“The children of this world
are more prudent in dealing with their own generation
than are the children of light.”
(Luke 16:8)
Dear Friends ---
The secular world is quite deft in dealing with its own kind and not always by the politest of manners. Politicians, celebrities, and pundits become users of negativity, sensationalism, and mistruths stretched to the point of deliberate lies to get and maintain their fifteen minutes of fame. This hideous cacophony of immoral behavior permeates the environment with chaos, distrust, and fear polarizing the atmosphere with evil that is ever on the rise to constantly flout goodness to a desired obliteration. And what do God’s children of light, do? Very little, because they find it difficult to adapt to malicious back-stabbing methods required for annihilating evil wrong by its own tactics; treating evil with kindness and mercy will only get you ridiculed, humiliated, abused, or even crucified.
The children of light fear crucifixion, and justifiably so… it is horrible! Physical or spiritual death is hardly desired at any age or at the expense of leaving family behind, and consequently, to willingly follow in Christ’s complete footprints becomes an impossibility for them. These “milk-toast” Christians fail to grasp, crucifixion brings life to the innocent, with evil being conquered to damnation! They see only failure as a humiliating end and they stop there instead of continuing on in faith to the inevitable resurrection from evil. Physical death experienced in fighting evil brings that person to heavenly immortality as exemplified by Christ’s example. Spiritual death experienced in fighting evil brings a child of light to a new earthly existence arranged by God, which will arrive in stages as a new and joyous life begins. Following in Christ’s example of carrying a cross, and being His disciple, will be rewarded by The Father, it’s guaranteed.
The apostles were sure that the return of Jesus Christ would happen in their lifetime, and throughout all the pages of history since, there have been such chaotic times that preachers were sure Christ was returning at any moment and that the end-time was surely near… but never like the current world-wide tribulations has it seemed a possibility. The disciples asked Jesus, “What will be the sign of Your coming and the end of the age?” Jesus replied, “Nations will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matthew 24:3) Are we not in a time of great conflicts… of one power against another power in various realms of existence? Russia unscrupulously lusts after Ukraine, North Korea trying nuclear intimidation with a deranged dictator in control, and China plotting to unseat the USA in power in five years... these three communist countries are brutally anti-God, persecute Christians, and are maniacal evil that must be deterred. The Democrats and Republicans are constantly in opposition, rampant crime is everywhere with illegal immigration bursting through our borders, school boards and parents violently disagree, natural disasters desecrate communities before they can rebuild from the previous one, pandemics are killing, panic stirs when lives of infants are in jeopardy as baby formula and Tylenol disappears, famine is everywhere and aggravated by inflation where survival becomes an everyday struggle, and on and on it goes. And what did God do in the past with those who failed to repent by His warnings? Noah got to build an ark while everyone else kept partying until God’s patience reached its limit and then, in moments, His wrath thundered a downpour to obliterate all. Sodom and Gomorrah got fire and brimstone when God couldn’t stand their wickedness any longer. God has limits!
We start a New Year with resolutions to change bad habits for our benefit. I propose, as His children of light, that we resolve to change our weakness of ineffectually fighting evil; that we equip ourselves with the strength and motivation of Jesus Christ to actively participate in cleansing the world of evil’s domination. If we don’t shine His light and strongly expose evil in a godly manner, darkness will evolve existence to hell on earth… resolve to save yourself by actively saving others.
CANCEL EVIL
Many evils prevail in this current generation, where belief in God is at an all-time low, thus making the teaching of The Gospel more imperative than ever as well as it’s being every Christian’s prime responsibility before God. As Christ was sent to make The Father known, so must the followers of Christ pick up the gauntlet and carry on the job of publicizing God Almighty. In this evangelizing endeavor, Christians will find themselves imitating Christ in so many ways. Our culture is rife with evil that must be canceled, not ignored or tolerated, but obliterated. Abortion is killing… and killing is a mortal sin, so says God, regardless of a majority populous that thinks it’s a woman’s right and a Doctor’s duty… educating the spiritually blind is needed as to WHY God’s law is right in this regard beyond just proclaiming it as His dictate. Understanding cures closed-minds to His truths, a difficult but necessary task for Christians to undertake. The effort expended to stop an abortion will give rise to the birth of another Christian into God’s family, and for that, He will be well-pleased with you, the image of His Son still walking the earth.
