Salt of the earth

“You are the salt of the earth. But what if the salt goes flat? How can you restore its flavor? Then it is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”(Matt. 5:13)

The salt of the earth (God’s people who give the flavor of Christ and of good to the world and preserve it from destruction) has been going flat at a rapid rate. It is one of the greatest reasons for the terrible things that have happened in our country (USA) and all over the world.

The fables that we were warned about (2 Timothy 4:3-4) are being so widely loved. Most in Christendom are now living presumptuously and looking down at the devil in their sins as they do so. (Jude 8-19) Instead, they should be looking up at God who is ever faithful and who has told us the real truth about sin and the devil.(1 John 3:8)It is so bad now that it is almost to the point that the earth has almost nothing to preserve it from complete decay.

As we go rancid (Christendom) the number of evil doers grows and grows, and the evil of the earth become more powerful in the world. Worship of Satan, and worship of the things of the world, grows and grows. The harlot Church grows and grows. The Great Apostasy from Christ overwhelms Christendom. And because of this God’s chastisement is not far off.

The victims of the sins of sodomy, pedophilia, rape of children and murder of children, abortion of the unborn, and the like call out for God’s wrath. And God’s wrath is coming.

We Christians are set apart from the world by God to preserve it and give flavor to it. But most of us are persisting in unbelief. There is a lack of faith. There is great compromise with the world. There is great heeding of the counterfeit spirit posing as the Holy Spirit.

There is great compromise with evil in Christendom. Sound doctrine is not tolerated. Evil doctrines are held up high. Modernism rules the day. It rules the day even with those who should know better.

Jesus died for us, not so we can commit sins, not so there is no need for repentance and for forgiveness. He died for us so that no matter how great our sin we can turn to Him and find His grace and use it to stop sinning and find in Him forgiveness and the strength never to commit sin again. But as each day goes by fewer and fewer of us have this kind of faith in Jesus.

Most true is that there are not many left in Christendom who are willing to live the Christian faith apart from the pollution of it by Satan. And there are few, very few men of God for God to even reach to tell God’s people and the world the truth of what has happened and is happening.

The divine favor is an insistent and urgent call to return to God and to a life pleasing to God. But are there even any at present of the very elect left who believe this?

More and more each day, unto whole denominations, are attaching themselves to the sins of abortion and acceptance of homosexual acts and even the abomination unto God of same sex marriages, separating themselves from God with the unforgivable sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

“The grace of God has appeared, offering salvation to all men. It trains us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age as we await our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of the great God and of our Savior Christ Jesus.”(Titus 2: 11-13)

May you let this passage of the Word of God penetrate your soul, your heart and your mind in this time of fables and false eternal security in Christ which has so many trapped in the sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

The earth is losing its flavor. The remnant of God, the few of us who are left who are open to His voice, we must be vigilant. We can and we must have a filial obedience and fear of God. ( 1 Peter 1: 13-21)

Should any of us sin gravely, our return to God can admit of no delay. Many are the warnings of Jesus and His apostles. “The Son of Man is coming at the hour you least expect.(Matt. 24: 44) This is true of both our death and of the Lord’s second coming. Heed the parable of the ten virgins or that of the silver pieces. Be ever ready to meet the Lord, not in a state of sin and compromise with the devil and the world but having a function with a sense of right and wrong and a personal responsibility before God.

“The day of the Lord is coming like a thief in the night. Just when people are saying ‘Peace and security’ (that is what is being said in the fables), ruin will fall on them.(1 Thess. 5: 2-3 ) We are not to be caught off guard like a thief, or asleep drunk in our sins. We are to stay honest (in a state of grace) and awake and sober in Christ!

It is of great hurt to our Lord Jesus that most in Christianity in this hour are being foolish and un-sensible. It is to the point now that most Christians need to change. Yet how can these many who need to do so ever come to do as they blaspheme God?

God will have His remnant. God will find us when He comes, whether at our death or at His second coming, not as a worthless salt giving a horrible flavor to the earth, but as dependable salt giving the taste of salvation in Christ. We will listen to Him and not the counterfeit posing as Him. And we will do this unto ridicule, even death.

