You Don't Have To be Afraid Of God if You Fear Him

Exodus 20:17-21, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.”

I love our text passage of inspired Scripture from the Old Testament book of Exodus. Moses had just received the Ten Commandments of God in stone. I humbly believe that God put His commandments for mankind in stone for a couple reasons:

1. You can break God's commandments, but you cannot bend them. Stone doesn't bend.
2. God's commandments cannot be changed, they are written in stone.

We read in the New Testament...

Romans 3:18-20, “There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”

In Romans chapter two, the Apostle Paul addresses the Jews concerning their efforts to keep the law to merit eternal life. Romans 2:13, “For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” Paul fully knew that no man has ever (nor could ever) perfectly keep God's law to merit Heaven, because we are all wretched guilty sinners, which is what Paul addresses in Romans chapter three. In Romans 2:13, Paul is not teaching that it is possible to earn your way to Heaven by obeying the law, God forbid. No, Paul is simply saying that if you are trying to earn your way to Heaven by keeping the law, then you must perfectly keep all of God's laws, not just some of them (cf., James 2:10).

Now in chapter three, after indicting the entire sinful human race, Paul summarizes his argument in Romans 3:18-20, “There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” NO ONE has ever been justified in the sight of God by keeping the law. Those who foolishly try (Galatians 3:1) have fallen from grace (Galatians 5:4). That is, they have missed the one bus going to Heaven. There is no salvation apart from faith in Jesus.

By nature humans do not fear God. That is why we read in Proverbs 1:7, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” And we also read in Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Only a fool does not fear God. We've seen widespread chaos across the United States in recent years from revolutionary youth void of the fear of God, nor the law of the land. The depraved mind of a criminal knows no boundaries. They do not fear their Creator!

If today's rebellious youth won't fear God, then why should they fear the law? This is the dire consequence of our ungodly government leaders removing the Holy Bible and prayer from America' s classrooms since 1963. Today's generation have no moral compass. They do not look up anymore to fear a holy God to whom we must all give account in eternity (Hebrews 9:27; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Romans 14:10-12; 1st Thessalonians 4:6; Matthew 7:1-5, 12:36; Revelation 20:11-15). PAYDAY SOMEDAY!

In our text Scripture passage from Exodus 20:17-21, we find the Hebrews afraid of God. Moses explained to the people that God was simply showing forth His might (i.e., the thunder, lightning and smoke rising from the mountain) so that they would justly fear Him, so that they wouldn't sin. God is holy and He hates sin.

Unfortunately, the people were afraid of God, which is not what the good Lord intended nor wanted. God created you and me dear friend, and He wants to have sweet fellowship. Jesus is almighty God! The Lord is worthy of our admiration, obedience and love. He certainly doesn't want us to be afraid of Him, but we do absolutely need to fear Him. There is a big difference. We should be afraid when we disobey Him.

One of my favorite Bible verses is Proverbs 28:1, “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Shady people who live sordid lifestyles of breaking the law are paranoid, which is why they are always looking over their shoulder from both the police and other criminals. But the man who does righteously, he can stand firm with the boldness of a courageous lion, having no reason to fear or run.

There is no sweeter peace than to live from one day to the next with a clear conscience. I can live with co-workers wickedly stealing my uniforms at work, but I never stole their uniforms. I can live with wicked neo-evangelical pastors kicking me out of their churches because I TOLD THE TRUTH, but I didn't hurt them. I have been deeply wounded by the cruel words and injurious actions of countless people throughout my life, but I can live knowing that I didn't hurt them, they hurt me. I'd 10,000 times rather become a victim, than to be a perpetrator!

Exodus 20:19-21, “And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.”

I humbly think that the people were being very foolish, exaggerating their concerns. Whenever has the good Lord oppressed or killed anyone for no reason? If you do right, then you have no reason to fear God. Prolific writer Mark Twain wisely said: “If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”

A common tactic that police detectives use to catch criminals is to question them for extended periods of time. You see, if you are lying you'll have to keep telling more lies to hide the truth, which eventually will cause your house of cards to crumble. That is, your lies will be exposed in time. All the police need to do is just keep pressing you with more questions until your fictitious story falls apart. But if you are telling THE TRUTH, they can intensely question you for three days and your story will never change.

By the way, that is one way we know that the different writers of the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) are all telling the truth, because their different accounts vary significantly in numerous places. Some leave out collaborating information altogether. That is because they each wrote from their own perspective, inspired by the Holy Spirit to jot down exactly what God wanted them to record. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God (2nd Timothy 3:16). That is, all Scripture is God-breathed. Jesus said that His Words are Spirit, they are life (John 6:63). I believe the King James Bible is inspired by God, otherwise it was merely inspired by corrupt sinful men and it cannot be trusted. By “inspired” I mean they are God's Words, not man's.

I love something life changing that Pastor Jack Hyles said...

