Seek the peace

“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray … Continue reading Seek the peace

A lie in My name

Not everything that claims to be of God is of God. Sometimes, the true prophet is preaching destruction and judgement while the false prophet is preaching peace, peace. “Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.” (Jeremiah 28:15) Now ask yourself: Where are the words of Hananiah preserved and have they endured the test of time? We only know of the words of Hananiah from the enduring and preserved words of Jeremiah! God’s truth prevails! “If there arise among you … Continue reading A lie in My name

No gift of God is fragile

The philosophers, however, chose to [teach philosophy] to the Greeks alone, and not even to all of them; but Socrates to Plato, and Plato  to Xenocrates, Aristotle to Theophrastus, and Zeno to Cleanthes, who persuaded their own followers alone. But the word of our Teacher remained not in Judea alone, as philosophy did in Greece; but was diffused over the whole world, over every nation, and village, and town, bringing already over to the truth whole houses, and each individual of those who heard it by him himself, and not a few of the philosophers themselves. And if any one … Continue reading No gift of God is fragile

Jeremiah 26!

After reading Jeremiah 26, is it any wonder that some thought Jesus and the Old Covenant prophet who foretold the New Covenant were quite similar? Jeremiah, under the Old Covenant, foreshadows, predicts, and points to Jesus and the New Covenant.  “When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.” – Matthew 16:13,14 Old Covenant/Testament New Covenant/Testament = Same God of both The light … Continue reading Jeremiah 26!

Truth is immoveable

Quote in the picture is from Clement of Alexandria, a Christian writer of the late 2nd century. Only the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have stood the test of time—cross‑culturally received and believed—and have carried the message of sacrifice foretold by the prophet Isaiah (see Isaiah 40:8; 42:1–12; 49:1–6; 52:13–15; and Isaiah 53).  By contrast, the so‑called gnostic gospels fail to meet these prophetic standards. The difference is overwhelming—it’s not even close.  Therefore, it is clear and easy to recognize which writings are the true Gospels. Continue reading Truth is immoveable

67 days after Kirk death with 67 overflow sites

Here are just a few highlights from last night’s event—exactly 67 days after the tragic death of Charlie Kirk at UVU. An outreach event was planned and executed in a record-breaking 6 weeks (6 periods of 7 days!) by Harvest Christian Fellowship. They had 67 overflow sites! During the night, the preacher shared about a lonely moment in his life when he was about 7 or 6 years old. Phil Wickham started off the worship and sang 6 or 7 songs total it depends if you count two shortened version songs into one or not 😆 (a must-watch set if … Continue reading 67 days after Kirk death with 67 overflow sites

In the blink of an eye

“I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon. Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. (Lamentations 3:55–57) “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” (Isaiah 65:24) “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day … Continue reading In the blink of an eye

Be good…

Anything less would be an idol of an ungodly mind… “And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.” – Matthew 10:17-18 There is no such thing as a good person in Christian thought as all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (the only really good one according to Jesus). So, no one gets … Continue reading Be good…
