“I Saw You Wallowing and Said ‘Live in Your Blood’” by Ariel Schneider

I hope you enjoy this article, Israel is celebrating Israel’s Memorial and Remembrance Day. It is truly important to remember and look back on events that shape our thoughts and destiny. Article below. Rh

Remembrance is in the genetic code of the Jewish people. Without supervision and adherence to memory the sheep, the people of Israel, would never have survived the wolves and nations of the world. A Jewish proverb: Remembrance and commemoration determine who we are and our relationship with God. “I said to you in your blood live,” writes the prophet Ezekiel.

Without memory we would have no God, faith and everything that makes us who we are. Which is really more important, physical participation in God’s biblical legislation on Mount Sinai, or remembrance? Some of you will probably think that the opportunity to be at Mount Sinai is more important, but no, the memory is more important because it keeps the idea and the belief alive. What use is a live recording of God’s covenant on Mount Sinai if this sensation in the desert had not been reported for generations? Therefore, remembrance and commemoration play an important role in Israel’s life.

Tonight begins Memorial Day. From my point of view, there is no day more holy as we remember those who fell. Yom Hazikaron.

As a Conservative Christian I stand with Israel and the Jewish people. Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they are in the most desperate condition since the “67 war. Shalom to Jerusalem! “memory is more important because it keeps the idea and the belief alive.”

OK Judge Threatens Christian Preacher with Arrest for Using Bible Verses in an Online Protest

An online Christian preacher has been ordered by a Washington County judge in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to stay silent on social media for five years after he expressed his moral and religious concerns in posts about a church that endorses same-sex marriage and a public drag queen performance in front of children.

A team of attorneys with The Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties organization, has stepped in to help Rich Penkoski. They’re asking the Oklahoma Supreme Court to overturn the five-year restraining order against him, denouncing it as excessive and a clear violation of the pastor’s First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion.

We better know what we believe and how to stand for what we believe. Christian persecution is ramping up. Rh

Swimmer Riley Gaines Assaulted by Man In A Dress

San Francisco, California–Former NCAA swimming champion and outspoken women’s rights advocate Riley Gaines was ambushed and physically assaulted by a psychopathic trans activist after giving a speech on protecting women’s sports at San Francisco State University (SFSU).

The attack and vicious crowd proved so terrifying for Gaines that she was barricaded in a 3rd floor room for almost three hours according to Fox News.

The Gender Mafia is at it again. What about science don’t they understand? Well they do understand, this is about acceptance. We must not comply. Rh

‘Null and Void’: Iowa Aims to Expunge Same-Sex Marriageby Ben Johnson

The political battle to defend natural marriage is far from over in the nation’s heartland, as Iowa legislators have introduced two bills that would expunge same-sex marriage from state law and declare a national law redefining marriage “null and void.” The bills come as yet another local Republican Party chapter condemned Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), one of 12 Republican senators who voted for the so-called Respect for Marriage Act.

Republicans in one state seek to end same-sex-marriage recognition —World Net Daily

Republican Iowa legislators introduced a measure Tuesday that seeks to end state recognition of same-sex marriages through an amendment to the state constitution.

The amendment would define marriage as a union between a biologically male and female person. The Supreme Court required states to recognize same-sex marriages in 2015 in Obergefell v. Hodges, and President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law in December, requiring the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages; Iowa’s amendment would run afoul of federal law, which takes precedent over state law.

“In accordance with the laws of nature and nature’s God, the state of Iowa recognizes the definition of marriage to be the solemnized union between one human biological male and one human biological female,” the proposal reads.

“HR508 is really about Federal government operating far outside its constitutional boundaries. Here, the feds are trying to tell states what ‘marriage’ is and is not,” Republican Iowa state Rep. Brad Sherman said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The federal government simply does not have the power to do that. HR508 does not redefine or erase any existing state law regarding same-sex marriage.”

Contending for the Faith Part 4

I have been a Bible student for over 45 years, many of those if not all have been in teaching the Word of God. Over the years I have seen different fads and movements of God proclaimed as the next greatest. Thankfully cooler heads prevailed and we got back to what works best, and that is humility before God and a sincere desire to study and obey the Word.

I have two concerns that I may later elaborate on but one is the new idea that we rely so heavily on the Prophetic. I believe in the Word of God, and every “word” from God must line up with His Word. If it doesn’t it’s false, and if it doesn’t come true it’s false. Case closed. That’s the way it is.

We have become so lazy in this world with all the instant information, that we don’t or won’t seek out the answer in the Bible. We had rather take a quick fix from a “Prophet.” Nothing says Christian more than a dog eared Bible that is about to fall apart.

Final word of warning. Get in a Church or fellowship. Where the whole Bible is taught. It is important that each follower reads and knows the Word of God. Ask questions and contend for the faith! Rh

2 Timothy 3:16-17. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reroof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man or woman of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Contending For The Faith – Part 3

Pastors and churches have become very proficient in getting people “saved,” but not very good at getting them discipled. Preachers know how to pull at the heart strings to get people emotionally connected enough to confess Christ, raise your hand, pray a sinner’s prayer. Don’t misunderstand, there is nothing at all wrong with that. In fact every person has a starting point and that is it.

The Word in Matthew 28:19 tells us to “Go therefore and make disciples.” Hardest part of church life is being taught the Word. Teaching involves letting people know right from wrong in behavior and conduct. Teaching and instructing new converts may seem boring and not as exciting or glamorous as the jump and praise of a worship time, but is needed even more.

New converts may not know much of church culture and little of how to study and pray, WE as the church need to get on the ball and learn how to instruct and disciple newbies. Grab someone and be a mentor. Study after Church study shows us that few people in the pews truly understand what it means to have a Biblical World View. Each one teach one. We are all called to be one on one teachers! Take someone under your wing and be responsible for them.

Knowing right from wrong is not hard, but don’t settle for almost right. In this day and age we need clarity and a firm footing to survive the present evil day. Rh
