The “church” and the “world”

The “church” and the “world” appear at times and in some locales, to be walking hand-n-hand. Beware, friend, beware. This is not the true church but some wannabes (“…many…will seek to enter in…” Luk 13.24) i.e. false “christians.” Nor, in a sense, is this the true world. The world will someday show its real hatred for God and will be very put-out with fake Christians.

HELP OUR ATTITUDE

 

Strive to be righteous in head and heart

(Ready earth to soon gladly depart)

Never give up precious light.

But “I’m right” pride firmly resist

Don’t let a “you’re wrong huff” persist.

(Competitiveness can cause a fight. 😦  )

Protecting the home

God made one institution FIRST.

It was not a state. It was not a school. It was not a church. It was the home: one man, one wife for life. This is why satan hates the home – it’s God’s prime organization. The devil and dirty courts have been destroying homes. Too many ministers have grown silent on one of the west’s great sins. They deceived themselves into thinking they are “compassionate.” To preach “high theological themes” and ignore the God-ordained truths protecting His first institution (the home) is to NOT “declare…all the counsel of God” (Act 20.27).
