Evangelist John R. Rice Sympathized With The Palestinian People

Here are the compassionate words of Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980), founder of the Sword of the Lord, concerning the theft of Arab homes by the Illuminati-controlled United Nations in 1948:

I have a great deal of sympathy for that spirit of nationalism among Arabs who feel they have been robbed and defrauded and abused and imposed upon and who want back their own land. I can understand that. I think they will never be given back the land that was given Israel by the United Nations in 1948, but I think that provisions must be made for those millions and a third refugees in refugee camps in Jericho, in Amman, in Beirut, in the Gaza strip, and elsewhere. God loves those people and they must have the Gospel.”

SOURCE: Dr. Rice... “Here Are More Questions,” by John R. Rice, p. 315, Sword Of The Lord Publishers (1973)

Amen and amen. Since May of 1948 Israel's horrible leaders have persecuted the Palestinian people, making their daily lives difficult and unbearable. On October 7, 2023 the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel and murdered 1,200 people. Another 200 Jews were taken hostage. The vengeful retaliation by Israel against the people living in Gaza since has been untenable. As of April 7, 2024 Israel has murdered 33,596 innocent people in Palestine.

Kindly said, I do NOT stand with Israel. Just because someone murders one of your loved one's doesn't give you the right or permission to go murder their entire extended family. In fact, you don't have a right to murder even one person! Israel has no right to genocide the Palestinian people. Seventy percent of the 33,596 dead people in Gaza were defenseless women and children. How is that justice? That is vengeance, not justice! If you are okay with Israel slaughtering 33,596 Palestinians, then you are an ungodly monster!

I don't understand so-called “Christian” Zionists who continually demonize the Arabs and whitewash the Jews. Just like Gentiles, so also are Jewish people dirty, guilty, rotten, Hell-deserving sinners (Romans 3:10-23, 6:23; Revelation 20:11-15, 21:8). The Arab people are the descendants of Abraham, just as are the Jews. As Christians we must love everybody with God's unconditional love. No one is right with God who hates anybody. I love Jews and Arabs alike with God's unconditional love. Jesus was willing to die for them all (Romans 5:6-9).

Only Born-Again Jews and Gentiles Are Among “The Chosen”

What saith the Scripture? Romans 2:28-29, For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. The inspired Holy Bible is very clear that someone is NOT A JEW who is only one outwardly. That is, your DNA. Regardless of how “Jewish” your ethnicity may be according to your DNA marker, the Bible says you are not considered a Jew in God's sight unless you're born-again.

We further read in Galatians 3:26-29, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Only those who have been born anew by the Holy Spirit of God are included in Abraham's seed (i.e., part of the heavenly family).

Romans 11:22-23, “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.” That's a big “if.” This promise from God is CONDITIONAL. If a Gentile or Jew refuses to trust in Jesus Christ as personal Savior, then they won't be graffed into the olive tree (God's blessings and salvation). Tragically, 99% of the 7,000,000 Jews living in Israel today still abide in unbelief. They are lost hellbound infidels.

Love The Arab People

One of the things that I love and admire about Dr. John R. Rice is that he had a heart of concern for people. Dr. Rice cared about the displaced and suffering people of Palestine.

The Jews were scattered throughout the world in 70 AD when Rome annihilated Jerusalem. I sincerely believe that the Jews are “God's people.” However, they are not “The Chosen” unless they have faith in Jesus Christ. Throughout the Holy Bible God's promises ALWAYS followed a line of faith. Romans 2:28-29a, For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly...” Jesus plainly warned Nicodemus (a Jew) that “Ye must be born again” to enter into God's Kingdom. It doesn't matter how good or religious you are, Ye must be born again. It doesn't matter how dedicated or loyal you are to a cause, Ye must be born again. It doesn't matter if you are Jewish or Gentile, Ye must be born again. John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

What saith the Scripture? Romans 9:6-7, “Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.” Here again we plainly see that a physical Jew is not necessarily a spiritual Jew. God's promises always followed a line of faith, which we see through the line of Isaac.

It saddens me that most professed Christians today blindly support Israel. I am not on anyone's personal side, I am on the side of truth and righteousness. It is very important that any Bible student differentiate between heathen Jews and saved (born again) Jews. I have shared numerous Scripture passages with you that teach that only saved Jews are of the true seed of Abraham. No Christ-rejecting Jew will ever enter into the Kingdom of God. Faith is the key that unlocks the blessings of God.

Present-Day Israel Is Not The Fulfillment Of Bible Prophecy

Here is some accurate, biblical and gentlemanly commentary from Pastor J. Vernon McGee (1904-1988) concerning why present-day Israel is NOT the fulfillment of Bible prophecy:

“Israel is just like any other nation. Some think they're a little brutal, but my friend, they're on the defense over there, you can be sure of that. And they have to exercise a strong defense system. They're not backing that land in fulfillment of prophecy. They have returned to the land, but they have not yet returned to the Lord. When they return to the Lord there will be blessing. They have not yet done that!

...they went out in 70 A.D. And they actually have never returned to the land according to the Word of God. Now hear me very carefully because this is very important to see. They have returned to the land today, and it's remarkable what has happened over there, but it's not the fulfillment of prophecy, because the prophecy says when they return they'll return TO GOD!”

SOURCE: Pastor J. Vernon McGee; THRU-THE-BIBLE; Hosea 2:19-23 and Hosea 3:4

In his 5-year “THRU-THE-BIBLE” commentary for Hosea 3:5, Dr. McGee stresses the truth that there are more Arab Christians in Israel today than there are Jewish Christians. Hosea 3:5, “Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.” This hasn't happened yet. Millions of Jews have returned to the Holy Land, but they have not returned to God yet.

Upon a return trip to visit Israel, Pastor McGee made the startling comment: “Over there there's no turning to God, at all.” While visiting he saw a big motto in Israel which read: “SCIENCE WILL BRING PEACE TO THIS LAND.” Israel is a Godless nation today! Pastor McGee cites a credible source as saying that there are less than 300 Israelites that are real believers in Israel today. The Russian Catholic Church owns much land in Israel today, as do Greek Orthodox and Muslims. Dr. McGee rightly states:

“We're a nation of biblical ignoramuses! We do not know the Word of God today in this land” (Pastor J. Vernon McGee, 'THRU-THE-BIBLE,' commentary from Hosea 4:1-2)

Hosea 3:5 in the Old Testament evidences the fact that Israel's present return to the land is not the fulfillment of biblical prophecy today. When Jesus Christ returns at His Second Coming, Hosea 3:5 says they will SEEK AND FEAR THE LORD THEIR GOD, and true Israel shall be restored. Click here if you'd like to listen to Pastor J. Vernon McGee's commentary on Hosea.

