We All Either Place God On Trial, Or We Blindly Trust Him

𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝟭𝟯:𝟭𝟱, “𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗲, 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺: 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺.”

Every human being comes to the place in life, where we have to decide whether we are going to place God on trial for judgment; or else we are just going to blindly trust God, without being able to see our own hand in front of our face. I chosen the latter, as Job did in 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝟭𝟯:𝟭𝟱, “𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗲, 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺: 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺.”

I am in the same frustrating boat with literally millions of other frustrated single men, desiring a wife but there is no one in sight. Men are afraid to get married these days because of feminism and the unfair American court system. Getting a divorce in America is an easy as changing your underwear. If divorce were permanently made illegal and banned in the United States, the MGTOW movement would disappear overnight. Men would no longer fear marriage and the devastating consequences that often follow when a tired wife files for divorce. Then a God damned greedy lawyer destroys that poor husband's life. I am a victim of the ungodly American divorce court system.

My own biological son is 35 years old and cannot find a wife. He was sitting next to me when the demonic greedy lawyer demanded $50,000 from me when my wife divorced me. It ended up costing me $64,000 in legal fees. I hate lawyers! My son had to pack up all of my possessions, because the judge refused to allow me to go back into my own home. The house was sold and I never saw my home again. I never saw my pets again, they were just given away to strangers. In my new rental apartment, I was turning over food in my frying pan with needle-nose pliers, because all my kitchen stuff was given away to strangers. I got screwed over big time, all because my incompetent rebellious wife wanted a divorce. God knows that I do not hate her or anybody else, but my x-wife should burn in Hell someday for the evils she has done. American woman stay away from me!!!

I wept profusely for days, having lost everything. I almost commit suicide. I bought two barbeques and charcoal, and was going to asphyxiate myself with carbon monoxide in the bathroom. Only by God's merciful grace, I didn't do it. I wanted to die. I used my prescription drugs to sleep 15 hours a day. I was holed up in my rental house for months at a time, only leaving to buy food and survive. I hated life. Meanwhile, my piece of trash x-wife was going to fiestas and having a good day, bragging that two men were interested in dating her. What a spoiled little brat! The divorce didn't cost her a single penny, but I lost everything. I did as Jesus commanded in 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝟭𝟭:𝟮𝟮, “𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗱.”

You'll Never Get Justice In This Evil World

Hebrews 4:9-16, “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”

I learned something a very long time ago about studying the Bible, that forever changed my life. Most heresies are caused by sincere unlearned or shady dishonest people who lift a particular text out of context, to create a new pretext. That is, they wrest the Bible to teach a lie. 2nd Peter 3:15-17. As a general rule dear friend, always read the Scripture verses before and after a particular passage, to make sure that you rightly divide the Word of Truth. Also, get into the habit of connecting Bible chapters, pretending like there are no chapter divisions. This will wonderfully enrich your Bible study.

The main verse I chose for this blog is Hebrews 4:13, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” One day in the afterlife, we all shall stand before God almighty to be judged according to our works. This is true of the unsaved (Revelation 20:12), and of the saved as well (2nd Corinthians 5:10). The only difference is that the former will be judged as eternally damned Christ-rejecters, but the latter will be judged as redeemed sinners who trust in Jesus; but the Bible says we will all be judged according to our works. This has nothing to do with salvation. For the unbeliever, their works will determine their degree of punishment in the Lake of Fire; for the believer, our works will determine our degree of rewards we receive.

I had never noticed it before, but the pronoun “his” in Hebrews 4:13 refers to Jesus, “THE WORD OF GOD,” in verse 12, Hebrews 4:12-13, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Jesus, who is God almighty, sees everything! One day every believer will have to stand before Jesus to be judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ (2nd Corinthians 5:10-11). Unbelievers will be judged by God the Father at The Great White Throne of Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15).

I have been hurt, cheated, defrauded and betrayed by people throughout my life. One man named John Coop Sr. in Indiana stole $2,800 from me on a pedal steel guitar I paid him to rebuild. He kept my guitar and the money that I paid him to rebuild it. There was nothing I could legally do. I could have sued him in small claims court, but I would have been responsible to pay all court costs, regardless if the man ever paid a penny if there was a judgment again him. Since he was an elderly man collecting social security, I knew that I would never see one penny of the money. He is a dirty thief! That man died of cancer a couple years later and is in God's hands now for judgment.

Another man named James Moorehead in Oklahoma stole $600 from me, that I paid him to manufacture some pedal steel guitar parts for my Sho-Bud Pro-II, but he kept my money and never sent me the parts. He is a dirty thief. He also died a few years after, now in God's hands for judgment. Another man, a crooked pastor in Chicago, cheated me out of $10,000. He is a dirty thief, a liar and a wicked person, whom I have placed into God's hands for judgment.

Some thieves stole my car in Chicago in 2004. Police found it two weeks later smashed into a telephone pole in an alley. The car was totaled, because the thieves drove it at high speed into the alley pole, doing major damage to the front of the car. It was beyond repair and I cried when I saw my car in the city pound. A lot of living went on in that car. Those rotten thieves will answer to God for shedidng innocent blood, since I worked hard to pay for that car. I gave many hours of my life to labor for that vehicle, which they stole from me, depriving me of my labors, which is equivalent to shedding innocent blood.