“If you want to never do anything that is terribly wicked, then you never do anything that is slightly wicked.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "Unjust In The Least"

Character is the subconscious doing of right! If you force yourself to do the right thing, it will eventually become your habit. Behind every tragedy in human character was a slow process of wicked thinking. This is why for many years now my favorite Bible verse has been Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” I refuse to hate any human being. I refuse to look at sexual smut on my computer. I refuse to give the Devil an inch, lest he take a foot and become a ruler! Satan is so clever, subtle and suave.

Exodus 20:19-21, “And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.” God wasn't trying to drive the Hebrew people away from Him in fear, the dear Lord was trying to instill in them a healthy fear of sin. Do you know why the people were afraid of God? There is only one reasonable conclusion, which is simply because they intended to continue living in sin. They felt that they couldn't keep the Lord's commandments for them.

Dear reader, if you live an upright life, then you have no justifiable reason to fear God. Hebrews 10:31, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” I admit that I feel some apprehension about death, not knowing what to expect, but I have peace and full confidence in my blessed God, Savior, Friend and Lord. I feel peace because I have been born again through faith alone in the 'GOOD NEWS' (Gospel) of the Lord Jesus Christ who was crucified for my sins, buried and bodily resurrected the third day (1st Corinthians 15:1-6). That is my only hope for forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

God knows who's trying and who's not to live right. I speak to the saints. If you are not saved, then God's wrath rests upon your head (John 3:18, 36; 5:40). Please don't perish to die in your sins dear reader, because the dire consequences are irreversible and everlasting (John 8:24; Revelation 21:8). The redeemed saints all die in the Lord (Revelation 14:13).

I enjoy living from day to day with the sweet confidence and peace of knowing that I am right with God—both POSITIONALLY as His redeemed child by faith (Romans 4:4-7; 1st John 1:6-10); and CONDITIONALLY on a daily basis, as I walk by faith (2nd Corinthians 5:7). We live the Christian life the same way we got saved, which is BY FAITH alone (Galatians 2:20-21).

Dear reader, if you live in the fear of God, so that you receive His only begotten Son as your personal Savior; and then as God's child you try with the indwelling Holy Spirit's help to live right (i.e., to love God and love your neighbour as thyself) from moment to moment, then you can and should enjoy the sweet peace of knowing that your heavenly Father is pleased with you. God only asks that you don't give up and keep trying in His grace to do better. Remember, as saints we grow in grace, not in strength (2nd Peter 3:18).

The faithful Lord fully understands that we are merely made from the dust of the earth. Psalms 103:14, “For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.” By the way, this was the favorite Bible passage of Pastor Jack Hyles' godly mother, Mattie Coystal Hyles (1887-1984). I cannot think of a better life's Bible verse for any child of God. God only has sinful dust to work with.

When God gave His inspired Words (“settled in heaven” - Psalms 119:89) to humanity, he took sinful men and made them holy. 2nd Peter 1:21, “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” Don't anyone dare try to convince me that the King James Bible is imperfect and not inspired by God almighty. Get thee behind me, Satan!

The Creator of the universe was not so inept that He couldn't preserve His perfectly inspired Words to all generations (Psalms 119:140). I refuse to believe that a 90 year old grandmother needs to become a Greek and Hebrew scholar to understand the inspired Holy Bible!

Dear reader, you don't need to be afraid of God, unless you are striving against your Maker. Isaiah 45:9, “Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?” Matthew 10:28, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” If you have been born again, then you have peace with God POSITIONALLY. Romans 5:1, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

In the Bible, when a father was pleased with his child, he looked upon him proudly. But when a child did shamefully, the father turned away His face in disapproval. This explains Psalms 27:8-9, “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.” This explains Psalms 88:14, “LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?” If as God's children we are right with Him CONDITIONALLY, then the Lord's face will be toward us.

I want God's face toward me. I do fear God. I don't want to hurt, cheat or upset any other human being. I am far from perfect, but I want to be pleasing to God, the purpose for which we were all created (Revelation 4:11). I am a crooked stick, but thankfully God will still make use of a crooked stick if it is yielded to Him, as was Samson in the Old Testament and Peter in the New Testament. These weren't perfect men, but they took the grace that God gave them as His saints to serve the Lord. We live the Christian life by faith (i.e., we continually look to the Lord for His strength, wisdom, conviction, rebuke, comfort, guidance and encouragement).

Thank you for reading my ministry blog. To God alone be the praise, credit and glory.

Jesus Lived His Life To Set An Example For Us To Follow

1st Peter 2:18-25, “Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”

I cherish this passage of Scripture. Jesus is the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls. The inspired Scripture teaches that Jesus lived His life to set an example of how we should live as Christians. When Jesus was mistreated, He did not seek revenge. When the dear Savior was falsely accused and unfairly beaten, He held His peace. We've all been mistreated in life. God doesn't want us to retaliate with evil.

In 2013, I moved from Guam to Hilo, Hawaii. I had called ahead twice to ask a local chiropractor's office if they could prescribe the opiate pain medications that I needed. The same woman employee on the phone assured me twice (in two separate phone calls a week apart) that the doctor absolutely could prescribe my medications. So, I moved 4,000 miles from Guam to Hilo, but when I met with the chiropractor he said he wouldn't even know where to send me. The idiot woman on the phone blatantly lied to me.

