Proverbs 26:24-25, “He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.”
It is a true saying that WITHOUT FOLLOWERS EVIL CANNOT SPREAD. My first thoughts take me to the demonic false religions of Roman and Orthodox Catholicism. These two branches of Catholicism comprise 1,620,000,000 human beings (1.39 billion Roman Catholics and 230 million Orthodox Catholics). Sadly, 486 million Roman Catholics exist in Latin America alone, showing the damning power of the biggest religious cult in the world on Hispanics. There is no salvation within the Catholic religion. Catholicism is a prisonhouse of religion.
Be careful dear reader what or who you choose to follow, because it could destroy you. The world is full of beautiful beneficial and ugly deadly things alike. In this world can be found the amazing Gospel of free grace, by which all who believe it are saved. But there are also thousands of false religions that can damn your soul and body to Hell forever, if you are foolish enough to choose to follow them. Without followers evils cannot spread.
When we think of evil, people usually think of Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust. When most people think of evil, they think of John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer. But when I think of evil, I think of Roman Catholicism. When I think of evil, I think of Pensacola Christian College (PCC) and their Lordship Salvation heresy. When I think of evil, I think of the fraudulent Federal Reserve Act, which since 1913 has robbed Americans of their hard-earned wealth, and has caused an epidemic of homelessness due to inflation across the United States.
When I think of evil, I think of Seventh-Day Adventism (SDA) with their hellish heresies of Lordship Salvation and Investigative Judgment. When I think of evil, I think of Bob Jones University (BJU) and their multiple counterfeit Bible revisions, and their lie of Lordship Salvation. Yes, evil abounds around us today in many different forms. The $64,000 questions is: Are you a follower?
Evil can only prevail if it has followers. The tragic reason why the Devil's dangerous lies of Lordship Salvation, False Bibles and Misunderstood Repentance are so popular nowadays is because these Satanic deceptions have gathered many followers. By adopting the Devil's lies of Misunderstand Repentance and Lordship Salvation, Pensacola Christian College is pulling on the same rope as the Devil. By local church (including PCC's Campus Church) promoting and using Ken Ham's toxic Answers-In-Genesis Bible lessons, which are rooted in Lordship Salvation and Misunderstood Repentance, those corrupt churches are helping Satan.
It is a crying shame that so many professed “Christians” today are the worst enemies of Jesus Christ. In truth that are not true Christians, they are churchgoers who have never been born again by faith alone in Christ alone. Anyone who is trying to turn from their sinful ways to get to heaven is still not saved. Such a person must first cease from their own self-righteous works, and rest in Christ alone to be saved (Hebrews 4:10-11). Evil can only prevail if it has followers. Without followers evil cannot spread.
Matthew 20:1-15, “For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?”
I listened to a life-changing sermon today by Pastor Jack Hyles (1925-2001) titled:
Dr. Hyles used the same passage of Scripture that I just quoted to you from Matthew 20:1-15. The men who had worked hard for 11 hours, thought it was UNFAIR when the householder in charge paid the men the same wages who only worked for the last one hour. I can completely understand why they were upset. I'd be upset too! But the Scripture teaches that since it was the householder's land and operation, he had the right to pay whomever he chose, whatever amount he wanted, if they agreed to it. The men who had worked for 11 hours agreed to a certain wage for their time and labor. I love this Scripture passage because it teaches a very important principle—that when we oftentimes think something is totally unfair, is in fact fair.
Jesus said that this parable illustrates Heaven. It doesn't seem fair that a man who gets saved much later in life, and lives like the Devil as a child of God; should be given the same gift of eternal life as a man who gets saved at a young age, and then faithfully serves God his entire life. But we who have been born again by faith alone in Jesus alone, are all saved BY GRACE!
We have all felt at times that God hasn't been fair with us; that we got a raw deal. I've often felt that way. Dr. Hyles said that he felt that way at times. As humans we all tend to feel wronged by God sometimes. But we all receive THE SAME GRACE! Let us all say: “AMAZING GRACE, HOW SWEET THE SOUND, THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME!”
I'm sure that Jacob in the Old Testament thought it was unfair when his beloved wife Rachel died while giving birth to Benjamin. God could have spared her life for Jacob's joy and pleasure, but God allowed his beloved Rachel to perish.
It doesn't seem fair that Lazarus was eating from the rich man's garbage in Luke 16:19-31.
It doesn't seem fair that Moses wasn't permitted by God to enter into the Promised Land, after all the suffering and hard work that he endured to lead the Hebrews for 40 years in the Wilderness. It seems like God was too harsh on Moses, chastising him for striking the rock twice in anger. God told him to smite the rock once, so that water would come forth from it.
I have always thought it was unfair that God killed Uzzah, who steadied the Ark of the Covenant. Uzzah saw it wobbling and reached out his hand to secure the Ark so it wouldn't topple over. God killed him instantly. The lesson is clear—don't mess with God's Word! But was it really necessary to kill the man, depriving him of his entire life?
I could go through the Bible and give you hundreds of similar situations that seem unfair. But dear reader, God is always fair. At some point in everyone's life, we will either place God on trial in our own mind, or else we will just have to blindly trust God's goodness and righteousness. God is incapable of being tempted with or doing evil (James 1:13-14).
Just settle it once and for all that GOD IS GOOD! Did it ever occur to you, that nothing ever occurs to God? God is omniscient (He knows everything). Don't you think God who knows everything does know what you needs? God is omnibenevolent (He is all-loving). Do you think that God who is all-loving doesn't know your need for a wife or husband to love and be loved? We would be wise not to accuse God of being unfair. Don't you think that God knows what is best for you? “Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22b). God is holy! God knows what you need (Matthew 6:6-8).
