“You can drink this kind of water when it’s hot, and you can drink it when it’s freezing cold, but you cannot drink it when it’s lukewarm. It acts like an emetic, and it just makes you sick. You just vomit.” – David Pawson
We’ve reached Rev. 3:14-22 which was the last of Jesus’ letters. It was to Laodicea and Jesus used the local geological feature of thermal water with salts to make a point. When it was fresh out of the ground, it was boiling hot and drinkable. When it reached Laodicea it was lukewarm and made you physically sick. That picture is used by Jesus to show how He feels about this church. This church was further away from the ‘throne of Satan’ at Pergamum, than the other churches and so were not troubled with any persecution. It was an insult to Jesus that they really couldn’t care one way or the other about faithful obedience. Well this church was like that. Because of their half hearted discipleship, Jesus said He is on the verge of spewing the church out of His mouth. Half hearted discipleship makes Jesus sick. If a husband or wife felt that way about their other half, divorce would result.

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. 28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me,” says the Lord, “I will repay.” Again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Crucially important message!!! I transcribed these quotes by Rick:
“The ‘Christian’ Zionists created the pre-trib rapture doctrine.”
“…’Christian’ Zionists. You are the cause of America’s decline. … They took control of the churches in America…. They replaced the cross with the star of David. They took the focus off of God and holiness. They put it all on a piece of land in the middle east, and America has gone to hell.”
“There’s no conviction of sin in this country anymore. … ‘Grace is going to cover it. Don’t worry about it…. You’re saved….’ There’s no preaching of holiness, nothing about righteousness, nothing about the fear of God. All of this has disappeared from ‘Christian’ Television. But there’s going to be a change.”
“The ‘Christian’ Zionists are in the hands of people who don’t believe in Christ.”

I wrote this on Facebook a year ago:
They’re DECEIVING us! I’ve seen these LISTS for 40 years, but have never realized until now that they have not presented the balanced nature of God according to what Paul clearly states in Romans 11, and they’re setting us up for a fall. God’s *goodness* is on this list, but not His *severity*. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. If we lose the fear of the Lord we become fools:
Romans 11:20 ..Don’t be conceited, but FEAR; 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches [the Jews], neither will he spare you. 22 See then the GOODNESS *and* SEVERITY of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, IF YOU CONTINUE in his goodness; OTHERWISE YOU WILL ALSO BE CUT OFF [like in Mt. 7:19 and John 15:6].
We’re not being warned — so we’ll be holy — living in the Son — together as ‘ONE!’
12:00 “This is why there is no revival. People don’t think they have to be revived of anything. They think they’re going to heaven…”

This isn’t specifically a Christian video, but it scientifically shows why it’s important to be openly thankful for our food, and to pray for our food to nourish our bodies.
Amazing!!!

EXCELLENT, BALANCED teaching regarding LGBTQ.
But warning: please be careful of Michael, who loves the title “doctor,” what Jesus said not to do. And here he asks people to follow him on social media, but he’s leading many horribly astray on ‘Christian’ Zionism, supporting Talmudic Israel no matter what; though, Jesus warned us of the ‘leaven’ of the Pharisees and whom they were actually serving, and how we must be ‘peacemakers’ to truly be called the children of God, Jesus said in Matthew 5. Michael also blocks those who carefully and lovingly tell the truth about Israel.
But this is really good. Highly recommended. Both parts below:

This video is making the rounds on Facebook. The guy on the left is partially right about context. I wrote this:
At 1:27, that’s probably a mistranslation using definition #2 instead of #1: biblehub.com/hebrew/6601.htm
I most often use the WEB online, which says:
Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed….
God isn’t some pushover wimp. He always has and always will have two sides to His character: “goodness and severity.” Today’s wimp, “once saved always saved,” ‘Christian’ Zionists pastors only teach one.
Paul teaches the balance in Romans 11:
20 ..Don’t be conceited, but FEAR; 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches [the Jews], neither will he spare you. 22 See then the GOODNESS and SEVERITY of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, IF YOU CONTINUE in his goodness; OTHERWISE YOU WILL ALSO BE *CUT OFF [like in Mt. 7:19 and John 15:6].

Many never get free of lust demons. And those who do live free, we need to keep our thoughts pure so we don’t allow the demons in that drive lust.
If one does willfully sin while being free, and the lust demons enter, repent: “resist the Devil and he will flee” — as we determine in our hearts to live lust free — to not give the Devil a place.
We MUST overcome — my article that no one can refute:

