Can people choose to step back from 'god', 'christ' & 'truth' even when they experience it first hand?

Three striking examples of this were Thomas, Peter, and Judas when each of them at a crucial moment stepped back from what they knew as true in dramatic fashion.

Although Thomas personally experienced many of Jesus’ miracles, he DOUBTED the miracle that Christ rose from the dead unless he had proof it was true. Peter - at a key moment that was going to embarrass him for being a follower of Christ - DENIED and even cursed the fact he even knew him. Lastly Judas, once a friend in Jesus’ inner circle became a DEFECTOR who decided to align himself with those that hated Christ and all that he stood for.

If you are not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, then YOU are one of these three types of people.

You either DOUBT who Christ is, DENY and are ashamed to associate yourself with Christ, or are a DEFECTOR and enemy of God and all that he stands for.

Friend, the choice to be a DOUBTER, DENIER, DEFECTOR, or instead a DISCIPLE of 'GOD','CHRIST' & 'TRUTH' is entirely up to you.

Which one of these four types are you?

Several years ago, I was called for jury duty. Upon checking in, I received my juror number, was directed into a large room of a hundred people and told to come forward when my number was called.

After almost an hour of waiting, a clerk came in and announced: “Number 153”

Nobody stirred, and I assumed someone was not paying attention.

“Number 153?” The voice cried out again in a slightly louder note, and again no one answered. Then an exasperated cry of “Number 153!” and I realized that I WAS 153!

After I answered the call, I was one of the jurors selected, however if I wasn’t listening or chose to ignore the call, I could have NOT been “Chosen.”

God’s call to you is exactly like being in that room full of people. It’s easy to get preoccupied in this room of life, but Jesus is calling your name. As He said, 'many are called' - but in order to respond you must listen and pay attention to hear His voice.

Friend, this is true for you too. God is calling your number right now! Your name has been selected for heaven and eternal life as you read this, and the question is:

WILL YOU ANSWER THE CALL?

It has been said that the most important thing that Satan wants you to believe is that he doesn’t exist. So far for most people (maybe even you?) he’s doing a great job!

Think about it. If you don’t believe that there is a devil or satan, then therefore there is no hell, and if there is no hell then you have nothing to worry about, right? Because when you die (and we all WILL die) you naturally believe one of two things. Either 'it’s simply over' and you cease to exist. That is, it’ll just be like going to sleep and having no dreams and never waking up. Either that or everyone auto-magically goes to some sort of Nirvana of peace and love.

On the other hand if there IS a SATAN then logically there also must be a HELL which also implies that perhaps certain people could wind up there (!?)

This presents anyone that thinks about this for at least two seconds with a serious question…IF there is a Satan, and IF there is a Heaven and Hell, what does that mean for you? And that is the question presented to you as you read this.

Friend, here is the bottom line — and you can either believe this or dismiss it as religious superstition. Satan is real, and he’s got you in his cross hairs. But here is the good news of the Gospel in a nutshell:

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9

Is Satan real, or is that a LIE? You decide...Then What Will You Do About It?

Why was Jesus subjected to be tempted by the devil?

Well, for the same reason we all face every day, and that is, to learn how to successfully overcome temptation.

This hard test was an extreme example to show that no matter what the devil offered him, He was strong enough mentally, physically, and spiritually to overcome temptation and he did this by boldly declaring the Word of God to rebuke every temptation the devil offered Him. His example in the wilderness showed us how we also can be VICTORIOUS in our daily temptations as well.

Today, we too are living our lives in the 'Wilderness Of The World' where we are constantly exposed to The World, The Flesh, and The Devil. Yet, because “The power that raise Christ from the dead dwells in us” (Romans 8:11) and by also standing on the Word of God as Jesus showed us, we too can overcome temptation.

Friend, if you find yourself at times seemingly unable to turn away from a temptation, just as Christ had victory, so you too can have victory.Remember Jesus’ example and Embrace the Wilderness!

Looking at the growing chaos happening in the world, we have to ask ourselves, 'Where does such chaos come from?' and today’s verse from Micah 2:1 gives the answer to this and draws an import distinction between SIN and INIQUITY.

While we all sin, the difference between the two is this:

SIN in is -Not- Inquity, but All INIQUITY -Is- Sin.

Iniquity is not just doing wrong, but in expressly executing evil. The Apostle Paul describes these as people that reject any acknowledgement of God, have depraved minds, and are filled with every kind of wickedness and malicious behavior. He concludes in Romans 1:32 saying that those that act this way not only celebrate these things, but approve of others that also do such things.

As today’s scripture reference says depraved evil is preceded by deliberate planning. Those that work iniquity meditate on it in the darkness of night, then put it into action. 911 was an example of a once unthinkable thought of crashing jets into buildings. Such imaginations are inconceivable for a moral mind, but an expected outcome from a mind of iniquity.

Jesus said the end result of this iniquity will be a time of great tribulation “..that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now - and never will again.” The only safety from the coming breakdown and anarchy in the world is in the salvation God offers to all who repent of their SIN and believe on Christ.

Friend, the signs are all around us. The end of life as we have known it is coming rapidly to an end. Seek God and believe this word:

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
