Filling In the Missing Pieces: Who
Was Behind It All? The True Story of the Georgia Guidestones Documentary (VIDEO)
- Tuesday, May 23, 2023 18:54 - Adullam Films has released a new documentary,
“Dark Clouds Over Elberton: The True Story of the Georgia Guidestones.” This
film is a must see for those who wish to learn more about the globalist use of
environmentalism towards the cause of population control. In 1979, a mysterious
stranger appeared in the remote town of Elberton, Georgia. The man introduced
himself as R.C. Christian, but admitted this was not his real name. He claimed
to represent a small group of loyal Americans who wanted to erect a monument
they hoped would inspire “the Age of Reason.” https://beforeitsnews.com/resources/2023/05/filling-in-the-missing-pieces-who-was-behind-it-all-the-true-story-of-the-georgia-guidestones-documentary-video-2432495.html

ZERO HEDGE: Hopkins: The War On
Reality (Revisited) - BY TYLER DURDEN - TUESDAY, MAY 23, 2023 - 07:45 PM - Authored
by CJ Hopkins via The Consent Factory - Reality isn’t what it used to be. It
never really was, but that’s another story. This one isn’t about reality per
se. It’s about the War on Reality, the one we’re in the middle of, the war that
started when the War on Terror was cancelled in the Summer of 2016. It’s
actually an extension and an evolution of the War on Terror, and the War on
Populism, and the rollout of the New Normal in 2020 … but that is also another
story. I want to focus on the war that is raging currently, on the Internet, in
people’s workplaces, homes, among friends and families, and in people’s heads.
I’m pretty sure you know the war I’m talking about, regardless of which “side”
you feel you are on. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/hopkins-war-reality-revisited

Responding to Grace
by Jack Kelley
Published on: June 28, 2015
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
May 24th 2023
Last time we discussed five things
the Bible says about the way God sees us now that we are born-again. We’ll
review these briefly and then see what the Bible says about how we should
respond.
He sees as His own children, adopted
into His family, and made one of His heirs with an inheritance that can never
be taken from us.
He knows we still sin but He no
longer counts our sins against us, attributing them instead to the sin that
still lives within us.
Because we’re in Christ, He sees us
as a new creation. From His perspective, everything we used to be is gone and
we’ve been made new, as righteous as He is.
Therefore, no one can condemn us
before Him for any reason.
He knows when we stand before Him all
our earthly imperfections will be gone and we will be perfect, as He is
perfect, fit to dwell with Him forever.
As we begin, let’s make sure we
understand that none of these five things are conditional upon us, maintaining
any standard of behavior. The only requirement God has attached to them is that
we admit we’re sinners, and believe when Jesus went to the cross He went for
us, to pay the penalty for our sins, so we could be forgiven for all of them
(John 6:28-29). This is what it means to be born-again. Our salvation and the
inheritance that goes with it is a free gift of God’s grace (Eph. 2:8-9), and
all that’s required of us is that we receive and accept it.
Therefore, nothing that follows
should be seen as the price we have to pay to receive or keep eternal life. We
have already received it, and nothing in heaven or on earth can ever change
that.
In two different places Paul said
that for the believer, “Everything is permissible” (1 Cor. 6:12, 1 Cor. 10:23).
In both cases the Greek word translated “permissible” means “lawful.” Then he
completed the thought with, “but not everything is beneficial” meaning just
because it’s permitted doesn’t mean it’s good.
Before we go on, how could Paul say
that everything is lawful for believers? Didn’t Jesus say He hadn’t come to
abolish the Law? Yes He did, but when He went to the cross He abolished the
penalty associated with breaking the Law for those who believe.
“He canceled the written code with
its regulations that was against us and that stood opposed to us” (Colossians
2:14).
The law and its penalties are still
in force for those who don’t believe, and they remain liable for every
violation. But for believers, the penalties have been canceled. They aren’t
simply overlooked, because God can’t do that. They are canceled because Jesus
paid them in advance by nailing them to the cross. The power of the Law lies in
its penalty, so where there is no penalty the Law is powerless. It’s as if
everything is lawful.
But that doesn’t mean everything is
beneficial. Certain behaviors simply aren’t good for us. They can be addictive,
they can ruin our health, they can damage or destroy our relationships with
others, they can destroy our self esteem, and most importantly, they grieve the
Holy Spirit who is sealed within us and is forced to participate.
