Our lives are hidden with Christ in God

Colossians 3:1-4

Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Here on this solemn day of September 11th, in addition to this remembrance we now add another tragedy to the list.

I did not know Charlie Kirk. I only knew of him.

The tragedy of his assassination is a reminder of the cost of our faith, even here in the USA. Not just the loss of friends and family, but even of life and limb.

People around the world face it every day in some places. The hostility of the world against the truth and those who share it, believe it, and practice it.

The days are truly evil, and we must be vigilant and fully armored.

No one advocates for death, but we are dead already in Christ, so that we may live with Christ. And Paul said it best. To live is Christ, and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21).

My prayers for comfort and peace to his family and all the lives in who he touched for Christ.

Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand. Stand firm then... (Ephesians 6:13-14a)

For, you will stand, because He is able to make you stand. (Romans 14:4)

Come soon Lord Jesus!

Four false Gospels of the end times...

2 Timothy 4: 2-3

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.

And how they already do not tolerate it even now!

The Word is best to use, because He IS the Word. Let the argument be between them and God as it should be. His Spirit is the one that convicts and convinces men.

All are given the free will choice to accept or reject, and all are responsible for that choice, and all reap the consequences of that choice whether good or bad.

Why should I use my words as though I can do anything for anyone else when His are already available and are the best that can be delivered? 🦊 ❤️

It is fast becoming the case, that most have already made the choice, and have closed their ears to the truth, and desire the world all the more.

Shall I fret over something I could never change to begin with? I'll let Him fight the battle instead, and get my grimy hands off of the reigns.

When you deliver the Gospel to others, represent God accurately and truthfully, in gentleness, but once delivered, let them choose on their own, and give them the breathing room and time to consider it and choose.

If they reject, then stop, for you only enrage the person further, and farther away from both you and God. Consider that you may not be the avenue that God uses in their future.

It is not you and God in a tag team match to force a choice they speak just to get you off of their back, and it certainly doesn't represent God or bring Him glory.

And for them in that situation, you have presented a Gospel they want no part of, and who would?

Because it now reeks of you and your imposition instead of the sweet fragrance of Christ. And in that sense you have failed, by presenting a Gospel that is false also, not in detail or fact, but by the context of your overreach and imposition in your delivery.

With that said, I will segue to the topic at hand. 🦊 ❤️

A friend asked me recently about a pastor and church that embraced Universalism. I replied with my thoughts and scripture references in denouncing it as a false gospel. But I thought I might go one step further (or in this case 3 steps further in addition to Universalism).

What follows is a brief analysis of 4 common false gospels in play in these end time days.

There are certainly more out there, like 2 Gospels, one of the original disciples and one of Paul to the Gentiles. I wrote about this in an earlier blog entry two years ago in August of 2023 in [The Error of Two Gospels]. But most of the ones you encounter fall under these 4 in some way or likeness.

So let us take a look at what we find when we look at these examples of "Another Gospel" that are false.

To look at, and recognize the false Gospels, we must first look at the glorious news of the True Gospel.

All Gospels True and False have a perspective by the believer. And only the true Gospel has the correct one. That being God's perspective and His declaration of "one and only one way to the Father through Christ Jesus His Son, God in the flesh".

The True Gospel, declares:

• ALL men are sinners, and fall short of God's Glory. And by that corruption of sin, small or great, are under a penalty of Death.

• That God being Righteous and Just, must judge people according to their sin.

• That, out of love for Man (His creation in His image), God the Father sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for sin, in FULL, no conditions.

• ALL men are under condemnation without the saving Grace and Gift of Christ for their salvation.

This is why it is described as a gift, but it must be received. God will not force Himself upon anyone.

This gift, once received is permanent, irrevocable, and eternal. It is based on a covenant He alone meets the obligations for, and maintains, with nothing on our part being brought to the table to earn it or maintain it.

But not only this, that because He overcame death and rose again immortal, we too at some point will rise with Him immortal also.

