Today's devotional reading for:
Thursday, Oct 31, 2019 Don’t Get the Buggy Before the Horse
“For by grace you have been saved through faith…not of works…For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works…”
— Ephesians 2:8-10
Suppose that you lived in the country 100 years ago, when horses and buggies were common.
One day you came into the city and discovered that most people were putting the buggy in front of the horse and saying, “Giddy-ap, horse.
Push, push,” and somehow they couldn’t get the horse to push the buggy at all.
You would think to yourself, “How incredibly stupid can these city folk be?”
And you would be right.
Yet the vast majority of people in America today have the Gospel just that backwards.
The Bible contains two basic elements, like a horse and buggy.
It contains the law and the Gospel, and unless we get these in the proper relationship it never will work.
The proper relationship between the two—as taught by the early church and by Augustine—is the great rediscovery that Martin Luther made and proclaimed to the world on October 31, 1517.
It has dramatically changed the world.
D.T. Niles said that in all other religions, good works are “in order to,” whereas, in Christianity, good works are, “therefore.” We’re not saved by good works.
But when we’re truly saved, good works will naturally follow.
Even in the Ten Commandments, God said, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.”
Therefore, He decrees, “…you shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:2 3).
Having first been brought up and brought into God, therefore, we do good works.
Lord, You are our righteousness. Thank You for raising up people throughout the centuries who shine the light on the true Gospel for all to see. Thank You for the clarity of salvation by faith, with works of gratitude to follow…
BY GOD’S STRENGTH, HE SAVES US.
IN HIS STRENGTH WE DO GOOD WORKS.  | ||||||

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.
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!
