Real Purpose!

It is important to understand it is not what we do but what we become! For that is what we carry on into eternity! Dallas Willard (1935-2013) Professor of Philosophy, USC, Authored books on Christianity.

Purpose?

II Chronicles 29:1 “Furthermore David the King said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the Lord God.” Commentary: What is King David saying here? The brick and mortar of your church exists for God! It does not matter your congregation size for the purpose is the same! We exist for God! For his glory! He created us and all that is in this world! Yet some refuse to give him glory? Secular America has the opposite ideology! Evolution says there is no God therefore man exists for man! All of the lost destructive ideologies ever designed by man whether Marxism, Fascism, Nazism, Communism, Socialism were followers of Charles Darwin! Socialism promoted today in America is from the same foundation! We in the church serve man but only in relationship to God! Men left to themselves will sacrifice other men to achieve their political objective of making themselves God! We believe God sacrificed himself for the benefit of man! Just the opposite ideology! The consequences are also opposite! Life or death! Our earth is not for man but for God! God created it and us! We are responsible to God to maintain it! The non-existent God of the socialist is an idea that it is all on us! The crimes against men on earth must be punished by men! They replace God as judge and jury! We need carbon taxes! Consumption of gas and oil must stop! Global warming is the fault of men! Never mind the heating and cooling cycles God has built into our solar system! Who is responsible for the ice ages? Did cave men not build enough fires? Did you know if everyone in America had an electric car our electric grid could not handle it! We would have to have more power plants, transformers and power lines to support it! More carbon gases! More energy produced to support it! Solar can only support about one percent of our needs! God has given us energy gas, coal and oil to help us support our industrial production and heating and cooling needs! To understand God has given us all things then it is not all on us to punish men because our outcome is dependent on God and the wisdom through his Word to manage and run the affairs of men! King David was saying all things are a gift from God and we do not own them including the humanity we serve in his name and those in our church! If you love God you will love men! If you hate God you will hate men! Who do you exist for? For God or self? We have to remember not to forget our purpose especially in these troubling times! We will either promote God or self! This separates between true and idol worship! If you believe you are the solution to the world’s problems you will become the problem! If we trust God he will give us the wisdom to overcome all our problems because he already did that on the Cross! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Purpose!

You are not here merely to make a living! You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand. President Woodrow Wilson

No Purpose W/O Sacrifice!

A charity which only knows how to give money is not yet Christian love! You will be free of guilt only when you also give your time, energy, and your resourcefulness to help end such abuses for good, and when you allow nothing that is hidden in the storehouse of your Christian religion to remain unused against the cancer that is destroying the vitality of our society in such alarming ways. Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) Theologian and Prime Minister of the Netherlands. Commentary: What I have noticed about most Christian ministries over my past 45 years is that they want your money but not you! Like a teenager! So if all you do is to give to appease your guilt you still end up empty! We have so many ministries started because the founders were still empty even in the church pews! Jesus said it best! He who is greatest in the Kingdom of God is servant of all! Again God’s Kingdom is a sacrificial system! Our purpose is found in sacrifice! No sacrifice no purpose! When you sacrifice for others a change comes over your soul and joy sets in! Happy people are sacrificial people! Selfish people are miserable! They may have money and cultural status but no joy! God created us to give because God is a giver! Gave us life and redemption on the Cross by sacrifice! Whether it be Jesus on the Cross or a family sacrificing for each other or a soldier laying down his life giving his all for his nation sacrifice wins the day! The war! The battles! War against who? Satan! Satan turned sacrifice on its head and sacrificed others for himself! Like Judas! When by faith you sacrifice for others God will send people into your life who will sacrifice for you! It may be a spouse, friend, enemy, boss or anyone who is a giver and not a taker! Satan brought death to the world promoting sin! Deceiving people to sin against God! God sacrificed himself to redeem you! Givers become surrounded by givers! Takers become surrounded by takers! The difference between heaven and hell! If not a giver start today! Giving is by faith and not sight! What does your Bible say? Give and it will be given unto you pressed down and overflowing… The abundant life begins at the Altar of sacrifice! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Purpose of Sin?

