“Modern love” is the topic featured in thousands of popular songs, movies and TV shows. And what is the result of those cultural pieces of propaganda?
Modern man is completely befuddled about true love.
The Bible reveals what true love (charity) really is.
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth”
–1CORINTHIANS 13:4-8
Though the end times world chatters on and on about “love,” God’s Word informs that there will be a shortage of real love in the last days.
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
–2TIMOTHY 3:1-5
What kind of love is the reader most familiar with?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

“But actually, he thought as he readjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connection with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connection that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of time you were expected to make them up out of your head.”
–On changing government statistics – George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
Do you believe the media? Then why do you believe their lying polls?
“Political campaigns today are all side shows, all honors, all bombast, glitter, and speeches. These are for the most part unrelated to the main business of studying the party scientifically, of supplying the public with party, candidate, platform, and performance, and selling the public these ideas and products.”
—Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
–Proverbs 28:1
God’s Word warns that the “wages of sin is death.”
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
–Romans 6:23
But “death” is a wage which is payable upon one’s passing from this present life: sin has other rewards which are gathered and enjoyed in the world in which we now live.
One of the most prominent of these sinful rewards is FEAR.
“The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him”
–Proverbs 10:24
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
–1THESSALONIANS 5:3
“The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor. A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.”
–Job 15:20-24
“And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.”
–Leviticus 26:17-18
Sin makes men cowards. Whatever difficulties the righteous meet in the way of duty, they are not daunted.
—Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary
Fear is a torment which is the province of the wicked.
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
–1JOHN 4:18
While the wicked may have riches in this present life, they also have other considerations: FEAR being chief among them.
There is ONLY one source of real protection: God.
AND, the believer is well aware of this.
So, while the believer may be less prosperous in this life, he enjoys the confidence which comes from knowing that he is under God’s protection eternally and, in many cases, in this present life.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
–Jeremiah 29:11

There is no end to the amount of evil which ordinary men will consider in exchange for money.
“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
–1TIMOTHY 6:10
“The want of money is the root of all evil.”
—Samuel Butler
“I don’t know if Jesus said it in the Bible, but someone said that ‘the love of money is the root of all evil,’ and I do think there’s a correlation between the ambition that a lot of people have, in terms of financial remuneration, and the loss of core values.”
—Norbert Leo Butz
“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”
–Luke 12:15
HOWEVER, men do not need an excuse in order to do evil.
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
–Jeremiah 17:9
Last Sunday in church I began to have thoughts I had not had before. I began to wonder what I would do if a gunman came into the sanctuary and started to kill us. Would I be able to reach my kids in time? Could I protect my wife if necessary? What sort of security does our church have in case such violence comes to my place of worship?
Christians KNOW that God is MUCH better at protection than ANYTHING man can devise.
“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”
–Psalm 34:7
If one wants to maximize a kill total, a church does seem like an inviting target. Maybe my fear was unreasonable, but it was hard to get away from it.
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
–1JOHN 4:18
Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) has always had a problem: what to do when there are too many rich and celebrated doing NOTHING “newsworthy.” When the media gets tired of reporting what the rich and celebrated are wearing, they turn to the tried-and-true method of of fake “feuds” to generate cheap, plastic “news.” Sports, politics and celebrity culture–wherever the rich and celebrated congregate: these are the arenas where readers can most often find stories of “feuds.”
Oh–and pro wrestling…
One can depend on those who labor for the mystery of iniquity to act, in not only an EVIL manner, but also in a very repetitive one as well.
Case in point: when two followers of Satan are working together, one of the first things they do is establish that they 1-do not like each other; 2- they hate each other; or, 3- are fighting against one another.
Democrats and Republicans, Russia and the USA, members of the same family who toil together for evil ends, famous celebrities who are “feuding” with each other: it happens so often, one occasionally has to wonder,
“Does Satan have a university or school where he teaches his followers these tricks?”
—-University of Satan?
If “God” is merely a combination of brain chemicals, then an atheistic society would have an interest in manipulating those chemical balances in order to eradicate potential challenges to the established order.
