7 “If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, 8 but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.
9 Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the LORD against you, and it become sin among you.
10 You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand.
11 For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’
It truly amazes me how the LORD our GOD is so gracious as to reveal so many things to us — not only about HIMSELF and HIS plans for creation, but how the mind of man works, especially among those who are so ignorant and in love with themselves.
Please watch this video in which the Rev. MacArthura stands firm on the WORD of the LIVING GOD…the only authority we have for living a clean and acceptable life before HIM… while the other panelists speak with the flesh. Notice the “I have a problem…” and “I don’t think…” phrases, especially. And “I don’t want to get into theology…”
As for the “rabbi” who says the 9/11 terrorists aren’t in hell (because GOD wouldn’t make a place like that) and that they aren’t in heaven either… they’re just “nowhere.” I don’t want to call him a fool, but he sure speaks foolishly.
And Mr. Chopra “…we have created a tribal chief with our gods.” Pardon? There is only ONE GOD and HE is sovereign. I really wonder who this jesus Mr. Chopra is talking about… I mean, where else do you find out about Jesus Christ of Nazareth besides the Holy Bible? … Can these people read?
2 Peter 2: 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
… 12 But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.
15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

I was not surprised to see this item, but still very much disappointed that such a high-profile man calls himself a Christian but yet does not know the LORD our GOD. His viewpoints are not new, either, he’s said many “interesting” things before concerning his faith… including seeing GOD in Pope Benedict XVI’s eyes. … Perhaps if he weren’t so busy bowing to the pope and fighting to kiss his ring, he would have more time to learn about the ONE TRUE GOD — LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ.
‘Remind Them Of The HOPE’ – One Day Soon The Earth Will Be Full Of The Knowledge Of The LORD
Even though we are Christians and we know in WHOM we hope, we all have our moments of weakness, the times when we let all the seemingly inexplicable craziness of the world cast down our spirit. It’s easy to get depressed or downtrodden when we look around and hear bad news after bad news — things that, quite frankly, most of us can’t get our heads around.
Sometimes, to me, it seems as if the wicked and rebellious wish GOD wasn’t real and that HE had no place in America. For them, that would be a time of rejoicing, not knowing that without HIS abundant grace, mercy and love we would all be in hell. Every single one of us. Some are ignorant, and some are very knowledgeable of their choices and desires, i.e., some truly know not what they do, but there are others who are well aware that they work for the devil.
And, despite the times when it may seem that evil is prevailing, I know the victory has already been won. When Christ Jesus was on that cross and HE said, “It is finished.” Satan was defeated once and for all. So no matter how the heathen rage and try to bring the evil imaginations of their hearts to life — it’s all in vain. Read the rest of this entry »
OK. I’m trying to remain calm, so please forgive me if this post strays all over the place. If you can’t wait, just jump to the bottom to see the ridiculous “news” item, which is about nothing more than depraved people trying to validate their wicked lifestyle.
I sometimes wonder, “What will be America’s undoing?” I wondered if it would be all of this inter-faith mess, with GOD’s people being lead away by idolatry/harlotry as with the early Hebrews. They were judged greatly for that. People calling themselves Christians have been compromising with the world all in an effort to gain an audience, fame and bring people into their churches — not even necessarily to help bring a soul to Christ. Definitely not that.
But no, as things seemed to have kicked up a notch over this gay “marriage” nonsense it seems that some folks want to turn America into a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. We all know what happened to those wicked, sexually immoral cities and their inhabitants. I don’t want that to happen to America (although, Babylon is prophesied to be made desolate and a “prison for every foul (wicked) spirit). But if we keep on this lustful, prideful, lawless path that is sure to happen. We will be judged by the GOD who created us. Shake your fists all you want, one day HE’s going to shake HIS right back.

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” - John 8:31-32
About LaVrai.COM
LaVrai.COM was previously heavily focused on news and commentary related to the Christian community. My interests and desires have changed somewhat. Although I am still very much attentive to current events and happenings affecting Christians worldwide, I feel it would be more beneficial for myself (and I pray for others) to use this space on the Internet to focus more on GOD’s Holy Word. It is HIS Word that keeps us going day-to-day.
I try to be very careful about what sites/blogs I link to. Not everyone confessing Christ Jesus truly knows HIM or is obeying HIS every word. That said, please use your own discretion when clicking on a link. If I am aware of any conflicting issues with a link, I will make it known. These links are meant for education and encouragement (i.e., edification). If you have any concerns, please contact me.
