DANCE OF DEATH

THE DANCE OF DEATH!

In Autumn time the leaves are falling one by one.
It isn't long before the trees are bare.
And as they fall - the leaves are dancing in the air
And yet I know the Dance of Death is there.
This is the world's great golden autumn day.
Everyone is doing as they please.
And as they break from God and drift away,
They are like the dying autumn leaves.
If you want to leave the branch of truth today,
And do the things - deep down you know are wrong,
The winter wind will catch you as you break away,
And for you the dance of death is on.To be an evergreen was God's great plan for you.
To live with Him Eternal years and more.
Yet year - by year you've broken loose and proved untrue.
Each wasted day, a leaf, upon the floor.

Do you love your religion more than God?

When Christians Love Their Religion More Than Their God

Instead of promoting Christ, Christians often promote …

their theology

their culture

their values

their creeds

their traditions

their spiritual practices

their specific type of baptism

their required form of communion

their style of sermon

their church

their denomination

their definition of salvation

their philosophy of evangelism

their form of ministry

their brand of worship

their interpretation of Revelation

their interpretation of the Bible

their favorite leadership model

their social customs

their laws, rules, and regulations

their political beliefs

their moral values

Imagine if Christians introduced people to theirGod instead of their religion.

Unfortunately, we often evangelize our own specific type of Christianity to other Christiansrather than sharing the Gospel with unbelievers — preferring to convert, criticize, and attack our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ because we feel their version of Christianity isn’t as good asours.

In a pluralistic society obsessed with consumerism, marketing, entertainment, and comfort, it’s tempting for Christians to endorse unique attributes of their specific church, community, traditions, and faith instead of actually introducing people to God.

When this happens, the Gospel of Christ gets manipulated from something profound into a superficial sales pitch that’s commoditized to fulfill an array of selfish desires.

A particular brand of Christianity is propagated above all others — being worshipped and valued even more than God. We lose focus on the centrality of Jesus and obsess over the infinitedifferences within Christendom.

Instead of being unified in Christ, we’re divided by our distinctions — our beliefs become a form of idolatry.

Rifts are created, fractures occur, and theological wars are waged. Opinions are stated, agendas are pushed, accusations spewed, and allegations of heresy declared. Churches are disbanded, communities are broken, and relationships are lost — many abandon their faith altogether.

As a follower of Christ, do you ever feel like you’re still trying to be converted by other Christians? As if your faith isn’t quite good enough — being constantly critiqued, debated, and judged by other believers?
Christian evangelism has become inward focused, obsessed with internal factions where various sects of Christianity jostle for power, recognition, and control.

Instead of focusing on the unreached world with the transformative message of Jesus, churches, theologians, pastors, and parishioners spend their energy and resources trying to convince other Christians — or shame them — in the hope that they’ll reform to their better, more holy, righteous, and perfect “faith.”

Upon learning that a friend, coworker, or acquaintance is a Christian, we tend to immediately ask ourselves: Exactly what kind of Christian are they?

It’s not sufficient that they profess Jesus is Divine and rose from the dead, or that the Bible is inspired, or that they believe in the Trinity. That’s a start, but it’s not good enough. We want to know if they’re exactly the right type of Christian — our preferred type of Christian.

So over time we try to gather the necessary information and intelligence we think will reveal everything we need to know about their faith:What church do they attend? What music do they listen to? What books do they read? What political party do they support? What social causes do they support?

Inevitably, 99 percent of humanity fails to fit into our ideal picture of what a true Christian looks like. But instead of following Jesus’s commands to gracefully love our neighbors — even our enemies — and refrain from judging others, we do the exact opposite.

Is this the type of live-giving, hopeful, joyous, and loving faith we want to share with the world? Is this the message of the Gospel: I’m right and you’re wrong?

Instead of comparing versions of the Bible — tell us what God has been speaking to you.

Instead of complaining about worship styles — tell us about a time you experienced God’s presence.

Instead of criticizing a particular theologian — tell us how God is moving in your life.

Instead of questioning a denomination — tell us what you love about God.

Instead of condemning someone’s beliefs about eternity — tell us how God has changed you.

Instead of arguing over the proper way to facilitate the sacrament of communion — tell us about the ups and downs of your relationship with God.

Instead of preaching about a right or wrong method of baptism — tell us your faith testimony.

Instead of talking about religion, introduce us to God.

Christianity is extremely complex. Thousands of years of varying traditions, practices, events, experiences, and interpretations have shaped, informed, and influenced an infinite number of cultures, communities, and individuals in an incredibly unique way.

This doesn’t mean that Christians should accept everything as being morally admissible. It doesn’t mean that all beliefs and practices have equal merit. It doesn’t mean we live in a world devoid of absolute truth. It doesn’t mean we ignore false teaching and sin. On the contrary, followers of Christ must adhere to truth and orthodoxy.

But we shouldn’t be naïve enough to believe thatonly our particular church, pastor, and favorite theologian is the sole holder of truth, wisdom, and God’s favor.

The most important truth within all of Christianity is God. God exists. God’s real. God's alive today. So why do we as Christians seem to talk about almost everything related to God without actually talking about our relationshipwith God?

Amid a world with unlimited spiritual choices, Jesus is distinctly unique! By introducing Jesus, instead of spewing the ugliness of yet another empty religion, we will reveal the wonderful glory of God.

The Beast of Revelation

THE BEAST OF REVELATION

No one should mistake the Beast, for when he does appear
These major points he will fulfill, the Bible makes it clear.
The ABYSS will be opened - and from its dungeon depth
The angel king is wakened - where he for ages slept.
With demon hosts he will ascend, like diabolic smoke
To blaspheme God and govern - earth's disbelieving folk.
In God's Temple he will sit, and the world will bow the knee
To its deluded hosts he'll say, "There is no God but me!"
Great wonders will his hand perform; the world will stand aghast.
And yet his reign is very short, and cometh very fast
Two and forty months 'twill be, the prophecy is true
All the world will worship him, except God's chosen few.
Then the armies of the universe, will join in holy war.
And Christ will win the victory, for God's eternal law.
Gazed upon by Heaven's host, the Beast will then be cast
Into a lake of blazing fire, to breath his very last!

MaMa Lavina's Beef🐮 NOT Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ burgers

1/4 c. Chia seeds

1/2 a pack of vegan or vegetarian onion soup mix * MSG FREE please 👍

The following spices or your favorite spices to taste

1Tbs Dijon mustard (optional)

3Tbs of Sweet Baby Ray BBQ sauce, vegan or vegetarian barbecue sauce or homemade of choice.

🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮

Preparation:

Place all the dry ingredients into a food processor or a high speed blender and process 1 or 2 seconds  just to incorporate everything and bring it down to a coarse mixture.

Whisk all the wet ingredients together.

Now pour the  wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and Incorporated into a nice mixture👍

I let mine sit at least 15 minutes to 30 minutes but you don't have to ,just to let the Chia seeds take effect a  little bit and bind like an egg would in your mixture.

While  you're Patty mixture is resting ,get a cast iron frying pan , or pan of choice and get it screaming hot 😁.

I add a little bit of oil of choice to my cast iron skillet.

Using an ice cream scoop ,or   a 1/4 c. measuring cup I make my patties. the mixture will be a little loose , but no worries all will be well. Just like you cook pancakes wait  until  one side gets cooked a little bit before you flip it so the Burger holds together. when it gets Browned  on each side, to your liking it's done😋👍Yummy.

God bless and enjoy 🌷
