Thought for Today: Tuesday October 21

As we survey the world scene with Bible in hand, we know we do not worship an absentee YHVH. He is standing in the shadows of history, still working to bring His Plans to completion… Every headline, every news report confirms what the prophet Jeremiah said centuries ago: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” {Jeremiah 17:9}. But never forget: YHVH will speak history’s final word… No matter how foreboding the future, the believer knows the end of the story – and it is glorious! So, do not lose heart. The best is yet to be.

For those seeking a perspective from Scripture and history on the pagan celebration coming up at the end of this month, I invite you to watch and study my Bible Presentation from 10/31/2023, called "Give No Place to the Devil": In sharing this with you, I aim to prepare you with Godly instruction concerning how we ought respond to, engage with, and disengage with those who are celebrating what ought not be celebrated. Remember, God loves all of His human creatures, even those who are confused, deceived, or in rebellion, and His desire is repentance for all men and women. His desire for those of us who know the Truth is first that we walk in it ourselves, and then for us to go out and make disciples for Yeshua, baptize new believers in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and teach them the commandments of God, and so let us do just that with the gentleness, kindness, long-suffering, and love that He provides us through His Holy Spirit. Let us pray for God to water the Word of God with the living water of His Holy Spirit so that it can bear good fruit. I pray that this study brings blessing and encouragement to turn toward God and away from the world, especially during this time. Please watch and then share this study if the Holy Spirit leads you to do so.

While I may not agree with Ken Hamm on everything he really makes a good point here.

Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Romans 1:32 ESV

Everyone instinctively knows that heterosexuality and marriage are designed into us. They have to convince themselves otherwise through choice and practice, or else by pain and brainwashing inflicted on them.

Since we were created by God for God's purposes, those who reject what they know to be true and reject God's plan for them have no reason to complain about their condemnation. They are useless tools, so why should the toolmaker allow them to take up space in his workshop?
