Man lives on God’s green earth and gets out of bed every day and goes about life enjoying the things that humans do.   Since man enjoys his time on earth; why not give some glory to God?    We all enjoy food, shelter, money, possessions, etc.  God has allowed us to be able to obtain such things.  It is only right that we acknowledge His goodness toward us.  Because if we don’t, we stand the chance of having God take some blessings away from us.
 
Maybe you are a person who have done deeds for the benefit of others; only to have them show no appreciation.  Feels pretty bad, doesn’t it?  Just imagine our Lord and how He must feel because of the unappreciation of man
 
Start showing appreciation for what the Lord has done in your life.  And remember, just because God might have done a good deal for you. His goodness toward man is no proof He is pleased with us.   God does good for people, simply because He can.

Because of fraud, people must watch their social security numbers, driver’s license
number, atm pin number, house titles, get a subscription to life lock, etc.   
For if not, someone will steal their information and commit id theft. John 10.10
 
This crime has placed fear into the hearts of people because they know that they can't just be free of worry.  Fraud is based on dishonesty and it is a sin. Luke 10.30.  
Matt 6.19. Luke 12.39.     People commit fraud because they love money and don't want to work a real job.  1 John 3.4.  1 Tim 6:10, Eph 4.28. 
 
Fraud will continue to plague our world because people will not repent of dishonesty.  Rev 9.21.  So the only thing you can do is just be careful with private information and make sure to read the bible.  John 5.39.
 
On Judgment Day, God will bring all who committed fraud before his great throne. Afterwards, cast them into the lake of fire where they will burn for all eternity. Rev 21.8
 
 If a person makes a lot of money by fraud and loses the soul; what can be given in exchange?  Matt 16.26

​Jesus finished 40 days in the wilderness and he did not eat and drink.  The devil challenged him to turn stones into bread; but Jesus rebuked the devil by saying,
“ man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”  Matt 4.4.    Have you ever considered what this means? 
 
 It is God's wish that everyone lives according to what his word commands and we 
cannot have a relationship with Him unless we do so.   Before we do anything we need to check and see if what we do is according to the word of God.
 
It doesn’t matter if you're going to get married, start a new job, say something, think something, everything should be based on the word of God. People who live by the book are the sons of God for they can give book, chapter and verse, for what is done.
 

  
   If you are like the rest of us, I’m pretty sure you are sick and tried of the war in Ukraine.  
This war has brought nothing good for the world, but it has brought horror, sadness, death,
physical injury, destruction of property and violations of the borders of countries.
Not one good thing can be named that it has done.
 
At least with covid, men learned to use technology like zoom and other virtual ways to conduct
our business.    And with this war, humans get funerals, hospital stays, unemployment, homelessness,
hunger, resentment, thirst for revenge, etc.
 
A President has a moral obligation to make sure any decision he makes, doesn’t destroy the lives
of others.  Be they his citizens or citizens around the globe. A President must respect life because
that is what God expects of him. 
 
The righteous have been asking God to stop this war since it began and God has done certain things,
but He hasn’t stopped it yet. This war is unjust, it should have never started and too many lives have
been lost or ruined.  Someone must pay for that.
 
The earth belongs to Lord God Almighty. It doesn’t belong to world leaders. And God will listen
to the prayers of His saints for they please Him with their daily faithfulness.   
​One day, those responsible will fall by the hand of God. 
 
The faithful must keep praying.  John 9.31.  Gal 6.7.  Psalms 34.4-9. 
 
 
                                
 

He who overcomes shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 
But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters,
and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the
second death.”    Rev 21.7-8
 
Being in hell with Hitler, will be a fact with all who end up there.   But one might say, 
“I’m not that bad of a person, I only told a few lies.”  And maybe that is the case, but as
you read the verse we have introduced, you see no matter what a person does, there is
only one hell and all no matter their evil, all will burn together.   
For there is no floor #1 floor #2 and floor #3 for punishment 
 
Make it your ambition to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, that way you can remain out of
​hell and live for eternity in the comfort and luxury of heaven.  John14.1-5
 
The church here will be glad to help you understand the gospel.
 

​“Any church I attend must meet my standards.  The building must be beautiful, and I won’t accept anything less!”
 
Wow, it’s hard to believe there are people who feel that way.
 