And this is that great promise to the believer when we receive the Holy Spirit at our spiritual baptism. It is our promissory and seal unto the full Redemption to come.

Our requirement, if you can call it such, is to make the choice given all to accept Christ, or to reject Christ.

This is called Free-will, which then gives no excuse for anyone. We all face the consequences of this choice whether good or bad.

Acceptance is to believe and have that trusting faith in the Son (Jesus Christ) who was sent by the Father.

Will we immediately stop sinning? No.

(HIS Works) of Sanctification will continue all our lives until our death or rapture.

So what then has changed? Our perspective. Away from ourselves and forward to Him.

We now focus on Him, rather then ourselves. We no longer labor in futility to meet His standards (like the Law), because He already has met them for us. He is victorious when we could not ever be. He is our goal, and He is able to make us reach it.

The Law is not discarded, rather He enables us to keep it, and when we do stumble and fall, He is ready and able to cleanse us and stand us back up on our feet.

We are no longer under bondage of the Law by condemnation, for He has paid for all of our debts, past, present, and future. We overcome by Faith in Him, because He overcame all things.

So now onto the most common False Gospels:

#1. The Prosperity Gospel

Transactional - Genie Lamp / What the Devil Offered Christ / Live your best life now

Perspective: Self-centered, self-willed, self-serving

How this gospel looks and sounds:

1.) If you choose to follow God, He will bless you.
2.) If you have enough faith He will give you the things you need.
3.) The reason you are struggling is because you are not putting God first.

We don't follow God for Blessings, or it makes our relationship a transactional formula.

"If I do _THIS_ then God will give me _THAT_."

• Prayer becomes "deal making" with God.

• Faith becomes a "tool for success".

• The goal of the Christian Life here then, is not Christ, but comfort and possessions.

1 Timothy 6:9-10

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared

by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some

have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

#2. The Legalistic Gospel

Transactional - That believers must gain and maintain their salvation by following rules.

Perspective: Self-centered, self-righteous making the Law their God, Judgmental,
                     works oriented, live in fear and in guilt 

How this gospel looks and sounds:

1.) Telling yourself that God loves you less because you just messed up. (Fear)
2.) I must give _THIS_, and _THAT_ to meet some imposed expectation. (Obligation)
3.) God is distant now because you didn't go to church or missed your Bible reading. (Guilt)
4.) You are a horrible Christian, so be better. (Self Righteous Judgment)

This (FOGS) Fear, Obligation, Guilt, and Self Righteous Judgment, are the four corners of Narcissism by the way, and why so often a Narcissist uses the word for manipulation tactics.

These Believers use God's Law incorrectly, and when they break God's Law they beat themselves up over it, or, when they keep up God's Law for a time, they pride themselves in their self-righteousness.

"If I do _THIS_, then God will love me more."

• Devotion becomes Obligation.

• Freedom becomes Bondage.

• And every stumble is met with shame, rather than Grace.

• The goal of the Christian Life here is, the obligation of rules and shame of failure.

The True Gospel, sees the Law as a guide to lead us back to Christ.

Again on perspective, it is the "cart before the horse", as with the issue of Works.

"Lord, Lord... I did this in your name..."
        But... He never knew you (with a personal saving relationship)

And, they are not our works anyway, but God's works through us, when we allow Him to. Our works, from our will, are meaningless and a waste of opportunity to glorify God.

Good Works do not produce True Faith, rather True Faith will produce Good Works.

Galatians 3:2-3

I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit

by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit,

are you now finishing in the flesh?

#3. The Spiritualist Gospel (Emotional/Therapeutic)

Passive - Using God as a therapist to dull our pain and feel better about ourselves.

    Following God is about improving your self-esteem, happiness, and emotional well-being.

Life is about Self-Fulfilment. Emotion and feelings of the heart take the place of faith.

