The devil is on the loose.

 Looks like anti Christian mentality is sweeping America, A great Christian nation being mocked by a handful.

I’m assuming most of you heard about Phil Robertson who when asked about his opinion about certain life styles had decided to reference scripture found himself being terminated from A & E. As a result.

I heard about a particular school in New York that had a Christmas party for the children but took certain words out of the song silent night as to not offend those outside the Christian   
faith.

No problem offending Christians I see. I do want to mention the parents got up and departed the school with their children, I applaud them for standing up to this injustice.

Then countless stories I hear about Christian displays taken down because they offend certain folks.

Now at first these things caused me to be dismayed but afterwards they caused me to see the hand of God in all of it, Thanks to the understanding I am learning here.


 No doubt the devil is on the loose in America, but we here at B.T. know the final outcome, praise the Lord because God has it all under control!!!


Peace and love to all.

Such is the ways of the world

Does Christmas have something to do with Jesus.....who knew

As for that devil fellow I like what Ray said here:

Jesus once told Satan to: "Get thee BEHIND ME" (Mark 8:33). Why, "behind" Him? Because it was offensive to Jesus to have Satan in FRONT of Him. Satan has no business IN FRONT of Jesus. Jesus told Satan to: Get out of my FACE, Satan; Get thee behind me!



I like the get out of my face bit

                                                              Hi Rhys,

I couldn't agree with you more, ( who knew ) Now that I think of it, God does say, ( come out of her)  I guess its not just the church but its traditions as well.  ::)


Peace and love to all.

Not a knock Rick, as we all slip back into Babylonish utterances from time to time without realizing it.  Satan isn't on the 'loose'.  God is still sovereign and on the throne of the universe.  Satan can go no further than what the Father wishes him to go.  Remember that when Job was tested that God set specific limitations as to how far Satan could go with him.  It's the same with us.  It's simply part of God's plan and what appears to be out of control......isn't.  The Duck Dynasty show isn't really my cup of tea and I do admit that it's refreshing to see the media elites have to back peddle a bit as they are getting some blow back that they didn't expect.  As much as Phil and his group are sincere [I fully believe that] and are operating within the truth that they have, if you or I were to walk into their church and attempt to teach them that God isn't going to burn the homosexuals in their Christian hell for all eternity I think you can discern what the reaction would be.

God bless!!

God is calling a special people and of those He is calling and perhaps choosing he says they should worship God in "spirit and in truth".
To me that means worship without any thing added or taken away from true worship.
God doesn't like,(hates) to be worshiped as one of many god's, even as the greatest of many gods. So in other words IF we are led to worship the true God then our worship should be pure and without any admixture or leaven. For a little leaven, leavens the whole lump.

So then it seems to me that during our relationship with God we should expect to become spiritually de-leavened, much like the preparation for the physical Passover. Of course even this process is of God and not our works.

In Rev. 3 the Lord sets out the criteria for worship, in verse 16 they are admonished to be either hot (really invested) or cold (having no calling) rather than to be room temperature, lukewarm, just like everyone else who follows their own mind and heart or the traditions of men.

That is my understanding. Please feel free to correct.
Thank you, Indiana Bob
