"'Fasten your seat belt': Pastor Greg Laurie talks potential fulfillment of Bible prophecy in Israel-Hamas War"

"Greg Laurie says rapture is next event on prophetic calendar: 'Get right with God'"



And a couple of encouraging songs, at least for those that know Jesus as Lord and Savior (and if you don't, check out "Starting your own relationship with Jesus" and "Support for Jesus and the Bible"):

Updated: Alana L. 5L (misunderstood sovereignty)

-
Image
[I redid Point #5 and #6 in the Alana L. series on my other blog (and re-lettered the posts).  But instead of going back and changing the already-posted points on this blog, I'll just add the posts in their own little "series."]  Point #5 still :   L : "Sovereign, sovereign, sovereign, sovereign."   Misunderstood "sovereignty" You see, the thing is (and what most people fail to realize is) that Calvinists  incorrectly  make sovereignty about how God must  use  His authority and power, believing that He  must   always  be  using  His all-powerful authority  all the time  to  preplan ,  cause ,  contro l   everything , even sin and evil and unbelief,  "or else He's not a sovereign, omnipotent, in-control God." As  John MacArthur  says :  "... [God]  makes every decision that’s ever been made,   essentially, about everything....  He is the decider and ...

What Real Encouragement Looks Like Sometimes!

-
Who would've thought that "encouraging each other in the Lord" would take the form of two hours of telling each other, "Yep, that crap's hard!"? - A text I got from a friend after a long conversation about the trials we've been through, the heartaches we've known, and how difficult life can be sometimes.  It made me smile!

White horses and a cup of tea (part 3)

-
Image
[I'm working my way through this slowly.  Click here for part 1 and part 2 of this series.]  First, here's The White Horse Parable again (my version): A man and his son owned a field that they farmed for a living.  And one day, they found a white horse in the field. "Oh, what a blessing," said the farmer.  "A free horse." But then the horse started tearing up their plants.   "Oh, this is terrible.  What a curse!" cried the farmer.   But then they caught the horse and tamed it and were able to use it to farm the field. "Oh, what a blessing," said the farmer. But then the son was thrown off the horse, broke both arms, and couldn't farm for months, reducing their sales and income. "Oh, what a curse," said the farmer. "I wish this horse never came to us.  Why, God?  Why!?!" But then a war started, and the army issued a draft.  But because the son had broken arms, he was excused from the draft and didn't have to f...

Alana L. on how to recognize (and defeat) Calvinism (series intro)

-
Image
Introduction I'm starting a series of posts on a great new video from Alana L.:   5 Signs Your Loved One is Becoming a Calvinist    I've been wanting someone to make a video like this for awhile now - to help people recognize Calvinism when they hear it, to help them realize it's a big deal that they should take seriously and research, and to help them know why it's wrong and how it spreads. Those who've studied against Calvinism know how very tricksy it is.  But those who  don't know anything about it, or how to recognize it, or how it takes over, or how it sounds like it's teaching one thing when it's  really  teaching something totally different, or how it twists or misinterprets Scripture... well, they  are sitting ducks, fish in a barrel who become easy targets for a Calvinist pastor (especially a stealth Calvinist pastor) who slowly and strategically indoctrinates them into this twisted theology, before they ever see it coming, like boiling...

Is God Drawing Lines in the Sand?

-
(reposted again, from another blog of mine) It’s amazing and disturbing how brazen our society is in attacking everything about God and everything He created:   marriage, monogamy, sex, family, sexuality, the scientific reality of gender, morality, modesty, the value of a person, the right to life, the existence of "right and wrong," the Bible, Jesus, and Absolute Truth.   Not to mention God Himself, His very existence.   We are destroying everything associated with Him (except nature – we worship that), and then we call ourselves "progressive." But you know what I think about it all? I think that God is letting it happen because He is drawing lines in the sand.   Through all these divisive issues and all the immorality, God is saying “Pick a side!   I am forcing you to decide which side you want to be on ... because I am coming back soon to take My people out of here.  So I need you all to decide:  Me or the world?...

In the Midst of Unanswered Prayer ...

-
A beautiful post about how even if the midst of unanswered prayer, of heartbreak, of turmoil, God is still there: "Hard Times?  How To Hear God's Song Louder Than Any Hard Times" Even if He doesn't fix our problems or do what we thought He "should" do, He's still with us, walking with us through the pain.   (And if you can't find Him or feel His presence anywhere else, remember that He's always in His Word, waiting to meet you there.)

More Gender Nonsense

-
Okay, so about 40% of Americans in a recent survey say that gender isn’t determined at birth.   Hmm? Hmm? … Let me think about that a minute … If I say that a horse isn’t a horse, that it’s really born as an unspecified species and that, if it wants to, it can grow up to be a squirrel or a dog or a cow … does it really change its “horseness”?   If I say that my chromosomes are not human chromosomes but eagle chromosomes, does it make me an eagle?      Does denial or wishful thinking change reality? We can live in denial of reality, but our beliefs don’t change reality. (It’s funny … but living in denial of reality used to be called “crazy.”   Delusional.   Now it’s considered hip and progressive and celebratory.) The thing is … our X or Y chromosomes are not just in our reproductive organs.   They are in every cell of our being, along with the rest of our chromosomes.   And that’s just...

Some Interesting - and Terrifying - Articles About The Virus Pandemic

I'm not gonna say what I believe about all this (other than I totally believe something about this coronavirus pandemic isn't adding up, something's fishy, and that regardless of how it started, it will be used for political purposes, and that all the pieces for the Mark of the Beast and the One World Government are rapidly falling into place), but these are for your consideration ... (Oh, and I just have to say that considering the wide range of possible coronavirus symptoms I've read about - breathing trouble, sore throat, heart trouble, red and swollen spots on toes, blood clots, pink eye, digestive trouble, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of smell or taste, strokes, etc. - it seems very possible to me that this could totally be a man-made virus.  It sounds like the result of a witch's brew, something that can only come from some skilled, man-made tinkering.  Have we ever seen natural respiratory viruses act this way!?!): "Put a 'Made In China' Sticker On...
