  • It’s time to take the trash out!

     Are you tired of compromise? Tired of riding the fence? Being Lukewarm? I know I am and I have been. I believe in backsliding, not eternal security because of my own personal experience and through my own study of God’s Holy word.  It seems to me that it is pretty hard to tell the difference between the Holy, Righteous, Victorious, New Testament church that Jesus talked about, from the world these days. People want to fulfill their agendas, please their flesh, and do whatever they want to, whenever they want to, and not suffer any consequences for their actions. But that is not what the scriptures say.

      John 3: 3-7 says that we must all be born again  if we are not we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.

     John 3: 17-21 says that those that love the darkness and do evil, hate the light because they refuse to repent.

     Luke 16 says that we are all called to be good stewards and if we are not, we will go to Hell like the Rich man.

     Luke 14: 34-35 “Salt is good: but if the salt has lost its savior, wherewith will it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out.”

    Matthew 24 says that we are to watch and be ready at all times, because we do not know the day or the time when the Lord will return. We are to be sober and diligent to heed the Lords warning that in the last days he will come upon us like a thief in the night.

     Never heard this stuff before? John 5:39 says search the scriptures; for in them you find eternal life.

     I think its time to take the trash out of the Church. What do you think?

     

  • Still Here……..

     Well a couple of updates:

     1. Chanda’s Mom is back to work and doing well.

     2. Chanda started a new job with Americorps Vista and the Ohio Benefit Bank.

     3. We had a booth promoting the Benefit Bank and the Salvation Army, and raised almost $500 for the local food pantry over the Holiday.

     4. I have an interview at the Gas Station here in town. Please pray that I get the job.

     

     Thank you all for your prayers. Prayer changes things. Be blessed. -Derek-
