Amos 3:7 A Love Of The Truth

It is amazing how the Coronavirus has suddenly taken a backseat and all fear is tossed aside when the riots and looting begin.  So much for "social distancing" unless that is now simply a term that measures how far away you can be to put a brick through a business unrelated to the incident in Minnesota.  Mr. Floyd deserved better, and so do the citizens in all the states where Antifa and their minions seem to have staged "planned protests" by out of state professional instigators whose actions overwhelm the local peaceful protesters who simply want him to be remembered and honored, and for change to occur.  A world without God looks exactly like what it is becoming, and unfortunately, it will likely get much worse.  The seeds of discord were planted when the leader of a former administration assured us that "fundamental change was coming to America."  And so it has.  Wars n Rumors of wars.dBut we, as believers, have the assurance that our God has not, does not, and will not chang

"Plandeminc?"  Probably far from it.  Apparently, many Christians have discarded reason and discernment for an emotional overreaction to the current pandemic that is devasting our families and the economy with the advent of a recent, New Age rooted video, that has gone viral online.    When evaluating any statement or position, it is imperative that we, as believers, examine the source behind the material presented, resisting the tendency to bias our reaction to it on how it makes us feel.  While we may want to believe what is being said, many times an explanation becomes a convenient answer to an unanswerable question.  We must exercise discernment and test all things...and if it does not meet the test, it must be discarded as invalid.  Such is John's evaluation of the "Plandemic" video that has been produced by some questionable persons. Don't believe us?  Wait until you see the brief excerpt of a video from one of the video-backer's websites.  If you don't see the co

Coronavirus.  Quarantine.  The Constitution.  Serfdom.  Slaves.  Over 700 lawsuits have been filed since the state's began choosing business and losers, and the economy is on the brink of a disaster from which we may never recover in this crazy upside down world that seems like was transported out a George Orwell book.  Mouths speaking without discernment is the biggest problem we have, so now, more than ever, we must cut through all the chatter and stand firm on the truth.  Thanks for your continued support of this online ministry.  Next up, this week's update entitled "Be Vexed (Not Vaxxed)"On YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYaoMK-O8GcProphecy Page:

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced because they love their servitude.”~ Aldous Huxley, Brave New World~Welcome to the New Abnormal, where freedoms are sacrificed in the name of the public good but where discerning Christians sense and understand that these things must happen before the return of Christ.  It is a place where technology merges with totalitarianism.  It is a place where the abortion clinic remains open, is considered "essential" while churches are closed. It is a place in which the world searches for answers, but Christians are ignored and mocked when they proclaim "we have the answer."  It is a world that publicly calls for peace, while behind the scenes it is planning for conquest.    It is a world where truth is replaced by a feelingOrder by chaos, Where black is pitted against white, Rich pitted against poor, Youn

It is Resurrection Sunday, so why do you look for the living among the dead?  This week's message, "The Normalcy Virus" is another reminder that our perspectives as Christians should not change simply because the world does.  We have a Blessed Hope, in whom we implicity trust.  So despite the world being engulfed by widespread fear and uncertainty with Turkey is rattling its sabers, Oil plummeting to $20 per barrel, Maersk shipping containings sitting empty and many of the ships carrying agricultural products are roaming the high seas with no place to sell the foot because no one is buying.  Add to that social distancing and then skin dyes, a "digital tattoo" that mimic nanochipping, and we have a world that is far from "normal" as we have defined it.  But is this really different, or is it simply the process that was set in place millenniums ago that we are privileged to see play out before our eyes?    The World, our country, our states, and cities are on lockdown. But sho

When a crisis hits, there are those with less than pure motives who will always step out of the shadows to take advantage.  Such is the time we are facing, as those looking to increase their stature jostle for position as everyday people deal with fear and uncertainty.  With the deaths from COVID-19 beginning to have a much bigger impact than many would believe, hospitals whose ICU's are already at capacity are burdened with were to treat the critically ill, or if to do so.  Beyond that, the question becomes, where do we keep the bodies?In a sobering message, John examines the reality of where the world stands economically and spiritually as these unprecedented times fall heavy on the people of the world.  But hold fast, brothers and sisters in Christ.  It may be that God, through this crisis, has allowed us time to focus on the most important things in life...our relationship with Him, and those closest to us who sometimes play second fiddle to what we formerly believed took the most priority in our liv

How will the One World Religion come about, or is it here already? Ray Yungen discusses the advent of The Mystic Revolution. Mysticism is a bridge for all religions to coexist. Ray discusses how the mystical explosion is setting the stage for the One World Religion. What began in the West in the early 50's & 60's has grown up into a major force to be rekoned with. Eastern Mystical practices have been repackaged and given shiny new Christian labels. Issues discussed here are history of the Mystical Revolution, Spiritual Formation, Contemplative Prayer, Reiki, Mantras, Chakras, Energy Healing and some of the major personalities.

Warren Smith discusses the wildly popular book "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young. Learn insights into the spirit behind the voice that spoke with author Sarah Young. Are the teachings in the devotions consistent with biblical teachings or are they something else?

"Smith raises Ten Concerns about the original book God Calling, which entered the Christian world in 2005, and Twenty Concerns about Sarah Young's Jesus Calling, which has more recently taken the evangelical world by storm." -Sarah H.

Warren Smith discusses the New Age and it's explosive growth in the Church. Oprah, Joel Osteen, Brian McLaren, and Rick Warren have all helped further the dreams of occultist Alice Bailey to use the Church to herald the coming of the New Age by using "…occultism awakening the mystical faculties"The woman who coined the term New Age, occultist Alice Bailey, (believing that we were on the threshold of a new spiritual awakening) said that this new enlightened age would come, not around the Christian church, but rather through it. She said the outer layers would be initially kept intact (i.e., Christian terminology would still be used) but the changes would take place obscurely from the inside.Please share this information and followup on other new age/ new spirituality by following links.http://amos37.com/2012/03/22/alice-bailey-goals-of-the-new-age/More @ http://ldbc.ca/
