We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Another book give away


My 92-year-old friend, who is a Korean War Veteran and a retired pastor, asked me to find someone to give this to.  I read this book back in 2009 and highly recommend it; I gave my copy away a few years ago. If you want it, email me at Jude3.gctwm@yahoo.com. Here is the review you'll find on Amazon:

With typical wisdom and lucidity, Erwin W. Lutzer addresses a question that often arises after disappointing elections or events in our nation: "Is God really on America’s side?" To answer, the reader is carefully led through seven vital principles of a biblical understanding of judgment.

God can both bless and curse a nation.

God judges nations based on the amount of light and opportunity they are given.

God sometimes uses exceedingly evil nations to judge those that are less evil.

When God judges a nation, the righteous suffer with the wicked.

God’s judgments take various forms.

In judgment, God’s target is often His people, not just the general population.

God sometimes reverses intended judgments.

Provocative questions for individual reflection or group discussion complete each chapter of the book. Throughout, Lutzer’s insights into how Christians should view government equips them to think "with the Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other.”
