EARTH is NOT mother

 

Genesis 1:9-11

King James Version

9 And God said, 

Let the waters under the heaven 

be gathered together unto one place, 

and let the dry land appear: 

and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; 

and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: 

and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, 

Let the earth bring forth grass, 

the herb yielding seed, 

and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, 

whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: 

and it was so.

If you think earth is mother, you're in for correction.

SPIRIT will set things straight, through Scripture.

It's time you knew the truth.

GOD has been maligned too long.

Let the WORD of GOD set the record straight:

You can tell the heathen from the born again.

They're nuts about nature, and the universe.

They love using TWO, simple phrases:

"Mother Earth"

"climate change"

A born again will never use such phrases.

We trust GOD completely, for everything.

He alone has control over EVERY facet of our lives.

If you're so worried about climate change, read this.

GOD is FATHER.

But earth is NOT mother.

We are to respect earth, for GOD created it for us.

We are to conserve, and not waste.

But only GOD deserves worship.

Read Genesis 1 to 2, and know how GOD created everything.

Thus, we are NOT to worship earth, or nature, as the heathen do.

GOD was clear:

Exodus 20:2-4

King James Version

2 I am the Lord thy God, 

which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, 

out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 

or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, 

or that is in the earth beneath, 

or that is in the water under the earth.

But man continues to defy GOD.

Romans 1:25

King James Version

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, 

and worshipped and served the creature 

more than the Creator, 

who is blessed for ever. 

Amen.

This serves as a warning to all who worship anything, and everything BUT GOD.

We need to turn from our ways, and become born again, that SPIRIT may teach us GOD's laws.

Everything JESUS thought, said, and did, was always in honor of the FATHER.

GOD's wrath was always upon those who worshiped "gods in groves".

2 Kings 17:9-12

King James Version

9 And the children of Israel did secretly those things 

that were not right against the Lord their God, 

and they built them high places in all their cities, 

from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

10 And they set them up images and groves 

in every high hill, 

and under every green tree:

11 And there they burnt incense 

in all the high places, 

as did the heathen 

whom the Lord carried away before them; 

and wrought wicked things 

to provoke the Lord to anger:

12 For they served idols, 

whereof the Lord had said unto them, 

Ye shall not do this thing.

Jeremiah 17:1-2

King James Version

17 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, 

and with the point of a diamond: 

it is graven upon the table of their heart, 

and upon the horns of your altars;

2 Whilst their children remember their altars 

and their groves by the green trees 

upon the high hills.

Yes, earth is host to all of us.

And we are grateful to GOD for giving us a place to live, and a way to survive.

The born again respects EVERY every creation of GOD, but we do not adore any.

Only GOD deserves worship, and adoration.

For He created everything, owns everything, and is governor of all nations.

Psalm 22:27-29

King James Version

27 All the ends of the world shall remember 

and turn unto the Lord: 

and all the kindreds of the nations 

shall worship before thee.

28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: 

and he is the governor among the nations.

29 All they that be fat upon earth 

shall eat and worship: 

all they that go down to the dust 

shall bow before him: 

and none can keep alive his own soul.

If you doubt all that, then look to these verses.

And know why ONLY GOD deserves the love, gratitude, honor, and adoration:

Deuteronomy 10:14

King James Version

14 Behold, 

the heaven and the heaven of heavens 

is the Lord's thy God, 

the earth also, 

with all that therein is.

Job 41:11

King James Version

11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? 

whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

Psalm 24:1

King James Version

24 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; 

the world, and they that dwell therein.

Psalm 50:10

King James Version

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, 

and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

Psalm 89:11

King James Version

11 The heavens are thine, 

the earth also is thine: 

as for the world and the fulness thereof, 

thou hast founded them.

Psalm 95:4

King James Version

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: 

the strength of the hills is his also.

Psalm 95:5

King James Version

5 The sea is his, and he made it: 

and his hands formed the dry land.

Haggai 2:8

King James Version

8 The silver is mine, 

and the gold is mine, 

saith the Lord of hosts.

1 Corinthians 10:26

King James Version

26 For the earth is the Lord's, 

and the fulness thereof.

GOD is FATHER.

Earth is NOT mother.

Earth is GOD's creation.

Subject to His power.

We've just written a series on tornadoes, and we know so.

He alone has authority over ALL creatures, and creation.

ALL GLORY belong to GOD alone.

Psalm 72:18-19

King James Version

18 Blessed be the Lord God, 

the God of Israel, 

who only doeth wondrous things.

19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: 

and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; 

Amen, and Amen.