New-Age comes into play here a lot, as well as other self-deceptions. God is peripheral and

unnecessary. There's no real sin to them, at least not ones that matter to anyone, even to God.

Perspective: Self-centered, self-righteous by making their emotions their God.

How this gospel looks and sounds:

1.) Jesus just wants me to be happy.

2.) God accepts me just as I am.

3.) I know God is moving here, because I really feel His presence.

4.) Just follow your heart.

5.) Be true to yourself.

These phrases are not necessarily an indicator of a false gospel as they can be heard by a believer in legitimate contexts. It is in the frequency of their use and the tilted context that calls out it's falseness.

There is a big difference between "Come as you are" (in humility for salvation) and "He accepts me as I am" (in irreverence and pride) making God an afterthought and an authorized stamp of approval by your own metrics.

It is akin to saying to God, "take it or leave it", for He will surely "Leave it". Or, Speaking on some issue and saying, "See even God agrees with me". It is the context of their perspective about themselves, and not about Jesus as our victory.

"If I feel good about _THIS_, then God must be happy about _THAT_."

        • Prayer becomes those positive and emotional highs, and is falsely linked to being of God.

        • Faith becomes a pursuit of happiness rather than that of Christ, and all that comes with that.

        • The goal of the Christian Life here is then, the addiction to the false comfort of feelings.

It is self-deception in not being accountable and ignoring consequences, which are constantly being kicked down the road like a tin can until finally, payment is due, and your wallet is empty.

Luke 9:23-24

Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me,

he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it,

but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.”

#4. The Universalist Gospel

Passive - Because God is loving, all people will be saved, whether they have faith in Jesus or not.

                New Age is found here as well very often.

Perspective: Self-centered, self-righteous by their own standards.

How this gospel looks and sounds:

1.) All religions say the same thing.

2.) We are all God's Children.

3.) Who am I to question someone else's beliefs.

4.) As long as you're sincere, God will accept you.

5.) Jesus is one way to God, but not the only way.

It confuses God's role as Creator, with that of His role as Savior, Lord, or Judge, and twists God's love into something more generic like Tolerance or fairness.

"If God is really loving, then everyone will be saved in the end."

If you are a sincere, authentic, and basically good person, then it doesn't matter if you believe in Christ specifically or not.

        • They will often make the road to heaven incredibly wide.

        • They will say things like, "All people will find their own way to heaven".

        • They will hardly mention Hell, if at all.

        • They may sound compassionate, nice, and inclusive, and tend to accept all beliefs,
            even those in direct contradiction to the True Gospel.

It blurs the lines of salvation, and many are lost because of it, never having had True Faith in Jesus.

It removes the need for Jesus to have even come and suffered and died and rise again.

It is a deception of reliance on self worth, and it essentially says that you don't need Jesus.

Acts 4:12

Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven

given to men by which we must be saved.

I pray that you find meat in some or all of this to apply to your own walk. There is certainly much more that could be said about these, but the bottom line always seems to come down to the perspective of the 'so-called" believer. Are they looking towards themselves or are they looking toward Christ.

Christ is the only way, and the narrow gate to the Father, and it is only in our faith in Him that we overcome the world, and gain entrance to all the Father has promised us through His Son. We die to ourselves when we accept Christ, so that we may yet live through Him.

Grace and Peace to you all, in our Lord Jesus Christ!

Wear and keep ready your spiritual armor, and having done all to stand, Stand Firm Then...

Chaos is a clock...

I've come to understand Chaos as a Clock ticking away at an ultimate milestone of the end and ruin. And it is not a linear clock by any means. The more chaos abounds, the quicker the end is coming.

The old saying is true, "Burning both ends of the candle, burns out twice as fast".

All the world is divided on everything. Complacency, Unwarranted Entitlement, Hypocrisy, and Pride abound. False Grievance and Fake Outrage stir the pot of that division. Weaponized by the mass insanity and loss of common sense that are the character of the cult of the mob.

