“Whoever sacrifices to any god,
except to the Lord alone,
shall be utterly destroyed.”
(Exodus 22:19)
Dear Friends –
Humankind has managed over the centuries to create a voluminous amount of gods to be admired and worshiped, all of which are primarily beneficial to one’s own needs and interests. They have supplanted the respect due Almighty God with material idols of fame, fortune, and power, and the means to those ends usually entail a disregard for His Ways. Ambition can drive the egos of self-centered individuals to achieve desired goals at the expense of ethical and moral codes being completely ignored. The self-made man is driven by a necessity to reach objectives on his own power; he doesn’t need or want any help, especially from an unknown God. Those individuals have never learned of, been educated on, or believed in a heavenly God The Father. And that is the sorry state of affairs for this country, this whole world as a matter of fact, that a true belief in God has become a minority philosophy when it should prevail with dignity. The ignorance of that majority has turned our world into one of chaotic evil with rampant killing, accelerating drug addictions, grotesque lifestyles abolishing His gender designations, and the corruption in all professions where participants now utter blatant lies without consequences. The sacrifices to or worship of self over God, have brought about all this evil dominating, destructive, everyday life.
The nonbelievers in God that generate this pervasive immorality are not intimidated by the fear of eternal damnation as the inevitable consequences of their actions. Their religious ignorance is justified to themselves as a refusal of outmoded dictates; strongly reinforced by the popularity of relativism, which emphasizes and promotes our constitutionally backed freedom of beliefs. Christians are made to tolerate this choice, which is really secondary to the free will choice God instilled in humankind. Consequently, educating these nonbelievers through evangelization becomes more difficult for repentance is necessary for true conversion. Admitting one’s sins and promising to abstain from that behavior in the future is a difficult change to process.
Moments of despair come to us all, but none like that of the sinner who has hit rock bottom and cannot find any redeeming value to their life. They can stay there and die in their hopelessness or willing submit to the tender caring of a Christian friend or pastor. Through our prayers, and with God’s help, they can be made to understand the reality of God and the existence of Gehenna, as Christ labeled hell. The facts are in The Bible, all you have to do is find the right approach to bring this knowledge forth, and diligently hold their hand through the whole process. Your efforts can save a soul from being utterly destroyed… you will share in the joy of their resurrection on their own Easter morn… and your Heavenly Father, being so proud of you will say, “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased”
SHAME ON YOU VLADIMIR PUTIN
The worst manifestation of evil, at the present time, resides in the being of Russian President, Vladimir Putin, whose vicious invasion of neighboring Ukraine is conducted with one atrocity after another; to brutally annihilate a nation of people for the diabolical gain of their land is reprehensible. Accountings are reported of the cruel and torturous methods employed by the Russian soldiers as in the deliberate mutilation of their victims just before they proceed to kill them, and to the sexual assault on females… these beastly men are spurred on by the evil motivation rampant in Russian leadership. The deranged thinking of Putin will not accept the logic of diplomatic efforts to resolve the situation regardless of the irreparable harm done, even to his own people whom he controls and misinforms through a powerful and unscrupulous dictatorship… he is a vile tyrant.
The evil corruption of a soul reaches a point of no return; it is dead. When that happens, God will step in with His final judgment of earned punishment, eternal damnation that can start right here on earth. Putin cannot escape this total ruination once he has breached the supreme creeds of Almighty God, who sets the limits on just how far evil may go; the Devil’s power is not limitless, God has the final word on everything. In the meantime, like The Good Samaritan, we come to the aid of the Ukrainian people as completely as possible, and we pray and pray, that God will aid where we cannot and that He will please expedite the war’s end. If we do not help and pray for the Ukrainian people, we are like the callous example Christ gave of those who do not do for others, do not do for Him.
Putin’s absolute power to engage his country into war is outrageous, and cannot happen elsewhere in democracies that require additional government consent. The rest of the world is certainly learning a lesson on reevaluating future supply and demand with a regime that has proven itself completely untrustworthy… we cannot submit to indebtedness of any kind with evil. Once you make a concession with the Devil, an erosion begins from which there is no recovery, only total destruction. Shame On You, Vladimir Putin, for arrogantly thinking your power absolute… a union of nations has strength against you that your idiocy never comprehended. Your ignorance on the reality and power of Almighty God, The Alpha & Omega, along with the flagrant disregard for His law, will bring about your defeat… evil can NEVER triumph. You took on what you could not accomplish, and you made an evil fool of yourself in the process, SHAME ON YOU!
