It’s Only Make Believe! John 3:16

Conway Twitty co-composed a song back in 1958 that went to the top of the charts as the number one song and held this rank for two years! The theme of the song was that he wished and prayed that this girl would love him as he loved her but finally realized that her love for him was only make believe! No matter how much he loved her she did not care about him. If you are human or even divine you have experienced this in your life. You wanted to believe in someone or something only to find a betrayal by that person or system. After all your love and affection was extracted from you an emptiness entered your soul. Human relationships are fragile at best! However there is a love greater than any human love! God’s motive for loving you is that He is simply love! Yes and He loved you so much that He became flesh! If you accept His love then you will find His love deeper than any ocean! In our spiritual relationship you can love the one that hates you through default! If you stay in the default mode you express your affection to the one who wants to destroy you! You can make believe about any man made system of religion but only to find in the end you are deceived and forsaken! Believe in the one true God Christ who gave His life for you and loved you before you ever loved Him and even before your love for Him was only make believe! In Christ’s Love! James and Hamsa Sasse.

God’s Will — Moral Issues

The will of God prevails! In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong! God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time! Abraham Lincoln, September 2, 1862.

The Doctrine of Estrangement! 1 Peter 2:9

We are a peculiar people! Peculiar meaning we have reached a point or place in time where we have found purpose in God together! Notice not a peculiar person but people. People meaning a mass of humanity of all nations joined together in one purpose. We belong to a nation of people. We are a chosen people by God through Christ to minister and serve others. His church is a proclaiming community! We are organized to take care of others. As citizens of Heaven we seek the peace of the city we live in. Start a good work where you are. Bloom where you are planted. Seek to help the most vulnerable of our culture. Paul sought to free a slave. We are not to Lord over others in our family and community but demonstrate love in our marriage and family! Wives are to submit to their husband and the husband is to protect his wife. There is strength in kindness! If you have to be told you are a leader you are not! The way you are is the way you tell your story to the world. You proclaim what you are. Sin has and is causing estrangement in our world. The cultural wars of divorce, untraditional marriage, drugs, crime and corruption at all levels lead the way to estrangement in our nation! In the Book of Genesis we see creation of the world and man. Everything started out right but sin caused Adam and Eve to blame God and each other. Sin has caused us to run and hide from God and each other. It became finger pointing! She made me do it! The Devil made me do it! In Genesis chapter 11 we see the Tower of Babel where men wanted to make a name for themselves! Sound familiar? The unity here resulted in man wanting to build his own kingdom! Man has unified against God throughout history! God divided the languages and confused the people. This lead to tribalism, separation, violence and a fragmented society. So what was God’s solution? To send His Son Christ into the world! In Ephesians chapter 2 we see God putting to death separation and estrangement. He instituted the resurrected life! In Acts chapter 2 at Pentecost 120 people speaking different languages but understanding each other. One language became many and then many languages became one! Many people became a peculiar people. The Holy Spirit is joining together many people for one purpose! God reverses estrangement! Why are we a peculiar people? The church is a community within where the Holy Spirit reverses all previous estrangements! We are a eschatological community! God’s first intent consummates in the church! In Revelation chapter 5 and chapter 7 every nation and people group comes back together again! At the end of the day we win together! In Revelation chapter 21 we see no more death and a new Heaven and earth living in peace and joy. Heaven and earth become one just as we say in our Lord’s prayer! Two become one. If we know the end then we can make the right choices and do the right thing now! Start today. We are called to live and die for one another! If we as His church do the right thing today then Jesus will have little to do when He returns! The word, “Apocalypse” is used 18 times in the New Testament. To most of the world it means the end of the world. The word in the Greek translates; disclosure, revelation, enlightenment and manifestation. Romans 8:19— creation itself is groaning for redemption of the earth through storms, earthquakes and other events. The world is waiting for the Apocalyptical church and our Christ to return! We are a chosen people and a royal priesthood! As we take communion this morning do you feel estranged from God and others? Jesus paid the price on the Cross to bring us together. Jesus poured out His blood for you! In estrangement Cain slew Abel and his blood cried out from the ground for redemption! Murder is the last act of estrangement but Jesus laid down His life as a sacrifice on the Cross for you! The marriage supper of the Lamb is waiting for you and me as described in Revelation. The differences we have is removed by God in unity with Him! It is joyful in Heaven and not sorrowful! God is inviting you back to Heaven this morning! We cannot hold bitterness. We cannot drink the poison and expect others to die! We have through Christ the power to forgive! Come to His altar now and experience the ending of separation between you and God and man!

Joel Osteen Side Steps Gay Marriage Questions?

Again he avoids answering questions about gays and gay marriage by saying this is not the focus in our ministry! Joel I would say to you to have the moral courage to simply say the Bible says it is a sin and wrong! What the Bible says about our cultural social issues needs to be our focus! Does money corrupt? Absolutely! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

FRC.ORG/Sudan

This is the web site you need to go to sign a petition to release a Christian mother in Sudan who has been sentenced to death for marrying a Christian! She delivered her second child in prison three days ago while shackled to a floor! Her twenty month old is also in prison with her! Her husband is a U. S. citizen which makes their children U.S. citizens! The prison in Sudan has a capacity for a hundred but currently has 1200 prisoners. Children die everyday in this prison due to heat and unsanitary conditions. President Obama and the State Department have done nothing to secure her release? We need about 81000 signatures on this petition by June 27th. We currently have about 19000. Marion is also scheduled to receive 100 lashes before her execution! If you are a Pastor or Christian leader please encourage your congregation to get involved! Really with millions of Christians in American and we only have 19000 signatures is pathetic! Let us get our minds and hearts off ourselves and be a true servant to consider our brothers and sisters in peril! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Dr. Ben Carson Audited By The IRS ?

This is another example among many of United States citizens who are abused by our government as Obama sends his hound dogs on those who do not agree with him! Never in my life time would I have ever imagined tyranny coming down on Americans from their own government? This is not the America I grew up in where law abiding citizens have to wonder when the dogs are going to come for us? We trust our God and I understand many Americans have and are suffering because of this man in the white house. We have a foreign policy where our friends do not trust us and our enemies do not fear us! Most Americans do not trust Obama either! A sad day for America! As we go to the polls this November let us look for leaders who hold constitutional principles dear and look for a veteran who has risked his or her life for our liberty! Those who are not willing to lay their life down for our liberties are not fit to lead us! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Tribute To Our Veteran’s!

Honor to the soldier, and the sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor also the citizen who cares for his brother in the field, and serves best he can, the same cause—honor to him, only less than him, who braves, for the common good, the storms of Heaven and the storm of the battle!