Would to God that more Christians today would express some sympathy and empathy for their suffering and struggles. You need to understand that their parents and grandparents were driven from their homes at gunpoint. The homes of one million Arabs were robbed from them in 1948 by the military, and given with all their personal possessions to Jewish strangers. If you understand that injustice, then you might be able to grasp why Arabs are willing to die for their cause. If a foreign nation invaded the United States and stole men's homes and all that they owned, we wouldn't just walk away and let the matter go. We'd justly fight to the death for what is ours!

Shame on any child of God who automatically sides with Israel and has zero compassion toward the Palestinian people. Brother John R. Rice cared about the Palestinian people. He saw their suffering and frustration, and he expressed sympathy and empathy for their dilemma. Where are those people supposed to go? They are refugees, militarily displaced since 1948 from their homes. The mainstream newsmedia demonizes Hamas (an estimated group of 21,000 Arab activists). All the Palestinian people want is recognition as a proper nation. They want their own legitimate existence! Can you blame them? Israel wants to keep their foot upon the neck of the Palestinian people, controlling and limiting them to prevent any prosperity. Jewish people are no better than Gentiles. Racism is a horrible sin!

Years ago I saw a caption in a book written by Christian author Salem Kirban (1925-2010). The photo showed a police officer beating a male student with a Billy Club during the college riots during the Vietnam War era. The caption asked the question: What do you see? Do you see a punk getting what he deserves? Or do you see a police officer abusing his authority? If you are a Christian you should see two people who need Jesus Christ. I have never forgotten that image and caption because it is so true. So often we look at situations with a carnal frame of mind, failing to see the great need in people's lives for Jesus Christ as their Savior.

It is sad what is going on in Israel and Gaza today. I cannot “stand with Israel” when they are murdering tens of thousands of innocent people with impunity. That is vengeance not justice!

What Is Heaven Like?

Luke 18:16, “But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”

Kindly, the former pastor of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam told me in 2017 to “ALWAYS SEEK GOD.” That is godly advice, and I love that pastor (God knows my heart); but he doesn't truly know God. That pastor promotes Dr. John MacArthur—a heretic on the blood of Christ and the plan of salvation. I heard that pastor say from his pulpit on a Sunday morning, that: “It's not enough to merely admit you are a sinner to be saved, you must turn away from a lifestyle of sin.” That is NOT the Gospel of free grace! I am not mentioning this to criticize him, but to edify YOU dear reader. Don't be like him, be better than him!

That same pastor uses, sanctions and promotes multiple Bible versions, shewing that he is incompetent to be the pastor of any church. Now he is getting paid a 6-digit salary as Executive Vice President of a messed-up Bible College in Iowa—ruining young people's lives elsewhere—promoting corruptible seed, an accursed gospel, and the reprobate theology of John MacArthur. Does he really “SEEK GOD,” as he advised me? No, he does not; for if he did seek God he would SEEK TRUTH! John 4:24, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” That same senior pastor drove the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam in the ground for nearly 20 years. Today Harvest is a cesspool of ecumenical apostasy, using dozens of fake Bible versions, trusting in a false gospel of Lordship Salvation, and devoid of the truth!

Island Of Guam Becoming A Police State Just Like I Said, Government Control Is The Agenda

Revelation 21:3-4, “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

People foolishly believe a lot of things they see and hear on television (e.g., Oprah Winfrey), or read in a book by a New Age author (e.g., James Praagh), forming unbiblical conclusions that are untrue. May I say, not everything said by Jerry Springer is true! There is much fake news nowadays! I heard President Donald Trump say this week in a press conference that 'The Wall Street Journal' publishes a lot of “FAKE NEWS!” That's no better than Bob Jones University and their “FAKE BIBLES!” Despite all the fake news and theological frauds today, thankfully we have the unchanging Words of God in the KING JAMES BIBLE, teaching us about Heaven (and you can trust the inspired Words of God). What the Bible says is so! To keep the list brief, I have saved Scripture quotations until afterwards, which can can read for yourself.

Here are 40 heart-warming truths about Heaven:All the inhabitants of Heaven are part of a big family (Ephesians 3:15)Heaven is a city measuring 1,500 miles wide, long and high (a cube). That would cover most of the United States and part of Canada and Mexico to fit. All of the saved from all humanity will be there.