When I confronted her kindly at the front office desk about her false information, she couldn't have cared less. There were two woman working at the front desk. I kindly told her that even though she had horribly done me wrong, I forgave her. But I also told scolded her for lying to me, and told her that God sees and cares about our words. As I finished speaking my peace, I gently walked away and they both laughed at me as I neared the door. I wanted to murder both of them! I contemplated coming back during the night and throwing a big brick through their window, or something malicious I could do to teach them a lesson. But I wisely considered that I would likely be arrested and get into big trouble, while they laughed some more. So, as hard as it was, I let the matter go INTO GOD'S HANDS. To this day I am deeply hurt over what those two MONSTERS did to me, and I want justice from God. Luke 18:7, “And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?”

Dear reader, I have literally hundreds of such painful incidents which have happened in my life. From the irresponsible fool who left their abandoned car in the middle of the road in 1992 (which led to the tragic accident involving 3 church buses that caused my permanent neck injury), to the two African American punks who stole our family's car in Chicago in 2004, to wicked pastor Tom Brennan in Chicago who in 2004 stole $4,800 from my family and gave away our three cats that he had promised to take care of for 6 months for free (yet we paid him $4,800) and our dog that he killed in anger, to Cedar's Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles who threw me under the bus for dead in 2009 after my neck surgery, to that wicked pastor Marty Herron who forced me out of Harvest Baptist Church in 2014 and banned me from returning, to that wicked hypocrite pastor Jeff Redlin at Pensacola Christian College who also kicked me out of their Campus Church and banned me from returning, to the ungodly slanderous pastors of Dr. Jack Hyles at Family Baptist Church in Pensacola (who wickedly kicked me and my wife Alice out of their damned authoritarian carnal church in 2025)—I WANT JUSTICE FROM GOD!!! 

And the good Lord has promised me to avenge me of these evildoers (Romans 12:19-21). You better believe that I want heads to roll. And if I have wronged or hurt any human being, I want the same justice for them against me. I could easily list hundreds more offenses against me by wicked sinners (including ruthless Christian sinners), but I have never avenged myself.

I could have spit in co-worker's food, but I didn't. I could have stolen their tools and personal belongings (as they did to me), but I didn't, not once. I could have stolen their work uniforms (as they did mine), so that they would have had to pay for them (like I did). Not once in all my working years did I steal anything from anybody. I have worked for everything I have.

By far, I wasn't perfect. Once a guy at work, who was 10 years older than me, kept harassing me. His name was Frank. He threw my radio on the shop floor and smashed it into pieces. I told my boss (the shop foreman), but he couldn't have cared less. I was 21 or 22 years old at the time. My boss said: “If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

That weekend he was driving on his motorcycle southbound on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago (I nicknamed it 'Death Shore Drive' because of the high rate of auto accidents). Frank hit a big bump and crashed his bike. When he came back to work both of his eyes were red from broken blood vessels. Frank took a hard fall. He asked me if I thought God was punishing him for breaking my radio, to which I replied: “Hey, you said it, not me.” I didn't rub it in, I prayed for him.

Frank in his usual anger grabbed me by the shirt one day in the shop and we scuffled. I ripped all the buttons off his shirt in the incident trying to be freed from him. We had a concrete walled makeshift shower at work with an open top. A few month later in summer, while he was taking a shower at work for a hot date on a Friday night, I poured 80/90 gear lube over his head in good gesture, not hatred. I knew it was a harmless stunt. I heard him yelling, “There's gear lube in the water!” Frank came running out with a towel around him, asking who did it, and the other guys told him. Frank threw my tool box on the floor and overturned it so that my tools went everywhere. I was hiding in the parking lot...lol.

Thankfully, my boss warned him the following Monday that if he touched me he would be fired, so Frank left me alone. For once my boss stood up for me, but only that one time. At that job, working as a newbie mechanic, I was spit upon by a co-worker, Bob. Don threw  3-pound sledgehammer at me, and thankfully I dodged out of its way. They stole my work uniforms, which I had to pay for. Co-workers placed Penthouse centerfolds on my work locker.

One day someone left a comic strip on my locker which read: “NEWS FLASH! A Tv evangelist has been seen with his wife!” I figured that pun out fairly quickly. Adultery is epidemic in modern-day apostate neo-evangelism and sad to say, in nearly all of the churches. It's our perverse American culture, which has deliberately been sexualized by Satanists to destroy our nation. Men are under attack like never before by the Devil, which is why I make such a big fuss against women wearing pants in public. IT IS WICKEDNESS!!!

