Scripture Reading: Isaiah 41:8-10

It was over twenty years ago while I was teaching high school math; when one of my math students asked me a question.  It was during lunch time and we were both in my math room munching on the lunch they we brought from home.  She asked:  “Have you read Peter Marshall’s book, “The Light and the Glory.” I knew a Peter and Catherine Marshall; Peter was the Senate Chaplain and his wife was a best-selling author.  But this was co-authored by their son.  I answered, “No.  I was not aware of the book.  What is it about?”  She answered:  “Well, we are using this book in Sunday School class.  It tells about the Pilgrims and how God performed all the miracles for them.”

That piqued my interest.  I hadn’t heard of “all these miracles” that God performed for the Pilgrims in the early days of our nation.  So, after I went home I bought the book.  I read it and was fascinated. 

That fall we had our Thanksgiving meal at our house.  I mean the church’s first Thanksgiving meal; which is, of course, around two weeks before the real Thanksgiving Day celebrated by our nation.  We started celebrating it because why noted a lack of the correct motives in celebrating it with family and friends.  It wasn’t supposed to be a social event and a sports day, but a religious service.  God was to be thanked for His kindness and goodness towards us in giving us a good harvest.

The Wake-up Herald

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 1:4-6

I was brought up as an Arminian; i.e. a man who chooses God.  I never heard the words election used in the Bible.  I could have read the words, but had no idea what it meant.  When I was about 21 years old, I read a religious newspaper that taught “Calvinism.”  They actually were proud and emphasized what John Calvin taught; and I was surprised to learn that is what most American churches taught and believed two centuries ago: the “TULIP doctrine”: 

Total depravity
Unconditional election
Limited Atonement
Irresistible grace
Perseverance and preservation of the saints (Eternal security)

Compared with the Calvinistic five points is the Arminian position:

Scripture Reading: Matthew 25:40

This verse is given as the verse which is used as the one which the Universalist uses to fleece our people into giving part of their money to them in order to think that they are doing this for Jesus Christ.  Look at these recent examples:

The Truth About Halloween
By Robert McCurry

Excited children masquerading as witches, ghosts, goblins, demons, and other grotesque characters skipping through the neighborhood knocking on doors chanting "trick or treat" while holding out a sack in which one is to drop a piece of candy or other goodies ... the party at school, or church, or Sunday School where they bob for apples, tell fortunes, or go through "haunted houses"... decorations of jack-o'-lanterns, witches on brooms, and black cats with arched backs ... It's "Halloween"--one of the strangest days of the year.

Are Halloween activities really just the simple, innocent holiday fun most people believe them to be? Where did this holiday originate? Why is this holiday celebrated?

History provides the answers. Though it was the Roman Catholic Church who designated the October 31st date as All Hallows Eve, or "eve of the holy ones" day, in prelude to their November 1st All Saints' Day, it was earlier pagan peoples who gave the annual holiday the sinister meaning and traditions it still holds.

"The American celebration rests upon Scottish and Irish folk customs which can be traced in direct line from pre-Christian times. Although Halloween has become a night of rollicking fun, superstitious spells, and eerie games which people take only half seriously, its beginnings were quite otherwise. The earliest Halloween celebrations were held by the Druids in honor of Samhain, lord of the dead, whose festival fell on November 1st." 

"It was a Druidic belief that on the eve of this festival, Saman [Samhain], lord of death, called together the wicked souls [spirits] that within the past 12 months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals."

Scripture Reading:  Romans 8:28-31

October 20, 2013

I have used the phrase ‘God’s plan for the ages’ many times, but have not expounded upon it before.  So I thought today would be the perfect time to talk about it.  If we have a perfect God, then He must have a perfect plan.  Thus far, we have learned what it means for the White race to “Be ye perfect,” to be ‘White Supremacists’ and to believe in the perfect incarnation of God in Jesus Christ.  From today’s reading in Romans 8, we can surmise that there is a perfect orchestration of events as they unfold throughout history and our own lives, that give us a glimpse of Paradise, where God’s Kingdom was a done deal for the first man or Adam, which 6,000 years ago (more or less) did not include other races (they have never qualified as Adam-man).  So Paradise was basically an all-White society by Intelligent Design and it was not without a purpose.  Although since that time, it has been obscured and driven in all the wrong directions away from God’s intent.  That’s because Adam-man has not always loved God with all his heart or responded to a divine calling.  God is perfect by way of His promises, none of which have ever been broken.  Prophecy is another element to convince His people that He is the only entity in the universe that can perfectly predict the future.

Scripture Reading:  I John 5:7-8

I’ve never picked an interpolation, a spurious addition to the biblical text, for the Scripture reading before, but a combination of things warrants a review of what should have been learned in church kindergartens when we learned to count with our fingers.  We have had some dynamic guest speakers in the last few weeks.  Dr. Blanchard said that America, for all intents and purposes, is dissolved and we can thank the apostate church prostituting itself for the almighty state.  And then, Pastor Brian Jones gave us a sermon about ‘Taking the Lord’s Name in Vain,’ which was much more than just cussing.  That Sunday, we sang the old hymnal ‘Holy, Holy, Holy’ containing the 3 in 1 gods of the iconic dogma of the Trinity with the lyrics “God in three persons, blessed Trinity.”  It’s ironic that another stanza says, “there is none beside Thee [in reference to Isaiah 45:6], Perfect in power.”  This song has always bothered me, because it’s based on the catholic lie and manmade invention of the Trinity, a word and concept that is not to be found anywhere in the Bible.

Scripture Reading: Psalms 3:1-8

This Psalm was made when David was dethroned from being King of Israel by his own son--Absalom.  Absalom was David’s third son; so how did he get ahead of his brothers?  This story is all part of the bigger one—how David is different from all of the recent Presidents of our nation—the United States of America. 

Introduction

In the beginning of my ministry, I gave messages which covered the entire Biblical career of David, the King of Israel.  These sermons lasted for about four or five years; intermingled along with other sermons.  After I preached about David, I spent a couple of years on the biblical history of Elijah.  Then I spent another couple of years preaching on Genesis 1-11.

As I was about half-way through giving these messages concerning King David, I thought of the following question:  Who would like to trade places with David?   In other words, who would like to live their life as David?

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 5:1-8

A message detailing the consequences of attaching the Lord's name to false doctrine; pastors who teach that "God loves everyone" is taking God's name in vain.