In 1 Cor. 6:12-20 Paul’s main topic
was sexual immorality. In verses 18-20 he summarized his thoughts this way.
“Flee from sexual immorality. All
other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually,
sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of
the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not
your own; you were bought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your bodies.”
The Bible considers all forms of
sexual activity that are performed outside of a heterosexual marriage to be
immoral and therefore sin. Sexual sins are sins against our own body and Paul
reminded us that our bodies are not our own to do with as we please. We have
been bought at a price, the precious blood of Jesus (1 Peter 1:18-19). God has
put His own seal of ownership on us and made us collectively into His temple
for this age. His Spirit dwells within us (2 Cor. 1:21-22).
If you’ve read part one of this
study, you know that God will not revoke our salvation for this or any other sin. But Paul has
reminded us that since our bodies belong to Him we should strive to do only those things
that please Him out of gratitude for what He’s done for us. Sexual immorality is
not pleasing to God and grieves the Holy Spirit, who being sealed within us, is
forced to participate.
The other place where Paul mentioned
that everything is lawful for us (1 Cor. 10:23) concerned our example to other
believers. Here the issue specifically concerned eating food sacrificed to
idols. To those who are secure in their faith this is no big deal, but we
shouldn’t seek our own good, but the good of others. So no matter what we do we
should do it all for the glory of God. We shouldn’t cause anyone to stumble,
whether Jews, Greeks (Gentiles) or the church of God.
Jews are always looking down at us
because of the casual nature of our faith. Gentiles think we’re hypocrites
because we don’t live up to our own standards. Other Christians see us living
our lives like unbelievers. None of this will encourage people to want to learn
more, and may even cause them to reject what little they do know. Sure,
everything is lawful for us but not everything is beneficial for those around
us.
Paul took the Corinthians to task for
their lack of propriety in worship (1 Cor. 11:1-16), the casual way they
celebrated the Lord’s supper (1 Cor. 11:17-34), and the way they flaunted their
Spiritual Gifts (1 Cor. 12). He could do the same in many churches today. These
things don’t bring glory to God, nor do they even show Him the respect He’s
due.
In Ephesians 4:17-32 Paul turned to
our personal behavior.
“So I tell you this, and insist on it
in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility
of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from
the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening
of their hearts. Having lost all
sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in
every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed” (Eph. 4:17-19).
Again, this kind of behavior is not
unlawful for us and will not endanger our salvation. But it’s not beneficial
for us or those around us and does not bring glory to God. We’re children of
the eternal King and should try to live up to what we’ve already attained
(Phil. 3:16) not to mention we’ve been taught better.
“That, however, is not the way of
life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in
accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to
your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by
its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put
on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness”
(Eph. 4:20-24).
Even though in the eternal sense God
already sees us as being as righteous as He is, we know as long as we’re here
on Earth we won’t ever make it. But that’s our destiny, and Paul was telling us
to practice being that way. Not to earn or keep anything, but to express our
gratitude for His promise that one day soon it will all come true.
“Therefore each of you must put off
falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one
body. “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are
still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Anyone who has been stealing
must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own
hands, that they may have something to share with those in need” (Eph.
4:25-28).
Notice Paul’s reason for working is
not to enrich ourselves but to help those in need. In 2 Cor. 9:6 he said those
who sow generously will also reap generously and in 2 Cor. 9:11 he said we
would be made rich in every so we can be generous on every occasion. Therefore,
the attitude that facilitates true wealth is generosity. Start giving away
everything you can in your current situation and the Lord will make sure you
always have more to give.
This is why Jesus told us not to
store up treasure on Earth. Whatever we receive here is for sharing, because by
doing so we’re storing up treasure in Heaven (Matt. 6:19-21). There are over 93
million Americans who can’t find work. You want the more abundant life He
promised (John 10:10)? Find one close to you and start helping. Start small and
increase your giving as your faith grows. I know this is a radical thought, but
Jesus is a radical teacher.
“Do not let any unwholesome talk come
out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according
to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the
Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get
rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form
of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just
as in Christ God forgave you” (Eph. 4:29-32).
Match your generous deeds with words
of encouragement. This will become easier as your faith grows, and you will
become a kinder, gentler, happier, person.
Above all remember, you are not
required to do any of this to guard your salvation. It was a free gift. Doing
this is how you respond to God’s grace.
