***“Attitude determines altitude.”

*** Isaiah 26:3-- “You will keep him [or her] in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You,
because he [or she] trusts in You."

***John 13:34-35
After cleaning the 11 Disciples feet after the Last Supper, Jesus Christ said,
“34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.
As I have loved you, you should also love one another.
35 By this all shall know that you are My disciples,
if you have love toward one another.”

*** We are saved by grace to be good adopted children and ambassadors of God. No way
can we remember all or even 10% of the commandments in the New Testament so we need
to live according to Holy Spirit guidance. That is what Romans 8 and Galatians 5 says is the
best lifestyle. He and Jesus Christ (John 16:13) will tell us what we need to know in order to
think, say, and do right. Jesus Christ did say that His burden is light and His yoke is easy, I
speak from experience that such is true when I live Proverbs 3:5-6. The spiritual enemy
tries to get me not to live those verses via many different ways, but I sure enjoy when I am
able to focus on just living for God and doing whatever the Holy Spirit urges. There is a
Christian interview program titled "Really Living" and what I just indicated is such. Don't
you agree?

***Doctors have said that most health problems (about 70%) are due to stress and
worrying. And frequently looking for things to criticize is not for good health and good
relationships either. That is why I encourage others to look for things to be thankful for and
live Philippians 4:4-8 and Proverbs 3:5-6. And Romans 14:17's Kingdom of God is for
today.

***There are 7 kinds of anger, but true Christians will only have anger against what God
hates, but most of their time should be spent in what God could get more glory in. We
should be reflecting Jesus Christ and Bible truths. The Moon reflects the Sun's light; it
doesn't generate its own light.

*** For responding to accusations that we should not mention wrongdoers:

Romans 16:17--
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to
the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.”

Philippians 3:17-19

1
“Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an
example. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping,
that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose God is their
belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind Earthly things.)”

***Most used spiritual anagrams I have shared with others via the Internet:
F -- fear not
A -- assurance from God's Word
I -- in God's love
T -- trust in God and the Bible
H -- holiness with Holy Spirit and Bible help

P -- power from Heaven

R -- ruled/guided by the agapè love of God and His Word
A -- attentive to the Holy Spirit
Y -- yearning for Christian, world revival
E -- earnest to be righteous and compassionate
R -- ready for the return of Jesus Christ

C -- Christ, confession
H -- Holy Spirit help
A -- attitudes and actions
N -- needs
G -- good works (Ephesians 2:10)
E -- everywhere for eternity

***Arguments do not bear fruit; good discussions do bear fruit when participants want to
learn. The word "opinion" is found only 3 times in the KJV Bible, all in Job 32 in one of
Job's friend's exhortation speeches. And modern media (especially the talk shows) and
gossip times (especially in Christian churches) are mostly negative opinions. Philippians 2:1-
5 and Ephesians 4:11-16 indicates a top priority of Christians should be learning Jesus
Christ, how He thinks and how He ministered when He was in human form. And God said,
“So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but
it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
[Isaiah 55:11]

*** “Sorrow looks back, worry looks around. But faith looks up! Live simply, love
generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and trust in our Creator Who loves us.”

"Anti-Christ" is only directly mentioned in 1 John and indicates an "instead of Jesus" spirit
possessed by many. And 2 Timothy 3:1-5 indicates that many professing "Christians" are
living wrongly. But it is harder to forgive now, especially the secular politicians like Obama

2
and the bad Christian leaders because the "they know not what they do" doesn't seem to
apply.

***After looking at Yahoo or ESPN sports news while eating breakfast (except on Saturday),
The Global Warming threats were made to try to get more tax laws passed and expensive
products being required to be purchased. I used to do most of my daily (except during the
Sabbath) reading at and downloading from http://www.wnd.com/ ,
http://www.americasright.com/ , http://www.americanthinker.com/ ,
http://www.newsmax.com/index.html , and http://www.drudgereport.com/ . For more of the

***Living Proverbs 3:5-6 helps me to have the most meaningful use of the time that God
allows me to have. I would like others to experience such too. “The cares of the world” and
past thought entanglements enslave so many professing Christians from living for God and
the Great Commission. We should live each day as if it might be our last on Earth. True
Christians will desire to live more and more Christ-like, especially unselfishly. Romans 8
and Galatians 5 say there are only two lifestyles. And the world's best caused feelings do not
come close to divine peace and divine joy. See Romans 14:17 for what the Kingdom of God
is. I have never heard a sermon about this kind of lifestyle-- Holy Spirit and Bible urged.

***John Paul Jackson said in Facebook: “Depth of spirituality is defined by the shortness of
the gap between the sin and repentance.”

*** All of my Bible study tools are for encouraging repentance and Christian sanctification.
We cannot do better if we don't have the knowledge of what is righteousness. Contrary to
what many preachers proclaim, sanctification is not automatic or done totally be the Holy
Spirit. I commit myself to Proverbs 3:5-6 frequently so that I will be sensitive to the Holy
Spirit to guide me to become more Christ-like. A related Bible study tool I recently created
("1-- Christian Character Traits for today-- ETRSF") can be downloaded for free from

***I think you would enjoy Bob Chapman's book “Extreme Lives for Extreme Times--
Living for Jesus in the 21st Century”. One of the top five books I have read. It is worth the
time and money. Bob has taught Bible for over 30 years and has a good daily Bible teaching
ministry.

***I hope that you will try the logical indenting method of Bible study. There are directions
and samples in the “~ RFBSS #1-- About God the Father and Jesus Christ” file at
http://www.box.net/shared/s6slov9fyx . I learn every time I do such and I have been doing it
since September 1977. God said, “So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it
shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” [Isaiah 55:11] This format is easy to lead a Bible

3
study discussions with. I have enjoyed doing such in the past. One legally blind man saw
from my formatting of Ephesians 3-5 that there are three groups of 7 commandments.
Logical bolding and underlining add more possible easy to create questions.

2 Timothy 2:15
"Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God,
a workman [or workwoman] who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the Word of Truth."

Isaiah 28:9-10
“Whom shall He teach knowledge?
And whom shall He make to understand doctrine?
They who are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.”

***I also developed several MS Word documents to put in frequent or/and good information
quotes to use in my e-mail and blogging ministries. The “0-- Personal Information”
document has even my address and phone number, even though I share such to close
friends. Then I have other MS Word documents titled as follows: “0-- miscellaneous
frequent quotes”, “0-- miscellaneous spiritual quotes”, “0-- miscellaneous secular sayings”.

***”If you are willing to tolerate sin in the home, you will tolerate sin outside the home.”--
Preacher David Glover

***I am skeptical of anyone who proclaims or is proclaimed to be a prophet or prophetess.

And the Kansas School of Prophets claims that 60% accuracy is now ok, Also bad
character traits and rudeness are acceptable now of those professing to be prophets. I am
also skeptical of anyone who calls themselves "Rev." because "reverend" is only used in the
Bible once and it refers to Jesus Christ. And many who call themselves "Pastor" in India
and Pakistan are not Biblical pastors but are just hoping to get money from Western
Christians.

***I believe that the Earth is the special planet of God-- the only one with humankind. And
I capitalize the first letter of the name our planet because all proper nouns should begin with
a capital letter. Many years ago when I took my first airplane trip at night, I noticed the
lights indicating human civilization. But I could not see who were in the cars or in the
buildings. And yet God could not only see them, but also hear whatever they were talking
about and also know their thoughts. And His throne in Heaven is much higher than I was in
the airplane. If we lived as if we believed that truly God is everywhere and all knowing, we
would probably would be thinking and talking more for the glory of God than we are
currently.

***Satan and God get blamed for too much. Many blame either because of their own
mistakes and sins. Comic Flip Wilson was very wrong when he said "the Devil made me do
it." Also, Satan is not everywhere and all knowing. He relies on his army which include the
fallen angels (demons) and human beings. Ephesians 2:2 indicates that Satan is the " the
prince of the power of the air", but that does not mean that he causes all weather related
tragedies. God can use weather for His judgments. Also, not all sicknesses and other health

4
challenges are caused by Satan or members of his army. Like accidents resulting in broken
bones. Most kidney stones are because of too much calcium in one's diet.

Did you know that Satan apparently did not focus on the Apostle Paul? 2 Corinthians 12:7
"Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from
exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment
me-- to keep me from exalting myself!" Most preachers do not teach the proper truths
about Satan and spiritual warfare.

***Emily said: “I do believe that there are evil spirits (demons) at every turn, just waiting to
make people stumble or fall away, to discourage them, to make them doubt their beliefs,
or/and to cause them to listen to all the man-made doctrines and rules instead of reading
their Bible and finding out what God has to say about things. Also, often times they cause
people to get too wrapped up in worldly things and personal happenings, and so they don't
take time to find out what God tells them to do about these things.”

***We should continue praying for the survivors and the helpers in Haiti. We should also be
ready for the coming tragedies in the USA. It is the only country to be begun by Christians
and is the only country to have the National Motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" (which is still on
the money). But USA has gotten very far from true Christianity. Most of the current
Christian churches in the USA are not doing Philippians 2:1-5, Ephesians 4:11-16, and Titus
2. Most Christians are not doing Proverbs 3:5-6 and Jude 20-23. And how many are not
going against the frequent murdering of innocent babies in the USA and not going against
other things that God hates (like homosexuality, causing divisions amongst Christians, lying,
deceit, gossip, slander, religion)? So how much better are we than Haiti? Why has God given
us so much grace and patience?

