Multi Award Winning Florida Christian Author Donna Louis Announces New Release, 'Book Of Proverbs, Wisdom VS Wilderness'

Donna Louis' new book centers on the wisdom found in the Book of Proverbs.

Multi-award winning author Donna Louis has announced the release of her latest book, 'Book Of Proverbs, Wisdom vs Wilderness'. 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs. Wilderness' delves deeply into the timeless human quest for wisdom. As all Christians know, the primary purpose of the Biblical Book of Proverbs is to teach wisdom. The Book of Proverbs provides intellectual depth, insights and exceptional wisdom on how to live a meaningful, joyful and tranquil life by honoring and respecting God as omnipotent.

The new release discusses all chapters in Proverbs 1-31 and brings insight, clarity, and basic meaning to several verses in each chapter. It clarifies why wisdom is not only essential, but mandatory in life, if one hopes to live a blessed life, versus living destitute, empty, or feeling lost or hopeless.

"This book has been a labor of love," Louis stated, "because The Holy Spirit spoke to me about writing this book a while ago. We all have been endowed with a gift at birth by God, along with knowledge and intelligence, but for all of them to take shape and mold our lives for greatness we need to have wisdom."

Tim Fargo said, 'Intelligence is knowing the right answer, Wisdom is knowing when to say it.' Billy Graham said, 'Knowledge is horizontal, Wisdom is vertical, it comes down from above."

Louis was recently chosen as the winner in the 2018 Top Female Author Awards in the Religion/Philosophy/Spiritual category. Louis was chosen from an international field of contestants by a panel of judges. She was also a recent winner in the 2018 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards.

Louis' recent wins follow three awards in the 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards contest (2015, 2016 and 2017), and two nominations in the Top Female Authors Awards.

Donna Louis' first book, 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' helps readers explore miracles both past and present. The book explores biblical miracles that took place while Jesus was here on earth. She then references with miracles that take place on a daily basis in the modern world. She separates these miracles into four categories and presents insightful examples of each type, taken directly from the Bible.

Louis knows her subject well, as she has personally experienced four miracles. As the result of those life-altering experiences, she began an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. In her book, she attempts to expand upon and explain both the purpose and the direction of those miracles.

'Miracles' has received rave reviews from readers. One review called it "amazing, uplifting and inspirational". Another stated, "I was profoundly impressed by the writing."

Donna Louis is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at donnalouisgodsmessenger@aol.com. More information is available at her website. Both books are available at online retail book outlets. More information is available at her website at http://www.miraclebook.net.

The Sin Unto Death Interpretation Offered By Calvinism's Once Saved Always Saved Teachers Is A License To Sin Says EOMIN.org Evangelical Outreach Director Dan Corner

Corner is a Christian author, former Pastor, defender of the Christian faith and evangelist who has had over four decades of experience dealing with the Bible.

One of the core ideas presented on the Evangelical Outreach website is that Eternal Security (Once Saved Always Saved) teachings are deceptive. Backsliders must repent of sin for salvation, and no longer possess eternal life. Thus backsliders must become alive again from a dead and lost spiritual condition through sincere repentance.

The version of the Sin Unto Death offered by Calvinism's Once Saved Always Saved teachers is very dangerous. Dan Corner, Director of Evangelical Outreach, offers Biblical references to prove that the interpretations offered by Eternal Security teachers from gotquestions.org to gty.org are false. He recently had this to say.

The counterfeit sin unto death interpretation given by the eternal security teachers (also known as Once Saved Always Saved teachers) explicitly reveals their license to sin doctrine for what it truly is. That truth is important to know because you will probably never hear any eternal security teacher admit that their doctrine really is a license for immorality. In fact, they often flatly deny this charge sometimes to the point of yelling slander. However, there are still various ways these people teach this very license for immorality although they hate to be recognized as so doing; one such example is their distorted version of the sin unto death. The apostle John wrote of sin leading to death here:

If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death (1 John 5:16,17).

Clearly, there is sin unto death. Whatever the type of death, it is not explicitly identified in 1 John 5:16-17. While it is an undeniable truth that God gets so angry over sin that he consequently kills people, there is yet another truth related to the sin unto death that the eternal security teachers vehemently deny; they deny that sin can indeed bring a Christian to his SPIRITUAL death. Hence, just like Adam and Eve who died spiritually as a result of their sin, just as God had warned would happen (Gen. 2:17), Christians can also suffer the same lethal consequence. God did not kill Adam and Eve physically, but Adam and Eve did die spiritually. For them, it was a sin unto death in a spiritual sense.

From the eternal security perspective, when a person once saved dies physically, he always goes to heaven no matter what. According to their position, how such people are living at the point of death is inconsequential, even if God would kill them physically because of their unrepentant heinous sins. This teaching clearly spells out a license for immorality, and such is their poisonous understanding of the sin unto death. Please note what deceased Dave Hunt taught in his comments on the 1 Cor. 11 passage about the sin unto death:

"For this cause, some of you are weak and sickly and some of you sleep; some of you died because God has brought judgment upon you for the way you have conducted yourselves and so forth. So I think what he's saying is, there are some sins that are so heinous, and not only heinous, but perhaps - I think it depends upon the position that a person has - that brings reproach upon Christ, and God takes them home for that." [Radio show 0121.]

The word “heinous” is defined as "utterly reprehensible or evil." Question for all other eternal security proponents: What kind of punishment is it for God to kill a person, because of his unrepentant heinous sins, to take him out of this painful cursed unjust sin-filled world and send him to a beautiful paradise full of joy, peace, love, truth, righteousness, etc.?