God is omnipotent (He is all-powerful). If God wanted, He could do anything. Trust Him that the Lord knows what is best for you! God is righteous and just, He is fair. There are some things in life that I have missed, that I would have really liked to have. If I were God, I would have let me have those things. My former wife abandoned and divorced me 19 years ago. I didn't want the divorce in 2006. I have tried since umpteen times to repair my marriage, but my x-wife refuses to reconcile, which is also written in the official divorce document. If I were God, I would have given me a different wife who is loyal and submissive, but the Lord hasn't answered my prayers. I have struggled with loneliness and depression for the past 19 years.
If I were God, I would make sure that every Christian man has a good wife. I would make sure that no righteous man was ever alone without a loving gal by his side, to be his help meet, and be his cheerleader, and be his nurse when he's is sick, and his best buddy. It saddens me to be alone, and to see other Christian men alone. Feminism has ruined women by indoctrinating them to be empowered and rebel against their husbands. The U.S. government has ruined marriage by allowing the sin of divorce. These are perilous times (2nd Timothy 2:1-7).
I have often in my soul said that life is not fair, but I know better than accuse God of being unfair. The Bible teaches that God is holy (1st Peter 1:15-16). God cares about me (1st Peter 5:7-8). God is faithful. God is faithful. 1st Corinthians 1:9, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” Who am I to accuse God of being unfair? Lazarus in the Bible was a righteous man, yet he was eating out of the garbage of a rich man. If I were God, I would have given Lazarus a Smorgasbord of fine dining at a clean well-prepared table. But no, Lazarus was dining from a trash can. But God is good. Oh yes He is.
I was watching a video documentary about the homeless problem in Los Angeles. There are now 70,000 homeless people just in Los Angeles. One man in particular made an impression upon me a couple years ago. In the video the man was searching for food in a dumpster. The other man who was interviewing him, asked him how he felt about having to eat from a dirty dumpster. That poor and homeless man quoted the Holy Bible from Philippians 4:19, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” I was amazed and humbled by what that homeless man has said. I was astonished that instead of being bitter and blaming God for his situation, he praised and thanked God for the food out of a dirty dumpster. Wow! When I saw that, I decided to never forget that poor man's godly Christian spirit. I want to be like that humble man! I certainly don't want to ever have to eat food from a dumpster (There but for the grace of God, go I), but if I do, I will praise and thank God for supplying my needs.
God will be our eternal Judge. Psalms:50:6, “And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.” Life is often unfair, but God is fair! Dear reader, Romans 5:12 teaches that we live in a fallen world because of sin. When Adam sinned, he opened the floodgate of sin and death upon the world. Every human being that has been born since, was born with a sinful nature. We are all sinners by birth and by choice.
Sometimes we suffer because of our own sins. Sometimes we suffer because of the sins of others. The reason why 12,000 homes burned to the ground in California, and so far 24 people are dead (in January of 2025), is because the government failed to prepare. It has been in the news that the governor of California rejected a proposal to use the billions of gallons of run-off rain water for the people. The governor wanted to help the Smelt fish! I agree with President Trump that the governor of California is totally to blame! It is common knowledge in California that their state is prone to fires. Then the mayor of Los Angeles took away $17,000,000 of resources from the fire department. The people of Los Angeles are suffering because of incompetent leadership!
This whole ordeal with the recent forest fires in Los Angeles, compel me to apply the situation to the Gospel. Life is short, Hell is hot and eternity is a long time! The vast majority of humanity are ignoring the reality of death. They are not prepared to meet God. They have never been born again (John 3:1-7). The only way to escape the raging fires of Hell is to be born again by faith alone in the GOOD NEWS (Gospel) of Jesus Christ. Jesus died on a cross to pay for your sins and mine. He was buried. Three days later Jesus bodily resurrected from the dead. Jesus ascended into Heaven and is alive for evermore. Anyone who comes to God by faith as a hell-deserving needy sinner, and receives Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for their sins, believing that Jesus was buried, but then raised up from the dead the third day, is instantly and forever born again.
Trust Him! When God seems unfair, trust Him blindly. Say with afflicted Job in Job 13:15, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.”
Romans 5:12-13, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.”
I heard Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) say on numerous occasions in his preaching, that every week of his ministry for decades he read the entire book or Proverbs. I have often remembered what Brother Hyles said and I try to regularly listen to Alexander Scourby read the Proverbs. Last week I listened twice to the entire book of Proverbs. You can listen to the entire book of Proverbs in just 98 minutes! That's not bad at all. You can listen to the entire King James Bible be read to you in just 75 hours!!! I love that. There's no reason why a child of God cannot hear the entire Bible read several times each year. If you prefer, you can listen to Willard Waggoner instead read the whole inspired King James Bible.
I was thinking today (Did you smell wood burning?). I was trying to think of some Scripture passages appropriate for the California fires, which has so far destroyed over 12,000 homes, and killed 24 people. It is sad and heartbreaking. One dear woman who was 95 years old burned alive in her own home. She was simply too old to escape the raging inferno!
Incompetent Leadership To Blame For Fire Damage
I've heard in the news this week that the governor of California is fully to blame for the disaster, because he knowingly rejected a plan to use billions of gallons of run-off rainwater to accommodate California's desperate need for water. Everything rises and falls on leadership! Anyone who lives in the state of California fully knows that the state is prone to dry seasons, strong San Andreas hurricane-force winds and forest fires. Fires are nothing new to California. Smokey The Bear was right: “Only you can prevent forest fires!”
To add injury to insult, the incompetent mayor of Los Angeles defunded the local fire departments, stripping away $17,000,000 of resources from the fire department. Both the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles should be in prison! Having said that, a Bible passage came to mind today from Proverbs 6:10-11. “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.” When the firemen connected their firehoses to the fire-hydrants, there was no water. The firemen had to shamefully resort to using water from resident's swimming pools to fight the devastating fires. The dear firemen have been fighting against wildfires driven by winds gusting at 100 mph.
