History has shown us time and time again that what is right is not what is popular! Benjamine Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel.

“Now it came to pass, when Jeremaih had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.” “Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.” Commentary: Truth is costly! How many Americans have died to keep our freedoms? What is truth? Jesus was asked that many times! Jesus said I am the truth! Truth is the attributes of God! Faithfulness, love, peace, joy and sacrifice! Jesus means what he says and what he says he is! God in the flesh! His words are prophetic! They define your past and hold your future! Jeremiah is a true prophet! He tried to warn the King and the religious rulers of their coming captivity by Babylon by their rebellion against God for serving idols! So the leaders and the people wanted to kill him for telling the truth! When Jesus warned the people and the political leaders and the religious rulers for the need to repent of their sin they plotted to kill him! You would think truth would be popular but it is not but lies against truth are very popular! It is easy to believe a lie but challenging to the hearers to believe the truth! Just bring out the scriptures about homosexualism, transgenderism, gay marriage, gender dysphoria and watch the anger come against you for telling the truth! Talk about the God of creation opposing Darwin and watch the ire of the Devil rise up against you! Just go into the streets of America and into the Halls of Academia and preach the Gospel and you will be labeled a nut job! The truth wins but the carriers of truth pay a price! Truth is costly! Ahikam was made Governer of Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon after he captured Jerusalem and influenced King Jehoiakim of Juda not to kill Jeremiah! However another Prophet Urijah in this same chapter warned King Jehoiakim the same fate as Jeremiah did yet the King beheaded him and buried him in a common grave! Church traditions says Jeremiah at the end of his life was stoned to death in Egypt by the Jews! Jesus warned us that eternal death awaits those who reject his redemption for our sin offered by him at his sacrifice for us! We must share the truth or otherwise we do not value the truth! Our purpose is not to win a popularity contest! We are to proclaim the truth regardless of the cost! We are saved by his truth! Truth is embodied in a person the God/man Christ! The truth will set you free! To trust God we must believe that he is and a rewarder of those that follow him! Jesus said I have gone to prepare a place for you! Eternal separation from God is the price paid to reject truth! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesuslovesYouChurch.com

