Apostasy and anarchy – have you noticed the similarities between the two? They are twins in that both are shadows of their former selves. One involves the secular, and the other the religion of our country, and are today unabashedly and morally corrupt. Even evangelicals are slipping and falling in between the cracks into the muddy mire of corruption. Can you say adultery, vice, homosexuality, and other perversions?

As many readers are aware, we are living in perilous times, with governments toppling, wars raging, and weather patterns changing drastically. Something appears to be in the wind. How much longer can humanity hold out?

My friend Stanley (an Orthodox Jew) and his wife Carol are scared out of their wits like everyone else who isn’t Bible savvy, and I’m encouraged to have them over for dinner to talk things out. Their concern is about the state of the nation with all that’s going on in Washington right now.

Under the tyrannical rule of lawless, mentally ill Democrats, the government is now run like an organized crime syndicate. John W. Whitehead of The Rutherford Institute sums it all up perfectly in a recent column:

“All of us are in danger.

In an age of prosecutions for thought crimes, pre-crime deterrence programs, and government agencies that operate like organized crime syndicates, there is a new kind of tyranny being imposed on those who dare to expose the crimes of the Deep State, whose reach has gone global.

The Deep State has embarked on a ruthless, take-no-prisoners, all-out assault on truth-tellers.

Activists, journalists and whistleblowers alike are being terrorized, traumatized, tortured and subjected to the fear-inducing, mind-altering, soul-destroying, smash-your-face-in tactics employed by the superpowers-that-be…

Following the current downward trajectory, it won’t be long before anyone who believes in holding the government accountable is labeled an “extremist,” is relegated to an underclass that doesn’t fit in, must be watched all the time, and is rounded up when the government deems it necessary.

Eventually, we will all be potential suspects, terrorists and lawbreakers in the eyes of the government.” – Source

At the same time, Benjamin Netanyahu, like President Trump, is being accused of corruption; and his governing body is under strain. (Could it be that the same Satanic forces that are hounding President Trump are out to topple the Israeli government as well?)

And it gets worse. Corruption has infiltrated the church as well. With new man-made ideas, programs and “Shows,” they hope to reach the masses of Bible-illiterate young people with entertainment when what they really need is the unadulterated Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Entertainment is only good for a fleeting moment of time, but the Gospel is forever. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word endures forever.” So says the Lord of hosts (countless many).

Apostasy is gripping the church, and many are crying out to be swept away in the rapture, dirty clothes and all.

But the Church has become a playground for Satan. God has let him loose to wreak havoc in many a congregation with extremely loud and uninspired music written by uninspired men and women for the sake of a good show. Women have taken over the pulpit, and homosexuals have been let in to run the “Show.” They ought to have at least acknowledged their sin and repented before gaining entrance. Instead, they are mounting the pulpit too.

“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” “But God has laid upon Him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all.”

We are being shaken to the core so that all that remains is a complete dependence on God Almighty. No more cocky attitudes, social clubs, dressing the part to cover our nakedness as in – “whitewashed sepulchers full of dead men’s bones,” God is cleaning house once and for all. He wants an unblemished and holy wife at the marriage supper of the Lamb, not a wimpy social climber out to impress others with their fake holiness.

Even though we have been blessed with things unnecessary to life (look inside your garage), we are still hungering for something more. We need spiritual food that can only be found in the word of God – and to adhere to it in deep humility. As this Spiritual war wages on in government and the church, if we are not careful, we could be deceived into believing the lies of the enemy (Satan) – as so many already have.

If ever there was a time to get our act together, it is now. The time for “playing church” is over. We must get real, and many of us must repent for our apathy. We have a lot of catching up to do as quickly as possible as prophecy unfolds at an alarming rate.

I know all this sounds preachy, but these are serious times that call for serious reflection and repentance. We Christians have been dozing off at the wheel and are in for a rude shaking in the days ahead; and if we don’t wake up, we will fall prey to apostasy and anarchy.

Don’t be left behind to face the unimaginable horror that awaits those who chose to deny the signs of the times. Those who know our God can rest in assurance that He will prevail and bring about His eternal kingdom of bliss and harmony. Hope to see you there.