The love of many has waxed cold, and the cruelty and lack of regard for natural affection and sanctity of life is easy to see everywhere. Good has been declared evil, and evil cherished as good. The victim is further victimized by the cowardice of Justice, and the protection of the criminal's rights. The infiltrator is treated as though they even have rights.

In all this, the believer holds fast, standing firm against the adversary, drawing the line for God, and shielded by their faith. For the lost, they have no idea what is in store, and likely wouldn't care if they did know.

We stand like Lot, not perfect by any means, but faithful and aware of the implications and the impending doom. Voices in the wilderness of this growing chaos.

Psalm 37:10

Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

We intercede and we pray, yet they turn away. If only they could see, would they change their mind?

And on those that turn away, family, friend, and stranger, it is hard to relegate all responsibility to God for the lost. To realize that the chaff that is burned and blown away could be those we hold dear and thought held us dear also.

This is compounded when living among them in a family structure which is divided.

To have that sorrow shows us to be faithful to the mission, but we cannot linger in that sorrow, since the choice and its consequences belong solely to them to make and to reap from.

We feel the loss and the betrayal, but we do not own the guilt or responsibility.

All is as He has foreseen and He has allowed. All is in His will even when we don't understand the reasons in the here and now, or down the road of time and generations.

To the saved, the promise of peace and life eternal with God in perfection. To the lost, the sureness of life without God and eternal sorrow.

The victory, or the tragedy... A matter of the choice.

Grace and peace to you in our Lord Jesus Christ!

The path forward...

This might be a bit of a rambling with several topics intertwined so bear with me.

I'll start with few things Christ told us in the Word in which He is the embodiment of that Word as it's author.

- He is the way, the truth, and the light, and no one comes to the Father except through Him.

- Do not be deceived, both in your own reckoning, or that by others error or manipulation.

- He is the Rock, the foundation and key stone of our salvation, and it is entirely His finished work that makes it so by His Grace and His Mercy, and our Faith alone in that.

- The path to this salvation is narrow and few find it, as the way to destruction is wide and many will take it to their ruin.

There's a certain security in the path being narrow if you think about it. The walls high on either side without much room to deviate side to side. The way forward is distinctive and clearly defined with light at the end ahead, coming from out of the darkness and gloom behind.

We can not go back. We can not live in the past or be trapped by it. We can not stay in place either, for this is no place to dwell and be complacent. The river of life is never consistently just a leisurely flow but often has torrents of flash flooding and rapids in the form of trials that have intrinsic time limits on them.

To survive, you must move forward. To reach the ultimate goal, you must move forward. To thrive, you must move forward.

To do this, we must work in His strength and not our own, for we are not capable to reach the end without Him. Without Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). He alone is our victory and our overcoming strength by our Faith in Him.

He is our focus.

Matthew 15:18

“But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.”

And thus we are warned about deception.

It comes in many forms and many different strengths, overt and subtle. I venture to say that subtle is the worst kind because it's error creeps in without notice almost. A white lie here, a misrepresentation there, and before you know it your caught in the trap of damaged integrity, maligned character, and questionable honor.

Those fiery darts of the enemy that only our faith can shield us from.

We know from scripture that the Holy Spirit never forces itself upon us, but gently convicts and speaks to us softly to get us to repent (change our mind to the correct choices) and move forward from there.

The adversary on the other hand, that detestable and insidious serpent of old, will not only use Fear, Obligation, and Guilt on us if we let him, but he does it in such a way that we disarm ourselves and buy into his lies and defeat our own selves. This is exactly what he desired and how he gamed his tactics.

What is the source of this defeat? Our own lack of unswerving focus and our loss of faith (belief), or rather our change of belief in his lies rather than the Truth of Christ.

Deception in ANY form or strength is unacceptable and is not a hallmark of a believer, and is certainly not from God.

And understand here that I am not talking about Salvation, as that is a gift, but about the character of a truly believing Christian in their walk and their lifelong sanctification by Christ.

