The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Revelation 18:4

Title: Come out of her, my people

From what I read in the Scriptures, the U.S.A., the Mystery Babylon the Great of (Rev. chs. 17 & 18), contrary to the hope of many Christians in America, will not repent of her sins: abortion, promotion of LGBT agendas, same-sex abomination, oppression of weak nations, toppling of sovereign governments for the purpose of exploiting the natural resources of their lands, to name a few of the abominations of the U.S.A. that have reached to the skies, challenging the very throne of God.

And the final straw that would break America’s back might well be the expected decision in June 2015 by the U.S. Supreme Court clearing the way for the legalization of same-sex abomination in all 50 states of the Union.

Since America will continue down the path of destruction by war, famine, calamities, pestilences, and slavery, the last call is for Christians to “come out of her,” while there is still time; and the legalization of sodomite union may be a good indicator of when to leave.

Romans 8:21

Title:  Glorious liberty

The common definition of liberty is: “the freedom to do whatever one wants, and often without restraint.”  Basically, those who would demand freedom would assert control over their lives for the purpose of fulfillment and enjoyment.

Primarily, freedom is a Biblical concept, but defined differently as: “the liberty to do or to omit things having no relationship to salvation, that is, to spiritual concerns.”  True freedom is living for the pleasure of God by eliminating things, concepts, ideals, etc., that would hinder us from dedicating our lives to the service of our Creator and Savior.

Freedom starts with knowing the Lord Jesus who is the Truth that sets us free, by giving us the ability to live not as we please, but instead to follow in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus which ultimately lead to the hill of sacrifice outside the city walls.

Liberty, to the world, is a path of life away from God; genuine liberty, which brings eternal joy, is a narrow path of surrender to God through the Word and by the Holy Spirit, to the cross of sacrifice, to the hope of eternal rest at the resurrection.

Matthew 6:9

Title: After this manner therefore pray ye
Whenever we pray, we are actually rehearsing to ourselves the worldview a Christian should take before we even consider asking for our daily bread.
We are to be sustained only for the purpose of worshiping and serving God, preparing for the kingdom, and seeking the will of God for our lives in general, and in every circumstance in particular; other than these, there are no purpose we can relate to that will bring fulfillment and joy that would be relevant up to the moment of death and beyond.
Man is not the focus of his existence;
Man was created to worship and to serve God on earth and in the kingdom for all eternity.

2 Peter 3:9

Title: Not willing that any should perish

To interpret (3:9) as being directed to unbelievers is erroneous.

(2 Peter) was addressed to Christians (1:1), those who have received faith (1:1) and have been cleansed of their past sins (1:9); and this disposition remains for the rest of the letter.

God is patient with those who have been called (1:10) through the foreknowledge of God (1Pet. 1:1), but have left the straight way and have become...

1) (1:8) ineffective and unproductive
2) (1:9) nearsighted and blind
3) (1:10) those who stumble
4) (2:2) those who follow false prophets


And we must understand God's patience gives believers the chance to repent of their sins, because only those who are spotless, blameless, and at peace with the Lord Jesus at his return are truly saved and will receive a rich welcome into the everlasting kingdom.