I could go on and on. I have been falsely accused, had my keys stolen at work, had my work unforms stolen (which I had to pay for). Dirty thieves stole my new propane tank, stole my inspired King James Bible from my car, stole my two radios from my car and the cables, stole the solar lights I put down on my front lawn, stole my Amazon delivered package from my front porch, et cetera.

I had a drunk driver (an illegal immigrant many years ago) slam into my car twice and the police wouldn't do anything about it. I told them the truth that I saw that drunk slam into several parked cars along his drunken rampage, but neither the Chicago or Cicero police would do anything. What lazy bums! They should all be fired! State Farm insurance only paid me $400 for over $3,000 in damages to my car, saying that this was the Bluebook value of my 1973 Buick Oldsmobile car, and if I wanted more money then I should have bought collector's car insurance instead. My nice red car didn't have a dent on it when I insured it, until that piece of drunken human trash slammed his car into mine and ruined it! State Farm are dirty thieves!!! I HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!! I refuse to buy insurance on anything that I don't legally have to, because they are all shady CROOKS!!! Trust me when I say that 99% of all insurance policies are scams intended to screw you, the consumer! READ THAT FINE PRINT!!!

By the way, that is one thing that I absolutely love about God's Holy Bible, there is no fine print. No parts of the inspired Holy Bible are any less or more important than the rest. Every jot and tittle, from the first word in Genesis to the last word in Revelation, is inspired by God.

I have never received JUSTICE in this world. The thives who stole my car were never caught. I never did get back the $2,800 that John Coop Sr. stole from me, nor did I get back the $600 that James Moorhead stole from me. I never did get back the $10,000 that the Baptist pastor defrauded me out of in Chicago. I was taken advantage of by three lawfirms in my lifetime, bilked for $77,000 for ridiculously little actual work done. Lawyers are shady crooks, sharks on land!!! These wicked thieves are in God's hands for judgment. I do not hate them, but I certainly want justice. Thankfully, our text passage from Hebrews 4:13 says that the Lord sees everything, and God will judge all men (cf. Ecclesiastes 12:14).

I recently filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) against Amazon.com for falsely accusing me of "hate speech." I had mentioned 'The Little Rascals' (a 1970's popular children's Tv show) in a product review, for which Amazon's ignorant employees wrongly accused me of using hate speech. They thought I was calling children "rascals." What idiocy! The problem is that the Amazon corporation (located in Seattle, Washington) outsource all of their customer operations to foreign countires, who don't understand American culture. I was stunned that Amazon was actually falsely accusing me of hate speech. What they did is evil.

So, I reasonably told them off! I later apologized multiple times for my harsh words, after they took away my priviledges to write any more product reviews. I even mailed an apology letter to Seatlle, to their headquarters, but they just forwarded the letter to a foreign country. They still refuse to allow me to write any more reviews. So, I abandoned that account, after being a loyal customer for 20 years!!! I HATE AMAZON.COM! I love their business model and ordering stuff from them, but I hate the company itself for the way they abuse their customers. Jeff Bezos is NOT a good man! His net worth is a sickening $211,000,000,000. I found out that there are over 50,000 complaints filed with the BBB against Amazon, 60% of which are unresolved.

Did you know that Amazon has 1,500,000 employees? Did you know that Amazon made over $600,000,000,000 last year? That's $50,000,000,000 a month. That's $1,800,000,000 per day! That's about $70,000,000 per hour! That's about $1,200,000 per minute. That's $20,000 per second!!! Amazon makes in 2 or 3 seconds what the average American earns in a whole year!!! Now you know why being a loyal customer for 20 years, and spending $100,000 during that time for products, means ZERO to Amazon. The company makes $100,000 in just 5 seconds!!! So, they couldn't care less about you as a faithul top-spending customer. You'll never get justice filing a complaint against a Goliath company like Amazon, not without God. Thankfully, we read in Isaiah 13:11, “And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.”

You will rarely, if ever, get any justice in this evil world, but God PROMISES that you will get justice in eternity (Romans 14:10-12; 1st Thessalonians 4:6; Matthew 7:1-5; Galatians 6:7; Romans 12:19-21). God is omniscient, that is, He knows all. God is omnipotent, that is, He is all powerful. God is omnipresent, that is, His Spirit is everywhere. God is omnisapient, that is, He is all wise. God is omnibenevolent, that is, He is all loving. And God is immutable, that is, He cannot change. We have a wonderful Creator!!!

I Hate Liars And Shady Companies

Proverbs 19:22, “The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.”

I hate a liar. I don't hate people, but I hate the liar in the sinner. My house was built in 1957. I have a very old Tappan wall oven that is only 22" wide. The oven door springs were broken when I bought the home, and the door would come crashing down if you tried to close it, so I had to leave it open for safety. I searched near and far to try to find replacement oven door springs but couldn't, because the oven is so old. Tappan has discontinued making this part.