For Paul, to live was Christ and to die was gain and better by far (Phil. 1:21-23); nonetheless, the eternal security "blind guides" want us to believe that we can live for self, heinous sin and the devil and then gain Paradise even when we persist and die in those sins! Hence, death for such unrepentant sinners is not really a punishment at all, but a blessing and gain as a reward for their hatred of God (manifested by their disobedience) and their love of wickedness.

Again, according to Once Saved Always Saved doctrine, one can therefore backslide into heinous sin and wickedness, remain and continue in such rebellion, even after God’s discipline, and still get blessed when God TAKES THE STUBBORN UNREPENTANT SINNER TO HEAVEN after striking him dead in his holy wrath and anger! Dear reader, can you really force yourself to believe such a religious fairy tale? If you ponder the horrible, but logical, conclusion produced by the eternal security teachers, you will have to agree that their version of the sin unto death is nothing more than a deadly, religious myth yielding an extreme opportunity to live in the wildest rebellion to God - a definite license for sin.

Similarly, the D. James Kennedy's message [D. James Kennedy, Can A Christian Fall From Grace? (Ft. Lauderdale FL: Coral Ridge Ministries), pp. 14, 15] comes through loud and clear regarding his so-called doctrines of grace. In relaying his message, Kennedy is indirectly saying that Christian adulterers actually do exist. In contrast to this deadly doctrinal myth, the Bible speaks of only one type of adulterer, and such is always shown as one who will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9,10; Eph. 5:5-7), but instead is destined for the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8), unless he repents. But the eternal security teachers don't want to believe that a backslider must repent for salvation sake; instead, they claim he will still gain heaven and escape hell in his unrepentant adultery or other heinous sins, all because he was once saved! How God must hate this ear-tickling deadly lie, which has deceived multitudes. At times, D. James Kennedy's Calvinism will have him declare that the elect will invariably persevere and endure in holiness to the very end, but then he turns right back around and blatantly teaches his sin unto death yarn. Doesn't D. James Kennedy realize that dying in unrepentant adultery is not enduring to the end in holiness? Clearly, Eternal Security is a doctrine of demons, which Christians must oppose!

Dear eternal security proponent, do not let yourself be deceived by the popular teachers of our hour or from yesteryear who have changed grace into a license for immorality, as just proven. This dangerous religious subterfuge should now be apparent especially after considering what both types of eternal security teachers have said about their false version of the sin unto death. Their deadly version of grace, with their sin unto death interpretation, allows all forms of unrepentant wickedness for those that were ever regenerated (born again).

Furthermore, the true Christian is clearly called by the term "saint", which means holy one. Since sin can make a holy person unholy again (1 Tim. 5:22; Rev. 3:4; etc.), and therefore, unfit for an entrance into the kingdom of God (Mt. 5:8; Heb. 12:14; Rom. 6:22; etc.), then these eternal security teachers are dangerously downplaying the effects of sin in the life of a Christian. Souls are at risk because of these fables, including this sin unto death myth.

Spiritual reality dictates that a true Christian can sin in such a way as to bring him back into spiritual death, thereby endangering him once again to the lake of fire (James 1:14-16; 5:19,20; Luke 15:24,32; Gal. 5:19-21; 6:8,9; Rom. 6:16; 8:13; Rev. 2:10,11; etc.). This sequence of events is the real sin unto death, as mentioned by the Apostle John. Moreover, if God in his holy wrath strikes someone dead due to unrepentant adultery, such a person will not go to heaven, but to hell, with all the other God haters as demonstrated in Hebrews 10:26-27; by the way, according to the Bible, the God haters are the disobedient as Jesus said that love for him is obedience to his commands. To reiterate, adulterers do not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9-10). This fact was basic knowledge in first century Christianity, although popularly denied in our dark day by those who maintain their security-in-sin gospel and license for immorality.

What happened to Adam and Eve when they sinned (and consequently died spiritually) is a true example of the sin unto death. Similarly, the prodigal became "dead" and lost (Lk. 15:24) as a backslider in his sins. He too exemplifies the real meaning of the sin unto death. Moreover, because the prodigal got forgiven upon repentance, his example conclusively answers the sin unto death vs. the unpardonable sin question! These two types of sin are NOT the same. The sin unto death can get forgiven, while the unpardonable sin cannot.

Sins that cause the sin unto death (or spiritual death) are the ones listed in 1 Cor. 6:9,10; Eph. 5:5-7; Rev. 21:8 and other such listings which will exclude one from inheriting the kingdom of God. Lesser sins, such as worry or unthankfulness, are not sins unto death (that is, they do not lead to spiritual death, putting one back on the road to hell).

Dear reader, if you think you can live in heinous sin, as all eternal security teachers want you to believe, and still remain on the road to heaven, you have been dangerously deceived. You must repent (turn from sin) or you will find yourself being thrown into the lake of fire in the end. You are not merely jeopardizing your physical life, rewards, position in the kingdom, etc. as they claim, but it is your very SOUL that is being endangered and jeopardized. Do not be deceived by their distorted version of the sin unto death or anything else these false teachers say which allows for wickedness and salvation at the same time.

Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil .... (1 John 3:7-8)

Eternal Security is an extreme license to sin and nothing better. Be warned and God bless you. More information is available at the Evangelical Outreach site.

Fathers Day - Unique And Original Men's Necklaces Are A Perfect Father's Day Gift That Dad Will Cherish Forever

B.BéNI is a New England based inspirational jewelry company that offers men's necklaces, B.BéNI offers a wide selection of jewelry including bracelets, necklaces, sterling silver, earrings and Christian jewelry that will touch the heart, yet be fabulous and chic enough to really rock

It is almost that time of year again, Father's Day. Barbecues, picnics, swimming, giving gifts to the special men in our lives. Father's Day is a day when fathers are recognized for encouraging, empowering, providing and protecting. Some believe Father's Day is a commercialized day made up by the greeting card companies. That's not really true.

