It seems that so many Christians today have become lost, seriously sidetracked and disproportionately involved in discussing the current affairs of the world, from COVID-19, to political gossip and intrigue, to questionable conspiracy theories, to social injustices, etc. These are all things which pertain to this present world. Thus, they belong to the children of the world, and naturally occupy the minds of the children of the world.
For many people, including some Christians, turning their attention to these things has resulted in unwarranted fear, paranoia and in some cases, anger. It has also resulted in division and a lot of time-wasting, needless and fruitless debates. Some people, again, including some Christians, have become quite nasty in their remarks.
However if you are a Christian who truly believes God’s Word, then you must also acknowledge that we Christians are not of this present world. We in fact belong to a different Kingdom entirely. As such, we should not be overly concerned with the world’s happenings, or become deeply involved in its affairs. It should suffice to know that God is in control of each and every situation, and that all things occur according to His Divine Purposes. This truth should give us peace in our hearts, and not worry or fear.
As the founder of the Bill’s Bible Basics ministry, I have always striven to remain primarily focused on sharing and explaining God’s Word in my posts, in my graphics, in my poetry, and in my articles. No more, and no less. That is why I have not allowed in-depth discussions of the aforementioned topics on any of the social networks where I currently have an account. I have little interest in such things, and I have no time for them; particularly if they will lead to futile debates, impart fear and worry, or sidetrack us from discussing God’s Word.
Sharing God’s Word is what the first century Apostles and Disciples were all about, and that is what the Bill’s Bible Basics ministry is all about as well. Christ crucified and resurrected. It is God’s Word which points people to Christ, and not all of those other things. It is God’s Word which saves people and changes people’s lives, and not all of those other things, which in the end, lead to nothing that is profitable for the Kingdom of God.
So, if you are tired of all of the endless, fear-generating discussions which are occurring on the social networks, please consider visiting the Bill’s Bible Basics website, and refresh yourself in the waters of God’s Word. Don’t let the spirit of the world drag you down. Be uplifted and encouraged by delving deeply into the mysteries of the Word of God! If you are looking for a place which is solidly focused on sharing God’s Word, and God’s Word alone, you have come to the right place. To increase your Heavenly Vision, please consider reading the following BBB articles and KJV Bible Verse Lists:
Folks, for me personally, when it comes to friend requests, the bottom line is this. The more you BOLDLY and CONSISTENTLY share God’s Word on your page, the more inclined I will be to accept your friend request.
On the other hand, if all you post is worldly nonsense, or if you rarely post and only update your profile pic and cover image, or if there are only tagged posts from your friends on your page, your chances of having your friend request accepted by me are about zero.
I just thought you should know before you decide to send me a friend request. Let’s get serious about Jesus! Thanks for understanding.
“He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” Daniel 3:25, KJV
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:13-14, KJV
The Daniel verses are NOT the only ones that mention Jesus being the Son of God in the Old Testament. In fact, the entirety of Psalm Two is talking all about God the Father, and His beloved Son Jesus Christ. For those of my readers who may not be aware of it, according to Christian beliefs, in the Old Testament, when LORD is written in all uppercase letters, it’s really a substitute for “YHWH” — which is the always unspoken Hebrew Tetragrammaton — and it always signifies God the Father. In other instances, the word “Lord” — with only the uppercase “L” — is translated from the Hebrew word “Adonai”, and can indicate Jesus Christ. In Psalm Two, verse two, the phrase “his anointed” is referring to Jesus Christ:
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.” Psalms 2:1-12, KJV
You say you’re tired of my preaching,
Well, friend, I get so tired too,
No matter how much I keep warning,
It seems I can’t get through to you.
You’ve built your wall of resistance,
Stubbornness and pride a mile high,
You foolishly reject the Lord Jesus,
Tho in your sins you are sure to die.
You say my efforts are so pointless,
That I should just give up the fight,
But I will just keep praying for you,
And hope someday you’ll see the Light.
