Military reports of UFO's

UFO's sighted near nuclear test sights. My theory is that the supposed aliens are demons who are setting humans up for a Great Deception.

Men burned in their lust one toward another

When a culture rejects God's Word and worships idols, they will start a downward spiral that leads to immorality.

Romans 1:27-28 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.

I read about this first on Voddie Baucham's blog. It seems that among the Pashtun men in Afghanistan there is rampant homosexual pedophilia. You can read the article here:

Arrested for evangelism

It is illegal for followers of Jesus to evangelize Muslims in Iran. 7 Iranians and 2 foreigners (possibly British or American) were arrested for trying to win Iranians to Christ.

Iran Arrests 9 Christians for Evangelism, Reports State Media

These brothers in Christ were simply being obedient to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Since it is not illegal for us to share the gospel in the United States, let's get the word out. We do not risk going to jail like these brothers did!

The Rapture

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

This passage of scripture describes what is referred to as the rapture of the church. For some reason, many 'evangelicals' have decided that this is 'escapist' and God is not going to remove the believers in the catching up into the air. These folks are quite critical of the rapture. They are embracing social justice and ecological concerns because they believe that we are going to clean up the world in preparation for the coming of Jesus.

Many of these folks are also critical of the importance of evangelism. Instead of the church focusing on the salvation of men's souls, it seems they are focusing on social and environmental issues. So they don't like the rapture and they have rewritten the Great Commission.

Here is a link to an article by Tullian Tchividjia, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian church. Tullian is Billy Graham's grandson.

God's Evacuation Plan?

Burning Korans and Mars Hill

Acts 17:22-23 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

I am sure that Paul's heart broke as he walked through Athens. The Greeks worshipped a multitude of gods and made altars and built temples to them all. Just in case they had missed one, the even had one to the unknown god. Please notice what Paul did not do. He did not take a hammer and start smashing these idolatrous places of worship.

As followers of Jesus we should be doing what Jesus told us to do.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Instead of burning a Koran, we should be sharing the gospel with every creature including those who are followers of Islam. The Bible tells us:

Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Burning a Koran does nothing but make Muslims feel anger toward who they perceive as infidels. Think of how you feel when you see someone burn an American flag. You are angry and grieved. This is a Muslim's holy book. No, I don't believe a word of the Koran, but if I wanted to win someone I would not start by dishonoring something they hold dear. Imagine an evangelist beginning his sermon by insulting your mother!

I am afraid that many Americans have forsaken the message of Jesus and don't want to see people come to know Jesus.

Paul stood in the midst of people who did not believe as he did and told them of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let us go and do likewise.

A lesson in witnessing - straight from the Word

From Chuck Missler:

A man who has pressed through the darkness, suffered and struggled in grief and blindness, rejoices to the core of his being when he catches glimpses of the sun. One of the first things he wants to do is call to his loved ones, "Come over here! The sky is real! Come quickly and see!" For those of us who know Jesus Christ as our hero and King, our brother and Savior, the aching desire in our hearts is to show him to the rest of the world, to all those others struggling through the darkness.

God the Father

I just spoke of this yesterday at church as we focused on the value of Emphasizing Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Here is an article from the Telegraph:

God no longer male, Scottish Episcopal Church rules

Now more than ever we need to know our Bibles and know the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Labor Day Prayer

Jesus said that we need more laborers and he instructed us to pray for them. Would you join me this labor day in praying for laborers for the harvest?

Matthew 9:37-38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Jesus said the problem is not with the harvest, but with the lack of laborers. Let's pray that the Lord send laborers into the harvest with the gospel message.

Psalms 126:5-6 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