Habakkuk 2:14

King James Version

14 For the earth shall be filled 

with the knowledge 

of the glory of the Lord, 

as the waters cover the sea.

Romans 11:36

King James Version

36 For of him, 

and through him, 

and to him, 

are all things: 

to whom be glory for ever.

Amen.

The 2030 plan

 

Genesis 11:4

King James Version

4 And they said, 

Go to, 

let us build us a city and a tower, 

whose top may reach unto heaven; 

and let us make us a name, 

lest we be scattered abroad 

upon the face of the whole earth.

From "What's with 2030?" we learned of man's plans.

With proponents coming from organizations, institutions, and nations.

Now, we also asked a question from that post:

"Will these bear fruit?"

We also ask you a question:

"What do you think?"

If you're born again, the answer is clear.

We present Scripture to you.

Scripture has all the answers.

As always, we let the WORD of GOD do the speaking.

Here's how you'll know if the world's plans will pan out.

It's the principle behind the plans that matter.

As well as the intent of the people behind the plans.

All are laid bare before GOD:

Proverbs 16:1

King James Version

16 The preparations of the heart in man, 

and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

Proverbs 16:2

is an abomination to the Lord: 

though hand join in hand, 

he shall not be unpunished.

he maketh even his enemies 

to be at peace with him.

King James Version

King James Version

10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: 

his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

all the weights of the bag are his work.

King James Version

for the throne is established by righteousness.

and to get understanding 

rather to be chosen than silver!

King James Version

he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

Proverbs 16:18

King James Version

18 Pride goeth before destruction, 

and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 16:19

King James Version

19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, 

than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Proverbs 16:20

King James Version

20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: 

and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.

Proverbs 16:21

King James Version

21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: 

and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

Proverbs 16:22

King James Version

22 Understanding is a wellspring of life 

unto him that hath it: 

but the instruction of fools is folly.

Proverbs 16:25

King James Version

25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, 

but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Proverbs 16:27

King James Version

27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: 

and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

Proverbs 16:28

King James Version

28 A froward man soweth strife: 

and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

Proverbs 16:29-30

King James Version

29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, 

and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: 

moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

Proverbs 16:31

King James Version

31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, 

if it be found in the way of righteousness.

and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

Proverbs 16:33

King James Version

33 The lot is cast into the lap; 

but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

Of course, Scripture has much more to say about man's plans.

If they be sound, or not.

If it be of GOD, or not.

For now, we look to the UN's 17 goals for sustainable development.

That will be third in this series.

AGENCIES of abominations

 

Daniel 8:25

King James Version

25 And through his policy also 

he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; 

and he shall magnify himself in his heart, 

and by peace shall destroy many: 

he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; 

but he shall be broken without hand.

What are man-made agencies?

What power do they have?

How do they destroy us?

What makes them agencies of Satan?

For purposes of this article, we focus on these Merriam-Webster definitions of "agency":

: an establishment engaged in doing business for another

: an administrative division (as of a government)

One of our articles inspired the creation of this post.

Only because it had verses perfectly describing man-made agencies.

Which are considered abominations to GOD.

We've expanded the list here.

BEWARE these agencies:

SOCIAL media agencies -- promoting pride, lies, and vanity.

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.

INTELLIGENCE agencies -- promoting confusion and obfuscation.

Romans 16:17

King James Version

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, 

mark them which cause divisions and offences 

contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; 

and avoid them.

POLITICAL agencies -- promoting their own agendas.

Romans 16:18

King James Version

18 For they that are such 

serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, 

but their own belly; 

and by good words and fair speeches 

deceive the hearts of the simple.

ENTERTAINMENT agencies -- promoting flesh, pride, and lust.

1 Corinthians 6:18

King James Version

18 Flee fornication. 

Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; 

but he that committeth fornication 

sinneth against his own body.

PAGAN agencies -- promoting mockery of GOD.

2 Corinthians 6:14

King James Version

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: 

for what fellowship hath righteousness 

with unrighteousness? 

and what communion hath light 

with darkness?

BUSINESS agencies -- promoting shady deals.

Ephesians 5:11

King James Version

11 And have no fellowship 

with the unfruitful works of darkness, 

but rather reprove them.

EDUCATIONAL agencies -- promoting puffed up self-knowledge.

Colossians 2:8

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.

RELIGIOUS agencies -- promoting false doctrines.

1 Timothy 6:1

King James Version

6 Let as many servants as are under the yoke 

count their own masters worthy of all honour, 

that the name of God and his doctrine 

be not blasphemed.

GOVERNMENT agencies -- promoting corruption, and deception.

1 Timothy 6:5

King James Version

5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, 

and destitute of the truth, 

supposing that gain is godliness: 

from such withdraw thyself.

