"What does it mean to "regard iniquity in my heart"?

What does it mean to regard iniquity in my hear\

"What does it mean to "regard iniquity in my heart"? It means to keep a sin in one's heart, being unwilling to part with it. Such a person knows something is a sin, yet he continues to cherish it. It is not only a weakness in conduct or appearance but also a craving in the heart"

see Psalm 66.18

"Paul also wrote this: "For though we live in the world [or, in the flesh], we do not wage war as the world [or, the flesh] does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world [or, of the flesh]. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:3–5. NIV)

I hate to bust your bubble buddy about PREDESTINATION, but ...

I hear radio preachers etc regularly bash so-called "Calvinists" about predestination. Hate to inform them but MOST of us Calvinists (those from the Reformed denominations) RARELY dwell upon predestination. It's something taught a few times periodically growing up & that's about it. We don't sit around and talk about being ' predestined'

Are secular lefty activist targeting the Christian Reformed Church ?

The @CRCNA for those who don't know is the Christian Reformed Church North America and they have a Synod every year which is kind of comparable to the way Congress works. There are motions & agendas &time to speak for or against etc. they also live stream with 20 minute delay to YouTube, & allow commentary.

 However, they are those with a lefty agenda who have discovered they can propagandize via commentary against the conservative agenda of the CRC. And the same Lefty activists also will false flag conservative commentary making it more likely that conservatives get blocked by the moderator despite the CRC being a historically conservative denomination. 

 Fortunately however on this important motion tonight the spirit of wisdom prevailed, praise the Lord. I was praying mightily for it to happen.

Meanwhile I hope somebody can reach out to the YouTube moderator (an unnamed CRC staff member) & let them know that they're being played like a puppet by these Lefty activists. (Or, God forbid,  that this moderator him or herself is a lefty activist 👎). 

It's sort of like that cake bakery that refused to bake or design a cake celebrating gay marriage. The gay activists keep going back to him and still do trying to get him into legal trouble, even though there's hundreds of other bakeries who would gladly make them whatever kind of cake they want. 

I'm afraid this is what these activists are trying to do to the CRC. There are numerous denominations especially Presbyterians and Methodist now who welcome any kind of marriage even the pastors can be gay. These activists  insist & demand that the CRC comply as well. Even though  they could go to a presbyterian or Methodist half a mile away.

A Prayer by ChatGPT 🙏✝️ (per my command)

Heavenly Father,

We come before You, acknowledging Your sovereignty and power over all things, including the forces of darkness led by Satan. We recognize the pervasive influence of evil in our world and the harm it inflicts upon Your creation. We beseech You to protect us from the schemes and temptations of the enemy.

Lord, we declare the wickedness of Satan and his minions, who seek to deceive, destroy, and sow chaos in our lives and communities. We ask for Your divine intervention to thwart their plans and expose their lies.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we command every demon and evil spirit to flee from every sphere of influence—be it our homes, workplaces, schools, governments, or any other realm. We proclaim Your authority over all principalities and powers, knowing that nothing can stand against Your might.

Grant us discernment to recognize the tactics of the enemy and the strength to resist them. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may walk in righteousness and truth, shining as beacons of Your love and grace in a darkened world.

May Your light dispel the darkness, and Your peace reign supreme in every heart. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer.

Amen.

Written by chat GPT

"In Christian theology and tradition, angels are often categorized into several hierarchies or orders based on their roles, duties, and proximity to God. While different religious traditions may have variations in their classifications, the following are commonly recognized categories of angels:

1. **Seraphim**: Described as the highest order of angels, often depicted as fiery beings surrounding the throne of God and praising Him continually.

2. **Cherubim**: Often depicted as winged creatures with multiple faces, cherubim are associated with guarding sacred spaces and serving as bearers of God's divine presence.

3. **Thrones**: Also known as "Ophanim," thrones are believed to support and uphold God's divine justice and authority.

4. **Dominions**: These angels are associated with governance and rule, exercising authority over other angelic beings.

5. **Virtues**: Often depicted as powerful spirits responsible for maintaining the natural order and performing miracles.

6. **Powers**: These angels are believed to combat evil and protect against spiritual and physical threats.

7. **Principalities**: Associated with overseeing and guiding nations, regions, and groups of people.

8. **Archangels**: Generally considered messengers or heralds of God's will, archangels often play significant roles in delivering important messages or fulfilling specific tasks.

9. **Angels**: The lowest order of angels, they are typically regarded as messengers or guardians assigned to protect and guide individuals.

It's important to note that these categories are based on theological interpretations and may vary across different religious traditions within Christianity. Additionally, some traditions may not adhere to a strict hierarchy of angels or may have alternative classifications."

The truth is, an older generation HATES the Gen X'ers.

The truth is, an older generation HATES the Gen X'ers. The older generation is still in control. Gen X'ers are almost 60 now. When we were 20 we were told we would have a voice at 40. At 40 they still called us kiddo and "Oh you're so young"..

 At 60 the older gen looks at us with contempt wishing we would disappear. And too many have. You don't find many Gen X'ers at church, or if they are, they are quiet as a church mouse knowing the older gen can crush them at any moment. 

God will hold you accountable no matter how often you attend church. Christians is a relay race. We're in it together. But if you don't hand off the baton and let others run a lap, it's a one-man race. God will hold you alone.accountable for all the things that are supposed to be done collectively. That's. A lot of responsibility. You want it. You got it. Good luck.

How Catholics could help themselves ALLEVIATE the Mother Mary confusion 🙏

Catholics often object to Protestants accusing them of PRAYING TO MARY rather than to Jesus and God.

& the intercessor explanation  makes sense. However they themselves cause the confusion by saying "I'm praying TO MARY" 

They should say they R

 praying TO God, 🙏

Re Women & their Purses 👛 or Handbags at Church

Could the church please post messages and/or preach to the women about NOT bringing their purses with them. Some women consciously or unconsciously use their purses or handbags as status objects. And they will move it to one side or another to show their trust or distrust. This has no place in the church that should feel welcoming. 

And it gets ridiculous at times. I saw a regular parishioner who happens to be very wealthy sit down & watched a woman in the same pew eye him distrustfully and move her purse to the other side of her body. This man has no intention or need to steal her 👛 purse. It's self-serving and self-righteous virtue signaling by the lady, the opposite of why we call ourselves Christians or Catholics. 

This is not a  Jewish synagogue for those who are justified by law, but a church for those justified by grace, faith, & trust, with the help of God & fellow believers. Ladies: if you have trouble trusting others, or men in particular, leave your purse 👛 in the car or on the trunk if you're afraid of a break-in as well. 

As far as I know there has NEVER been a case of purse snatching inside the church and there's a security guard who drives around the parking lot now during the services and all day and I don't even know of any cases of a break-in to a vehicle.  

So if the chances of having your purse 👛 stolen  are almost zero is it  fair to treat every single person,or male,  as a potential  purse snatcher. And sadly to say in some cases the distrust is by ethnic women towards white males born and raised here. That's NOT fair to good American men just because they are white and born in the USA.