So God gave me the bright idea to twist the broken spring coils together to extend their life, which is what I did. Thankfully, it worked for a couple years, Unfortunately, yesterday when I opened the door to bake my Homerun-Inn pizza from Chicago, I heard a loud snap and the door became heavier. I knew right away what had happened, one of the return springs broke again. They are old and due to heat fatigue over the decades they're on their last legs.

So, this morning I went online to search for replacement springs, hoping they had become available after two years, but they are not longer made. So, I then decided to look for a replacement wall oven. The problem is that my oven is a rare 22" wide model. Anything bigger will not fit into the wooden housing built into my wall. All of the available wall ovens are at least 24" or wider, which absolutely will not work. The wood is antique and cannot be remolded to fit the larger ovens. So I searched online for a 22" wall oven and here is what I found from Best Buy...

The add clearly implies that Best Buy sells 22" wall ovens. Their website appeared at the top of the search engine. The problem, as you can easily verify for yourself, is that BEST BUY LIED!!! I triple-dog dare you to find any 22" wall ovens for sale at Best Buy! You cannot. It is obvious why retailers blatantly lie all the time. It is because they are unethical, greedy and wickedly couldn't care less about being honest, they will stoop lower than low to deceive you, all in a selfish attempt to lure you to their website, hoping that you'll buy something else. I HATE LIARS!!! Literally, I could write a big book of these types of unethical, shady and crooked business practices employed today by ungodly companies. THEY ARE LIARS!!! Duckduckgo are LIARS!

I am so sick and tired of shady people! The world is increasingly sinking into the mire of Sodom and Gomorrha. Jesus foretold in Matthew 24:37-39 that in the end times the world would return to the ungodly wicked conditions as seen in Noah's time, before the flood that destroyed all of humanity, save Noah and his family alone. I don't blame God for ridding the planet of mankind. Sadly, society today is getting very bad.

This month an immoral 23-year-old woman in London named Lily Phillips had sex with 100 men in one day as a Only Fans stunt. If that wasn't bad enough, now the ungodly female has announced to the world that she is preparing to have sex with 1,000 men in one day. She needs to be arrested and sent for a psychiatric evaluation. The media are having a hey day. The public can't get enough of the sensationalism. Even as wicked as the Old Testament city of Sodom was, I seriously doubt if things were this bad! I could share hundreds of similar shocking horror stories with you from the news, but I'll spare you. This world has always been wicked (1st John 5:19), but things have gone nuclear today! Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

We live in a shameful culture of liars, from lawyers to realtors to pastors, they are all LIARS! Your average pastor today preaches a counterfeit gospel of partial faith in Christ plus YOU have to do something (e.g., turn from your sinful ways, be willing to give up your sinful bad habits, follow Christ, make Jesus the “Lord” of your life, et cetera). None of these requirements are found in the inspired King James Bible! The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.

People sometimes ask me if they should settle for a church that uses a corrupt Bible version but preaches an accurate free grace Gospel, or attend a church that uses the trustworthy King James Bible but preaches the heresy of Lordship Salvation. My answer is definitely attend a church that is correct on the Gospel. You can always choose to use the King James Bible, even though they are using the Devil's garbage revisions. But nothing is more important than being correct on God's simple plan of salvation. Choose a church that is correct on the Gospel.

We've all seen bank advertisements that offer you a gift in exchange for opening a new account. The bank is lying to you. If you have to open a new account to get the toaster (or whatever gift they are offering), that is a reward, not a gift. It something were truly a gift, then you could walk into the bank and take it without any obligations or stipulations. Clearly, they are not offering you a gift.

I am teaching myself to play the piano. It is a difficult instrument to learn to play. There are 12 different keys and each requires completely different finger positions, muscle memory and knowledge that complicates things. It is quite a challenge, to say the least, which requires years of practice to become even remotely good at playing. I recently bought a Yamaha P-225 keyboard piano to learn on and the accompanying housing and floor pedals for it. It is very nice and practical, easy to be taken down and stored or moved when necessary.

In sharp contrast, I have been playing the pedal steel guitar since 1992 and am good at it. To change keys, all I have to do is move my playing bar to a different fret marker. Nothing changes, except having different chord/open string options available in various fret positions. Changing keys is super simple, whereas on a piano it can be a nightmare and throw everything off kilter for the musician. I will always love the pedal steel guitar! I also have been playing the Hawaiian steel guitar since 2006. Bud Tutmarc (1924-2006) is a famous Christian steel guitarist. He loved the C#m9th tuning, which I used to record this song in his eloquent style, “God Understands.” Here is the original song I found on YouTube without the steel guitar that I added, by God's grace. I switched to the C6th tuning at the very end to finish the song.

Anyway, I said all that to say this. I went online a couple weeks ago to find a website to learn the piano, and I found “Simply Piano.” They FALSELY advertise that they'll give you 7 FREE days of trying their learning software, BUT ONLY if you surrender your credit card information to them. They are LIARS at Simply Piano. Those 7 days are NOT free, because they require YOU to give them your credit card number and necessary information to charge you at the end of 7 days, unless you search through their obscure submenus in your frustration to try to find a way to cancel your subscription.

