“For if something is presented eagerly, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.” 2nd Corinthians 8:12 The Great Commission commanded by Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20) is a very expensive endeavor that has been going one for nearly 2,000 years. This is part of God’s plan for those who have been Saved, for those who have repented towards God and by faith believed into Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (Acts 20:21) to be a part of, in one form or another. The question arises how much should a Christian give, to whom or what should the money go towards and must they give 10% of their income or not? These questions are going to be addressed, noting that much of this is a heart issue of an individual before the Lord, yet the Bible provides clear guidance and direction, as well as examples on tithing. What sort of example do the members and attendees of a Church set when they allow their building, one set aside for God, to go into disrepair, also allowing a pastor to go without any sort of salary or a salary that would not sustain even a modest form of living? Further said, what about foreign missions funding, money for the distribution of tracts or Bibles, money to support biblical evangelical work or the numerous other things that can/could be done in a fashion that is honoring to God Almighty, as those who proclaim to walk in ‘newness of life’ (Romans 6:4) with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior?...

“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:12 “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unyielding, slanderers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.” 2nd Timothy 3:1-5 Understand as this study begins that this is not speaking of everyone, note that the Bible says ‘many’ not all. There is a disease that started in this country some time ago. I’ve spoken about it in the past, but the other day after hearing of some more problems, I thought about the horror of the way many people mistreat each other and was considering God’s Word, pondered a different angle, one that has to deal with end times events. In a nutshell, most people should be able to understand that the love of many is already growing cold and this seems to be continuing to get worse as time goes on. There is also a lot of unnatural affection, my mind always goes to the type of affection found via social media with a quick like, comment or emoji, but with no real substance many times. In this there is affection and it is not traditional, therefore, can it be natural? I had seen a study a few years back that young people, despite all of the technology and...

“But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or produces an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” Revelation 21:27 “There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12 Now there is a lot of going back and forth battles in this country and around the world that are being fought on the basis of what is called traditional conservative values verses liberalism. However, as we will see, our opinions in all reality matter nothing compared to what our Creator has declared to be the actual Truth of the matter. What we are seeing is the fulfilling of the prophecy regarding the whole world being led astray by Satan (Revelation 12:9), a war that is truly being fought against Almighty God, one that the world will lose (Revelation 19:11-21). Just how much time will I spend debating these issues that are already judged? How much time should anyone spend online going back and forth with tweets and comments throughout the internet, ‘fighting’ ideas. At what point do we just stand on the firm foundation of the Bible (2 Timothy 2:19) doing His great work, ensuring that our families are properly taught the Word of God, that our children are raised in the Lord, that we participate in spreading the Gospel, that we are active in our local churches, ensuring that they are pleasing to God, as they belong to Christ? If we were to spend countless hours debating nonsense,...

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and did not realize until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two will be in the field: one is taken and the other is left. Two will be grinding at the mill: one is taken and the other is left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord comes. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be dug through. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man comes at an hour you do not expect. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made administrator over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Truly, I say to you that he will appoint him as administrator over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says in his heart, My master delays his coming, and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a...

“There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12 Our society is continuing on a path, a path that is contrary to our Creator, one that is on the broad path (Matthew 7:13), leading to the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:15). This path have those who have been given some sort of false Gospel message, presenting to them that they are assured to go to Heaven, when true Salvation is absent, as well as an increasing number of people who simply have decided to continue on what seems to be right to them, but the end of it is the ways of death. There is a war going on, this war began with Adam and Eve’s sin in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3) and is near it’s ultimate culmination stage, on that should have anyone who considers such a thing, to REALLY consider their ways, are they part of this deception?! “So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads the whole world astray; he was cast out onto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9 The Bible already tells us the future to what is going to happen and what is happening. The apostasy (2 Peter 3:3; 2 Timothy 3:1) is in full bloom, getting worse each year, the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37) and the days of Lot (Luke 17:28) are upon us. Society is truly getting worse and worse (2 Timothy 3:13). The...
