What is Retirement Like?

Since being retired for 23 years you notice things about yourself! I notice that I drink several cups of sleepy time tea during daylight hours? I complain the mail man is never on time! I send several house payments in ahead of time in case I forget! I complain about the weather even though I am not in it! I wish Christmas would get here in January! I have promised my wife to vacuum the rug last year! I tell the guests in January that the cob webs will come down after halloween! I have two clocks in the same room with different times an hour apart so I do not have to change advancing or retarding by one hour every year! I leave the Christmas decorations up all year long! I look the other way when I see dust! The thought of inviting a guest requiring house cleaning depresses me! I kill roaches with a BB gun! The thought of ever having to move tires me! I get my carnival kicks riding my stair lift! I do not separate laundry anymore! Just throw the mixed bag into the wash! It will all come out in the wash! My tax preparer tells me it is too early to file! I love the winter when the grass does not grow! When my furnace blower starts I get a cloud of dust off my venetian blinds! I make my bed when I feel like it. I answer all spam calls to make conversation. Just a few changes you will begin to notice in your retirement years!

What is Sin? 1 John 3:4

“Whosoever commiteth [sin] [transgresseth] also the law; for sin is the [transgression of the law.] Commentary: The real question is who is sin? It is a spirit that defies the law living in all people! The Apostle Peter said resist the devil and he will flee from you! Resist him with what? The Word of God! It is written! This is why the secular war on the Bible! Sin will destroy God’s expectation of you! Sin is the rebellion against the laws of God! You become offensive to God! The true end of sin is for you to miss your purpose in God! To break relationship with him! Satan’s ultimate purpose! Why is the name of Jesus mocked in our culture? Why is the Bible pushed out of our public schools? Why is prayer resisted? Why the anarchy in our streets? Why the war on authority? It is a war on the Laws of God given to men by God! There are two Greek words that make up our English word “transgress”. A person who transgresses is willingly and purposely not acknowledging the Law! This is why the Orthodox Jewish children here in America are taught the Torah and to memorize the Ten Commandments! They are instructed to learn and remember the Laws of God! To transgress the Law is to live in a state of lawlessness! Without law we have Portland! Minneapolis! LA! To reject the laws of God is to acknowledge gay marriage, homosexuality, lesbianism, transgenderism, riots, looting, burning, destruction and the poverty that it creates! Divorce creates poverty! If you approve of those that do these things you are a partner with the law breakers! The church in America is deficient in teaching the laws of God because political correctness has replaced sound doctrine! Jesus said if you love me keep my Commandments! Keep the Law! We have reached a point in our culture where people think I do not need a Savior because I am not a sinner! The church is silent so must be no problem with sin? We have to advocate the Law before we introduce the Savior! However the 501c keeps everyone quiet in the church! We might as well hold cooking classes in our churches! The last mouth piece to acknowledge the Law is the church but strangely muted? The church has to come out of hiding! We can sell books to make millions of dollars but we are selling our culture for a profit! So what does the transgression of the law or sin finally accomplish? Sin is the last nail in the coffin of any culture! Here is a key most people do not understand! Sin will bring forth an independent existence of itself! Sin is a spirit that opposes God! It will send a person to judgment and hell but itself will remain on earth looking for another soul to send there also! Sin is a person! An indwelling evil spirit! The possessed do not know they are possessed unless they understand the reason for their rejection of the Law and Jesus Christ! Jesus went to the Cross for our sin! Why the war on Crosses across America? He fulfilled the Law completely by taking our penalty for sin death upon himself! Then your relationship with God is re-established! Sin no longer separates you from God and you willingly acknowledge and live your life according to the Law! Jesus gives you the power to want to follow his commandments! Repentance acknowledges our sin and rebellion against the Laws of God! Then you become born again with the Holy Spirit instead of Satan leading your life towards heaven to be with Christ forever!

Is God Homophobic?

Jude 1:7 “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

Everyone is Raised from the Dead!

1 Corinthians 15:22 “For as in Adam all [die], even so in Christ shall all be [made alive].” Commentary: The word die used here means a natural death. The words ‘made alive’, means to be raised from the dead! So all die and all shall be raised from the dead! Some to everlasting life and some to everlasting judgment! This is determined by what we do with Christ while living here on earth! Accept him or reject him? Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead yet he died again! Jesus raised the widow’s son yet he died again! Then after the Cross Jesus was raised from the dead! The resurrection is the seal of approval by God for the redemption of man! Jesus has also given us a spiritual resurrection while living here on earth! Jesus said we must be born again! A second birth! Unlike Lazarus and the widow’s son Jesus never died after his resurrection! The proof of our born again experience is a changed life! No longer seeking sin but God! For some the resurrection is a leap of faith yet the same people believe they came from monkeys? If you deny the resurrection of Christ you deny his deity! To believe the lie there is no resurrection falsely enables people not to be accountable for their sin and the eternal consequences! However if you deny the resurrection one day you will be raised from the dead at the Judgment seat of Christ! Since Christ took your judgment for sin on the Cross and you rejected him you stand naked before the living God! What excuse will you give? Sin authored by Satan is the enabler for evil and redemption the enabler for good! The resurrection of Christ is the only hope you will have beyond the grave! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