The Los Angeles Fires Are Not God's Judgment
Ecclesiastes 9:11, “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”
The Bible teaches that there is such a thing as “luck.” Ecclesiastes 9:11 says that “time and chance happeneth to all.” That means we are all vulnerable to chance. We all heard the old adage: It was the wrong place at the wrong time. Well, that adage is FALSE! Think about it. How can you be in the wrong place at the wrong time? You cannot. If it was the wrong time, then you wouldn't be there! It is possible to be in the right place at the right time. It is also possible to be in the wrong place at the right time. And you could also be in the right place at the wrong time. But you simply cannot be in the wrong place at the wrong time! Please don't forget that.
God is not raining down fire upon Los Angeles. Nor did God judge New Orleans in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on the city. The 9/11 attacks were clearly an Inside Job, which even Rudy Dent (a 32-year retired NYC firefighter) said was an Inside Job that murdered 343 of his firefighter brethren. 9/11 was not God's judgment upon the USA, it was a conspiracy by a subversive faction working within our own high government. Remember, the Bible teaches that our battle as Christians is “against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12b).
California has been prone to forest fires for millenniums. If the local mayor hadn't defunded the fire department of $17,000,000; and if the state's yuppie governor had cared enough to prepare for such emergencies, giving the people the much needed rainwater run-off, then the present calamity wouldn't have happened. This disaster was manmade! The 9/11 attacks were manmade! The Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995 was manmade! God didn't do these things.
We live in a fallen world because of sin in general, so that bad things happen to everyone. If you are driving down the highway at a high speed and your tire suddenly blows out, and your car crashes and you perish, it was an accident. God wasn't judging you! Some superstitious people foolishly think that God is punishing them every time they sneeze.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is a jungle we live in here. Life is a veil of tears.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “The Patient Waiting Of Christ”
Children are innocent, yet they oftentimes suffer with cancer and from other afflictions in this world. I don't think God is fair to let that happen. I have a problem with an omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God allowing little children to be hurt, abused and suffer. Albeit, I am not going to condemn God in my own limited mortal thinking. What saith the Scripture? Isaiah 55:8-9, “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.” Thankfully we don't have to understand God to please Him; we just need to trust Him.
Except Ye Repent, Ye Shall All Likewise Perish
I saw a meme on Facebook asking people to pray for California. It bothers me when tragedy happens, and only then people want to start praying. California is getting what they deserve for being one of the most evil places on earth. Hollywood is a curse upon America—one thousand times worse than Sodom. San Francisco is infamous for their high homosexual population. Los Angeles has completely ignored the cries of 70,000 homeless victims of our covetousness culture of pleasure-seekers, fornicators, abortionists, nudists and blasphemers.
My only prayer for Californians is that they repent to get saved. The proper attitude of a Christian is not that God should destroy the wicked, but that they might come to repentance to be saved (Luke 9:52-56). The world's judgment will come soon enough (Isaiah 13:11). When told about 18 people who died in a local disaster when the wall of Siloam fell, Jesus warned in Luke 13:1-5 that “except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” This Scriptural warning is perfectly applicable today regarding the fires in California. The United States is in big trouble with God! We are guilty are murdering over 63,000,000 babies in the womb by abortion. Abortion is cold-blooded, premeditated, first-degree MURDER!
I humbly am fully convinced that Revelation chapter 18 vividly describes the future total destruction of the United States by a nuclear holocaust. Revelation 18:8-10, “Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.” In just one day death, mourning and famine will come the Bible says.
It all makes perfect sense. If there is a nuclear attack from Russia, China and/or North Korea in the future against the United States, the roads will be unusable. The food will stop coming into the cities. Crime will skyrocket. Just in California this past week, there have been nearly 100 arrests for looting and burglary. Can you imagine? While people's homes are burning to the ground, ungodly thieves are sneaking into those homes to steal what they did not earn. They should be executed on sight.
Can you imagine what would happen in cities across America if there is a nuclear attack? There will be a total breakdown of law and order nationwide. It will become like the old west—everyman for himself. Families will need guns to protect themselves from punks. Families will need to take watch on shifts, warding off bandits, rapists and murderers. I believe it's coming! The Bible foretells that this place, Babylon, will be destroyed in one day, by a calamity which will happen in just one hour! This nation will be annihilated by fire. Revelation 18:8, “Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.” What else could do that except a nuclear attack?
America has sadly become a very wicked place! The Arabs call us: The Great Satan! I would have to agree with them, even though I reject Islam, which is a false religion. We deserve to be called, The Great Satan, for legalizing homosexual marriages in 2015. Sodomy is not okay! God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. If that offends you, good. My intent is never to offend anyone; but rather, to preach the truth. God loves homosexuals, just as He loves all human beings. John 3:16 teaches, FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD (that includes everybody). Jesus died for the vilest of sinners (Romans 5:6-9). He even died for me. God loves you dear reader, and so do I with Christ's love. I just want to be a blessing to help others for God.
By God's grace, I spent eight grateful years at Hyles-Anderson College (1985-1993) preparing to become a pastor. Ironically, by the time I graduated in 1993 I had lost my ambition to become a pastor, but I had a burning desire in my heart to preach THE TRUTH. I worked voluntarily alongside my father at his Rescue Mission in Chicago for the next 8 years, preaching every Sunday. In 2002, I started my website ministry at Jesus-is-Savior.com. It's hard to believe this this coming April 2025 will be my ministry's 23rd year. Praise God! By God's grace I plan to continue. God has given me a passion for writing blogs and articles, to preach THE TRUTH to help others for Jesus Christ. I am feeding His sheep. I have never made a single penny for all my tens of thousands of hours of diligent labor for Christ. My reward is in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-21); my converts being my greatest rewards (Daniel 12:3).
Thank you friend for reading my blogs. To God be the glory. Please feel welcome to email me if you ever have any Bible questions, need some Scriptural advice, or just need a Christian Brother to whom you can vent. I am your servant in Christ. Matthew 23:11, “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” Jesus is precious!!!