In Matt 5.1-2, we read of Christ making use of a mountain as the backdrop for his teaching of the people. In Luke 9.12, we read of Jesus using a remote wooded area as a place to teach a large gathering of people. In Matt 3.1-3, and Matt 11.7-8, we read of John the Baptist, a great preacher using the woods as the place for people to gather to hear the word of the Lord.   
 
In the places mentioned, we know there were problems with the heat of the sun or rainy chilly weather. There were concerns about sitting on dirty hard surfaces, snakes, ticks, mosquitoes and other outside challenges. Yet these people came. They came because they had concern for the truth and not the place.
 
I wish our building critics would consider these things next time they complain about a meeting location that has running water, bathroom, ac, a roof over people heads. etc.
 
 

 "Why am I here?" You are here because God created you to live on this earth and give glory to him.  Act 17:24-28; Col 3:17; 1 Cor 6:19-20; 1 Cor 10:31                 

"Who is God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit?" These three are the Godhead. Acts 17:29; 
Rom 1:20; Col 2:9.  They are eternal and distinct.  Gen 1:12,26;  Gen 3:22;  Gen 11:7;  Heb 9:14.  John 1:1.  John 8:44. John 17:5.24.  Matt 3:16-17. Matt 28:19.  Eph 4:4-6.  
2 Cor 13:14.        They are one in purpose. John 6:38 John 8:29. John 10:30. John 17:20-22. 
And yet all are God.  1 Cor 8:6.  Mal 2:10.  Isa 44:8.

"What is the soul?"  A person is two parts, the body and the inner, which is the soul.  
Gen 2:7.  Matt 10:28.

"What happens at death?”   At death the soul leaves the body and goes to await the 
Judgment.   Gen 35:18.   Lk 8:54-55.  Eccl 12:7.  Luk 16:19-31.  John 5:28-29.

"Why is there evil in the world?"   There is evil in the world because men desire evil. 
 Psa 14:2-3.  John 3:19-21.  Job 24:14-17.  Pro 4:14-17.
God has given men a choice to choose right or wrong, and most pick wrong.  Matt 7:13-14.  
​Eccl 7:29    

“Can’t you just be happy for me?”    People say, while arguing 
involvement in a matter.     However, to be happy for someone we must be comfortable
with their choice.  Otherwise, it will be our support of that which isn’t approved and
violating our conscience.    Being happy for someone, should cause us to look at the matter
and see if any law is broken.  For example, why be happy for a person who didn’t get caught
cheating on his taxes?    Why be happy for a daughter who is going to move in with a loser
boyfriend who can’t hold a job and has a drinking and drug problem?   
 
People can be involved in sinful things, while asking others to be happy for them.  
​God fearing people cannot honor such a request.  1 Timothy 5:20-22.  
 
We will be happy if sin isn’t made to appear to be respectful.   
 
   
 
    

​Bad behavior in public schools exist because of the loss of morality in the home. When no teaching of what is right is done and enforced by parents; the children will do their own thing.    This may mean they will learn from the wrong kind of people and when that happens it will not be strange to see a student bring a weapon to school.    1 Cor 15:33.    1 Cor 5:6. 
            
In public schools that are bad, there are many frighten teachers, incompetent teachers and thank God, great teachers!   Outside, many stressed parents continue to work two and three jobs in to pay for private school and some parents are up to no good.   
 
But morality must be taught at home and carried by students into the public school system.  
On the other hand, the government must see that schools get the funding and materials that are needed to do the job of educating these young minds of tomorrow.  
 
Man cannot achieve this goal without God, so let us not forget His word as we look into this matter   Isa 1:4-20.     Pro 11:11.     Pro 14:34.  Jonah 3:4-10.      1 Sam 12:24-25.      
Deut 28: 1-68.      Eccl 12:13-14.
 

 
This Church is located on a very busy Ave which has cleaners who daily sweep a three-mile radius of this street.  The cleaners constantly get rid of litter thrown down by the irresponsible. The cleaners do a great job, but in hours litter is present again and the cleaners have to do their job all over again. 
 
I thought about something that the Bible teaches about the blood of Jesus Christ in 1 John 1.7-9
 
 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleans from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
 
The work of the blood is the same as those street cleaners. It keeps the saved person clean from sin. The bad thing is, whenever sin occurs it needs to be cleaned up.

Thank God,  the blood is always on duty.
