Watchman: Daily Devotional, Every Challenge in Life Is a Test to Discover if We Will Face It With Faith or Skepticism. Falling Into the Lake Was the Last Thing Peter Wanted to Do, but the Distraction of the Physical Caused Him to Do Just That

Matthew 14:31-33 (NIV) 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” While Jesus walked up the mountain to pray, He dispatched the disciples ahead. They rowed against the wind, which prevented them from crossing the lake. During the last few hours before dawn, Jesus appeared to them, walking on the lake. The Jews called the lake’s depths the Abyss. They were terrified to see a figure walking on the water, but Jesus explained who He was and that they need not be afraid. (Job 9:8) Peter requested to meet Jesus on the lake. He was invited to come…

Augustine of Hippo; pillar of the Christian Faith? Or Just another Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing?- Heb.2:14

By Edward O’Hara, This man is credited, and rightly so, with the introduction for the Roman Catholic Church to her belief in the doctrine of original sin and sin nature. Also known as “necessity” in Augustine’s writings. Which is actually the introduction of Gnosticism into the that religion. And what was as many who recognized it as such at the time stated outright, a massive departure, a great falling away if you will, from the Biblical doctrine of salvation delivered to us through the apostles. But, and this is where our focus will be today, on top of this he was a man captive to the practice, or lifestyle, of fornicating with harlots. Which is what prompted him in the first place to look for an excuse for this seemingly uncontrollable bad behavior that he had come to believe was…

Watchman: If the Holy Spirit Were to Bring Conviction to Our Country, What Might That Look Like? What if for a Month Everything Came to a Halt—Stores Closed, Entertainment Ceased—as People Cried Themselves to the Ground Over the Hardness of Their Hearts and the Falling State of the Nation?

The impact of the Second Coming on each of our individual lives will be determined by the state of our faith in Jesus. How each nation interacts with God will determine how they are judged. Our hope rests in God’s pity. We pray that our efforts will help us shine more light on a country that is descending into darkness. The Holy Spirit equips us with the ability to answer thoughtfully and respectfully any question about the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15). There are those who believe we have stumbled too far and wasted our second chance. That said, historical accounts of revivals paint a similar picture. Truthfully, only God can provide it. However, I believe that you and I can always pray earnestly to the Lord while we are still alive and ask Him to give…

Watchman Warns: Ungodliness Has Always Swept Away the Existing Social Order in a Chaotic Whirlwind of Death and Destruction,Don’t You Know Biden is Demonic

 Ungodly” as those who are separated from God. Ungodliness is the condition of being polluted with sin. To be ungodly is to act in a way that is contrary to the nature of God, to actively oppose God in disobedience, or to have an irreverent disregard for God. The Bible often speaks of “the flesh” in reference to things that emanate from our sinful natures. The acts of the flesh and the desires of the world fall under the category of ungodliness.

Watchman, the Police State Has Started a Brutal, Take-No-Prisoners, All-Out Attack on Anyone Who Even Questions Its Power, Let Alone Tries to Take It Away

HNewsWire: by John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead “When players are piled on top of each other after a mad scramble for a loose ball, it’s a free-for-all. There are no rules.  Anything goes. That’s because there’s nobody in the pile to monitor what’s going on.” — Mike Thomas, sports editor, Sportscasting, 9 November 2020 What is playing out before our eyes right now should be familiar to any fan of football: it’s called the pile-on, a brutal, frenzied, desperate play to seize control and gain power while crushing the opposition. In this particular analogy, “we the people” are trapped at the bottom of that pile, buried under a mountain of bread-and-circus distractions, economic worries, environmental disasters, power plays, power grabs, police raids, indictments and circus politics. The Maui wildfires. The Trump indictments. Hunter Biden’s legal troubles. The looming 2024 presidential election. The…

WHY SAVING FAITH WITHOUT WORKS MUST

REJECT “IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS”… By Edward O’Hara The Roman Catholic dogma depicted in these memes, like all the other false religions that came from her, is an abomination to God. The reason so many evangelicals and protestants accept her as a Christian religion is because of their common foundation. A foundation that is the doctrine of original sin and sin nature. A doctrine that teaches salvation is by works and denies the doctrine of Christ. Here’s the proof.  Roman Catholics, evangelicals, and protestants claim to believe in salvation by grace through faith. But, believe that grace is when Jesus imputes to them His righteousness that He attained by perfect law keeping. This is not grace. But, salvation by works. And not just any works. These are works of the law. Works for which Paul said no flesh would be justified. These actually believe that…

Corporate Worship Is Key to Losing Your Faith “Apostasy” Struggling With the

SIN Virus Homosexuality… In Christianity, apostasy is the rejection of the faith by someone who formerly was a Christian. It is a conscious abandonment of faith in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. B.J. Oropeza, an author and assistant professor of Biblical Studies at Azusa Pacific University, says that there are three dangers that could lead a Christian to commit apostasy: temptations, deceptions, and persecutions. Below we will look at scriptures that support each of these, and scriptures you can use to encourage those at risk of leaving the faith. These themes are consistent with Oropeza’s theory, but some specific causes include worldliness, moral lapse, forsaking spiritual living, and unbelief. Some examples of biblical characters that committed apostasy include Saul (1 Samuel 15:11), Amaziah (2 Chronicles 25: 14,27) and many disciples (John 6:66). Two high-profile Christian leaders recently went…

I was forced out of my PhD program because of my open faith in Jesus Christ

Many people speak about “having faith in Jesus,” but what exactly does this mean? The Bible uses the phrase “faith in Jesus” synonymously with belief in Jesus as Savior. Romans 3:22–23 says that “righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” When we place our faith in Jesus, we believe in Him, and God grants His righteousness to us. While as an undergrad at Salt Lake Community College in 1991, I gave a presentation in front of my humanities 101 class arguing Jesus Christ is the messiah, citing evidence for his resurrection. My professor literally cut me off during my presentation and told me it was over, that I couldn’t proceed. He later informed me that I was…

Watchman: Events Signaling the End The Beast Deceives The World Antichrist’s Ascent To Power

HNewsWire: Bible prophecy predicts that there will be several significant events signaling the End of the Age. These seminal events will occur just prior to the beginning of a period called Daniel’s 70th Week, and they will serve to alert everyone that the final days have come upon the world… Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 Weeks is an incredible prediction of the Lord’s future dealings with the nation of Israel. The angel Gabriel gave this prophecy to Daniel over 2,500 years ago (Dan. 9:24-27). The word translated “week” in this prophecy is actually the Hebrew word “shabua”, which means a period of 7 days or 7 years. In the context of this prophecy, it means 7 years; thus, according to Daniel, there are 70×7 or 490 years that encompass the entire prophecy. The last 7 year period, called Daniel’s 70th Week,…