Father's Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas. Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there. Then, in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.

Of course, as Father's Day approaches, so does the mad rush to select the perfect gift for that (or those) special men in your life. Why not consider a special gift that Dad will cherish forever? A piece of unique keepsake jewelry like a cross necklace is always a great choice. Christian Jewelry, especially a cross necklace, is a wonderful choice for a man of faith, something that represents their beliefs and can be worn for many years to come.

B.BéNI Jewelry has a huge selection of inspirational jewelry, especially meaningful necklaces for that special man in your life. Each finely crafted piece of Christian jewelry features a passage from the Bible, and these comforting and inspirational words of Scripture provide comfort and encouragement for all men of faith, serving as a constant reminder of God's spiritual presence. Men's religious jewelry is a thoughtful gift for Father's Day or a birthday.

Taking it a step further, since Father's Day is a day when fathers are recognized for encouraging, empowering, providing and protecting, why not give your man a Christian necklace that honors our Father in heaven, who is the ultimate protector, encourager and provider? What special meaning there is in a piece of men's jewelry, such as a Christian cross necklace that your husband, boyfriend or father will enjoy and wear for years. The full selection is available at the B.BéNI site at https://bbeni.com/collections/men-s-jewelry.

In addition to men's necklaces, B.BéNI offers a wide selection of jewelry including bracelets, necklaces, sterling silver, earrings, Christian jewelry and more.

About B.BéNI:

B.BéNI is a New England based inspirational jewelry company that is dedicated to providing customers with meaningful pieces of jewelry that will touch the heart and ignite one's faith.

The Old World style pendants, charms and components are their own original designs starting from a simple sketch to a CAD design and then to a solid model. A cast piece is then made from the solid model. A lot of energy and love go into each piece, crafted in the state of Rhode Island, the jewelry capital of the USA.

The metals, finishes, findings, clasps, gemstones & crystals are of the highest quality available. Each order is hand-assembled with great care. The name B.BéNI has meaning. Béni is the French word for blessed so we are saying "Be Blessed." Fashion, Faith and Quality - not necessarily in that order - is what they are all about.

New Film About School Shootings, 'Lock Down' By Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Takes Industry Award

Dr. Holstein, positive psychologist, author, filmmaker, developer of The Enchanted Self and now 'The Selfie Project' is taking on serious society issues at every level by raising the consciousness of all of us on a variety of topics.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein's films have received a huge number of industry awards. She recently announced that her latest and most powerful film about school shootings, 'Lock Down', took Honorable Mention in the Los Angeles Independent Shorts Awards for Best Children's Short and Best Trailer/Teaser. The trailer is available at http://www.enchantedself.com. Special versions of the full film are available to educators and media.

What is on the minds of kids today, creating tremendous anxiety and worse reactions, are the lock downs in our schools. Kids are now faced on a daily basis with the possibility of an active shooter in their school. 'Lock Down' dramatically illustrates the fear and anxiety that kids deal with. 'Lock Down' was produced to generate conversation and spur action to make 'Lock Downs' eventually unnecessary.

Lock downs are one of the most pressing mental health problems American society faces. A recent article in the New York Times entitled 'Fight if You Must: Students Take a Front-Line Role in School Shootings' perfectly summed this problem up in a single, perfectly written paragraph - "Drills for what to do during a shooting have become routine in schools across the nation, in some cases for children as young as in kindergarten. Most students have not been taught to directly confront shooting suspects, but rather to focus on what they must do to remain safe. Some young people, however, appear to have closely followed past massacres and concluded that they cannot wait for a teacher or security officer to protect them."

Dr. Holstein's Selfie drama films help us, no matter what our ages, process coming of age issues from bullying to falling in love. Often the audience is left sighing and laughing at the wonderment of making it to adulthood. 'The Selfie Project' takes on serious issues that kids face and brings together kids in a documentary fashion, after making their own selfies about problems in their lives, to talk with each other and experts.

According to an industry study, over 60 million households identify as "podcast fans", listening to an average of 7 shows per week. In addition, Youtube now garners more views than all the major television networks combined. For this reason, Dr. Holstein has made her video and audio podcasts a centerpiece of her outreach program. She engages with both experts and kids as guests on critical subjects. The full schedule of podcasts is available at http://www.enchantedself.com.

"I am making my latest film 'Lock Down' available to parents and educators at the same time it will be entered in film festivals," Dr. Holstein stated. "We have no time to waste in dealing with the safety of our kids, physically and emotionally. I hope 'Lock Down' will help generate the type of compassionate concern and connection that moves us as a society to thoughtful and timely solutions."

Holstein's short films have won numerous awards and accolades.

Jane Austen Literary Tour Series Now Available From Donna Fletcher Crow, Award Winning Author Of British Historical Novels

Crow writes meticulously researched, entertaining novels of romance, history and mystery in an engaging you-are-there style that allows readers to live the history.

Literary tours led by authors are something of a travel industry standard and can bring great new insights to a trip. But have you ever been offered a literary tour led by an author who’s been dead for more than 200 years?