They deliberately make it difficult to cancel your subscription, hoping that you will throw your hands in the air and keep their software for $19.99 per month. That is why they demand your credit card number in the first place, to suck you in and take advantage of your frail human nature. They fully know that if they can lure you into surrendering your credit card information, they'll have you in a vulnerable position. People are far more likely to continue with Simply Piano, if they already have your credit card, then if they don't. They are liars and deceivers, shady and unethical. I will NEVER sign up for anything that FALSELY advertises to be FREE, but they demand that I surrender my credit card information to them. I resent being played!

The Holy Bible teaches in Revelation 20:6 that the saints will help reign with Christ during the 1,000 year Millennium. If the Lord puts me in charge of anything, I have many plans. I will outlaw all legal fine print! It will be illegal to advertise anything in vivid colors, pleasurable music and exciting fanfare, but then cut your throat with tiny fine print so small that you need a magnifying glass to read and a lawyer to understand. No way, those crooked days will forever be gone!

I will also make it illegal for anyone to call anything "free" of a "gift" if you are required to do anything, even lift a finger to get it. I will ban lying. I have seen injustices again and again in the wicked corporate world. Countless times I have companies defraud, hurt and destroy people's lives for over 10 years, bilking BILLIONS out of their victims; and then when they're finally taken to court over a decade later, the court fines the company a mere three hundred million dollars in damages (pennies on the dollar when compared to the billions they made ruining people's lives). If the Lord gives me the authority, I won't ever allow a shady corporation to hurt people for years, while lawsuits are tied up in court by greedy lawyers, crooked judges and an incompetent legal system that is anything but just, honest or fair. Justice will be swift and the punishment will meet the crime! 

There is little true justice in this evil world. We've all seen that there are people who are above the law (e.g., the Bush family, the Clinton family, 9/11, OKC Bombing, HSBC banking scandal, et cetera). There are literally billions of injustices. I can personally list several hundred That I've seen in my lifetime. I don't have a living soul, but I hate the sin. I hate liars! Many people will lie, cheat, connive and steal to get your money. Proverbs 19:22, “The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.”

The Incredible Power Of A Wife Over Her Husband

1st Kings 21:25, “But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.”

1st Peter 3:1-4, “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.”

I chose two appropriate passages of Scripture, to show the contrast between a bad wife and a good wife. In the case of wicked Jezebel, the Bible says that she stirred up her husband's heart to do evil against the Lord. But in the case of the wife in 1st Peter 3:1-4, the Bible says that her submission to her husband is so powerful, that even if that husband refuses to obey God, he will listen to his wife because of her godly testimony. This is an amazing truth!

Ladies, you have much power over your man. A wife is her husband's significant other. God took one of Adam's ribs to create Eve. The Lord performed the first surgery in the Bible. Genesis 2:21-22, “And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” Like Adam, God could have simply created Eve without using one of Adam's ribs.

I humbly believe the reason why God took one of Adam's ribs, was to forever show the human race that in marriage a wife literally becomes united as one with her husband. Jesus seems to confirm this truth in Matthew 19:5-6, “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.” In God's sight, when a man and a woman are united in marriage, they now appear as one unit in God's sight, until death do they part.

Ladies, what kind of wife are you? Do you stir up your husband's anger? Do you discourage him from attending church because of your laziness at home, sassy mouth and tendency not to submit to his authority? How would you compare to the type of wife described in Proverbs 31? A rebellious heathen wife has the power to cause her husband to quit church and never go back. But a submissive godly wife has the power to encourage her husband to repent and live for Christ. It's your choice Ma'am. 1st Peter 3:1-4, “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.” There you have it directly from the inspired Holy Bible—a wife has the incredible power to steer her husband toward or away from God.

Proverbs 19:14, “House and riches are the inheritance of fathers and a prudent wife is from the LORD.”

Proverbs 12:4, “A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.”

God Never Gives Up On Anyone

2nd Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

Part of my website ministry as a Baptist preacher for the past 22 years, since 2002, has been to refute false teachers on the internet. As you can imagine, this has been a full-time job in my ministry. Most people are proud and stubborn, so religiously indoctrinated that no one can change their views. This is why I have often said, that the hardest part about getting somebody saved is first getting them lost. Proverbs 26:12, “Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.”

For this blog I want to do something different than usual. I'm going to share with you an actual unedited Facebook debate that I had today with a fella, who insisted that God gives up on sinners. It all started with the following meme that I uploaded in a new post. ...

CARLOS: When God gives unsaved people who repeatedly reject Him to reprobate minds like Romans 1:21-32 proclaims that's when God permanently rejects them that they are doomed for hell with no hope of salvation ALL BEFORE PHYSICALLY DYING.

ME: Kindly, I totally disagree with that teaching. Pastor Steven Anderson is guilty of hating sinners with his unbiblical rubbish (aka, his infamous "Reprobate Doctrine"). He errantly teaches from Romans 1 that God gives up on someone ever being saved. That is not true doctrine.

Nowhere does the Bible say in Romans 1 that God gives up on a lost sinner ever being saved. The Bible says God gives them over to their uncleanliness to dishonor their bodies between themselves. 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟭:𝟮𝟰-𝟮𝟱, “𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀, 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗻.” 2nd Peter 3:9 plainly teaches that God is not willing for ANY man to perish. As long as a human being is breathing air and their heart is still beating, there is hope for their salvation. God desires for ALL MEN to repent (change their mind) to be saved by faith alone without works.

