Do You Believe? :: By Jim Towers

 

Do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe he was crucified, died, and was raised again on the third day? If so, you are saved. “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved” (Romans 10:8-10).

Do you believe the Bible is God-breathed and is the inerrant Word of God? I do.

Do you believe we are living the last of the last days? I do, not only because the Bible tells us the events that will take place during the last of the last days but because you can see these prophesied things happening with your own eyes.

Do you believe in prophetic scripture? I do. That’s why I keep an eye open to world events. War and the possibility of war is at the top of the United States Agenda. By siding with Ukraine, we may be funding and enabling them in their war with Russia just to cover for the Bidens’ illicit affairs within that country. Their involvement in Bio Labs and Burisma for monetary gain may have given the leaders of Ukraine the leverage needed to blackmail them. Is it any wonder Joe Biden wants to give the Ukrainian government 35 billion for their war effort? A man will do almost anything to save his skin and his son from having to serve prison time for treason.

I’m reading a book written by Peter Schweizer that goes into detail about the Biden family corruption. He names people and documents secret meetings, as well as company fronts, legitimate and not. Some are Chinese Communist firms, and others are in Ukraine as well as an assortment of other countries where Joe’s political clout was used to rake in millions of dollars for the Biden criminal family. Political corruption is another sign that these are the end times. There are several other current politicians named who are dealing with the Chinese Communists, people whose names we all know, many of whom have sat in seats of power for a long time.

Moreover, since the far left is trying to take over the country to make it a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah, what makes you think we will survive their continued onslaught of breaking the laws of the land. Lawlessness will continue to abound if people with stable and sound minds don’t rise up to put a stop to it.

Dear reader, if you don’t believe these fiascos will move biblical prophecy forward – I beg to differ. If we ever fall into Communism, we will have lost our God-given freedoms. Hopefully, we believers will have been whisked away in the Rapture.

Drought, flooding, and climate change (which used to be called global warming) are wreaking devastation in many parts of the world, but it is nothing that hasn’t happened before. The difference is that these catastrophic events are happening with greater frequency as the time of tribulation nears, just like the prophets foretold.

Already, the computer chips for buying and selling are being injected into some willing people’s hands and will be used for other identifying purposes as well. This method of controlling people will increase as we enter the Tribulation period.

Speaking of injections, some doctors are saying that the so-called Covid “vaccines” are loaded with ingredients that should not be put in the body, while other doctors say vaccinations are done for population control. I always thought vaccines were made to combat viruses, not cripple or kill you, but have you noticed how adamant our so-called leaders are in jabbing the armed forces? Sounds like a trojan horse to me. Oh, and did you know that China produces most of our pharmaceuticals? The Bible says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.”

As if that wasn’t convincing enough, UFOs are making appearances every day and night now in various parts of the world. Are these the signs and wonders that the Bible speaks of?

Distress of Nations is another point made by Old Testament prophets. Who would have ever thought all of this would happen in our short lifetimes?

As for me, I feel called to reach the uninformed and lost, and as my forte is filmmaking, I write screenplays along with articles that reflect on what is happening in the here and now – based on scripture.

Below is an excerpt (page forty) from my screenplay “The Prophecies,” where it mentions Rapture Ready.

BERNIE: Exactly!… I could tell you that we’ve been living in the last days for the past two thousand years… which is true; however, it’s beginning to look like we’re truly living in the last of the last days!…

ED: Do you really think so, Bernie?

BERNIE: (With a raised eyebrow, asks) Don’t you follow the daily news on Rapture Ready on the internet? It tells you all you need to know about prophetic scripture, and the contributing writers are the best. Right now, there are earthquakes in various places – war and rumors of war. Signs and Wonders and portents in the skies. The persecution of Jews and Christians…. It’s all happening right now, even as we speak, all across the globe.

And we CUT TO:

NEW MADRID FAULT is written as if TELETYPE across the bottom of the screen as the shaking fault appears on the screen.

Book review:

“Red-Handed” by Peter Schweizer is the name of the book I’m reading right now, and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be in the know – politically.

My Kind of Church :: By Jim Towers

 

We are all too often confronted by status quo Christianity when looking for a church home. A person can – if they look hard enough – find one to suit their tastes.