1. The city is encompassed by a 216-foot-high wall, made of jasper.
2. 12 entrance gates, 3 on each of the four sides, each made of a single pearl.
3. Heaven has 12 foundations, each of a different precious gem stone.
4. The city is made of pure gold, crystal clear in it's 100% purest form, resembling glass.
5. There's a beautiful river flowing from the throne of God.
6. At the heart of the city is the glittering throne of God.
7. There's a beautiful rainbow around God's throne with every color. Revelation 4:3, “And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”
8. Before the throne of God are four Cherubim beasts who praise God continually.
9. Heaven is a holy city, the house of God the Father. We are going to live in God's home. Amen, amen, amen!
10. Only saved people or angels may enter into Heaven.
11. We'll all be in the city of God and be very pleased to be there.
12. Saints in Heaven know what's going on here on earth, but do not see our sins.
13. Our loved ones in Heaven are awake (Hebrews 12:1 - “witnesses” see and hear something). They're not called “role models,” but “witnesses,” because they are watching us run the race from Heaven).
14. The inhabitants of Heaven see, hear and interact. They have a life, eternal life. They are alive and alert.
15. There are horses in Heaven (Revelation 19:14)
16. Saints in Heaven remember us (Samuel remembered Saul when he returned to pronounce judgment upon him, and Samuel knew what was going on here on earth. They were familiar with one another, nothing was erased; also, see Luke 15:7 - there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels; Luke 16:19-31 - Lazarus and Abraham recognized each other).
17. We will recognize our loved ones in Heaven (Peter, James and John recognized Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration; Saul and Samuel recognized each other; Mary recognized Jesus after He arose from the dead; the disciples recognized Jesus after His death).
18. Our bodily imperfections will be made perfect in Heaven. There are no cripples in Heaven. There are no obese people. There's no wheelchairs. There's no deaf, dumb or blind in Heaven. Philippians 3:21 promises we shall receive a body fashioned like unto the Lords. Jesus ate and drank in His resurrected body. He ascended in the air, defying gravity. The Lord walked through walls, walked on water, spoke and is alive physically somewhere in the universe today (He bodily ascended from the earth in Acts 1:9-11).
19. God is going to be with us. (the worst part about Hell is being separated from God. People in Hell realize what they have missed, and gnash in bitter regret and tears).
20. God Himself will wipe away all tears. No more death. No more pain. No more crying and tears. No more sorrow.
21. There's no night there, no darkness. The Lord's holiness lights the city. There's no need for candles, the sun or flashlights.
22. There will be no more hunger pains. Americans by far don't know what it feels like to have no food, but many people in afflicted parts of Africa do. The saints will thirst and hunger no more. The food and drinks present are strictly for pleasure, without calories.
23. There will be no need for a heating system. The Lord's presence will warm us in Heaven.
24. There are many mansions in Heaven, not cookie-cutter type homes. We will receive individualized mansions and nice homes, depending on our earthly service for Christ, with everything we need and want. Romans 8:32, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” We will have everything we need and desire in Heaven! There are no mortgages in Heaven. No home is ever foreclosed upon.
25. Soulwinners will shine as the brightness of the stars in Heaven forever (Daniel 12:3).
26. We will work in Heaven, serving God day and night. Work is enjoyable in Heaven, in pleasant conditions, without pressure or troublesome co-workers. Only perfect Christians live in Heaven in glorified bodies. In Heaven, the saints are as children; that is, loving, trusting, humble, pure, innocent and pleasant to be around. Jude 1:24, “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” Because of the precious blood of Jesus, the saints have been justified, JUST-IF-I'D never sinned at all. What an awesome God!!!
27. Heaven's gates are never closed. There are no creeps, thieves or shady characters in Heaven. The gates are open all the time. The saints leave their doors unlocked, because there are no locks on their doors, because there is no need for them. Can you imagine how beautiful it will be to live in such a place, that you don't even need locks on your car or home? God is beautiful!
28. There is no crime in Heaven; there is no need for police or detectives.
29. Our loved ones are alive and conscious in Heaven. They will remember and recognize us, and we them.
30. Saints will be as the angels is Heaven, not given in marriage (Matthew 22:30)
31. There won't be any fine print or shady advertising in Heaven. Everything is free!
32. There is no fear in Heaven, because there will be nothing to fear. 1st John 4:18, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
33. There is no night in Heaven, it is always daytime.
34. We won't need to sleep in Heaven. it would be weird to need to sleep with no night.
35. There is rejoicing in Heaven when people get saved.
36. The awesomeness of Heaven is indescribable with human tongue.
37. Heaven is a real, literal, physical, place.
38. Heaven is a wonderful PLACE!!!

John 14:1-3, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

Heaven is a wonderful PLACE!!! Here are but a few precious Scripture passages about Heaven.

Revelation 21:10-27, “And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.”

Revelation 7:15-17, “Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”

Revelation 22:1-6, “And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.”

The most beautiful thing about all of these Scriptures is that, like all Scripture, they are PROMISES from God. The entire Holy Bible is a book of PROMISES from God. Also, please read: Abiding In The Promises Of God.

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)” —Hebrews 10:23

“Remember, you don't know the Bible, until the Bible controls your life. You can memorize every verse in the Bible and not know the Bible, until the Bible controls you, and permeates your thinking. You can know a lot of things about God, but until you walk with God and live with God, and abide in the Lord, then you don't know THE LORD intimately like you should.” —Pastor Ralph “Yankee” Arnold, “They Loved The Praise Of Men More Than The Praise Of God”

Another Hurting Student At Pensacola Christian College

Ephesians 4:30-32, “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”

Here are innumerable negative reviews of Pensacola Christian College (PCC). These reviews are public information. Dear reader, one thing I have learned in my 57 years of life is that PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE LOVED, something that PCC has not learned in the 50 years of their college's existence since 1974. I'll start with my negative review of PCC first, and then share with you innumerable more from their hurting victim students.

As a humble redeemed sinner, I care. I care because God cares (1st Peter 5:7-8), and if you know God as a born-again Christian and spend time walking with Him, then you will love everyone with God's unconditional love too, regardless of their sins and flaws as humans. There is nothing worse than religious snobbery, which is all they know at PCC and their Campus Church cult. The way that we treat people matters. It really does!

As I regularly do, I comb social media for victims of PCC's cult. I don't do it to be mean or malicious, but simply because they have a serious problem at PCC with how they treat people. I know firsthand the religious abuse, hatred and woeful lack of compassion and forgiveness that exists at PCC. As of August 2, 2022, their senior pastor Jeff Redlin has banned me in writing from attending Campus Church, so now we are enemies by his choosing. It didn't matter that I sincerely apologized in 2022 for offending the gods at PCC, they have no room to forgive or permit me to just come back to their so-called “church.” In hindsight, they did me a favor because I have since learned much more about the workings of their authoritarian abusive cult at PCC, where the cult system always comes first but individual people do not matter. People just want to be loved. PCC personifies sinful pride and arrogance.

I found the following criticism of PCC this morning from one of their present female students. For obvious reasons she cannot disclose her real name, or she'll face a clergical firing squad. The details she provides is evidence enough that she is telling the truth. If you don't dot your i's and cross your t's at PCC, walking a very fine line, you will be on the outside looking in before you realized what happened. PCC is a cold-hearted cult of strict rules without any love, compassion or understanding for human beings. PCC lacks proper spiritual leadership.

Beauty Burst (April 2024)

I had many bad experiences at this school but the most recent one was when I woke up late for chapel and my RA [Resident Assistant] came in the room and woke me up, urging me to hurry and she said just throw [on] my clothes and and leave. I ended being written up and getting 10 demerits for being “disrespectful” because the RA's told Student Life on me. (Mind you these girls are my peers and they can easily get me kicked out of school if they wanted to.) I went to Student Life to resolve this, but all the woman did was keep on making excuses for the girls and blaming me saying: “maybe you were feeling a little upset that day?” “Do you think you had the attitude first and that’s why they responded the way they did?” She told me to talk to my RA and ask her about the situation and email her when I did. I ended up emailing her and was ignored after. Nothing was resolved. This is the email I sent:

“I did ask my RA Gracie why I was written up for being disrespectful, and she said it was because I took so long getting ready when they kept asking me to hurry up (even though I took about 15 Minutes or less.) After she told me this false statement, I told her I went to Student Life, and that Student Life explained that she and the other RA wrote me up due to disrespect. She then changed her statement and said it was due to my tone of voice. And when I asked her about the other RA's tone of voice towards me she said, “that’s just how she is.” I don’t think it’s right that I get disrespected by other young women who are supposed to be my examples and leaders, when all I did is confront them concerning their behavior and it leads to a situation seemingly untruthful and unnecessary. I was also told during my Student Life appointment that they said I was taking long to get ready and that’s why another RA came to my room but I don’t believe that’s the case, as she came about 5 minutes after I started
getting ready to converse with her friend.

