Abstain from every form of evil.
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.
Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good
But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”

(1 Thessalonians 5:22;Proverbs 8:13; 1 Samuel 2:3; Proverbs 16:18; Romans 12:9; 2 Timothy 2:19)

Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine. Then all flesh shall know that I am the Lord your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth; that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.
Therefore, all who devour you shall be devoured, and all your foes, every one of them, shall go into captivity; those who plunder you shall be plundered, and all who prey on you I will make a prey.

(Jeremiah 23:19; Isaiah 49:26; Psalm 58:10-11; Psalm 83:18; Jeremiah 30:16)

Gather together, yes, gather, O shameless nation, before the decree takes effect —before the day passes away like chaff— before there comes upon you the burning anger of the Lord, before there comes upon you the day of the anger of the Lord. Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord.
The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come
and the years approach when you will say,
“I find no pleasure in them”
Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation
We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.

( Zephaniah 2:1-3; Psalm 90:10; Ecclesiastes 12:1; Isaiah 55:6-7; 2 Corinthians 6:2 ; John 9:4)

All the things we hold so dear and so tenaciously to are only relevant on this side of existence.
Money, possessions, culture, traditions, beliefs; intellectual abilities et al and all that we think we own, have, know, or appear to, are totally inconsequential and irrelevant where we eventually end up in ‘Eternity’.
We don’t focus on the things that can be seen but on the things that can’t be seen. The things that can be seen don’t last, but the things that can’t be seen are eternal.
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them away; they oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.
I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

(2 Corinthians 4:18; Mark 8:36; Micah 2:2; Luke 12:15; 1 Timothy 6:6-10; Psalm 49:17; Ecclesiastes 1:14)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him
Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other; for in Christ Jesus, you are all sons of God, through faith.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

(John 3:16; Acts 16:31; John 3:36; Isaiah 45:22; Galatians 3:26; Acts 4:12; John 6:40)

CLOWNS IN THE POLITY
CLOWNS IN THE PARLIAMENT
CLOWNS IN THE PRESIDENCY
CLOWNS IN THE PULPIT
CLOWNS IN THE PEWS!
ALAS! THE WHOLE WORLDS IN CIRCUS MODE!
Oh Lord, God, we need You now!
It is time for You to act, LORD; Your law is being broken!
Give us help from trouble for vain is the help of man.
We do not put our trust in Princes; in sons of men in whom there is no salvation.
Our help is in the name of The Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
Blessed is he whose help is The God of Jacob, whose hope is in The Lord his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps faith forever

(Psalm 119:126; Psalm 60:11; Psalm 146:3; Psalm 124:8; Psalm 146:5-6)

Who is on the Lord's side? Come to me.
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
With God we shall do valiantly; it is He who will tread down our foes.

(Exodus 32:26; Psalm 118:6; Matthew 10:28; John 3:16; Galatians 5:1; Matthew 12:30)

For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land.
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”
Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.

( Haggai 2:6; John 15:2; Matthew 3:10; Matthew 3:12 Psalm 37:10)

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am The Lord Who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares The Lord.”

In the past, people did not understand God, and he ignored this [or God overlooked such times of ignorance]. But now, God ·tells [commands] all people in the world to ·change their hearts and lives [repent]. [L Because] God has ·set [fixed; established] a day that he will judge all the world with ·fairness [righteousness], by the man he ·chose [appointed] long ago. And God has ·proved [or given assurance of] this to everyone by raising That Man from the dead!

So it is as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today ·listen to what he says [L if you hear his voice…].
Do not ·be stubborn [L harden your hearts] as in the past when you turned against God [L as in the rebellion; when you tested God in the desert.

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

(Micah 6:8;Jeremiah 9:23-24; (Acts 17:30-31:;Hebrews 3:7-8.) Ephesians 5:17; Matthew 6:33)

You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart.

And the Lord said: “Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men;
Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways, as if they
were a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the judgment of their God; they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God. ‘Why have we fasted, and you see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?’ Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, and oppress all your workers.

Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
That times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus

(Jeremiah 12:2; Isaiah 29:13; Isaiah 58:2-3; Joel 2:12 James 4:8; Acts 3:20 )

A STORM IS COMING: Are you prepared?

Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, disaster is going forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest is stirring from the farthest parts of the earth!
Behold, the storm of the Lord! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked.
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.
His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves,
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
The Lord roars from Zion and thunders from Jerusalem, so that the heavens and the earth shake. However, the Lord is a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore , we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

(Jeremiah 25:32; Jeremiah 23:19; Nahum 1:3; Luke 21:25; Luke 21:10; Joel 4:16 Daniel 11:32; Psalm 46:1-3 (ESV)

Dead Men Walking. Are you one?

Zombie movies are science fiction, but did you know that, spiritually speaking, there actually are dead men and women walking around on earth? They look like everyone else, but deep down inside, their spirit is dead. Truth be known, everyone begins life as a spiritual “zombie.”
Human beings are composed of a body by which they interact with the world around them, a soul with which they relate to themselves and others, and a spirit through which they can commune with God. If the spirit is dead in “trespasses and sins,” the person may still lead a successful earthly life, but he won’t be able to connect with God or make himself acceptable in the Lord’s sight. In that way, the dead can do nothing.
It’s easy to imagine how this is true of someone who has given himself fully to debasing sin. But sadly, there are many moral church-going folks who are spiritually dead even though they are externally religious. However, the good news is that no one has to stay dead. Whenever anyone turns from sin and trusts in Jesus Christ for forgiveness and salvation, God in His mercy makes that person alive with Christ.
And the change is permanent. In John 5:24, Jesus Himself says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
When our Spirit is united with Christ, we're brought to life.
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.

(Romans 8:6; Romans 8:10; 2 Corinthians 4:3;Ephesians 2:1-5; 1 Corinthians 1:18; Jeremiah 21:8)
