all just come
together and agree to see the world and each other in the same single way there would be world harmony. Miraculously, we would all live
and sing in tune as "one." The problem with that is obvious on its surface. Who determines the "same single way" all are to agree
and live harmoniously? How do so many independent thinkers and individual lives, corrupted by sin and evil, come to that point—generation
after generation? And what if, let's say for argument purposes, just one doesn't comply?...
For centuries we have chosen this time of year to observe and celebrate the birth of Jesus to our world. He was called:
Immanuel—God with us. Based upon the teaching of Scripture, I am of the opinion that Jesus did not observe one single
birthday of his earthly existence. There is no where in the New Testament indicating so, unlike many of the other Jewish
festivals and feasts He did observe. But we are eternally grateful that He was born in our nature and gave us the record
of His purpose in coming. And what a life that was and a record it is! Believe He is God or not, none of His critics
through the centuries have denied His existence or exemplary life. But just suppose He did not come. Suppose there has
been no Christ. Suppose there is no Christian in the world. Suppose we live without that innate sense of a sovereign
and saving God, as Lennon suggests...
The following is taken from the Book of New Testament Summaries.
Chapter
(A.D.60-63?)
God, who once spoke through the prophets, has now spoken through His Son, the first-begotten of Him.
Jesus, being made in the image of God, higher than the angels, to be worshipped by them, made and sustains
all things. He is everlasting, sending forth His ministering angels to minister to all the heirs of His salvation.
His message, witnessed by man, therefore, is paramount, to be heard and obeyed by all, neglected by none, if we are
to escape this world alive. Man, being crowned with glory and honor, was given dominion over all things,
having all things placed under his feet (control). But yet he, because of his sin, lost and no longer holds
dominion over his own death, it seizing and enslaving him. Christ, then, being made as man, lower than the
angels by His choice for a season, and being made perfect through His suffering, became the Captain of our salvation.
He defeated Satan who was given the power over man's death by man himself (
Gen.2:17;
3:17-19),
returning death back under man's feet. Man is finally able through Christ to be free from the bondage and fear of death.
Because of His suffering and temptations while overcoming death for us, He is able to minister to us in our present
suffering under death's curse.
Partaking of this Heavenly calling, we now have a High Priest and Apostle who will be faithful
to the finish of this calling, with greater glory than Moses who was faithful to Israel. Therefore,
let us hold fast this confidence and hope, with a believing and obedient heart, to the end that
we may enter into His rest, unlike the unbelieving fathers in the first Earthly Exodus who died
out in the wilderness.
Let us put away all unbelief and labor (believe) with faith to enter into the rest that remains for
us even to this day. Be cautioned that His Word is able to lay open our hearts, even to the
minutest detail of our deepest thoughts and intentions. Because we have so great a High Priest
who once experienced all that we ever will, yet without sin, let us approach His throne with
bold confidence for grace and mercy in our needs. [See Jn.6. Jesus' teaching on labor (work).]
Therefore, Christ, called of God to be a High Priest after the order of Melchisedec, became
the author of our salvation after having been made perfect in His learning obedience through
much suffering, even unto His death. This is a hard teaching, unable to be understood by
immature believers whose spiritual senses are dull and unexercised, unable to discern the
deeper things of God. Meat, not milk, grows one to maturity in Christ, enabling them to teach others.
May God permit us, then, to go on beyond the basic principles (teachings) of Christ concerning
our salvation: baptism, laying on of hands, the resurrection, and eternal judgment. It is
impossible to begin again and again, for that requires His sacrifice anew and anew, thus putting
Him to open shame, in that His first was not sufficient. Know that God will not forget our work
and labor of love, and He Himself will remain faithful to His promise to us; this He swears by
Himself, and He is not a liar. This is our hope, the anchor of our soul beyond the veil, that is
the Lord Jesus our High Priest.
Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God who received tithes of Abraham from
his victory in Lot's rescue, is the Old Testament type of our high priest in Christ. (Without
father, mother, descent, beginning or end, abiding a priest continually forever.) He descended
not of the Levites, in fact, Levi, being in his father's loins, paid tithes unto him. Furthermore,
we are not even made perfect through Aaron's priesthood, or else there would have been no need for another.
Aaron's priesthood, being made after the carnal commandant without oath, is temporal, for they were sinners themselves,
who also needed a sacrifice, and who all died. Therefore, the priesthood was changed, and with it, the carnal Law disannuled,
and Christ, from the lineage of Judah, not Levi, who needed no sacrifice for Himself, with an oath, has become a new Priest.
Because He continues forever, needing not daily ministration for Himself, as Aaron's priesthood once did, offered Himself
once and for all as our full and final sacrifice, consecrated forevermore.
[A summary follows.] We now have a High Priest, a Minister of the true Tabernacle, who is
seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majestic in Heaven. His is the true priesthood of
the true Tabernacle, the old priesthood being only a foreshadow given to Moses pointing to
and preparing for the coming of the new in Christ. If we have a new Priest and Tabernacle,
then a new Covenant is needed. This He gives, and instead of writing it on stone as before, He
now writes into our hearts and minds His laws, with no need of a teacher but Him. As a result
of His new Covenant, the first, then, is made old and vanishes.