That’s what award winning author Donna Fletcher Crow undertook on her most recent research trip. She invites readers to come along (via a series of articles posted on her website). In the new series, she will relate her experiences in regards to visiting Jane Austen's favorite (and sometimes not-so-favorite) seaside resorts across the breadth of England. The sites in the new series will include, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Sidmouth, Lyme Regis, Southampton, Portsmouth, Bognor Regis, Worthing, Brighton, Ramsgate, and Chawton

Crow explains: “The Austen family was on the cutting edge of tourism in the 18th century as visitors flocked to the latest newly developed resort, seeking the healthful benefits of sea-bathing (in the coldest water possible and often in the nude) and the gaiety of social life in the assembly rooms, libraries, theatres, and shops each new spa offered.

“Visiting those sites today guided by Austen’s letters, published novels and her unfinished work Sanditon, which parodies just such promotion schemes, gave my tour a fascinating mix of history and modernity which I hope to share with my readers in my articles and my next book.”

The first article in the Jane Austen series is available on Crow's website at https://donnafletchercrow.com/p/356/A-Seaside-Tour-with-Jane-Austen. This is an overview of the itinerary. Each site will then be visited in depth on succeeding weeks.

Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 45 books, mostly novels of British history. The award-winning 'Glastonbury' is her best-known work, which received the prestigious First Place, Historical Novel, award from the National Federation of Press Women. Readers and reviewers have raved about 'Glastonbury', calling it "The best of its kind," "richly fascinating," "beautifully researched,", "gloriously evocative," and "panoramic." One Amazon reader said, "WHAT a work! Every reader can be enveloped in the sheer scope and quality, every historian be constantly nodding at the precise detail and accuracy, and every Christian can rejoice in the fullness of scripture. For me it is simply beyond descriptive praise. I would urge all who value truth to treat themselves to a feast."

The Lord Danvers Victorian true-crime series is an Amazon bestseller in the British Detectives category. Books in the series include 'A Lethal Spectre', 'A Most Inconvenient Death', 'Grave Matters', 'To Dust You Shall Return' and 'A Tincture of Murder'. Donna provides a no-charge download of 'A Tincture of Murder' for those who sign up for her newsletter. More information is available at her website.

The Monastery Murder Series features atmospheric contemporary crimes with their roots buried deep in the middle ages. Books in the series include 'A Very Private Grave', 'A Darkly Hidden Truth', 'An Unholy Communion', 'A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary' and 'An All-Consuming Fire'.

The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries is a literary suspense series using literary figures as background: Rudyard Kipling in 'The Flame Ignites', Dorothy L Sayers in 'The Shadow of Reality', Shakespeare in 'A Midsummer Eve's Nightmare', and Jane Austen in both 'A Jane Austen Encounter' and 'A Most Singular Venture'. The seaside visits featured in these tour articles will provide the background for the next Jane Austen book in the Elizabeth and Richard Literary Suspense series.

The Daughters of Courage, 'Kathryn', 'Elizabeth' and 'Stephanie' is a pioneer family saga based on the stories of Crow's own family and other Idaho pioneers in the Kuna, Nampa and Boise area.

Donna Fletcher Crow's work has received a number of high-level industry honors. These include:

A Lethal Spectre Pinnacle Achievement Award: Mystery, 2019
Glastonbury, First Place, Historical Fiction, National Federation of Press Women Award of Merit
The Banks of the Boyne, Silver Angel; First Place Historical Fiction, National Federation Press Women
The Fields of Bannockburn, First Place Historical Fiction, National Federation Press Women
Professional Achievement Award, Northwest Nazarene College
Juvenile Books Award of Merit, Idaho Press Women

Pacesetter Award, Mt. Hermon Writers Conference
Outstanding Historical Fiction, Idaho Press Women, National Federation of Press Women,
Idaho Writer of the Year

Millions Expected Homeless Or Dead By Mega-Quake May 20, 2019 Says Dr. Richard Ruhling

Dr. Richard Ruhling is an expert on Biblical prophecy and is also the author of 'The Alpha & Omega Bible Code'

Dr. Richard Ruhling believes we may see a major earthquake on the West Coast on May 20, 2019. His path to this conclusion is based on Biblical prophecy and current events. Dr. Ruhling lays out the evidence as follows:

According to the San Diego Union Tribune, “As many as 75 state, local and federal agencies held a four-day drill last May on how to receive a massive number of evacuees from populated areas such as San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, that sit along the San Andreas fault.”

Seismologists cited by the LA Times have estimated the risk of a major earthquake at 85-99% over a period of several years (10-22-15)

The Bible has three reasons for serious events in 2019. Early Christians understood Christ’s warning to flee Jerusalem when they saw the Roman army under Cestius in 66 AD, 3 1/2 years before Titus’ siege.

The pope came to Congress 3 1/2 years ago ‘standing where he ought not’ in Mark 13:14 The pope wants laws suggested by Laudato Si’ that favor business closure on Sunday to cut green house gases and encourage people to attend the Eucharist. Nevertheless, “Congress shall make no laws respecting the establishment of religion.”

We may not see the Roman army like Titus 3 1/2 years after Cestius, but what mean the 1.4 mile-long trainload of tanks near Sacramento? https://youtu.be/q3eh2qhibRE

The Bible says, “when they shall say, ‘Peace and safety,’ sudden destruction comes.” The pope’s peace and brotherhood with Muslims in February and the presidents Peace Plan for Palestinians this week is 'peace and safety' that suggests “the day of the Lord” that is linked to an earthquake, 1Thess 5:2,3; Isaiah 2:12,21.

The third reason for 2019 is May 19. In 1780, it was so dark at noon in New England that people needed lamps to eat or read. Many thought it was “the day of the Lord” foretold in Joel 2 that is linked to an earthquake in verses 10,11.

The ‘Dark Day’ repeated 200 years later when Mt St Helens erupted (earthquake) Winds put ash over three states on May 19, 1980. Was God marking May 19?