Co-workers put booze bottles in my toolbox, old cigars, and once a highly charged ignition capacitor that caused me to jump a foot into the air when I picked it up, while Dan laughed who put it there, thinking it was funny. My friend at work, Grant (one of our best mechanics and a really nice guy), went to told my boss that the stupid stunt could have stopped my heart, but my boss didn't care. I could write a lengthy book about my persecutions in the secular workplace, and the corrupt churches. When you are a godly Christian you become a moving target for the heathen world (2nd Timothy 3:12). When you are a Christian the whole world is waiting for you to fall (John 15:19).

I saw a truthful meme recently, which read: “The more I learn about people, the more I understand why Noah only took animals aboard the ark.” People equal pain dear reader, as you already know all too well. That is why me and my wife increasingly prefer to stay home as much as possible. We are at the place where we don't even want to go outside our door anymore, because of how wicked American society has become. Pastor Lester Roloff (1914-1982) was absolutely right, who said: “We're in insanity because of sin.”

I am far from a perfect man, but other than that gear lube stunt nearly 40 years ago I cannot remember having done anything to hurt, retaliate or be mean to anyone that I worked with, or at any church. They tore up my daily work-orders at work, which I had to fill out twice. They deliberately stopped up urinals to flood the restroom floor to harass me. Wicked co-workers started and spread ungodly rumors about me, knowing that people go by what they hear.

Yet, I prayed for my co-workers and I prayed for them continually, mainly for God to convict them about their need to be saved. I've had a Church of Christ nutcase get angry at me for leaving Gospel tracts in the men's room. I refused to admit to leaving them out, because he was trying to get me into trouble. Cult members are hateful! The Jehovah's Witness are some of the most hateful people I have ever met. They are militant in their damnable false religion! The Church of Christ and Lordship Salvation Baptists are nearly just as bad. Beware of the heretical militant “repent of your sins” followers of nutcase Dr. Peter S. Ruckman (1921-2016).

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was so right: “No good deed shall go unpunished.” Everywhere that Jesus journeyed, He was a blessing but wicked sinners hated Him. Jesus said if they hated Him, they will also hate us as saints (John 7:7, 15:19). Christians are often accused of being “hateful” by the world, and they are right in that we hate sin and evil (Psalms 97:10). But the truth is actually reversed, it is the world who hates the Christians. 

John 15:17-21 “These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.”

The world walks in darkness. Jesus is the light who came into the world, but the world did not recognize Him for who He is. John 1:4-5, “In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” Judas was sorrowful for betraying innocent blood (Matthew 27:3-5), but he never repented toward God of his unbelief to trust Christ. You see dear reader, repenting of your sins won't save you. 

To get to Heaven, you must by faith (taking God at His written Word) receive Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that He was burled, but then physically ressurected after three days from the dead. This is the Gospel (which means 'GOOD NEWS') by which all who BELIEVE IT are saved (1st Corinthians 15;1-6; Romans 1:16).

May we as God's redeemed saints strive in the Lord's grace each day to walk in our dear Savior's footsteps—forgiving those who have hurt us, loving our enemies, praying for those who despitefully use us, and placing all injurious matters, being defrauded and other offenses into God's omnipotent hands for judgment (Romans 12:19-21). Romans 12:19b, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” It is not our place to avenge ourselves against those who hurt us.

Of course, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't defend our self and our loved ones against harm or evil. I humbly believe this passage in Romans 12:19-21 applies to the many situations of life where someone has wronged us, and legally there is absolutely nothing we can do to obtain justice. We could break the law by hurting that person somehow, but this is not what God wants for His redeemed children to do. God is much bigger than our problems! And I assure you that nothing is overlooked by God's eyes. Proverbs 15:3, “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” I love those last three word... and the good.” The faithful Lord sees when we do good. God sees when someone cheats, defrauds, hurts or kicks us out of church for telling the truth, and then we let those offenses go into the Lord's caring hands for judgment. I choose to let a painful matter go, to take the high road instead of seeking revenge. Life is too short to live with a burden of hatred.

Granted, I am not talking about godly fundamentalist Bible preachers who preach against evil, expose incompetent clergy, earnestly contend for the faith, and call out bad religious institutions and corrupt churches for their recklessness in handling God's Word, hurting people and the Gospel. Our Lord was a man “despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not” (Isaiah 55:3b). Yet, Jesus who could have called twelve legions of angels to free Him (Matthew 26:53), joyfully endured the cross and the shame for you and me dear reader (Hebrews 12:2), because Jesus loves us (1st John 4:19).

Although Jesus took an uncompromising stand against sin and wickedness, it is also true that He unconditionally loved everybody without exception. Jesus hated no one!

Jesus, I humbly think, was the kind of guy who would give you His last dollar if you needed it, but at the same time He suffered no fools.

Jesus was no wimp, as the ungodly Roman Catholic Church always portrays Him to be, decrepit and weak on a religious crucifix cross.

1st Peter 2:21-25, “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”

I often preach THE TRUTH that you don't have to forsake a sinful lifestyle to receive God's free gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that is a needful truth in defense of a free grace Gospel; but dear reader, please don't think for one second that God doesn't want His redeemed children to walk in perfect holiness. Ephesians 2:10 teaches that we were saved UNTO GOOD WORKS. Not “by” good works, but rather “unto” good works. I think Pastor Lester Roloff said it very well: “Jesus saved you so you wouldn't live like that anymore.”

