Why Satan's Lordship Salvation Is Spreading Like Wildfire

Jude 1:1-4, “Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

I made a truthful meme this week and uploaded it to social media (please share it on social media)...

Damnable Heresy Taught At Pensacola Christian College

A ministry friend shared the above meme and sent me this encouraging message on Facebook:

That stuff you posted about that college was excellent, I reposted it and I already got people upset with me. The truth is the truth, if they don't like it they can delete me as friend. I'm not posting stuff to try to get people upset. It's easier to not say nothing and keep harmony but I got to post the truth; that's why this Lordship Salvation is taking over, because people don't say anything because they just want to get along with everybody. Like you said, God wants us to speak out against false teaching. —a ministry friend of mine on Facebook

Bravo! Sadly, 99% of churchgoers today blindly support Bob Jones University and Pensacola Christian College. Both institutions are corrupt, now preaching another gospel of Lordship Salvation. If anyone (like me) dares to call them out, we are shunned, criticized, demonized and ostracized. You are correct, it is because we as believers don't contend for the faith. That is, we refuse to take a stand against heresy and sin, for whatever reason, the problem grows worse.

That is why we are exhorted in Hebrews 3:13, "But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." The longer people tolerate false doctrine and sin, the more accustomed we become to it, and then before you know it we are in over our heads. That is PCC today. They are over their heads in Lordship Salvation, and too blind and arrogant to see it. Jesus called the corrupt church at Laodicea 5 things: naked, blind, miserable, wretched and poor (Revelation 3:17). Sadly, that is Pensacola Christian College today!

The tragic reason why the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation is spreading today like wildfire is simply because God's redeemed children are indifferent and complacent. Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Christian men are commanded and expected to earnestly contend for the faith.

Sadly, 99% of believers today couldn't care less about right doctrine, the accuracy of the Gospel, or the purity of God's inspired Word. They're more interested in church barbeques, getting along with everyone, playing church and living the Christian life; but they don't want to suffer reproach for the cause of Christ, they don't want to be put outside the gate with Jesus (2nd Timothy 3:12). Human nature is strange and annoying at best!

Lordship Salvation: The Danger Of Following The Crowd

Science has proven that humans tend to follow the crowd. This is extremely dangerous when you consider that one false prophet can damn millions of people to the Lake of Fire forever. ...

The bandwagon effect is a cognitive bias that causes people to think or act a certain way if they believe that others are doing the same. For example, the bandwagon effect can cause someone to adopt a certain political ideology, because they see that other people in their social circle have adopted the same ideology. —The Bandwidth Effect: Why People Tend To Follow The Crowd

The proudful corrupt leadership at Bob Jones University and Pensacola Christian College combined have influence over tens of thousands of religious people. That is frightening when we stop to consider that both institutions are wrong on God's simple plan of salvation. Lordship Salvation is of the Devil, not the free grace Gospel. PCC and BJU are teaching that same damnable heresy as the Jehovah's Witness cult. I'm not an expert in psychology, but I have eyes and a brain and I've read article by people who are experts in psychology. It is part of our human nature to follow the crowd (aka, having a herd mentality). That is why over 95% of churchgoers today have succumbed to the Devil's fallacy of Lordship Salvation.

The reason why Lordship Salvation and other heresies are spreading like wildfire in the Bible colleges and churches today is simply because God's children don't care. Nobody wants to make waves. Most pastors are afraid to go it alone and offend their ministry peers. I am shocked when I hear a foolish preacher accepting Lordship Salvation as being within the realm of orthodox theology. Listen folks, you either must turn away from your sinful bad habits to get to Heaven, or you do not, but it absolutely cannot be both! The truth is that Jesus Christ paid our debt of sin through Calvary's cross, by the precious blood that He shed (1st Peter 1:18-19).

Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty! Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith. Turning away from sinful ways would be a work. Faith puts all of the merit where it belongs, on the object of our faith, Jesus and His work. If to “repent” means to forsake our sinful ways TO BE SAVED, but Jesus already paid for our sins by dying on the cross, then what are we repenting from? The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.

The Satanic Anglican Church Of England

Leviticus 20:13, “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”

Before I say anymore, let me say that I love people. I love everyone regardless of their gender, ethnicity, age, social status, et cetera. No one can be right with God and hate anyone. Having said that, the inspired Holy Bible is very clear that homosexuality is a sin in God's sight. The Church of England and The Anglican Church are virtual synonyms in the UK. However, outside of the UK, depending the the church splits are called Anglican, Anglican Church in North America, and the Episcopal Church.

I am tired of liberals and sodomites pointing out that the Old Testament imposed capital punishment on eating lobster. God established three different types of laws in the Old Testament: moral, civil and ceremonial laws. Moral laws apply 24/7 (all the time). Civil laws govern how we get along with our neighbours (our responsibilities and liabilities). Ceremonial laws were given by God only for the Jews living in Palestine under Mosaic law. Since the Sabbath Day was a ceremonial law, it no longer applies today (Colossians 2:14-16).

