“Curse God and Die” When Our Anger Is Directed at God!

Donald Thomas — Mon, 30 May 2011 18:56:04 +0000

How many times have we become so angry with God that we felt like we were about to explode? And how many times we have verbally assaulted God because we felt our prayers weren’t answered or completely ignored? It is not uncommon for people to feel disappointment or out and out rejection because of our situation and the things that are affecting our lives and/or lives of our love ones.

Time and time again many of us have lashed out at God because of circumstances we often find ourselves in. As long as we are experiencing prosperity and enjoying safe refuge we are at peace with the world around us including God, but as soon as disaster comes knocking at our door we are so quick to curse God and denounce all that He is and has ever been.

A Tree and Its Fruit: Watching The Things We Do As Christians

Donald Thomas — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 20:50:16 +0000

When you think of false prophets you might not think of yourself, but after receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and confessing Him publicly only to turn around and follow Satan (devil); you do no less. False prophets claim to belong to Jesus Christ and they continually confess Him as their Lord and Saviour vigorously.

However, their actions prove false to the claims they make. Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). Arrogance, haughtiness, pride, and insolence are just a few of the characteristics of a false prophet. Jesus went on to say, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God,” (Matthew 5:9).

As Christians we cannot rage and rant at others and expect not to bring reproach on our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Christians are earthly representatives of Christ and when we give in to the desires of the flesh we bring reproach on Jehovah God our creator and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who died on the cross for the remissions of our sins (Romans 5: 8-11).

Apostle Paul stated, “In your anger do not sin”; Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold (Ephesians 4:26). In order for us to be pleasing to Jehovah God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ we must become ‘peacemakers’. We cannot afford to allow our anger to run wild (Proverbs 29:11), “for a man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires according to James, the author of the book of James in the “Holy Bible” (James 1:20).

Jesus Christ Is Still Calling Out To A Dying World–2010

Donald Thomas — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 01:38:37 +0000

It’s now been over two thousand years since Jesus Christ walked the roads from Galilee to Jerusalem and from Nazareth to Bethany, and many other points between and beyond. He was driven to get the word out that He had been sent into the world by His Father (Yahweh/Jehovah God) to deliver the people from bondage (Satanic enslavement) and to show them the way unto salvation and the kingdom of God (Isaiah 61:1-2).

Today the word of God (Jehovah) still resonates around the world from Canada to Costa Rica; from China to the United States and everywhere else the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached throughout the earth and its message is the same as it was over two thousand years ago: “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand” (Matthew 4:17),” …and receive salvation” (Luke 1: 77). Jesus Christ disciples have been instructed by Him to preach the gospel around the world, and set free the captives who are held in bondage by Satan the devil (Matthew 28: 18-20).

Soldiers Of Darkness: Following The Commands Of Their Chief Commander: Satan the Devil

Donald Thomas — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:28:10 +0000

Never before in the history of mankind has the earth been so heavily populated with people—people who oppose the will and word of Jehovah God and His Son Jesus Christ. Never before has the opposition and antagonism against Christianity been so broad and venomous as it is today.

In many parts of the world Christianity as a religion is banned, and professing Christians are persecuted, and in many instances publicly put to death to frighten would be worshipers from accepting Christianity as their religion. Many governments world wide have set manifestos that declare Christianity as an enemy of their nation, and have banned the bible as well as those who would dare to teach it.Read “Soldiers Of Darkness”

Christians’ Persecution Throughout The World—But Remain Strong Unto The End

Donald Thomas — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:03:05 +0000

Never before since the beginning of Christianity has so much opposition been level against Christianity as a religion and against Christians who profess and follow this religion. Individuals, organizations, opposing religions, and even many governments around the world have mandates and manifestos that oppose the teaching, preaching, and the following of this religion.

Christians who dare to practice their beliefs in such hostile lands are often intimidated, imprisoned, physically beaten, unmercifully tortured, and in too many cases put to death simply because of their beliefs and practices. Many Christians are persecuted day and night without any legal recourse. Thousands have lost all of their worldly possessions including homes and vehicles as well.

It’s not uncommon for Christians to be fired from their jobs without an explanation whatsoever. Some have had their businesses confiscated and illegally taken away from them without a reason. In many places Christians do not have the same protection under the law as their neighbors and fellow countrymen. And it is sad to say that because of such harsh and unfair treatment some Christians give in and give up. Read “Christians Remain Strong Unto The End”

Jesus Is Love: The Only True Saviour For A Dying World

Donald Thomas — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 06:42:42 +0000

Imagine a modern day sea vessel that is part rusted, corroded in spots; old peeling paint; microscopic cracks in many places, and a few large cracks in others. Imagine if you will a ship with an unsound keel, busted rudders; an anchor hooked on a broken chain; a propeller with missing blades; a bow that has been damaged from salt waters; a deck that is unstable and incapable of sustaining weight for any period of time, and a stern that looks as if it might brake off at any given moment.

