Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth… But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled. - Prov. 27:1 & 1 Peter 3:4
Dear fellow Christians,
Truly, we do not know what tomorrow may bring. Yet even though bad things happen, almost on a daily basis, we should be happy! We should not be afraid nor troubled of the unknown.
This is what I’ve been struggling with the last several months as I look at the world around me and see nefarious forces at work in this world striving against God and the Bible. (One example would be the word “God” being voted on to be removed from the Democratic National Convention! Who would want to get rid of God?)
Probably the hardest thing to deal with in these last days is the fear of tomorrow. I honestly don’t know what will happen in our country. So I find my greatest struggle is learning to be happy amidst an evil and uncertain world. This is a hard task, especially when so many things happen which are beyond our control.
SICKNESS
For over a month I’ve had a terrible ear infection and a cough. Hard as I tried, I couldn’t get over it. But I pressed on in spite of my affliction. It wasn’t till the end of October that we found out what was wrong with me and why.
SEPTIC TANK
Our septic tank filled so full that the gas was bubbling up into our house. I didn’t know this until I eventually smelled it getting worse in the bathroom. Turn’s out, that’s what made me sick. We eventually called a company to come and suck out the tank, and I received an amazing illustration from their work.
The septic man showed me that the tank was supposed to process the sewage, and clean it. What cleaned it? Water and Sun. The water flushed into the tank and the refuse was pushed into drains where it was absorbed into the ground. The Sun dried up the land around it so that the drain would work properly, and the system was supposed to be self-enclosed and able to cleanse itself and keep from overflowing.
Thinking on this, I got a great illustration. Men are like septic tanks. They are full of corruptness in their hearts, and if they don’t flush themselves with the water of the word (the Bible), and don’t rely upon the Son (Jesus), then they can become so overflowed with corruptness, that they just plum STINK!!! And not only will they get sick themselves, but their stench will make others sick as well! So, how about you? How clean is your heart?
SEEING THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING A WITNESS
Not only do we continually witness to others, which is so hard nowadays, as we find so many are hostile towards God, the Bible, and the Gospel, but we also pass out tracts on a regular basis in both English and Spanish.
Yet, probably the geatest lesson the Lord’s showed me over the last couple of years is the importance not only of witnessing, but of being a witness to others. Let me explain. There are many out there who claim to be Christians, and who claim to witness and win souls. But when you examine their lives, you find they are NOTHING like what they claim to be. They are often full of sinfulness, pride, envy, and covetousness. (They have a septic heart). They are Christians in name only, and if we can see this, then the lost world can certainly see it as well. That’s why not only is witnessing important, but so is being a witness yourself. You should show others Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Many Christians today put the emphasis only on the verbal witness, which is important, but they have no emphasis whatsoever on the daily witness of the Christian walk. This has led to a merciless, militant form of Christianity which shows forth NONE of the fruits of the Spirit. Rather it makes for believers who are critical, angry, condescending, and judgmental. But is this true Christianity? Certainly not! Jesus was our example, and so was the apostle Paul. Both of them had compassion, charity, and love. We should strive to practice the same. If only more Christians would get a hold of this!
SPANISH SCRIPTURES
As most of you know, I’ve studied the Spanish Bible Issue for many a year and I’ve come to the conclusion that the Spanish Bible, and the many different revisions of it, all have problems. I use the Valera 1602 Purified Spanish Bible, as it’s better than any other out there to date. My church is now working on revising it yet again to make it even better, and I’ve been asked to go through and compare it with the KJV. I’ve spent many a 10 to 12 hour day reading and rereading it, while also going through many different references of words to make sure they match the KJV as much as possible. I’ve also looked at all the other versions as well, like the modern Gomez Bible, which still has many problems. (One of which is Gomez using the word “erizo” or hedge hog in Isa. 34:11. Can you imagine?)
After studying it all, I decided to start translating the King James Bible myself into Spanish. Which I’m doing, and I’ve finished about twelve chapters of Genesis so far. What a blessing to reread that and see the Spanish Bible say what it should say! This is a long and tedious project, and I wish I could find some other Christians who would desire to undertake such a task to help. It would be awesome to have a Spanish Bible that read exactly with the King James Bible, while still retaining the old Castellan Spanish as much as possible! Know anyone who might want to help who speaks Spanish?
In the mean time, I’ll continue to help working on the Valera 1602 Purified Spanish Bible, and I ask for your prayers as we revise it and put it forward for printing. It’s still the best Spanish Bible available to date.
