The Apocrypha

2018 started out with hate, hate towards races, hate towards religions hate towards our leaders!
Lets go back and read thing removed from the Bible that may inspire you to see how even our words of God was hidden for others gains!

The apocrypha is a selection of books which were published in the original 1611 King James Bible. These apocryphal books were positioned between the Old and New Testament (it also contained maps and geneologies). The apocrypha was a part of the KJV for 274 years until being removed in 1885 A.D. A portion of these books were called deuterocanonical books by some entities, such as the Catholic church.

Many claim the apocrypha should never have been included in the first place, raising doubt about its validity and believing it was not God-inspired (for instance, a reference about magic seems inconsistent with the rest of the Bible: Tobit chapter 6, verses 5-8). Others believe it is valid and that it should never have been removed- that it was considered part of the Bible for nearly 2,000 years before it was recently removed a little more than 100 years ago. Some say it was removed because of not finding the books in the original Hebrew manuscripts. Others claim it wasn't removed by the church, but by printers to cut costs in distributing Bibles in the United States. Both sides tend to cite the same verses that warn against adding or subtracting from the Bible: Revelation 22:18. The word 'apocrypha' means 'hidden.' Fragments of Dead Sea Scrolls dating back to before 70 A.D. contained parts of the apocrypha books in Hebrew, including Sirach and Tobit [source]. 

Keep this in mind when reading the following apocryphal books. Martin Luther said, "Apocrypha--that is, books which are not regarded as equal to the holy Scriptures, and yet are profitable and good to read."

God and us

God gave us the determination to seek out the just, gave us the courage to face evil in all forms, and the wisdom to determine where we go from here.
But.........................
Are we using his knowledge, his faith, his grace, or his blessings to do his will?
We are but a speck in the future of God's gift to us, but we are his speck!
He loved and sacrificed his only child so we all could be his children!
He created us, not for a plaything but for a family enriched by his love!
We have all he has but havent used the right keys to open up the universe!
We have God in and around us!
We have him!

END TIMES

God is patient, but has a set limit on what He will endure. And though devastating and deadly, He is nevertheless a just and righteous judgment that offers refuge.

6 Signs Of The End Times

1. Difficult Economic Times  "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14).

2.Violence, Brutality & School Shootings  Matthew 27:37 Jesus says, "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." 

3. Identity Theft  BIble tells us that the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. 

4.  Immorality  This generation is oversexed and under-motivated spiritually. Moral boundaries are almost non-existent in our sexually free culture, where the "norm" is sharing sexually explicit photos, sex tapes and "sexting." 

5. The Persecution of Believers  "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another" (Matthew 24:9-10).

6. Church Falloff As the end times approach, people will fall away from their faith (1 Tim. 4:1). 

Creating God!

When one worships the Lord and does their daily rounds of being a proper christian then it becomes apparent that all in life is as it should be.
But, what if one strays from time to time? Are they doomed? Is it the end?
With God if you stray and still believe, if you forgot to pray or such, but still have Christ as your savior you are still a child of God! Period!
God is like a parent, only helping you grow into maturity as a christian, not as a ruler over you to dictate your every move!
God created us and saw he loved what he created! We as parents create children to raise and nourish, to watch them grow and be loved as we was!
So instead of creating God why not create a mindset of love, compassion and spiritual well being?
Being like God is what God is all about!
Be happy my friends! Enjoy life, and praise the one that gave you that eternal soul!

I love God This Much!

God so loved the world, not one selection of people, not one race, but the whole world that he gave his only begotten son!
How many would sacrifice their children to save humanity? How many has a heart so large that they didnt think twice about doing it?
How many had a son willing to give his life for ALL?
I love my Lord and Savior even more than my puny existence! But you know what?
GOD DOESNT WANT THAT SACRIFICE! He only wants to bless and grace his children that obeys him and loves him back!
Can you imagine the heartache, the grief, but the sorrow turning to joy as Jesus rose from the dead as Gods beloved son in the spirit?
Could you do it?
Maybe not!
But love doesnt have to prove its worth in the eyes of the Lord! 

Is This Christ's way or Your Way?

Thanksgiving has went the way of the lost! Just as our troops fight for your freedom here you fight to forget why Thanksgiving was brought up in this country of ours!
You think parades, football, stuffing yourself like a pig and black Friday is all there is to Thanksgiving!
Did you forget the struggle to be free? The praise of the one true God that gave our fore bearers a place to live and worship as they see fit?
Did you forget you are here now, and not even giving a blessing over your food but using the Lord's name in vain every few minutes?
Christ died so that you could worship without the death sentence of sin over you! Did you remember?
Or did you fight for couch space to watch a football game?
Your way isnt getting into heaven without God!
Remember that God gave us all struggles to build us into more perfect souls when we meet him on judgement day!
Theres still time to say thanks!
But I wouldnt wait too long!
Live, Love, Pray! 

Place God back in America

All the riots, being offended, gays marrying, blacks killing whites, cop killers, murderers getting less time than drunks, attacking the poor, the veterans, our seniors.......
The list goes on and on and on........
Then you have, out of the very same mouths, "God Bless America"?
Not likely peeps!
God doesnt bless intolerance, hate or evil!
This country is on the path to destruction!
God will save his people for a better world, a better life, a better time!
The rest shall fall! No ifs, ands, or buts about it!
But......
You have precious little time to redeem yourself!
But accepting Christ as your saviour and dropping the hate and evil from your hearts!
God will save his own!
Will you become one of them?
Act fast, he doesnt allow for slacking when it comes to his everlasting love and grace!