Matthew 19:5-10, “And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
Divorce is a very horrible sin. Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) was absolutely right that divorce is a sin that perpetuates for a lifetime. I am sadly the victim of an unwanted divorce. My disloyal former wife selfishly abandoned and divorced me in 2006 at a difficult time in our lives. The old adage is true: Adversely doesn't build character, it reveals one's character.
Consequently, I have reluctantly lived alone for the past 19 years. I was severely rear-ended by a church bus in 1992, which accident permanently misaligned my neck, causing a deteriorating medical condition. In 2004 when my neck pain and stiffness began, I was diagnosed by a neurosurgeon with Cervical Degenerative Disk Disease in 2004. I underwent two major neck surgeries in 2009 and 2010. I was all alone throughout those years. I've never been blessed to find a woman to remarry. I hate divorce and so does God. In filing for divorce, a person is claiming to be a lesser sinner than their spouse, which is hypocrisy. NO ONE has biblical grounds to file for divorce!!! God hates divorce. Jeremiah 3:20, “Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.”
At some point in nearly everyone's marriage, they contemplate getting a divorce. If divorce were illegal in America, as it is in the Philippines (and it should be illegal), I would still be married and we would have worked things out. Jesus foretold in Matthew 24:37-39, “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” We are living in the last days, when people just want to enjoy entertainment, wine and dine, and go from one failed marriage to the next without even trying to work out their marital troubles.
I begged my x-wife through tears in my eyes to please call off the divorce. Her exact cruel words to me were: “No, and I have no remorse, no regrets and no tears!” She never shed a single tear! That was 19 years ago. I forgave her long ago, knowing that God will be her only Judge (Romans 12:19-21). I have had no choice but to move forward with my life, which hasn't been easy. I live with a broken heart. am often reminded of Jesus' precious words in Mark 11:22b, “Have faith in God.” As for me, myself and I, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15).
I have heard some pastors browbeat, scold and preach sermons against the MGTOW movement. That is, Men Going Their Own Way. But as a divorced man who painfully knows what can happen to a married man in the ungodly feminist-biased courts of America, I can say confidently that the MGTOW movement would vanish overnight if divorce were outlawed. The reason why many men are going their own way and refuse to get married anymore, is simply because of the unfair wicked court system that makes it very easy for an unhappy wife to get a divorce. That is pure evil. Nobody should be able to easily quit their marriage vows, abandon their spouse who trusted them to be faithful unto death, and selfishly go their own merry way. That is what my former wife did to me, because the wicked courts empowered her to rebel.
The word “divorce” should never be mentioned in a marriage. Please erase that word from your vocabulary. Divorce has tragically become a $50,000,000,000 per year evil racket in the United States. Covetous lawyers, judges and courts prosper financially from the ruin of your marriage. There are no checks and balances in place to salvage someone's struggling marriage. The entire evil court system is designed to destroy your marriage! That is why the MGTOW movement exists and is growing by leaps and bounds each year. Men are afraid to get married, knowing that if their wife becomes disgruntled a few years into the marriage, she can just call a shady lawyer and get a divorce, taking half of everything that a man owns.
Getting Married Today Comes With Very High Risks
My good ministry friend, Curtis Smale (1965-2022) would have been 60 years old today! Today is January 13th, which is Curtis' birthday. He graduated to Heaven on January 17th, 2022. Over a 5-year period, me and Curtis exchanged 1,500 ministry emails. He was a prolific writer and hated the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation. We were soldiers together for Jesus Christ in the fox holes of social media (2nd Timothy 2:3-4), fighting the good fight of faith (1st Timothy 6:12).
Marriage seems like a really good deal for men in America today.
First, you work hard to get a used woman who’s screwed up her soul emotionally by having sex with 5 to 50 men (The more attractive the woman the higher the number of sex partners. kind of like a used car with and endless supply of mechanical problems that you pay new car Prices for.)
But make sure to give her the best, and faithfulness and adoration.
She thinks she’s perfect: she’s rebellious, angry, and very unsatisfied.
As an added benefit, after the wedding, she doesn’t take care of herself, tries to control your life, is domineering, and is not submissive or feminine.
She is lazy and often doesn’t work outside the home long after the children are able to take care of themselves.
She complains and nags you constantly, manipulates you and controls you and denies you sex, all while you work hard to provide for her and the children (sometimes, not your children) and protect and defend your family.
Then, when your youngest child or your marriage are around 18 years old, her testosterone starts kicking in, and she has lost the flower of youth and wants to prove her sexual attractiveness to herself, so she cheats on you, and has a secret abortion child murder.
Then she takes more than half of everything that you worked for, ends your sex life, destroys you emotionally, and blocks you from seeing your children, all with the approval of society and the courts. (This, in whole or in part, has happened to 15 men I know personally.)
Then she ascends the throne of being a victim of a “horrible marriage” as she laughs and drinks in the afternoon with her girlfriends who have done the same thing.
This sounds like a really good deal to me.
I think I have really done a good job in laying out all of the benefits for men in getting married, here.
I can’t wait to get married.
Do you know any used single women who would be willing to disrespect me and emotionally and financially enslave me to their insanity and emotional demands?
Thanks.
Curtis Smale
Amen and amen! I feel the same way as did my ministry friend, Curtis.
Evil People Will Ruin Your Marriage
And may I kindly warn you—evil people will eagerly destroy your marriage if you are weak and listen to their poisonous snake advice (like the malicious serpent fed toxic lies to Eve). My x-wife's mind was poisoned by a wicked Baptist pastor's meddling wife, and three other feminists who all convinced her to file for divorce to show her empowerment to be free. That is the big lie that feminists feeds to married woman. Feminism is rebellion, which the Bible equates with the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness as the sin of idolatry (1st Samuel 15:23).
Some of the seemingly nicest people can become your marriage's worst enemy if you let them...