Tragically, many churches are turning apostate, such as the Church of England. ...

Church of England paves way for ceremonies to welcome trans people

"This new guidance provides an opportunity, rooted in scripture, to enable trans people ... to mark their transition in the presence of their church family," said Julian Henderson, who worked on the guidelines

By Lin Taylor | December 2018

LONDON, December 11 (Openly) - Transgender members of the 85-million-strong Anglican faith community will now have the support of the Church of England, after it released guidelines on Tuesday for ceremonies to welcome them.

The Church of England, where the Anglican tradition originated, has in recent years moved towards greater acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) people, including addressing homophobic bullying in schools.

The public ceremonies aim to affirm the new identity of trans worshippers, according to guidelines published on the Church's website on Tuesday.

Julian Henderson, head of the committee that produced the guidelines, said the decision was "rooted in scripture".

"We are absolutely clear that everyone is made in the image of God and that all should find a welcome in their parish church," said Henderson in a statement.

"This new guidance provides an opportunity, rooted in scripture, to enable trans people ... to mark their transition in the presence of their church family," he added.

That is very sinful and wrong by the Church of England! Homosexuality is a horrible sin which the inspired Holy Bible condemns. Also, please read Romans chapter one, which clearly condemns the homosexual deathstyle. I do not hate or bash homosexuals or transgendered people, I love them with God's unconditional love. We should never accept the sin with the sinner, nor reject the sinner with the sin. Many religious people refuse to make a distinction between sin versus the sinner, so they just hate everyone who is living an openly sinful life. That is wrong! Most churches and Bible colleges today only focus on moral authority, while woefully lacking love and compassion for hurting sinners. That is why the churches are dying today! Albeit, we as saints should never accept unrepentant sinners in good standing into the churches. This is 100% biblical (1st Corinthians 5:1-5).

God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. I heard singer Elton John call for all governments around the world to ban organized religion, which he sees as a major threat to the homosexual community everywhere. Well, Elton may have an incredible amount of influence because of his musical talent here on earth, but he is a big zero in the eyes of Heaven. Elton is an ungodly avowed atheist! Good luck in eternity Elton! What saith the Scripture? John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

On their own website the Church of England presents a false plan of salvation. Here is their ridiculous fake plan of salvation...

'The most important decision any person can ever make is to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. It’s the best thing anyone can do.' SOURCE

What saith the Scripture?

1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

The Bible way to Heaven is through faith alone in the Gospel (Good News) that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God; who died on a cross to pay for our sins, was buried, and three days later He bodily resurrected from the dead.

In sharp contrast, nowhere does the inspired Word of God teach us to become a “disciple” of Jesus to get to Heaven. Judas followed Jesus, being one of His very apostles; yet, Judas died in his sins and went to burn in Hell forever. Jesus said in John 6:70 that Judas had a devil in him. Judas never trusted in Christ! Judas merely became a Christ follower, like so many hellbound religious people today (Matthew 7:21-23).

The wicked Anglican Church of England preaches a counterfeit plan of salvation. No one has ever been saved by following Jesus. Thousands of people in the Bible followed Jesus for a handout of food, but not because they believed on Him. John 6:26, “Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.” Multiples of religious people only attend church for selfish reasons (Matthew 15:7-8). Most pastors only join the clergy to make money. That is why we see women, homosexuals and atheists making a living as pastors in these perilous times. There is no fear of God in this perverse generation.

Dear reader, please FLEE from the apostate Church of England and their damnable heresies. It shouldn't come as a surprise to a saint of God, that in a counterfeit church their leadership would embrace the sodomite community in their unrepentant state of rebellion against God. I believe everyone should be allowed to attend church. How else can we help sinners (lost or saved) if we refuse to embrace them with Christ's love?

Having said that, kindly, pastors are biblically obligated preach hard against all sin, including the abominable sin of homosexuality (Isaiah 58:1). 1st Timothy 5:20, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.” God's wrath is upon any pastor and church who openly welcome sodomites into their congregation, but never a word is preaching from the pulpit about the evils of homosexuality, adultery and the lusts of the flesh.

It is shameful that the Church of England is openly embracing the homosexual community in their unrepentant state. Open sin ought never be tolerated in any church. God doesn't make mistakes. Genesis 1:27 says that God created humanity male and female, nothing in between. God doesn't make mistakes. The entire transgender movement is of the Devil. Genesis 1:27, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

John 7:7, “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” When did Jesus testify against the sins of the world? Remember, Jesus' name is THE WORD OF GOD (Revelation 19:13). Jesus is the Word made incarnate, that is, in the flesh (John 1:1-3, 14). Evangelist John R. Rice (1895-1980) used to rightly say that Jesus and the Bible are “twins.” Jesus is the Living Word; the Bible is the Written Word. That is why we read in John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”

The Fallacies Of A Young Earth

Psalms 102:25, “Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.”

