"For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting..." (Psalm 100:5)

"Doublethink" means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them” - George Orwell

Like the Doctrines of Mercy and Eternal Torment...it appears to me.

The Path To Future Glory - But For Now, Trump May Have To Do

Paul declared… “I am crucified with Christ…” (Galatians 2:20) “Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep...Ought not Christ to have suffered these things (events of his death) and to enter into His GLORY (thru his resurrection) ...But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death , crowned with GLORY and honor" ...(1  Corinthians 15:20; Luke 24:26; Hebrews 2:9) When Jesus hung on the cross it was a graphic declaration that death is the path to GLORY, for himself and for humans.  Got it? Sin, death, and the grave is the path to GLORY. Christ the first fruit, then all the rest of us. It is the SPIRIT within us which longs to live, not die, and testifies to us “the sufferings of Christ and the GLORY that should follow.” (1 Peter 1:11) There is NO path to GLORY among the present self-righteous institutions of men in this present age. It is not our good works, nor our bad that de...

He Gives Grace to those He Humbles

God said... " By Myself I have sworn; Truth has gone from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow to Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.  It will be said to Me: Righteousness and strength is only in the LORD." All who are enraged against Him will come to Him and be put to shame."   (Isaiah 45:23-24) Those enraged and proud will be put to shame and humbled. And when humbled, God gives them His grace. "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."  (1 Peter 5:5) Politicians are overconfident in their ability to change things. They have to be for others to support and vote for them. Voters are an interesting lot, generally voting for whoever promises the biggest Goose in their pot. We are almost always disappointed when our "Goose is cooked". Nevertheless, in about a month I will vote for one of those proud candidates - hoping that before he or she leaves office they will be "put to shame" , "humbled...

Election Time in the USA

  I just turned 74 and have lived all my life in the US. In thinking about the upcoming election the following verse came into my mind... "The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you." (2 Chronicles 15:2) Neither candidate is the LORD, that is for certain, and so I do not "seek after" either one of them. When voting I prayerfully consider the one who it seems to me would not "forsake" my LORD during times of crisis in this world in which we live. People can and will differ on who that is I suppose, so I will not judge them if their choice differs from mine. After all... "...the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men. He gives it to anyone He wants and sets the lowliest of humans over it." (Daniel 4:17)..."Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by...