The situation that occurred this day was that I slept through my alarm (a few minutes past 10 am) and I was late to chapel. My RA Gracie came and woke me up and I rushed to get ready. She told me to get ready as soon as possible. She came in another time a few minutes later telling me to try and be ready in a few minutes. Shortly after the other RA came and they began chatting in my doorway for a few minutes. I was putting my shoes on and was ready to go, when the RA was very rude in her tone of voice and overall demeanor and as well what she said. She said “let’s get going, we’ve been waiting for you let’s go!” She was waving her hands to motion for me to come and seemed very fed up and had an attitude.

So I responded in a normal way, not escalating anything, saying, “I don’t appreciate the way you’re talking to me. I'm an adult too. That is very rude.” She didn’t say a word to me after that but my RA Gracie just replied as we started to head downstairs that she wasn’t being rude. I responded that “it just seems like it.” And neither of them would look me in my eye or explain why that wasn’t the case if it was. This was the situation that occurred that morning. I was very confused to be called to the Student Life concerning this situation because I thought it wasn’t a huge ordeal.”

That was the email and this was just one minor incident that happened last semester. It’s so awful that students have no control or say in these situations. [SOURCE: Google reviews]

Yes, dear student, PCC leadership has some serious issues with their attitudes. Clearly they have a double standard at PCC, one for students and another for staff. I am sorry for the horrible conditions at PCC and that you were clearly mistreated. You trusted them with the best years of your life, and they treat you like crap while taking your money, like they did me as a 54-year-old grandfather in 2021. Sadly, PCC have religious bullies for leaders, who elevate their own bigoted authority over God's authority in the inspired Word of God.

The letter of the law comes before all else, but there is no spirit of the law, which is love. At PCC it's their way or the highway. When your time of the month as a female comes at PCC, you must obtain a doctor's note to miss class or chapel each and every month. That sounds like North Korea to me! What the hell is wrong with PCC leadership? I'll tell you what is wrong, they don't know and walk with God. PCC is a carnal institution with a religious label slapped across the building. RUN FROM THIS PLACE!!!

The Science Of Not Becoming Bitter

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.” Job 33:4

by Dr. Jack Hyles (1926-2001)

“Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me. Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.” Job 33:8-13

The more sincere someone is, the easier it is to become bitter. The more you try to serve God the easier it is to become bitter. Over the years I have found that most of the time it is the Christians who are trying to do the most for God who end up becoming bitter.

Job was such a good man that God bragged on him to the devil. Job was probably the best man who ever lived. He lost his children, his wife, his health, his wealth, and his friends, but he still trusted the Lord. This was not a bad man. He was a great man who had great faith; yet Job became bitter. How could a man of this caliber become bitter?

Let me give you some principles regarding this matter of avoiding bitterness. I will begin by making five statements that will set the stage for the rest of this chapter. These statements may seem strange until you read the next part of the chapter.

1. I do not live by my convictions.
2. I try not to do what I think is best.
3. I often go against my better judgment.
4. I often disagree with God.
5. We may disagree more than we agree.

These may seem like strange statements, but they are the truth in most of our lives, if we will be honest. There are things that seem unfair to me. For example, there are times when I have a tough time understanding how there could be a Hell where people will burn for eternity. There are many things that do not seem fair to me and with which I disagree with God. How do I keep these things from making me bitter?

Let me tell you how God and I settle our differences.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:8-11

Now then, I will tell you my step-by-step procedure. This is truly the formula I use to avoid bitterness. This is the method I follow.

1. I face a decision.
2. I try to figure the right thing to do.

I want to do right. I do disagree with God, but not because I do not care about doing right. I want to do right as much as a man can want to do right. The fact that I disagree with God has nothing to do with not wanting to do right, but it has everything to do with the fact that I see things differently than God sees them. In trying to figure out the right decision to make, I end up in a disagreement with God. So what do I do in these situations?

3. I try to figure what God thinks is the right thing to do.

The best way to do that is to get into the Word of God. God is a God of principles. The Bible is a Book that teaches us what is right, so the best way to find out what is right is to get into the Word of God. This should be done before we form our own opinions.

I go to the Bible and try to find a principle in the Bible that tells me what is right to do. Next, I try to find an illustration that shows me what is right. Notice the story of Jehoshaphat and Ahab. This story teaches a principle of God that we need to follow.

Jehoshaphat was the king of Judah, the southern kingdom, when the wicked king, Ahab, was the king of Israel, the northern kingdom. Jehoshaphat was a good king while Ahab was a wicked king, but they had something in common. Both of them wanted God's people to have Ramoth-in-Gilead. There was a constant fight between the Syrians and Israel for Ramoth-in-Gilead. At one point Syria was too strong for Ahab and Israel as well as for Jehoshaphat and Judah, so Ahab decided to invite Jehoshaphat to talk to him about the possibility of them going in together and recapturing Ramoth in Gilead.

God does not want His people yoking up with heathen people. Ahab was a Baal worshipper; he had led the entire kingdom into pagan worship. Jehoshaphat should never have talked with Ahab because it was a violation of God's Word. Jehoshaphat yielded to the temptation of yoking up with Ahab for this cause. As a result, his son, Jehoram, met Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, and they fell in love with one another. As a result, Athaliah went down to the southern kingdom and corrupted it just as her mother, Jezebel, had done to the northern kingdom. Why? Because a good man had yoked up with a bad man for a good cause.

Whenever I am contacted by the mayor of Hammond for a good cause, I refuse to do it, not because I am not for the cause, but because it goes against what is right according to the Bible. It does not make sense to me, but it is what God commands. My job is not to do what I think seems right, but to do what God says is right. When I disagree with God, I must do what is right even if I do not see it. So many make terrible mistakes because they do what seems right to them rather than what God says is right.

Christians need to know the Word of God for this very reason. We must be familiar enough with God's truth that we are able to find God's opinion on a matter.

4. We often disagree.

You do not have to agree with God to be a good Christian, but you do have to obey what is right. Often God and I will disagree on what is right. What do I do then?

5. Then I go against my better judgment and do what He thinks is best.

This takes me back to my original five statements. Now, perhaps these statements will not seem so strange after all.

(1) I do not live by MY convictions.

(2) I try not to do what I think is best.

(3) I often go against MY better judgment.

(4) I often disagree with God.

(5) We may disagree more than we agree.

Notice where sincere and earnest Christians get in trouble with bitterness.

This is how sincere Christians get bitter. This is their downfall. This is why I contend that those who are trying to do right are in the greatest danger of getting bitter. Let me now show you how this happens to many of us.