If I could sum up Jesus' life on earth with two words, it would be: “He cared” (1st Peter 5:7).

Psalms 1:1, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.”

THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY surrounds us in American society. The further that our culture deviates from the Holy Bible, the more ungodly people's advice becomes. Proverbs 21:30, “There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.” Any advice that goes contrary to the Word of God is ungodly counsel. The inspired Word of God warns the child of God not to walk in the counsel of ungodly people. That is, do not seek nor heed their foolish heathen advice.

Spiritually Deadly Women's Shelters

I know a married Christian couple. The burdened husband has a troubled rebellious wife. Her wicked attitude is that she doesn't need his permission to make major life's decisions. She couldn't be more wrong Scripturally! The inspired Holy Bible commands all married women, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord” (Ephesians 5:22). That is a divine command. Literally, a wife is supposed to obey her husband as if he were God on earth. Unless your husband is asking you to do something immoral or illegal, you are biblically obligated to obey him. If he tells you to stay home from church, you stay home from church. That is godly counsel. We need a revival of respect for authority in America! All of the insurrection going on in Minnesota inspired by ANTIFA is Satanic! It is anarchy!

The same poor fella's wife is mentally unstable, emotionally fragile, prone to psychotic breaks and manic episodes of anger. One day she got angry at him, for jumping on her case for leaving her shoes and clothes on the kitchen floor for the dozenth time She is lazy and irresponsible. In anger and defiance against her husband, she went to a local women's shelter for the first time. Within one week a wicked women working in the shelter had convinced the wife to file for divorce. Think about that! It's not like this was the wife's 10th time at the shelter. 

For a complete stranger to encourage a frustrated wife to file for divorce, when you never met that person until just 5 days ago, you are of the Devil! That is the counsel of the ungodly! I am preaching on this topic because this has become a serious wicked problem across the United States today. The destructive evil influence of ungodly feminism has crept into our churches and Christian homes, like sewage flowing into a cesspool of iniquity. I cannot warn you enough ladies to always be on guard against ungodly advice from other females. Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

The rebellious wife told her husband over the phone that the female shelter counselor advised her: “God never intended for two people who fight continually to remain married.” Dear reader, that is the Devil talking! God absolutely expects you to remain married, regardless of circumstances! You can leave if you feel in danger, but you cannot divorce! I triple-dog dare you to show me one passage in the inspired Holy Bible that permits divorce under any circumstances. You cannot. Divorce is always a sin. There are no valid grounds for divorce.

But wait, what about Matthew 19:9, “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”? Fornication is sex outside of marriage; adultery is sex if you are married and have sex with someone to whom you are not married. So, these two people are not legally married yet in Matthew 19:9. We see a perfect example of this in the situation when Joseph learned that his fiancée Mary was pregnant, and it wasn't his child. Joseph sought to privily (secretly) put her away (break off the engagement), without humiliating her.

I find it interesting that God didn't give Joseph a heads-up ahead of time. The LORD allowed Joseph to experience the inexplicable deep emotional pain and trauma of betrayal, knowing that his fiancée had cheated on him (so he thought). That is interesting. God tests our faith.

We live in an froward culture in this wicked generation. “Froward” means “a perversity or fraud.” If you are froward, God will show Himself unsavory toward you. “Unsavory” means “morally offensive, not pleasing.” God will not bless anyone who flagrantly lives in sin. We live in an ungodly generation that does not look up to God. There is no fear of God today. 

For a wicked female counselor at a women's shelter to recommend to a frustrated wife (who she has only known for less than a week) that she needs to file for divorce is incredibly evil. To add insult to injury, the demonic shelter offered the wife a free apartment to live in for a few months during the divorce. So, they are not only encouraging her to divorce her Christian husband (who doesn't want the divorce), they are also enabling his rebellious wife financially to do so. I hate those damned of God shelters! I hope you do too friend. Psalms 1:1, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.”

Abortion Is Evil Premediated First-Degree Murder

Another example of the counsel of the ungodly is abortion industry. Psalms 1:1, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” There is never any justification for an abortion. If you give sinners an inch, they'll take a foot! If existing laws permit abortion to save the mother, dishonest liberal feminist-minded doctors will claim the mother's life was in danger to murder a child. It is a fact that with today's modern advanced technology that abortions are no longer necessary to save a mother's life. Liberal pro-death losers will disagree, but they are wicked liars! There is no such thing as a situation in 2026 where to save a mother's life, her child's life must be robbed from them. Please DO NOT walk in the counsel of the ungodly!

Anyone who tries to convince you that it is okay for women to wear pants in public, drink booze, smoke cigarettes, get tattoos and other forms of immoral or potentially self-destructive behavior is giving you ungodly counsel. Learn to think for yourself, as you “Search the scriptures...” (John 5:39a). 

