“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
Once Saved Always Saved? Don’t Be Fooled Don’t be fooled because all works will be judged. If you say that you are a Christian and you think you have eternal security, check to make sure that you are really right with Jesus because many Christians the Lord will say to; “Away from me you who sin, I do NOT know you.” Make sure that you are really with Jesus and doing His will. Maybe you’re fooling yourself. Maybe you’re convincing yourself you’re going to heaven even though you are in sin because you think you believe in Jesus. Many Christians He will turn away. I encourage you to check your heart. Do you have sin in your life? And if you do what sin do you need to repent of to be right with the Lord? Because Jesus is not going to make an exception for you. Make sure that you are right with the Lord and endure with Him until the very end. Don’t believe anyone who tells you that you can just say a prayer, keep on sinning and be saved in the end. There is no such thing as easy salvation, either you follow Jesus and endure with Him to until the end, or you live for yourself, you keep on sinning, and in the end, you will meet your destruction. May the grace of Jesus be with you.

BILLY GRAHAM, WILLING PAWN FOR POLITICIANS
Billy Graham has died. He is being remembered as a friend and confessor to presidents, one who gave them guidance and moral fortification. But just as much, Graham was a willing tool of politicians who used him and his supposed pipeline to divine authority to win over the electorate.
The role of “spiritual leaders” in cynically playing the public is both important and largely ignored.

Something happened to Billy. His preaching seemed solid in the ’50s, but then he somehow sold out to push the ecumenical movement and the false doctrine of once-saved-always-saved (OSAS), which has produced many ‘Christians’ who do not follow Christ.
Billy turned Christianity into saying a one-time prayer, instead of a lifetime of following and obeying the Holy Spirit, where we walk in “no condemnation,” and have faith to enter when we see Jesus face to Face.
Billy was loved by all, including many corrupt politicians, which is what Jesus warned about: “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets” (Luke 6:26).
Billy even covered for Bill Clinton’s womanizing, laughing as he said it. Even Bill Clinton was comfortable around Billy Graham, who made the road to heaven wide, instead of teaching Jesus’ narrow way.

If we abide in Christ, loving one another (v. 12), we get sap from the Holy Spirit to bear fruit that remains. Jesus then says in v. 11: “that my joy may remain in you, and THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE MADE FULL.”
Jesus says in John 15:
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. 2 Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. 5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. 8 “In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples. 9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love. 11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE MADE FULL.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

We only have the hope of salvation IF we follow Jesus Christ and AS LONG as we follow Jesus, and stay with Him. …
We have to deny ourselves every day, pick up our cross and follow Jesus Christ. To follow Jesus is not an easy way, because we have to follow HIS WAY. We cannot follow our own way or the ways of the world. We have to follow the ways of Jesus. We have to be led by the Holy Spirit and do what Jesus commands us to do. We have to serve Him and His kingdom. Our life must be about Jesus, not about ourselves. We are here to serve Jesus and His kingdom. We have to follow Him every day until the very end. We do not have salvation yet. We have the HOPE of salvation if we follow Jesus Christ and obey Him until the very end.

Excellent, but: the Holy Spirit isn’t always a “voiceless voice” though. He speaks in the “still, small voice” that the demonic voices can drown out.

“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.

“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.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
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.”

… Last fall, Faithit shared the story of Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, Marcus Johnson, who was baptized by his fellow teammates and coaches in a hotel pool prior to a Thursday night game.
Leading the showcase of Bible-believing brothers is star quarterback Carson Wentz, who has vowed to play for an “Audience of One.” Though a major ACL injury will stop him from playing in Super Bowl 52, nothing can stop him from praising God in the storm and leading his teammates to victory. …

“Every Monday night we have a couple’s Bible study. We have a Thursday night team Bible study,” Wentz shared. “And Saturday nights, we actually get together the night before the game and just kind of pray and talk through the Word and what guys have been reading, what they’re struggling with, and just kind of keep it real with each other. To have that here in an NFL facility like this, it’s really special.”