This year May 19/20 is the start of 2nd Passover as clued in Christ’s last parables. ‘As the days of Noah,’ the Flood came with Passover timing, but in the 2nd spring month.

The next parable begins ‘Then shall two be in the field...’Then means the same time as the Flood--2nd Passover, like in Egypt when they prayed God would pass over them in judgment.

When five women missed the wedding, Christ said, Watch, a clue for Passover as the only night that being awake was required.

“You don't know the day or hour” is a bad translation of a Hebraic figure of speech as explained here.

Christ told his disciples they didn’t understand because it’s like a man traveling to a far country. Matthew 25:13,14.

If Israelites took a long trip and couldn’t get back for Passover, they were to keep it a month later as provided in their 9-11 law, Numbers 9:10,11 “Till heaven and earth pass” that law is still in effect, Matthew 5:18.

Because the papal (Gregorian) calendar has no relationship between new moons and new months, May 19 falls by coincidence on 2nd Passover once every 30 years. This marks 2019 year as special, coinciding with Christ’s last 6 parables for 2nd Passover.

Whether one believes in a pre-tribulation rapture or not, the night, May 19/20, is a time to watch and pray.

Christians who hope to be the “Bride of Christ” must also watch and pray on the night of May 19/20. The wedding parables show a sudden calamity beyond which it is too late to be part of the wedding.

The sudden calamity is seen as the cry at midnight in Matthew 25:6. The Rule of 1st Use shows the cry at midnight as when calamity fell on Egypt in Exodus 12:29,30.

The “remnant” get their city burned in Matthew 22:6,7, King James Bible. That’s the sudden event beyond which there is no time to get ready for a man who is thrown out for no wedding garment. He represents preachers who didn’t prepare their members.

Preachers are “blind and naked” in Rev 3:17, a message to the aggelos--messenger of the church. The passage is badly translated as ‘To the angel of the church’ in verse 14. Angels aren’t blind or naked, but most pastors don’t see the wedding message.

For more information readers may get a no-charge book on May 15,2019 - '9-11: How 9-11 Links in Christ’s Last Parables Show How End-Times Begin' at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZLF7LS . Dr. Ruhling is available for media interviews and can be contacted at ruhling7@juno.com.

About Dr. Richard Ruhling:

Dr. Richard Ruhling attended a Bible college with a Religion major. The end times have been a special interest for him since attending a prophecy conference 30 years ago. He is an expert on Biblical prophecy and the author of 'The Alpha & Omega Bible Code', 'The Earthquake & the 7 Seals'

Special Needs Kids And Bullying - Award-Winning Author Of Book About Angels, Jody Sharpe, Announces New Video, Issues Statement About Bullying

Sharpe's books are riveting inspirational thrillers written in honor of her daughter Kate and her husband Steve.

While we perhaps think about kids and bullying frequently today, we seldom think about how bullying affects special needs kids specifically.

Author Jody Sharpe is a retired special needs educator and is the author of the recently released novel 'Town Of Angels', a book that centers on the issue of bullying in a town in which angels are in residence. Thus she is uniquely qualified to discuss both subjects. She recently issued a statement on her website, which reads in part:

"When I first started teaching Special Education years ago, I learned a valuable lesson about bullying. For bullying can come from anyone, child or adult. I taught students that were labeled 'Mentally Retarded' but they weren’t 'retarded' at all. These eleven to thirteen year old students were socio-economically deprived. The materials were scarce and I had to use my creativity and own materials to teach them reading.

"The first week I taught reading I would call on them to read. I was shocked when one boy named Michael got up and stuttered with the words. He didn’t normally stutter when he spoke. Some of the kids laughed. I realized then he had been bullied by students or perhaps even a teacher and calling on him to read made him stutter and anxious.

"For the rest of my career I always asked first, 'Who would like to read?' Michael taught me a very valuable lesson. I learned to respect and honor the students, being sensitive to their needs and character."

In another entry she wrote, "Our children must learn to find courage so they are able to handle bullying. Teaching children to find courage is one of the most important lessons a parent and educator can do. Remember a time when you were bullied? I do. And yet those times were lessons weren’t they? I’ve heard it said that the bully is a teacher of sorts. Bullies are really teaching us how not to be like them. Finding a place in our hearts where courage lies fills us with triumph. Just as the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz found the courage he so desperately sought, adults and children alike can find their own way to courage. For courage was always there inside the Lion’s heart."

The full text of both statements is available at Sharpe's website at http://www.jodysharpe.com.

Jody Sharpe is an award winning author of several books about angels. She recently announced that her latest book, 'Town Of Angels', is now available in both print and e-book format, and is also available in print from online and traditional booksellers. In addition, the book is now featured in a new video available at her site.

In 'Town Of Angels' it is angel vs. bully in the town of Mystic Bay, California, where a well kept secret lies. Angels live as humans there. After angels appeared to three children all was blissful in the town full of psychics, and ordinary folk. But as a bully, Klaus Waxman, comes to town, Angel Ken Leighton, a storeowner, must carefully guide his flock of humans not to give to in to the bully’s efforts. As Klaus opens a store mocking the resident angels sightings, Angel Ken guides psychic Justine Greer and her family to thwart his efforts. And with the help of the indomitable oldest psychic in town, Madam Norma, the bully meets his match with soft voices and intuitive minds…

Reviewers have given the new book the highest ratings. One reviewer stated that Town Of Angels ". . .is a superbly written feel good book. Jody Sharpe has written one of the best books I have ever read." Another said, "If you want to feel refreshed about the possibilities of hope and kindness around us, this is for you." Another stated, "I love angels and truly believe that they exist. I found that this book to be an excellent book and is the kind of book that you do not want to put down."

