Is This Satan's Little Season? The Truth About the Rest of the Dead

You are being tested. Satan the Devil is your exam proctor. Will you pass or fail?

This video is interesting. I will add a few things to consider:

People are finally starting to get it. The lake of fire and brimstone is a metaphor.

This era is the age of the lake of fire and brimstone.

YOU are in the lake of fire and brimstone. Now. Today. It is not somewhere you go when you die a bad boy. You have already been a bad boy or girl and you have already died and gone to hell.

YOU are the dead. You are dead and in hell. Now. Today.

This world age is the hell of the Holy Bible. To escape hell is to escape the blindness and wickedness of this age and all its filthy fake history, fake religion, and fake politics.

The whole world has been deceived. History is fake. Religion is fake. Science is fake. Everything is fake. It's all a pile of half truths and lies.

The only way to see through the fog of lies is to look toward the Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.

Matthew Henry reminds us that Christian meekness is not weakness but Christlike strength under control. The believer walks in love, forgives freely, serves humbly, and stoops to acts of mercy others avoid. In an age praising toughness, Scripture calls us to resemble Christ—strong enough to kneel, serve, and love sacrificially.

Unshakeable Foundations in a Turbulent World

706 words, 4 minutes read time.

Psalm 119:116 – Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Introduction

In a world filled with uncertainty, it’s easy to feel like our foundations are shifting beneath us. But what if we told you that despite the chaos around us, your foundation can remain unshakeable? In this devotional, we’ll explore how Psalm 119 can be the anchor of hope in turbulent times.

The Power of Scripture

Psalm 119 is a powerful reminder of the impact of scripture on our lives. As we read through these verses, we’re struck by the depth and richness of God’s Word. It’s not just a book of rules or regulations; it’s a living, breathing source of life that can guide us through even the darkest of times.

David writes, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” (Psalm 119:105 NIV). This verse speaks to the transformative power of scripture in our lives. When we immerse ourselves in God’s Word, it becomes a source of guidance, comfort, and strength.

Building Unshakeable Foundations

To build unshakeable foundations, we need to focus on what truly matters. We can’t control the external circumstances that surround us, but we can control how we respond to them. As believers, our foundation is built on the rock of Christ, and His Word is the anchor that holds us fast.

But it’s not just about knowing scripture; it’s about living it out in our daily lives. When we make God’s Word a priority, we begin to see the world through His eyes. We start to understand that everything we face can be transformed by His power and wisdom.

The Importance of Community

As believers, we’re not meant to go it alone. We need community – people who will encourage us, support us, and challenge us to grow in our faith. When we surround ourselves with like-minded individuals, we become a source of strength for one another.

The early church was built on the foundation of discipleship, where believers were committed to one another and to spreading the Gospel (Acts 2:42-47). As we seek to build unshakeable foundations in our own lives, let’s not forget the importance of community. Let’s reach out to those around us and support them in their walk with God.

Prayer for Unshakeable Foundations

Lord, help us to build unshakeable foundations on Your rock. Give us a deepening love for Your Word and a desire to live it out in our daily lives. Surround us with people who will encourage and support us on our journey. And as we face the challenges of this world, may You be our anchor of hope, holding fast to our hearts and guiding us through the turbulent times.

Reflection / Challenge

• What are some areas in your life where you feel like your foundation is shifting? How can you apply Psalm 119 to those situations?
• In what ways do you currently prioritize scripture in your daily life? Are there any changes you could make to deepen your relationship with God’s Word?
• Who are some people in your life who can help you build unshakeable foundations? How can you reach out to them and support one another on your journey?

Prayer / Closing

May the anchor of hope hold fast to our hearts, guiding us through the turbulent times. Amen.

Vídeo: Festa em Jerusalém Após Anúncio de Cessar-Fogo Entre Israel e Hamas https://ntgospel.com/noticias/video-festa-em-jerusalem-apos-anuncio-de-cessar-fogo-entre-israel-e-hamas/ #CessarFogo #DonaldTrump #IsraelComAAline #IsraelEGaza #IsraelEHamas #Jerusalém #paz #news #noticias #Brasil #gospel

The #Gospel reading for 26 September 2025 is Matthew 6:7-15. These are the verses in which #Jesus gives us the #LordsPrayer (A similar prayer is given in Luke 11:2-4 Even the #Bible has both traditional & contemporary versions!)

