Romans 8:17, “And if children, then
heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer
with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
1st Peter 5:1, “The
elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of
the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be
revealed.”
The inspired Word of God teaches that if we suffer with Christ, we shall
also be glorified with Christ. What does that mean? It simply means that
although we are now suffering in the flesh, as Jesus our Savior and Master
suffered in the flesh; so also will we be glorified with Jesus in eternity.
What saith the Scripture? ...
John 15:17-20, “These things I command you,
that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated
me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love
his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out
of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that
I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have
persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my
saying, they will keep yours also.”
When you are a Christian, the whole world is waiting
for you to fall. The world is not the believer's friend, and never has been.
The world is that ”
Here is a powerful quote from Pastor E.M. Bounds (1835-1913), and this is
the part which I so vividly remember:
'The world' includes the
mass of humanity that is alienated from God and therefore hostile to the
cause of Christ. It involves worldly affairs, earthly things, riches,
pleasures, and pursuits that are shallow, frail, and fleeting. These
things stir desire, draw us away from God, and are obstacles to the
cause of Christ. The divorced or torn relationships between heaven and
earth, between God and His creatures, finds its expression in the term
'the world.'” —Pastor Edward M. Bound,
a quote from chapter 7 - "Overcoming The Enemy Of God," from the classic
book titled: “GUIDE
TO SPIRITUAL WARFARE.”
What a great explanation! I agree wholeheartedly with Joshua, who said: “BUT
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD” (Joshua 24:15b).
“This world's getting so weird out
there! Yeah, of course the truth's going to be [shocking]. I'm pretty
shocked what's going on out there! So if I'm shocked by what's going on
out there, why should it surprise me if someone walks in and they're a
little shocked?” —Pastor

The Devil Wants to Deprive People of the Inspired Words of
God
The Devil is shrewd, he knows what
he is doing. There is nothing new under the sun. The Devil is using the
same Method Of Operation today that he used in Genesis 3:1, casting
doubt upon God's Words and changing them. Romans 1:25, “Who changed the
truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than
the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” I fully agree with
something that Pastor Steven Anderson said; I love this guy! ...
“The TRUTH is a thousand times more
powerful than what these liberal churches are selling. The truth is so
concentrated, that just one drop of the real unadulterated truth of THE
GOSPEL, hard preaching—one clear 10-minute presentation of the Gospel—is
more powerful than one hundred hours of NOTHINGNESS in their 'BLAH!'
church or school!”—Pastor

YouTube sermon: “The
Dechristianization Of Our Nation”
Dr. David W.
Daniels make some brilliant observations in the following video. If the King
James Bible contains even 1% of man's words, then how can we know which
words are God, and which are man's? If the King James Bible is anything less
than 100% perfect, infallible, inerrant, preserved, and INSPIRED, it cannot
be trusted...
The Bob Jones crowd act shocked by my
King James Bible only preaching, as if I arrived
on an alien spaceship, but it is only because they have sinfully wandered so
far away from THE TRUTH, that they are offended...

Nothing is as
shocking to me, as the churches accepting DOZENS of different Bible
translations to use! Folks, God has only authored ONE SACRED BOOK! By being
King James Bible only, I have A PERFECT STANDARD by which to try (test) all
things (1s John 4:1). If you don't have God's one pure measurement, than how
can you build a work for God, because it will never measure up to what God
wants; it won't bring growth, it will bring confusion! Using multiple Bible
translations brings confusion, doubt, disbelief and rebellion! Proverb
12:17, “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false
witness deceit.” END