Eventually, God can be declared to be nothing more than a mental illness. Anyone believing in God in such a society would surely have to be crazy.
In 2014, many American churches have learned to manipulate the atmosphere to create illusions of the LORD.
The idea that atheism or an atheistic society will be the primary threat to end times true believers is a popular myth.
The true threat to believers will not be an atheistic one but one that arises from a corrupted form of Christianity. This clever satanic counterfeit will fool most of the pew-sitters who inhabit the churches.
Many will be convinced they are worshiping the God of the Bible.

“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
“American journalism (like the journalism of any other country) is predominantly paltry and worthless. Its pretensions are enormous, but its achievements are insignificant.”
― H.L. Mencken
“Things are never quite what they seem. Events are seldom close to how the media and history portray them.”
“It is a free press…There are laws to protect the freedom of the press’s speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press.”
–Mark Twain, speech: License of the Press
“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it.”
—Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda
“Journalists” are story-tellers. Nothing more, nothing less. Sometimes, there is an element of truth in their stories, but truth is not a requirement of what they do.
1- Obama has killed more Muslims than any other U.S. president.
2- The information for the “Obama is a Muslim” meme comes from the Corporate Media, which leaves this low-hanging fruit on display so that others in the Alternative Media can pick it and make the “discovery” that “Barack Obama is a Muslim!”
3- In the event that the alternate media doesn’t pick up on the “Obama is a Muslim” tidbits, the Alternative Corporate Media does it for them.
4- Obama has demonstrated NO evidence that he has a sense of right and wrong of ANY kind.
5- Most of the information which has been published by the Corporate Media for the “Obama is a Muslim!” story has been supplied by Obama himself, either in words or the many pictures available.
6- Either you believe the Corporate Media has been Obama’s willing lapdog or you don’t. IF you do, then you cannot also believe that the Corporate Media would publish ANYTHING detrimental to BHO. It takes a certain disconnect from reality to believe that the Corporate Media wouldn’t have made “inconvenient facts” about Obama disappear. They scrub facts, photos and entire articles regularly.
There is not one inch of print or 30 seconds of airtime that is not accounted for. “Mistakes” that are not erased are meant for viewers to see, for whatever reason.
THE CONCLUSION:
If one believes the “scoop” that Obama is a Muslim, one won’t likely go looking for other reasons why he does the things he does.
There are worse things than Radical Muslims–as many Americans will soon find out.
This is one BIG reason “preppers” who place their trust and faith in GOLD will likely be sorely disappointed. FDR made it illegal for Americans to own gold and they had to surrender it to the government or risk prison.
One would have to be deceived or extremely gullible (or both) to believe that those who control the world have not considered that there are those who would hoard gold and silver for the times of chaos which are to come.
But those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it, as they say.
It has also been said that those who place their faith in the things of this world are foolish.
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”
–1John 2:15
Voters think Iraq may already be lost – President MomJeans, who has played the part of the undercover secret Muslim, will be blamed for “losing” Iraq and MUCH more which is to come.
This backlash will climax in 2016 when Americans, hungering for a cowboy president to lead the country into foreign adventures against the evil Muslims, will get their wish.

This fourth faithful saying has as its heart the gospel, Who Jesus Christ is and what He has accomplished for us. If we err in these biblical doctrines then our faith is spurious and we are among those Jesus Christ condemned in Matthew chapter 7, who in surprised protest will recount their many “righteous works”, while the actual testimony of their lives denied their Lord and Savior in word and deed.
21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:21-23
Paul, by the Holy Spirit, exhorts Timothy with the gospel, reminding him that all who faithfully follow Christ Jesus will suffer persecution; we are called to stand true to Him no matter the consequences. He also charges him to be careful with the Word of God, contrasting those who love the Lord and are obedient to Him with those who proffer false teaching.
8Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, 9for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. 10Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. 13If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. 14Remind them of these things charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, right dividing the word of truth. 16But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. 19Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:8-19
The Gospel is first and foremost about Jesus Christ, Who He is and what He has done for us. He is Man, and God, the Son of God. He literally came from the seed of David; He was born a male child and grew up in every way the same as any other child. His humanity is revealed in the Gospels and the doctrine of the Epistles. In his treatise on the doctrine of salvation, the book of Romans, Paul declares the humanity and deity of Jesus Christ.
1Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Romans 1:1-4
The title, Son of God, proves His deity as established in the first chapter of the book of Hebrews. Christ’s humanity is also declared and explained in the second chapter of the book of Hebrews.
8But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” 10And: “You Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. 11They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12Like a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.” Hebrews 1:8-12
9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. 10For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12saying; “I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.” 13And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And again: “Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.” 14Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. Hebrews 2:9-18
The humanity and deity of Christ Jesus are central to what He has accomplished for us. If He wasn’t Man then He couldn’t die in our place, identifying with us, being the propitiation for our sins, taking the punishment we deserve in our stead. If He wasn’t God then His death could not be efficacious for us; He would not have risen from the dead gaining the victory over sin, death and the devil, which victory is ours through faith in Him. He wouldn’t be the Author of eternal salvation and He couldn’t then give us the gift of eternal life if He wasn’t God the Son.
Our salvation rests upon our faith in Jesus Christ, being united with Him in His death, so we are dead to trespasses and sins, and being raised to newness of life through His resurrection from the dead by the glory of the Father(Romans 6:4-5). Our acceptance by Christ and possession of eternal life is completely dependent upon our faith in Him, believing what the Bible tells us about God’s Son and His work of redemption for us. Those who are His will endure, because they have been bought with the precious blood of the Lamb and are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of promise, chosen by God before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). Like Paul, they will endure to the end, their perseverance being established upon the faithfulness of Christ, relying upon the Savior in the midst of persecution and grievous trials of their faith (2 Timothy 2:8-12).
On the other hand (2 Timothy 2:12-13), those who are not born again by the Spirit of God will not endure. They will deny the Lord Jesus Christ, ensuring their condemnation. They will not remain faithful to the Lord, which He requires, because He is faithful and cannot deny Himself. The faithless will be rejected by Jesus Christ in that day to their everlasting shame and perdition. Do not think the judgment due when those who are faithless blatantly disregard our Lord and Savior during the temptations that come to all through either persecution or the attack of false teaching is something the Lord just shirks. He holds all accountable before His holiness. When persecution comes we must stand fast for Jesus Christ and boldly proclaim His truth, the Word of God, the gospel of our salvation. We must encourage one another so we won’t be deceived by sinful faithlessness. The antidote to false teaching is given to us in 2 Timothy 2:14-19
14Remind them of these things charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. 19Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:14-19
All that we believe and profess about Christ must be built solidly upon the sure foundation of the Word of God. We must not be occupied with doctrines and theologies that have their origin in the minds of fallen men which they use to mask the true doctrine faithfully given to us in God’s glorious Word. We must know the Holy Scriptures given to us through God’s holy prophets, inspired by the Holy Spirit. If we are unsure here, we will fall! We will then give heed to foolish and profane doctrines which lead men and women into vile and godless living. Look around you; do you think that devilish doctrines have proliferated based on the godlessness of church goers?
The slander spread by satan is a gross mutation that degrades and destroys profession of the truth. If you are unsure about the origin of the doctrine taught in your church then be a good Berean and test it by the Scriptures. If you earnestly desire to know the truth, our God of truth, our Savior Who is the truth, the Spirit of truth will lead you into all truth. He will teach you to study the Scriptures and then know how to properly handle the word of righteousness. He will show you the way of righteousness and then equip you to walk in it. The Holy Spirit will turn you from the lie and ground you in the truth, if and only if, you truly belong to Jesus Christ through repentant faith in Him. If and only if you are relying upon His death upon the cross for your reconciliation to God and His resurrection from the dead for your righteous living and eternal salvation will the Holy Spirit secure you in the truth. Let us make our election and calling sure by persevering in the things of God and turning from the counterfeit of the world. If you have never repented on your sin and placed your faith in Christ, may God the Father bring you to His Son for salvation. This is another faithful saying that points us to Christ and His glorious gospel of our salvation. May we hold fast to Him and turn from the ubiquitous lies of the enemy. God bless us with His grace and mercy. Love in Christ

VALENTINE’S DAY 2014 QUOTES
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Valentine’s Day is a day particularly celebrated by the world. “Love” is the theme of the day–whether that “love” is true is quite a different story.