Many in Christendom are now giving a false witness to Christ with no fear of God. They are doing this feeling at peace and secure in their sin. And because there are so few who are willing to speak up about this, those of us who do speak up and tell the truth of the apostasy from Christ run the risk of being hated as tormenters by almost all.(Rev.11:10)

When the salt of the earth goes flat then all the earth has an easy time being godless and rejecting God’s rebukes.

Whether or not you will hear it or not, I give another warning in Christ to you men of God going on and on with preaching the false doctrines- those which are devious, and to those of you intentionally misleading the people of God by administering the Holy Eucharist to those who are prohibited from receiving it as they stand self-condemned in mortal sin for their advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion, or sodomy and other abominations to God: Ignore God’s warnings of the unhappy consequences of sin for yourselves and for those you are responsible for in your leadership and you set yourselves in stone as cowards and traitors to the faith. You will not like your true fate upon your death.(Rev.21:8)

Yet, there are those of you who will go on doing what you are warned against as you say: “Christ is peace. Christ is security.” But woe to you who are of this Christian lot! And woe to all who follow after you!

Woe to all who, to the end, are eager to do what is wrong! Woe to all who, to the end, are cowards to do what is right! Woe to all in Christendom who are for the Lord a salt of the earth which is flat!

There is to be an end to the Word of God being perverted without rebuke. There is to be an end to the Scriptures being misused without rebuke. There is to be an end to God’s people in great numbers changing the unchangeable and to their living wrong without rebuke.

We were warned of the mass apostasy.(2 Thess. 2:3)And truly the spirit of the anti-Christ is hard at work in the Church. We were even told of God’s rebuke to come.(Malachi 3; 1-4)Yet, if one acts, not to please men, but according to the Holy Spirit at work following His lead, and according to the reality of the Lord’s presence in His Church to warn and rescue, that person is not sought out and put before the people. Such a person is instead cast out and kept from the people. Why is that do you suppose?

I have written many men of God as He asked, and none reached out as they should have. Not even one that I thought had a great calling in the Lord.

The calling I have in Christ is a very hard and dangerous calling. But who refuses the Lord God Almighty when he says do this or do that?

Blessed is every man of God, and every other Christian, who goes on with God acting on behalf of His people in the power of the Holy Spirit. Your reward will be great. So don’t be intimidated.

In serving the Lord as He wills in this last hour of the last days you will suffer great hardship. For there is great greed among the people of God for the love of a good life and for a false faith and a false security in Christ. As few want to take the narrow road, and most have abandoned righteousness, you will be hated for what you have to say true to the Lord. No, it will not be easy. But you can do it. You can remain true to God. He is with you.

We have direct and confident access to God now through the person of Jesus Christ who rules God’s House as High Priest. But we must approach Him with sincerity and faith. It is for us to lay aside every human encumbrance of sin which clings to us and persevere in running the race which lies ahead with our eyes fixed on Jesus, who inspires and perfects our faith.

People of God we must not sin against God and one another. Yet so many of us are doing just that and are doing it in the name of Christ!

One example, one which many men of God are less than honest about, is that we must not covet the others wife or husband, married or divorced. We cannot put asunder what God has joined together. What is happening is that the souls of many of our children are being destroyed. This is being done as many Christians are thanking God for their sinfulness, for their second and third spouse in adultery.

Are their exceptions? Yes, there are. Not all are lying to God and themselves as they believe their marriages to have had no real foundation on Christ but rather on deception. But many are. And they are praising Jesus wanting to be blind to the real effects of it all on their souls, and on the souls of their children, and on the souls of the rest of society. This is just but one example of how steeped in sin are so many hoping to attain the vision of God while remaining sinners.

May all God’s people repent who are committing whatever sin they are committing. But along with that repentance must also be repentance of the sin of presumption by so many caught up in the false doctrine which has you hoping for more than you deserve in Christ who is all merciful but who cannot forgive the sinner pretending to Him and give a salvation in Him which cannot be had without personal co-operation with God and His grace.

