Which is so in danger of being turned into an empty clique by church going people and pastors who has utterly forgotten:

"From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force." Matthew 11:12

Remembering a comment by Chuck Meisler about Albert Einstein's scientific observation of the wonder of Creation (the Universe)

It went along the lines of Einstein had seen so much wonder in the Universe that when the typical pastor (casually) spoke about God he wasn't talking about the REAL LIVING GOD who is Infinite in Power and Supernatural in Intelligence, whose very being out to make a preacher want to get on his face and hide himself on the floor behind his pulpit than to imagine he is in the least capable of standing up and speaking of this Best and Foremost of all Beings.

O may God mercifully grant to we who so do not deserve it, a real revelation of how heinous sin and evil are until we cannot help but be on our faces before Him crying out, in utter humility

Deliver us from evil

I would like to request prayer for Middle Tennessee this weekend. Several white supremacy groups are planning "white lives matter" rallys () in Murfreesboro and Shelbyville on Saturday. No doubt, antifa () will be there as well. I have family members who live in Murfreesboro, and I am praying for their safety. I find this whole thing heartbreaking.

praying along the lines that God would supernatural reveal, and convict their consciences the protesters, the concerned and apathetic:
HIS LIFE Matters
HIS LOVE Matters
HIS WORD Matters
HIS MERCY Matters
HIS GRACE Matters
HIS FORGIVENESS MATTERS
HIS KINGDOM Matters
HIS WILL Matters
HAVING HIS SPIRIT Matters

YOU Matter to HIM, even if you hate Him, even if you are the most vile heinous hell deserving sinner on earth at this time;
So REPENT and BELIEVE IN HIM

The Ten Commandments will be known and felt by all on the coming Day of Judgment. They are the benchmark, by which God will judge the world.
This is why, when God sets to task to convince men of sin (law-breaking) he brings to their mind the law, so that they can see they are law-breakers.
Modern man realises that with no law, there is no guilt. And they do not like to feel guilt. And so they do away with law. This means doing away with both the word of God, and the Word of God.
Prayer-meeting today at 11.00am in Pembroke, followed by tracting in the streets. Any support in prayer greatly appreciated.

How are you keeping these days?

Walked away from a church that didn't want to change. Tried a couple in my home town ... didn't work
AND Praise God! Was Providentially led to a church with a young, just turned 30 pastor in the real sense of the word, who believes in the great commission, does street evangelism, cares about the people, continues to be a great student of the word of God, mentors/disciples/influences people for their good.

One who likes me, allows me to write gospel tracts and put the church's name on them; put me on the church's outreach committee; has been with me to the local abortion clinic (he is a personal friend of Jon Speed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxDyfSHEq5g ) encourages us in a Jeff Durbin approach to Apologetics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMXTlIAN5Q0 who of course is thoroughly opposed to abortion, seeing it as a Gospel issue

Here is part of that narrow difficult path those who hear (really hear and take to heart) His word and follow Him:

Proverbs 24:
10 If you faint in the day of adversity,
your strength is small.
11 Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?

I hope you all understand it is so easy to say, 'Lord, Lord' and give verbal acknowledgment abortion is so wrong

... it reminds me of another King

Jesus spoke of a shepherd who would leave the 99 in a safe pasture to go, seek and find the 1 sheep that was not with them, that was not safe, that needed to be again under his protection

IMHO we need to have and practice this attitude, this concern of our Lord Jesus Christ towards our fellow human beings born and unborn, male or female, young (even preborn) rich or poor, saved or lost, etc. etc. etc.

It seems something the "PROFESSIONALS" in the business of Pro-life are lacking:

Here is one of the very best sermons I have ever heard on Biblical Manhood/Biblical Womanhood and so much more touching on genuine Biblical Truth and Christianity (please prayerfully watch the whole series)

Another Michael,
I believe the comments are toward Jj not John for Jesus.
It was one fireball comment meant to disparage. Doesn’t need a commentary, but should be left to fizzle out.

No endorsement of J4J but a humble thankfulness he threw up an important passage of Scripture regarding those who are going to hell.

26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 10:26-31

From the article:
Pastor Francis Chan warned an audience assembled at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, that too many Christians are ashamed of the gospel and, as a result, are changing their theology.

This article goes on an links to a fuller telling of the story; Chan essentially pointing to, in my words, 'we don't get persecuted for feeding the poor, we get applauded for fighting human trafficking, not persecuted, and people don't get angry with us for laboring for racial reconciliation [let me add: often lost people will flock to an entertaining, well performed inspiring Christian music concert or even Hollywood movie]

God's Holy Word warns us today.....
2Cor 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."

The very next verse is also powerfully filled with life:
2 Corinthians 7:1
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

When I recall my past sins, it is troublesome to me. But, when I think of how all that vileness was laid upon Christ, it greatly distresses me to think a holy, sinless God would be a sin offering for ALL my vileness.

An enormous part of my testimony of conversion was having a woman explain the Cross to me; He proving His very real compassionate undeserved love for me a guilty sinner, in enormous danger of perishing in my sin; Jesus dying in my place because He loved me, while I was still a sinner that brought me to where I wanted this Jesus the Bible tells us of, tells us the Truth of so many religious people aren't (I was raised Catholic), making me want to be His disciple in every part of my life, to know Him and be with Him, all the live long day, not just for 75 minutes on Sunday morning

And by His grace seeing it is this kind of love He has for heartbreakingly lost sinners, desiring none to perish but for all to come to repentance that is a huge part of motivating me to go and tell them of the One who saved a wretch like me.

In my previous post I wanted to point to the Mercy and Sovereignty of God using this imperfect President to give His people opportunity to leave the safety of their "pristine churches" to actually go out into a dirty and dark world with the light of the Gospel

Now for all of us who read these news reports, I urge you and pray for you and ask/beg you to pray along with me ; that you (we) would not receive this grace of God to speak freely about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in vain, and waste the opportunity we are being given here.
