Nehemiah 9:6 (NASB 95 ed.)

“You alone are the Lord.
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host,
The earth and all that is on it,
The seas and all that is in them.
You give life to all of them
And the heavenly host bows down before You.”
The other day I posted on my Facebook page that I had an amazing privilege, a God-ordained conversation with two of the residents who live at my apartment complex. I was planning on leaving early and not spending the whole day at the pool, but God had other plans.

To make a long story short, God gave me the chance to speak to an agnostic couple. Although they held this view, the questions they asked, revealed their deep desire for truth. 

We talked about everything from being born gay, who I was in my "old life" (being bi-sexual, a drunk, a sexual deviant, angry, addicted to porn, and more), abortion, and who God and Jesus are. They questioned if Jesus was really who He said He was and was the only way? There must be more ways, right? Excellent questions and engagement we had. I spoke boldly in TRUTH, however, God filled me with understanding, grace, and LOVE that only God could give.  

I used the passage in Nehemiah this week because it clearly states there is only one God. There is only one way to the Father. Jesus said in John 14:6 
I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
They mentioned how they feel like they're good people. I stated by whose bar are we setting that? If it's by our own, then of course we deem ourselves righteous. However, that bar was set by Christ. We have to compare ourselves to a sinless, perfect man, who shed His innocent blood for the guilt of the world.

Romans 3:10 says, 
as it is written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
God alone is Lord. God created, although it seems wicked and lawless, this planet we live on. It was good before the fall. God said it, I believe it!! However, the fall of man is why it is the way it is currently. Satan is the 'god' of this world. The great news is God WILL renew it all one day.

My hope and prayer to ALL those professing Christ, you will get out there and reach the LOST. People need the Lord. They have become hopeless and lost. 

It’s not up to the pastor to spread the “good news”  
…and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
Maybe today saints. 

However, maybe today you will be bold and courageous and seek those who are lost. Time is soon to close on the church age!!

Days of Noah

Noah’s day… 1,600 years had passed from the time of creation  until the flood. If you read the account in Genesis 6 you can see how very bad it was.  It is said, the population in Noah's day was around 6 billion people. Everyone lived so long while re-populating the earth.  Hence the reason AFTER the flood, God made man’s lifespan 1/8 of what it used to be.  Verse 3 in Genesis 6  Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years   In Noah’s day, you had Nephilites. They were fallen angels who were bred with humans.   Genesis 6:4 In those days, and for some time after, giant Nephilites lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times Let us see how God felt about humanity... The Lord observed the extent of human...

12-21-22 Maybe Today

We all seem to pass right by the first four verses in Luke. We get to the part when our savior, Jesus was born but have you taken time to study out the first four verses? This part seems to be omitted when telling the CHRIST mas story, or as we pagans say, the birth of Christ.  Why do we, as followers of Christ, believe that a sinless man came to earth and that His sole purpose was to die on a cross for all the sins of the world. Luke 1:1-4 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught . WOW!! Did you catch it? As Luke penned this to Theophilus, Luke also explained to him that h...

10-03-2022 - Maybe Today

Hello! It has been a LONG time, 3 months since my last "Maybe Today". I was transitioning jobs and also focusing more on the podcast and other personal issues.  I was prompted to write today and discuss false teachers and why the growth spurt seems to be happening all around us. It seems like we hear everyday of someone new shaming the name of Christ or spewing more false doctrine!  Just recently, Matt Chandler comes to mind. I could say a lot more on him and other Calvinists but that is for another time.  Those who follow the ticking clock of the times we live in, know what  1 Timothy 4:1-3  says. However, Jude 17-18 gives us more insight by saying,   But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts .  These are the SAME enemies which have entered the church and  2 ...