The psalmist plainly acknowledges that the earth itself is old. David penned these inspired Words from God at approximately 1500 BC. It blows my mind that anyone could actually believe that dinosaurs roamed the earth 5,000 years ago, or that the earth is flat. Science tells us that dinosaurs lived between 60 to 220 million years ago, and that the earth is 4.6 billion years old and the universe is 13 billion years old. I humbly think this is the truth. The Bible teaches an old earth if you rightly divide the Word of Truth.

Here's the notes from Pastor Younce's YouTube video, "Part 4 - The Fallacy Of A Young Earth."

Part 4 - The Fallacy Of A Young Earth

Some Notes: Genesis One, "Created" and "Made." These two words, translated from two different Hebrew words, are very important in understanding God's Original Creation and His Remodeling of the Earth after its judgment. Let's examine each word and its significance in respect to the earth. A. "Created." The Hebrew word for "created" is 'bara." This word first appears in Genesis, Chapter One. It always means the instant, miraculous creation of something which had no previous existence in any form whatsoever. The three places "bara" (created) appears in Genesis One are as follows:

(1). Genesis 1:1 — "In the beginning God CREATED (bara) the heaven and the earth." They have never existed before this.

(2). Genesis 1:21 — "And God CREATED (bara) great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good." (They never existed before this.)

(3). Genesis 1:27 — "And God CREATED (bara) man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female created he them." (Man never existed before this.) B. "Made." The Hebrew word for made is "asah." This word means "to release from restraint, to make, to allow, or to assemble.

The late Dr. Harry Rimmer, D.D., SC.D., had this to say concerning the Hebrew for "made." "This is the word that would be used to describe the production of a piece of furniture by a carpenter, or the assembling of a motor by a skilled mechanic. In the case of the carpenter it would not be proper to say he had "created" a table: he merely manufactured the article out of materials which were already in existence. It would be equally wrong to say that the mechanic had created a motor which he had (only) assembled."

Note: When we see in English the words "made" and "created," they have basically the same meaning to the average person, which has caused much confusion; but, not so in the Hebrew. In the Hebrew, they have distinctively different meanings, the knowledge of which is imperative to understanding Genesis, Chapter One. This, the young earth advocates refuse to accept! 

Therefore, the first four days of Genesis are not an Original Creation, but a remodeling process of already existing materials that had been held in restraint or bondage. That is why the Holy Spirit used the precise Hebrew words brought into our English language as "made" and "let," i.e. or "allow."

Fallacies Of A Young Earth | 2 | 3 | 4 (Dr. Max Younce exposes the lie that the earth is young)

Country Singer Toby Keith Has Died

John 3:1-3, “There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Sadly, Toby Keith died on Monday, February 5th, 2024 of stomach cancer at age 62. ...

Toby Keith Covel (July 8, 1961 – February 5, 2024), known professionally as Toby Keith, was an American country music singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor. In the 1990s, he released his first four studio albums—Toby Keith (1993), Boomtown (1994), Blue Moon (1996) and Dream Walkin' (1997)—and Greatest Hits Volume One under Mercury Records. These albums all earned gold or higher certification and had several top ten singles, including his chart-topping debut "Should've Been a Cowboy." ~Wikipedia

If you search the internet for Toby Keith's religious and faith, you'll find a lot about his faith during his battle with stomach cancer since 2021. Faith in what? Faith in who? Some websites assume Toby had faith in Jesus, but I triple dog dare you to find where Toby says so. I couldn't find Toby's Christian testimony anywhere online. Mr. Keith did mock Jesus, saying that if he were Jesus he'd run around with the wrong crowd and never be bored. That is blasphemy!

Millions of Americans love Toby Keith so much that they can only see him as in Heaven having a good time. But unless Toby Keith was a born again child of God, he went to Hell forever. I don't know where Toby went. Some people are labeling him as a Christian, but every hellbound Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, Roman Catholic and Seventh-Day Adventist falsely claim to be Christians. No one who claims to be a "Christian" is truly going to Heaven unless they've been born again, which is by faith alone without works in Jesus Christ.

It bothers me immensely when someone dies, and everybody talks about that persons "faith" while dying. Where was Toby's faith when he was living large on top of the world? Sadly, Keith spent his life glorifying the sins of fornication, drunkenness, irresponsible reckless behavior, and other sins in his music. If he was saved, Toby won't have any rewards in Heaven. Toby left behind an amassed fortune of $400,000,000, but couldn't take a single penny with him into eternity. I sure hope Toby had Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.

