May I say the most independent thing you or I can do is acknowledge and embrace our utter and complete DEPENDENCE on the Eternal GOD of the Bible.
Of this I am confident. The more dependent I am on GOD my Father, the more independent I am of this world’s system.
Find your independence this weekend. His name is YESHUA of Nazareth.

I have been musing on this for a few days. Today is the day to write. July 4 is days away, and sermons have already been preached about the flaws and ‘applause’ of America.
My thoughts have changed in recent years. Don’t get me wrong, I am abundantly grateful to live here; I am delighted with the comforts, but I’m not enamored with America so as to be swept away with any of this political hoopla that saturates the airwaves.
America has sinned big time, and I don’t see repentance flooding the aisles. I have narrowed my description to four sins We the People practice daily. To be sure, there are voluminous variants, but I believe each can be identified under 1, 2, 3, or 4.
1. Abortion.
2. Sexual Perversion
3. The Worship of Excess
4. The Worship of Self
I understand that since the Supreme Court cowardly sent the jurisdiction of abortion to the States, we now have more abortions performed than before. Not a win for life.
Sexual Perversion. There are no winners in this. Be the participant, heterosexual or queer, or any deviation thereof from Scripture, the practice of same brings destruction of myriad kinds over time, not only to the participants, but family, friends, and the Nation.
Excess, materially or soulishly, is a manifestation of greed, and it is practiced from sea to shining sea. Excess has become the god of many.
Self. The worship of self is the hinge pin of all sin. Every sin we practice is rooted in worship of self. It goes back to the Garden — Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil, able to decide for yourself (See Genesis 3). And, alas, we do. America does, and she flaunts her sins. Of this I am not proud.
That’s about it for my July 4th soapbox. I truly appreciate my natural-born United States citizenship, and it is my goal and intent to practice righteousness for the good of this Nation, and to do it no harm, but my allegiance is to King Yeshua. As He said, render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and what is GOD’s to GOD. (See Matthew 22)

He felt compassion for them and He healed them. He hasn’t changed. Aren’t you glad?

As I begin, I do not intend to be long, neither with words nor with the unpacking of the thought to be introduced. I hope you recall or will look it up, Matthew 24, the Disciples asked the LORD about His coming again. The first thing He instructed them was to not be deceived, and He continued with that word as He answered their question.
Now for my point.
Deception.
Deception is the first indicator that the End (or the Beginning, whichever way you see it) is at hand. Other happenings are mentioned as well, like wars, rumors of war, earthquakes, famines, etc., but we have had all those forever, all over the world.
I have believed for as long as I can remember that YESHUA is coming again, and I have been skeptical about when He would come back.
I am here to tell you I am more excited about His Return than I have ever been, more eager, and more inclined to say with other Folks that I now believe, we are close, very close.
Why? Deception.
Just 6 years ago, a smothering blanket of deception wrapped itself around the world.
For 2,000 years or more, we have had earthquakes, famines, wars, etc., at various times and places, but not globally, simultaneously, as is this deception.
Let me give a caveat right here: the global deception, even though it is global, some escaped and are continuing to escape—that’s Biblical, too.
Okay, I’ve already gone longer than I intended.
Here’s the bottom line: I am expecting YESHUA to return sooner than some of us have thought.
One final word: what do you need to do to prepare for His Return?