The Holy Spirit, the drawing principle of action, never moves one to believe wrong and to commit an act of sin. This is blasphemy!

I have this to say in Christ to the many of you in Christendom trying to hide sin with the Blood of Jesus, saying you are saved but who are in danger of existing in hell for all eternity: You must come to apply the Blood of Jesus to your darkened souls before it is too late. God will forgive you. He will also give you abundant graces to help you live a better life.

In those of us who will persevere in Christ there is Fear of the Lord.

Hope that is weak in God belittles God, either His almighty power or His infinite goodness. This does not mean that we should not have a wholesome fear of losing our soul. But the fear should stem from lack of confidence in ourselves, not lack of confidence in God.

If Lucifer could reject God’s grace, then we also have within us the capacity for failure-but the failure will not be God’s. It is only a stupid person who will say in repenting of sin, “Oh God, I am so ashamed of being so weak!” The hopeful person would say, “Oh God, I am so ashamed of forgetting how weak I am!”

As saints of God, we have the utmost distrust of our own strength and the utmost confidence in God.

There are those of us Christians still with the tasty flavor of Jesus to give this world, who will endure the refining and purifying of God. But also, there are those among us who are flat and who will not. And they are the majority at this time. Beware of the rebel cry in God’s House!

Do not follow the lead of those men of God devoid of the Holy Spirit and leading charges against God. Wisdom from above be yours. For God is speaking. He does have His messengers. And there are those opposing what God is saying.

If the Church (the people of God) seems to be “thrown out and trampled underfoot”, for example, prayer is thrown out in the public schools, or, in the political process you have Christian politicians disavowing that their Christianity should affect their decisions because of a false understanding of the separation of Church and state, those of us Christians bent on living the gospel will be more and more openly and repeatedly mocked in the secular media. And this should speak to the great need of most Christians to repent.

If a man calling himself a Christian who holds a high office in the government marries two gay men how is this to be looked at? This man is excommunicated from God. Those who condone his evil doing and follow his lead with acceptance of what is an abomination to God likewise are lovers of their own false consciences rather than the one God gave them. They too are lovers of pleasure rather than God, whether that pleasure is a pat on the back by many caught up in the great apostasy, or it is the sexual pleasure from the doing the sin of sodomy itself. I say this, not so as this man and others be condemned, but that they come to Salvation (Christ). They already stand in God’s sight as condemned. Salvation is the goal. May they come to repent before physical death catches them in their sin, or dementia.

I speak for God on this matter. I do this in my call of the Lord God Almighty. It is for you to discern. But I warn you to do so based on sound doctrine and not the false doctrine being preached as true. Be careful that you are not thrown out by God as rancid salt.

Jesus foretold this would happen if the Church lost its flavor. If we become watered down with secularism, lukewarm in sin, and flat with apathy, we become, “good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”

Hear the truth if you have ears to do so! God does not want it to startle us with the truth of how the salt of the earth has been going flat. He wants it to wake us up. He does not want us depressed. He does want us to awake in Him and not asleep in sin.

The devil wants to sing you to sleep. He does not want men of God or any Christian in trouble to be brought back to their senses. And certainly, the evil one does not want anyone brought back to God. God is sounding His trumpet, interrupting the devil’s lullaby.

In the early times of the Church even unbelievers took Christians seriously. “Great respect was paid to them.”(Acts4:33)“The people held them in great esteem.“(Acts5:13) Today, we Christians as a whole are scorned, even as so many of us for the most part have embraced evil. Though we only preserve a shadow of full and authentic Christianity the Devil, and the world, still fears us. Open those ears wide!

But who wants to hear a true word from God? Yet it must be said. It is being said. God is not silent.

Confess! Repent! Be renewed in the Holy Spirit! Get back to giving that flavor to the earth which is of God! All of you who need to do so!

“Be earnest about it, therefore, Repent!”(Revelation3:19)

Those of us who are true to God, and only God, we will merit serious persecution rather than be dismissed as irrelevant to contemporary life.

Jesus is our all,

Your brother,