Sharpe presents stories and interviews about angels in her 'Tuesdays With The Angels' blog series. In addition she is now accepting submissions of angel stories for possible inclusion on her 'Tuesdays With The Angels' blog. She hopes to create a collection of angel stories that involve sightings of angels, interaction with angels, miraculous angel encounters and other types of accounts or stories. All submissions will be considered, but inclusion is not guaranteed. Stories may be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd.

Jody Sharpe knows angels exist. Her first book, ‘The Angel's Daughter’, was written in memory of her daughter Kate. Her second book, 'To Catch An Angel', was written in memory of her husband Steve.

Over a decade ago, when her daughter died tragically Sharpe faced down the most difficult challenge of her life. She was determined not to just merely survive, but to live; to honor the life of her beloved daughter, her twins, her husband and the rest of the rich life she had created before the tragedy. Blessed with an inherently positive outlook these trying times were strengthened by influences from the late Norman Vincent Peale to the children's book character, Wilbur the pig. For Sharpe, ministers of spirit and guidance took the form of angels. Sharpe's openness to change led her to write her first novel, 'The Angel's Daughter'. The story that takes place in the fictitious town of Mystic Bay, California and encompasses all Sharpe's attitudes about goodness, healing and moving on.

Jody is also the author of 'To Catch An Angel', written in memory of her late husband Steve. In 'To Catch An Angel', miracles happen in Mystic Bay, California, the town with the psychic and angel vibe. Angels are calling. Psychic Maggie Malone returns home to find she's swept up in the miracle of it all. She can't imagine why her mother left or who her father might be. But these questions pale in comparison to the wonder of the angels. Maggie meets writer, Noah Greenstreet. They realize they've met before, but where? Maggie and Noah embark on a journey to find our world is all awash with angels.

Jody was chosen as a winner in the annual '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Book Awards. She was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.

Jody Sharpe is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at sharpejody76@gmail.com. Angel stories can be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd. All of her books are available at online book retailers. New quotes will be added every Tuesday to the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section of her blog, which can be found at her website at http://www.JodySharpe.com.

Profile:

Jody Sharpe had a rewarding career as a Special Education teacher. Writing about angels became healing after losing her daughter and then her husband. The valuable lessons she learned about moving forward and loving life in the now have set her on a mission to tell the stories with love, humor and spiritual awakening. The fictitious town of Mystic Bay has given her an avenue to put characters and themes together hopefully enlightening the reader towards contemplation of the precious life and memories we are given.

Dark Days On May 19, 1780 And 1980 Signal US Judgment On May 19 For 10 Reasons According To Dr. Richard Ruhling, Biblical Prophecy Expert

Dr. Richard Ruhling is an expert on Biblical prophecy and is also the author of 'The Alpha & Omega Bible Code'

Author and Biblical prophecy expert Richard Ruhling believes May 19 holds significance for Christians worldwide. He offers 10 compelling reasons why this is so. According to Ruhling:

May 19, 1780 was a historic “Dark Day”. Pioneers in New England couldn’t eat or read without lamps at noon. Many believed it signaled “the day of the Lord” foretold in Joel 2.

May 19, 1980 was also a dark day anniversary 200 years later when Mt St Helens erupted the day before. Wind took ash to darken three states in northwest on May 19. Was God marking May 19?

Reason One. May 19 this year is expected to be huge because “the day of the Lord comes as a thief…when they shall say ‘Peace and safety,’ sudden destruction comes.” 1Thessalonians 5:2,3. The pope’s peace talks between Catholics and Muslims in February fits St. Paul’s prophecy.

Reason Two. President Trump’s Peace Plan announcement on May 15 is also peace and safety with biblical timing. May 15 is the 10th day counting from the new moon crescent. It’s the date a sacrifice was chosen for Passover/ judgment, Exod 12:2,3. This 2nd month is clued by Christ’s last six parables, explained in the next six reasons:

Reason Three. “As the days of Noah,” the Flood came with Passover timing (time of judgment) but in the 2nd spring month. Noah entered the ark on the 10th day. When people refused Noah’s invitation, they selected themselves for sacrifice. Failure to see parallel signs and act biblically will mean trouble as events unfold. Joel Skousen’s book, 'Strategic Relocation', (out of cities) is an example.

A similar warning by Christ to flee applies now. “When you see the abomination … standing where it ought not,” Mark 13:14. Early believers understood the warning as applying to Rome, and when the Roman army under Cestius came in 66 AD, Christians fled Jerusalem and were spared the siege when Titus came 3 1/2 years later at Passover.

May 19 is also Passover for reasons shown in 9-11. Numbers 9:10,11 provides for Passover as a time of judgment a month later “as the days of Noah” and other parables by Christ.

Like the Roman army in 66 AD coming 3 1/2 years before Titus, Pope Francis came to US Congress 3 1/2 years ago and the 1.4 mile-long train with tanks designed for urban warfare seen recently near Sacramento https://youtu.be/q3eh2qhibRE suggest an unhappy replay of history as military moves to a UN gun-grab that ends constitutional rights? https://youtu.be/Wz1q3jbSZLU

Reason Four. “Then shall two be in the field. One shall be taken and the other left.” Matt 24:40 “Then” means at the same time as the Flood--2nd Passover. Luke 17:36,37 has more… The disciples asked, Where, Lord? He replied--Where the body is, there will eagles gather. Could this be genocide like Rwanda had against Protestant Tutsis in spite of the UN having vehicles everywhere in Kigali, but did nothing to stop the slaughter?