Homosexuality now has the strength of numbers to ward off the stigma of shame it once held thus making it by sheer force acceptable existence… NO, NO, NO! It must never be tolerated or accepted by Christians for God specifically said: “You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.” (Lev. 18:22) Majority rule does not make right… definitely not! And certainly not in God’s book!! Just because their evolution to commonplace existence has become their prideful matter of fact, it shows that a very large group of evil sinners does exist who practice immoral behavior, and now, with overt pride! When God says, “You must not…” YOU MUST NOT! He labels homosexuality “an abomination” to further declare His intense disfavor with this perversity. You cannot practice homosexuality in any form and remain a Christian for you are living in a state of continual sin, which will not earn you heaven, only hell.
One of the biggest enablers that promote acceptance of this immoral behavior is made in statements by celebrity icons like Whoopi Goldberg, who uttered on a recent telecast of “The View,” that they (homosexuals) are here to stay, get used to it, and if you don’t like them, stay away from them; after all, “we are all made in the image of God”… and there it is… the biggest misconstrued Biblical truth of all times, that everyone walking this earth is the image of God! NO, NO, NO, that’s a bunch of crap… deceitful Devil speak crap! We have material bodies formed by the genetic makeup handed down to us by our parents, but, our spiritual being is made in the image of God when we are baptized into Christianity, and then, ONLY THEN, will the Holy Spirit enter our being to grow the Christian image that makes us children of God. God placed two perfect individuals, male and female, in the Garden of Eden; however, because they did not obey the one edict He gave them, and they listened to Satanic advice, sin entered the world and the destruction of their perfection began along with banishment from Paradise. God did not place two homosexuals in Eden or humanity would have stopped on day one! Nor did He incline His perfect beings to alcoholism, addictions, abortions… all the negative characteristics of humanity evolved over the years through man’s selfish, sinful, Satanic ways.
So no, Whoopi, we are not all created in the image of God, especially homosexuals who make public by their outings and marriages that they are rebuking God’s ultimatum to live a sinful life of their own choice, for it is definitely NOT of God’s making. In the Presidential debate of 2020, Pete Buttigieg made himself look the victim of biased irrational thinking after VP Mike Pence professed himself against gay marriage. Buttigieg responded that he wished “the Mike Pences of the world would understand that if you’ve got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.” Of course, like most people, Pete has it all wrong… the creator who made him queer, was sinful humanity.
Another co-host on The View, Sunny Hostin, remarked during the homosexual topic that, “Jesus would be the Grand Marshall at the Pride Parade.” This woman, educated in man’s law, displays her total ignorance of God’s law and condemns herself to hell eternal as she manipulates His truths to blaspheme The Holy Spirit, for “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.” (Mark 3:29) Sunny and Whoopi never learned the nitty-gritty truths of God’s laws, which are not His opinions or suggestions, but His LAWS as in, “Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor practicing homosexuals nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Cor. 6:9-10) Obviously, neither one of them ever read Christ’s discourse on, “Whatever comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.” (Mark 7:20) They spew their crap day after day and the non-thinking idiotic public blindly follows the blind, and they will all fall into the eternal pit of fire. Whoopi and Sunny may not realize that God will hold them responsible for using their positions of influence to lead others astray, but He most definitely will… it is one of His most serious verbotens! “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him if a heavy millstone is hung around his neck and he is thrown into the sea.” (Mark 9:42)
Whoopi Goldberg does not have a degree in Theology, Sociology, or Philosophy, in fact, she doesn’t even have a high-school diploma; suffering from dyslexia she found learning so hard she quit school in the ninth grade. She admits to a period of drug addiction, and however long and with what drugs, it’s easy to conclude her reasoning processes deteriorated, particularly when she states on another View telecast, “the Holocaust was about man‘s inhumanity to man, and not about race.” Unable to be dissuaded by the panel that this atrocity was motivated by white supremacy she continued to assert her weird logic that those “involved were two white groups; that this is white people doing it to white people, so y’all going to fight amongst yourselves.” ABC had to suspend her for two weeks because of the outcry; she apologized because she had to, but she needs to be permanently removed for the conceited, erroneous output of vile blather she constantly spews… she is the devil personified… her lies and immorality need to be canceled for she is a maniacal parasite destructive to humanity.
A true Christian doesn’t hate but rather pities poor souls like Whoopi, for “There but for the grace of God, go I,” to borrow John Bradford’s sentiment. The teacher part of me rebels when I hear deliberate evil stupidity egotistically touted as truth, especially when it maligns my Dear God whom I love! When His truths are blatantly misused, (always a devilish tactic) His children must be compelled to rebuke and educate that horrible abuse. Give Whoopi, and her kind, thumbs-down dislikes every time you can, and comment on her disgrace where appropriate; boycott the sponsors and perhaps ABC will get the message and remove her permanently. Any public figure that makes themselves look good at the expense of using God for their personal gain... pity them… their only gain is hell eternal.