I don't condemn people. I am the biggest sinner that I know (and so are you if you're honest with yourself, because you know yourself better than anyone). My only concern is whether he died in Christ (Revelation 14:13), or in his sins (John 8:24). It saddens me when someone dies and it is obscure whether they went to Heaven or Hell. Only Toby and God know where he is now. I didn't write this blog to criticize a dead man; but rather, to warn others that you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God unless you get born again.

When he was younger, Toby didn't embrace his faith, he glorified sin and shame. Then when he was diagnosed with stomach cancer, all of a sudden he needs God. We're all guilty to some degree of doing that. We've all treated God like garbage at times. I am guilty too. I've never heard Toby mention the name of Jesus even once throughout his life, except to blaspheme and mock Jesus in his stupid songs. What saith the Scripture?

Ecclesiastes 11:9, “Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.” 

Ecclesiastes 12:1, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;”

I am sad for Toby Keith's family. I watched an interview he made weeks before Toby died, in which he looked terrible. He lost a bunch of weight and looked sickly. The cancer, surgery, chemotherapy and prescription drugs really did a number on his health. No one can escape death. When it's our time to go, all the surgeons and medical experts in the world that one can afford cannot extend our life (Hebrews 9:27).

If Toby Keith's faith was merely in God, then he is burning in Hell right now. The Bible warns that even the demons believe in God, but they tremble knowing the judgment that is to come (James 2:19). I hope Toby was saved, but I have my doubts. You can hear him talk about his faith in this interview. When the woman asks him about his faith, Toby says he believes God is his Creator. He says that he has faith in God. Sadly, not once does he mention the precious name of Jesus Christ. You know, the guy who died on a cross to pay for our sins!!! John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Toby Keith Opens Up About His Battle With Cancer And Career

I'm sorry if it offends anyone, but after watching this video of a dying man, who doesn't seem to know Jesus Christ as His personal Savior, I humbly don't think Toby Keith went to Heaven. The world is full of religious people, but they have never been born again. My father was right, who said religion is the worst thing that ever happened to this world. Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born again.

Big deal if Toby believed God created him. Big deal if he leaned more about his faith in God as a dying man. The $64,000 question is: Did Toby Keith ever get born again?

The Crystal Clear Gospel of Jesus Christ

The Dark Truth About Pensacola Christian College

Romans 16:17-18, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”

The Dark Truth Behind PCC - Part 1

The Dark Truth Behind PCC - Part 2

The Dark Truth Behind PCC - Part 3

The Dark Truth Behind PCC - Part 4

According to Benjamin, ninety-nine percent of PCC's teachers are incompetent. I couldn't agree more! I do know that PCC are academic types, not church builders, and they woefully lack compassion for people. PCC is a theologically dangerous cult because they preach a counterfeit gospel of Lordship Salvation. I hope you will watch all of Benjamin's shocking videos, how PCC forced him to pay $3,000 for classes that he never took. I detest the ungodly hypocrites at PCC!!! If I weren't mature as a Christian who has been born again for 44 years, I'd never step foot into any church again because of the horrible way that I was mistreated, crapped on and abused by Pastor Jeff Redlin at Campus Church (who is on an ego power trip).

Have you ever heard about Mahatma Gandhi? Please read what he said:

“𝗜’𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀.” —𝗠𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗮 𝗚𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗵𝗶

Now take a look at why he said this statement! Just like PCC terribly mistreated me as a human being, so did professed Christians mistreat Mahatma Gandhi. Unfortunately, Mahatma was not a Christian, and he no doubt died in his sins and went to to Hell because of rotten self righteous hypocrites like the PCC cult. PCC is pulling on the same rope as the Devil.

You Will Leave This World How You Entered, With Nothing

1st Timothy 6:7-12, “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”

I was listening to Pastor J. Vernon McGee (1904-1988) today in my car as I drove to go walking at Community Maritime Park in Pensacola. I wore my 20 pound weight vest, which I hadn’t worn since 2021 on Guam. I’ve been losing a lot of weight lately (24 pounds in just 3 months). Today I weighed 178.2 pounds on my digital scale. Amen! In September of 2023 I weighed 202 pounds. I’ve been taking prescription Mounjaro since late October, which is an amazing drug. I really like it. It’s a one week injection from a pen. I get 4 pens at a time. I started with 2.5 mg pens the first month; then 5.0 mg pens the second month, and now 7.5 mg pens. 15 mg is the highest dosage, but I don’t think my doctor will be raising my dosage any higher than 7.5 mg, because the drug is working well to control my glucose level.

Anyway, I was listening to Pastor McGee teach from Ecclesiastes chapter 5 and 6. He said that the rich man can only eat 3 meals a day, the same as the poor man. The rich man can pay for all the doctors he wants, but he won’t live any longer than the poor man. The rich man cannot enjoy seeing a sunset any more beautiful than the poor man can. The rich man eats food that grows from the same field as the poor man does. The rich man can own 15 houses in different countries, but he can only sleep in one bed at a time. He can only live in one home at a time, while the rest sit idle uninhabited by him.