About 33 percent of the world’s population are Christian. One half are Catholic and the rest from Protestant traditions. This is an average for some countries have more and some less. The largest country of Christians is the United States at about 70 percent or 243 million people. Nearly one in four or 25 percent are religiously unaffiliated! They name his name when politically advantageous but do not follow him! They do not follow the scriptures! According to available data the global Christian population was 40 thousand in AD 150. It grew to 218 thousand in A.D. 200. Then to 1.17 million in A.D. 250. By the end of the 5th Century the global Christian population was 10-11 million. According to the Pew Research Center there were more than 2.2 billion Christians around the world in 2010, more than 3 times as many as the 600 million recorded in 1910. However this growth was slower than the overall population growth over the same period. According to various scholars and other sources the high birth rates and conversions in the global south were cited for reasons of Christian population growth. The Global south includes Latin America, Asia, Africa and Oceania. The Christian population in Germany in 1933 was 100 percent! Of the 60 million Germans 20 million were Catholic and 40 million were Protestant. The Jewish population in Germany in 1933 was less than 1 percent. So the question that begs to be asked is how did the socialism ideology replace the Christian ideology? How did the Nazi’s come to power? Here is a quote from Article 24 of the 1920 Nazi Party Platform: “We demand the freedom of all religious confessions in the State, insofar as they do not jeopardize the State’s existence or conflict with the manners and moral sentiments of the German race. The Party as such upholds the point of view of a positive Christianity without tying itself confessionally to any one confession. It combats the Jewish materialistic spirit at home and abroad and is convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only be achieved from within on the basis of the common good before individual good.” This quote from the Nazi Party Platform is socialism in a nut shell! What was the message here? You can have your church just do not interfere with what the State is doing! Do not question us! Confess what you believe but do not confess what you believe when it come to the business of the State! Do not call out German culture! Jewish materialism is capitalism! Wealthy Jews that made their money creating businesses that benefit people! Like Elon Musk who now the Biden Administration says needs to be investigated! Never mind he owns Space-X and got billions of dollars from the American government for space exploration but he purchased Twitter where free speech is being restored and that is a threat to the political left! Investigate Musk just like Trump! The last part of this Nazi Socialist doctrine is the most revealing! Permanent recovery can only be achieved from within on the basis of the common good before individual good! Individuals must be sacrificed for the good of the State! Jesus died for individuals not the State! Under the Biden Administration individual Americans have become the enemies of the State! Hillary Clinton said it takes a village to raise a child! That is the State must do our job! Individual parents must not interfere with their public education and let the State raise your kids teaching them Anti-Christian values! We pay the church in America through the 501c tax exemption so shut up and look the other way! Many Pastors died in Nazi Germany opposing Hitler! Hitler claimed he was a Christian? But after he came to power everything changed! What percentage of Christian am I? Twenty percent? Fifty percent? One hundred percent? Christ testing me is the only way I will know! Interestingly Venezuela has the highest crime rate in the world and the population is 88 percent Christian! The problem is socialism took over the country and now the citizens have become the enemy of the State! As Socialism grows under the Democrats we will continue more people will become the enemy of the State! Our Constitution is a Christian Doctrine and protects us from the State! So what does the left do? Freedom of speech becomes freedom from speech! Wokeness! Certain words you can no longer use! Freedom of religion has become freedom from religion! The Second Amendment was given to us to protect us from the State in case of a political takeover by the military! To protect individuals from the State! Not to protect the State from individual’s! Read Revelation 7:9-14. You will see the greatest growth of Christianity in world history will occur during the 7 year tribulation period just prior to Jesus second coming! The Christian martyrs by the millions will be done by the State the one world ruler the Anti-Christ and his False Prophet the one world religious ruler! This is where Socialism is headed! They will ultimately be defeated at the return of Christ to the earth and the martyred earth population fills heaven! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYouChurch.com

“I charge thee before God and witnesses and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his appearing manifesting himself and his Kingdom in heaven. Preach the Gospel with intelligent speech; be instant in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort calling him to your side with all long suffering and doctrine as a good teacher.” Commentary: Would these words spoken by the Apostle Paul be your last instructions to your family and the church before your departure? If you knew you only had a month to live would you do anything different today? Would you make a will to protect your family? Would you take out a life insurance policy? Increase your coverage? Would you make that last mortgage or car payment? Would you sell your house and your car! Would you visit a mortuary to prepare for your death? Would you dump trash on your neighbor’s lawn? Would you do good or evil? Would you get even with someone or would you forgive them? Would you take out a loan? Would you do something I thought I could get away with now! My father told me at age 87 that he was too old to lock up so I can do what I want to do now? I did not ask him what that was? Rob a bank? Rape a woman? Kill my long hated relative? Get even with my ex-spouse? Become a suicide bomber? It would all depend on what kind of a future you believed you had! What kind of a future after this life? Should I be cremated or buried? Was Jesus cremated? I cannot understand the Green New Deal folks? So many contradictions! Cremation takes fossil fuels! Then the smoke from the crematory entering our atmosphere! Global warming on steroids! What we believe about our future is predicated on what we believe today! People with no hope do bad things! So what is lasting what is eternal! It has to be something outside of ourselves! What can I give you that will outlast me? Faith in the God I serve! That is what my grandparents did for me! The material things they left are all gone but the faith in Christ the living God they planted in me will live on in me long after I am gone from here! In fact forever! The Apostle Paul understood this and instructed his young disciple Timothy to prepare people for this life and for heaven! Preach the Gospel! Prepare the way in the wilderness of this life for others! Be a good teacher of the Gospel and be willing to suffer for it! Rebuke evil and teach sound doctrine! Our future depends on whether we prepare others for heaven! If Christ is a reality to me then I want to share him with others! My purpose is not to make money but to save souls! To point people to the Savior! God owns it all! I die to self so I may live for others! I do not sacrifice others for self but sacrifice myself for others! The Kingdom of God is a sacrificial system! Paul understood this truth and was passing it on to young Timothy as he was passing the batan on to him before his departure! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYouChurch.com

