I am a child of the One True King who reigns and rules over everything Almighty God has blessed me with a love of Him His people and His word. Blessed I have been and a blessing I pray earnestly that I may be, to a world of darkness, a culture which does not acknowledge the Lord as God. Rather aspires to place man in the seat of ultimate justice. Being like their father Satan they desire evil. Lusting after the things of the flesh. Placing foolishness before wisdom, and hate before divine Love.
May the Lord of mercy, God of compassion, yet righteous judge of all, draw you with cords of love to himself, break you that in his hand you may be made anew. And form you as one who has eyes to see, ears to hear, a mind to preconceive and a heart to love HIM and those whom he loves. To them who are brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet you with grace and peace through our Lord Jesus Christ, who is both God and man a mediator THE only mediator, THE way, THE truth, and THE life no man shall come to the Father but through him.

Becoming a Christian means the beginning of the most wonderful journey to paradise with the Lord as a member of his family, his servant, He thy Father and thou his son. The scriptures tell us that the people of God are “caused to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading” (1 Peter 1:3-4). The message and scriptures below will help in the understanding of how to become a Christian and receive a living hope through Jesus Christ.
ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE SINNED AND REPENT
“For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” – Romans 2:23.
“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us” – 1 John 1:8.
Your sin separates you from God and leads to death not only physical but spiritual death.
“God is light and in him there is no darkness at all “- 1 John 1:5.
“For the wages of sin is death … “– Romans 6:23.
You cannot get rid of your sin on your own.
“He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy “-Titus3:5.
BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE YOU FROM YOUR SINS.
“And there is no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved “– Acts 4:12.
Jesus Christ, God’s only son, led a sinless life, and yet he chose to be punished in our place.
“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God.”-1Peter 3:18
Jesus died on a cross and was buried. Three days later, God raised him to life again to prove that death was defeated.
“Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures… he was buried…he was raised on the third day” -1 Corinthians 15:3-4.
“Death no longer has dominion over him” -Romans 6:9.
God offers to forgive your sins, and he invites us to spend eternity in heaven with him if we accept Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf.
“Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name “-Acts 10:43
“Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He that does not come into judgement, but has passed from death to life”-John 5: 24.
TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND LIVE FOR CHRIST
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”-1 John 1:9.
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”-Romans 10:9.
Salvation is by Grace ALONE through Faith ALONE in Christ ALONE.

Praise the Lord ye his saints, bring forth praise all the earth for the Lord is mighty! His name shall be exalted among the nations, his name shall be exalted in all the earth.
Daniel 2:34-35 34While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The windswept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
comfort yourselves in this reality
1 Thessalonians 4:18: Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
The LORD he alone is God! He will be exalted among the heathen, he will be exalted in the whole earth!
Psalm 72:8 "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea."
Jesus shall not loose on the earth behold he is both God of the hills and the valleys of heaven and earth as well.

Abortion is murder and everybody knows it!
Every child murdered by abortion is your neighbor!
Theology, science, and reason are clear and unanimous there is no legitimate debate regarding whether abortion is the intentional killing of a human being. Everybody knows it is. Even planned parenthood abortionists have shifted away from denying the humanity of the preborn child to advocating for their legal murder while fully acknowledging the humanity of their victims. Republicans know it. Democrats know it. The Supreme Court knows it. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ABORTION IS MURDER.
PRO-LIFE IS NOT ENOUGH
During the last 46 years, over 62 million babies in the United States have been murdered in the womb, with the death toll increasing every day. The Pro-Life movement has had lots of good intentions, but they have refused to stand on the Word of God as their foundation in fighting abortion.
The church must return to the bible as its foundation in fighting for the abolition of abortion.
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.
-2 Corinthians 10:4-5
We as Christians need to have our worldview reshaped by scripture in so many areas…Pro-Life is not enough, we must have a biblical understanding of the gospel and conversion as we proclaim the good news to mothers and fathers considering abortion.
Pro-Life is not enough, we need to grasp our responsibility as Christians and church leaders in the battle to end abortion. Pro-Life is not enough, we must return to a biblical understanding of God’s law – that abortion is the murder of a human being made in the image of God and is a national sin requiring national repentance. Pro-Life is not enough, we need to understand that the goal is not to overturn Roe vs. Wade. The goal is the ending of abortion in our nation. A “right to abortion “is not only unconstitutional, it is anti-constitutional and illegal.
Pro-Life is not enough, we must renew our minds not just in abortion, but numerous other cultural issues.
Pro-Life is not enough, we need to care for the unborn by helping mothers and fathers with adoption, physical needs and/or help to locate pregnancy services and showing them the great blessing it is to have a child no matter his/her physical conditions. Pro-Life is not enough, we need to be pro-children – celebrating children and raising them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man; as are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
-Psalm 127: 3-5
Pro-Life is not enough, we need to engage the church and the culture with a gospel-centered and biblical defense of the Christian faith and the need to abolish abortion.
Yes, Roe v. Wade has been overturned but look see behold our nation does not criminalize abortion, and responsibility has merely shifted from Supreme Court to the State Courts. Soldiers of the Cross, fight on the foundation of the Rock the Lord shall redeem this earth, have zeal for he will have the victory.

