Dang it, I meant we can't escape it. It's everywhere but in a way we can. We maintain conviction and our eyes on Him, live in the spirit and not fulfill the desire of the flesh

You’re not the only one. Sin affects us all. Paul talked about it greatly. As much as I think good, it’s always waiting giving me ideas no matter how hard I try to block it. Many times I win. Sometimes I’ve lost and feel ashamed. Idols are everywhere. TV, computers, iPhones, vacations, sports, clothing, famous people and so on... There is a balance to enjoy life in those things. God allows it. But we aren’t to put them over Him. When your heart desires something over His will, it’s an idol. Example: Deadpool 2 came out. It’s rated R for profanity. Do you say, it’s marvel so I can handle it. I’m not the one cursing. Do you break it down to think it’s ok? Be ye holy for I am holy! God said that. What holiness is light with dark? If your eye is darkened, the whole body will be darkened. Do not put things contrary to God and his will before him. As you said, do not say I AM can handle it. I’ll be fine. Flee temptation. Do I want to see Deadpool 2? Yep. Love marvel movies. I won’t watch it till it’s cleaned up. No cursing, no blasphemy like the Pizza Hut girls commercial, no nudity etc.. Funny - it was on a regular cable channel (or maybe it was the first one) and my (13 yr. old) daughter & I were watching it. And wouldnt you know I heard EFF bombs. I said "Did i just hear what I thought?" She said "yeah that wasnt the first time either". Had to turn it off I haven't had a TV running since 2006. Cancelled the cable. No Netflix either. No TV news or CNN. Did you read that Ecumenism: Mormon Prophet thread with bora and glenn yet? Man that's a good thread. Bora sounds even smarter than i thought she was. The only thing i know about the Mormons is from the Donny and Marie Osmond Show. They looked healthy. Check out this movie clip from 1961, the year i was born. Karl Malden is praying with Marlon Brandow in Jesus' Name. Dear Heavenly Father, in thy graciousness, Thou has seen fit to grace this table with Thy Divine bounty.
We offer up our humble thanks and ask that you bless this food for our use.
And us to Thy service.
And make us ever mindful of the needs of others.
In Jesus Name Amen.
Except there come a falling away first,,

I was looking for news stories to find evidence of the work of the composite beast, like the recent changes in the abortion laws, or in Christian persecution around the world I had thought that the 42 months of Revelation 13 started in the summer of 2015. That triple tyrant from these may grow, Early may fly the Babylonian woe. Fined $55,000 for calling a male a male
Notice the article claims: "(This was put in place in 2015.) "If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes;
"If anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain.
"Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

Except there come a falling away first,, Found another one. I started watching these Virginian TV episodes from the sixties. Never even heard of them before. I'm trying to get through all 37 of them before the Apocalypse starts. They were a 90 minute weekly TV series. One had Charles Bronson, another Robert Redford and another with a ten year old Kurt Russell. Good films if you like horses. "May the Good Lord hold you in the hollow of His hand:

Great article on Dailywire. Snip: ERICKSON: The TruthAround 1,986 years ago, Jesus was crucified on a cross. No major historian disputes this. Much about Jesus is disputed, but there really is no dispute that Jesus was a real person and that he was crucified. We actually know more about Jesus than many Roman emperors and have more contemporaneous accounts of Jesus than of many other historic figures of the era. Historians in the early church documented that Jesus' brothers rejected him in life and would not even show up at his execution. But they became leaders in the early church. Two of Jesus' brothers (half-brothers, actually, or, as some denominations believe, first cousins) penned books of the Bible — James and Jude. Jude, in fact, made an extraordinary claim about his brother. He wrote, "Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe." He connects the man he knew as a relative directly to the eternal God who delivered the Israelites from captivity. Jude and James would both die at the hands of the Romans as the empire exterminated all of Jesus' relatives. But faith in Jesus grew. Like a tree being pruned, the church kept getting stronger and bearing more fruit. Two thousand years later, the church may seem like it is fading in the West, but it is growing around the world. The Council on Foreign Relations noted last year that "by some estimates, China is on track to have the world's largest population of Christians by 2030. ... China could have as many as 160 million Christians by 2025 and 247 million by 2030." About 30% of Protestants in China attend state-approved churches. The more the Chinese bulldoze churches and persecute believers the more the faith blossoms. Secular scholars offer plenty of explanations, but I accept the simplest of the explanations: It is all true. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, buried, descended into hell and rose again on the third day. He ascended into Heaven and will return to judge us. The Apostles' Creed sums it up nicely. www.dailywire.com/news/46230/erickson-truth-erick-erickson