BEWARE of people! No marriage can be destroyed from outside forces; it can only be destroyed from within. A wife who is weak-minded and feeble is vulnerable to devils. Humans are notoriously guilty of giving bad advice! When a marriage is struggling, godly women will counsel a wife to go back to her husband; or at a minimum whatever she does, not to file for divorce. Divorce is the cowards way out! The face of a coward is the back of someone's head as they run away from a battle! I have more respect for a harlot on the street, than I do for a professed Christian woman who divorces her husband.
No One Has Biblical Grounds For Divorce
Do you know that Gloria Chapman, the wife of Mark Chapman who murdered John Lennon in 1980, is still married to Mark? Mark and Gloria had only been married for a year, in 1979, and there were police photos on record of Mark beating Gloria. Then Mark flew from Hawaii (where Gloria still lives today in 2025) to Georgia, to borrow a .22 caliber gun from a friend who was a police officer. Then Mark flew to New York and wickedly shot John Lennon five times. Four of the five bullets hit John. The two in his lungs killed him. What a psycho!
Mark later told the parole board that his original plans considered murdering George C. Scott and other celebrities, but Mark chose John because he was the easiest to access in New York. Mark asked John to sign John's latest album, and he did. Then John asked if there was anything that he could do for Mark, and the scumbag murdered him. So sad. Anyway, my point is that even after being abused by her new husband, and even after her husband murdered John Lennon, Gloria stayed faithful to her marriage vows, for which I highly respect her. By the way, Gloria has been a born again Christian for all those years, since she was young. In view of Gloria's honorable faithfulness to her marriage vows, how shameful in comparison are so many Christian wives who abandon and divorce their husbands. Lord willing, if I ever have the privilege to find a Christian woman to remarry, over my dead body will I ever file for divorce.
God Intended Marriage To Be For Life
Divorce should be against the law in every country!!! A marriage is like plywood. You cannot take plywood apart. It is made by taking smaller pieces of wood (or sawdust) and gluing them together under intense heat and pressure in a special big machine. If you try to take a piece of plywood apart, it will splinter into a thousand pieces and be totally ruined and unusable. Likewise, a marriage is formed over years of time, and biological children are born from the union of a man and a woman, and there is no way to take apart that marriage without utterly destroying it! Matthew 19:5, “And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?” The Greek word for “cleave” in this passage means “glued.” In holy matrimony, a man and a woman are glued together in God's sight, never to be separated. Divorce is an abomination in God's sight.
When Eve sinned, she had THREE seemingly good reasons (excuses) for her decision to disobey God and eat the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:1-5). But in every case of humans doing the things they do— it will NEVER be the cited reasons for why they did what they did; the true reason will ALWAYS be that they did what they wanted to do, and used the cited reasons afterward to justify their decision. We all do what we want to do, and then look for excuses to justify our decision. This is the standard human method of operation.
I have noticed that whenever women file for divorce, they provide excuses why they did it, seeking justification in the eyes of others. Only an ungodly fool would agree with her. One woman confided in me that she divorced her husband, because he looked at some smutty images online, and cheated on her with another woman. I stayed quiet to be a gentleman, but I felt like congratulating her that she is so much better than her former husband, a perfect angel no doubt. The truth is that she was condemning her former husband, claiming that he was a bigger sinner (in her self righteous eyes) than she was (Matthew 7:1-5). The Bible teaches that we are all woeful guilty wicked sinners! Divorce is a self-righteous act.
Titus 1:9-14, “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.”
It grieves my heart that Pensacola Christian College, their pathetic Campus Church, and corrupt churches nationwide continue to wickedly bid Godspeed to Ken Ham and his Answers-in-Genesis cesspool of iniquity. ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ต๐ป ๐ญ:๐ญ๐ญ, “๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ต ๐ต๐ถ๐บ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐.” Nobody is born again who trusts in their own efforts to turn away from their sinful bad habits. That is works!
Some people are quick to rebuke me for pointing out the problems in churches today, but it needs to be done! ...
I have been shunned by pastors, received dirty looks from haughty pastor's wives, had insults hurled at me from ignorant church members for many years—for my well-known website ministry in which I take an uncompromising biblical stand against doctrinal, ecclesiastical, and moral error. If the shoe fits, wear it! The vast majority of today's so-called “churches” are spiritually waning (a gradual decrease in magnitude or extent) and wanning (to become pale and sickly). Most Baptist churches today are pathetic!
THE TRUTH offends those who resist it! The folks at Pensacola Christian College (PCC) are pulling on the same rope as the Devil, and so are all the local churches who support and follow their counterfeit plan of salvation, which requires that you first be willing to forsake your sinful bad habits to be saved. PCC and Ken Ham errantly understand this to be Bible "repentance." They are woefully deceived.
There is a BIG difference between a church not being perfect, versus a church that doesn't want to be perfect. These churches that blindly follow the PCC cult, couldn't care less about RIGHT DOCTRINE! They only care about being accepted by PCC. I am not going to bow to some almighty, idolatrous, overgrown for their britches, egotistical religious school who have wickedly added to God's inspired Words (Proverbs 30:5-6).
SHAME on PCC! SHAME on Ken Ham and Answers-in-Genesis! SHAME on any pastor and church who support, go along with, honor, invite or bid Godspeed to infidels' Ken Ham, Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, John Calvin or John Piper, et cetera. These evil men are enemies of the cross of Jesus Christ! They all preach a distorted perverse view of God's simple plan of salvation. If my words offend you friend, then repent of your false religion, get right with God and start caring about THE TRUTH, because RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!
Philippians 4:6-7, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
In 1999, when I was sent by the U.S. Postal Service for maintenance training in Norman, Oklahoma, I was horribly told by a punk security guard to go pray in my hotel room, because someone had allegedly complained that I was talking to myself. He violated my legal rights to freedom of speech and religion.
