TWO ROADS…

Jesus speaks of a cross, of self-denial, suffering and death…

Trump speaks of Saving America, Peace, Security, and preserving your cushy, comfortable, and easy way of life…

Robert Frost wrote…
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth…

There are two distinctly different paths… Will you deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Jesus, or will you follow Trump and make peace, security, and the salvation of your comfortable lifestyle your passion and your goal?

2 Thessalonians 2:9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The truth spoken of here in 2 Thessalonians, is the truth in the Scripture concerning the end times and the great deception…

They reject the words of Jesus and believe Donald Trump…

They remain willfully ignorant of the biblical descriptions of the Man of Sin and the Beast, preferring to believe the Hollywood version…

They prefer Left Behind to Revelation…

They have never accepted Scripture as absolute truth…

When Donald Trump fulfills every single biblical description of the Man of Sin, speaks flatteries and blasphemies, and repeats the same lies over and over, they prefer his message to the Scripture because he is skilled in telling them what they desperately want to hear…

Heaven, to them, is a vague reality spoken of at funerals, but saving America and their cushy lifestyle is their overwhelming passion…

The whole idea of taking up their cross and dying to themselves is unacceptable and the idea that they might be called on to suffer or die for Christ is repulsive…

They always prefer the happy lie over the difficult and uncomfortable truth of Scripture…

Jesus is great for Sunday but Trump will save America and preserve their life of ease…

So, which path will you follow?

One leads to deception, great disappointment and an eternal Hell…
The other to a cross, suffering, death, and eternal life with the One who died on a cross to save your soul…

This is NOT the “Happy Gospel” of “Five Power Verses, Huge Offerings, and Material Wealth…”

This is the Gospel that cost ten Disciples, Paul the Apostle, and seventy million martyrs since their lives, while millions more were beaten, tortured and imprisoned…

This is the Gospel I preach….
