TRUTH is a Person–we must hold fast, and draw near to Him as never before. For if not for His shortening these evil days, as in the days of Noah, NO ONE would escape deception. Our love of TRUTH (really, our love for HIM, and nurturing that relationship), is our only HOPE–our lifeline, anchor and refuge. If we know Truth, we will discern counterfeit.

May the Lord keep the Body of Christ, add to her those yet to be saved, retrieving the Lost and strengthening the Bride. May we be faithful to be cleansed by His Word and endure the heat and pressure that will present us without spot or wrinkle to our wonderful Bridegroom.

When I heard Michael Curry preach at the Royal Wedding on love, I was impressed and thought to myself, “there is hope for Chicago.” THEN I found out who he really was and it really frightened me that I was almost taken in by his flowing words and deceived. I realized how easily it is to be deceived and I had been praying that God would protect me from deception. Thank God for answered prayer.

These are not part of Christianity, but agents of Satan!

The Lord is separating the wheats and tares. It is moving quickly. Thank You Father for those who follow after You and not the world view. Keep us strong and firm in the truth of Your Word. In the name of our wonderful Savior Jesus. Amen.

The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy…all the while presenting as one who promises to supply (vs steal), affirm (vs kill), and build (vs destroy). He is a liar and the father of all lies. When Satan delivers on his promises, the results are, from a Kingdom perspective, marked by the precious/holy being defiled, the pure being diluted, and/or what’s right being compromised at least and utterly destroyed at best. I speak from personal experience! I live with the conviction that my choices to turn ever-so-slightly away from Truth over time were ultimately motivated by my own lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. It’s just that simple. While on the path toward the fulfillment of my rebellion, I was under the delusion that I was “having The celebratory time of my life…finally getting what I deserved” after an arduous 26 years of marriage. Once my sin was realized, and all was said and done, the weight of my rebellion stole my peace, killed my marriage, and destroyed my family, my integrity, my witness, my testimony, my sanity, my friendships, my support system, and my ability to do my job. It also proclaimed a message to those around me that submitting to God and His ways is optional, in fact not recommended! This flies in the face of all the years I spent training and disciplining my four sons in the authentic fear and admonition of the Lord. While I ended up divorcing their mother, and marrying the woman I committed adultery with, and while I have good days, the truth is: I forfeited everything of significance, from a Kingdom perspective, all because I chose to take the bait of Satan and reject clear instructions from God’s word. I have some peace today, but nothing close to what I had in my first marriage! I have zero relationships with 2 of my sons, 2 of my daughters in law, my 1 granddaughter, and severely limited relationships with the other 2 sons. I have not been welcome or witness to high school events, college events, multiple graduations, 2 weddings, and the list goes on and on. When I was in adultery and divorced my wife to be with the other woman, I did everything I could to justify my sin, to find scriptures that might soothe my guilty conscience. I twisted and turned my interpretation of verses to support my sin. It was characterized by and still represents the signature of Satan…so much stolen, killed, and destroyed. That’s what I see happening in the “reclaiming Jesus” movement. It breaks the heart of the Father when we move out with what we believe is a good purpose, but one which violates His heart and Word.
