The heart is more than a pump. It’s Forgiveness Central…
“Don’t let the noise of the world keep you from hearing the voice of the Lord.”

Perhaps this is how many people think; though, I still don’t understand this mindset. I’ve always been interested in the truth, and when I’ve found it I only wanted to learn more, not go back into ignorance. We should all be lovers of the truth and shun ignorance to live in reality.
Paul in Acts 24:16
“Herein I also practice *always* having a conscience void of offense toward God and men”

Jesus in John 17
20 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one; 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
“Someone has said that modern preachers have been able to do what the church has not been able to do for 2,000 years — make Christ appear dull.”

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
– Jesus in Mt. 5:9
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Gal. 6:9
“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.”
– Jesus in John 15:12-14
“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” – Eph. 4:31-32

“BLESSED … REJOICE AND BE EXCEEDING GLAD!”
Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Preachers have developed ‘ear tickling’ into a fine art, producing a counterfeit Christianity that is now mainstream!

“For The TIME WILL COME when THEY WILL NOT LISTEN to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves TEACHERS AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS; and will TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, and turn aside to *FABLES*” (2 Tim. 4:3-4)

Reverse-Christian Empire…
What goes around comes around — when America bites the dust.
We can’t ignore God’s principles, and expect things to work out.
“Love your neighbor as yourself” – Jesus
wept

Jesus in Mt. 5:43-48:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
A spirit of unforgiveness will keep a record of wrongs and try to enter into your life because of some injustice done to you, that somehow hurt and injured you. Like a wound that has not healed, or that has left a scar you are always aware of. When you continually entertain that spirit of unforgiveness you are in fact releasing poisonous chemicals into your very own body.
Pastors need to repent and apologize to be clean.
And the people need to stop trusting pastors, and research what the Bible really says about who goes to heaven…
…while we still have time to get ready!!
Porn free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Porn free to follow your heart
Live free and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star
Stay free, where no walls divide you
You’re free as the roaring tide
So there’s no need to hide
Porn free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
’cause you’re porn free
“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”