Truth is not just a moral value; it is a fundamental aspect of our faith.

A lie, however small is still a lie. A half truth is still a lie. The misrepresentation of truth is a lie and a deception. Truth and lie do not fellowship, can not mingle.

There is no room in a believers life for deception as a tool. You can not use the enemies weapons and reach a victory.

And if you have to fake it to prove it, then it wasn't ever real to begin with.

Ephesians 4:14

As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming.

Make no mistake. Deception is a poison seed that should be exposed and not ignored, at every instance, before it grows into a toxic weed in the hearts of men.

Throughout Scripture, we see that deceit is not just an act of dishonesty; it is an affront to God’s nature. Our God is a God of truth, and when we practice deceit, we distance ourselves from Him. Deceit and Deception are not compatible with Righteousness, ever.

The Word illustrates God’s perspective on deceit, emphasizing that He values truth, and so should we. As we navigate our faith, let’s remember that honesty is a reflection of our relationship with God and each other.

The Word calls us to pursue truth (Righteousness), recognizing that it builds strong relationships and connects us closer to God.

2 Timothy 2:22

Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

The biblical narrative consistently underscores the seriousness of deception, calling believers to a life of truth and integrity.

The way forward requires us to do so. And once again this is a choice on our part in our focus and our faith.

What is our tolerance, if any, to deception and deceit?

The answer should be NONE!

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon us all in these evil days.

Gutted...

This blog is and was about Christian topics from the start, but today I set aside that prerequisite for a special case of loss.

Saturday we lost a bright star in the effort of animal rescue, and specifically in Fox rescue. Mikayla Raines founder of Save-a-Fox died by suicide due to in large part from internet bullying and abuse.

I've always had great respect and admiration for Mikayla and her work as I know so many others have as well. I only wish she could have dismissed the negative and held on to the numerous positives.

She is survived by her husband Ethan and her daughter Freya. All my love and prayers to you both for comfort and peace in the midst of this unnecessary tragedy, and to all the rescues in your care who will undoubtably feel the loss and absence. The road ahead is long and painful.

Internet cruelty is a serious thing, and the old adage is wrong... Word's can and do hurt more than some will ever know, and I pray most will never have to experience or endure.

Insular...

I have to admit that I have a tendency to be Insular in nature when I am overwhelmed by everything going on around me.

Among the various definitions (mostly negative) for this word "Insular", I chose to use it with the definition that "Insular" can be used to describe a person who is socially isolated and tends to avoid contact with others.

This is a default fallback position for me often, to be in solitude. Sort of a mental "Run for the hills" kind of reaction. A mental version of disappearing into the woods and building a bushcraft shelter of the mind and putting the world aside.

You may have noticed my absence here for a couple months. This would be why. As of late I have had enough, actually too much... And before you ask, this is not about people or any person as source, this is purely a stress response.

I needed a break, a sabbatical as it were, and though I kept up my minimal required contact and maintenance of certain obligations, I have for the most part stepped back from almost everyone.

It's times like these I dive into my Christian Mental Health Song library for headphone therapy. Nothing else will do besides healthy doses of the word also.

On top of this, in the physical realm, the wife and I went through a serious bout of the Common Cold. No it wasn't a flu or covid, just a cold, but a doozy.

So you may ask why am I here now? Well, I have had several friends do a welfare check as it were and I figured I had better at least say I am alive and ease other's distress.

It is good to be wanted and loved. And ultimately Christ is the epitome of that statement.

Not sure what the next blog entry will be about, as like I said in the beginning of this I am not on a schedule for it, but write when moved to, in which even todays entry was prompted by concern.

In His Mercy, in His Grace, in His love! Blessings!

Your brother and fellow-servant of the Most High!

Only Fools Rush In...

Seems only appropriate to speak on the topic of fools today.

Welcome to the second quarter of the year 2025 everyone. And of course that starts with April 1st (April Fools Day).

I will endeavor to balance this post out with a discussion about the wise as well.