Valentine’s Day is usually associated with romance, love and…buying gifts? At least in America, where Valentine’s Day is the second-biggest gift-giving holiday after Christmas.
St. Valentine’s Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines that belonged to February 14, and added to later martyrologies.
Valentine’s Day is usually a much more anticipated holiday among the fairer sex. For men, the day is a more of a duty. For women, it’s a day of expectation, anticipation and hopefully, celebration.
With that in mind, we’ve collected 37 Valentine’s Day quotes–including quotes about love, romance, hugs and kisses. These quotes come from actors, movies, books, songs, the Bible, writers as well as comedians.
Some are serious; some are funny.
This article was originally was titled “30 Valentine’s Day Quotes” but it kept growing for a total of 37 quotes!

THE GREAT INVOCATION, The United Nations, Lucis Trust and What it All Means
Every year in May, millions of people gather around the world for something called the Worldwide Day of Prayer. Sounds good, huh?
Occult author and theosophist Alice Bailey was given the Great Invocation:
The Great Invocation is a mantra given in 1937 to Bailey by Djwhal Khul. The mantra begins with “From the point of Light within the Mind of God, let light stream forth into the minds of men.” with the rest of the passage reinforcing this idea of men acting in accordance with the plan of God. It is well known by some followers of the New Age movement, where it is used as part of meditation, particularly in groups.
—Melton, J. Gordon; Jerome Clark, Aidan A. Kelly (1990). New Age Encyclopedia. Gale Research Inc. p. 57. ISBN0-8103-7159-6.
Djwal Khul was Bailey’s “spirit guide.” K. Paul Johnson [a Theosophist historian and author of esoteric books] called the “masters” (of whom Djwahl Khul was one) “idealizations of people who were her (Bailey’s) mentors.”
Others have suggested that DK is what the Bible calls a “familiar spirit”.
In other words, a demonic presence.
From the Lucis Trust [originally Lucifer Publishing]:
A World Day of Prayer, Invocation and Meditation – An Invitation to Men and Women of Goodwill
World Invocation Day is a world day of prayer and meditation when men and women of every spiritual path join in a universal appeal to divinity and use the Great Invocation. Together they focus the invocative demand of humanity for the light, the love and the spiritual direction needed to build a world of justice, unity and peace.
THE GREAT INVOCATION*
From the point of Light within the mind of God Let light stream forth into human minds Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God Let love stream forth into human hearts May the Coming One return to Earth.
From the centre where the Will of God is known Let purpose guide all little human wills The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the centre which we call the human race Let the Plan of Love and Light work out And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
*In accordance with the changing conciousness and language of humanity as we enter into the Aquarian Age, this “adapted” wording for the Great Invocation is offered in the hope that it will encourage wider distribution of this world prayer.
As can be imagined with anything coming from an organization with such a high regard for Lucifer, the “evil” spoken of in the line, “And may it seal the door where evil dwells” is Christianity.
The “Love and Light” which the invocation speaks?
There will be plenty of both, at least at first–for all those who agree with the Luciferians: for all those who place their trust in the “god of this world,” Lucifer.
Those who disagree? Not so much.
“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
–2 Corinthians 4:4
If all of this sounds unbelievable: believe it.
If all of this sounds positively pagan: it is worse. It is Luciferian and pagan.
The Bad News? It’s coming. In some respects–as this article demonstrates–it’s already here. It’s growing.
The Good News? Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior is also here–and is free for the asking! For now…
SIDE NOTE: It is supposed to be of no special significance that the financial accounting and donations software for Seventh Day Adventist churches is called LUCIS. As stated, of no special significance–just interesting.