“Enter into the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few be there that find it.” Commentary: With the midterm elections nearly behind us I believe the words of Jesus here might take on new meaning for some! What did Jesus mean by a strait gate? Well it is a narrow gate! So what makes it a narrow gate? The Greek word for strait means a gate that is full of obstacles! That is what makes it narrow! Obstacles like sin! Now to further clarify the Greek word for strait it has a root word in the Greek which means to take a stand which is Strong’s # 2476. So this narrow gate means you have to take a stand for something and also to stand against something! Stand up Stand up for Jesus as the old hymn goes! We take a stand against abortion and take a stand for life! We stand up for law and order and stand against crime! We stand for sovereignty of our nation an against illegal immigration! We stand for the safety of our youth and against illegal drugs brought in by illegal immigrants! We stand for the financial health of our nation and stand against debt which leads to inflation! Jesus said the broad gate or way leads to destruction! So what kind of destruction is Jesus talking about here? Let us go to the Greek word for destruction Strong’s # 684. It means a state or condition after death where exclusion from salvation is realized a reality separated from God eternally! This is why Jesus said to go out into all the world and preach the Gospel! This is why Satan so bitterly opposes this! He opposes it through political appointments not just in America but in every nation to craft laws to stop the spread of the Gospel! Their war is not against you but against Christ himself! I have mentioned this before but deserves honorable mention! Here in America the Jews are split fifty fifty between Democrats and Republicans! The orthodox Jews vote republican and the atheist Jews vote democrat! Their political position is determined by their spiritual condition! Jesus went on to say few will find the narrow gate! You will either take a stand for him or against him! Which gate you have entered is reflected by your political position! There are no obstacles to the road to hell! Jesus said resist the devil and he will flee from you! There are many obstacles as we reject the evil of this world! But Jesus said be of good cheer for I have overcome the world! He has defeated the sin that has so easily beset us! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYouChurch.com

Elections belong to the people! If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters! Abraham Lincoln

Ask not what a Democrat can do for your country! Ask a Democrat not to do anything for your country!

“Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that goes to war entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” Commentary: How many recruits would the army get with this advertisement? My military recruiter told me about the benefits! The chance to see and travel the world! Adventure! Dodging bullets! After 8 weeks of basic military training in San Antonio Texas in the heat of august in 1975 I figured out that my recruiter lied to me! I lost 30 pounds in 8 weeks there was no fat left in my body! My belt size was reduced by 4 inches! Those were the beginnings of my benefits! I got the G.I. Bill for education and just recently got a free burial site because I am a veteran! So what is the Apostle Paul telling his young recruit Timothy that he has to “endure hardness”? The Greek word used here in this scripture is Strong’s number 2553. It means to endure evil! To suffer evil at the hands of Satan and his followers! Satan’s disciples! Why would Satan get so upset at me following Jesus? I mean I am going out into the world and doing good for people! Why would that make Satan sweat? Because Jesus defeated Satan in the biggest Super Bowl contest between good and evil on the Cross of Calvary! Jesus took my sin on the Cross and nailed it there and left it there! Death was defeated the biggest enemy of men! Satan does not want me to point people to Jesus and find redemption as I have and be free from the bondages of sin! Satan does not want people free! Free from guilt and sin! He does not want people to experience the love of God for them and the pardon of their past and the promises from God of their future with him! Satan wants people to be buried in guilt with no hope of a future! Jesus is my Commanding Officer! Where he goes I will follow and what he tells me to do I will do! In the military if you do not please your Commanding Officer you get no promotions I can be separated by him out of the service! There are many benefits for pleasing your Commanding Officer! This life is short but eternity is forever! I want to follow Jesus in this life and in the one to come! How about you? Life never ends not in this life or the one to come! Eternity is a long time but to be separated from God in this life and the one to come is to endure hardness that no man can bare! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiajesusLovesYouChurch.com