Can you imagine yourself sailing across the open seas on an unstable and a totally unreliable vessel as this? A trip on a vessel like this would be a nightmare to say the least! But my friend that’s what many of us Christians really are—an unworthy and unreliable vessel that cannot be trusted to carry any cargo—especially the most sacred cargo of all—the “Word Of God” (John 1;1).

We are living in a dying world (1Corinthians 7:31) and it is Jehovah God desire that all men be saved. That is why He sent His only begotten Son—Jesus Christ into the world to save sinners. Jesus commanded His Apostles and disciples to go forth throughout the world making disciples from all nations, baptizing them in the name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that He had commanded His disciples to do (Matthew 28:18-20).

Jesus said to Ananias (speaking about Saul who was also named Paul), “Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel” (Acts 9:15). Modern day Christians are no less of a vessel as Apostle Paul and all the other disciples of Christ at that time (inception of Christianity).

We are not spectators who read the scriptures and marvel at the perseverance and dedication of followers of Christ in biblical times; instead, we are commanded by Jesus to carry the gospel throughout the world teaching and preaching about salvation and repentance in the name of His son Jesus Christ Read “Jesus Is Love”

Fornication And Adultery—What’s The Big Deal Anyway? Is Sex Wrong?

Donald Thomas — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:32:04 +0000

Marriage is sacred and it was hallowed by Jehovah God Himself. It is through this arrangement that husband and wife share with one another; support one another, and rear their offspring together in a loving and caring environment. It was meant to be a life long union that could only be broken by death of one of the spouses.

Marriage was created by God to bring the man and the woman together in a way that would compliment each other. In other words, males and females were made differently but their differences would actually make them stronger and enable them to accomplish more if they were united as one in “Holy matrimony”. The differences should be celebrated as oppose to being a reason for discord, dissent, and petty bickering.

Jesus said, “Haven’t you read that at the beginning the creator made them male and female, and said, ‘for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate”(Matthew 19:4-6).

It is God’s will that marriages last a life time without the possibility of separation and that children be raised in a loving union with both father and mother. Read “Is Sex Wrong”?

The Battlefield: Take Your Stance and Stand Firm—In Jesus Name

Donald Thomas — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:12:25 +0000

We are on a battlefield, the entire earth is a battlefield where we as disciples of Christ are locked in a life and death battle that extends far beyond a mere physical death. We are in a battle that will determine where we stand as soldiers and where we will spend eternity. Make no mistake about it Satan has unleashed an all out attack against mankind but especially against those who choose to follow Jesus Christ and walk according to Jehovah’s (Yahweh/YHWH)) commandments.

We cannot afford to let our guard down for one moment because Satan is looking for an opportunity to slay us both spiritually and physically…and he will never, ever give up on that mission. His goal is to take us down physically and spiritually and silence us once and for all, and to lead us down the road of eternal damnation where we will be forever shut out from the love of Jehovah God and His Son Jesus Christ.

To avoid such a terrible and frightening outcome you must repent of your sins and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today. Jesus is still calling out to the world to save them from their sins. Jesus died on the cross for the remission of our sins—not His. He gave His life up to save mankind from eternal damnation and everlasting destruction by atoning for our sins when He suffered the agonizing death on the cross…and through His stripes (beating) we are healed. Hallelujah! Read “The Battlefield”

Jesus Christ: The Author Of Our Salvation

Donald Thomas — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:42:04 +0000

The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob; the God of the Hebrews (Yahweh/Jehovah), is a God of Love (1John 4:8); a God that is merciful (Deuteronomy 4:31); a God that is long suffering (Psalms 86:15), and a God that is quick to forgive (Daniel 9:9). When we refuse to surrender to the will of God and instead, we follow our own dreams and inclinations; we soon come to the realization that we are still unfulfilled and restless in our soul.

In defiance we continually strive to set and reach even loftier goals than before but our madness only ends in more madness, and we are left with an emptiness that we cannot fill; a void that is deep and troubling—a voice screaming out from within for help.

Yes, it is true that God allows us to choose our own path and make our own decisions, but we are warned that choosing a path that is contrary to God’s will can cost you your life–both physically and spiritually. Sure, you can follow Frank Sinatra’s hit song “I did it my way”, but look at the cost. Your Life! Being arrogant and presumptuous will cause you to lose the free gift of salvation that God has made available to all of mankind.Read “Jesus, The Author Of Our Salvation”

Although Your Heart Is Filled With So Much Pain and Sorrow, Don’t Give Up

Donald Thomas — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:30:31 +0000

Receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and believing in Him has given you a new birth; you are a new creature in Christ Jesus with a new beginning and a new life. As you continue to grow spiritually Jehovah God will give you His “Holy Spirit” to guide you and lead you in understanding His word and His will through His Son Jesus Christ. The bible tells us that even the angels in heaven rejoice when a sinner repents and receive salvation (Luke 15:10).Read “Pain and Sorrow”