STUDY BOOK IN SPANISH
In September, I delivered to Creation Science Evangelism a Work Book, that I worked on translating into Spanish. As most of you know, Dr. Kent Hovind came down to Honduras in 2005, and we taped his presentation in English and Spanish. However, his English Study Work Book was never translated into Spanish, that is, until recently when someone worked on it but never finished. I was asked to revise what they had done and complete the task, which I did, and in September presented to them parts 1 through 5. (The videos for parts 6 and 7 are not yet finished, but when they are, I’ll work on them too). They said that people all over the world have been asking for this Spanish Study book, and after they print it, it will be distributed WORLD-WIDE! How exciting to be able to work on a project that will reach so many people with the truth of God as the Creator!
BIBLE SCHOOL
In Pensacola, Florida one October afternoon, I took my car in for repairs, and I was told it would take a few hours to complete. With nothing else to do, I walked up the road to the Pensacola Christian College and took a tour of the campus. I was pleasantly surprised with the area and atmosphere. It was like going back in time, as people were actually dressed like Christians. But what made me the most excited was talking with the men who gave me the tour. They, like myself, are very much against the modern “ask Jesus into your heart” gospel. They said they were even taught against that in their Evangelism classes. Rather, they believed that salvation was by “FAITH IN THE BLOOD!” (What a blessing that there are still those out there who haven’t changed, and still preach the Blood-Stained Gospel of Christ’s blood atonement!) They also said they were King James Only, which was a great blessing. It was a great encouragement to see there are others out there who haven’t changed their doctrines to go along with the times.
SCUTTLEBUTT FROM THE PHILIPPINES
I received an email in October from a brother in the Philippines who confided in me what he was going through. He’s a native Bible Believing Pastor who said that there is a great battle his homeland over the issue of salvation. He writes: “Just read your testimony and personal battle regarding sinner's prayer and just like you we are in the midst of real battle over here in the Phils. and over facebook not only with the false professions but also with Bible believers, hope we could have a communication. Blessings!”
I also spoke to an old friend and fellow Bible School graduate who was once a Missionary in the Philippines who told me the same thing. He said there were many who claimed to be “Bible Believers” in the Philippines, and even King James only, who had absolutely NO IDEA what salvation was, nor how to be saved, as they have been following the modern “BLOODLESS GOSPEL.” He said he stood up and tried to say something, and it ended up getting him tossed out of not only the country, but also their “fellowship” as well, as he was essentially “excommunicated” by the Baptist Mafia. What a shame! He said the thing that hurt him the most wasn’t their uncaring, hateful spirit towards him, but their lack of concern about the true Gospel of Christ and their desire to see people truly saved. All they cared about were their numbers and making sure their club or group enlarged itself.
My friend now lives in the states, and has a secular job, continually wanting to serve the Lord, but knowing that to do so he can’t be a part of a religious system that preaches “another Gospel.” Thus, by himself he witnesses and passes out tracts.
I mention this, as this story is all too common of what we are hearing from other Bible Believers. It appears the main fold of Christianity is being corrupted. Just like that old septic tank, they are overflowing with corruptness and it’s making others sick! They aren’t clean and cleansing others, rather than are spewing forth much contention which in turn hurts the cause of Christ, dividing it, rather than unifying it. What sad times we live in! Sadder still when I think that the forces of darkness are gaining by leaps and bounds, while those who have the truth are either diminishing or devouring each other more each day.
But that’s the spiritual battle of our age. Yet, there is also a physical battle in our world today, which shortly may unfold on a world-wide scale. It is an international battle by evil forces with who are wholly sold out to Satan, and who are fast at work trying to take over the world and enslave its populace to their maniacal system.
With this stated, I want to close this prayer letter with something I studied in the last couple of months that truly scares me.
THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM
I started this prayer letter with a verse about being happy, even though we live in times of “terror.” But, the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 1:18,“For in much wisdomis much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.” And certainly this is true, for the more you learn, the more depressed you become, as knowledge often brings you to a point of grief. It’s so very grievous to see the world we live in as it really is. The old saying is: “The truth hurts!” That’s about it.
With the attacks on our Consulate in Benghazi, it made me think of how hateful, cruel, and militant Islam really is. So I studied it the more and found some interesting and enlightening details about that false religion, as well as some shocking things about the culture and history of those involved in it.
First, I read an article put out by World Net Daily, in which an ancient text was found that tells who the supposed deity named “Allah” really is. The title of the article was: “1700 B.C.: 'Alla' god of 'violence and revolution.' ”
I quote the article: “A research article posted on the website of terrorist-turned-Christian Walid Shoebat contends the oldest known references to the Islamic deity Allah are not in Arabian records but in Babylonian artifacts. Ancient tablets describe ‘Alla’ as a deity of ‘violence and revolution…’ Theodore Shoebat said one of the early such references in the Epic of Atrahasis states: ‘Then Alla made his voice heard and spoke to the gods his brothers, Come! Let us carry Elil, the counselor of gods, the warrior from his dwelling.’ ”
Who does this sound like to you? Why, it sounds exactly like LUCIFER or Satan, who according to the Scriptures tried to get the angels (other gods) to rebel with him against God in order to try to dethrone him. That means the Islamic god Allah is none other than SATAN himself! No wonder Muslims who worship Allah are so violent and we see them in the world in many different countries pushing for revolution.