GOSSIP agencies -- promoting lies.

2 Timothy 2:23

King James Version

23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, 

knowing that they do gender strifes.

CHILD ABUSE agencies -- promoting child abuse, and trafficking.

Matthew 18:6-7

King James Version

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones 

which believe in me, 

it were better for him that a millstone 

were hanged about his neck, 

and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! 

for it must needs be that offences come; 

but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

FOOD agencies -- promoting gluttony, and vanity.

Romans 14:17

King James Version

17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; 

but righteousness, 

and peace, 

and joy in the Holy Ghost.

BEAUTY agencies -- promoting pride, glory, and vanity.

1 Timothy 2:9

King James Version

9 In like manner also, 

that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, 

with shamefacedness and sobriety; 

not with broided hair, 

or gold, 

or pearls, 

or costly array;

PERVERTED GENDER agencies -- promoting unnatural gender choices, corrupting the young, and rebelling against GOD.

Romans 1:25-28

King James Version

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, 

and worshipped and served the creature 

more than the Creator, 

who is blessed for ever. 

Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up 

unto vile affections: 

for even their women did change the natural use 

into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, 

leaving the natural use of the woman, 

burned in their lust one toward another; 

men with men working that which is unseemly, 

and receiving in themselves that recompence 

of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like 

to retain God in their knowledge, 

God gave them over to a reprobate mind, 

to do those things which are not convenient;

WAR and ABORTION agencies -- promoting the killing of innocents.

Exodus 20:13

King James Version

13 Thou shalt not kill.

WEALTH agencies -- promoting wealth propagation, and acquisition, without regard for others.

Matthew 19:21-23

King James Version

21 Jesus said unto him, 

If thou wilt be perfect, 

go and sell that thou hast, 

and give to the poor, 

and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: 

and come and follow me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, 

he went away sorrowful: 

for he had great possessions.

23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, 

Verily I say unto you, 

That a rich man shall hardly enter 

into the kingdom of heaven.

What churches DON'T want to TELL you

 

Jeremiah 23:1

King James Version

23 Woe be unto the pastors 

that destroy and scatter 

the sheep of my pasture! 

saith the Lord.

It is not popular.

It drives away members.

It turns off its hearers.

This thing about sin.

About repentance.

Or the end times.

And yet, that is the VERY reason for the church's existence.

Something many churches forget.

Or don't want to acknowledge.

Because they have become beholden to the world.

They go for volume, for the number of followers.

They go for mass appeal, again, to gather more followers.

It's a "followers" thing now.

Churches MUST talk about GOD's laws.

Churches MUST warn people of their wicked ways.

Churches MUST talk about JESUS.

Churches MUST be faithful to Scripture.

Churches MUST live by Scripture.

EVEN if people shrink from hearing such.

EVEN if it causes fear, panic, and resentment.

EVEN if people resent being called of their sins.

EVEN if people would rather party, and have a good time.

EVEN if people think they're charitable, and doing pretty well.

EVEN if people choose to remain blind, deaf, and dumb.

EVEN if people don't want to see what's really happening.

EVEN if people don't want to know the truth of the world.

EVEN if people don't want to hear the LORD's reproach.

EVEN if people don't want to be involved in the world's misery.

EVEN if people refuse to be corrected by the WORD of GOD.

GOD spoke of these people.

Isaiah 30:9-11

King James Version

9 That this is a rebellious people, 

lying children, 

children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

10 Which say to the seers, See not; 

and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, 

speak unto us smooth things, 

prophesy deceits:

11 Get you out of the way, 

turn aside out of the path, 

cause the Holy One of Israel 

to cease from before us.

How can a church talk about "smooth things", when it can cause people to perish?

Shall we keep people in the dark, when JESUS is the LIGHT?

Church leaders, pastors, and ministers must do what we were called to do, in service to the LORD:

We must warn others.

We must tell them of the LORD's laws.

We must share Scripture with them

We must lead blameless lives, ourselves.

We must conduct ourselves, as JESUS did.

We don't serve the world.

We serve CHRIST, the LORD of ALL.

We are not meant to be popular.

JESUS already told us what to expect:

Luke 12:51-53

King James Version

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? 

I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 For from henceforth there shall be 

five in one house divided, 

three against two, and two against three.

53 The father shall be divided against the son, 

and the son against the father; 

the mother against the daughter, 

and the daughter against the mother; 

the mother in law against her daughter in law, 

and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

There is no peace, when people defy the laws of GOD.

Such is the nature of the world.

People would rather do their own thing.

Even as the laws have already been defined.

Many ministers are not holy either.