Dear reader, this life is very short in lieu of eternity. When a man or woman is at their prime at age 35 and they feel on top of the world, just 40 years later they are 75 years old and well beyond the age that one is considered a senior citizen. My point is that if you are a young person, you’ll grow old before you know it; then like me you’ll look back over your life and wonder where the years went so quickly. Lord willing, I’ll turn 57 on March 5th, 2024. I feel like a teenager in my soul. My body feels about 80 sometimes due to my chronic neck pain. God is so good and I love Him as my dear Savior, Friend and Lord!

I follow a handful of preachers on X (formerly known as Twitter). I also follow Paul Stanley of the rock band KISS. I don’t support their wicked lifestyles, nor do I approve of their demonic rock music. I follow him out of curiosity, to see what he promotes and how he thinks. Paul is now in his 70’s, as is also his band peer Gene Simmons (real name: Chaim Witz). Today on X Paul shared a post of himself holding a $1,000 bottle of expensive wine that he was drinking. He said that he worked hard and deserved it. Sadly, Paul is Jewish in his religious beliefs and a Christ rejecter. Unless he repents of his unbelief and trusts Jesus alone as his Savior, he will go to Hell when he dies.

Paul is living large, having a net worth of $200,000,000. His food doesn’t taste any better than mine. His bed is no softer than mine. He can only sleep in one bed at a time. He cannot eat any more food than I do. He may be able to travel the world, buy more expensive possessions, enjoy massive fame, et cetera. But he is living on borrowed time, just like everyone else on the planet. I thank God for the precious blood of Jesus that washed away all my since when I was 13 years old in 1980. I simply knew that I was a sinner, and I trusted Jesus as my personal Savior; believing that He died on a cross to pay for my sins, and that He was buried, but then resurrected from the dead three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).

You will leave this world exactly how you entered into it, with nothing. I like the following Bible verse from 1st Timothy 6:12, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” That is very interesting. We know that we were born into this world with nothing, and we know that we will die taking nothing out of this life with us.

The Apostle Paul exhorts Timothy to fight the good fight of faith, and to lay hold on eternal life. That means to make the best use of our remaining time here on earth as saints. We already have eternal life through faith in Christ. Paul is saying to lay hold on our eternal life, so that we can be used of God for the cause of Christ. Every believer should be a soulwinner. We all have a duty to share the Gospel with lose sinners. Tragically, less than 1% of Christians today care about sharing the Gospel. This is primarily the fault of pastors for not teaching and inspiring their church congregation to share the Gospel. Everything rises and falls on leadership.

Dear reader, are you born again? If not, you need to take care of that immediately, because today could be the last day of your life. And if you are saved, you should be serving God. When is the last time you shared the Gospel with a lost sinner? I witnessed to my doctor and her physician’s assistant.

By God's Grace, I Am Doing The Best That I Can

I am trying to do my best, God knows my heart. A woman on Facebook, one of my former "friends" got mad at me this week and not only unfriended me, she has blocked me out entirely. She is an older woman from the Philippines. She told me a couple years ago that she is a female preacher. Oh boy!

She once scolded me for admitting in a post that I missed church because I felt horrible in neck pain, with burning nerves, so I turned away from the church a block away and drove back home. I unfriended her for condemning me, because I don't need that kind of criticism. I'm hurting enough already.

So she sent me another friend request and I gladly accepted her back. I always accept people back, because I am a forgiving person, just as God has forgiven me for Christ's sake (Ephesians 4:31-32). Anyway, she wanted to chat with me the other night. The Philippines are 12 hours ahead of Pensacola. So when I am online looking for her at 8 pm my time in Florida, it is 10 am by her. But each night she would come online at 11 pm my time, which is 1 pm her time the next day. I told her that I need to go to sleep.

She got angry because I didn't prioritize HER, as if the world centers around HER. So now she has blocked me out, so I cannot even apologize or try to work out the time differences so we can chat. Moreover, I do not like chatting. I just don't. I suffer in horrible burning nerves, constant horrible neck pain, radiating pain down both arm and legs (80% my right side), and the drug side-effects do affect me.

At present I am taking 7 different prescription drugs. For my pain I am taking OxyContin, Percocet and Gabapentin. For my diabetes I am taking Mounjaro and Metformin. For my high cholesterol I am taking Icosapent Ethyl. For high triglycerides (mine were 2,064) I am taking Atorvastatin. And to sleep at night I take over the counter Benadryl. Thankfully, the drugs have been helping me.

At my last doctor's appointment in late December 2023, my triglycerides were down to 242 from 2,062 in June 2023. My bad cholesterol went from 377 to 120 mg/dl. My A1c went from 10.7 down to 7.6. My weight went from 202 in September down to 190.8 in December. I weighed this morning at 178.8 pounds.