Traditionally, April Fools is considered lighthearted and a cause for humor and not to be injurious to any taken by pranks played on the unsuspecting.

This is not the case however all the time. There are those who live to enjoy the suffering of others, who's souls are bereft of compassion, empathy, or honor, who live for the kill and injury they inflict at another's expense. It can occur in the psychological realm, as well as the physical. This day is easily taken as license to go beyond common-sense limits and boundaries of ethics and safety.

Like another day to celebrate Trick or Treat, it is a sad day to be honored by fools so much.

Traditionally, "The Fool" (as a noun) has been used as a reference to an entertainer or a court jester for use to break tensions and introduce comic relief.

"The Fool" (as a noun) also is referenced in some cultures as the effect of random chaos and a trickster motif.

"The Fool" (as an adjective) has been used as a description since ancient times toward those individuals who do not learn or grow character, but in the negative sense as to wickedness and mischief, where they pridefully expound on their arrogance and error. Attempting to force their life of a lie on to everyone else.

Biblically speaking, the nature of a fool is the lack of understanding, lack of desire to understand, and a reactionary impulsiveness, rejecting guidance, disregarding wisdom, in which they make poor choices often with harmful consequences to themselves and those around them. And a big sad part of it is that they will never change from forces outside of themselves. As with anyone, change comes from within.

The "Wise man" is reserved, considers an answer before speaking, sometimes choosing not to speak in discernment. The "Wise man" seeks to learn, is humble enough to know he is a fool as well and is reaching for wisdom and understanding. Self-evaluating and empathic to others (even the fool). He can identify foolish behaviors both in others as well as within himself to correct his course of actions and words to seek and strive towards wisdom in his daily Spiritual journey. If he understands "The Fool" and their nature, he can avoid the pitfalls they fall into. 

As a Christian, we should desire to gain greater insights and develop a life that reflects the wisdom and divine love of God.

Proverbs devotes a large portion of its verses to both fools as compared to the wise man.

I picked two of the many verses about fools for this post.

Proverbs 10:23

Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool,

And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.

Proverbs 27:22

Though you grind a fool in a mortar,

grinding them like grain with a pestle,

you will not remove their folly from them.

The first I chose for the implication of the callousness (insensitive and cruel disregard for others) which embodies the nature of a fool in relation to those around them.

The second I chose for the fact that they usually never change, nor ever care to.

I thought I might also share some quotes about fools and the wise from the secular world that have some profound truths as well about them.

Fools:

“Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?”
    - Obi Wan Kenobi [Star Wars: A new Hope]

“Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who argues with him?”
    - Variation of the above and a general theme of Proverbs on Fools and the Wise

Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.
    - Mark Twain

He who asks, is a fool for 5 minutes, but he who does not ask is a fool forever.
    - Mark Twain

It's easier to fool people, than it is to convince them they have been fooled.
    - Mark Twain

The Wise:

A wise man may look ridiculous in the company of fools.
    - Thomas Fuller

A wise man confesses his wrong, but a fool defends it.
    - Dr Doug Weiss

He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.

    - Jim Eliot

This last one of course applies so richly to that precious gift of salvation we have in our Lord Jesus Christ.

A couple last quotes about "being fooled". Relate more to a self-reflection of an observation of the act of being fooled and a guarding tactic against being fooled.

Sometimes you just have to play the role of a fool
to fool the fool who thinks they are fooling you.
    - Anonymous

There are two ways to be fooled.
One is to believe what isn't true;
the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
    - Soren Keirkegaard

With all this said let us remember this; that the reverence for God is the foundation of true wisdom. Our choice for Christ has made us wiser than we know now, and we will know it in the future.

Let us continue to seek wisdom and understanding in the days and years ahead of us that we have been allotted. Pray for discernment, pray for wisdom, pray for peace. Above all, pray for everything.

Grace and Peace to you in our Lord Jesus Christ, God in the flesh!