CARLOS: no one doesn't disagree that God wants all to be saved.... Yes, it is true....however the Bible makes it totally clear that there is such thing as unsaved people crossing the line with God...how else do you think satan got to who he is? What else are you to make of Jesus telling the pharisses who blasphemed the Holy Ghost in Matthew 12 that committing such blasphemy causes them to never have forgiveness in neither THIS LIFE or the life to come? With all due respect, only someone who's really shallow on this subject believes Pastor Steven Anderson started this doctrine....what he said is true whether he ever spoke it or not....Christians have been conditioned to believe such a lukewarm view of hell thanks to "progressive modernist ideologies that have been undermining Christianity for centuries and you know exact what I'm referring to (contemporary Christianity)...

ME: I didn't say he started this doctrine. Pastor Steven Anderson has popularized the heresy of being a "reprobate" beyond hope of ever being saved. He is teaching blatant heresy to say that homosexuals cannot be saved. He dishonestly tries to convince people that he is preaching the same truth as Dr. Jack Hyles, but as I evidence in the following eye-opening article, Pastor Jack Hyles taught something VERY different about reprobates than does Pastor Anderson. I fully agree with Dr. Hyles, but disagree with Brother Anderson.

Yes, there is a point of no return that a lost sinner can cross, but it's not because God refuses to save them; but rather, it is simply because God knows that they will never be saved, so God gives them over to their unbelief and sin. 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟮:𝟱-𝟲, “𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱; 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀...” And as far as blaspheming the Holy Spirit, Jesus was simply refering to people who refuse to get saved, not to reprobates who are beyond the hope of the Gospel.

CARLOS: being reprobate literally means being beyond hope of ever being saved, that's what it means to be rejected and Jeremiah 6:30 tells us what reprobate, as the Bible uses it, means. 2 Timothy 3:7-8, 13, and Jude expound on reprobation and it never implies that those whom are unsaved that become reprobate still have a chance at salvation....."EVER LEARNING BUT NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH" (2 Timothy 3:7)....what's that "TRUTH"? That's Jesus Christ, who said He is the Way THE TRUTH and the life in John 14:6...in otherwords reprobates are never able to come to Christ. They're never able to come to realize they are a lost sinner, they are never able to see their need to be forgiven of sin, they are never able to see their need to have Christ in their lives since Romans 1 already stated such people don't want to retain God in their knowledge.

"As as far as blaspheming the Holy Spirit, Jesus was simply refering to people who refuse to get saved, not to reprobates who are beyond the hope of the Gospel".... Ok refusing to get saved entails more than just not having an interest for Christ, it entails having complete intolerance and having complete intolerance equates having hatred for God (which Romans 1 states reprobation involves being a hater of God in verse 30) and it does lead to being permanently rejected by God, otherwise nothing Jesus said in Matthew 12:30-32 was meant to be taken serious and Romans 1, 2 Timothy 3, Jude, or even the entire book of Revelation would be nonsense.

God takes things very seriously and He doesn't play around with the matters of salvation. The "death bed" conversions of someone who lived.his entire life unsaved, going so far as to deliberately disrespect and blaspheme God all his life, to where at the last few moments of his life he's crying out to God for mercy are really not of reality or even Biblical, and the thief on the cross is not a good example because people will blindly assert he was everything Romans 1:21-32 describes and be like "see? Not every God hating reprobate was beyond hope" (thereby insinuating scripture contradicts itself).... The problem with that assertion is that if the thief on the cross was a reprobate Christ wouldn't have told him that he would be with Him in paradise.

ME: Kindly, I totally disagree with you on this matter. I don't think God ever gives up on even the worst sinner being saved. Nobody is ever beyond the hope of the Gospel. I won't argue or debate with you on this, I think you're biblically wrong. The things you said are based on assumptions, not facts.

CARLOS: respectfully, you're disagreeing with The Bible in that regard because there's several instances where it's made clear that God DOES give up on CERTAIN UNSAVED INDIVIDUALS...from King Pharoah, to Balaam, to the sodomites (gee, if they weren't without hope the why did God drop fire and brimstone on them? He said He'd spare the population if He found even at least one righteous person) to the scribes and pharisses in Matthew 12 THAT SAID JESUS WAS POSSESSED WITH A DEVIL ...Matthew 23:33 He rips on them more basically saying to them "what makes you filthy people think you're gonna avoid going to hell now?" (Obviously not verbatim but this surely means the same thing)... This is almost the calvinistic approach you're taking even though Ive read your articles ripping on Calvinism because calvinists are the ones who say that those whom He elected for salvation before birth will get saved no matter what because they're eventually gonna submit to His predestined will.

ME: You are way off base. The Bible never says that God gave up on anybody. Jesus rebuked His disciples when they wanted to pray down fire and brimstone to destroy the Samaritans. 𝗟𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝟵:𝟱𝟱-𝟱𝟲, “𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱, 𝗬𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝘆𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲.”