The Lord’s Prayer is familiar to most Christians. So familiar that we don’t always think about the words or pray it as intentionally as we should. Lately, I’ve been praying a mashup of both versions, just to keep me focused on what I am doing. I use sin (that which separates us from God) rather than trespass (ethical transgressions) and time of trial (persecution) rather than temptation. Although these are not big changes, they are just enough to throw the cadence of the prayer off when said in community, so I tend to whisper them under my breath so as not to disturb others. As yesterday’s gospel taught, I’m not doing it for show but because I want to be more mindful of how I’m praying. #DPB #Green How do you say the Lord’s Prayer & why do you say it that way?

It’s time for hate-based Christianity to be stopped!

Some recent media reports indicated that just prior to his passing, the late Pope Francis wrote Catholic bishops warning them not to fall for the Christian doctrine being touted by some in the current American administration, especially regarding immigration. This post will go one further. It’s not just interpretations that are the problem, it is hate-based doctrines being pushed by some Christians pitting people against one another.

As one who was raised Christian, and who has explored many facets of the religion for more than a half-century, the unfortunate increase in hateful pseudo-Christianity is hard to fathom.

Instead of preaching love and forgiveness, far too many churches have evolved into a hate-based theocracy. Nearly as bad is the prosperity gospel that claims you are rewarded monetarily for being a good Christian. It’s almost like those weird television preachers of late-night programming from our youth have somehow found an audience.

And whenever a thoughtful counter-response is expressed by those who still preach love-based beliefs, it is too often drowned-out or ridiculed by naysayers at the highest levels of government, media, and even religion. Case in point was the vitriol aimed at Bishop Budde of the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. after she advocated for compassion and mercy by the new administration.

So many 21st century Christians, especially men, are now sounding vengeful, hateful, inconsiderate, and fear-mongering. Immigrants, minorities, the poor, the unhoused, gays, those of other beliefs, and even women are being singled out and vilified. Anyone or anything that is somehow perceived as contrary to the a “white men are right” gospel have become fair game to many evangelists, priests, pastors, preachers, and parishioners.

Did any of these people actually read the New Testament? Do they know what the Beatitudes are? What grace is? Do they realize Jesus was from the Middle East and was not white? Or is it just easier (and lazier) to become a successful ministry by pushing a hate-based doctrine? This is certainly NOT the Christianity most of us grew up with.

It used to be said that one cannot act one way on Sunday and then behave another way the rest of the week. Well, today, bad behavior seems to be a week-long activity amongst some Christians. And with their easy-to-use “get out of sin jail free card” always available through confession or repentance, why should bad actors even worry about how they behave? All they have to do is confess or apologize and everything suddenly becomes hunky dory — despite how many people they harmed, hurt, or betrayed. Frankly, at some point, there has to be some form of “divine justice” for serial hate-mongers within Christianity at the time they are behaving that way. Otherwise, the faith gradually loses its credibility in the public realm.

Generally, it is believed that comeuppances for bad behavior here on Earth take place after death, as we were taught in Sunday School (a.k.a. Hell or Purgatory). However, Karma is a useful concept from Eastern religions that helps one cope with so much of the free-flying crapola taking place in the world these days.

Some might argue that believing in Karma is counter to Christianity. Perhaps, but, nearly every major religion does have some principle that relates to actions having consequences, including Christianity. Furthermore, how is Karma’s belief in “a law of cause and effect” different from the following?

• The Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you;”
• Galatians 6:7. “for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap;” or
• Matthew 7:18: “A good tree bears good fruit, and a bad tree bears bad fruit;”
• Newton’s Third Law: “each action has an equal and opposite reaction;”
• Or even the old adage of: “What goes around, comes around.”

Once again, it seems that the ever-present “get out of sin jail free card” is the single biggest enabler of hate-based Christians. Why behave on Earth when eternity in Heaven is promised to those who eventually repent? Please explain how such a belief system improves life on Earth right here, right here and right now?

• Hate doesn’t end poverty.
• It doesn’t solve crimes or end wars.
• It certainly does not solve racism, bigotry, or injustice.
• Hate does not reduce sin.
• And hate absolutely does NOT promote peace, love, and understanding.

Meanwhile, living a mindful, loving, empathetic, and compassionate life while we are here on Earth would go a long way towards easing the hate-filled atmosphere pervading so much of our country and planet. All we have to do is be nice, be kind, and show others grace. Why is that so hard?

Peace!
