Fully Persuaded

FFully Persuaded “[Abraham] did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strengthened in faith…and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” — Romans 4:20-21 Are you fully convinced that what God has promised He is able to perform? If you’d like a surefire way to test the strength of your faith, then stretch your wings in the area of stewardship. Tithe as God has commanded, and watch Him perform as He has promised in Scripture. Paul tells us, “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” We need to trust God’s promise, go about our daily work, and know that He will supply all we need. God gives a second promise that goes beyond the first one. God has said, “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse…and prove Me now in this . . . if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it” (Malachi 3:10). And God makes yet another promise which goes beyond the first two. We find this promise in Mark 10:29-30, where Jesus says to us, “There is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time . . . and in the age to come, eternal life.” You might consider today’s standard of living and balk at giving away some of your hard-earned money. But we all need to keep in mind that our God is not limited by inflation or other problems with the economy. The only thing that limits God is our unbelief. Stewardship and God’s fulfillment of His promises aren’t matters of money; they’re matters of faith. Do you believe that God can and will do all He has promised? Then put your money where your mouth is. Exercise your faith by being a good steward of all He has given you. If you refuse to waver in the face of God’s promises, being fully convinced that He can fulfill them, you’ll find that He will abundantly bless you.

The Bible and Economics

The Bible And Economics by Dr. d. James Kennedy “For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Do you dread going to work or tending house, viewing labor as a curse on your life because of the Fall? Well, it isn’t. Before sin ever touched this earth, God commanded Adam to tend the garden. God created us to have meaningful employment and to earn our keep. And He created a context in which we could live and prosper. God reveals that context in His Word. While the Bible isn’t an economics textbook, it does say a great deal about how we can thrive. The Bible says that if a person does not work, that person shall not eat. (Of course, this principle doesn’t refer to a person unable to work.) The Eighth Commandment, “Thou shalt not steal,” makes it clear that we can own property, ruling out certain economic systems such as communism. In fact, I believe free enterprise is a Biblical principle. Most people didn’t understand this until 1776, when Adam Smith wrote his famous book on economics, The Wealth of Nations. This book sparked the worldwide spread of capitalism. Before that time, most people lived a hand-to-mouth existence, spending about ninety percent of their income on food. But between 1800 and 1850, wages quadrupled as people pursued scriptural economic principles, and from 1850 to 1900, wages quadrupled again. This was especially true in America, where free enterprise had its freest reign. But in this century, we’ve turned from some of those Biblical principles. A misapplication of the concepts of justice and charity have created in our nation “social justice” (in other words, welfare). Public welfare is neither just nor charitable, because it forcibly takes money from one person and gives it to another. Public welfare also tempts people to take advantage of public money and to fight for as much of it as they can get. It destroys private charity and creates vice and laziness. I challenge you to apply Biblical principles of economics in your life and to cultivate a responsible work ethic. Resolve today that whatever task comes your way, you’ll work for God’s honor and glory. As you do, He will bless you for your obedience.

Love Restored

Love Restored by Dr. D. James Kennedy “. . . God is love.” 1 John 4:8 In the beginning, God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” As He did so, He made us able to give and receive love in relationships with each other and with Him. He created us in His perfect love. But now we bear few signs of that love. In our sinfulness, we have distorted His kingly nature and have all but destroyed the image of God in us. And with that, we have distorted and destroyed our experience of love. How can we love again as God created us to love? On our own, we can do nothing to restore God’s image or His perfect love within us. No effort or striving can perform the task. A little child can take an egg in his hand and crush it, but all the skill in the world could never restore it. All the knowledge, power, and technology that can split atoms and place man on the moon cannot restore that egg to its original form. How much less can we, by our own wisdom or strength, restore God’s image—His perfect love—to our souls. But in Christ, love is restored. Christ pours His love on humankind as He poured out His life in atonement for our sins. Though we’re unworthy, Christ’s sacrifice lights the fragile flame of love in our hearts, making it burn strong and clear. As the flame of Christ’s love ignites each of us, those around us will catch the fire, and Christ will restore His love to the whole world. Today let God fill your heart with His love, and as He does, let His love flow through you to those around you. One by one, as He restores His love to each of us, He’ll restore His love to the whole world.

Just Beginning

Just Beginning? by Bill Wilson For all the fanfare about the government declaring the COVID emergency ended, it may just be beginning in another form. Government, big pharma, and news media collusion resulted in the truth being blocked about the mRNA shots that despite being promoted as safe and effective, were neither. A recent report indicates that the COVID mRNA shot caused 26.6 million injuries, 1.36 million disabilities and 310,000 excess deaths at a total cost of $147.8 Billion. The authors of the report estimate an excess 2021 and 2022 mortality rate of 23% in the 25-64 age group compared with an estimated baseline of 0.1% for those years. If you are COVID vaccinated, you are at risk. But there are ways to reduce that risk. The Vaccine Damage Project report conducted by Phinance Technologies was released in March. The report says: “The V-Damage Project is a study of the direct impact from the mass Covid-19 inoculations on individuals at a population level. In particular, we look at the employed population, aged 16 to 64. The impact of the inoculations was categorized into four broad groups differentiated by the severity of outcome. Of the inoculated individuals, a large group will likely experience no adverse effects, another large group will experience mild or moderate adverse effects, which could be temporary in nature or have long-term, even permanent manifestations. Another group of individuals could experience severe outcomes leading to a disability as well as the most extreme outcome of death.” Those who were of “no effect or asymptomatic” were “those individuals who did not experience adverse events following the Covid-19 inoculations. Although this group of individuals is most likely the largest, however, we cannot know for certain as to the proportion of the whole population that this group of individuals represents. We assume that these individuals are all those that are not included into the other three groups.” This group is estimated by the report to be approximately 82% of the population. Those injured and loss work or had lower work productivity were estimated at 18% of the population. Disabilities due to the shot rose 24.6% since 2021. And there was a 23% excess mortality rate in the 25-64 age group. The study points to future issues, “there might be individuals who had no visible effects after vaccination but nonetheless could still be impacted from the inoculations and could therefore be represented in the sub-group of injured individuals. In a similar way, individuals with mild injuries from the inoculations could, over time, develop severe injuries to the extent of being disabled, or an extreme outcome such as death. The likely path of outcomes would be from injury to disability to death.” Proverbs 10:14 says, “Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.” If you are mRNA vaccinated, do not ignore this report. Take action to protect yourself from unnecessary risk. You can start by going to TruthforHealth.org and click on “Vaccine Injury Resources.” This is a valuable guide to prevent mRNA vaccine injury.