Like the wayward New IFB, you are deceived to think that God actually wants His children to hate sinners, instead of the sin. Psalms 97:10 commands saints to "hate evil," not hate evil people. God loved the sinful world so much according to John 3:16, that He gave His only begotten Son to die for all of us. Yet, you and the wacky New IFB falsely claim that God gives up on hardened sinners and throws them under the bus. That is heresy!

I humbly think that your thinking is backwards friend. The problem has never been that God gives up on man; but rather, God in His omniscience knows that some people reach the point of no return, where they are never going to come to Christ; but this is not because God has given up on the unrepentant sinner, it is because they have given up on God.

Furthermore, God alone knows when a hardened sinner has crossed the line of no return, not you or the New IFB. For anyone to foolishly say that homosexuals have crossed the line and can never be born again is 100% blatant heresy! You are literally elevating yourself to the place of God, becoming a judge over that person, condemning them to Hell in your self righteousness. Who do you think you are, to deem any human being beside yourself as unreachable with the Gospel? You are NOT God!!!

The Bible plainly says in Jude 1:7 that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha as an EXAMPLE of what He would do to the ungodly in Hell, burn them! Kindly said, you are confusing God's justice, holiness and judgment with His mercy, love and grace.

I don't like to unfriend people, I really don't; but unfortunately, it is the only way I can silence the heretics, since Facebook doesn't allow me to turn off your commenting ability. So, Carlos, I have already unfriended you. I refuse to allow anyone to spread lies, heresy and false teaching on my ministry webpage, whether it be my blogs, websites, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, et cetera.

The Bible says in 𝗔𝗺𝗼𝘀 𝟯:𝟯, “𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱?” There's no reason for me to keep so-called "friends" who wrongly accuse me of going against the inspired Word of God, which is very harsh language. Clearly, you think that I am going against the Holy Bible, by my preaching that God never gives up on any sinner being reached with the Gospel.
Obviously we all have an appointed time to die (Hebrews 9:27), and at that moment one's opportunity to get saved will have forever ended.

God's mercy, love and grace have their limits for the disobedient sinner who refuses to rest in the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ to be saved; but I biblically contend that until each living sinner breathes their last breath, God desires for that individual to repent (change their mind) to come to Christ by faith as a needy sinner to be saved (2nd Peter 3:9).

END OF DEBATE

Dear reader, I run into religious fools like this all the time. Carlos is not a fool because he is ignorant, he remains ignorant because he is a fool. He mentioned Sodom's destruction in Genesis as an example of God giving up on people.

God sent His angels to deliver the righteous from Sodom before destroying that city with fire and brimstone. Previously, God had made an agreement with Abraham, that if he could find just 10 righteous (saved) people, the Lord would spare Sodom of being decimated. Abraham desperately tried no doubt, but utterly failed to find even 10 righteous people. Abraham's nephew Lot was the only bonafide righteous man that he could find (2nd Peter 2:7). We don't know if Mrs. Lot was saved or not, the Bible doesn't say. We do know that she looked back at Sodom, likely because her heart never left the city, and she was turned instantly into a pillar of salt.

God delivered Lot's entire family, who were willing to flee the city him and the angels, but no one else. This is NOT because God gave up on the sinners in Sodom; but rather, because God knew that they had permenently given up on Him. I find no evidence in the inspired Word of God, where God ever gave up on anybody if there was even a ray of remaining hope for their salvation. The Apostle Peter writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, said in 2nd Peter 3:9 that GOD IS NOT WILLING FOR ANY TO PERISH!!! So, for anyone to claim to the contrary, saying that God gives up of Sodomites—so we shouldn't bother sharing the Gospel with them because they are beyond hope—is totally unscriptural.

The most important truth I want you to see here, that Carlos totally ignored, is that God HADN'T given up on Sodom's sinners, even though the Lord was about to destroy the place. Abraham went to Sodom preaching the Gospel, desperately searching for 10 righteous people. Do you think that Abraham spoke softly and only told a few people what was about to happen? This was literally a matter of life and death. If Abraham could only find 10 righteous people, God would change His mind and spare Sodom from being annhilated. You had better believe that Abraham told everybody he could, running through the city, diligently warning the people of the imminent coming judgment.

So, God hadn't given up on them, the good Lord gave everyone in Sodom a chance to repent. It should be clear to you now, that it was the sinful people of Sodom who gave up on God, and not God who gave up on them. God knew (as only God knows) that no one in Sodom would have ever repented, otherwise I don't believe the good Lord would have destroyed the city. 

The same situation existed before the flood of Noah's day, when for 120 years Noah preached the Gospel, but not even one person got saved. Jesus foretold in Matthew 24:37-39 that in the end times, conditions in society will once again return as it was in the days of Noah. As we draw nearer to the End Times, fewer people will heed the truth. With all the false bibles, counterfeit plans of salvation, false prophets and ecumenical apostasy in the churches today, we already clearly see the conditions of Noah's time now developing.