***I don't know of any popular Christian preachers plainly teaching the New Testament as
Ephesians 4:11-16 indicates. Pastor Charles Stanley is probably the closest to such. The
other famous preachers I have seen on TV are those who are either misusing Bible verses for
their spiritual theories or psychology advice. My free Bible study tools are for what Jude
says:
“20 But you, beloved,
build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith
[make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher],
praying in the Holy Spirit;
21 guard {and} keep yourselves in the love of God;
expect {and} patiently wait for the mercy
of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)--
[Who will bring you] unto life eternal.
Also my collection at 4b Sanctification and Consecration-- http://www.humyo.com/9538789-
703177839 can help any true Christian grow spiritually.

***But I have other spiritual concerns: Most preachers create spiritual theories hoping to
become famous and rich sometime. And why do so many feel they need to yell and be
dramatic? The wrong preaching has caused a lot of disappointment, false accusations about
individuals not having enough faith depression, grief, anger, etc. But God did not intend
that Christianity would be pastor/preacher centered. He did not really want humankind to

5
have kings and presidents. He wanted us just to trust Him, but most professing Christians
only trust their pastors or/and favorite TV celebrities.

***The spiritual enemy's main weapon against us is untruthfulness via lying and deceit.
That is why the Philippians 4:8 has truth as first thing to think on and the first piece of
spiritual armor listed in Ephesians 6 represents truth. Some of the following words in those
two lists could have been the first one instead of truth with good reasons. I have never heard
a preacher proclaim two major emphases in the Bible are truthfulness vs. untruthfulness
and repentance towards Christ-like righteousness and compassion. Most just emphasize
God's grace and love.

***There are two ways to read the Bible: for selfish reasons and for unselfish reasons. Most
professing Christians do only the former way. I do all I can to encourage others to do the
latter way for making good changes in their ways of thinking and doing. God's truths and
ways are wonderful and result in wonderful feelings of divine peace and divine joy. During
a sermon on Romans 5:1-5, eight ways of relating to the Bible came to my mind. So the ways
one should relate to the Bible are 1.) Read, 2.) Study, 3.) Meditate, 4.) Memorize, 5.) Discuss
it, 6.) Counsel with it, 7.) Prepare a Bible study tool or teach it. Frequently living it should
be done everyday by Christians, but at least one of the others should be done too, preferable
several.

Reading and study of the Bible should never be done when an individual is not thinking as
Proverbs 3:5-6 says. In other words, reading just to read or just because someone else says
so will usually not have lasting results. Thinking as Proverbs 3:5-8 commands helps an
individual to become sensitive to the Holy Spirit, Who Jesus said in John 14-16 would be a
believer’s convictor, comforter, teacher, and guide. The following is my translation of those
important verses:
Trust in the Lord
with all my heart,
and lean not on my own understanding
or past experiences.
In all my ways acknowledge
(be thankful for) Him,
and He (via the Holy Spirit) shall direct
my thinking and doing.

***The rewards doctrine has sort of puzzled me. What can be special rewards in Heaven or
on the New or purged/recreated Earth? If all believers are equal? Could it be location of
where each one lives? The most faithful will be the closest to the Throne of God? The
shameful ones, like preachers who misled many, would be the farthest away and might get to
visit the New Jerusalem one day a year?

***God causes revival when humans do intercessory prayer and righteousness (especially
unselfishness). Many think that revival is having an evangelist or a well-known preacher or
prophecy expert or “faith healer” for a series of church, tent, or other building meetings. Bu
such is not revival according to God. You can have personal revival every day if you “talk
to God” about good changes you want to make in your life and desire Bible and Holy Spirit
help to do such. I even get revival almost every time I do a private Bible study.

6
***The Apostle Paul wrote a lot of verses that indicated Holy Spirit urged discerning/warning
judging. And check what 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 says. I look for the good in others and in
churches, but the Holy Spirit helps me to realize wrongs and sins for me to at least do
intercessory prayer about. But sometimes I have to exhort or even rebuke. Some have
responded with a rebuke against me accusing me of condemn judging. I have never done the
just mentioned. Matthew 7:1 “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” has been misused so much by
individuals who don't want to repent towards Christ-likeness righteousness and some of the
famous Christian leaders have threatened those who oppose their teaching and life styles.
Constructive criticism is not a judging sin. If one looks at the context of Matthew 7:1, he or she
will discover that it does not apply to what is said above about judging and to the following
statements. True Christians will not condemn judge, but they will discern right and wrong
judge so they can do proper intercessory prayer as you indicated in your blog or/and to do Holy
Spirit urged exhortation or rebuke as Jesus Christ, the Apostle Paul, and many Christian
leaders have done in the past. For the much needed church discipline to take place the
discerning judging needs to be done. Also the Bible is full of warnings about unrighteous
actions and teaching being done and such require discerning judging. There is too much
tolerance of wrongs in the Christian churches and in society. But extreme carefulness must be
done in the indicated exhorting and warning ministries. A pastor cannot even do such without
making judgments about what Scripture to teach and how to teach it.

I just heard that the executive committee thinks I'm losing it because I tremble throughout
those confrontations. Sheesh.

Bible lover Bill wrote:

I have been the same way when I have had to exhort or rebuke or even when I have had to
share will personal experiences or concerns. My body thermostat would even shut down, so
that I got chills even though the meeting place was warm. Sometimes my right cheek would
quiver and I even stuttered briefly sometimes. I am not a "polished" preacher or "smooth
talking" politician or cool-headed liberal psychologist. I ended up with three women who
can easily do such exhorting or rebuking anywhere and to anyone. :-) I guess that is why
true Christians might be put in jail or mental hospitals when there is the move to get rid of
Christians world-wide. Have you ever been told by a smooth talker directly that something
must be wrong with you because you tremble when confronted about your beliefs? I have
even got accused of yelling for just raising my voice a little above normal to show my
conviction and seriousness.

Well, then we can pray empathetically and not just sympathetically when either of us is
having such meetings with those mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:5!! You are the first person who

***I think that the Age of Grace began after Jesus Christ was resurrected. It is supposed to
end when there is worldwide tribulation as Revelation indicates. Great tribulation is
happening now for Christians in many Asian and African counties. The End Times
prophecies in Revelation, Matthew, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, and Ezekiel could happen very
quickly. And the pre-Trib Rapture theory promoters will be proven wrong. And much
anger and chaos will occur in most Christian churches. It grieves me daily that so many
Christians apparently don't know enough about true Christianity and of God's wonderful
promises, so they might forsake their pastors and even Jesus Christ when the rapture
doesn't occur before surviving gets real tough. USA will be judged more harshly because of
the unique way it was begun. I think that God is letting the prince of the air (see Ephesians
2:2) Satan do the tragedies caused by extreme weather.

***But 99% of my ministry time is spent for compassion and the second part of the Great
Commission, but even that requires discern judging. I have been a victim of condemnation
judging for ridiculous reasons, for example for my using a New King James Bible and
wearing my wedding ring. I have seen many sad results of condemnation judging too and so
I will never do that and I rebuke others who do when I hear such. I tell them that they
should do intercessory prayer for the despised individual, and not do any negative praying
against him or her. Some verses from Jude are appropriate: “20 But you, beloved, build
yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher
and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit; 21 guard {and} keep yourselves in the love of God;
expect {and} patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)-- [which
will bring you] unto life eternal. 22 And {refute [so as to] convict some who dispute with
you, and} on some have mercy who waver {and} doubt. 23 [Strive to] save others, snatching
[them] out of [the] fire; on others take pity [but] with fear, loathing even the garment
spotted by the flesh {and} polluted by their sensuality.

***Claiming something is a disease or we are born with it are excuses to not change. I still
am a chocolate addict, but I would never have claimed those excuses. We each can say “no”
to anything and not partake. My Dad smoked for 55 years; I never did. He liked drinking
alcohol; I did not and only had one sip of beer from his glass in a restaurant and a few
glasses wine and champaign when I practically forced to by in-laws. The Holy Spirit is
trying to help Christians stop many worldly habits.

***Repentance is a major theme of the Bible. There are many exhortations and
commandments for true Christian believers to do because they love Abba Father and Jesus
Christ more and more. The Holy Spirit will do the guiding for anyone who lives Proverbs
3:5-6. Sanctification is not automatic. If it was, why would there be the commandments and
exhortations in the New Testament written for Christianity believers? The Apostle Paul
wrote a lot of “put offs” and “put ons” and Jesus Christ said that if we love Him, we will
obey His commandments and teachings. In Romans 8 and John 14-16 it does not say that
the Holy Spirit does the sanctification. Neither does He force us to change. When we make

8
the changes, we get divine peace and joy which are parts of the Kingdom of God (Romans
14:17). I hate the legalism going in almost all of the Christian churches, but I love living
Proverbs 3:5-6 and doing whatever the Holy Spirit and Scripture urges. The latter is never
a struggle. Remember what Jesus Christ promised about His yoke and His burden for His
disciples? True Christians will want to become more like Jesus Christ every day, not just to
be busy in a humanistic survival mode.

***Many need to get out of the quicksands of their pasts by letting go and forgiveness. And
blaming is sin. Satan and parents get blamed too much. Also we should think before we say
and do things, would we want them said and done to us. Many of our mistakes are made
when we are hasty or we assume things.

***When my mother was 8 years old, after her 42-year-old healthy wonderful Dad beat her
in checkers, she did not say “good night” to him for the first time in her life and she did not
apologize to him before he died the next day. For many years she felt ashamed for that and
named me after him. So I have done my best to never have anger before I go to sleep at
night.

