“I ain’t worried about it dawg.”

“The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”  Proverbs 1:7   I was out driving around one evening recently in the north side of Rapid City, South Dakota, heading into the downtown district.  I happened at a stop light where there was a man around my age, full of tattoos, mean looking dude, with his woman driving their car.   Their car was booming from the bass of the speakers, shaking the windows a bit and I took a glance over at this gangster who glared back at me, thinking to say something, one of those things were you feel the nudging of the heart from the Holy Spirit, but your not quite sure, but I take off, getting stopped at a light just a couple of blocks away.  They pull up next to me again.   This time I put my window down and look over.  He looks my way again and I say to him…   “It’s all fun and games, but what are you going to do in the end?”   He looks back and hollers, “I ain’t worried about it dawg.”   He started to say something else, if I could guess it was asking what I was going to do, but the light had turned green and the driver of this car turned left, while I was making a right.   Oh…my heart goes out to that man, that God would grant him the opportunity to continue to hear the Gospel, to consider, to perhaps repent towards God and by faith believe into Jesus Christ as His...

In Exchange for Nothing

“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”  Matthew 16:26   A preacher can write, preach, warn, rebuke, exhort often, but how many actually take heed to whatever is done honorable and according to the will of God regarding these things that mankind needs to know?  Certainly it can be discouraging.   Long before my first article ever written on All Will Stand, there were fiery conversations that were had at my local job.  We would debate back and forth about all sorts of topics from the girl who thought God was in everything, to the manager who thought that the charismatic movement was correct, as well as speaking in tongues, to the one who was Roman Catholic and believed that to be the right path to the atheist who said there was no God.    There were those who thought women preachers were allowed, some who thought that christian rock was the way to go.  Then there was the couple who actually got Saved while I was working there, believe it or not, as the closer (and eventually night manager) at a McDonald’s.  All of these conversations were had and each day, even with different viewpoints, we debated and both parties, myself and the other, would come in with their ‘evidence’ to present to the other trying to prove our cases.  While my arguments based upon the Bible might not have been accepted, there was not a single ‘lost’ argument, I had help, a good friend...

Many Wounded

“For the love of money is a root of all evils, for which some being greedy, have strayed from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”  1st Timothy 6:10   “If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not unto death. There is sin unto death. I do not say that he should ask about that.  All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.”  1st John 5:16-17   “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 day when he is not expecting him and in an hour he does not know, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the...

Reminders of Hollywood

“Therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will drive you from off the face of the earth. You shall die this year, because you have taught rebellion against Jehovah.”  Jeremiah 28:16   “Do not be led astray: Evil company corrupts good character.”  1st Corinthians 15:33   “You shall not follow the majority in doing evil;”…  Exodus 23:2a The Bible talks about a coming time of God’s just justice coming to the world and to that which is called Babylon (Revelation 17 – 19).  Part of that entity includes the arts, which would therefore include Hollywood.  (Side Note: “They shall come upon you in their fullness for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great power of your enchantments.”  Isaiah 47:9  This is also speaking of the same entity in Revelation 17 & 18. Now consider the ‘great power of your enchantments’ and ponder what has happened to our society.  This isn’t just the movies, but we must remember that when God’s Word states something, it is 100% accurate, absolute truth and in our minds we have the tendency to believe His Word, yet still harvest disbelief. Just as I believed when I was younger that evil communication would corrupt good manners, I added an * to that belief.  I thought that because I knew better and was smarter than that, that it did not apply to me.  No rather, let God be true (Romans 3:4) for it did matter and I was the one who was becoming corrupted.  So too, I have heard that the music industry, back when the now revived vinyl industry had it’s stronghold on American...

God’s Rewards Program

“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to what his work shall be.”  Revelation 22:12   My hands have been busy doing much work recently.  While the following might sound strange and perhaps it is, over the years I have found myself understanding person after person in the Bible and having experienced similar things, gaining a deeper understanding of what is recorded for us in the Holy Scriptures regarding these people.  In this particular case, where I now have some additional understanding is with Solomon.   “I said in my heart, Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore regard pleasure; and this was vanity.   I said of laughter, It is madness; and of mirth, What does it accomplish?   I sought in my heart to gratify my flesh with wine, while leading my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, until I might find out what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.   I made my works great; I built houses for myself; I planted vineyards for myself.  I made gardens and orchards for myself, and I planted trees in them, of all kinds of fruit.  I made pools of water for myself, to water the forest springing up with trees.  I have bought slaves and maids, and had servants born in my house; I also had more livestock, herds and flocks, than all were before me in Jerusalem.  I also gathered silver and gold to myself, and the treasure of kings and of...

Natural Law – Space, Time, & Matter

Tidbit Number One: Earth’s Magnetic Field The surrounding scientific communities around the globe proclaim in our modern area that the earth is billions upon billions of years old by the development of random chance regarding their evolutionary belief. I have wanted to write some tidbits regarding “Natural Law” from a Christian perspective for a while. Something’s to consider for those who doubt the Creation Design vs. the Evolutionary Model. NASA States: Every 1,400 years, the earth’s magnetic field is weakening. NASA is thereby proclaiming that every 1,400 years, the earth’s magnetic field gets cut (weakened) by its 1/2 life. This scientific discovery should be eye-shocking to those who deny the creation story. Mathematically speaking, the earth is therefore “NOT” able to be billions of years old.  Logical Reasoning: Based on the current studies of the earth’s magnetic field, if we went back to King David’s period of biblical ancient history (Estimated – 2,800 years), the earth’s atmosphere regarding the magnetic field would be 4x more substantial. If we also returned to the biblically recorded timing of Noha’s flood, the magnetic field would be 8x more significant.  If the earth were billions of years old, based on evolutionists’ false, unscientific claims, it would have heated up so much that it would have destroyed the entire planet. Why? Answer: If the earth’s atmosphere were billions of years old, the magnetic field would have been so strong that the scientific reality would have heated the world so much (Estimated – 25,000 years) that the earth would have been naturally destroyed based on mathematics. So remember, based on what NASA tells us, the earth’s life,...