After the third attempt I finally was able to give Genesis the new purple Bible I bought for her. As I handed it to her, she was beaming from ear to ear and almost jumped out of her skin with joy. Two other young waitresses watched the transaction, wondering what I had given her – maybe it was a bar of solid gold! Genesis clutched the new Bible to her breast as though she had never owned or even seen one. Like I said in my previous article “Hallelujah,” she didn’t know her name appeared in such an important book – a God-breathed book – and it’s taken her by complete surprise. This amazing book is worth more than all the gold in the world.

I wrote a letter about the contents and order of the Bible: The Old Testament, The New Testament and what they meant. The prophets, the history of the Jews, Moses, who David was, the psalms of David, and finally – The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and placed it inside her new Bible.

Way too many people have never read the Bible – especially the young people of today; and so they go about trying to make sense of life by following New Age cults, Buddha and other man-made philosophies and Ideas. Some even go as far as following after Baphomet (Satan himself) and joining Witch covens. After failing to find peace and hope that only the God of the Bible can give, they, on their own, with their own rationale, fall into hopelessness with some even finally committing suicide out of complete despair.

UPDATE ON CHURCH MATTERS

In the meantime, the faux leaders at my church have fixed the voting, saying it didn’t count because of spies sharing the results? (like the Democrats they are – who fake voting numbers and procedures – then claim that they lost because of this and that, this ploy is taken directly from the Saul Alinsky playbook Rules for Radicals” – a book that exclaims “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history… the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”) This took place recently to put in place an inexperienced pastor who just happens to be black.

They claim that the voting was prejudiced because of the young man’s race. Not so. They also claim that two spies handled the ballots and passed along secret information to those opposed, and this warranted annulment of the process, even though they fell short of the desired 85% vote. So it is that these people proceeded to go against the will of the majority. On top of all that, the voters had to be present to vote and show a valid ID in order to do so. Not only that, but many members are “Snow Birds” who never had a chance to make their voices heard – boy are they in for a surprise when they begin to arrive after the holidays and they find everyone walking around in torn jeans and bopping to strange rhythms – no more suits filled with stoic and wooden men.

The new leadership can’t help but fail for the lack of money to run such a big church and are already showing signs of desperation and begging for money outright, buttering up the wealthy widows in hopes of garnering money to help defray costs. Maybe they should all take a cut in pay to help put a dent in the shortfall. But I’m sure that won’t happen. Except for Robin Hood, criminals are not known for their generosity. These wolves in sheep’s clothing are sure to hang themselves anyway for all their plotting. The guilt (if they have any) for destroying the faith of many is on their heads.

The affected congregants will view the things of God with seriousness. Both sides may find themselves repenting for not taking the things of God more seriously. The Word of God says that in the “Last Days” He is going to do some serious shaking; and unless you are well-grounded in Christ, your false religion and man-made assumptions are sure to crumble.

Funny how, at the very same time, another church in Naples is collapsing because of the machinations of manmade thought and practices. The Lord’s Way church – a branch of James MacDonald’s Harvest Bible Chapel, a 40,000-member church located in various campuses throughout the country – with its home base located in Chicago, Illinois, has come apart at the seams as well.

Former pastors are being displaced or leaving the church for one reason or another. The false ones are part of the last days falling away. They never had true faith to begin with.  For example, it was disclosed on Axios, that former evangelical megachurch pastor Josh Harris said he “excommunicated” himself from the religion that propelled him to fame. Harris, who renounced Christianity earlier this year, told  “Axios on HBO” that he ruined lives and marriages while he served as one of the country’s most well-known evangelical pastors. “If you’re not living according to the teaching of the Bible, and you’re living in unrepentant sin, then you have to be put out of the church,” Harris, 44, told Axios. “I excommunicated myself, essentially.”

This pastor was dependent on his own rationale and says he has now changed his mind on what he was preaching, which goes to show that he apparently was all along in a state of confusion regarding true faith in Christ.

Satan is sure to trip you up in any way he can and sometimes uses pride to bring us down.

Churches are being shaken to the core, and only those who truly are in Christ (who are the real church) will be taken away in the soon-coming rapture of “Believers” in Christ.

But the shaking was and is necessary to sift the wheat from the chaff on the threshing floor of Almighty God.
