Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

MISUSING GOD'S NAME

Greg Laurie - Thursday, May 24, 2018

Misusing God's Name

  

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

—Philippians 2:10–11

Do you care about your name? 
Do you like it when people slander you or say things that are not true about you? Have you ever had that happen? I have. No one enjoys that. We want to protect our name. 

The Bible says a good name is better than riches (see Proverbs 22:1).
God cares about His name, too. The third of the Ten Commandments tells us, 

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain” (Exodus 20:7 NKJV).
How do people take the Lord’s name in vain? 

Obviously one way is profanity. 

I find it interesting how often people use the name of Jesus Christ this way. Even unbelievers, in their spiritually deadened state, know there is something different, something powerful about the name of Jesus Christ, even when they are misusing His name.

Another way people take His name in vain is when they say, “I swear to God.” Why do they say that? Maybe their word isn’t reliable, so they think they have to swear. Remember the phrase “a man’s word is his bond”? If someone said they would do something, it meant they would do it. 

How about when two people commit themselves to each other in marriage? 

How about honoring those vows? 

When we have to swear to God, it shows there’s something wrong. Our word should be enough.

I think the worst way to take God’s name in vain is when we say one thing and do another, which is hypocrisy. Jesus said, 

“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46 NKJV). 

The hypocrisy of the church is far worse than the profanity in the streets.

There's more than one way to take God's name in vain. Are you doing one of them?