So far so good. My diabetes should all be gone in late March at my next doctor's appointment. The more weight I lose, the lower my A1C goes. The challenge will be to maintain a proper weight after I stop taking the Mounjaro which is easier said than done (at least it always has been for me). I'm taking 7.5 mg of Mounjaro, which is a weekly injection. I really like the drug. The same exact drug is marketed for weight loss under the brand name ZepBound.

And may I say, please don't write to me with a bunch of suggested alternative remedies. I am so sick and tired of well-meaning people scolding me for taking prescription drugs, while the things they suggest are useless at best. It seems that everybody and their dog has some magic cure that I need to try (e.g., cannabis oil, rubbing ginger on my neck, consuming collagen powder, wearing a magnet around my neck, fasting, avoiding red meat, acupuncture, all types of spices and natural supplements, being filled with the Holy Spirit, et cetera). It never ends. So please, enough!

I've said all that to say this. I simply cannot always keep up with everything that I wish I could do, or even what I am supposed to do. I started to paint my garage last year. It's still not done. I might feel like finishing it this year, or not...lol. Being in chronic pain all the time stifles one's ambition to do anything, or go anywhere. I have to make myself go to church. And then people get offended if I walk by and don't greet them. My mind is just not there sometimes.

Kindly said, the Filipina woman who unfriended and blocked me out on Facebook, woefully lacks understanding. I have learned the hard way that I can tell someone a hundred times how my pain adversely affects me, but my words fall on empty ears 99% of the time, because they cannot even begin to understand what I am suffering through. Humans by nature are selfish, so we always think everything is about us, but it's really not about us. She likely thinks I just didn't want to chat with her, but that is not the case at all. I am just hurting in physical pain, burning nerves, tension in my neck, and taking a bunch of medications. I am doing fine in the Lord, I'm just always a bit tired and need to take it easy.

Like I said, when I looked for her to chat at 8 pm, she wasn't there. But she wants to chat with me at 11 pm at night, when I usually go to sleep between 9 pm and 11 pm. I had just checked in at Facebook to see what was going on, but she wanted to chat. I didn't feel like staying up until after midnight, so I kindly told her that I needed to go to sleep. Now she's angry at me and hates my guts. Women! I'm being a bit facetious. I am praying for her. I will gladly accept her friend request if she sends me another one, but if not, that is fine with me too.

I am only writing this post for the rest of you, my remaining social media friends. I am bodily hurting all the time, so please don't be offended if I don't reply to your message, or I don't feel like chatting, because I just don't. I always respond to emails, usually the same day, but please be patient if I don't. By God's grace I have kept up with everything fairly well, but lately I just don't feel like doing anything.

I only go to church every other week, with exceptions, because it is torture for me to sit through a church service while in pain. All week I have felt sharp razorblade pain shooting down my right leg, and into my right arm. The radiating pain as I type is terrible in my right leg. It all comes from my neck injury and damaged spinal cord from getting rear-ended by a church bus in 1992, and then I had a long fall at work in 2005. It's called radicular pain.

Thankfully to God, I feel good overall from losing a lot of weight, but the neck related pain is the same. I got my weight down to 146.0 pounds in 2017. My neck pain was the same. My nerves feel like they are burning throughout my entire upper body. Sometimes it's not so bad, but at other times it feels overwhelming.

Since 2004, I've met with 8 neurosurgeons, an orthosurgeon, a neurologist and multiple doctors. There's nothing more anyone can do, except Jesus (Philippians 3:21). I was desperate to get medical relief for the first 7 years, but then after my second failed neck surgery, and being told by doctors to leave well enough alone lest I end up worse off, I had to accept the sad fact in 2011 that I have a permanent injury. And it's not like I can just request more surgery. The insurance company won't pay for anything unless a licensed surgeon deems it medically necessary. I've already had two major neck surgeries.

I contacted the Laser Spine Institute of Florida on my own in 2011, and mailed them my MRI's. Because their laparoscopic techniques are not approved by the medical industry, the insurance won't pay for it. They quoted me $19,000 for the surgical room, and another $6,000 for the surgery. And there's no guarantee that their minimally invasive neck surgery procedure will help me (plus there are significant risks involved if things go wrong).

I am explaining all this for the rest of you, just in case anybody else wants to freak out in anger and unfriend me (I originally wrote this for Facebook), because I don't feel like chatting, meeting with you in public, or I fail to reply to a message that I sincerely missed. I am a scatter brain sometimes! So please pardon me if I seem less than friendly at times. I assure you that it is only because I am suffering in horrible agonizing neck pain and bodily discomfort.