I had been praying out loud as I walked outside alone, on the designated walking path in a big field, talking to the Lord. It is sad that we live in a faithless world of unbelievers. Had I known about my rights, I wouldn't have felt intimidated, and I would have continued walking and praying out loud; and then called an attorney to start a $5,000,000 lawsuit against the U.S. Postal Service if their thug security guards did something to stop me from praying in public. That was the last time I ever stepped foot into the training center, because I refused to go. This is not communist North Korea! It will always bother me that I ignorantly allowed those bullies to violate my freedom of religion and speech.
In 1999, I didn't know my Bill of Rights. If my life had depended on it, at age 32, I couldn't have told you what the First Amendment was. But in 2002, I finally woke up from my American slumber—I learned about Alex Jones, the New World Order, my Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution), and I started my website ministry to PREACH THE TRUTH!!!
This coming April 2025 will be the 23rd year of my Jesus-is-Savior.com website ministry. To God be all the praise, credit and glory (John 15:5). Jesus is precious! Over the past 22 years I have encountered many enemies along the way, by God's grace I've thankfully led countless lost sinners to Jesus Christ, and I've even made a few friends. My life is the Lord's—good and bad alike—the Lord knew that I would fail Him before I was even conceived, yet He loved me and gave Himself for me on the cross (Romans 5:6-9). ๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ญ๐ฑ:๐ญ๐ฌ, “๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐บ: ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป; ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ ๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น: ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐, ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐บ๐ฒ.”
In the past, I have been horribly accused by foolish laymen and incompetent pastors alike of finding weakness in preachers and of being judgmental toward others; but in reality, for the past 22 years as an evangelist preacher, I have taken a biblical stand against the evildoers. ๐ฃ๐๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ ๐ต๐ฐ:๐ญ๐ฒ, “๐ช๐ต๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฝ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐? ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฝ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐พ๐๐ถ๐๐?” I have honored God with my earnest labors, night and day, faithfully running the course for Jesus Christ. Thank you for reading my blog.
Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
I love the inspired book of Proverbs in the Holy Bible! I don't know about you, but in the past I have said some foolish things that I later wish I hadn't said. One of the many things that I love about God's book of Proverbs for humanity is that much is said about keeping one's mouth shut. Let's face it, we all tend to talk too much. I sometimes wonder if God made us with two ears and one mouth, to teach us that we ought to listen twice as much as we talk. The adage is true: You cannot listen until you are willing to hear.
Lord willing, I will turn 58 years old on March 5th, 2025. I've never been the type of person to make New Years resolutions, but I think it's a good idea to at least have some general ideas about things we'd like to improve each year. One of my goals each new year is to: SIN less, SAY less and SIT less! I learned this great truth from one of my favorite Bible preachers, Pastor Danny Castle, from his life-changing sermon titled: 'If I Could Live 2010 Again.'
Having said that dear reader, here is Alexander Scourby (1913-1985) reading the book of PROVERBS. I encourage you to bookmark this video and listen to it weekly from now on:
Proverbs
I just heard a precious Scripture read from Proverbs 29:10, “The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.” I love that! This is a beautiful snapshot of our dear Savior and Lord, Jesus. The Lord was hated by the bloodthirsty religious Pharisees and unsaved Jews, who were thirsty for His blood. That is, they were trying to murder Him (John 10:33). Yet, our beautiful Savior sought the salvation of their soul. I cannot think of a more appropriate verse to describe our precious Redeemer. After the brute Roman soldiers had spat upon, stripped naked, driven a piercing crown of thorns into His head, beat Him to a pulp and crucified Jesus upon a cross, and further humiliated Him by mocking and taunting Christ as He suffered in excruciating pain on the cross—Jesus uttered the astonishing words: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34b).
Proverbs 29:10, “The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.” We should all learn a divine lesson from this Scripture. That truth is that even when wicked sinners torment, persecute and afflict is in their hatred for Jesus Christ (John 7:7), we ought to emulate our dear Savior's love and wisdom by seeking the salvation of their soul. That is, we should love them unconditionally with God's love. We should keep praying for God to convict their heart and work in their life to bring them to Christ.
We should view the unsaved who afflict us as being broken instead of bad. They don't fully realize what they are doing. What saith the Scripture? 1st Corinthians 2:7-8, “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” Before the Apostle Paul was saved, he was named Saul. As such, he relentlessly persecuted the Christians in his hatred. It is commonly believed that it was Paul (then Saul) who held the garments of the Jews who murdered Stephen in Acts 7. Acts 7:58, “And cast him [Stephen] out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.”
I Was Persecuted For Decades In The Secular Workplace
If you are a born again Christian and you are living separated from this terrible world of sin—the world will persecute you (2nd Timothy 3:12). All my working life, for decades, I had been horribly persecuted in the workplace for my faith. If you are a Christian the whole world is waiting for you to fall. I had my work uniforms stolen twice when I worked as a mechanic. I had nude centerfolds placed on my locker. I found booze bottles in my toolbox. One man spat upon me in the workplace. My equipment that I was responsible to maintain was sabotaged to make extra work for me. One wicked man blocked the urinal and flushed it to flood the entire restroom while I was in there. One ungodly man stole my keys (car, house, et cetera).
Another unsaved man in his hatred for Christ threw a 3-pound sledge hammer at me and thankfully missed. Another man threatened twice to kill me. Thankfully he did it in front of an Operations Supervisor at the U.S. Postal Service when I lived on Guam. I filed an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint because my rights were being violated and I was awarded $42,000 in damages in 2009. The Post Master was terminated for not doing his job. Sometimes you have to fight back or those evil punks would have had me fired, or worse. I led a co-worker to Christ at that job, and two more where I previously worked in Chicago. As a Christian you need to watch your back Jack! Abusive people will do to you whatever you let them do to you. Thankfully, unlike most places in the world today, we do have legal protections in America (unless you are a human being in your mother's womb, then you have no rights).