***[Luke 17:3] Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him;
and if he repent, forgive him.

***God said, “So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return
unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it.” [Isaiah 55:11] And good Bible education is rare in most Christian
churches.

***There are only two lifestyles according to the Apostle Paul. See Romans 8 and Galatians
5. And so true Christians will be urged by the Holy Spirit when to properly read the Bible
and when to just think about certain verses and passages. John 16:13 says that the Holy
Spirit says what He hears from Jesus Christ. Because of the latter's human experiences, He
knows when each of His followers need certain reminders and urgings in relation to the
Bible.

***I mainly want to avoid sinning so that I can keep in communication with God. Any time
we think selfishly or do sin, the connection with God is broken. Then we must confess and
repent and live Proverbs 3:5-6 again. Romans 8 indicates two ways of living. And our top
priority is indicated in Philippians 2-3-- knowing Jesus Christ more and more. John 10:28-
30 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give unto them
eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.
My Father, Who gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of
My Father's hand. I and my Father are one.”

***”Do our best and God will do the rest” is not a proper way to think and live because it
indicates humanism in the first part and not living according to Holy Spirit urges when
living Proverbs 3:5-6.

***True Christians should be peculiar people of righteousness, peacefulness, and joyfulness.

***Ralph Marston wrote:

“If you feel uncomfortable confronting where you are in life because of your condition,
circumstances or choices... then I urge you to turn that feeling of frustration into
MOTIVATION. What's done is done. The time and energy you spend complaining about it
will get you nothing but a lot of frustration and negativity. What's happened has happened.
Instead of looking back, fretting and arguing about why or how or who is at fault, look
forward and consider all the positive possibilities that are available to you. If you've been
wronged, don't seek revenge. Seek success, seek achievement, seek fulfillment, seek to take
what has happened and turn it into a positive force in your life. Spend your time and energy
not in looking back, but in looking ahead. For that is where you can make a difference.”

***Jesus Christ is still the reason for Christmas time existing. It is still the best time to share
the Gospel with others and the best time for special Christian church programs for
evangelism. It is usually the best time of nice movies on TV and news about good deeds. It
doesn't matter that it is a fact that Jesus was not born on December 25th. Here in Germany,
most Germans celebrate on December 24th. So what? And Christians should not be
condemning other Christians in any ways. But I am sorry that the Christmas traditions in
my childhood did not include it being like a birthday party instead of an exchange of gifts
with even selfishness and coveting. Jesus Christ should get the gifts if it is His birthday
party, so I think that giving time, money, and gifts for good Christian ministries should be
done, especially during these increasing more financially difficult times.

***Louise wrote:
“‘The reason you don't have what you want is...you don't ask God.’ (James 4:2, TLB)
Imagine walking into a restaurant on a whim and asking if your order is ready. ‘When did
you call it in?’ the server asks. ‘Oh I didn't’, you reply, ‘I just thought perhaps you'd have
something with my name on it.’ Sound ridiculous? No more so than expecting God to
answer requests you haven't made - or made in faith believing. James says, ‘The reason you
don't have what you want is... you don't ask God.’ Does that mean He'll automatically give
you everything you ask for? No. James adds, ‘Even when you do ask you don't get it
because... you want only what will give you pleasure.’ (James 4:3, TLB) Your motives need
to be in tune with what God knows is best for you. John says, ‘This is the confidence... we
have in Him... if we ask anything... according to His will... He... hears.’ (1 John 5:14, AMP)”

***True Christians should use the Internet to inform others about the dangerous trends that
are happening in the USA and appropriate God's truths about what God loves and what He
hates. There is so much to do for the Great Commission and such a small number of true
Christians who want to use most of their time to share God's wonderful truths and to
Biblical counseling, exhortation, and rebuking when needed and Holy Spirit urged. A major
problem in the world currently is the increase of toleration of sinning, even in Christian
churches and healing or revival meetings. And I have not seen a church with a good
discipleship program or is doing what Ephesians 4:11-16 says. Have you?

***Ed, you might do further study about the key words about this subject like “forever”,
“everlasting”, “destruction” and “perish”. Also, is Sodom and Gomorrah still burning with
everlasting fire? And in what you think Hell is, describe the area for Hitler and the area for

10
popular Pastor John Smith? Until July 1999, I used to believe the popular doctrine about
Hell and the First Death.

***Until August 1999, I used to believe that after dying true Christians went immediately to
Heaven. I now believe that the Second Death means total destruction of those who did not
become adopted children of God. If Hell is a place of eternally being burned up, what would
the difference between the area that Hitler is in and the area where moral and ethical
humanistic (non-born-again) Christian church attendees are in? And why would Satan and
his army of demons be rewarded for their many years (probably about 6000) of wickedness?
And how could God focus on enjoying His family while He has to keep supervision what is
happening to an eternal Hell? And if our relatives were in Heaven and could see what is
happening on Earth, how could they be full of joy and enjoy the New Jerusalem?

What happens normally when things and people are on fire? What happens when you burn
something like a pile of papers and books? What are the results? What happens in
crematoriums? Vehicle tires can burn for about two years until consumed. Are Sodom and
Gomorrah still burning? Jude 1:7 “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about
them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are
set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” John 3:16 “For God so
loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.” What does perish mean? 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 “In
flaming fire taking vengeance on them who know not God and who obey not the Gospel of
our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence
of the Lord and from the glory of His power.” What does destruction mean? And the
parables of Jesus Christ were not about true situations.

If you do verse downloads for “everlasting”, “eternal”, “perish”, “destruction”, “destroy”,

and the words used for Hell, you will discover why I changed my belief of eternal life of the
non-believers. I relation to “eternal life”, see who is such for and who is the giver. Also God
does not want people to be scared into agreeing with the Gospel and into loving Him. Such
is not what any of the Bible says. God wants us to voluntarily believe and love Him and His
Word. Friendship evangelism is Biblical.

~Facts

***Philippians 2:1-5 and Ephesians 4:11-16 indicate the proper true Christian unity that
true Christians should be pursuing. But most professing Christians will not even live the
Golden Rule or Matthew 18:15-17. It is too bad that Islam, cults, and even atheists show
more unity than Christians.

***Ephesians 1:22-23 says “And He [God the Father] has put all things under His [Jesus
Christ] feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His body, the
fullness of Him who fills all in all.” The first word of Genesis is “In” and the last word of the
last sentence in the Bible is “all”. The last word is “Amen”, which means “so be it”. And
Jesus Christ is “the Alpha and Omega” (Revelation 1:8 & 11; 21:6), “the beginning and the
ending” (Revelation 1:8 & 21:6). And this also indicates that the all in all of the whole Bible
is actually Jesus Christ, especially because it is obvious in John 1:1-4 and 1 John 1:1 that He
is “the Word”. Also, Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15 that the most important
difference between Christianity and other religions is the resurrection of Jesus Christ after
being killed. So that is why the Christian’s t op priority of learning should be about Jesus
Christ. See Philippians 2:1-5 and Ephesians 4:11-16.

***The Greeks did not have a word for “repent” or “repentance”. So they did not
understand the Apostle Paul’s emphasis. The Greeks were humanists, and many modern
day humanists don’t have “repent” or “repentance” in their vocabulary even though they
may be Christian church attendees.

***There are two important "should"s in Romans 6:6 and Ephesians 2:10. Romans 8 and
Galatians indicate the two lifestyles we can choose to live each day. And the best way to be
sensitive to divine help is Proverbs 3:5-6. And the Kingdom of God is "righteousness, peace
and joy in the Holy Spirit" for now. (Romans 14:17) We just have to do 1 John 1:9 when
the Holy Spirit urges.

12
***The origin of the number “13” symbolizing bad luck: The number “7” is the number of
God’s perfection and the number “6” is the number for man. Put the two numbers together
and the result is “13”. God’s perfection or will should not be added to by human kind’s
opinions and theories (worldly wisdom). Example, New Age doctrines, psychology, and
prosperity preaching.

***Why won’t Cain be in Heaven or on the New Earth? Not because he murdered. Moses
and other true believers had murdered. But Cain said to God, “My punishment is greater
than I can bear.” (Genesis 4:13b) In other words, He could not accept the Gospel: God’s
grace of forgiveness. And the difference between Judas and Peter was repentance back to
full faith and trust in Jesus Christ which Peter did but Judas did not.

***John 16:13 says that the Holy Spirit says what He hears (even though He knows all of
God the Father's truths) and Who He hears is Jesus Christ Who had human experience and
so knows the right timing for each of us to get truths and guidance from the Holy Spirit
when we are living Proverbs 3:5-6.

***There is great persecution happening in Third World countries which is being ignored
by most “Christians” and apparently all politicians. Until 1999, I believed in the pre-trib
rapture theory. Now I think that when things really get rough for USA and European
“Christians”, most of them will get angry at their preachers for not telling them the truth.
Only Christians who know God's promises and commandments well enough will keep
faithful to true Christianity and be ready for the return of Jesus Christ. Spiritual apathy is
increasing in the Western world countries and most professing Christians are not relating to
God as their best friend and are not doing the urgings of the Holy Spirit. If they were, as
most Christians in the Third World countries where there is severe persecution against
Christians, there would be wonderful revival in the USA and Europe. But only a small
number are standing up against what God hates. And a small percentage of Christians are
doing Christ-like compassion.

***Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 2:1-5, and Jude 20-23 living should be lived a lot more, but
instead there is so much religion and spiritual warfare (especially gossip and slander)
happening in USA Christian churches.

***Pastor, I will be praying that donators who can will help you. I have no financial income
or financial savings. So I cannot accept your invitation. You can use any of my free Bible
study tools: http://www.humyo.com/9538789-1171401787 .

***Only with Holy Spirit help will both spouses in a marriage do proper submission first to
God (because if we love Him, we will want to do His commandments) and proper submission
to each other usually because of the abilities of each spouse. The triangle with God on the
top and each spouse on one of the lines going up should be frequently remembered. There
should be no bossing or dictating by either spouse; suggestions only, so “please” should be
used frequently. And agape love, given by God, is completely unselfish and can manifest in
all forms so that phileo and eros, which are human created for selfish reasons, are not
necessary in an Ephesians 5 marriage. Only agapè love is always unselfish and lasts forever;
phileo and eros are not and are made by us. Jesus Christ commanded us to love our
enemies. Also, true Christians should be going for God's best in relating with others. Agapè

13
is for spouses on down to even our enemies. Think of a 1-10 scale with 10 our love for God,
8-9 love for spouse, 6-7 love for best friends and relatives, 3-5 for acquaintances at work and
at church, 1-2 for enemies (with no praying for bad for them).

***1 Timothy 3:16 starts with the word “all” and most readers believe that the meaning is
not “all” but is “most”. I think that I know a possible reason: I remember hearing teachers
give suggestions in taking a multiple choice and true/false test by saying never choose an
answer with the words “all” or “every”. But the truth is that when humans use those words
they are exaggerating and mean “most”. Meanwhile, when those two words appear in the
Bible they mean what they say. I usually circle those words in my Bible as I listen to
sermons. But I think women make exaggerated statements more than men. I avoid using
the words “all” and “always” and “every time” or the phrase “all the time” because usually
such will not be true unless I am quoting a Bible verse. I remember teachers giving us
advice before a true/false and multiple-choice test. They said if we saw such words, to mark
false in the former and other choices in the latter.

***Did your parents tell you to avoid talking about religion, sex, and politics? But God’s
truths needed to be taught in those three areas and I and some others had to learn the hard
way. Most never learned such. True Christians should be trying to teach what pleases and
displeases God in those areas.

***The worsening of Christianity in the USA is one of the main reasons for the worsening of
the USA politics and economy etc. Most Christian church goers don't know enough of God's
Word to discern the just mentioned crisis areas or even what wrongs are being preached by
famous speakers (spiritual and secular). Why is Oprah still popular in her promoting of
New Age doctrines? Why are the false prophets and prosperity preachers still followed?
Judgment could happen against the USA very quickly and so many Christians don't even
know God's wonderful promises and so they might forsake their pastors and even Jesus
Christ when the rapture doesn't occur before surviving gets real tough.

***Our world is getting worse and worse because more and more are forsaking God and the
Ten Commandments and the Gospel. So true Christians need to unite in sharing God's
wonderful truths more and more instead of misunderstanding and fighting against each
other. Right now the Christian army is not doing very well because of wrong divisions due
to selfishness and arrogance about denominational distinctives and spiritual theories.
Someone said that it is the only army that wounds and kills its own. This happens so much
in churches and in marriages. Such are tragedies. They may not cause physical death, but
they cause a lot of spiritual deaths. I am 62 years old and I have grieved many times because
of such (witnessing others being hurt and being a victim). But why is such happening. A
major reason is because the Jesus Christ and New Testament commandments are not being
taught and discussed in 99% of the Christian churches and home groups. How can we
become more Christ-like without such information? Most preachers don't want to share
such because especially the commandments would drive away their followers. But a major
theme in the Bible is confession and repentance towards righteousness which is God-
pleasing. Ephesians and Philippians indicate what should be the purposes for true
Christians. What do you think those are?

***It is too bad that most Christian leadership just wants to control others and keep doing
the old forms of ministry which are not like what the original Christian churches did. Our

14
Internet ministries and the home Bible study groups are much closer to the latter--
emphasizing the only thing guaranteed not to come back void. And what do Philippians 2:1-
16, Ephesians 4:1-16, Romans 8 & 12, and Hebrews 10:19-25 mean in regards to churches
and ministries.

***And also I hate when preachers speak about spiritual theories or new translations of
certain verses. I go for the logos or rhema with help from the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ
(John 16:13) when I study the Bible. I too focus on the New Testament. I am sick of so
many preachers emphasizing and misusing the Old Testament stories and Proverbs. They
are afraid of discouraging their followers with the exhortations and commandments of Jesus
Christ and in the Epistles. Then there are those who focus on denominational distinctives
and prophecy theories. And I believe that there is only one interpretation for each of the
unobvious verses, what God says it means. Many misuse that verse that says “there is no
private interpretation”. A few years ago I found out my first and middle name are supposed
to mean “diligent protector (or guardian) for the truth (or light).” I began such about 30
years ago. I was named after my mother's saintly Dad who died when she was 8 years old.
The Bible has been my guide since the Fall of 1975. I am very very careful about what I post
in blogs and e-mails. There has to be Biblical support. There are different ways of teaching
God's wonderful truths and so I use such for a variety. I am very careful about what
translation I use for Scripture, even though I don't check the Greek or Hebrew. ***My
Bible studies are different in that they usually don't include commentary. They encourage
the reader to reason why I group or/and indent format the Bible verses the way I mostly do.
Some of them have thought provoking questions. And all of my studies encourage
repentance towards Christ-likeness (righteousness and compassion).

***Subject studies are ok if contexts of verses used are referred to show that they are
appropriate for today. Many of my Bible studies are subject ones.

***My main suggestion to possible home group Bible study leaders is to choose a New
Testament epistle for going verse by verse in. For each verse, the primary goal for each one
in the group should be to determine “does it say something I believe in already” or “does it
indicate something I need to change in my life?”

***Did you know the only verse in the Bible that says “Reverend” is referring to Jesus
Christ. Psalm 111:9-10 “He sent redemption unto His people: He has commanded His
covenant for ever: holy and reverend is His name. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise
endureth for ever.”

***Did you know the famous John Alexander Dowie, Evan Roberts, Charles Parham,
Williams J. Seymour, and John G. Lake did not speak in tongues until many years after they
had become true Christians? I was surprised when I read about it in Roberts Liardon's
book “God's Generals”.

***What is Jesus doing right now? John 16:13 states that the Holy Spirit is told by Jesus
what to say to us (because He had human experience and the Holy Spirit did not) and He is
interceding for true Christians when they are accused by Satan.

15
***I believe that true Christians are not under the Law (mainly the Ten Commandments
and not including the ordinances and commandments just for the Israelites), but Jesus
Christ said that He did not come to abolish the Law and that if we love Him, we will keep
His commandments. Romans 6:14-15 "For your sin shall not lord it over you, for you are
not under Law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Law,
but under grace? Let it not be!" 1 Corinthians 9:20-21 "And I became as a Jew to the Jews,
that I might gain Jews; to those under Law as under Law, that I might gain those under
Law; to those without Law as without Law (not being without Law of God, but under the
law of Christ), that I might gain those without Law." Galatians 5:18 "But if you are led by
the Spirit, you are not under Law." And look at Ephesians 2:1-10. And why are there so
many commandments in the Gospels and the Epistles? Most of them are for attitude
changes and help obeyers to have better lives and get blessed with divine peace and divine
joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). And why is there an emphasis of repentance and
sanctification throughout the whole Bible? And the second part of Romans and Epistle of
James indicate that God gives Justification and Salvation to the Gospel believers so that they
can be free from sinning. But the latter is not automatic are done totally by the Holy Spirit
as many preachers teach. True Christians will desire to choose to be righteous because they
love God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible increasingly, not for
Salvation so such is not legalism. Legalistic churches are very wrong too. There is too much
modern day Phariseeism and just church attendees in Christian churches, and such a low
number of true disciples of Jesus Christ and the Bible. So professing Christians are in 3
groups and only one group is what God wants for His adopted children. Why are Christians
considered "peculiar people"? And why do so many call Christians a bunch of hypocrites?
God's grace and love is wonderful, but we have responsibilities in being His ambassadors.
(There are many good Bible verses and passages that support all that I have said above.)

***Jesus Christ is coming back of a purified Bride. The spiritual enemy is doing all they can
to delay that by either (1) encouraging preachers to only emphasize the Grace of God or
psychology or (2) by tempting Christians to live as if they are still under the Old Testament
legalism which the Pharisees promoted and required of the Jews. Believing in and relating
to Jesus Christ sets us free from such. The Bible and the Holy Spirit are the best guides and
counselors for whoever trusts God and wants to do the predestined unselfish good works He
has planned for each of His adopted children to live. We can say and do perfectly right if we
do what the Holy Spirit urges because He is perfect and "saying" what He hears from Jesus
Christ (John 16:13). That is why I try to live Proverbs 3:5-6 frequently so that I will be
sensitive to the Holy Spirit. And Christian sanctification is not automatically done like many
USA preachers wrongly teach. I am thankful that I do not have to work for Salvation, but I
love becoming more Christ-like because I love God and His Word so much.

Salvation is the “commitment” of faith

Sanctification is the “walk” of faith
Service is the “work” of faith

Ephesians 2:8-10
“For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from
judgment {and} made partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith. And this
[salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving],
but it is the gift of God; not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law's demands],
lest any man or woman should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so

16
no one can pride himself/herself in it or take glory to himself/herself.] For we are God's
[own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do
those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which
He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He
prearranged and made ready for us to live].”

