WHAT DOES THE BLOG NAME MEAN?


2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

We cannot avoid the affairs of life mentioned in Verse 4. But, we must be very sure that we do not become entangled in them. We must, through Christ and uncommon sense, master the affairs of life.

Hardness in Verse 3 is what we today call "hard times". So, good soldiers simply endure. Millions of saints and sinners have survived hard times before us. Have we learned from them, or will we repeat all the dumb choices? Hmmmmmmm

LAW OF THE LAND


There is no record in the Bible of Jesus breaking Roman law. 


He violated the rules of the religious Pharisees in his day, and I suspect he would break the Fundamental Baptist Standards and Amish regulations today if he were to return and walk among us. I can see Jesus nailing an orange sign on an Amish buggy.


In these last days of the Church Age, many saints are talking about how to beak the law, whether in regard to gun laws, or in paying taxes..... it matters not what the law is. If a given law does not prevent you from worshiping God and preaching the Gospel, obey it.


Franking, I have considered attaching a big orange triangle to the back of my van because of the maniacs in Austin, Texas. Sigh. 


Read about the Amish rebels below. They may not call themselves persecuted.