“Whereas, it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power if God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history: that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord”
-Abraham Lincoln
“We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!
It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.”
-Abraham Lincoln
“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God or the Bible.
It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.
Direct my thoughts, words, and work, wash away my sins in the immaculate Blood of the Lamb, and purge my heart by Thy Holy Spirit… Daily frame me more and more into the likeness of the Son Jesus Christ.”
-George Washington

Social justice is not the gospel. It is anti-gospel
It is anti-gospel in its principles and its finished convictions; it is anti-gospel in its presuppositions and its animating biases. Karl Marx emerges as the man who, with Engels to carry his water, wished for nothing less than to deconstruct the order God made. Marx hated Fatherly authority. (He was himself a scandalous father who neglected his offspring, who sired a child out of wedlock by his own design and never acknowledged him. He hated divinely formed institutions. He took a long look at creation order, sizing up its glory-tinged dimensions, and then sent into the world The Communist Manifesto, a “scholarly” wet bomb designed for one purpose: to destroy what God made
In response to this poison, we who oppose “racism” and partially in any form know that sins of partiality must surely be fought by all of us, for the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Yet we also know that America has made real progress on such matters, that the past must be handled with great care and that the gospel of Christ unifies through the objective accomplishment of atonement and the gift of regeneration (Rom.6; Eph. 2:11-22; 1 Cor. 6:9-11). Such material, however, is not what woke voices are offering us.
Charles Spurgeon on the issue of the peril of Marxism. In June of 1887 while preaching of Psalm118 he warned of its dangers as well as those especially within the church who advocate for socialism:
German rationalism which has ripened into Socialism may yet pollute the mass of mankind and lead them to overturn the foundations of society. Then “advanced principles “will hold carnival and free thought [i.e., atheism] will riot with the vice and blood which were years ago the insignia of “the age of reason.” I say not that it will be so, but I should not wonder if it came to pass, for deadly principles are abroad and certain ministers are spreading them.
Spurgeon knew that Marxism not only seeds to destroy the foundation of society but also undermines personal sin and the gospel of Jesus Christ in the process. In April 1889, while preaching on Isaiah 66, Spurgeon proclaimed,
For many a year, by the grand old truths of the gospel, sinners were converted, and saints were edified, and the world was made to know that there Is a God in Israel. But there are too antiquated for the present cultured race of superior beings! They are going to regenerate the world by Democratic Socialism and set up a kingdom for Christ without the new birth of the pardon of sin.
I, too, want to join Spurgeon in blowing the trumpet and warning of the dangers of social justice. To think social justice is just about ending unjust oppression, racism, sexism, and gender inequality is to be unaware that it is rooted in Marxism-which has no room for God, individual freedom, the nuclear family, the church, or any form of nationalism.
Social justice is Marxism applied. Social justice is the ethical standard of critical theory. But it is not only unjust; it creates the very thing it claims to solve -oppression. Marxism cannot work without taking away our God-given freedoms and bringing us into submission and dependence on a big government. It is an atheistic world religion that seeks to replace God with a global state that rules the world with an inverted ethic.
Social justice is the godless religion of Marxists. It is an atheistic attempt to diagnose and solve the world’s problems without a divine being, divine truth, and a divine ethic. In addition to misdiagnosing the problem social-justice-prescribed solutions only bring more injustices, more oppression, and more inequalities
In a postmodern world, where ultimate meaning does not exist, social justice offers skeptics a bit of purpose. It gives the world some existential meaning and a bit of hope in an otherwise nihilistic worldview. Though it is a false hope, it is still a perceived hope. And this seems to be a reason why social justice is so appealing to postmodernists
But what is appalling is that social justice has entered through both the back and front door of the church. The church has the hope of the gospel; thus, it is astonishing that the church is entertaining the claims of social justice. And it is not just liberal churches that have opened the door for social justice to enter. Sadly, many conservative churches have invited it in as well
Why has the church been so accommodating? The appeal, so it seems to me, is that social justice in the “new morality,” and as Christians, supposedly, are to support morality wherever they find it. Because Christians don’t want to be perceived as judgmental and racist, they buy into the false notion that critical race theory (CRT) is merely an extension of the civil rights movement. Many churches view social justice as compatible with Christianity because they both condemn racism. Because of these perceived common concerns, CRT is welcomed into the church with open arms.
AWAKE CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS UP TO SPIRITUAL ARMS FIGHT FOR YOUR KING, CHRIST THE LORD!
I pray this has been a blessing, let me leave you with a last word, pray, supplicate to the Throne of the Almighty, read, meditate, put into practice his word. Cry out to the LORD GOD OF ALL to give you a fresh revelation of his glory may he indwell the believer with his spirit to yet a greater measure, and to you who are yet in futile war against my King behold, he holds the heavens and earth and all that is in them in his hands, run to him in repentance and faith, do not live 40+ years only to learn to regret how you have lived, even so then the Lord is willing to save, and commands all to repent.
"He that can say," This kingdom is mine," makes a royal claim. He that can say, " This mountain of silver is mine," makes a wealthy claim. But he that can say to the Lord," Thou art my God," has said more than all monarchs and millionaires can speak"
-C. H. Spurgeon
