The Future Religion Of The Earth.

It is sufficient to say that Christianity is dying in American and the world. Islam is making leaps and a bounds jump as Christianity is being destroyed and dying right before our eyes. If Islam ever takes a good hold in America then the world will also fall. It seems to me that Islam is the devils religion of the future. People in America are fighting Christianity like they want it defected. Some of the liberal side of politics and some of our educators are following suite. If you listen to the news it seems that Islam is being accepted as the accepted religion. Some of our children are being brainwashed in schools and mostly in our higher education institutions. A Lot of the professors in the universities and collages are vastly liberal and haters of anything or anyone unlike them. They have no tolerance for other opinions outside of their own. I believe America is heading for an Islam take over in future years and without bloodshed. Our southern boarders are wide open and everyone is welcome to come as you please. Islam is about rule and it will be easer for the False Prophet to rule the world if he can control America. I have said before I believe Islam will be the world religion of the anti-christ because it is a take control religion. Americans who support Islam have no idea what they are supporting; women are treated as second hand trash and are worthless in the big scheme of things. You have no right to support anything outside of their religion. There is one rule with Islam agree with us or die! Christians and our Baptist brethren have been through this in what is called the “dark ages” from about the mid 500’s to the mid 1700’s where about 50 million Baptist and other believers were murdered and most of them in most brutal fashion by people like unto Islam. These people like to behead those that disagree with them; when back in the dark ages they used to roll them in lard and throw them alive to the wild animals. Folks the days of the Christian in this world are numbered and Jesus is going to return and it absolutely cannot be far off. I know it will be a blessed day for some Liberals and world religions when Christians are gone, however it will be a more blessed time for us when we are gone. This world is becoming intolerable for Christians and churches. The Lord said Satan controls this world system and one day his people and his religion will also control it. I don’t know how far the Lord will allow us Christians to suffer before He returns, but He has allowed many believers to die before for His glory and He may allow it again before He returns. I ask all believers everywhere to join me in prayer that Jesus will return soon before it gets too bad for Christians. Please remember this promise from our Lord, “For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.” Psalms 37:28

As Many As The Father Has Given The Son.

John 17:2 - 3 “As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (3.) And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

We would like to call you attention to the last part of verse 2 “…that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.” God has given Christ Jesus the power to give life not to the world, not to all in the world, but to AS MANY AS THOU HAST GIVEN HIM. My question is; who are these people? I know some people hate the doctrine of election, however, without it who are these people? Who was it the Father gave to the Son before creation? I know that the though of God actually electing a remnant or people is scary to a lot of folks but isn’t the bible full of God choosing His people? Did not God choose Israel as a nation and even call then “His son” as a nation? Did God not choose Jacob over Esau and loved the one and hated the other? Did not God choose Moses and so many others throughout the Old Testament? Did God not choose to use the Gentiles in the New Testament to build the churches and to support them throughout our time? Did God not choose the Apostles one by one? I know the first church that Jesus started in Jerusalem was made up of Jews but they soon changed to Gentile. God even goes as far to proclaim that He to set the membership in the churches as it pleases Him. 1 Corinthians 12:18 "But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him." God speaks of salvation as Him choosing and Him delivering instead of a creature’s choice and a creature delivering. No where, not one time in the scriptures is the creature told to make a choice, nor to decide whom they will follow Satan or God in being saved. I can show multiply scriptures where it plainly says that salvation is of God and not of the creature but I do not have enough paper to list them all. Again I ask who are these people that the Father gave to the Son? The Apostles, His disciples? Jesus said in verse 9 “I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.” Why did Jesus say He would not pray for the entire world’s population? Could it be that God did not choose everyone in the world to be His? Jesus said in verse 2 “As thou hast given him power over all flesh…” but that He would give eternal life to as many as He (the Father) has given Him (Christ). And then Jesus refused to pray for the rest of the world. If this is not election then what is it? Many Pastor’s will say “God sent me to this work, or God chose this church for me” I must ask why you, isn’t that election? Why do we pray to God to save a sinner? If God controls salvation then why aren’t all that you pray for saved? Can not the God who can turn the rivers where He wants them to go turn a sinner’s heart? People say that God can’t change man’s will, then my question is why are we praying to Him to save a lost sinner if there is nothing He can do. Why do preachers give Him credit for sending them to a church or for building a church? Paul wrote in Philippians 2:13 “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Who, who works in us the WILL and TO DO His good pleasure? Why you, did God choose you, then that is election. People can fight election if they want, but the truth is God elects everything He wants and what God wants is what He chose. And I close with this thought; remember Jeremiah, Didn’t God choose him? Jeremiah 1:4 - 5 "Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying...Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Who chose Whom?

God’s Omniscience Concerning The Churches.

Revelation 2:2 “I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:”

Churches, we all must be reminded; God knows. That’s right He sees everything, He already knows the thoughts and intentions of our hearts before we act. Let us never forget that while others may not know or see God does. The churches are the Lords; they are not ours to do as we please. Jesus started the first church in Jerusalem and all since. The churches belong to the Lord Jesus Christ and to none other. The building and growing is His job and not ours to do. “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.” 1 Corinthians 12:28 Churches are to follow the leadership of God and to react to God, and if they do they will succeed. Jesus warns that if a church does not follow truth and spiritual services then He will kill them. “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:5 God is Omniscient so He knows the hearts and the actions of the churches before we even react. He said to the church at Ephesus “I know thy works” He knows what they have done. He knows the works of the churches pastor, and its membership. He knows if your heart is of righteous works or if they are for show. When anyone serves the Lord He knows why. When one sings He knows why. Jesus Christ is not blind. He knows the liars in the churches and He will deal with them. If you are not going to preach, serve, or sing for the Lord and for no other reason, then it is better not to even do it. Serving in the church is done because Jesus has set you in the church to do a particular work, do what God has elected you for and let the others do what God has chosen them for. When Pastor changes things like doctrine in order to accumulate more members then it has been done for the wrong reason and God knows. If it is not truth then it is lies because there is only one truth, God’s truth. Folk’s God knows and He sees, therefore let us do His blessed will and not ours. I believe when God looks at most places of worship (or churches by name) they are not His and He knows. I cannot imagine the churches in the first century being anything like most places of worship (or churches by name) of today. As their teaching the doctrine that is contrary to biblical truth. God knows, He knows what they are and He knows their intentions and their works. He also knows churches of truth; He knows us as well and will deal with us accordingly. Folks, we are the Lords and He will do with us as He pleases and we must be careful in everything we do. The Lord builds the church so we need not change things to add more members. I would rather have a “candlestick” rather than a million members. I would rather teach the biblical truth with a few, than to teach make believe truth to a million. My labors are real and truthful, and God knows. Our church’s heart is real and God knows, and that is all that matters. Let us always seek what’s real because God knows, He is Omniscient, so He knows.