I love you dear reader with Christ's uncondiitonal love, whoever you may be. I enjoy answering emails, so whatever may be burdening your heart, or any hankering Bible question(s) you may have, or perhaps you just need a Christian big brother while going through a tough time, I am your humble servant in Christ. Everything you share with me is kept confidential. I am here by God's grace to help others, which has always been my heart's sincere desire since I surrendered to serve God for the rest of my life at age 15. I got saved at age 13. I just want to be a blessing. Thank you for reading my ministry blog.

Beware Of The Jehovah's Witness Religious Cult

2nd John 1:9, “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.”

On their demonic website at JW.org, the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses (JW's) have an article titled: “Who Is Jesus?,” in which they teach the following lies:

1. JW's Falsely Teach That God Created Jesus. The Bible teaches that Jesus always existed (Hebrews 13:8). Jesus is the beginning and the end (Revelation 1:8; Hebrews 7:1-3).
2. JW's Falsely Teach That God Created All Things Through Jesus - All of the Devil's modern Bible revisions corrupt John 1:3, changing “by him” to “through him.” The inspired King James Bible rightly reads that Jesus directly made all things, but the Devil's modern perversions change the Bible to say all things were made through Jesus.
3. JW's Falsely Teach That Jesus Is Not Almighty God - The Bible teaches that Jesus is “the Almighty” (Revelation 1:8), God in the flesh (1st Timothy 3:16), and He always existed. Jesus was NOT a mere man, prophet or Michael the angel incarnate as JW's teach, He was God almighty in the flesh. Jesus claimed to be God (John 10:33, 14:1).
4. JW's Falsely Teach That Jesus Is Merely A Spirit Creature In Heaven - The Bible teaches that Jesus resurrected from the dead in a physical body. Doubting Thomas touched Jesus' hands and feet, to feel His scars. Jesus physically ascended in His resurrected body into Heaven (Acts 1:11). Jesus sits on a physical throne in Heaven on the right hand of God the Father (Colossians 3:1). JW's falsely teach that Jesus only raised up in spirit, but not in a physical body. That is why I always mention that Jesus resurrected bodily, that is, in a physical body. If you deny this truth, you are not saved, because Christ's physical resurrection is a part of the Gospel (Good News) by which all who believe it are born again.

This false religion was founded in 1874 by Charles Taze Russell, who was a 33rd degree Freemason occultist. If you research the cults, you will find that there is a common association with Freemasonry. This is true of Mormonism, Seventh-Day Adventists, Roman Catholicism, Christian Science and others cults. RUN from the dangerous cult of Jehovah's Witnesses...

1. JW's deny Jesus' bodily resurrection. They claim He exists in Heaven as a spirit.
2. JW's deny the triune nature of God. That is, they deny the Godhead (Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20; Colossians 2:9). In theology, the Godhead is termed, the “Trinity.” I prefer the biblical word, “Godhead.” Matthew 28:19-20 and Colossians 2:2, among numerous other passages, teach that God exists in the three persons of; namely, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is only one true and living God (Deuteronomy 6:4), but He exists as a Godhead. Colossians 2:2 calls the Godhead a “mystery.” So, don't try to figure God out because you'll never be able to do it my friend. God is God! He is the great, “I AM” (Exodus 3:14).
3. JW's teach that Michael and Lucifer are brothers. JW's teach that Michael came down to earth from Heaven as Jesus, and went back to Heaven to become Michael again.
4. JW's also deny that there is a Hell with burning fire where all Christ rejecters will be punished for eternity. Instead, they errantly teach that unbelievers will be annihilated. This is also what the Seventh-Day Adventists cult foolishly believe and teach, denying a literal burning lake of Fire for the wicked. The Bible says there is a literal place called Hell, where there is fire and brimstone (Revelation 14:11, 20:11-15, 21:8).
5. JW's don't believe in fighting in the military or having any national allegiance.
6. JW's refuse to celebrate Christmas and other holidays.
7. JW's refuse to get medically necessary blood transfusions.

These are but a few of the many reasons why you should avoid this cult. JW's elevate their cult over the inspired Word of God, as you can see for yourself in the following meme...

The Dangers of the Jehovah's Witness Cult

I Met With My Diabetes Doctor Today

𝗣𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗺𝘀 𝟵𝟬:𝟭𝟮, “𝗦𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺.”

I met with my diabetes doctor today. They did an A1C blood test while I waited. It only took a few minutes. She said she's never seen a patient with blood sugar as low as mine today, an A1C of 4.9%. She said that's great, but she cautioned me to keep an eye on my daily sugar. If it goes below 70 mg/dL I am supposed to let her know, to lower my dosage of Mounjaro. I kindly requested if she'll prescribe 15 mg of Mounjaro for the next 3 months and she agreed. I just have to monitor my sugar once per week. My blood pressure today was 132/83. That's pretty good.

I backslid a bit dietary over the past few months. It's not eating more processed foods that's so bad; but rather, the absence of fruits, beans and vegetables (high fiber foods) in one's diet that is really bad. Only 5% of American men get enough fiber in their diet. Among women, only 7% eat enough fiber. Processed foods are devoid of healthy fiber. WHAT YOU EAT TODAY, YOU WILL CRAVE TOMORROW.