*** And finally, there are at least 12 spiritual gifts given to God's adopted children and
there are spiritual talents that can be used for doing the Great Commission. The New
Testament does nor say that all true Christians will be evangelists or street preachers, but it
does say in Romans 8 and Galatians 5 that they should be living according to the Holy Spirit
(for sanctification and witnessing) and not according to the flesh (selfish feelings and
desires). And even via the Internet, we can fulfill the prophecy of Jesus Christ that we can
do greater things than He did when in human flesh. We should be wanting to be more and
more like Him every day. The Apostle Paul said he had to die daily to self; how many times
do you have to die to self in order to live for Him. He spared me from death a few times and
has taught me so much, so I love living for Him and sharing His wonderful truths. We seem
to be in the ending of the Age of Grace. Are you ready for the Second Coming of Jesus
Christ?

What God hates in our churches:

R -- ritual
E -- earnestness for superficiality... See More
L -- legalistic
I -- ignorant of a lot of what is God-pleasing
G -- going on with un-Biblical tradition
I -- “I” problem especially in pride and selfishness
O -- obnoxious
N -- nasty, hypocritical, and condemnatory like the Pharisees of old

***The Ten Commandments were not nullified by Jesus dying on the cross as many
Christian preachers claim. Remember they were written twice by God the Father or Jesus
Christ Himself. The over 1100 commandments in the New Testament are related to at least
one of the Ten. What does this passage indicate? Matthew 5:16-20 “Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.
Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but
to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till Heaven and Earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in
no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these
least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of
Heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the
Kingdom of Heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven.” He also said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the
Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; even
the Spirit of truth; Whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows
Him: but you know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you.” (John 14:15-17)
True Christians should want to obey the New Testament commandments and exhortations
as the wonderful Holy Spirit urges because they are loving Jesus Christ, God the Father,
and the Bible more and more. Legalism is when you are doing good because it is expected

17
by human beings in authority like parents, teachers, and pastors. But whenever we do what
the Holy Spirit urges, we receive at least divine peace and can also receive divine joy.

See also Romans 14:17, John 15:9-11, and Philippians 4:4-8.

Easy believism and prosperity living are not Biblical either. Apostle Paul even turned over
some of his brightest disciples to the Satan and he had constant pressure from a demon.
And he and other Christians were persecuted because of their beliefs and their
righteousness. They lived and died for God's wonderful truths. Have you heard of the
challenge, "practice what you preach"? But most professing Christians know and live very
little of the Bible. An anagram for Bible is

***The Pope that changed them for the Catholic Bible was very wrong, but he fulfilled the
prophecy in Daniel 7:23-25-- “Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom
upon Earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole Earth,
and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten
kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the
first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws; and they
shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Sabbath is
“God’s cathedral of time” and I speak from experience since July 16, 1999. I usually get
more blessed during that time than the other 6 days of my fulltime Internet ministering. I
don’t do such to assure myself of Salvation; I focus on God as much as possible during that
time because I love Him so much. He miraculously spared my life at least three times. I
enjoy living for Him instead of living for myself. Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lord and He
is telling the Holy Spirit what I need to be told (John 16:13). And all three bless me
especially during the Sabbath time. Try it, you might like it too.

***I did a Bible study about joy and that is God's best for us. “Happy” is only mentioned 25
times in the KJV Bible. “Happiness” is not mentioned at all. “Joy” is mentioned 155 times,
“joyful” 25 times, and “joyfulness” 2 times. “Rejoice” is mentioned 183 times and
“rejoicing” 28 times. And look at Romans 14:17.

***We become bitter if we think selfishly (with the common “I” emphasis) about the
situation or happening. We become better if we think unselfishly about everyone involved.

***1 Corinthians 10:13 “For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter
how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you {and} laid hold on you that is not common
to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and

18
that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can
bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be
trusted] not to let you be tempted {and} tried {and} assayed beyond your ability {and}
strength of resistance {and} power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also
provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable {and}
strong {and} powerful to bear up under it patiently.” God knows how much we can each
handle and has many ways to keep us having hope even in the tough situations. We just
need to keep loving Him. That is the condition for the great promise of Romans 8:28. But I
do grieve when I see individuals rejecting God's best for them. His advice is so wonderful
even for the stressful and confusing times we are in. True Christians can have wonderful
peace and joy even in the Third World countries where horrible persecution is daily done
against Christians. So the Bible is for today.

***Ephesians 2:2 says “Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the
children of disobedience.” So we should not attribute the bad storms and tornadoes to
“Mother nature” or God. Also we should avoid using the phrase “natural disasters”.

1 John 2:15-17 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man or
woman loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him or her. For all that is in the
world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he or she who does
the will of God abides for ever.” So many are entrapped by the temptations and cares of
this world instead of enjoying the guidance and comforting of God's Word and the Holy
Spirit. It is true that almost all of temptations are by sight. A young Christian
denominational leader told an annual national meeting that he wanted everyone to stop
praying for him to be able to see for the first time because he said that he didn't want to see
anything in this world because of what others have told him about the bad that they have
seen. Yet the sense of sight is required for so much of the jobs. But with Holy Spirit help, we
can resist sexual temptations.

***I grieve about the lack of spiritual hunger and lack of Great Commission activities in
Christian churches. One famous Christian leader thought that only one of twenty of an
International Christian denomination in the 1900s was a born again disciple of Christ. We
are either part of the problem or part of the solution, so we need to be good examples of
maturing Christians and to do all we can to encourage others to do likewise. There is so
much spiritual apathy and spiritual pride. Where are the Philippians 2:1-5, Ephesians 4:11-
16 churches, Titus 2? Have you seen any?

***Church History
“Christianity started in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a
philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a
culture; it came to America and became an enterprise.” -Sam Pascoe

***Les Kinsolving: “When I was once questioned about what was termed ‘bringing politics
into the pulpit’, I responded: ‘Can you cite even one moral issue which has not been the
subject of legislation?’”

19
***”He is not a God of confusion, of discordance, or accidental, random, private courses in
the execution of His will, but of determinate, regulated, prescribed action.” -John Henry
Newman

***This author of the following sure has a good view of what's happening to our country!
“Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your
direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but
that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our
values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and
called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists
and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building
self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's
possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography
and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our
forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today;
cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!”

***Terrible about how deceit is greatly increasing in USA politics and so many are being
fooled because they won't do their own research. The Internet provides much easier ways to
research than we had in the only library days. But I believe that many can still be fooled by
articles and ads because they know little or nothing about God's wisdom, truths, and
desires; they have just been students and readers of liberal teachers and book writers.

***I suggest you do an Internet search for “Todd Bentley” and see what he is teaching etc.
in the current Lakewood, Florida revival. Also do a search on “faith healers”. None of them
had perfect health. Those who say that the Bible is not needed today and who misuse the
beginning of “the Lord's Prayer” or the two “by His stripes” verses are not true Christians.
There are exhortations by the Apostle Paul against following signs and wonders. But
miracles will happen when Christians are living true Christianity.

***I grieve whenever I hear preachers spouting off spiritual theories based on misusing
Scripture. I have done a lot of intercessory prayer for those individuals and their misled
followers. Today, I heard an interview of the leader of the Lakeland revival actually say we
don't need the Bible anymore, just signs and wonders. He also is mis-teaching the beginning
of “the Lord's prayer” claiming that God's will will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven and
that is why He will heal anyone who believes that and desires to be miraculously healed.
There are others who are teaching the same, but just because there are healings does not
mean it is right. And such teachers in the past had health problems. Jesus Christ did not
heal all when He was in human form, there are many great true Christians who were not
healed, and the Bible also says that Satan and the demons can do signs and wonders. I was
rebuked by a Jesus Only cult leader for my ID of “Bible lover Bill” and use of the teachings
of the Apostle Paul in my Bible study tools. Only God's Word is guaranteed not to return
back void or unfruitful. That is why almost all of my Bible study tools are mostly Scripture,
thought provoking formatting and questions, and no commentary.

~Ministry

***I am a former Christian school teacher, Christian curriculum developer, office worker,
and computer data collection system developer in the USA. I am now in Germany and am

doing fulltime Internet ministry and intercessory praying. I am very concerned about what
is happening in the world today. I believe that the Age of Grace is in the ending stage. We
cannot change the lying politicians and the misleading Christian preachers, but we can
change ourselves to being more Christ-like. I have shared Philippians 2:1-5 and Jude almost
daily.

***I believer that the Age of Grace is ending. I have been doing fulltime Internet ministry
for the Great Commission since January of 2004. I have been known as Biblelover8 and
Bible lover Bill. My focus has been in sharing God’s wonderful truths. I have especially
shared Romans 8:28, Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 2:1-5, Ephesians 4:11-16, and Jude 20-25 a
few thousand times.

***“Hurt people hurt people. Healed people heal people.” I never wanted to hurt anyone. I
have loved opportunities to properly Biblically encourage and counsel others to help them
heal.

***I thought that I had heard and read all aspects of the Prodigal Son parable. But I
happened to hear something new last night via 3ABN Internet TV: The prodigal son
learned something his brother hadn't-- that real freedom was in being with his Father and
submitting to his commandments. That goes along with what Jesus Christ said in John 14-
16 and what Galatians 5 indicates.