Although I hung around with other professional actors, artists, and writers, I never engaged with them in their shenanigans and, in fact, often shared my faith with them instead. While they were groping for a meaningful life, I was firmly grounded in my faith in God. Although I was an actor, I was also a Baptist who attended Beverly Hills Baptist Church. During that time, I also attended Hollywood Presbyterian on occasion as well. Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvy was a favorite in those days, as was Dr. D. James Kennedy, late pastor of Ft. Lauderdale Presbyterian – Florida being my home base. Besides these two Presbyterian churches, I have rarely gone outside the Baptist church for instruction.

Because of Baptist church Doctrine and their emphasis on Bible study, I have been able to grow in faith – the Bible always being my mainstay. The Bible has been my sole guide throughout my entire Christian life; it has always been the determining factor in choosing a place to worship as well. The Calvary Chapel church had been a place to worship during my travels. However, I’ve finally seen and determined that NO church is perfect, and the reason for that is simply because we human beings are so diverse in thought and character that we must, out of necessity, find a place to suit us individually. However, many people view church attendance as though it were a social club of some kind – especially in Florida.

But recently, I read the glossy and well-written “Epistle” magazine available to visitors and those who are members of First Presbyterian Church of Bonita Beach. It made me aware that it offered all the things I was looking for in a church home.

The members there spare no expense in keeping the beautiful sanctuary clean and orderly. This is a classy place. I am impressed by the atmosphere as well – where solemnity prevails during church services. Stained glass windows top the sanctuary, adding to the aesthetics, and there is even an organ and piano. There are also Bell ringers who wear white gloves playing beautiful music on occasion – under the direction of a skillful conductor – an indication that there is a degree of reverential elegance within its walls. The place is teaming with potential, with something for everyone.

This church body is big with over a thousand members – which is also to my liking. That should tell you the responsibility that accompanies such a large congregation; nevertheless, the lead pastor is well up to the task. Articulate, outgoing, and scholarly, pastor Doug Pratt projects competence and organization skills. In fact, all six pastors are, without question, committed to their calling.

There is much to like about First Presbyterian of Bonita Beach, and I happen to like the solemnity, respect for the things of God, and worshipful atmosphere. But I primarily like that it is “a biblically-centered church in the Presbyterian Fellowship,” as is stated on the back of their two-sided business card. I will become a full-fledged member this coming Sunday and hope to be active in some capacity.

Except for the lack of an altar call at the end of the service, you would think you were in an old-fashioned Baptist Church where Christians take their faith and reverence of God seriously.

For me, the timing couldn’t be better since we are living in a time of confusion where the country is being run by lawless and seriously disturbed people who abide by the rules of the jungle depicted in Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. This little poison-filled book is a favorite of the left, and it has drastically changed our country for the worse. Because of this evil little tome, the radical populous is in a state of confusion and is embracing murder, suicide, and drug addiction, while perverts and assorted criminals run amuck in Washington D.C. This devil-inspired little book has bred a leadership that “wins” its victories with deceit, theft, and lies.

Jesus said, “Satan is the father of lies.” One of the primary tenants of this little book is to accuse the opposition of the very things the leftists themselves are doing, and the people in charge of our society have been using that strategy to cripple our way of life. Albeit anyone with a sound mind can see the effects Satanic thought has had on mankind, turning them into puppets who don’t know the difference between a man and a woman, nor the sanctity of life, to say nothing of the hopelessness and futility of humanistic philosophy that only leads to desperation.

One must only look at the results of Godless societies that have forsaken God’s Word to see that such a society wallows in fear and hopelessness. China, Cuba, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Haiti, and many South African nations are examples resulting from such folly.

Satan would win the day if it weren’t for Christianity and a church like this one, which teaches Biblical principles and directives. It is a comfort to know that we can still find solace and peace in a world gone mad. We should thank God for His Word and place to gather and worship Him as we should – in a place that exalts Him.

Book review

Even though he is a little too full of himself, Eric Metaxas is one of the best writers ever. The title of his latest book, Is Atheism Dead? is a play on words. (Remember when “God is Dead” was emblazoned on magazines throughout the country back in the late sixties and early seventies?) Well, the paradigm has changed, and now with new archeological discoveries, the Bible is proving to be true in its written history.