Whereas I had reached 162.8 pounds (empty stomach) back in August 2024, I weighed 181.6 today (full stomach). So my true weight now (on an empty stomach) is about 175 pounds. So, I'm back on a healthy diet of more fruits and vegetables. I just drank a smoothie with some water, a couple raw brown eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, whole milk, a scoop of pure collagen, peaches, strawberries and cherries. Since it's a high protein smoothie, it will fill me up all afternoon. I fried about a dozen baby Bok Choy earlier (with garlic, brown sugar, salt, soy sauce and culinary peanut oil for flavoring). I bought a pack of a dozen thin cut ribeye steak. I cooked one of the slices today to go with the Bok Choy.

Yesterday morning, I drank a smoothie containing blueberries, blackberries, a yellow Kiki, one apple, some flax seeds, water and red grapes. I ate Bok Choy and ribeye for lunch yesterday too. I bought some all natural 100% fruit popsicles at Walmart, which I had for desert. For snacking I bought a couple boxes of Mary's Super Seed Gone Crackers, which are 100% whole grain. I put Mild Salsa and guacamole dip on them. Lord willing, by my next doctor's appointment in March, I want to get my weight down to at least 159 pounds on an empty stomach. THE KEY TO LOSING WEIGHT IS TO EAT. That goes 100% contrary to how most people think, including myself. But you must eat healthy foods! If you eat a high protein, high fiber, diet, you'll feel full and eat less. By eating healthy (high fiber, high protein, fruits, vegetables) you can steadily expect to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.

Sure, starving one's self is the fastest way to lose weight, but it's also the hardest thing to do. I've heard people say that if you stop eating, your body will go into "starvation mode" and slow down your metabolism and you won't lose weight. That may be true for a day or so, but trust me, if you stop eating the bottom will fall out on the scale in a few days and your weight WILL plummet at least 1/2 pound per day (2,000 calories). I've lost 5 pounds per week before by starving myself, but it's something that I've only been able to do three times throughout my entire lifetime. The other hundreds of times I tried to lose weight, I couldn't lose an ounce over the course of years. Millions of Americans struggle with the same obesity problem.

I know how to lose weight. My problem is that I get emotionally depressed not having a wife and being alone all the time. The holidays are especially difficult for me. I hate Christmas! I avoid the stores and radio channels that play Christmas music. It's depressing. Last summer I weighed 210 pounds. My A1C was 10.7%. The Mounjaro injections once a week helped me lose 40 pounds. It's like a miracle drug. Unfortunately, after 6 months my body became used to the drug and my hunger came back. I just need to get back into the habit of eating healthier foods.

I heard actor Nicole Kidman say something very helpful. When asked how she stays so skinny, she said that she easts 75% healthy foods, and 25% whatever she wants. I like what she said, and have learned that it works for me. My constant chronic neck pain and loneliness tempt me to eat more comfort foods. To be honest I don't like eating fruits and vegetables. I'm a city kid. But when I make myself eat (or drink) them, I always feel good afterwards, especially the next day overall. I bought a Nutri-Ninja mixer, which rotates at 24,000 RPM. I LOVE IT!!! I hate juicers, because they remove and waste all the beautiful healthy FIBER that your body so desperately needs. With the Nutri-Ninja, all the fiber stays in the drink, and you get LOTS OF FIBER!

Any kind of beans is a super foods. I bought several small bags of super healthy black beans, ready to eat. I just need to heat the bag. I season the beans with Adobo and other favorite flavors. The beans are very high in fiber and protein, making me feel satiated most of the day. I have felt better the past couple days, because I am eating healthy again, and Lord willing with His help I want to continue eating healthier foods. You don't have to eat all healthy foods, but just include them in your daily diet. I ate a nice homemade Romaine lettuce salad with Italian dressing on Wednesday. I learned from a Nephrologist (a kidney doctor) that most people errantly think if you drink a gallon of water every day, your kidneys will be healthy, but that's not true at all. He said the best thing you can do to have healthy kidneys is to eat green leafy vegetables at least a few times each week. I thought that was interesting.

Anyway, I just got back from my doctor's appointment and wanted to share my day with everyone. I stopped at the local Vietnamese deli and grocery store just 5 minutes away from where I live, and bought two bags of fresh baby Bok Choy. I ate some for lunch.

Look at these beautiful cashew nuts! ...

I also bought a big canister of fresh cashew nuts still in their shell coating (pictured above). They are big nuts! They taste delicious, lightly salted with nothing else added. I must have some squirrel in me, because I go nuts for nuts...lol.

Pictured below is powdered collagen from cattle hides. It's an excellent source of pure protein. I bought a big 2-pound bag and add 1 scoop to some of my smoothies.

The collagen goes well with milk, peaches, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, et cetera. I don't use collagen with berries, apples or Kiwis. To each his own. Walmart sells smoothie packs. You get 4-packs per bag. They come in various flavors, which include cut up fruits and vegetables. The bags are very convenient for making smoothies. Stuff like this didn't exist 40 years ago. We are so blessed (and spoiled) in America. God is more than good.

Thank you to those who prayed for me, and who keep me in your prayers to our good and faithful Creator. I love you all with God's unconditional love. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘀 𝟰:𝟭𝟴, “𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆.”