***I am just an adopted child of God doing all I can for the Great Commission because I
love true Christianity. I am not successful in ministry without Holy Spirit help. Praise God
for whatever good you see in what I sent since I try to do what the Holy Spirit urges. Please
tell me if you see any mistakes because sometimes I am not thinking as Proverbs 3:5-6 says.
I hope you will share those items with others. I have more too. Hope you will enjoy the two
websites.

***I am just for what the Bible says. I am not for arguing about denominational distinctives
or spiritual theories. Having the right faith in God and the Bible is what is important. Our
desire to become more Christ-like should be the result of such faith.

***I do not deliberately think of Bible commandments. Each morning I just commit myself
to wanting to be more Christ-like and living for the Great Commission ministry instead of
selfish desires. I live Proverbs 3:5-6 because it makes me sensitive to the Holy Spirit. And He
occasionally reminds me of appropriate commandments in the Bible. Am I ... See
Morewrong to live this way? I do get blessed with a lot of divine peace and divine joy when
doing such. BTW, I originally bought a computer to use to play sports and sim games with,
but the Holy Spirit has let me play them just a few times during the past 20 years! The time
that God allows us to have is so precious, and He has kept me from death a few times, so I
am glad to use time to be His ambassador as much as possible. And I believe that we might
be in the ending of the Age of Grace, so I encourage others to stop just being religious and to
do more for the Great Commission. God's wonderful truths need to be shared a lot more
than they are. Only God's promises will help people handle the tougher times ahead.

***Just think if “the Golden Rule” were obeyed? Matthew 7:12-- “Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law

21
and the prophets.” I personally translate it as, “Think before I say or do anything, would I
want it said or done to me.” It tends to make me think twice before I make hasty decisions.

***I have some good information about God-pleasing friendship, love, and marriage that I
give for free.

***I do share about the Two Great Commandments whenever I can. I usually use a
spiritual telescope (that can hear too and is a means of talking with someone too)
illustration, pointing such up for the first Commandment and when the Holy Spirit gives
instructions to say and do, it is pointed horizontally. Did you realize that the big Ten are
directly related to the Great Two? The first four are for the first Great Commandment and
the last six for the second Great Commandment. All of the commandments in the Bible can
be put in either of the two categories. Many preachers say that Christians don't need to care
about any of the commandments because they claim they were all nailed to the Cross and
Christians are only living in God's grace. Jesus Christ and the New Testament believers
only had the Old Testament to go by and later some of the Epistles. The Bible says that the
ordinances were nailed to the Cross and these include the commandments that were made
only for the Israelites. The Sermon of the Mount and the Epistles of Paul indicate that
more righteousness is required from the Christians than the Israelites. For example, the
Sermon of the Mount is almost all commandments and Romans 1-5 emphasize God's grace
and plan for Salvation from spiritual death, but the rest of the book (which was used in
1700s USA law schools) has many commandments. They should have unselfish motives for
being righteous and compassionate, which explains why Jesus commanded us to have
righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees. Also, most of the commandments in the
New Testament have to do with thinking not doing which is opposite of the Old Testament
commandment, ordinances, and rules. Why do so many people declare Christians and
Christian denominations hypocritical? Could it be that most professing Christians are not
obeying what Jesus Christ said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Such
obedience is not legalism. The latter is when spiritual leaders and spouses practically force
others to obey them or certain verses in the Bible. If we are so thankful for Salvation and
how God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit have helped us to live better lives,
then we will want to do whatever the Holy Spirit and the Bible urges as we strive to be more
Christ-like and less selfish every day. And true Christians will be seeking for things to be
thankful for instead of being like many others who like seeking for bad things to complain
about. To many, Philippians 4:4 seems impossible to obey, but there is always something to
be thankful for and things could be worse and are worse for other people in the world. And
what does Ephesians 5 indicate should follow being filled with the Holy Spirit?

***I have had several personal revivals in private study and group discussion about 2
Corinthians 3-4. Those chapters along with Galatians clearly indicate the main differences
between Old Testament and New Testament living. And Romans 14:17 says that the
Kingdom of God for today “is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” As the
moon reflects the sunlight, Christians should be reflecting Christ-likeness. That is why I
have encouraged hundreds via e-mails and blog site communications, Proverbs 3:5-6,
Philippians 2:1-5, and Jude 20-23 living.

***I want to find other Internet ministries and Christian denominations which would share
my Bible study tools for encouraging others to personally study and respond to God's
wonderful truths. We seem to be in the ending of the Age of Grace. Jesus Christ is coming

22
back for a purified Bride, and most of the purification will have been done before that
wonderful Day. A major theme in the Bible is repentance to righteousness. We are either
living for God or ourselves, being unselfish or selfish, being Holy Spirit led for becoming
more Christ-like or being selfish feelings led for humanism. God's love and grace and the
Christian Gospel are wonderful, but there is responsibility expected of the adopted children
of God. And what did Jesus Christ say would prove that His disciples love Him? But most
church goers I have seen do not manifest “the fruit of the Spirit”. I highly recommend Bob
Chapman's book, “Extreme Lives for Extreme Times-- Living for Jesus in the 21st
Century”. I have encouraged thousands to live Philippians 2:1-5, Proverbs 3:5-6, and Jude
20-23.

***I have been doing enough warning about the forms of spiritual warfare that are being
used in politics and in churches. Maybe I have done too much. I have lost some “friends”
because of my “watchman on the wall” ministry. I finally finished 1-- Bible Study About
Light http://www.humyo.com/F/9538789-1625612459 . It confirmed that I am right in
encouraging Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 2:1-5, and Jude 20-23 living.

***Too bad that such a small number of USA citizens live the National Motto. That is why I
promote Proverbs 3:5-6 living.

***We need to live Jude 20-23 more and encourage others to do so too. Also, Philippians
4:4-8 living is the best way to do friendship evangelism.

***I have suggested to many to begin a home group Bible study and to choose an epistle to
go verse by verse in. And each participant should ask for each verse, “Is this verse
something I already know and believe?” “Does this verse indicate something that I need to
change in my life?

*** One of my life Bible verses was 1 Corinthians 10:13 which says to me that God knows
how much each of us can take or handle and will provide an escape if necessary. I
summarized it "no test past my strength". After upsets in my life, Romans 8:28 and Psalm
37 helped me go on with hope of better days ahead. Looking for things to be thankful for
most of the time and thinking "Que sera, sera" at appropriate times have also helped me a
lot.

***To many, Philippians 4:4 seems impossible to obey, but there is always something to be
thankful for and things could be worse and are worse for other people in the world. And the
wonderful promise in Romans 8:28 with the word “eventually” inserted appropriately has
helped me continue living. But most prefer to have self pity parties. When I see prayer
requests for apparent true Christians, I pray that they will be good testimonies during their
suffering because the best evidence to a non-believer is divine peace and divine joy
manifested by one who has a great health or physical challenge.

***If Christians were doing what Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 2:1-5, and Ephesians 4:11-16
say, they would be for almost all of the same things because they would all be guided by the
Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ (John 16:13). Learning the mind of Christ means learning to
think as He does. But most Christians just want to focus on religious rituals, feelings,
opinions, gossip, and slander instead.

23
***Did you know that most banks have their new teller trainees spend many hours handling
only with real money while practicing the procedures so that later when they are given
counterfeit money they will know it? Philippians 4:4-8 and 2 Timothy 3:15-16 indicate
similar for Christians to think and do in order to discern the false and deception. So that is
why I prefer to share God's wonderful truths and encourage others to do more personal
Bible study and make appropriate changes towards Christ-likeness.

***Please pray for me to be contacted by individuals who will help me with my Internet
ministries. I just can't keep up with even the e-mails. There aren't enough hours in each
day. I can't keep up with e-mails and blog sites’ communications and my information
Yahoo groups without the two needed volunteer secretaries:
• to send out requested Bible studies and courses and spiritual articles
• to screen my e-mails and transfer good articles to MS Word documents
• to keep me updated about good blogs in the blogsites I am a member of and possibly
to screen the messages to seek website ministries
• to put my websites' Urls in to proofread my Bible studies and spiritual essays
• to choose the best of the clean humor (usually only 10%) that I have received in my
BibleloverBill e-mail account and then sort them in the folders that I have established
already.

~Some of my personal testimonies

***I am for Grace only in relation to Justification and Salvation. And I am for increasing
Christ-like righteousness and agapè compassion for Sanctification.

***Sometime in the early 1980s when we were in Texas, I had purchased a wonderful book
by Dick Eastman, “A Celebration of Praise”. It was like a devotional and it was made up of
his research about God. I had not been able to read it before the Holy Spirit told me to give
it to Wendy the secretary of the Christian school I was going to teach in San Leandro,
California. Later after that ministry ended in an unjust job termination (because another
teacher and I tried to tell help stop slander against a Deacon and his son,) we were going to
Fairhaven Bible Church. In its weekly written program, a book in its bookstore was
highlighted. One Sunday morning the Holy Spirit told me to buy that book as soon as
possible. I told my oldest daughter. When we got to church, she looked at the program and
showed me that that book was being promoted!! There were many books in the bookstore!
Guess who had to buy the book and read it? I even created an index which I gave to Mr.
Eastman later when we were participants of Washington For Jesus in April 1988!

***I start out each day communing with God. Throughout the day, I mostly am just living
for Him and doing whatever the Holy Spirit and Scripture urges me to do in my ministries.
Thus, I try to live less and less selfishly and learn more about God's truths in order to
become more Christ-like. I do such because I should have died in an auto accident in Idaho
in 2002, but there are still Ephesians 2:10 good works for me to choose to do.

