God, unlike cultish-minded men, doesn’t want to change your personality. He has absolutely no desire in making you a robot. (He could have made such if He’d wanted to.) You’re human; He made you such & enjoys seeing you enjoy humanity. It’s carnality He’s made provision from which to free you while leaving your humanity intact. Humanity in heaven? Yes. Carnality in heaven? Never!

PEEL OF CHIME
What is the mystery called time?
Where was its place of birth?
Who invited its peel to chime
O’er everyman and wife of earth?

Our view of death, even for doctors, caregivers, & undertakers, is so limited. It’s one-sided – all we see is this-life-side of death’s door; we do not see the death-side of this mysterious portal. So can we ever “see” the other side? – the best place is in Holy Scriptures. Read them to know more about the Great Beyond. – eab, 1/17/18
“Always look at your need in the light of your God.”
– James N Ward, sermon, 9/29/1996
The devil doesn’t want you to get serious. (Witness all the comedians, “canned laughter,” silly shows on TV to keep you in a childish mood.) The serious person may become a thinker. Thinking people do not become pawns for the devil.

Php 4.19
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
False Jews (Jesus foretold them: Rev 2.9 & 3.9) don’t want you to know that there /are/ false Jews. There’re probably more false Jews than true ones. They’re probably more vocal. Don’t let a professor or preacher, TV or hollywood, tell you WHO the false ones are. Read the Bible, pray, & keep both eyes *w-i-d-e* open. And – – – perhaps the hardest, be willing to /change/ your mind!
