  • God Opposes The Proud

    Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

    Proverbs 18:12

    I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, especially in the trials that came upon me through the plots of the Jews

    Acts 20 19

    Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogantly superior and disdainful (haughty) spirit before a fall. It is better to be lowly in spirit among the humble than to divide the spoil with the proud. Proverbs 16:18‭-‬19 

    God says

    “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.”

    Isaiah 57:15

    “With what shall I come before the Lord when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves? Would the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

    Micah 6:6‭-‬8

    Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth— a stranger, and not your own lips.

    Proverbs 27:1‭-‬2

  • Creation Depends On The Sovereign God Of Creation

    God is sovereign over ALL Creation, Physical & spiritual. 

    He “works ALL things according to the counsel of his will” (Ephesians 1:11). 

    He does whatever He wants, and no one can stop him (Psalm 115:3; Daniel 4:34-35).

    We can’t limit God’s absolute Sovereignty.

    He foreknows AND He Predestines ALL THINGS for His Purpose & His Glory.

    Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, is outside His complete control.

    His Sovereignty is something we can’t fully comprehend because we are not Sovereign, but we can discern, if we are drawn by His Spirit, through His Word.

    God exists outside of time.

    He created everything that exists before time even began.

    God sees every moment in time as the present. We humans can only experience time linearly.

    Time, in our perception, is as a straight line & we move slowly through life from one point to another, only remembering the past, which we have already traveled through, yet unable to see the future that we are approaching. 

    God is the ETERNAL Creator.

    He doesn’t stop creating else creation would cease to exist.

  • Martin Luther’s 95 Thesis

    Martin Luther’s 95 Thesis

    A reminder of what it took to pave the way out of the Papacys false Doctrine and Authoritarian Dictatorship; stealing God’s Glory; tiring the House of God into a den of robbers. Luther & the reformers died a martyrs death for God Alone, leading God’s flock away from the flesh.

    All Glory belongs to God.

    God wrote this on the Hearts of His chosen.

    Does that seem unlikely for someone as sinful as you? To that i say; Even more the likelihood that you are one of the Elect.

    He makes straight the crooked, heals the sick, comforts the broken… If you are well; you have no need to be healed. The more unlikely one seems to be among one of His “called”; the higher the chances that one who all doubt is actually the one who is called into Him by Him for Him.