***I almost died in Idaho in 2002 and I am currently living for Him and the second part of
the Great Commission every day. The Sabbath time has the most blessings. I try to be
thinking as Proverbs 3:5-6 as often as I can. The Holy Spirit is a perfect teacher and guide.
And the Bible is the source of what I love to share whenever I can. I do all I can to
encourage others to become increasingly disciples of Jesus Christ as Philippians 2-3 and
Ephesians 4:11-16 indicate. I believe that the Age of Grace could end soon for everyone (not
just for the unsaved who die today).

***I love living according to Holy Spirit urges. I become sensitive to Him when I am
thinking as Proverbs 3:5-6 says. He has had me do some strange things, like singing in the
Spirit while waiting for the Oaklawn Race Track attenders come out so that I could give
some Gospel tracts. He has had be successful in doing things I never thought I would be
able to do. He has had me minister to others in some strange ways too. Never a dull
moment when I am intune to Him and doing what He “says”.

***In the past 32 years, I have been exposed all of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit and
personally have experienced all of the gifts of the Spirit. But I know that I have witnessed
some people faking the gift of tongues, “being slain in the Spirit”, and other out-of-the-
normal responses during a charismatic church service done in order to be accepted. I also
have done research about the famous revivals in history, including the Toronto Blessing
25
(which my wife had visited with her mother and her stepdaughter). But I have not seen
churches which have what Philippians 2, Ephesians 4-5, Titus 2, and Romans 8 & 12 in
them. So I am praying that what is indicated in those Scripture passages will be manifesting
in current Christianity and I share this hope with others. Many in this world do not see
Christ-like compassion in USA Christian and secular leaders (instead they see arrogance,
hypocrisy, immorality, and selfishness) and they see how the USA is becoming more full of
happenings that Scripture says are gross sins (which would greatly anger the Christian
Founding Fathers). So I do a lot of intercessory prayer and sharing about these concerns of
mine. I am thankful that since January of 2004 I have been able to do fulltime Internet
ministry and share God's wonderful truths. Only God's Word is guaranteed not to return
back void or not be unfruitful (or unsuccessful). His Word spoke all Creation into existence.

***I have been discriminated against in churches for being divorced by individuals who
don't apparently have good marriages. Divorce is not an unforgivable sin. The only
marriages that last are the ones with agapè love in them. I am glad that I have been able to
share good Bible studies and articles about God's best for us in friendship, love, and
marriage to hundreds via e-mailing and blogging. I had to learn such the hard way. Such is
not being taught in most Christian churches. So selfishness reins and many divorces
happen. Usually the most hurt from the latter are the children. More free information
about friendship, love, and marriage go to the following folders--

and http://www.humyo.com/9538789-706022603 .

***The book that encouraged me to do unselfish prayer for others was “Reese Howells-- the
Intercessor”. I read it in 1975 and then stopped my habit of reading a lot of library books.
Since then, I rarely have read even Christian books. There is so much to pray about in our
world. So many tragedies are occurring: weather, health, war, political, crime, family, and
church related. But many will not think about what life is for and about the Gospel until
they are affected by such. More free information about prayer and praying, go to
http://www.humyo.com/9538789-702458891 .

***I am spending more time doing intercessory prayer for the Christian leaders and their
followers to live more Biblically and carefully share God's truths more. Most Christian
churches are so far away from Ephesians 4:11-16 and Titus 2 and Philippians 2:1-1-16. Why
do we have such bad political leaders now? Why is abortion, crime, lying, killing, illegal
immigration, divorces, and other immorality so common? How many Christian church
goers are doing anything for the Great Commission? Why are so many of them just religious
and apathetic? Why are so many loving the famous preachers who are not using or teaching
the New Testament properly? But most of my time is being used for encouraging seekers
wanting to love God and the Bible more and to become better examples of Christ-likeness in
relation to others.

***In response to 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18-- “Pray without ceasing. In everything give

thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” I thought such would be
impossible, but then the Holy Spirit told me to imagine a spiritual conveyor belt inside my
mind that I could put prayer concerns on and that He would also intercede for. Romans
8:26-- “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should

26
pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which
cannot be uttered.” In other words, we should have an attitude of compassion for others
which requires unselfish prayer. After I read the book about Reese Howells back in early
1975, I have done a lot of intercessory prayer and God has blessed me with so much divine
peace and later divine joy when I hear or read of good results. (Romans 14:17-- “For the
Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy
Spirit.”) God prefers such communication with His adopted children instead of selfish
praying or complaining. Loving God more and more and doing intercessory praying are my
core during my daily ministering and sanctification.

***I used to believe in two kinds of Salvation, one for Old Testament people and one for
New Testament people, but I changed my mind. It is all about having complete faith in God
to help mankind with the sin problem. All sins are because of selfishness. At the born again
time for each individual, he or she makes the complete commitment of his or her life to God.
Only He can do the needed justification. Remember how Hebrews 11 ends about the Old
Testament believers? Hebrews 11:32-40-- “And what shall I more say? for the time would
fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and
Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,
obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the
edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight
the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were
tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection. And
others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and
imprisonment: they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the
sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted,
tormented; (of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in
mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these all, having obtained a good report
through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that
they without us should not be made perfect.”

***I do not use the Sabbath time (from Friday sundown until Saturday sundown) the way it
was done in the Old Testament Times by the Israelites. Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul
did not just rest during the Sabbath time. I do whatever the Holy Spirit urges, and that can
be even doing Internet ministry most of awake time. I don't feel that Internet ministry is
work because I usually have enjoyable times. I do not look at Yahoo Sports news and much
less at the other news as I do the other days. I do intercessory prayer whenever the Holy
Spirit urges. I watch much less TV too during that time and much more Christian TV then
than the secular. Sometimes I have the worship music of Rejoice radio or DayStar on much
much more than the other days. Sometimes we take a one day trip somewhere on Saturday
or I take a nap in the afternoon. More free information about the Sabbath, go to
http://www.humyo.com/9538789-696172839 .

***I believe that the individual needs to realize the weeds and then to pull them out or burn
them to death. In other words, admit sins and stop doing them. I have collected good
papers about proper Biblical counseling and improper psychological counseling. I could e-
mail them if you want. Back in the winter of 1974, I was advised to read Dr. Jay E. Adams
books instead of Narramore. I also liked Dr. Wayne Mack's counseling homework books. I
read the Bobkin's research about the founding fathers of psychology in their book
Psychoheresy, and they proved that all of them had ought against Christianity. For

27
example, Dr. Sigmund Freud saw his dad get beaten up by Christians. All of them had some
of God's truths, but most of their theories and techniques did not have Biblical support,
usually because of being humanistic. But even most of the Christian counselors are not
helping their clients Biblically. I take counseling opportunities with much responsibility and
will only respond when I am sure I am being Holy Spirit guided (meaning I am completely
in the Proverbs 3:5-6 thinking). That is why I never did chatrooms and why I don't do IM
conversations anymore. Even at church, I might not give any Bible studies or articles that
might help an individual with issues of concern until the next week even though I have at
some in the Bible cover case. I want to have time to pray about what was said in the
conversation and not just give a bandage.

***I mostly go to church to minister to others. Most churches I have been to didn't have
Bible teaching pastors and elders. Jesus Christ was not emphasized either and probably He
and Apostle Paul would not be welcome. I have not seen a Philippians 2:1-5, Ephesians
4:11-16, and Titus 2 church yet. The best Bible teaching I received was in USA Baptist and
Bible churches and some home groups. The best worship I experienced was in some
charismatic churches and a Wednesday Church of Christ home group meeting.

***Remembering Romans 8:28 helped me have hope in the many challenges to my faith and
remembering Proverbs 3:5-6 and Philippians 4:4-8 helped me return to proper thinking.
The Philippians epistle has been declared the Epistle for joy and it was written by the
Apostle Paul when he knew that he was to be executed for his teaching about Jesus Christ.
We can rejoice in tough times as Philippians 4:4 says because there is always something to
be thankful and things could be much worse. There are individuals who are worse off than
us who we can at least pray for. Selfishness keeps people from healing and maturing
spiritually.

***Yes, I absolutely believe in miracles. I have had some in my life, but none of them were in
“healing” or “word of faith” services or because of James 5:14. I just have simply asked
God directly for help. He is so wonderful and knows exactly how much we each can take in
health, relationship, and situation challenges. But Romans 8:28, Psalm 37, Philippians 4:4-8,
and Proverbs 3:5-6 have kept me going onward towards Christ-likeness and doing the Great
Commission. Our wonderful God uses the meek, the weak, the not-so-smart to confound
and challenge the confident, strong (100% healthy), and smart. No matter what challenges
we are confronted with, we can always find something to be thankful for, so we can always
“rejoice in the Lord” and do intercessory prayer for others. Miracles are done by God to
encourage such-- for increasing faith in and love for Him and unselfishness. There are
verses in the Bible that say that Satan and his army also can and will do signs and wonders,
and will even deceive the elect.

