WE COUNT THEM HAPPY WHICH ENDURE

 ~ By James Fire

For the video presentation of this teaching, check out The ELW Church here!

The LORD is an everlasting LORD – Whose attributes and holy character endures forever and ever: they are unchanging (immutable) and eternal. Let's read these nine references found in the book of Psalms that describe these attributes of God that endure forever:

The Glory of God endures forever – PSALM 104:31
God’s truth endures forever – PSALM 100:5
God’s goodness endures continuously – PSALM 52:1
God’s mercy endures forever – PSALM 106:1
Consider what PSALM 23:6 states: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me* all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

To “follow” in the Hebrew is radaph and it means to “pursue, to chase down, to overcome with determined intent”! That is the LORD's intent for His children: to pursue, and chase them down and bestow upon them His goodness and mercy - all the days of our lives! . . .

TTUF Review of – DOCTOR STRANGE: A Visitation Into Mysticism

~ By James Fire

To ILLUMINE The NAUGHTY

On New Year’s Day, Jan. 1^st 2014 the book, Illuminatiam:The First Testament Of The Illuminati  was published, for all the world to read. When I first learned of this, I was stunned, for I knew enough about this startlingly secret society to know that they would never reveal their full-disclosure themselves, until the world was prepared (by them) to receive them.

“Fear not for your war-stricken, poverty-ridden planet: help is on the way. The Illuminati's path for humanity--our Universal Design--has spanned throughout centuries to safeguard the human species from extinction. As this age of War comes to an end, the new dawn will usher in a society where all people, in all places, can live in Abundance. 

“Now is the time to prepare. Open your mind to learn of the power that gives authority to kings and queens but lives hidden inside every human. The Illuminati's first testament is your life's guide to all that is ahead: 

- Revelations about the Illuminati's role in history
- Decades-old secrets of wealth and prosperity
- How to join the Illuminati in the coming age
- Your true purpose in this world.”

. . . when they were ready to launch their plan for humanity – which would lead to their ‘new age’ and the World Teacher who would inspire the world to embrace its own godhood. 

With the release of this book, I knew that the recruitment of souls would only increase to fever-pitch, and what better means of recruitment than a dramatic presentation ala Hollywood cinema?

This factory of fanciful fiction, that has so successfully captured the visions of the J.K. Rowling stories of Harry Potter, has also produced another current series by Rowling, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them (and countless other films of fantasy, gods, vampires and what not) which is released alongside of Doctor Strange, the film that we will examine today on The TRUTH Under FIRE.

The PERILS and PERVERSION of PORNOGRAPHY - It's Satanic Influences and Spiritually Destructive Darkness - PART 1

The PERILS and PERVERSION of PORNOGRAPHY - It's Satanic Influences and Spiritually Destructive Darkness – PART 1

By James Fire

WARNING: The following article, PART 1 and 2 is not intended for children. If you are a minor, you are urged to leave and instead, invest your time elsewhere.

Morality is something integral to the revelation of God’s Word. His Law, and specifically the Ten Commandments reveals God-ordained morality with every one of the ‘thou shalt’s and ‘thou shalt not’s. God is eternal and immutable, and so is His Law and Truth, thus morality likewise does not change, despite popular beliefs in our modern times.

Today, people believe that morals are relative and not revelatory; that is, it’s up to people on an individual or even a group consensus basis to determine what is moral and what is immoral and not prescribed by God for mankind; There are some that even espouse an amoral attitude and conduct. The majority reject the idea that morals are based on God’s truth and that we are obligated to obey it. If truth is rejected, not recognized as existent or deemed relative, not only then does justice suffer, but morality as well. And this inevitably leads to the destruction of any society.

The dangers of pornography and the relativism that allows, even extols it, is the subject in today’s TTUF article. . .

The GOSPEL of MATTHEW: Ch. 20 – The MESSIAH and HIS KINGDOM MESSAGE

By James Fire

We sometimes forget that the Bible was originally written without chapter breaks or even verses for that matter. Those came about much later around the 15^th century. The divisions of chapters in the Bible are man-made and not at all inspired by God. They were added to make referencing passages easier for us.

We also have to remember that keeping things in context many times means ignoring (especially) the chapter breaks – and if we do this, we sometimes gain insights that we might not otherwise have, if we thought that the end of a chapter meant that a new subject would be addressed in the next chapter (as is the case with textbooks, or even fiction).
Where we ended in Chapter 19 of MATTHEW, the LORD Jesus spoke on the spiritual truth that “many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first”

Let us proceed then onto Chapter 20 and see if that thought is maintained and, or gives us any insights into His next declarations and teachings . . .

GOD’S CALL TO THE SHEPHERDS of HIS FLOCK.

 ~ By James Fire

One of the simplest and yet more profound representations of the LORD that we see in Scripture is as a Shepherd of sheep. We learn a lot about the LORD through this analogy, and a lot about ourselves as His sheep.

We will look at Scripture that testifies of the LORD’s faithfulness as our Good Shepherd, the things that He does for us, and how He is the perfect example for us who are shepherds of our families, of our congregations, Sunday school, Bible classes or of anyone who’s a starving sheep, that the LORD brings our way that needs spiritual feeding.