And as you can imagine, I do get depressed often from it all. Not having a wife is both a blessing and a curse, depending on how I choose to look at it. Every normal man wants a woman! I sure do. My former wife cruelly abandoned and divorced me in 2006. I would like to get remarried, but I cannot handle fighting and the trauma and drama that some marriages have (some more than others). By God's grace, I live a quiet and peaceful life, just the way I need it to be. I pray for God's will to be done. I try to maintain the proper heart's attitude of Job, who exclaimed in 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝟭𝟯:𝟭𝟱, "𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗲, 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺: 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺."

It Is My Privilege To Labor For Jesus Christ

My life doesn't center around Facebook. I have 8 ministry websites and 8 blogs. Last week I received a DMCA complaint from the bookstore at Bible Baptist Church in Pensacola, where Dr. Peter S. Ruckman (1921-2016) was their longtime pastor. The bookstore was upset that I am freely giving away Dr. Ruckman's books online, so I had to remove all of them. It is sad how greedy professed Christians have become. The Lord sees all the work behind the scenes that I need to do each day to maintain my website ministry. As the internet technology changes, so do the requirements for my webpages. At the time I began my ministry in 2022, hardly anyone was using mobile devices, but today about 60% of my web visitors are using mobile devices. I have over 13,000 web pages on my 8 websites, which all need to be updated with code to make them Mobile Friendly (i.e., able to be read nicely on mobile gadgets). 

For example: Here is a webpage that I haven't updated yet.

And here is one that I have.

You can see the drastic difference, if you are using a mobile device like a mobile phone or i-pad. So far I have completed about 2,000 webpages. I have much work still to do! Praise God anyhow! God knows that I usually work over 60 hours every week on my website ministry, and have done so for as long as I can remember. There are countless weeks where I've worked much more. On countless occasions over the past 22 years, I got so caught up in my ministry work that I worked straight through the night, working 37 hours straight. I am not boasting, I give God alone ALL the praise and credit, for without Jesus (who is the Vine) we can do nothing (John 15:5). 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟮:𝟭𝟯, "𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲."

I consider my longtime web visitors part of my family. Many people have come and gone over the past 22 years, since the Lord put the desire into my heart to start a website ministry. I've been threatened with lawsuits umpteen times, vehemently hated, had umpteen DMCA complaints filed against me, maliciously slandered with lies, had large portions of my website deleted on the server without knowing who did it (my 911 Folder kept getting deleted in the years after 911, but Netfirms web hosting denied any involvement), I've had my entire website terminated and had to go find a different webhosting company (it took me 130 hours just to reupload my Jesus-is-Savior website), I've had rogue malicious Denial Of Service Attacks from China against my website (which caused KnownHost to shutdown my website for a time), I've received thousands of hateful emails, et cetera. I've been through a lot of battles over the years. By God's grace, I've invested over $15,000 into my ministry and over 50,000 hours of time. At present I am paying a little over $1,000 per year for my websites. I pay KnownHost $980 a year for VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting. I get four processors, which ensures fast webpage load times for my web visitors. I get 150 GB of server space to use. I'm using most of it.

In the old days before 2013, when I only had Shared Web Hosting, there were constant website outages. Pictures weren't loading. Things were horrible. But instead of sharing a server computer with thousands of others users, now I pay for my own private server computer, which guarantees me the resources that my web visitors need. I do this for Jesus Christ my Savior and God, because I love Him dearly for giving His life for me on the cross (Romans 5:6-9).

The Day I Almost Died

Anyway, I sincerely thank God for giving me the opportunity to live long enough to have an international ministry, to reach others for Christ. In the late 1990's I almost died, when I car fell on top of me while working under it. I couldn't breathe, but had enough room to scream for help. In another 60 seconds I would have blacked out and died. Thanks be to God, there was a black man walking down the street who heard my cries. There was no one else around.

I sometimes cringe when I stop to think that if he had been a racist man, he could have left my white butt under that car to die, and walked away laughing (there are horrible people like that in the world). I love that black man, but don't even know his name. He didn't even know how to jack up the car, so with gasps of air I told him what to do. When the weight of that Ford Toranado front wheel drive car lifted off of me, I had a second lease on life. I had been replacing a defective starter. I used jack stands, but foolishly didn't set the car's weight down upon the stands. So when my creeper snagged on a pebble, and I pulled on the car to overcome to pebble, I actually toppled the car and the jack stands, and the weight of the car came down on top of me.

I went to the hospital for x-rays. Thankfully nothing was broken, but the next day my entire upper body was black, blue and yellow. I had almost died, crushed by a heavy car. I couldn't even life myself up to get out of bed. The pain was so bad that it brought tears to my eyes. I had to roll onto my side, and then try to sit upright. I really should have died that day, as have thousands of men while working under cars, but it wasn't my time to die yet. I believe God had a hand in that, but I don't know. I am careful not to make assumptions. Ecclesiastes 9:11 does teach that Time and Chance happens to all. Regardless, I thank God for allowing me to live, if nothing else so I could start my website ministry since 2002.