We live in a sinful world! Sin exists everywhere we look! We try to ignore it and look for the good but eventually it stares us right in the face! Look in your mirror! It lives in everyone who has ever lived! It lives in you and me! To deny you are a sinner is to become a liar! So what does sin do? It for one causes death! Physical and spiritual death! Sin is a perversion of the Image of God! It is designed by Satan to make God look bad! Eve go ahead and eat the fruit! But God said we will die if we eat this fruit? Eve God is a liar! Go ahead and eat the fruit for God is trying to hold something good back from you! The culture war here in America is over sin! In our scriptures God says not to kill or murder! Yet abortion promotes death! Homosexuality is the promotion of death! God commanded us to promote life through reproduction! So life through these sins perverts life and kills it! Suicide rates among transgenders, homosexuals, lesbians is 60 percent higher than the rest of our population! God is a liar go ahead and do it? The promotion of sin is at the top of our political debate! Socialism is another example! We find in the Book of Genesis that God worked six days and created the Heavens and the earth! All the planets are the same age! God designed the garden for us to work in! To bring out our gifts he has given us! One of our Ten Commandments says we shall not steal! We shall not covet! People for socialism want to live off the work of others! Free stuff earned by others! This is theft of property! Satan’s job is to make God look bad! His purpose is to deceive you into living a life that will prove his lie to be true! The teaching of Evolution in our schools teaches our children that God does not exist! Another lie! These sins are so threatening to civilization that God provided his only Son Jesus Christ to sacrifice himself for our sin to give us a way to escape the judgment of our own sin! This is the remedy provided by God to defeat Satan! Is it any wonder Satan persecutes Jesus followers! Persecuting them through social media, the Press and Hollywood! Even through our own government through tax payer funded abortions! We are either forgiven sinners or we are unforgiven sinners! Our public schools are funded through our tax dollars that promote evolution! God is truth and Satan a liar! What you do not want to do is believe a lie and find out the truth in Hell that you followed a lie! Jesus said I am the truth the way and life and no man comes to the Father but by me! Truth is embodied in the person of the God/Man Christ! Do you believe the truth or a lie? The choice and Blessings or consequences separated from God are yours to chose! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Tribulation with Purpose! Revelation 1:9

“I John, who am also am your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Comment: When you are in Jesus Christ no amount of suffering is wasted! In fact it leads to a promotion if you go through it with patience. Do not curse your enemies love them! In the natural John being exiled to a slave labor camp on a remote Greek island did not look promising! Working in a stone quarry on a rock pile did not look like a promotion! John’s faith in Christ lead him to his destiny! When we accept Christ we let him determine the path he has for us! We just follow him! He is always with us! Little Caesar did not know this was the best thing he could have done for John! No distractions in prison! No parties to disturb your library hours of writing his Book of Revelation! No loud music! The crack of a whip once and a while but quiet like a hospital zone! John in the late night writing under a candle light with quill and pen plotting the plan God had for his church! Writing in love to the seven churches who were praying for him and communicating to him of their love for him! John predicted the future of history of the world and God’s plan with precision! Out of love he endured with patience the suffering set before him! Most ministries today present a ten point plan how to get out of suffering? In fact if you suffer you must lack faith? Nothing could be further from the truth! I found Christ in the center of my suffering! So did the singer Lauren Daigle as explained in a previous post. Sufferings will come to all but when you are there look for Christ! You will have a companion forever! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Message to Churches! Revelation 1:5

Greek Translation: And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful one worthy to be believed keeping his promises a witness having knowledge of everything. The first born of the whole creation being before and after all things. The first born for the spiritual dead. He is the Prince or chief ruler of the Kings of the people in the earth as part of man’s dominion in creation. Unto him that first showed his love toward men. And washed us from the sin that kept us from our true purpose of life in his own blood. His blood the life of all flesh.
