In this at first seemingly cryptic saying by Jesus, it is easy to miss the consequences of infractions that all lead to JUDGEMENT.

The Greek word for JUDGEMENT is our modern-day word 'CRISIS' which is defined as “times of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger” and in each of these scenarios Jesus warns of the possibility of receiving judgement which ends in the ultimate crisis of hell.

Of note

here is Jesus’ last statement of those that arrogantly call others 'You Fool' and it is those in particular in their hubris - in completely discounting and degrading the message of judgement - that are themselves the ones unwittingly standing at the intersection of foolishness and judgement.

Friend, Jesus warned of this often discounted and dismissed idea of hell more than any other topic, NOT out of fear, but out of love and care for all. His hearts desire is that none go down the street of judgement that leads to eternal death but instead to follow Him on the true street that leads to eternal life.

What signpost are you currently standing under?

We are all born with it. -It is a silent but deadly fatal disease that has no symptoms. -In the course of life there is no pain... ...or tell-tale ache to indicate something is wrong. -Doctors cannot detect it or diagnose it. -Medicines cannot cure it. -It is guaranteed to claim the life of everyone that has it... but what is it? SIN Today’s verse reminds us that all of humanity has inherited this malady from the beginning of time, and history has shown that all that have sinned will physically die. Even so, there is a cure that will transend MORTAL life beyond its inevitable death to ETERNAL life, and this is in taking in the CURE of the restoring, renewing and redeeming Word of God: “Whoever HEARS my word and BELIEVES him who sent me HAS ETERNAL LIFE. He does not come into judgment (of sin ending in death), but has passed from death to life.” John 5:34 Friend, SIN is the Disease. CHRIST is the Cure. Please do not wait until this disease TAKES. Receive the cure of Christ before it is TOO LATE. God Bless Your Day Jesus Loves You NotesOnLife.org

This message is primarily for MEN. “May contain offense material. Viewer Discretion Is Advised.”

Hugh Hefner, the prognisticator of the pornography movement and founder of Playboy magazine once famously quipped and bragged, 'Every red-blooded American boy has looked at a Playboy centerfold' - and that’s true…including this writer. And comedian Jeff Foxworthy also joked the only thing men want is '…a beer, and look at naked women.'

Both Heffner and Foxworthy are right.

It is in the nature of us men to WANT to look at sexy women, so ladies, (if you’ve read this far) that’s just how we’re wired. So it is not surprising that surveys have found that even 70% of so-called professing 'Christian Men' struggle with consuming pornography, and this ties in an oblique way to Jesus’ words in today’s scripture about how the pressure to comply is forced on some, while others willingly embrace what is good out of purity of duty.

There are two ways relating to the problem of the so-called “P-Word” (which is a MAMBY-PAMBY WAY of addressing the seriousness of this issue in this author’s opinion!!)

There is a big difference between trying to NOT sin as opposed to not WANTING to sin, and an excellent example of this is in Daniel 1:8. Daniel was in captivity in Babylon and despite the fact that 'everybody does it' he “Purposed In His Heart” not to consume the irresistible, tasty FLESH sacrificed to idols, but instead desired to please God, and not satiate HIS flesh.

It is no coincidence that the word PORNO in the original Greek language literally also means 'The FLESH.'

Today’s verse concludes saying there are some men that instead make a heart commitment to be like a Eunuch for God’s sake and His Kingdom that are not casting their eyes on evil meat that corrupts, but are singularly focused on pleasing God — and not their own flesh.

The answer is in Romans 12:2 which says, “Be NOT CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND” because when your mind is transformed in alignment with the Mind of Christ it will become the difference between NOT DOING and NOT WANTING.

Friend, what have you Purposed In Your Heart? What do you want to SATISFY?

The memory and topic of 911 is a continuing hurt in the heart of Americans, so speaking anything controversial about this poignant moment in history is sure to cause surprise or anger. We at NOTES ON LIFE are not political, so please read this with an open mind, heart, and soul.