1. We say, “What do I think is right?”

This is a seemingly good question. Many Christians spend too much time asking God to lead them to do what is right, instead of just going to the Bible to find out what is right. If the Bible tells you, then you do not need to ask God because God will not lead you to violate what He has said in His Word. Notice why this is a danger.

When you pray, “Lord lead me to do what is right,” you are still leaving the final decision in your hands. You are saying that you are going to decide what God wants you to do instead of letting God decide what you are going to do. Forget what you think is right, and live doing only that what God says is right. What makes sense to you is based on your limited ability to understand situations the way God does. Never trust your own opinions over God's.

2. Then we do it. That is exactly what Satan wants.

A sincere Christian decides to do what he sincerely thinks is right, and that is the beginning of his mistake. Why?

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:6

A Christian who is sincere and wants to do right can turn to his own way as much as the rebel who has no interest whatsoever in doing right. You will get into serious trouble if you reason what is right and what is wrong. There are few decisions you will face in your life that do not have either a direct command or an illustration of what is right in the Word of God. We need to stay in the Word of God so that we can learn what God wants us to do.

We Baptists have our own version of a word of the knowledge. We criticize the Charismatics for their word of knowledge; then we go out and do what we think is right. There is no difference in the two. Sometimes we like to say that God led us to do something, even though it is not what the Bible says is right. Saying that we are following the leadership of the Holy Spirit is dangerous when we ignore what the Bible says about a matter. That is exactly what happened to Eve in the Garden of Eden. She did what seemed right to her rather than what God said to do.

The devil was not trying to get Eve to go his way; he was trying to get her to go her own way. She may have sincerely felt that she was doing what was right, but what she did was sin. Good Christians fall into sin by doing what they think is right.

3. It does not turn out for the best.

We do what we think is right, and it does not turn out well. We wonder why things are not going well in spite of the fact that we are sincerely trying to do what we feel is right. I am concerned by Christians who say God is leading them to do something that is in direct violation of something that is in the Word of God. It has become our excuse for doing what we think is best; yet, in so doing , we do wrong. The result is that things do not turn out well for that Christian who does what he sincerely feels is right. Things never will turn out well when we do what we feel is right rather than what the Bible says is right.

4. We get bitter at God.

This is why sincere Christians get bitter. We go our own way, sincerely, and when it turns out bas, we get bitter. What do we do? We continue doing the same thing. We continue to do what seems right to us, and it continues to go bad. We continue to get more and more bitter. It is amazing the things people say they are “led” to do that are in direct violation to the Word of God. As a result, we get bitter. Notice again what Job said:

“Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me. Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.” Job 33:8-13

Most Christians do wrong, not because they are not sincere about doing right, but because they do not know the Bible well enough to know what the Bible says. As a result, they do what they think is right. When it does not turn out right, they get bitter.

5. We want God to explain His reasoning to us.

“Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.” Job 33:13

God's wisdom is above man's; yet when we see things not turning out right because we have gone our own way, we cannot understand, and we feel like God owes us an explanation. Our way makes sense to us and looks like the right way, but it is in conflict with what God commands. Because our way seems to make sense, we wonder why God will not bless us since we did what was sincerely right in our own minds.

Many times I have had Christians who were not going God's way come to me and ask me why God was allowing things to go so badly in their lives. They were bitter at God because they felt they deserved better since they were sincerely doing what seemed best to them, in spite of the fact that it was in disagreement with God.

6. We get more bitter.

When we do what we think is right, it does not turn out right; yet, most of the time we continue in that pattern because we still do not know God's Word well enough to know what God says is right in a matter. So when things do not turn out right again, we get even more bitter. That pattern continues.

7. We get even more bitter, and on and on.

Whenever we do what we think is best, it is personal humanism. We like to criticize the political humanism of society; yet we do the exact same thing on a personal level. We do what we think seems right because we do not live in the Word of God enough to know what is right. We do what we think is right rather than what God says is right.

The Devil is that one who knows that the quickest way to destroy us is to get us to do what we think is right rather than what the Bible teaches is right. That is humanism.

How To Avoid Bitterness

Now I am going to try to give the formula for preventing ourselves from getting bitter, not only at God, but also at other people.

1. Only one has perfect justice.

Only God has perfect judgment. That means that when we disagree with someone, there is the potential that the other one is right and we are wrong. Since God is the only One who is always right, we must accept the fact that at times of disagreement we may be the one who is wrong. Too often we assume we are right because we are sincere, but others may be just as sincere as we are. We must not hold to much confidence in our own opinions and ideas. We are prone to be wrong.

2. No two people have the same justice.

There are times when others are going to see justice differently than I do, and at those times I must accept the fact that the other person may be right and I may be wrong.

I must remind myself of this all of the time, or else I may get bitter at others when I see justice differently than they do. There are so many times when I am in the position of seeing things differently than another, but I do not want to get bitter. Sometimes we get bitter at even those to whom we are the closest, including the one to whom we are married.

Sincere people need to give others the courtesy of believing that they are sincere when the two of them disagree.

3. I must not expect everyone's justice to reconcile with mine.

I must allow others to see things differently than I see them. My opinion must not be final in my mind. There are many times when others will handle matters differently than I would have handled them, but I must be willing to allow them their differences. I must not insist that their judgment must reconcile with mine.

4. I allow sincere people to differ with me.

There are many good and sincere people who see things differently than I see them. It is important for me to recognize that they may be as sincere as I am about my opinion. Rather than demanding that my opinion is right, I must allow them their opinion, based on their sincerity.

5. God is the only One who always has perfect justice.

6. When we disagree, I trust His justice, not mine.

This is the way that I keep from getting bitter with God. It is the way I keep from getting bitter with those with whom I disagree. This is the science of keeping ourselves from being bitter. You may be sincere, but you better beware of bitterness and do what you ought to do to avoid it.

You may think that you would never get bitter at God, but I have seen it happen to many good and sincere Christians who allowed their opinions to blind themselves to the fact that only God's opinion matters. Many sincere Christians have allowed their usefulness for God to be destroyed by bitterness that could have been avoided.

Job was perhaps the greatest man who ever lived; yet Job became bitter because He questioned God when he could not see things the way God saw them. Use these formulas to prevent bitterness from hurting you.

Our Incredible God

Acts 26:8, “Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?”

There is no God like our God, the God of the Bible, the God of true Israel. In fact, there is no other true and living God. I was admiring some tasty pitted olives with pimento that I was eating. I crave olives every time I read about them in the Old Testament. I also enjoyed some delicious salsa that I bought which is made of tomatoes, onions, some hot peppers, et cetera. I thought, “What if God had never created tomatoes?” Could you imagine if there were no tomatoes? There would be no pizza! There would be no spaghetti sauce. There would be no marinara. There would be no recipes containing tomato sauce! What if God had never created lettuce? There would be no salads?