My response to Michael Brown’s Charisma Article: Why I Never Drink Alcohol, 9/19/2017
Teachers who say Christians should never drink alcohol are going beyond what the Bible says, prohibiting something the Bible does not prohibit. The Bible handles the subject differently, giving guidelines on how to be wise about how much to drink. Also, many studies show that drinking alcohol in moderation can be healthy, which relates to what Paul said to Timothy 2000 years ago, and as Michael said in the article: Jesus turned the water into wine.
Michael says:
“The lesson here is that we should put greater emphasis on helping weaker brothers and sisters than on enjoying our liberty.”
Michael derives this from a lesson that was about eating *food sacrificed to idols,* which the apostles concluded in Acts 15:20 was a sin — taboo. Michael then applies this to drinking alcohol, which is not in the Acts-15 list, implying we should be as he is, to not drink any alcohol at all.
The truth is we can also stumble others by calling something a sin that is not a sin, placing burdens on others that the Bible doesn’t place on them.
Paul’s elders’ qualifications:
Additionally, in Paul’s elders’ qualifications in both 1 Timothy and Titus, Paul does not prohibit overseers from drinking alcohol. Instead, he says leaders must not be “given to wine” (KJV) / “addicted to wine” (NASB).
An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate*, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine** or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. He must be one who manages his own household well….. And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. (1 Tim. 3:2-4, 7 NASB)
…appoint elders in every city as I directed you, namely, if any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion. For the overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine**, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled***, holding fast the faithful word…. (Tit. 1:5-9 NASB)
* temperate from HELPS Word-studies:
Cognate: 3524 nēpháleos (an adjective, derived from 3525/nḗphō, “to be sober”) – properly, not intoxicated, free from negative influences (intoxicants); (figuratively) clear-minded; circumspect (“sober”), free from life-dominating influences.
** not addicted to wine (NASB) or given to wine (KJV), from Thayer’s Greek Lexicon:
STRONGS NT 3943: πάροινος
πάροινος, πάροινον, a later Greek word for the earlier παροίνιος (παρά (which see IV. 1) and οἶνος, one who sits long at his wine), given to wine, drunken: 1 Timothy 3:3; Titus 1:7; (others give it the secondary sense, ‘quarrelsome over wine’; hence, brawling, abusive).
***self controlled from HELPS Word-studies
4998 sṓphrōn (from sōos, “sound, safe” and 5424 /phrḗn, “inner outlook” which regulates outward behavior) – properly, safe (sound) because moderated, referring to what is prudent because correctly (divinely) balanced (which is far more than being “the middle of the road”).
4998 /sṓphrōn (“acting in God’s definition of balance“) makes someone genuinely temperate, i.e. well-balanced from God’s perspective. True balance is not “one-size-fits-all” nor is it blandly static. Biblical moderation (4998 /sṓphrōn) describes “a man who does not command himself, but rather is commanded by God‘” (K. Wuest, Word Studies, 2, 46). This root (sōphro-, “soundness”) then reflects living in God-defined balance.
Why isn’t this mentioned anymore?:
Paul says in Galatians 5 that drunkenness will keep a person from inheriting the kingdom, and “Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.”
The church needs to know that drunkenness is a salvation issue — a sin by which many are going to hell, including those who have been born-again.
The fear of the Lord is to help us keep from sinning. The fear of the Lord should be taught to help people decide how to treat alcohol.
True Christians are led by the Holy Spirit:
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” (Rom. 8:14).
The Holy Spirit will help us know what the balance is on many things, including alcohol, instead of teaching a prohibition that the Bible does not teach.
What the Bible really says about who goes to heaven needs to be again taught in the church, which I do here:
I wrote these comments:
Jesus spoke to me in a dream that I was in danger of going to hell *merely* for lusting while watching TV. I then did a careful study, and write what the NT really says here, which includes my dream:
“Not everyone who SAYS to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who DOES the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – Jesus in Mt. 7:21

What is replacement theology?
Replacement theology is the teaching that the Christian church has replaced national Israel regarding the plan, purpose, and promises of God.
Therefore, many of the promises that God made to Israel must be spiritualized. For example, when it speaks of Israel being restored to the land, this really means that the Christian church will be blessed. Also, covenants made with Israel are fulfilled in the Christian church so, for example,
- The Jewish people are no longer God’s chosen people. Instead, the Christian church now makes up God’s chosen people.
- In the New Testament after Pentecost, the term “Israel” refers to the church.
- The Mosaic covenant (Exodus 20) is replaced by the new covenant (Luke 22:20).
- Actual circumcision is replaced by a circumcision of the heart (Rom. 2:29).
So, in replacement theology, the church has replaced Israel as the primary means by which the world is blessed by God’s work. Though it is true that the church does replace Israel in some areas such as properly representing God on earth, acknowledging the promise of the Messiah, etc., it is not biblical to say that God is completely done with Israel and that the Christian church is its complete replacement.
“For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, ‘The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will remove ungodliness from Jacob,’” (Rom. 11:25-26).

Francis Chan, transcribed by me:
“When I look at Paul’s life, and he goes around telling everyone he can — people are beating him up, spitting on him, stoning him, whipping him, whatever, but he wasn’t going to stop. I look at that, I go: ‘see, but that makes sense.’ Don’t you look at his life and go: ‘in light of hell, his life makes sense.’ Right? And that’s what bugs me. His life makes sense, because if I really believed in a literal hell….”
One person commented:
Chan was talking about Penn of Penn and Teller, I believe. Ive seen where someone from Way of the Master talked to Penn and that was his response, about how much do you hate someone not to tell them about hell.
Paul “always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men” (Acts 24:16) also makes sense in light of hell. His conscience needed to be clear for his own salvation, as well as to be qualified to lead others.