The serpent (Satan) in the Garden of Eden lied to Eve. Satan ruined her life! The Devil started out by mentioning God. Genesis 3:1, “Yea, hath God said...” Wicked people who give deadly counsel will often talk about God, pretending to be spiritually minded, when they are really speaking doctrines of devils. Anybody who encourages you to file for divorce or have an abortion is an evil person! Psalms 1:1, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” Ungodly counsel lurks in every nook and cranny of society today, including in the churches. Please don't let some snake-tongued pastor's wife ruin your marriage.

You simply cannot trust 95% of the bad advice which ungodly people will give you nowadays.

Reasons Why You Shouldn't Observe The Heathen Religious Practices Of Ash Wednesday And Lent

Matthew 23:23-27, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.”

Because the Old Testament Jewish priests (for religious purposes) used ash in The Temple for worship, and later by Judaism and the Pharisees, it would be both relevant and timely (and in light of the cult of Roman Catholicism) to critically examine these heathen rituals.

Here are reasons why it is wrong to observe Ash Wednesday and Lent:

1. Ash Wednesday (like Infant Baptism) was derived from and copied from pagan Baal Worship.
2. Unlike Communion, it is found nowhere in Scripture nor commanded for the Church.
3. It is the tradition of man versus the teachings of Christ and His Apostles.
4. It disobeys Christ’s command that fasting should be personal and private, not a public show and a parade.
5. The “T” shape of ashes on the forehead is historically not the Cross, “T” as in Tamuz, though most believe it is the Cross. Learn the true pagan origins of Ash Wednesday and Lent. Satan is a beautiful liar!
6. The Babylonians worshipped Tammuz and wore the “T” on their foreheads (made with ashes) when they invaded Israel during the Feast of Tammuz in June and July of 586 BC and destroyed the First Temple built by Solomon, which invasion began in 597 BC and didn’t end until 582 BC (a total of 15 years). But the persecution didn’t end then for the Jews, because they had to witness and be subjected to it for their entire captivity in Babylon which lasted for 70 years, as prophesied by the prophet Jeremiah (2nd Chronicles 36:21; Jeremiah 25:11, 29:10). So, the Jews would have witnessed this billboard of ashes on Babylonian foreheads for almost a century.

In the Ancient Babylonian religion, the evergreen tree symbolized new life springing from a dead stump, and represented the resurrected god of Tammuz. So, no matter what the shape of the ash on the forehead, it was clear to the Jews what it represented; and sadly, many Jews were drawn into this religious rite, and it is the very reason God allowed Babylon to invade Israel and deport the Jews in judgment, clearly revealed in Scripture. However, the Roman's Latin language word for Tammuz is “Thammuz.” So, it is perfectly understandable why they would use a “T” for their Ash Wednesday. But its meaning and foundation is clearly Babylonian.

Old Testament Versus New Testament Use Of Ashes

Hebrews 9:13-14, “For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”

Let's examine the preceding Scripture passage:

1. Note that ashes do nothing for the soul, no matter where you put them on the body.
2. In order to produce ashes, you have to burn the red heifer’s body completely until it becomes ashes, after it has been slain in sacrifice. Jesus was the Perfect Sacrifice, the Lamb of God slain for the sins of the whole world (John 1:29; 1st John 2:2). But here’s the problem: Yes, like heifers and lambs, Jesus was slain. But Jesus was never burned to produce ashes and not a single bone in his body was broken. So, it is impossible and farcical (extravagantly humorous) to use literal ashes on your forehead to symbolize Jesus! Yes, ashes symbolize purification, but purification of Christians is only made possible through faith in Christ’s shed Perfect Blood applied to the heavenly Mercy Seat (Hebrews 9:12, 22-24; 12:24).
3. Catholics only fast for 2 of the 40 Days of Lent. Jesus fasted for the entire 40 Days in the Wilderness.
4. Jesus was tempted by Satan during the 40 Days. Where are any of the appearances of Satan to Catholics for the past millennium and a half?
   
5. Ashes are supposedly used for cleansing. But Scripture says in 1st John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” So, do ashes have anything to do with confessing our sins? No. And that confession is to God above, not a mortal Catholic priest!
6. “Fat Tuesday” reminds me of the Apostle Paul’s declarations about the Cretans in Titus, who were gluttons. And the Philippians, “whose God is their belly” and “their end is destruction.” So, this prelude alone would disqualify “Ash Wednesday” and “Lent” before the LORD!
7. If Jesus had fasted 40 days before his Crucifixion, there would have been no Last Supper! There is no biblical or historical evidence that Jesus did any of these things 40 Days prior to his Crucifixion.
8. The ashes of a red heifer remained ashes and were never resurrected!
9. Ash Wednesday and Lent are so full of confusion, conflating events and contradictions. And you know who the author of confusion is, Satan (1st Corinthians 14:33).
10. The countdown to Good Friday or Resurrection Day in Lent isn’t 40 sequential days in Lent, but 43-44 days to Good Friday, which ends in 46 days on Saturday, the day before Resurrection Day. And this excludes Sundays and Resurrection Day, without which we would all remain dead in our sinful trespasses! This isn’t just fuzzy math, but numerology on steroids!

