Scaffolding

Scaffolding never stays on a completed structure. When a building is being built cranes, scaffolding, temporary elevators, service roads and temporary utilities are throughout the site, but as the building reaches each state of completeness these temporary things are removed and fall away.

God has placed people in our lives to build us up for a season or to break us in order for us to be shaped in the way that God has intended for us to be in. This is why when God completes a phase of our construction we shouldn't long for the things that brought us there. People, homes, relationships or jobs that shape us were meant for that season until that phase of us is completed. Everyone that is in our lives will not make it to when we are completed. Some people will hurt us and some will love us and build us up, but sometimes they must fall away too. 

The jobs we lose, the homes we leave and the relationships that don't pan out were meant to transform us and not scar us. The trials were meant to train us and not to damage us. The pain was not meant to torture us, but meant to direct us to the healing Balm of Gilead. The tears were not meant to stain our faces, but to act as an offering to a greater reward. 

So when God removes our scaffolding we should rejoice that we are that much closer to our promise. God doesn't make mistakes.

Do you know the true history of Lent?

Coming from the Anglo-Saxon Lencten, meaning “spring,” Lent originated in the ancient Babylonian mystery religion. “The forty days’ abstinence of Lent was directly borrowed from the worshipers of the Babylonian goddess…Among the Pagans this Lent seems to have been an indispensable preliminary to the great annual festival in commemoration of the death and resurrection of Tammuz” (The Two Babylons). Tammuz was the false Messiah of the Babylonians—a satanic counterfeit of Jesus Christ! The Feast of Tammuz was usually celebrated in June (also called the “month of Tammuz”). Lent was held 40 days before the feast, “celebrated by alternate weeping and rejoicing.” This is why Lent means “spring”; it took place from spring to early summer. The Bible records ancient Judah worshipping this false Messiah: “Then He brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz” (Ezek. 8:14-15). This was a great abomination i

Christians Should Avoid Halloween

Halloween is the time of year when the world holds its festival to honor the powers of darkness -- the time when stores stock up on all the goodies that children seek as they make their way from door to door with their wails of "Trick or treat." Doting parents take pictures of them in their little costumes, dressed as witches, demons, monsters, and their favorite media characters. They no doubt think of how cute their kiddies look as they waddle about the neighborhood working their peculiar brand of blackmail. Humor aside, it's important that Christians consider the true meaning of this holiday called Hallowe'en. Whether or not Christians should be a part of these festivities is a legitimate question. It's one among many concerning how God's people are to relate to the affairs of the world. If we are called to be holy and separated unto Him, we should seek to walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise (Eph. 5:15). Many Christians think that Hallowe'

Post-Election Healing: Standing in the Wake of the Lying Prophets

But any prophet who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’ “But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord ?’ If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared. -- Deuteronomy 18:20‭-‬22 NLT I'm not a political person, but I can't help but recognize what's happening in the United States as the Supreme Court has just rejected a massive case trying to turn over millions of votes in four states to try and win the 2020 Presidential Election. What happens is what happens, but what concerns me the most is what I spoke about in a previous blog post. Many, many "major" and "minor" prophets have declared that Donald Trump would be reelected. They have been on TV, YouTube, Facebook, Parler, and many other mediums calling mi