An extremely important, timely and relevant spiritual lesson is directly tied to today’s scripture which was Ignorantly Quoted Out-Of-Context in Congress on Capitol Hill on 9/12/2001 by Senator Tom Daschle, then four years later in commemoration by Senator John Edwards. Likewise President Bush, like the rest of the nation, echoed this theme in defiance to the attack that “We Will Rebuild.” In carefully re-reading this verse, it instead speaks of the condition of the hearts of those whose bricks had been toppled, that being one of PRIDE AND ARROGANCE.

The backstory here was that the Israelites had been attacked and beaten down by an enemy that worshipped a false god, yet in previous times, Israel always stood strong and was protected and victorious because they were faithful to God’s Word, and upheld righteousness. The exact same could be said for the United States of America.

In ancient times as at 911, the reason why they were attacked and ’the bricks (towers) fell down’ was that our nation had likewise fallen away from righteousness. You may strongly disagree with the following, but here are the facts about where the U.S. is both socially and spiritually in regards to its Lack of Righteousness.

Likewise our Pride and Arrogance has permitted a nation that has no bounds on sexual behavior or responsibility, pornography is consumed by the majority, speaking openly about God and the Bible is Forbidden, ridiculed or outlawed, there is a Disregard for Law and people in authority and Elders are Disrespected, Injustice is Rampant, people are Unapologetic about bad behavior, government and businesses are Fiscally Irresponsible, the most innocent are routinely Murdered and legalization and intoxication with Drugs are Openly Celebrated. Now the question we have to ask ourselves as a nation is Are these behaviors RIGHTEOUS?

The Bible speaks clearly about what happens when we operate outside of righteousness saying:

“Judge us Lord according to our RIGHTEOUSNESS, and do not let those that triumph over us rejoice when we do not.” -- Psalm 35:24 (paraphrased)

America - THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED ON 911. We were judged according to our (lack of) righteousness by a godless hateful, lost peoples and then – just exactly as in ancient times - we defiantly rebuilded while those that attacked us celebrated and rejoiced.

HISTORY DOES AND HAS INDEED REPEATED ITSELF

America: REPENT Not REBUILD not with towers or walls but REBUILD HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Then and only then will another 911 not happen and we will have true protection and again become One Nation “Under God.” May we always reverently Remember and Honor those that died this day, but not Repeat It.

God Bless Your Day Jesus Loves You

(NOTE: Friends, please listen! I was briefly involved in the occult before coming to Christ, and this "We battle not against flesh and blood" thing is REAL. If you 'celebrate' Halloween because you want kids to be happy think again. Do the research! Find out what ex-witches, warlocks and devil worshippers say about THIS DAY. It is no joke and it is dark, serious, and a a high holy EVIL day and NOT pleasing to God to participate in which opens a door to the demonic. Laugh if you must but this is serious and not something to be taken lightly.)

Why each year do people celebrate a curious holiday that features skeletons, snakes, spiders, witches, DARKNESS and anything spooky, sinister, and even SATANIC? What is so special about this day that all that normally is shunned instinctively by people is suddenly embraced as fun?

Well, the core word of 'Halloween' tells us exactly what you are really venerating and celebrating!

Just as Eve was tricked into partaking of the sweetness of the forbidden fruit, the trick in Halloween is not just sweet candy, but to trick you into honoring everything that is the opposite of God and Light.

The core word of HALLOWED means “Belonging to or derived from or associated with a divine power; something made HOLY.” So think about what this means — to celebrate Halloween is to make HOLY all things DARK and EVIL.

In the Lord’s prayer we say, “Our Father who art in heaven, HALLOWED be THY NAME” So which one should be revered? That which is DARK or that which is LIGHT?

We all can make choices of how to live our lives. Free candy and parties have their appeal, but making a distinction between that which is holy and profane might be a better choice.