Dear reader, Ash Wednesday and Lent are pagan religious practices. These heathen rituals are an integral part of Roman And Orthodox Catholic worship, the biggest demonic religious cults on the planet. I encourage you to avoid these manmade rituals and instead “Search the scriptures” as Jesus commanded in John 5:39. Jeremiah 10:2a, “Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen...”

Are You A Godly Wife Or A Spoiled Brat?

Ephesians 5:22, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”

The inspired Word of God teaches that a wife is to submit (obey) her own husband as if he were Jesus Christ. How many women today ascribe to this belief? I dare say 1 in 10,000. In the Old Testament, King Solomon said that out of 1,000 women (likely his 700 wives and 300 concubines), he could not find even one woman that feared God. Ecclesiastes 7:28, “Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.”

It doesn't surprise me that Solomon couldn't find a female among his haram that feared God, because his worldly type of lifestyle attracted worldly women. I just heard in the news that Sylvester Stallone's third wife has also filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage. She wants his money and she's going to get it! The poor guy married a heathen woman.

Likewise, Actor Robin Williams (1951-2014) commit suicide in 2014. His first two wives divorced him, parasiting off his wealth, using the ungodly courts to forcefully take away hundreds of millions of dollars that he had worked hard to earn. Like Stallone, Robin married heathen women. If Solomon's wives could have gotten away with it, no doubt they would have cleaned him out, taking all his wealth with them. When the Lord Jesus Christ taught His disciples about marriage, adultery, divorce and remarriage, they were horrified and concluded that it's best not to get married. Matthew 19:10, “His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.” They went MGTOW!

In any marriage, you are uniting two sinners. There will be problems, tension and anger at times, with very rare exceptions. I once heard a Christian man testify that in 10 years of marriage he and his wife had never exchanged any negative words nor fought. Either he is a bad liar, or else one or both of them kept their hurt feelings to themselves, because what he said is very strange and abnormal.

I know a Christian couple who are having marital troubles. The wife became angry at her husband. She is lazy and refuses to pick up after herself. She lets food in the refrigerator rot, which has to be tossed into the garbage. I'm talking green moldy hotdogs! She is a bad wife! She is spoiled rotten! In her anger one day she abandoned her husband to run to a local shelter, which she has often done in the past. She falsely accuses him of being abusive, but the truth is that she doesn't like being corrected for not being responsible as an adult. She had worked outside the home in previous years, but was fired from both jobs for LAZINESS! Whereas she is an abusive wife, she gaslights her poor husband, blaming him instead.

That wicked wife after one week in the shelter started her own new bank account, so she could keep her own money away from her husband. She didn't ask her husband for permission to do that. She applied for a job. She didn't ask for her husband's permission to do that either. She started looking for a local apartment to live in. What's that poor husband to do? When her despondent husband (a nervous wreck by now) kindly reminded her that she is his lawful wife, and biblically he has authority over her, she angrily said: “I don't need your permission!” What saith the Scripture? Ephesians 5:22, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” Oh, what a foolish woman! She has a sinful loser's attitude. ...

Proverbs 14:1-3, “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.”

I believe these three Bible verses go together. A wife who disobeys and works against her husband does not fear the LORD. She is rebellious! She is a bad wife! She is a spoiled brat! Proverbs 14:3a, “In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride...” Any wicked wife who starts her own bank account, applies for a job and secures an apartment without her husband's permission is blaspheming the inspired Word of God. Titus 2:4-5, “That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” Did you read that... KEEPERS AT HOME! Did you read that... GOOD! Did you read that... OBEDIENT TO THEIR OWN HUSBANDS!

In deteriorated United States today women have become angry, rebellious and empowered by the ungodly courts. It is almost impossible today for a single guy to find a Christian wife who truly walks in the Spirit, so that “The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil” (Proverbs 31:11). If you get married nowadays, there is a high risk that in time your wicked wife will make you a victim through the courts—and you will regret that you ever decided to get married. All a poor single guy can do is pray for God to give him wisdom how to choose a loyal wife, but even then people often change for the worse.

The old adage is very true: What you see is what you get! If the person you are considering marrying has some red flags, multiply those bad character traits by TEN after you're married. You can trust me on this advice! Never even date someone who has a hot temper. Never date a flirt. Never date someone who consumes booze or illegal drugs. Since you always marry somebody that you know, you should NEVER date someone whom you wouldn't marry. That's some of the best practical advice you'll ever hear my friend.

Yes, dear wife, whomever you may be, God does require for you to obtain your husband's permission to make major life's decisions. And I'll go a step further, which may harelip some of you feminists, your lawful husband does have a biblical right to control who your friends are, if he allows you to have friends at all. If you disagree with that, then you do NOT have a biblical mindset toward marriage. Your husband does have a right to insist that you don't talk to your meddling mother. Meddling mother-in-laws are notorious for ruining marriages!

