Lines in the Sand :: By Rick Segoine

Satan has drawn a line in the sand as if to say, ‘I will fight against the integrity of God to the bitter end.’ God takes an equally firm stand as His word declares that Devil Satan and Hell itself will be tossed into the Lake of Fire along with the Beast and the False Prophet (Revelation 20:10).

If the Bible is truly God’s Word, which it is, and if God is incapable of lying, which He is, then there exists an inescapable conclusion. Heaven is real, and so is the Lake of Fire.

Jesus talks about and warns about Hell multiple times in scripture. Matthew 10:28, Luke 16: 19-31, and Matthew 25:46 are just a few of them.

Imagining that there is no heaven and no hell does not make it so, no matter how many dreamers join in imagining such a thing.

Better to be a believer than a dreamer.

The prospect of living forever in a lake of fire and being eternally separated from God is a scary one indeed. Apparently not scary enough, however, to stop most wicked people from continuing in their wickedness.

The Lake of Fire is simply about justice. It is the ultimate maximum-security prison where eternal life sentences will be served to the wicked and to the unrepentant without the possibility of parole.

One difference between God’s justice and that of earthly judges is this. No one that is innocent will be convicted, and no one that is guilty shall be released on a technicality to commit more evil acts.

Another difference between God and human judges is that God’s grace and mercy allow for repentance, thus an opportunity to avoid a date with fate in the Lake of Fire. Unfortunately, and of their own free will, according to scripture, many will insist on keeping that date (Matthew 7:13-14).

Wicked people love to prey on and do harm to godly people, but because there will be no godly people in the Lake of Fire, all of the fun will be taken out of wickedness.

With all of the fun having been taken out of wickedness, there will be nothing left for the wicked but hatred, fear, anger, cursing, screaming, wailing, moaning, gnashing of teeth, and a great deal of heat.

If every wicked human would just simply repent of their sins and blasphemies and accept Jesus’ free offer of amazing grace, the lake of fire could be completely avoided and left for Lucifer and all of the fallen angels/demons.

Sadly, if history is any indication, the odds of mass repentance by the truly wicked are about the same as that of a man one hundred years old running up to the top of Mt. Everest in record time, and in the middle of the worst blizzard ever.

Fill up the entire geographical area known as the Middle East with eggs piled two feet high. Paint one egg blue and hide it anywhere in the pile. Blindfold a monkey and have him pick up the blue egg on the first try. The odds of that happening are about the same as mass repentance by the wicked.

As ridiculous as those odds are, what could make God happier than mass repentance by the wicked?

With the possible exception of ancient Nineveh, upon the king of Nineveh’s command, making God happy is not and never has been a goal or a priority for the wicked.

There are far too many wicked people in the world today who would gleefully crucify Jesus again if they had the chance.

Is it not absolutely mind-blowing to know that there are human beings in the world today who would whip and beat you to a bloody pulp and then nail you to a cross to die of suffocation simply because you offered them mercy, forgiveness, healing, salvation, wisdom, and an eternal life of joy and happiness?

There are basically two kinds of people in the world: friends of Jesus and enemies of Jesus.

There are two destinations in the afterlife. One is designed for the enemies of Jesus, and the other one for his friends.

Once God’s plan is completed, many of the enemies of God will undoubtedly wish in hindsight that they had accepted the offer by Jesus of eternal friendship.

In these modern times, we have the benefit of all of history to base our free will choices and decisions upon in regard to our eternal relationship with our creator. Sadly, the wicked choose to ignore history, repeat it, or rewrite it.

If you do not know Jesus, may this day be the day. Stop listening to the many endless lies of Satan/Lucifer and believe instead in the Only Begotten Son of The Living God. Believe in Jesus Christ who said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

As a friend of Jesus, you are part of His Forever Family and an heir to this promise. “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).