With this stated, it’s easy to see the difference between the true God, a god of love, and the false god Allah, a god of hate. And, as we look at Islam, we find it’s a diabolical religion full of depravity, anger, violence, and rage.
The word Islam means “submission.” And its ultimate goal is to make all the world submit to its political ideals. Islam practices Sharia law and in that system, beheadings are a common form of punishment. (As I read the book of Revelation, I often think that the many “beheadings” spoken therein could be done by Muslims who have taken over the world. This is possible as they are working hard at completing their goal of doing just that!)
As far fetched as this might sound, the truth is there is a global Muslim conspiracy to take over the world, and we are seeing them do it one country at a time with their uprisings, revolutions, and violent demonstrations.
We also find a rise in so-called “honor killings” among Muslims, in which they murder family members they deem as apostate or deviating from Sharia law. I even had a friend tell me the following story about when he was out street preaching, “I preached the Gospel and then just mentioned about how Islam doesn’t preach salvation, rather enslavement. When I finished, a Muslim from the Middle East came up to me and said, ‘If we were back in my home country of Saudi Arabia, I would CUT YOUR HEAD OFF!’ ” Truly Islam is a religion of pure malice.
I also witnessed to some soldiers who came back from Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and they told me how sickened they were to see such widespread child molestation by Muslims in foreign countries. They said that the common saying among the Muslim men was, “Women are for making babies, while little boys are for having fun.” How sick! How disgusting!
I even heard the most horrible story of all about an entire Muslim village in Saudi Arabia, where the men came to the United States Medical personnel there and complained that their wives couldn’t get pregnant and that for years none of them had given birth. When investigated, they found that the reason was because the village men were so perverted that for generations they’d been engaging only in homosexual acts on their wives and they didn’t even know the proper way to engage in sexual relations. When they were taught the biological way in which men and women make babies, the men became sick, most of them even saying things like, “What? That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard!” Can you imagine a generation so perverse and wicked? Romans chapter one explains them so well. They are beyond nature and call evil good and good evil! They are as bad as Sodom and Gomorrah. (As in the days of Lot!!!)
Why focus on such awfulness? It’s because we can’t help but see their numbers growing world-wide.
Muslims not only practice filthy habits, but they also practice the most gruesome thing of all --dismemberment on women with female circumcision, a brutal act of undeniable cruelty! I won’t go into this in detail, but a woman named Ann Barnhardt has a good four part exposé on Muslim practices and Islamic perverse societal customs on Youtube. It’s entitled: “Islamic Sexuality: A Survey of Evil!” It’s worth a watch. And, it will really open your eyes to what those people are really like, and the barbaric atrocities they do on others, especially women. There is no other word for it except truly “Satanic.” We need to pray for such people! And we need to pray for protection for ourselves from them.
If this all be true, then what do we have? We have a growing religion in our world full of people who worship Satan seeking diligently to expand their perverse religious by political means. And if the world continues on its current path, they will continue to gain power and most likely bring the entire world under their control. This is what bothers me the most. Yet I find I can’t dwell on it. I must press on and forget about it. But I can’t deny the facts of what might happen in this world very shortly. No longer can I sit back and say, “Well, whatever happens in this world it won’t affect me.”
For, it’s quite possible that if the Lord tarries, there just might even been another world-war, this time on our own shores; a religious war of Christianity vs. Islam, of morality vs. perversion, of freedom and a Free Market System vs. enslavement and Communism.
As I look at the world as it truly is, I can’t believe the rapture hasn’t happened yet! It’s getting worse and worse, and what bothers me most is that most Christians don’t recognize it’s happening. They want to believe the lie that everything is fine, nothing bad is on the horizon, that all people are inherently good, and there’s nothing to worry about. Yet the facts prove otherwise. Christianity is losing ground, while Islam, Satanism, and Communism are gaining. The world is a cess pool of evil, a septic tank of wickedness, if you will. And oh, how it must stink in the nostrils of God!
So now, more than ever I put my faith in God, and do my best to be happy, even though I find this to be more difficult everyday! I just pray for my country and for you all. Please pray with me.
If the Lord tarries, then perilous times will indeed come, and things will get even worse, and we will go through some terrible times. I pray that you are ready, and you will be able to stand in the day of adversity.
Truly evil abounds, but thankfully grace much more abounds! And even though we see two very different and distinct sides: one, full of charity and moral integrity, and the other of pure evil, full of perversion, hate, death, destruction, and barbaric cruelty, we know who wins in the end. It’s our Lord Jesus Christ!
Saddened but occupying until He comes,