Your husband has every God-given biblical right to ask where you are going, what you will be doing, who you will be meeting, and when you will be returning, and he has the authority to insist that you stay home instead. If you have a problem with that, then you are a rebel. Proverbs 14:2, “He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.” Woe unto the rebellious wife who continually causes her husband grief of soul, inexplicable emotional pain, financial loss and misery. The only thing worse than not being married is being married and not wanting to be married. It's much better to wait long than marry wrong! We are living in a generation that does not look up to God. Proverbs 30:13, “There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.”

I realize that less than 1% of my blog readers will likely agree with the truths I have taught in this article, but this is 100% biblical. No one can escape life's responsibilities. When you don't pull your weight at work, you get fired. When a lazy wife doesn't pull her weight at home, her husband cannot fire her. All the poor fella can do is verbally correct her. But if she has some spiritual and/or mental issues that compel her to get upset, go lunatic and with blood-curdling screaming explode in anger toward her husband (while he's nowhere near her), she is wrong. Woe unto the foolish woman who punishes her husband by using her vocal cords to scream as a weapon against him, for no other reason than she doesn't want to be scolded for her laziness. That dear reader is what you call a “spoiled brat”!

I feel so sorry for the fella I shared with you in this blog. He's a good and responsible guy with a caring heart, but he married a lazy woman with an unscriptural attitude toward her husband's authority. She does what she wants, how she wants, when she wants, and he dare not try to tell her different, lest she make his life a living hell on earth. Woe unto that ungodly wife when she answers to God sin eternity at the Judgment Seat of Christ. A godly wife obeys her man, period. Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) is absolutely right, who said that if your husband tells you to stay home from church with him, YOU STAY HOME and don't complain!

By the way, females wearing pants, Spandex, miniskirts and other immodest clothing has nothing to do with a wife's heart toward her husband. I know Christian women who wear pants, but are obedient toward their husband. And I know Christian women who would never wear anything but long dresses who are rebellious brats, a constant burden to their husband. One thing has nothing to do with the other. You cannot always judge a book by its cover.

We need a revival in the United States of wifely submission to husbands. And if you're a feminist-minded female who's right now thinking: “Well what about my husband?,” you're the rebellious brat to whom I am preaching the inspired Holy Bible. GET RIGHT WITH GOD!!!

Who Is On The LORD's Side?

Exodus 32:22-27, “And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off.  So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:) Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.”

I am often reminded of this passage of Scripture. We read in Romans 15:4, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Dear friend, God gave us His Word to give us hope and comfort through the promises of the inspired Scriptures. As we read the many biographies of God's children throughout centuries past in the Old Testament, and they wicked alike, we are given a privileged look at their lives before, during and after their time on earth, and how those who walked by faith in Christ came forth of them all.

By the way, that is what the Scripture means in Isaiah 28:16, Romans 9:33 and Romans 10:11, “For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” In other words, you will never regret putting your trust in Jesus Christ.

In our text passage of Scripture, Aaron (Moses' blood brother) had succumbed to the Hebrew's request for him to make unto them idols (false gods). Aaron was very carnal and foolish to give into their wicked desires. Aaron wickedly melted a golden-calf for the people and they sinfully worshipped it. When Joshua heard the rock music in the camp, he called it the sound of war. When Moses came down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments, he saw the people butt-naked, dancing shamefully around a golden calf. Moses was a godly man and he became very angry.

Aaron was such a liar! When his brother Moses asked him what wickedness he had done, Aaron said: “Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.” Right! Aaron said he tossed all their golden jewelry into the fire and magically a golden calf just came out. Are you buying that? Moses sure didn't! Golden calves don't just suddenly form and appear, someone shaped and made it that way on purpose to worship it instead of their Creator and eternal Deliverer, God.

I love what Moses said to the people in Exodus 32:26b, “Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me.” I humbly believe this is where Joshua found the inspiration to say to the Hebrew people in Joshua 24:15, “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Whose side are you on dear reader?

There are tens of millions of worldly Christians in this world, few of which attend church regularly, but if given an ultimatum to choose sides they would instantly come over to the LORD's side, because they are saved. I believe that with all my heart. Many Christian women today wear their ungodly pants in public, behaving like the wicked Jews who gleefully danced naked around the camp in Moses' absence, but they haven't sunk as far spiritually to worship the golden calf. Many Christian men look at dirty computer images that no human eye should ever see, except to whom one is legally married. The sad truth is that most Christians today are already half way to the worldly camp that shocked Moses.

I am on the LORD's side! I settled that a very long, long, time ago in my Christian life. I have never claimed to be a good Christian. I do not think I am. But God knows I work day and night on my website ministry because I love Jesus, my God, Lord, Friend and Savior. There is a “cause,” as David asked his brother in 1st Samuel 17:29. I work hard while I still can. John 9:4, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” We are all living in borrowed time from God, our faithful and good Creator.

Jesus is precious!!!
