Building on the Foundation

Multiple commandments just seem to get overlooked, and I think that’s a real tragedy. Most of these commands are little commands, the smallest of commands, even, but they are still direct instructions from our Father in Heaven, which means we should take them seriously.  Faithfulness in the little things demonstrates our readiness to handle the big things and the things we consider to be important. We should take the little things a bit more seriously than we do, and instead of trying to moralize everything, as Christianity has been trying to do for generations, we should be absolutely obedient.  Most of these commands aren’t that difficult to follow either, and following them teaches us something important, both in diligence and in the actual command itself. God didn’t tell us to do things arbitrarily, and this knowledge of His nature gives us the ability to trust that His instructions are for our good.  One of these often overlooked commands is found in the instructions...

What is grace?   The Bible tells us that “ There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one ” (Romans 3:10-12.) And further in verse 23 “... all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness ” (1 John 3:4.) It does not matter how well you have lived your life, how many times you have resisted temptation and obeyed the law instead. You have sinned, we have all sinned.

The rest of that verse introduces the concept of grace. “ But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord .”  Our Savior Jesus the Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) divested Himself of His glory and came as a morta...

  “Where are all the good men these days?” I'm sure you've heard this question at some point in your life, and perhaps even asked it yourself. The answer is complicated, not so much by a lack of one as it is by the answer being uncomfortable. You see, the good men are still out there; they are just in the minority, driven underground by a fiercely feminist society .  As I've explored in previous posts, feminism is the tool Satan has used to destroy societies the world over, whether pagan or Christian, and the death knell of any society is when women achieve social and political equality with men.   It's easy to look at that and go, “Women are the problem!” but we have to be careful not to do that because the answer is the exact opposite of that.  Women are not the problem; men are.   Sure, women rejecting their role and sinning is absolutely wrong, but that’s not what leads to a society capable of collapse. A society that is capable of collapse had a singular th...