Do you know that our heart beats an astonishing 100,000 each and every day of our life? It's true. That's 36,000,000 times a year! The human heart beats a shocking 2,500,000,000 times in a 70-year lifetime! Wow! Even when we are sleeping, our heart is still pumping blood faster than once each second. Truly, the human heart is beyond amazing. God is truly incredible and amazing!

Did you know that a rocket must travel at speeds of 25,000 miles per hour to overcome the earth's gravitation forces to leave the planet? That's fast! That would be equivalent to traveling 7 miles in one second. You could travel 100 miles in just 14 seconds! Wow! Scientists have developed a jet plane nowadays that can travel 4,200 miles per hour. They can fly from London to Sydney in just 2-hours. They have unmanned drones that can travel even faster!

God is so awesome! I could mention a thousand different things which all testify of God's existence, His omnipotence (all-powerful), omnibenevolence (all-loving), omniscient (all-knowing) and omnipresence (all-present). Truly, the Lord is greatly to be praised. If you have never received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior dear reader, then I plead with you to do so right now. John 1:12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” I encourage you to watch the following free online documentary, which covers various subjects, all testifying to OUR INCREDIBLE GOD!

God Of Wonders

A Star That Spins Over 1,000,000 MPH!

If you think that is fast, then this will blow your mind away. Astronomers have discovered a star that spins over 1,000,000 miles per hour on its axis. I cannot even comprehend such incredible destructive speeds.

Fastest Ever Spinning Star Found In Nearby Galaxy
SPACE. COM | December 5, 2011

Astronomers have spotted the fastest rotating star yet found — a massive and bright young star located in our neighboring dwarf galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The giant star lies in the Tarantula Nebula, approximately 160,000 light-years away from Earth, and spins 100 times faster than the sun — at a dizzying pace of 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) per hour. The star, officially called VFTS 102, is approaching the point when it will be torn apart by centrifugal forces if it spins any faster, the researchers said.

Based on their observations, the international team of astronomers thinks the star may have had a violent past and was likely ejected from a double-star system when its companion erupted in a supernova explosion. ...

SOURCE: Fastest Ever Spinning Star Found in Nearby Galaxy

The following information from NASA tells us that the star spins so fast that it has become flattened due to centrifugal force. Centrifugal force is the tendency of a spinning object to move in a straight line. This is incredible science, and it testifies of our incredible God Who made it all . . .

The massive, bright young star, called VFTS 102, rotates at a million miles per hour, or 100 times faster than our sun does. Centrifugal forces from this dizzying spin rate have flattened the star into an oblate shape and spun off a disk of hot plasma, seen edge on in this view from a hypothetical planet. The star may have "spun up" by accreting material from a binary companion star. The rapidly evolving companion later exploded as a supernova. The whirling star lies 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

Amazing Facts About Our Universe

I love astronomy. Scientists have determined that there are at least one trillion billion stars (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) and they cannot see far enough into the vast universe to count any higher. By the way, that number I just gave you is one octillion!!! How can anyone deny or even question the Word of God?

There Are More Stars In The Universe Than Sand On Earth, But More Atoms In One Grain Of Sand

Wow! Can you imagine? There are more stars in the universe than all the sand grains of every seashore on earth! If that's not mind-boggling enough, consider that each star of the universe is separated by TRILLIONS of miles. The nearest star to our earth, besides our local sun, is named Alpha Century, which resides a shocking 27,000,000,000,000 miles away!!! That's 4.6 light-years! In other words, if you could travel at the speed of light (which is 186,282 miles per second), it would take you nearly 5-years to reach Alpha Century.

If you were to leave the earth, you would have to travel for 100,000 light years before you'd recognize the Milky Way Solar System. You would have to travel for 10,000,000,000 light years just to get a glimpse of the KNOWN universe. Mankind has yet to discover how big the universe really is, and man never will. Psalms 145:3, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.”

Light travels at a mind-numbing speed of 670,616,629 mph! The Ant Nebula (Mz3) is a planetary 3,000 light years away. It spans one light year across in width, producing streams of charged particles which travel up to 2,000,000 miles per hour. God is incredible!

The much anticipated James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is due for launch in 2018. It will replace the old but wonderful Hubble Space Telescope. The JWST will be 7-times more powerful than Hubble. Lord willing, it will be exciting to see the new images taken with the advanced technology. The new JWST requires an operating temperature of just 7 degrees Fahrenheit above absolute zero. “Absolute Zero” is -459.6 degrees (BELOW zero) Fahrenheit, which is the coldest temperature obtainable. At Absolute Zero everything turns into solids. To say that the JWST is incredibly amazing is an understatement, but it is God Who makes all these incredibly amazing sciences a reality.

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” —Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

The planets of our Solar System are amazingly intriguing: 

1. Mercury's temperature's vary by as much as 1,000 degrees from one side of the sphere to the other.
2. For unknown reasons, Venus is the only planet that rotates the opposite of earth, from east to west. Venus' cloud cover is 140 miles thick. Venus temperatures rise to a shocking 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Venus turns once on its axis every 240 earth days. A year is 32-weeks-long. That's quite amazing!
3. Known as “the red planet,” Mars has seasons, like earth. The largest volcano on Mars is three times higher than Mount Everest on earth.
4. Jupiter is large enough to hold 1,000 earths. It rotates on it's axis once every 10-hours! Wow! Jupiter is composed of hot liquid and gas. Jet Stream winds turn in opposite directions, creating amazing art on the planet's colorful surface. Discovered over 400 years ago, a giant storm has been raging on the surface of Jupiter, with a diameter of twice the size of the United States. The storm rotates once every 6-days.
5. Saturn is half the size of Jupiter. Saturn's rings are composed of thousands of layers of ice and debris.
6. Uranus' polar regions face almost directly into the sun.
7. Neptune in the windiest planet. Winds reach up to 1,500 mph. The planet has 8 known moons. Neptune's surface is hot liquid, with a solid core. The atmosphere is poisonous methane gas.
8. Pluto is so cold that its atmosphere is gel.

It's been estimated that only 2% of our solar system falls within temperatures which can sustain life. The earth's temperature is just right. Even though the moon is the right distance from the sun, there's not enough gravity to hold an atmosphere, nor any water. There are thousands of factors all involved for life to exist. Only God could have made all these conditions happen. There's no place like home on earth! Only a wicked fool would blindly deny the existence and wise hand of an all-powerful Creator!

