COMMANDMENT #5

"Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.” Deuteronomy 5:16. God the Father has commanded us to honor our parents. Why? Not because they are our parents only who have given birth to us, fed us, and taken care of us since we were babies, but more importantly that our days may be long and that we will receive an abundance of blessing from God the Father if we take care of our parents. God knows that many children dishonor, disrespect, and neglect their parents and treat them as their adversary. And so God made this commandment an important part of His commandments that He wants us to keep as long as our parents are still alive. That our days may be long, and that it may be well with us in the land which the LORD our God has given us. These are His promises to us. All of us will eventually grow old. As we grow older our physical abilities change. What we can easily do when we are 25 years of age, we have to struggle when we are 85 or 90 years old. Even walking is not so easy anymore. I saw a cardiologist a few days ago. I have a simple question that I ask her. Her immediate response was that I see my primary care doctor. I am confused. Doesn’t a cardiologist have to become a primary care doctor first before she becomes a cardiologist? Doesn’t she have to know how to treat an ordinary wound when she was doing her rotation in medical school? She sounded very defensive. I get frequent calls from my doctor’s office for referrals to other subspecialties, and I told them to leave me alone. I know how to make an appointment to see my primary care doctor. I want to rest, and not answer phones from hackers.
Readers, taking care of our elderly parents is God's will. Let me assure you that we can never go wrong if we do God’s will. We humans sometimes make the wrong decision.  But don’t worry too much. Why? Because God has already provided us a way to benefit from the mistakes that we make. That is how our God is!

GRACE IS NOT CHEAP

Readers, do you know that grace is not cheap? We have to earn it. We have to work very hard to earn grace from God. The apostle Paul says, “ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9. Paul doesn’t know that salvation is not a “gift” from God. We have to earn our salvation. We have to keep earning it until we die. Adam and Eve lost their salvation. Lucifer and millions of his angels lost their salvation. Why? Because salvation is not a gift. Grace is not a gift. We have to earn it. Even if we are already saved, God can take it back from us, grace and salvation, the whole package. God said, "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. "Because you say, `I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing' an...

CRAZIES

Readers, I want to share with you some of the crazy stories that I have recently heard from my daughter. Recently the hospital where she works mandated her to take care of mentally insane people. The hospital needs Registered Nurses to take care of crazy people because more and more crazy people are coming to the hospital where she works each day. If you read the Bible you can find stories about demon possessed people during Jesus’ time. The crazy people that my daughter is mandated to take care of are not demon possessed . They are Bible possessed . I am serious! NO , I am not kidding, and I am not crazy either! Here is what I meant. There is a text in the Bible. Do you know what that is? Here it is, please remember and don’t ever forget! “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” Romans 6:14. This verse is a lethal poison ! Millions of Christians are living in s in today. God the Father does not want us to live in sin! Do not trust anyon...

NO SAVING POWER IN JESUS' DEATH

Today I want to write something to clear up the confusion of millions of Christians. Enough confusion for centuries! People from the Pope, Martin Luther, down to our preacher, Sabbath school, Sunday school, and kindergarten teacher have been brainwashing our heads and misled us to believe that there is saving power in Jesus’ death . No, there is none , Bro ! The saving power is not in Jesus' death. The true saving power is when we repent . Jesus can die thousands of times, but if we don't repent we all will end up in hell . Jesus said, “I have not come to call [the] righteous, but sinners, to repentance ." Luke 5:32. "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. " Luke 13:5. Jesus can die 1,000 times or more, but if we don't repent, His death has no value! If we don't repent, we will all perish regardless of how many times Jesus has died for us. His death will not save us unless we repent ! Satan wants us to believe that Jesus...
