I just Emailed BLM and asked them if the life of an African-American baby still in the womb matters. Doubt it though if they will have the courage and decency to respond. On a number of occasions I have asked them what MLK would think of BLM. Also if the lives of the African Christians, who are subject to torture, imprisonment and death on a daily basis matter. Still waiting for a response.

I highly recommend looking up and prayerfully watching

Good morning Michael. It seems to me that you disagree with me. Does that make me wrong? Well it could do; but there again

For instance Philip the Evangelist had 4 daughters who prophesied

John UK wrote:
Women of course are never called to preach the gospel, which is why the Lord does not give them insights into this aspect of the Christian life.

All of the Redeemed are called to preach/witness the Gospel _ AND NO! Not all of us are called to P A S T O R

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.

Whew! Too much to say and not enough space here. So for this time may it suffice Scripture tells us draw near to God and He will draw near to you.... Something both men and women can do, or neglect to do

In my humble observation a woman can seek God (do you remember Jer 33:3?) and be taught and let into the Truth by the Holy Spirit every bit as much as a man who does the same thing.

Pastors need prison time as part of their training. Unless they are pastoring a health, wealth and prosperity church.

Why?

Because by way of observation Satan who is very much smarter in his fallen intelligence is not above attacking a pastor, any pastor through persecuting his church, wife and children, causing bad consequences for his community

Moses told Pharoah, 'let My people go.'
So Pharoah made it worse for the LORD's people.... and they got angry with Moses and Aaron for making it harder on them.

Please do humbly honestly watch the well research documentary and seek the Lord until He leads you in what you might do

Michael,C- yes, Calvary Chapel was the first to point out that one’s spiritual health was essential. But, then Chuck Smith never asked or preached to his congregations to Not participate in or try to shape their community through political action. MacArthur separatism doesn’t hold up well during the end times.

I have been blessed in the past by Matt Trewhella who has spoken with a Biblical Voice on the matter. Here is a reference

Compliance, to the ungodly in Government (we abandoned it to them) has given us an est. 1.5 BILLION Babies murdered in Abortion Worldwide while preachers like John MacArthur discouraged any active an open opposition to it.

I considered where best to place this post.

The Back Story: A Christian Woman attempted to paint over a Black Lives Matter sign on the street in NYC _ Why? What is going on here And how important is it to us who profess to be Christians who belong to the Lord Jesus Christ.

This interview is just over 30 minutes long but IMHO a must hear, a must prayerfully hear interview for the Truth God Sovereignly has by His servants put into it

It seems odd to me. Weeping for that sinner one minute, the next you've killed him. What's it all about?

Maybe like having others analyze whatever it is that your have or haven't done or said to death.

God, help me if I can see it or think I see it in others I can be so guilty of the same kind of thing may self

Where is the forest? Gotta put that ol' chain saw to work again.... so I can see to love others, even if they be packing to shot me, with the same love Jesus loved me with.

Love you my brother gotta start ,working on cooking supper.

Wow! Bust into an after meeting dinner party univited. Weep over Jesus' feet, wash them with tears, dry them with long hair and get what?

Grief (a real thorough analysis if you are even close to doing it right in their eyes) from the Pharisees

The Christian life is wonderful.

John UK wrote:
A humanist (Reidhead says) is seeking to save good people from a vindictive God, believing that Jesus has made salvation possible for all, therefore we must tell everyone the good news that Jesus will give them a new life and the vindictive God will not punish them. But the Christian says that bad people are saved to the glory of the good God's grace. Whenever I see this salvation, then I weep, tears of joy. OOS

Dear Brother John, That wasn't at all what I was talking about in regards to weeping [I haven't forgotten Paris Reidhead's sermon]. Weeping that we more along the lines we can be such incredible monsters of iniquity and like it was said of Whitefield men don't have the sense to weep over how sinful they are is more in line with my thinking.

God's grace saved a wretched slave trader and the though of the sin in his life (mine as well) breaks the heart

John UK wrote:
Much love to you also, dear brother. And may the Lord bless your work in his name. Amen.

No! I was not talking about a technique but rather of heart, a broken heart before God. I think you know me well enough by now that you know that.

Since this thread refers to LGBTQi people being whitewashed as good caring people (btw humanly speaking they often do care, again humanly speaking) who are thoroughly sinners in the sight of God. It has been heartbreaking their "caring" for people has been so perverted and corrupted many are passionately pro-abortion with no qualms of turning a mother into a murderer, pretending abortion is such a good thing.

Hello bro, and welcome back to the Reading Room, where most are asleep, and some have finally run out of tobacco.
1. It is in the way I mean it. But hey, don't bother to work it out, why waste time.
2. Bro, some can turn on the tears, others not so. You can tell people to weep, but you cannot make them weep, even if the situation is weepable. I will rejoice with them that rejoice, and I will have to make do with having compassion on those that weep.
3. Brother Michael, I love it when you post directly. Some wear a mask, so that they can pretend Christianity (oh yes, there are some here like that), but with you, I appreciate your forthrightness. I know you won't always be right, but sometimes you are and I hope I respond properly to that.
Michael, if you wish to convert sinners to Jesus Christ, can I recommend you do any weeping at home, and before sinners show them the joy of the Lord, and how wonderful it is to know the Saviour. I myself have a mission in Asia and seeing great gospel results.

John UK wrote:
and is unaffected by our tears.

We are instructed by Him to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice.

There are times He calls His people to "weep" Isaiah 22:12-14

We should NOT pit the Sovereignty of God against the Holy Righteous Compassion of God. [hint: Jesus was willing to use His Power and Authority for those who did not deserve it, were not worthy [grace] on behalf of those the world viewed as insignificant.]

Doesn't the word of God tell us when Jesus saw the multitude He was moved with compassion for them because they were distressed and downcast like sheep having no shepherd.

1.5 Billion Babies estimated murdered in the World since Roe v Wade ... we cannot sit in ease and pretend Judgment is not coming [It begins with the House of God doesn't it]

Flee the left
Don't let anyone tell you that you are anything less than a human being made in the image and likeness of God

Don't let anyone tell you that you have no Savior
you are someone Jesus Christ died and rose again to save from your sins and from all who would hate and exploit you