***The spiritual enemy doesn't like those who are living almost completely for God and are
living and sharing His wonderful truths. That is why I consider my rebirth day much more
important than my physical birthday. I think that mothers should have been getting the
gifts on their children's physical birthdays for obvious reasons. It is amazing how many of
our traditions, even the Christmas ones, are actually not proper. And regards to the
challenges I am having from my wife and her pastor (being condoned by all who they have
told), Jesus Christ warned about such going against His disciples. And what were His
commandments in relation to such. There are also many similar warnings in the Epistles
with instructions about what are reactions should be. That is why I live Proverbs 3:5-6 and

28
think of Scripture as often as I can, because I need divine guidance to respond properly and
to keep spiritually helping others. In the past 4 years, I have spiritually helped more people
than in my whole life. I have also received a lot of divine peace after each attack and divine
joy from doing ministering after such. True Christians should be living supernaturally.
“Super natural” means “above the natural”. The Holy Spirit and the Bible are such
wonderful guides in helping us to live supernaturally, and those in despise such are left in
their selfish lives usually full of negative thinking and sinning. The Kingdom of God defined
in Romans 14:17 is for us every day.

*** Late in 2008 via e-mail, someone suggested having a THANKS Box for reading the
submitted comments on Thanksgiving Day. Dolo and I decided to make a THANKS Box for
2009. And anytime something good happens that deserves a comment, she or I can write
about such on a small piece of paper and put it in the box. Then, if Jesus Christ does not
return, we will read the comments on December 31, 2009. You might start a Thanksgiving
box too.

***Here in Germany, they don't say “Hello” here and I am glad for that. I didn't like saying
“Hell” (which I think is the Second Death destruction). They say “Hallo” here. But maybe I
should change my great as the Apostle Paul did in his epistles.

***I have had to do “watchman on the wall” ministry starting the last part of 2007 after I
realized that I was wrong to favor Obama to not let the Clintons get back into the White
House again. But I have never prayed against him. I pray that he and the members of his
gang of advisors might finally be sensitive to Holy Spirit conviction. I pray for those involved
various legal and political campaigns to disqualify him and for encouraging USA citizens to
complain about him to the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. And I
don't put President in the front of his last name. I leave the titles of articles that have such as
is. I also pray for small business administrators and Bible teaching preachers and Christians
to become more Christ-like. But even if Obama is disqualified, how can his socialist and
communist appointments be removed? I think that the Constitution only says that the Vice
President takes over until a special election takes place. The Bible indicates that there are
many who have the anti-Christ or instead-of-Christ individuals and I believe we are in the
ending of the Age of Grace. End Times prophecies indicated in Ezekiel, Daniel, and
Revelation can happen quickly, so I share Philippians 2-1-5 and Jude 20-23 frequently in my
Internet ministering. We can't change Obama and his gang, but we can change ourselves
with divine help. Obama won the Presidency because of most professing Christians only
doing religion and not the Great Commission and Christ-like compassion.

*** I was born again on May 25, 1967, before I knew about the total Gospel and John 3.
Since November of 1974 after experiencing my first Christian school teaching ministry
upset, I became a Bible lover and stopped reading fiction books, and my faith has increased
almost every time I have read Scripture. I did some more Christian school teaching and did
some office work and Excel software programming jobs, but most of my time was for
Christian curriculum development. God urged me to get married in 1970 and I was blessed
with four wonderful children. I experience the horribleness of divorce, but I have had many
Romans 8:28 blessings. God had me move to Germany in June 2003 and starting in the end
of December, the Holy Spirit has guided me to spiritually helping more people via the
Internet and church attending in the past 4 years than I have all my time in the USA. I
believe we are in the ending of the Age of Grace and spiritual freedom, so I encourage others

29
to use the Internet more to share God's wonderful truths. You can use and share any of my
Bible studies and anagrams. God said, “So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My
mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it
shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” [Isaiah 55:11] I am very concerned about what
is happening in the world today. I believe that the Age of Grace is in the ending stage. I
share the following frequently for obvious reasons: Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 2:1-5 & 4:4-
8, Ephesians 4:11-16, and Jude 20-23.

***Some of my current concerns:

I have had several personal revivals in private study and group discussion about 2
Corinthians 3-4. Those chapters along with Galatians clearly indicate the main differences
between Old Testament and New Testament living. And Romans 14:17 says that the
Kingdom of God for today “is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” As the
moon reflects the sunlight, Christians should be reflecting Christ-likeness. That is why I
have encouraged hundreds via e-mails and blog site communications, Proverbs 3:5-6,
Philippians 2:1-5, and Jude 20-23 living.

***Yes, signs and wonders will influence many to commit themselves to the world wide anti-
Christ church. True Christianity does sometimes result in divine healings, but it definitely
results in at least divine peace every time one does what the Holy Spirit or the Bible urges.
Also divine joy is another result usually when we do the Ephesians 2:10 God pre-planned
good works. Also, whenever we read the Bible, we should be relating to each verse we read if
it is something we believe in already or/and is it something we need to change in our lives.
We are saved by God's grace for such living. It is a lot better than what is happening in most
charismatic churches.

***I am tired of so many preachers emphasizing and misusing the Old Testament stories
and Proverbs. The latter are easy to manipulate or twist for teaching psychological changes
of thinking and doing. I think that such preachers are afraid of discouraging their followers
with the exhortations and commandments of Jesus Christ and in the Epistles. The Epistle of
the Apostle Paul to the Galatians indicates why we should want to be New Testament
Christians instead of Old Testament Christians. I did not say not to read or learn from the
Old Testament, because the whole Bible is for our learning and improvement. The Ten
Commandments are still for today and Proverbs 3:5-6 is the best way to be sensitive to the
Holy Spirit.

Then there are those preachers who focus on denominational distinctives and prophecy
theories. The former is wrong because of what Ephesians 4:1-16 indicates about proper
unity. And emphasizing End Times prophecy theories goes against a major theme
(emphasis) of the Bible which indicates that our focus should be on using the time that God
allows us to have for repenting from bad habits and sins towards doing what the Bible and
Holy Spirit urge in becoming more Christ-like. The main lesson from the C. S. Lewis book
“Screwtape Letters” I learned was that the spiritual enemy wants Christians to dwell on the
past (because of bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness) or dwell on the hopes for the
future instead of focusing on doing the best with the current day's what should be precious
time. Jesus Christ is coming back of a purified Bride. The spiritual enemy is doing all they
can to delay that by tempting Christians to live as if they are still under the Old Testament
legalism which the Pharisees promoted and required of the Jews. Believing in Jesus Christ
sets us free from such. The Bible and the Holy Spirit are the best guides and counselors for

30
whoever trusts God and wants to do the predestined unselfish good works He has planned
for each of His adopted children to live.

We can say and do perfectly right if we do what the Holy Spirit urges because He is perfect
and "saying" what He hears from Jesus Christ (John 16:13). That is why I try to live
Proverbs 3:5-6 frequently so that I will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Christian
sanctification is not automatically done like many USA preachers wrongly teach.

***So many professing Christians, including my mother and sister, think that anyone who
says they are born again Christians are spiritual fanatics. They think that most of them are
failures in adapting to the real world. They don't understand about Jesus Christ warnings
to all who follow Him. And most of them are humanists who go to church once a week. We
need to do more intercessory praying for such people and also become better examples of
Christ-likeness to whomever we relate to. I believe that many challenging happenings in
2009 will require more of Christ-likeness and intercessory praying than any time in our
history.

***When I was in my first Christian school teaching ministry, two parents got angry that I
wanted to have a birthday celebration instead of Santa Claus and gift exchange. Most of us
have celebrated December 24th and 25th with the wrong attitude and purpose during our
childhoods and after. But we also have celebrated our own physical birthdays wrongly. The
main emphasis should be thanking God for another year of life. Where in the Bible does it
say that we should get congratulations and presents? Most of the gift giving done is with
hopes of receiving even better gifts. But I still do a lot of intercessory praying during
December because it is the best time for Christians and churches to evangelize. Also during
this month there are more news stories of compassionate actions done for others and so I
pray each time I see such that others might be encouraged to do similar.

But the most important facts are: What a sacrifice Jesus Christ made for us. He gave up
wonderful Heaven and His power to come to Earth and begin as a baby in a poor situation.
And later He had to resist temptations, suffer ridicule and a horrible physical beating, and
die for us. He fulfilled the death penalty requirement of all who break God's Law and
conquered physical death, so that all who believe in Him and the full Gospel can have
eternal life with Him in Heaven and on the New Earth where there will be no sin and
sicknesses.

***I am not for the Christmas traditions anymore. There is a reason why a specific day was
not mentioned in the Bible for the most important birth. December 25th was chosen by a
Roman Catholic Pope. The Jews in Jesus Christ human form time did not celebrate
birthdays.

***Did you realize that the Hallmark Cards do not have the truth in their version of the
birthplace of Jesus Christ? The Wisemen did not have a private airplane or Star Trek
transporter.

***Even though Jesus Christ was really born either in April or August before the December
25th of that year, the Christmas season still can be used for good witnessing. And what a

31
sacrifice He made for us. He gave up wonderful Heaven and His power to come to Earth and
begin as a baby in a poor situation. And later He had to suffer and die for us.

***I am glad Jesus Christ is the only reason for the season and that Santa Claus is not. The
famous song even gives Santa Claus the attributes of God the Father. I have done a lot of
intercessory praying during December because many commit suicide then, many churches
have Christmas programs, there are media reports about good deeds done by people which
can encourage others to be compassionate, and families get together in which good or bad
can happen. It can be the best time of the year for evangelism. It is true that “Jesus Christ is
the reason for the season.” For more free information about Christmas, go to

***Why should Satan and the fallen angels (demons) get rewarded? Why should God be
punished by having to supervise Hell forever? How can people in Heaven enjoy Heaven if
they are able to see their loved ones suffer on Earth?