Your friend and a friend of Jesus,

We Must Take Action :: By Jim Towers

I had a dream a few days ago where the military generals, in a secret meeting, were preparing to act on behalf of the American people. They had been laying plans to arrest and bring to justice all the corrupt leaders of our country for transgressing our constitutional rights and laws. They did so with the authority afforded them from that same constitution and after having taken the oath quoted below.

The dream went like this: the transition from one scene to the next began with the military cadence like shuffling of boots on hard pavement. From above we see a column of soldiers in uniform marching up to the front of the government building. At the foot of the steps, the commander leading the column of smartly dressed soldiers numbering about two hundred, marches up the marble steps ready to do business. At the top of the steps, the commander shouts, “Present Arms!” The soldiers smartly obey, and holding their arms in the ready position, they continue the march while breaking rank and spreading out in various directions to hunt down the enemies of the country – our supposed leaders.

An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So, help me God.”

The armed forces of the United States – the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, the Marines, and the Reserves have all taken that oath. They answer to the American people, and it is their responsibility to keep us safe from our enemies – including corrupt leaders.

In my dream, I saw this scenario being played out but with the government building surrounded by an armored division backing up the marching column of soldiers. It’s bad enough to have political leaders who do vile and corrupt things, but when their crimes begin to affect our way of life, it is time to respond accordingly.

The president himself does not have to take this oath but does take an oath of office like the one quoted above. However, in our world today, taking political oaths is old fashioned and out of style. Everyone seems to be on the take or under, and the righteous are under the delusion that things will right themselves out eventually. All the while, subversives and criminals stream across our borders by the thousands to wreak havoc in our country. Chinese Communists, Iranians, Ukrainians, and Russians slither in among the huddled masses who only seek a better way of life, deserting a corrupt country who we, in turn, are beginning to emulate.

Then I woke up to the harsh reality that we might not have men in the military capable and willing of such heroics. It may take some doing, since these corrupt leaders are unlikely to leave their positions of power willingly. The above-mentioned scenario may have to take place if we are to continue to be a nation of freedom-loving people. Will we really see this scenario play out in the immediate future?

The founding fathers were realists and instinctively knew that once in power a man is hard pressed to hold on to that power at the cost of others suffering for his actions.

Take, for example, the delivery of billions of dollars loaded on pallets and delivered in the dead of the night (without the consent of Congress) to Iran to further their nuclear program, thereby aiding our enemy.

After stopping oil drilling in our country (thereby raising prices), Joe Biden then sold our oil reserves to Communist China on the cheap. Until then, our country was able to sell oil to other countries, helping to lower our national debt. He has also taken million-dollar bribes from China and Ukraine. And at present, he is being held hostage himself for armaments to fund a losing war with Russia – caring not that this action could spark a Third Word War – just to keep from going to prison for subversion.

American Trains continue to lose their precious cargo of chemicals through suspicious means of derailments and outright theft in the middle of the night. The head of transportation in our country is a sodomite who couldn’t care less about our well-being, much like Barney Frank in the nineties while many in our country lost their homes and the economy struggled to reman afloat. All the while Barney was running a gay brothel from his basement. Sick and evil.

In the current administration, there are sick men who think they are women, and delusional women who think they are men, and there are Godless atheists whose words are worthless and are just plain criminals. Albeit there are far more liberals on this side of the spectrum.

While I can’t predict what God will do about this country whom He once blessed, it is possible that our leaders will reap what they have sown.

I had to go to emergency for a thing called angina. My nurse Victoria speaks with an accent, and when I asked where she was from, she answered, “Russia.” Knowing what we’ve been told about Russia being a Godless nation, I asked how she liked the USA. She replied (with no prompting), “I miss Russia.” I was flabbergasted, to say the least. Then I asked if there were any Christians in that country, and she replied that they were a Christian country. I knew that wasn’t true, but we Americans say the same thing all the time. Who am I to judge?

In any case, she also said that Putin was a very good man and that everyone loved him. What?!

To top it all off, when I asked about the war with Ukraine, she said that war was all about money and that Zelensky was an evil man. Her final words were that Joe Biden was a complete liar and that he and Zelensky were in cahoots with one another.
