11/21/21 KNOWING AND "KNOWING"

Knowing something because of facts isn't the same as "knowing" something because of stubbornness.

11/20/21 LITTLE BY LITTLE

The goal of Socialism (aka Communism, Liberalism, Progressivism, Collectivism) is to replace free market, private ownership, family units, Christianity, personal freedom, Biblical authority and morality with Statism, Atheism, Humanism.

This movement has been present and active since after the Civil War. The plan was and is, to change minds by corrupting the minds of young people (through the educational system), corrupting morals and values (through legislative and judicial system), corrupting the government and culture stance (through politics), corrupting the standard of living, capitalism, free market, free enterprise, private ownership (through control of labor and politics).
Socialists (Communists) have been infiltrating every vital area of life in America for over 150 years. This is why you find anti American leadership in education, politics, labor, military, law enforcement, judiciary.

The very influences which should promote the American and Christian way of life is now following anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Bible agendas. It was planned, it was executed and it is triumphing over this country.

11/20/21 A LITTLE BACKGROUND

Though Socialism (also called Nationalism at that time) and its kin have been active in America since the 1800's the Socialists Party in USA (since 1901) and the Communist Party in USA (since 1919) have been infiltrating US education, military, unions, politics, social organizations, community service groups, fraternal organizations. They have always made their plan and their objective known.

Any confusion about the condition of our country and it's Leftist leanings is because Americans have closed their ears, their eyes and their hearts to Christ and His word. Shame on Christians who have been sucked into following people because of race, Political Party, propaganda or peer pressure.

11/19/21 SIN, AS THE ENEMY OF GOD

If it is sin (Socialism, racism [any color], oppression, immorality), it is the enemy of God and man.

Stand Up, Denounce Sin.

11/19/21 CHOOSING THE HIGH ROAD

It's not race but honesty, accuracy and fairness that is essential in news reporting.
Otherwise you are a racist.

11/17/21 STANDARDS FOR SERVICE

God requires His servants to have purity of heart and a life conformed to the will of God.

11/17/21 BIBLICAL VIEW OF SIN

Sin is not something we can escape on our own.
Sin is not something we can follow as a Christian.

11/17/21 BEWARE THE CONTRADICTION

According to God's word:
If an inner voice says you are a child of God, but you're walking in sin, the voice is a liar.

11/17/21 THE WITNESS OF THE SPIRIT

The "witness of the Holy Spirit" (the transformed heart and life) is evidence of salvation to us and through us to others.

11/17/21 PARTS THAT SET US APART

Trusting, Submitting, Listening, Following, Learning, Loving, Seeking, Hungering and Thirsting are components of Abiding in Christ.

11/17/21 WHEN ABSENCE IS THE EVIDENCE

Without His abiding presence, a pure heart and perfect love, you do not have the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

11/17/21 LET GOD DETAIL YOUR LIFE

If you want God in the detail of your life: be discipled, seek counsel, follow Jesus.

11/16/21 DIVINE EVIDENCE

The evidence of the fullness of the Holy Spirit is His abiding presence, a pure heart, perfect love.

11/16/21 YES, I AM BEING FACETIOUS

When GOD, purity of heart, holiness of life and perfect love are not enough you can always seek "the sign."

11/16/21 GETTING CLOSER

Looking forward to daytime Net House meetings for Bible Studies, Bible Discussions, Gospel Music Singalong Time (for His praise and our edification).

Some of my in-person group sessions will also be either live streamed or recorded, so other folks will be able to view them.

I hope to do Biblical Surveys, Doctrinal Studies, Cult Awareness, among other classes.

You are invited. Let me know if you are interested.

We still have work to do on The Net House building, but we are able to have comfortable seating for various sized groups, in a pleasant venue.

These particular studies are for teaching and edification. Questions and discussion will be welcomed but argumentation and division are not appropriate to these meetings.