Since there is intelligent design in creation, it is reasonable to conclude that there must also be an intelligent Creator. I am amazed how many people are willing to believe in the possibility that aliens created mankind, yet those same people refuse to acknowledge the possibility of a divine Creator, God.

God's Incredible Creation is Seen Under a Microscope

Just as incredibly humbling, awesome and breathtaking as looking through the Hubble Space Telescope at the universe, so also is God's omnipotent and omniscient, all-wise, handiwork seen at work under a powerful microscope. If you've never viewed common things in our daily life as seen under a microscope, you're going to be absolutely amazed and awed. Take a look at the trillions of frightening looking creatures that live on our human body, which all serve a useful purpose to keep us healthy. When you die, the only thing that dies is your body (2nd Corinthians 5:8). Your soul and spirit do not die. Albeit, if you die in your sins, God will cast your spirit, soul and a special body (able to tolerate incredible pain without being destroyed) into the Lake of Fire forever.

God's wondrous creation extends far beyond what the human senses can perceive. Scientists Inscribe Entire Bible On Head Of A Pin. God is amazing. Psalms 145:1-4, “I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.”

I encourage you to search online for images taken under a microscope, which testify further of our incredible God.

God's Incredible Power is Seen in Energy

Did you know that the nuclear energy contained in a medium-sized oak tree could power all of the United States for 10-years? It's true. The U.S. consumes 4,500,000,000,000 kilowatts hours of electricity each year. One medium-sized tree would produce 45,000,000,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity if all of its nuclear energy were released.

Mankind hasn't even begun to tap into the incredible energy of which our universe is composed. I am totally convinced that solar energy is the wave of the future. Most people would be totally amazed if they knew how powerful the sun's rays are. I know people who have solar panels on their roof and don't pay a penny for electricity. They save thousands of dollars each year, and in many cases people sell electricity back to the power company. Take a look at this video, where a man with a simple screen from a Rear Projection TV focuses the sun's rays to produce temperatures of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. He melts concrete, glass and steel. Wow!

In this video a young man aligned 5,800 small mirrors to focus on one point, which produces enough heat to set wood on fire instantly. Scientists have fabricated giant magnifying glasses that can literally redirect the sun's heat rays to burn holes through solid thick plates of steel. God is amazing!!! It is wonderful what God has allowed mankind to discover and achieve over the past 200 years. I often think how interesting it would be if I could go back through time to the times of the Egyptians or Babylonians, and could introduce them to the science of magnetism and teach them how motors and generators work based upon the basic principles of magnetism. I would teach them about oil, engines and mechanics.

Did you know that the first Diesel engine was invented in the year 1900 by Robert Diesel and ran on pure peanut oil? Isn't that beautiful? The best fuel in the world is hemp seed oil, which yields the highest amount of power per unit. Did you know that there are male and female plants? God is truly incredible!!! I've always loved that Diesel engines can run on pure vegetable oil, a renewable source of fuel energy.

The incredible world of electricity was right under the nose of mankind for thousands of years, but no one knew how to produce or harness that power. In order for all these convenient, beneficial and practical, inventions to become a reality, there had to first happen the industrial revolution, basic chemistry, basic physics and other basic sciences. If the Lord tarries His return, humanity is going to behold mind-boggling inventions and discoveries in the next 50 years!!! The whole of man's knowledge doubles every 8-years!

If the Lord tarries His return, I believe that in the future solar energy will supply most of mankind's energy needs. We've all enjoyed the intense warmth of the sun on a bright sunny day. At high noon, just an hour under the sun's intense rays can produce bad sunburn. It's the infrared rays that produce the heat we feel from the sun. Ultraviolet ray cannot be felt, but produce the sunburn. The suns produces radiation (gamma rays), and the visible white light spectrum. The brilliant colors of the white light spectrum are produced when the sun's rays are refracted, bent, by particles of moisture, smoke, dust, debris and air itself in the atmosphere.

The sun is an absolute necessity for all life in our solar system, because God made it that way. This is why the Bible calls Jesus the “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”! Malachi 4:2, “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.” Jesus is the sole source of spiritual life. Christ is the foundation of Christianity (1st Corinthians 3:11). Apart from faith in Jesus Christ crucified on the cross for our sins, buried and risen from the dead, there is no salvation nor eternal life (Acts 4:10-12).

Just think if something went wrong and our sun's rays were intensified even the slightest bit... our earth would burn up! Our forests would burn immediately! The earth's oceans would evaporate violently and the consequent storms would be fiercely abundant, merciless and totally destructive. Life would no longer be sustainable upon the earth. The sun is an astonishing distance of 93,000,000 miles away from the earth. If the sun were merely a few million miles closer, our earth's temperatures would rise drastically and could no longer sustain life.

There is no way that anyone with a working brain can reasonably deny the existence of a supernatural Creator Who made the universe. We see incredible INTELLIGENCE in all of creation, and intelligence cannot come from an accidental, chaotic, cataclysmic, Big Bang! We see incredible DESIGN in all of creation, which shouts loud and clear that there is a Creator. To deny God as our Maker is just as foolish as to deny that a complex Swiss watch just happened, without any designer or maker.

The truth is that men love their sins, walking in darkness (John 1:1-12), and hate the light, who is Christ (John 8:12). The latest trend is for the wicked to claim that aliens created mankind, who they say are our gods. Certainly, by very definition God Himself is extraterrestrial (not of the earth), and is an alien, respectively. God doesn't need a spaceship, teleport technology (like on Star Trek), or all the other things which Hollywood has put in our minds concerning monstrous aliens and Martians.

*By the way, the creature designer (H.R. Giger, 1940-2014) of the popular Alien series starring Sigourney Weaver was a devout Satanist. The alien creature is patterned after Baphomet, the horned goat head, Satan. The ram, or goat's head, is a mockery of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

Thousands Of Varieties Of Foods Couldn't Have Just Happened

In a recent episode titled, “How The Earth Was Made” by Walt Disney's H2 (History Channel), the narrator (Mike Rowe) refers to the earth's creation as an “Accidental Aftermath” and a “Cosmic Glitch.” Do you really think it was mere astronomically improbable coincidence that we have a choice to eat between beef, lamb, chicken, pork, lobster, fish (and other varieties) of meat? If there were no divine Maker, then what factor determined that there would be cattle? What factor in the evolutionary process decided that we would have pork? Can you image the world without any of the awesome varieties of fruits, vegetables, meats, spices and foods that we enjoy?

