*Christians need to stay together at this very evil time in world history. Edifying each other and building each other up in the word of God and the true faith against the spirit of antichrist which is in the world...

"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."- Jude 3 KJV

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? and what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."- 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV

*Walk with God through this life according to His word...

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."- Matthew 7:13-14 KJV

"From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him."- John 6:66 KJV

"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."- Matthew 16:25 KJV

In response to a recent teaching on the sanctity of life, I had a "Christian" scold me; she said, "You are making Christianity look bad".

Some profess to be Christian yet believe that God's word is negotiable. Although disappointed, even frustrated at times, it ceases to surprise me. Humans are prone to folly. Further complicating matters, the world is filled with "ministers, pastors, priests", etc., willing to à la carte God's word, so long as it returns an earthly dividend. I pray for them and those they mislead.

God has blessed you with the same free will He has blessed me. You are entitled to believe in whichever god, whichever doctrine you choose. You are free and encouraged to express your perspective. If you desire to add to, manipulate, or take from God's word, I will not agree, no matter how insistent you are, but I will not respond unkindly.

I strive to do my best to seek, heed, obey, and teach God's word without compromise. If you desire to learn and grow in God's word and help others do the same, you are in the right place. Your personal growth in God's word is invaluable, and I hope to inspire and guide you. On the other hand, if you intend to hear what you want to hear, this is what you need to know:

God's word is unchangeable; it is good and perfect, without compromise. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 declares, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Note that God uses the word "All", not "Some". Our wise, graceful, and loving Father encourages us to seek, heed, and honor "All" of His commands. Furthermore, we are warned not to add to, manipulate, or take from God's word, Proverbs 30:5-6; 1 Corinthians 4:6, Deuteronomy 4:2, with perhaps the strongest warning found in Revelation 22:18-19.

The time spent making excuses, searching for a "workaround", etc., would be better invested in seeking, heeding, and obeying God's word. Will it always be easy to follow His word? No. Will you be "popular" for doing so? Probably not. Will it be worth it? Absolutely.

God bless.

"A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."- Proverbs 18:24 KJV

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? and what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