I pray for that man from time to time, wondering if I will see him in Heaven. If I do, anything I own is his. He can have whatever his heart desires of my rewards in Heaven. By God's grace I will turn 57 years old on March 5, 2024. I cannot believe how quickly the years have passed since I was a kid in the 1970's. By the way, I still love the old arcade games that I grew up with: Play Classic SPACE INVADERS | GALAGA | DONKEY KONG | PACMAN | ASTEROIDS | CENTIPEDE. If you're my age or older, then you likely remember this commercial on television back then: Good stuff Maynard!

I don't know how much time I have remaining on earth. I admit that I am not happy in my life. I can't find a wife (but I have tried). I can't afford to live on the island of Oahu in Hawaii (I love playing the Hawaiian steel guitar there). I'd gladly settle for a home near the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, but I cannot afford that either. Pensacola is okay, not much to see or do, but the cost of living is cheaper than the national average. Home is where I hang my hat. God is always very good, and I know in the future that He will give me the desires of my heart (Romans 8:32).

God Knows I Just Want To Help People For Christ

Having admitted that I am not happy, I do have peace like a river flowing in my soul. I 100% know that I am saved—that my name is written in Heaven in the precious Lamb's Book of Life (Luke 10:20). I have food on my table, shoes on my feet, a roof up above me, and a good place to sleep. I live in a semi-free country in the United States. I can't get the pain medication dosage that I need, because doctors are afraid of the government stripping away their license. That is not freedom! Google has censored 95% of my web traffic. That is not freedom! I have four adult children from the Lord, and I can still bathe myself and go for a walk or drive if I desire. Many people are crippled in a wheelchair, or stuck in a hospital bed. So I count my blessings from God. We just don't know what a day may bring forth (Proverbs 27:1).

Thank you for reading my blog. God knows my heart that I just want to be a blessing for Jesus Christ to others. I am not an eloquent writer. I make lots of typos (sorry about that). I don't claim to be a good Christian, but God knows that I am 100% sincere and I do care. I care about right doctrine. I care about the accuracy of the Gospel (sadly most pastors don't). I care about the purity of God's inspired Word (which is the King James Bible). I care about people, especially hurting people. I am a hurting person myself (both physically and emotionally), so I can understand what hurting people feel and are coping with. God uses hurting people to help hurting people.

Tragically, you won't get any help at cults like Pensacola Christian College, they will cold-heartedly throw you under the bus and leave you for dead, like they did to me in 2021 and 2022, and still today. Also, Bob Jones University doesn't care about individual people. The cult system always comes first in these pseudo-fundamentalist institutions, but individual people don't matter. I speak that to their utter shame and wickedness! God's judgment is upon these ungodly predatory religious organizations which parasite off of churches and naïve parents.

I know that a write a lot about the false repentance issue, and the plethora of corrupt Bibles in Bible colleges and churches today, but it is necessary to warn everyone. Sadly, 98% of preachers don't care about anything except making a living (i.e., money). I have never taken a single penny for serving God, and I never plan to. I woke up at about 4 am and couldn't fall back to sleep. So I watched a 3:40 hour historical documentary called: 'The Revolutionary.' George Washington lost his last living child (his adult son) in the war. His parents had kept him home to protect him, but he wanted to help the cause, like his father. So his parents relented to let him join the fight and it cost him his life. So sad.

George Washington went partially blind during his service to his country and couldn't read anymore without glasses. He was away from his wife for several years during the war effort. George Washington paid a steep price for his noble labors to form a new country, freed from the tyranny of England. When the war was over, most men in his shoes would have wanted to lead the new empire; but not George, he just wanted to go back home to be with his wife and live a quiet life in Virginia. George and his wife attended various churches of different denominations once a month (I go twice a month usually). And George never accepted a single penny for all his labors and service to his country. We need a lot more men of integrity like that in the world today!

I guarantee you that 99% of preachers and pastors would quit overnight if they stopped getting paid. But I didn't start my website ministry to make money, so I have no reason to quit! I do what I do out of an “excellent spirit” like Daniel had (Daniel 6:3). I don't want anybody's money, but thank you anyhow. My rewards are laid up in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and thieves cannot break through and steal (Matthew 6:19-20). I've been robbed three times over the past year. It has cost me $600.

I consider myself fortunate, thieves stole my neighbour's $7,500 Ditch-witch (equipment used to install underground fiber optics cable). I really hate thieves, stealing that for which they did not labor to earn, shedding other men's blood. When you steal another man's labors, you are taking away his time which he spent to earn those things, and in a very real sense you are taking away his life and shedding his innocent blood. Most thieves feel entitled to steal from those who are financially better off than they are, which is how wicked sinners think. But a righteous man thinks quite different, as we read in Psalms 37:21, “The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.”

Thank you for reading and God bless.