WEF Official Calls for AI to Re-Write the Bible 'Correctly'
"In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct … just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI. That could be a reality in a few years," states WEF advisor Yuval Noah Harari, "a homosexual, Israeli author and historian who holds mostly to atheistic beliefs in spirituality," - Charismamag.com.

Take Heed to the Church - 2/7/1954
Acts 20:28: Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
An Expectant Father Is Never To Be Feared When Entering At Opposite Ends His Avenue Of Prayer!... Read More
The miracle is not that He lets you live, rather, He prevents you from succumbing in His Holy presence at your meeting.
Righteousness meeting unrighteousness. And as you stand exposed in His radiant presence, He has not come empty-handed. He has brought
a robe, a costly one, purchased at Calvary, whereby you adorn to rightfully remain in His Presence.
And so you walk, Father and son, two hearts woven as one, clothed in the Protective Robe made possible by His Other Son.
Because you have trusted, you no longer fear!
THIS IS PRAYER!
To Walk In Calm Communion, Two Friends Conversing. Both Hearts Open. Perfect Love, Giving No Place To Fear. Able To Hear, His Will To You, Now Made Clear.
(Lk.24:15,32)
AND SO PRAY:
"Thank you, Father, for the vesture of prayer that my Savior provided, making it possible for my presence in yours."
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper."

"While for our princes they prepare
In caverns deep a burning snare,
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to day."
And secondly—to-day is the anniversary of the landing of King William III, at Torbay, by which the hope of Popish ascendancy was quashed, and religious liberty was secured, 1688.
This day ought to be celebrated, not by the saturnalia of striplings, but by the songs of saints. Our Puritan forefathers most devoutly made it a special time of thanksgiving. There is extant a record of the annual sermons preached by Matthew Henry on this day. Our Protestant feeling, and our love of liberty, should make us regard its anniversary with holy gratitude. Let our hearts and lips exclaim, "We have heard with our ears, and our fathers have told us the wondrous things which Thou didst in their day, and in the old time before them." Thou hast made this nation the home of the gospel; and when the foe has risen against her, Thou hast shielded her. Help us to offer repeated songs for repeated deliverances. Grant us more and more a hatred of Antichrist, and hasten on the day of her entire extinction. Till then and ever, we believe the promise, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper." Should it not be laid upon the heart of every lover of the gospel of Jesus on this day to plead for the overturning of false doctrines and the extension of divine truth? Would it not be well to search our own hearts, and turn out any of the Popish lumber of self-righteousness which may lie concealed therein?

Civilization is under attack. In university classrooms all over America, once revered figures such as Christopher Columbus, William Shakespeare,
John Milton and George Washington are now being castigated as "dead white males." The glib chant of Stanford students quoted above has become
expressive of a swelling surge of protest which appeared on campuses in the late 1960s and has continued unabated to this day...
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Because of God's assurances given to us in His Word, as Christians, we should take Him at His Word and promise ourselves we will
never again do those things He has given us the power to overcome. These are just the beginning in a long list waiting to be
discovered as you read. Read them. Claim them. Practice daily walking in His Power in them. Write them out. Carry them with you.
Look at and repeat them to yourself often. Soon you will discover you will give no second thought of them as His Spirit transforms
you into His likeness... Read More
For just one example. When someone asks you, "How's your day going?" and difficulties seem more than normal
for you, don't reply, "Terrible, just terrible. I'm really having a bad day." Be genuine. Rise above your difficulties and
live in the Joy of His promises and assurances. "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalms 118:24;
"(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)" - II Co.5:7. So, I will never again say: I'm having a bad day!...
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.
21st Century Book Burning
The book burners are back.
No, they do not raid libraries, higher educations of learning, private homes, churches or anywhere else the censors of their predecessors' day may have arbitrarily chosen to target. Today, they sit in seats of power in the federal, state and local governments.
They also sit in the upper offices of high-rises with a view. They can be found in all major tech companies, print publications, TV, radio and every platform of social media.
They come in all stripes.
They dress in $10,000 Brioni suits. They drive $5 million Bugatti Divo sports cars. They lobby congress for continued immunity from those who would hold them accountable for the out-of-control policies and practices they gradually have instituted which now affect everyone's everyday life. What a life we have given them!
