Don't be a Grinch Tipper - a Righteous Rant I realize a lot of people are on read.cash to make money. I understand the need in these difficult economic times. But here's a secret: **it's better to give than receive.** The fact is there are many greedy people here on the platform. So here is my fully justified rant. Some people wouldn't offer a day old piece of bread to a starving man or woman. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Some of you make a nice sum of money here on…
The Day of the Lord I slept little because I have a considerable amount of writing to do for clients today, hence my late night post. Unfortunately, many remain in ignorance concerning the eventual coming Day of the Lord. This should not be so, because for the few chosen it will be glorious, and yet for the majority of humanity, it will be a time of eternal separation from God and an immense, eternal suffering. A disclaimer of sorts Some scholars disagree, however. Some…
Be Encouraged Today - God Loves You! It's a wonderful Sunday to be alive, to have been awakened by the grace, mercy and love of God. Today I want to offer you some encouragement to help you through your day and maybe through your week. God loves you, **yes you**! And if at all possible, this message will encourage you for the rest of your life, especially when tough times arise (as they will), when bouts of depression sets in, when anxiety overwhelms you, when you lose a…
Finding Your Spiritual Gifts As I mentioned yesterday, God has given each of us talents to be used for His purposes, but that we don't always use them. Today my goal is to help you recognize these gifts so that you may use them for the Lord, whether at home, in your community or at your local church. Now I speak to those who are Christians here rather than those who believe there is no God. **They serve self rather than God.** The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit gives the gifts…
Why Satan is Winning the Battle It's no secret to those of us who call on the name of Jesus Christ that this world is passing away and that Satan is winning the battle but will lose the war in the end. But it is our fault as the church as to why Satan is now winning the battle. I don't know what religious book you read, but my Holy Bible tells me the following: "Satan, who is **the god of this world**, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see…
A Deeper Explanation of True Christian Repentance I was requested by a newer reader to expound more on what it means to repent. Sorry, but I forgot who it was, so my sincere apologies in advance. So let's take a deeper look at repentance. Some scholars advise that we repent often, some say daily. I am of the belief that we should repent i**mmediately whenever the Holy Spirit convicts us of our wrongdoings** (sins). But I am but an evangelist and lay minister still in…
A Carouser, a Cat and a Client The title sounds like the beginning of a good comedy bit, but unfortunately it is not; it was reality for me last evening. We know life's complexities can come at the most inopportune times. and in droves, and this is precisely what happened to me last evening. I went to bed at 10 p.m. (30 minutes later than normal) after praying, totally exhausted after having to write a rush article for a client after an extended electrical brownout in my…
The Loss of Masculinity in Society There was a time when men were masculine, a time when men were men and not effeminate embarrassments to their parents. But effeminacy has increasingly become fashionable in today's culture and there are reasons why this is so as well as should not be. From eye shadow, colorful hair, lipstick and more effeminate behaviors, more and more biological males are acting and behaving like their female counterparts. Additionally, boys should not be…
Christianity: SWOT Analysis Christianity is in somewhat of a crisis but God is moving in this new season of tyrannical behaviors and the ongoing pandemic. For those unfamiliar with the term SWOT analysis, it is used primarily in the business industry. However, it may be used to assess not only business ventures, but can also be easily used to measure almost anything that is influenced by external and internal factors. With a SWOT analysis, you measure strengths, weaknesses,…
Choosing Another King Who is your king? Who sits on the throne of your life? These are questions that will determine your eternal destiny, so give them some critical thought. Making a difference The true people of God are the ones making a difference in this world as they follow and act upon the prompts from the Holy Spirit. Conversely, it is not the people who attend church on occasion and live like hell the rest of the week. **Their king is self**. And since it is the…
The Necessity of Intentional Prayer Most people do not pray or they pray to a god rather than to the true God who created the universe, Jesus Christ. "But Jesus didn't create the world," some say. Yes, He did. The plan of creation came from the Father and Jesus carried it out and sustains creation to this very moment. We read: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and **the Word was God**. He was with God in the beginning. **Through him all things were…
Would You Spit in the Face of Jesus? Before you say no, hang on, I have a couple of more questions for you. Would you beat him unmercilessly? Would you be willing to crucify Him? These are real questions that fit into the category of what is known as recall and/or process questions. These types of questions require some analysis on the part of the respondent, that is, you the reader. But for the purpose of avoiding you thinking I am not capable of doing these despicable…
God's Law is Like an X-Ray Machine Who wrote the Ten Commandments? When Moses went up atop Mount Sinai, did he chisel out the Ten Commandments himself since he knew the people were violating the precepts of God? Or did God write them? Hear what the Bible says about the matter (this is Moses writing): "At that time the Lord said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like **the first ones** and come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark. I will write on the tablets…
My 5 Favorite Christmas Songs - and Why We all have out favorite Christmas songs we know by heart. Some we like because they arouse pleasant or sentimental memories. My top 5 are likely completely different from your faves and the reasons why are, too. Little Drummer Boy This is my top pick every Christmas. It was my mother's favorite song by Bing Crosby. The version I prefer features Bing Crosby and David Bowie. Both are now deceased but their perfect pitch lives on.…
I'm So Over Omicron Already If you've been paying attention about the pandemic of late, you know there is a new variant they have dubbed Omicron. It's interesting how the "scientists" have ceased using the Greek alphabet and have switched to odd names. But perhaps these odd names have a deeper meaning. Hysteria Everyone with a brain had a rational reason to be concerned when the China virus first broke out in Wuhan and then spread around the world during the Chinese New…
Gifts & Exchanges Yes, it's that time of the year again, Christmas. People will be celebrating, eating well (if they are able) and rejoicing in the spirit of Christmas. Still others will suffer depression and heartache from a past memory that happened during this otherwise joyful season. Pause and reflect I've said it many times, Jesus was not born on Christmas Day as tradition tells us. Instead, he was likely born in August or September when shepherds would still be tending…
Diversity and Unity When we think of the term diversity in our modern world we are taught to apply it to race or ethnicity. We are taught that the White man is the source of all the problems in the world and this is simply a lie from Satan and from the out of hell itself. This grievance is one of the great causes of disunity in the world today, proffered by the spirit of the Antichrist and those who submit themselves to false teachings such as socialism and Marxism - both of…
Building a Church - Expanding My Christian Ministry It's been a week or more since I last wrote anything on read.cash. Christmas was a blur as we were busy building up the ministry and raising funds for construction for a church on the beach. Several names for the church have crossed my mind but I have narrowed it down to three and am considering which one to choose. Business management models There are a host of these models to follow for any small business or corporation,…