Reason Five. The goodman, if he had known, would have watched and not suffered his house to be broken, Matt 24:43. The only prior reference to goodman is Proverb 7:19, KJV. “The goodman is a long journey…and will come home at the full moon.” (yom kece)

Passover comes on a full moon, but long journey means 2nd Passover. If Israelites took a long trip and couldn’t get back for Passover, they kept it a month later as provided in the law of Numbers 9:10,11. This fits May 19/20 again.

Reason Six. The evil servant begins to smite his fellow servants. The next parable begins “Then…” It has the same timing as that 10 virgin parable which has 9-11 timing again

Reason Seven. When five missed the wedding, Christ said “Watch…” It’s a clue for Passover as the only night being awake was required, Exod 12:10; Matt 26:38-41. He said, You don’t know. (bad translation) Eido means be aware, consider, understand. So He said, You don’t understand because it’s like a long journey, Matt 25:13,14, as #3 above.

Reason Eight. In the last parable, Christ was the Master who took the long journey to heaven and we should expect His return (invisibly in judgment as God came to Egypt) to conform to His law of 2nd Passover because the law is still in effect, Matthew 5:18.

The slothful servant who didn’t know when the Master was coming lost his talent. Passover is a time to not appear empty before God, Exod 23:15. Taking money out of the bank in anticipation of this event may mean you have your money if banks close!

Reason Nine. All of the above as a consequence of calamity at 2nd Passover implies something huge, “as the days of Noah.” Conventional wisdom says, “Wait and see” but it takes no faith to wait and see, and the wedding parables like Lk 12:36 show a sudden event beyond which it is too late to get ready--serious loss of a promised high destiny.

Reason Ten. The high destiny is seen in Luke’s wedding parable. “Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds watching when he comes. He will gird himself and make him sit to eat and will serve him…He will make him ruler over all that He has…to whom much is given, much is required.” Luke 12:35-48. Isn’t this reason enough--why not?

The Truth Regarding The Salvation Of Reprobates Offered By Dan Corner Of Evangelical Outreach

Corner is a Christian author, defender of the Christian faith and evangelist who has had over four decades of experience dealing with the Bible.

A primary issue of debate within Christianity is the question of Eternal Security. That debate has raged on for centuries. Within that general debate is another - the status of "reprobates." Can a reprobate be saved?

Many of us take positions on either side of that all-important debate, depending on our own interpretations, drawn from a particular version of the Bible. Interpretations however are not truth. When we look at questions such as these, opinions matter not at all. Only truth matters. Dan Corner of Evangelical Outreach offers a compelling answer to the question regarding the salvation of reprobates:

"Reprobate" is a KJV term which, like many other KJV terms, conjures up misleading ideas. Too often, it has even been preached or inferred that a "reprobate" cannot get saved OR that if one backslides after many years of serving God – having much knowledge of the Word beforehand – then he becomes a "reprobate" and can never return to salvation again. Neither one of these scenarios is true. Note the following verse where "reprobate" is used:

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are not convenient (Rom 1:28, KJV).

The context of Romans 1:28 refers to homosexuality, showing homosexuals have a "reprobate mind" (KJV). The NIV says a "depraved mind". So, can homosexuals get saved? The answer is a definite, unequivocal and absolute YES:

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor HOMOSEXUALS, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such WERE some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor. 6:9-11, NASB)

So again, the "depraved" (NIV) or "reprobates" can indeed get forgiven, based on a comparison of scripture with scripture. But what about 1 Cor. 9:27, where the same Greek word translated "castaway" has elsewhere been inconsistently translated "reprobate" in the KJV?

But I [Paul] keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a CASTAWAY (1 Cor. 9:27, KJV).

The point Paul is making in 1 Cor. 9:27 is: though he himself has preached the Word to others, he also MUST crucify the flesh ("die daily" – 1 Cor. 15:31) and walk holy OR he too will be a "castaway" (KJV), that is, "rejected" by God for salvation. Hence, Paul 'kept his body in subjection' in order to avoid losing his salvation.

Similarly Paul taught, if he himself preached "another gospel," that is, a different gospel other than the one and only true gospel, he would be "anathema" (CONDEMNED) just for preaching that false plan of salvation (Gal. 1:8,9). Preachers, YOU get no spiritual "brownie points" just because you are a preacher, except you will be given a MORE STRICT JUDGMENT (James 3:1), and you have a chance for the "crown of glory," if you qualify (1 Pet. 5:4). IF preachers don't live HOLY, they too will be DAMNED to eternal torment! Remember, the Apostle Judas Iscariot was a preacher, and he ended up going to HELL (Mk. 14:21; Jn. 17:12).

Remember the following truth about backsliding; Peter was an APOSTLE (one of the elite "TWELVE") – a preacher – yet he returned to salvation after he lost his salvation by disowning Jesus three times, he returned to salvation (Mt. 26:34 cf. Mt. 10:33; Lk. 22:32b). ALL backsliders can return to salvation, unless they commit eternal sin (Mark 3:22-30 cf. Heb. 6:4-6), commit suicide (1 John 3:15b; Rev. 21:8) or take the mark of the beast (Rev. 14:9-12), which is not out yet.

Finally, in Calvinism, a "reprobate" is, according to their FLAWED theology, simply a non-elect person – one doomed to be thrown into eternal fire with no free will and no chance of ever being saved! Such a repulsive concept smears Almighty God as an unloving, spiritually diabolical maniac, who has created some people only to be ETERNALLY TORTURED IN FIRE FOREVER!