They are covetous, and thus, idolatrous.

They live by the lusts of their flesh.

They don't live by the Bible.

They don't live, what they preach.

Woe unto such pastors.

Woe unto such ministers.

Woe unto such church leaders.

We are tasked to lead people to repentance.

We are tasked to teach about JESUS.

To teach people to model themselves after CHRIST.

Who is the way to GOD, and salvation.

We are not to be caught up in the world's ways.

We are to submit to GOD, and resist the devil.

Ministers must talk about sin, repentance, and the end times.

We must warn the wicked.

We must be blameless.

We must stay true to GOD.

We must be free of hypocrisy.

We must be aware, awake, and alert.

We cannot be what JESUS calls the blind, leading the blind.

Matthew 15:14

King James Version

14 Let them alone: 

they be blind leaders of the blind. 

And if the blind lead the blind, 

both shall fall into the ditch.

Church leaders, pastors, and ministers are "watchmen".

We have GREAT responsibility.

Ezekiel 3:16-18

King James Version

16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, 

that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

17 Son of man, 

I have made thee a watchman 

unto the house of Israel: 

therefore hear the word at my mouth, 

and give them warning from me.

18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; 

and thou givest him not warning, 

nor speakest to warn the wicked 

from his wicked way, to save his life; 

the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; 

but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Ezekiel 3:19

King James Version

19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, 

and he turn not from his wickedness, 

nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; 

but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Ezekiel 3:20

King James Version

20 Again, 

When a righteous man doth turn 

from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, 

and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: 

because thou hast not given him warning, 

he shall die in his sin, 

and his righteousness which he hath done 

shall not be remembered; 

but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Ezekiel 3:21

King James Version

21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, 

that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, 

he shall surely live, because he is warned; 

also thou hast delivered thy soul.

More than at any time, NOW is the TIME to talk about sin, repentance, and the end times.

Today is the GREATEST opportunity to talk about the RETURN of CHRIST.

The Rapture can happen ANY moment.

How can we bear being lax at our job?

If GOD does not want anyone to perish, why should we want anyone to perish?

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

We must warn people about the "day of the Lord".

2 Peter 3:10

King James Version

10 But the day of the Lord will come 

as a thief in the night; 

in the which the heavens shall pass away 

with a great noise, 

and the elements shall melt 

with fervent heat, 

the earth also and the works that are therein 

shall be burned up.

When your born again church doesn't tell you about sin, they are remiss in their duty.

When they don't tell you to repent, they fail in their ministry.

When they don't tell you about the end times, they have endangered you.

When they don't live in holiness, they have betrayed JESUS, SPIRIT, and self.

Scripture was given by GOD, so we may live right.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

SPIRIT was given, so we may be corrected.

John 16:7-11

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world 

is judged.

What excuse have we, as men of GOD?

None, that GOD would ever allow.

1 Corinthians 9:27

King James Version

27 But I keep under my body, 

and bring it into subjection: 

lest that by any means, 

when I have preached to others, 

I myself should be a castaway.

Hebrews 10:26

King James Version

26 For if we sin wilfully 

after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, 

there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

As ministers of CHRIST, we must talk about sin, repentance, and the end times.

It is our duty to do so.

We must warn the people.

We must all lead blameless lives.

2 Peter 3:13-14

King James Version

13 Nevertheless we, 

according to his promise, 

look for new heavens and a new earth, 

wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, 

seeing that ye look for such things, 

be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, 

without spot, and blameless.

We stay on the job.

Every person matters.

We must care about EVERY person, as JESUS did.

Luke 15:3-7

King James Version

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, doth not leave 

the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, 

he calleth together his friends and neighbours, 

saying unto them, Rejoice with me; 

for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, 

that likewise joy shall be in heaven 

over one sinner that repenteth, 

more than over ninety and nine just persons, 

which need no repentance.

So, who cares if you only have one person left in your congregation?

But that person seems to be listening.

Taking to heart the LORD's Word.

Aiming to repent, and be saved.

Calling to JESUS for help.

That one person matters.

Being a minister is a tough thing.

And yet a wonderful thing!

Sure, we won't be popular.

We may be shunned.

People will avoid us.

We will lose members.

We may not have any money.

But it is not a popularity thing.

Neither is it a money thing.

It is a GOD thing.

We cannot avoid the laws of GOD.

No one gets to ignore the FATHER.

Man has done that long enough.

Look at how the world is today.

The LORD's day will come.

Let it not be too late for us to listen.

Regrets come too late.

Do your duty, as minister.

JESUS did say:

Matthew 9:37-38

King James Version

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, 

The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, 

that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