There is a fine line between faith and foolishness! I once knew a Caucasian young Christian man. He was taking a nap on the back seat on a church bus on Chicago's southside. Am ungodly minority punk gangster opened the rear door and crushed-in the entire side of that Christian young man's face with an aluminum baseball bat, while he was sleeping. The surgeons had to operate for several hours through his nose to reconstruct his left jaw. When I saw that young man with his face all wired shut, I kindly asked him if he called the police to file a report. He said he hadn't and wasn't going to. I was shocked and asked him why. He calmly said, “What would Jesus do?” Dear reader, that guy is a darn fool! By doing nothing he is ensuring that there will be further victims. That was about 35 years ago.
If you are a victim of a crime, you should call the police. God never intended for you to look the other way when a crime has been committed. Sometimes you need to fight back when you are in the right. There is another true adage: You must choose your battles wisely. I couldn't fight every abusive incident, every hurtful word and every injury in my life. In nearly every case it was my word against someone else's who had violated me, and the police or management couldn't do anything since there was no evidence.
Then again, in some cases I did have any evidence of abuse, but wicked managers looked the other way and didn't care, which is why I needed to file an EEO complaint in 2006 against my employer. I was being forced to struggle in a Hostile Work Environment, while a group of punks were having a fun time persecuting, stalking and harassing me, making my life hell on earth. God will also be their Judge.
By the way, just for your information, if you are ever being harassed or victimized by someone, keep a diary of every incident. Write down what happened, what was said, the date, time and place. Even though it will boil down to your word against someone else's, keeping a log of the incidents is powerful evidence if things escalate and the police need to get involved, or a lawyer or you go to court, like I did. I am so glad that I recorded every incident, writing down all the details. And if you are working in the workplace dear reader, you would be wise to learn about YOUR RIGHTS. Join the union if you haven't already, because that protects you. Learn the union book rules well and become an expert on policies, rules and laws which impact you. The old adage is very true: Knowledge is power. And if you are a working man with a family, you should learn all about the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). You are entitled to take time off work, by law, to care for a pregnant wife, sick family members, et cetera.
We all need knowledge and wisdom, especially God's knowledge and wisdom. Someone has said that knowledge is knowing that a tomato is classified as a fruit, but wisdom is knowing not to put tomatoes in a fruit salad. I like that. Knowledge is knowing your rights in the workplace, and your rights as a citizen of the United States. Wisdom is knowing when to stand up for your rights and take the necessary action. People often feel fear and stress in the workplace because they simply don't know how to handle an ongoing bad situation. I didn't learn what my Bill of Rights was until 2001 when I started my Jesus-is-Savior.com website ministry. I was already 34 years old! That is sad. Do you know your Bill of Rights dear friend?
You Have Every Legal Right To Pray Out Loud Publicly
When I went to Norman, Oklahoma, in 1999 for job training, I was walking alone outside the facility on my own time, praying outloud to God as I walked. Two punk security guards approached me and said that a woman complained that there was "a crazy guy outside talking to himself." I was deeply hurt by his rude remark. They wouldn't tell me who the woman was. I had been walking alone on a big field with a walking pathway, and as far as I could tell there was no one else around. I told the guards that perhaps I had been praying, because really it was none of there business. They one thug guard violated my rights (but I didn't know it at the time) when he horribly said: "Why don't you go and pray in your room." I don't like police or security for that very reason, that many of them are abusive and bullies. So I ended my walk and went up to my room.
In hindsight 26 years later, I have often deeply regretted that I didn't know about my Bill of Rights back in 1999, because the first thing I would have done is continue praying outloud while I was walking, just hoping that those two stupid fascist guards did something to me. If they had, I would have had a million dollar lawsuit against the U.S. Postal Service! Folks, this is not communist North Korea. I was 32 years old at the time and ignorant of my rights.
Second, I would have called an attorney right away, to see if I could sue my employer for violating my rights to free speech and religion. You as an American have every legal right and protections to pray outloud in public. Effectively, if you don't stand up for your rights, you don't have any! We've all seen it with cops and security types—when someone gives them a badge and a gun with some authority—they abuse it; they become a fool with a John Wayne attitude, always looking for trouble and eager to bully others with their peon power.
Police Abusive Is Increasing Across America
For this good reason, for years now I have avoided big public events where there is an increased police presence and heightened security. There's just to many ungodly idiots with badges these days! That sadly includes interacting with the local police. When a punk stole my Amazon.com delivered package on May10th, 2024, I called the local sheriff's department. Two young goons came to my residence, looking like punk gang members. The female in particular was covered with ugly multi-colored tattoos all up and down her arms.
I live in West Pensacola, which is considered rural and not part of the official city of Pensacola, even though I'm just 10 minutes from downtown Pensacola. My address still says Pensacola. That's weird. Anyway, the female cop looked like a retarded circus clown! This is American society today, and it's a shameful disgrace. Ladies, please DON'T pollute your God-given fleshly beauty with manmade tattoos. As a normal man, and I can speak for men in general, I love plain old skin on a woman with no markings, butt-lifts, rhinoplasties or plastic surgery. I love a woman without any makeup, and a long dress turns me on more than a miniskirt does. Virtue and chastity are major turn-ons for real men. I digress.
I showed my home video security camera recording to the cops, in which you can clearly see the thief's face. To add insult to injury, when I told the police that Amazon kindly replaced the stolen $30 item free of charge, the cops said even if they did catch the thief, there was nothing that they could do. They said Amazon is the victim now, since they replaced the stolen item. That is so awful! Amazon would have to prosecute the thief. That is so messed up and corrupt! I complained about that to the Sheriff's Office too. I told them no wonder theft is so bad in West Pensacola, when the police are telling victims that there's nothing they can do! This country is getting worse and worse every day.
We All Need God's Wisdom
I could share hundreds more stories with you of disturbing things I've seen and personally experienced in my lifetime. One thing that I've learned is that I desperately need God's wisdom. The inspired King James Bible is our INSTRUCTION BOOK on how to live. The old adage is true: When all else fails, read the instructions. Most people will refuse to read God's Word until their life is in absolute shambles and everything is in chaos! It doesn't have to be that way dear friend. We all wise-up eventually. Wouldn't it be great if we'd wise-up before ruining our lives, and ruining the lives of others?
Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Wisdom is the most important thing in a person's life, next to being born again so you can have eternal life (John 3:1-7). Knowledge can be acquired through learning (books, social media, college), perception (learning from watching others; their mistakes and successes) and experience (what happens directly to us); but wisdom cannot be acquired those ways, it is a gift from God. James 1:5, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” Have you ever asked God to give you wisdom?
I love the book of Proverbs! I just heard another great Scripture from Proverbs 29:20, “Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.” May we all learn to hesitate before speaking. I need to work on this for sure. I live alone without a wife, so when I am in the presence of people, I desire to talk as much as I can. That puts me in a more vulnerable position, so that I need to especially be careful what words leave my mouth. Jesus warned in Matthew 15:19-20, “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.”
The prophet Jeremiah 17:9. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” The human heart should never be trusted. That is Proverbs 3:5-7 exhorts us not to lean upon our own understanding; but rather, we should trust in the Lord, departing from iniquity, and acknowledging Him in all our ways. Jesus said in Mark 11:22b, “Have faith in God.” Every day we should pray for God to give us wisdom. We need wisdom to live. We need wisdom to serve God by leading lost sinners to Christ with the Gospel. Knowledge is useless without wisdom how to apply it.
My favorite Bible verse for many years now has been Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” The Hebrew word for “keep” in this verse is natsar, which means: “to guard, in a good sense (to protect, maintain).” This Scripture means to be on guard always!We must guard what we allow to enter into our heart, and what we choose to dwell upon in our thoughts (our heart), because such things will ultimately affect our behavior. Only a fool harbors hatred, lust, bitterness and anger on a continual basis. Life is too short to live with a burden of hatred.
There are numerous wicked religious people who have deeply hurt me, but I don't hate anyone. I have put them into God's hands for judgment (Romans 12:19-21; Galatians 6:7). Case In point, I loathe arrogant pastors like Marty Herron and Jeff Redlin who get paid sickening 6-digit salaries to corrupt people, who have no regard for the truth of God's inspired Word. Both of the names of contemptible false prophets I just mentioned preach the Satanic falsehood of Lordship Salvation. Jeff Redlin is the incompetent senior pastor of Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College. Look what evil doctrine PCC is teaching today! Pastor Redlin is a fool for bidding Godspeed to doctrines of devils (2nd John 1:11; 1st Timothy 4:1).
I heard Pastor Marty Herron with my own two ears, at the ungodly Harvest Baptist Church on Guam in 2014, tell hundreds of people in his Sunday morning sermon that it is not enough to admit being a sinner to be saved, but (he said) you must also forsake a lifestyle of sinning to get to Heaven. That is blasphemy against the truth of the Gospel! Pastor Herron is personal buddies with infidel Dr. Steve Pettit (the longtime incompetent president of Bob Jones University from 2014 to 2023). These men are evil. Look at the demonic Calvinist Lordship Salvation preached by Steve Pettit. This is exactly what Marty Herron and company teach. Dr. Herron quit as senior pastor of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam in 2018, and is now the horrible incompetent vice president of Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa. These ungodly false prophets will take you to Hell forever with themselves, if you foolishly let them. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!
Dear reader, wisdom is having the courage to expose false teachers and their damnable lies. Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” I fear God. Men who don't care about right doctrine, who choose to merely go along to get along with their corrupt neo-evangelical peers, do not fear God. For if they did fear God, they would heed THE TRUTH even if it meant standing alone as I have done all these many years.
In late 2014, I was banished from attending Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. My great fault was caring enough to befriend the ignorant pastors of Harvest with:
THE TRUTH that Lordship Salvation is a perversion of God's grace
THE TRUTH that the modern English Bible revisions are all corrupt
THE TRUTH that Martin Luther (1483-1546) taught the damnable heresy of Baptismal Regeneration all his life and couldn't have been a born again Christian
THE TRUTH that repentance does not men to forsake a lifestyle of sinning to get to Heaven
Proverbs 12:17, “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.” I TOLD THE TRUTH, for which I was formally called into the church office and falsely accused by the wicked pastors of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam of “causing confusion and divisiveness in the church.” They forbade me to speak THE TRUTH anymore about the aforementioned items. That's like forbidding a bird to fly anymore! That's like forbidding a dog from barking anymore. I was saddened, offended and shocked that I was being told by pastors NOT to TELL THE TRUTH at church. They have much blood on their hands, for rejecting THE TRUTH (Hosea 4:6). My Bible preaching will be avenged by God.
I was the only one who did the right thing at Harvest. I told THE TRUTH, but they wickedly counted me as their enemy (Galatians 4:16). Proverbs 17:13, “Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.” They rewarded me EVIL FOR MY GOOD! The wicked pastors at Pensacola Christian College did the same evil thing to me. As of August 2, 2022 I have been banned in writing from attending Campus Church. PCC and Campus Church have blocked me from even reading their Facebook pages. PCC's evil leaders rewarded EVIL FOR MY GOOD, which means evil shall not depart from PCC's house! Evil will not depart from Marty Herron's house. God's curse is upon these Lordship Salvation heretics! They all threw me under the bus for TELLING THE TRUTH!!!
Proverbs 12:19, “The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.” I have told THE TRUTH that a free grace Gospel is biblical, but Lordship Salvation is a deadly perversion of God's grace. We find biblical proof that Lordship Salvation is false in Matthew 7:21-23. Those people boasted to Christ of having done not just a few, but “many wonderful works.” They also bragged about prophesying (preaching) in Jesus' name wherever they went. They bragged of casting out devils in Jesus' name. They called Jesus “Lord, Lord.” Sadly, they had never been born again. Jesus denounced them, literally calling them WORKERS OF INIQUITY. They failed to do the will of God to be saved, which according to John 6:40 is to BELIEVE ON JESUS. Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born again (John 3:3).