When I enjoy the fresh taste of a flavorful Oscar Meyer bacon sandwich (crispy cooked bacon under higher heat), loaded with fresh crisp lettuce, and Miracle Whip spread on soft white bread (one of my favorite meals), I am reminded how ungrateful the unbelieving world is when they deny the existence of God while eating all of God's delicious foods. We read that God is kind to evil and unthankful people in Luke 6:35, “But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.” As Christian believers God also wants us to be kind to evil and unthankful people, so that we may exemplify our dear Savior to the world.

There are many wicked people who choose to worship Satan as their god in exchange for worldly fortune and fame. The Bible even calls Satan “the god of this world” (2nd Corinthians 4:4), but it was Jesus Who created Lucifer, who became Satan by his own rebellion in Heaven.

It is a sin for anyone to ungratefully enjoy God's delicious foods, breath His clean air, enjoy the warmth of His sun, and all the blessings which God has freely given to us. How do you think God feels when people curse Him and speak evil of Him, while enjoying all His bountiful blessings. The heathen world blames God for man's wars, greed and wickedness. At the same time those critics fail to thank and acknowledge God for all the wonderful fruits, vegetables, meats, spices, milk, water, et cetera. People fail to thank God for the gift of marriage and the enjoyments sacred within a marriage commitment (Hebrews 13:4). God has been so good to all of us, no matter how bad you may think you have it in life. Psalms 145:9, “The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.” Oh, praise the Lord all ye land for His goodness. Praise the Lord all you in the world for His kindness, even to the evil and to the unthankful (Luke 6:35). Don't you dare criticize God for the bad in this world, while totally being oblivious to all the abundant goodness, blessings and benevolence by our holy God. PRAISE YE THE NAME OF THE LORD ALL YE LAND!!!

The Sin Of Being Slow Of Heart To Believe The Holy Scriptures

No wonder Jesus said to the doubting disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:25-26, “Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?” Jesus Himself calls you a fool if you are slow to believe the Bible (all that the prophets have spoken).

The following passage of Scripture is nothing less than totally amazing. We often here that Mary Magdalene came to Christ's empty tomb, but we learn here that other women were with her, including Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other women. Two angels appeared to the group, comforting them by reminding them that the Lord has told them of His crucifixion and resurrection beforehand. Then they returned from the empty tomb as a group and told the eleven apostles and other disciples all that they had seen and heard. The Bible says that their words seemed as fairy tales and THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE THEM! ...

Luke 24:1-11, “Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered his words, And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.”

Can you image Christ's very apostles not believing? None of them believed the women who had been to the empty tomb. Then Peter and John went to the tomb to see for themselves, but they didn't see Jesus at that point. Two of the disciples went walking down the road to Emmaus and Jesus appeared to them, but they didn't recognize Him. Jesus said to them...

Luke 24:25-26, “Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?”

My friend, do you really believe that this awesome world just happened, evolving from a Big Bang? Are you slow to believe the Word of God concerning Jesus, the Christ? Do you accept Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah? You cannot have eternal life unless you receive Christ's payment on the cross for your sins. You must believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, and that He raised up from the dead three days later for your justification (that is, justifying your faith in Him). Jesus foretold while He was alive that He would be crucified and raise up from the dead after three days, AND HE DID!!! Do you believe that?

When Christ arose, He validated the faith of everyone Who had placed their trust in Him. Their faith wasn't in vain. Their faith was justified. If Christ did not raise up from the dead, then is our faith in vain. 1st Corinthians 15:14, “And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.”

Praise God, Jesus is bodily risen! The demonic religious cult of Jehovah's Witnesses errantly teach that Jesus' spirit was resurrected, but not His physical body. In sharp contrast, the Bible says that Jesus raised up from the dead, bodily, and was seen by over 500 brethren at one time (1st Corinthians 15:6). Amen!

Our good Creator offers to all mankind forgiveness, hope and eternal life through faith in Christ Jesus. Matthew 11:28, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

The Goodness Of God Leadeth To Repentance

Thank God! Thank God! Thank God, for He is good! The Bible teaches that a thankful attitude precedes a person coming to Christ to be saved, for if a person refuses to acknowledge God's goodness, they WON'T come to Jesus Christ to be saved...

Romans 1:20-22, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”

When a person comes to Christ for salvation, it is because they have repented, that is, they have seen God's goodness and holiness and have acknowledged that they are an unholy sinner in need of a Savior. This is what the Bible means in Romans 2:4, “Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?” This passage of Scriptures doesn't mean that when God is good to you, that compels you to get saved. The opposite is true. It is God's blessings upon America that have caused us to become spoiled, ungrateful little brats, destroyed by prosperity.

Romans 2:4 means that when we see how wicked we are in comparison to the goodness of our holy God. Romans 2:5, “But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds.” As you just read, the opposite of a repentant heart is a hard and impenitent heart.

The word “goodness” in Romans 2:4 is the Greek word chrēstotēs and means “moral excellence” (that is, God's holiness). The word “impenitent” in Romans 2:5 is the Greek word ametanoētos and means “unrepentant.” The modern dictionary defines “impenitent” as remorseful, but this is NOT the Biblical meaning, as I just showed you. The Biblical meaning of repentance unto life is “a change of mind.” Repentance is changing your mind about your sin (John 3:20) and self-righteous dead works (Hebrews 6:1) which were previously keeping you from coming to Christ to be saved. The man who believes the Gospel has repented.

Hence the Bible is teaching that the person who fails to see God's holiness, consequently also fails to realize their own guilty condition of sin and wickedness. This is what Romans 2:4-5 mean, which is plainly revealed when we examine the Greek. In other words, you cannot get a person saved until you first get them lost (that is, they must realize their lost condition before they will come to Christ to be saved). The most common attribute that we see in unbelievers is that they continually place God on trial by blaming Him, accusing Him, challenging Him and refusing to acknowledge His holiness. The Bible says they are unthankful and their foolish heart is darkened.

Dr. Jack Hyles 100% correctly and Biblically states concerning repentance...

“Repentance is not some little silly, 'I'm sorry.' Repentance is not simply a fear of God. Repentance is not a monk fasting and afflicting his body in a monastery. Repentance is not remorse because of sin's consequences. Repentance is not penance performed before the pope as you kiss his toe... Repentance is not being sorry for what I've done wrong. It is not confessing one's sins to a priest. It is not just conviction of sin. It is not the signing of a pledge of abstinence. Repentance is that thing when you come before God and see yourself as you are, and see Him as he is, and say with Isaiah 'Woe is me, for I am unclean!'” —Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001), a quote from the timeless MP3 sermon, THE GOODNESS OF GOD LEADETH TO REPENTANCE!

Amen and amen!

All you have to do to be saved is believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, receiving His death on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that Christ raised up from the dead, and you will be instantly born-again. Just believe that Jesus did it all for you.
