More and more same sex relationships are previewed on national TV commercials and in network programming. It continues to grow more blatant. But the pressure from Hollywood, the financial world and political correctness only escalates. Sadder than the lack of any remorse or admission of moral corruptness in this life, is lack of it while even in the depths of Hell!!! The open and blatant rebellion and opposition against God and the lack of accepting any personal correction and life altering actions is beyond comprehension. Both in this life and the one to come! TR In reading through the posts on this thread, I found the Lord bringing several specific scriptures to mind on the following posts: 1) In response to Wendy and her soul feeling vexed... 2 Peter 2:6-9 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished...” 2) In response to Regina’s question of how long… Psalm 94:1-3 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs—O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth! 2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud. 3 Lord, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph? 3) In response to Geri7’s article on Hallmark (figured it was only a matter of time before they caved to the pressure to conform)… Romans 1:28-32 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. Sure seems like it shouldn't be long now... Israel, the 3rd Temple, technology for the Mark of the Beast, the Pope full steam ahead on the one-world religion of Babylon, the globalists pushing to destroy US and Israel as the last remaining obstacles to their one-world utopia, the Ezekiel 38 coalition formed on Israel's northern border while the spoils of oil and gas grow larger, the UN's one-world socialist Agenda 2030, spiritual deception and apostasy rampant. Maranatha!!! Okay, so Hallmark wants to make gay Christmas movies? That'll go over about as well as a BLT with Muslims. Indeed we will be given a new Earth. And it will be filled with only people who love and honour God. Our days of sin, disease, sickness and death will soon be over! Truly we are sad and grieve for all that we have known which has been corrupted. Our battle with evil will also soon be over. The memories of our heartaches will be taken from us, knowing only the goodness of the Lord. Our grief and sadness is both fleeting and temporary! I have many misgivings and there are many things that I cling to, they are but the sheep droppings of this life! I renew my spirit knowing all that awaits me will be purified as all the dross of this life shall be burned away. Never more to be remembered either by God or me! TR So the evil doesn't cease. As some of y'all know, Netflix has a show called Lucifer and now they are adding a show called Messiah. The trailer just churns my stomach. that phrase, "my soul is vexed," is so true. 🙁 Whatever miss information, deception or confusion there might be, I like to look at the bright side. At least the name of Jesus is being spoken! Perhaps causing some to ask, is this the Jesus of the Bible?! Just another avenue by which the Holy Spirit can work through. Or so it seems to me. Whether through or by perfect theology and religion, or the through the darkness of Satan, God is greater than all of these things! For this, I can only give Him the glory! TR TR this is true - Philippians 1:18 “What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice." ... Whether their motives are false or genuine, the message about Christ is being preached either way, so I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice." fair use it gets better...Philippians 2:8-12 New Living Translation (NLT) Revelation 5:11-13 New Living Translation (NLT) “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— “Blessing and honor and glory and power its been almost 2000 years since John the baptist began preaching baptism of repentance and Jesus was baptized in the Jordan. in a study bible it gives the date of 27AD for Luke 3:1. John's father was a priest, a Levite. This reminds me of when Joshua was going to lead Israel across the Jordan. It was Levites that carried the ark to the other side, and it was a Levite who baptised Jesus - Joshua 3:1-4 There was a distance of about 2000 cubits between the people and the Levite priests who carried the ark. Our God has perfect understanding and perfect timing. Luke 3:1-6, 21-22 God is still keeping track of timing. God knows the distance of time, how l---o---n---g it has been since that Jordan crossing, since John the baptist passed Jesus through the Jordan, since the ascension into heaven, since the first Pentecost, since each of us began to watch for the Lord's return. Jesus won't be late for a very important date. maybe that time when Israel understands the way they must go, calling on Jesus to save them and ushering in His return, will be 2027? Indeed. If He be for us, who can be against us! Again, God might not be early or according to our time frame, but He is never late to fulfill His grand purposes! Even after eternity has been fulfilled, we shall never tire of praising His glorious name! Our fervor for Him shall only continue to grow, mature and become ever sweeter!!! The richness of His love and glory shall never run dry nor be any less desired by us. Time must be done away with as it cannot contain the fullness of His measure. My love, my glorious love Jesus! TR Interesting article from a secular standpoint on the chaos going on around the world. So the media is seeing this and beginning to talk about it. Dread for 2020 is ratcheting up as well. Sadly, they have reason to fear if they do not have a relationship with Jesus. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/2019-was-year-global-unrest-and-2020-likely-be-worse 
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
11 Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders. 12 And they sang in a mighty chorus:
to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.”