The true God does not want any to perish (2 Pet. 3:9); commands all to repent (Acts 17:30); draws all to Jesus (Jn. 12:32); and wants all to come to the knowledge of salvation (1 Tim. 2:4); etc. God has given us free will, and he wants us to voluntarily choose to love him (obey him). He does not force us to love him.

All five points of Calvinism are DOCTRINES OF DEMONS, with the last point being the most dangerous of all. To read scripture refuting the HERESY OF ETERNAL SECURITY see https://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/eternal-security.htm.

God Delights In Showing Mercy To The Repentant Backslider And Recidivist Says Dan Corner Of Evangelical Outreach

Corner is a Christian author, defender of the Christian faith and evangelist who has had over four decades of experience dealing with the Bible.

Unfortunately many Christians mistakenly believe that nobody who backslides can be saved again. Sadly, this belief has literally destroyed the lives of many remorseful and repentant backsliders. That idea however is clearly refuted in the Bible. Dan Corner of Evangelical Outreach offers the truth - that a backslider (recidivist) can be restored and find forgiveness through sincere repentance. He had this to say:

A backslider in the Bible is a person who once had salvation, but has since turned away from the PRECIOUS Lord Jesus Christ to the point where he is now spiritually lost and dead again, just like he was before becoming saved. The truly saved can indeed backslide, and sadly many do. The following two scriptures reveal the backslider definition:

“A man who strays from the path of understanding comes to rest in the company of the dead” (Prov. 21:16).

“But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers” (Psa. 125:5).

The scriptural definition of a backslider, therefore, is a person who strayed from the path of understanding and turned to crooked ways. In the KJV, the only time the word backslider is found is in Proverbs:

“The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways... ” (Prov. 14:14).

Ezekiel and Peter give valuable details about those who are backslidden and what occurred when they turned to evil. Carefully observe and ponder these backslider scriptures referring to spiritual death and becoming bound by sin once again. According to God, backsliding is a very serious and dangerous state as proven here:

“If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, he will die for it ” (Ezek. 33:18).

“If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: ‘A dog returns to its vomit,’ and, ‘A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud’ ” (2 Pet. 2:20-22).

So, if you backslide, are you still saved? Not according to God's word, you’re not, but that doesn't mean you can't return to God and salvation. In fact, God commands such! Moreover, God's cure for backsliding is simple; the backslider must return to him:

"Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding..." (Jer. 3:22).

There are examples of both named and unnamed backsliders in the Bible, who turned away from God temporarily or even permanently. Some backsliders, like Peter and King David, returned to salvation after a while, but some others never came back to God; some examples of backsliders who never returned to God are King Saul, Solomon, Judas Iscariot, those in Heb. 6:4-6 and John 6:66 as well as others.

The grieving backslider wants to come back to God, but isn't sure how to be restored or even if returning to God is possible. Some backsliders think they sinned far too much and too grievously to come back while others wrongly think they have committed eternal sin and therefore can't get forgiven. There is, perhaps, no more downcast person than a repentant backslider who isn't sure he can return to God and find the forgiveness he so desperately craves.

Years ago, when I was pastoring, I knew a backslider who fell into sexual immorality. Over the next couple days, that same backslider lost nearly 10 pounds and was actually, on occasions, beating his own head against the wall in regret over his sin and foolishness! He wrongly thought, as a backslider, he could not repent and was, consequently, doomed to hell with no possible hope of ever getting saved again.

What finally helped that backslider to see that he could come back to God, in spite of his wicked actions, were the examples of King David and the Apostle Peter. Since God took those men back after they backslid, then why would he not take back this man, since he too was deeply repentant and resolved to never commit those sins again.

All throughout the Bible, we see how the highest authority on backsliding and forgiveness responds to a the repentant backslider; God himself taught that a backslider can indeed be restored and find forgiveness (Luke 15:11-32). The backslider (or prodigal son in this case) repented when he came to his senses. This verse demonstrates that a person who remains unrepentant and in sin that is dragging him to hell is not in his right spiritual senses. The backslider has been spiritually blinded by something or deceived somehow.

Although the prodigal son backslider, for an unknown time period, perhaps even many years, had engaged in wild living and sexual sin with prostitutes, he still found forgiveness; he was still able to return to God, and God wanted him back.

The prodigal became alive again, and his lost spiritual condition reversed upon turning from his sins and humbly returning to the Father to serve him (Lk. 15:24). Compare this teaching to 1 Thess. 1:9b. The only time in the Bible we see the Father running is to welcome the repentant backslider back home!

Remember this precious truth if you are a backslidden former Christian. Please also note that the Father was so happy to have the backslider back home that he hugged and kissed him and even celebrated his return with a feast.

Some Christians who correctly reject the teaching of eternal security wrongly think that no one who ever falls away can come back to salvation. This notion is clearly refuted by Jesus' teaching here, as well as by other passages (Rom. 11:19-23 and James 5:19,20).

A spiritually lost and dead person could be a person that was once saved. That truth and the following explain the phrase, “God is married to the backslider”, but few know God gave her a certificate of divorce and sent her away:

“I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery” (Jer. 3:8).

God delights to show mercy to the repentant backslider:

“Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:18,19).

“He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy” (Prov 28:13).

David's prayer as a backslider returning to God and asking God for forgiveness shows the pain, misery and guilt he, and others like him, are in (Psalm 51). His prayer for backsliding is Holy Spirit inspired. When the devil is tempting the righteous to sin, he will never accurately portray sin's regret in this manner. The following gives more insight:

Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God. Your sins have been your downfall! Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to him: "Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips. Assyria cannot save us; we will not mount war-horses. We will never again say 'Our gods' to what our own hands have made, for in you the fatherless find compassion.” (Hosea 14:1-3)
