For there are certain men crept in unawares,

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. ~ Proverbs 14:12

The Holy Bible, Old and New Testaments, is an amazing training manual for how to live life in a world that really hasn’t changed that much since God sent Abraham out to multiply his seed. As far as human nature goes, it’s the same as it ever was. The Proverbs 14:12 trap catches as many good men today as it ever has.

If you decide to take up a cause that goes against the grain of the superimposed “social norm”…like, oh say, creating a Classical Christian alternative to LBGTQ/CRT/Satan Club Indoctrination Centers, or a Civics Organization that promotes the values and beliefs that gave birth to our nation over the collective group think madness that is presently leading our society to oblivion and its own self-destruction…EXPECT TO BE ATTACKED!

I discovered once such willing soul in Alex Newman this week. Straight from the stout-hearted men who say what they mean and mean what they say file! Alex flushes the snake from the grass at every level of our culture and proceeds to stomp its head with the battle cry, “I say we do it with the Great Commission!” Hold that thought…

On the very same day, I got this pretty amazing video about the “training manual” I referenced in the first paragraph of today’s Tune-up. I whole-heartedly encourage you to share this with people in your circle of family and friends who seem lacking in their conviction of faith. As I said to my friend after watching it. I’d say that’s amazing…but that’s God! What I find more amazing is the number of us who ACT as if He is not there! Alpha & Omega

…which bring us to The Deadly In-Between. Several weeks ago, I received this Derek Prince teaching from a dear friend. Living As Salt & Light In it, he describes his struggle in the Christian Faith as a young boy growing up in the UK because he saw no evidence of believing in the community of adults around him. BINGO!

My favorite book in the training manual is Acts, the story of the First Century Disciples of Jesus. God pointed me to the good shepherd of the church I now attend in a response I received to 136 letters I sent to all the pastors in Orange County New York where I live in 2020. Pastor Steve was one of the only four responses I received to my letter registering my objection to the churches closing their doors as a move that was antithetical to the Gospel. In his letter to me, Pastor Steve wrote, in agreement, “We are called to be First Century Disciples.”

Unfortunately for America the majority of church pulpits have become the favorite grassy knoll to the hiding snake. Why would this be? For the same reasons pedophiles seek positions in day care centers, boy scout troops, and Disney Land. In stark contrast to their colonial predecessors, the Black Robe Regiment, these are the hidden reefs Jude warned of; the clouds without water, trees whose fruit withereth, twice dead. Theirs is a gospel of fear designed to draw their flocks into the illusion of safety they carve out between truth and lie, the polar opposite of Psalm 23, the modern-day killing fields of the deadly in-between! CLOTH, on the very eve of Revival has come under its greatest attack since its inception in 2020…from the pulpit!

There is no middle ground when it comes to the accountability and responsibility we have to one another. Iron must sharpen iron. Truth must be told in love. But the easy way out which seemeth right to a man is exactly the paralysis and deadly in-between ways of death.

When is “that day”? When the Ascended Lord makes you one with the Father. In that day you will be one with the Father as Jesus is. ~ Oswald Chambers, Question versus Revelation

Don’t let “that day” find you hidden behind walls of dead stone, in between the right and wrong, truth and lie. Wherefore he saith, Awaken thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. ~ Ephesians 5:14
