Man cannot bare his sin, but most don't believe this . . . so they die trying

Luke 23:26
And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

Revelation 18:2 . . 23
"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird . . . Thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

The work "sorceries" is "pharmakeia " i.e. medications, where we get pharmacy.
Merchants are business people, the great men are the most powerful, so this includes big pharma.

Genesis 17:17,19 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac (i.e. laughter, mockery)

Every time they heard the child laugh they would remember how they once laughed at God, and perhaps laugh at themselves instead. The descendants of Isaac can learn this lesson if they are born again.

Political activists want to speak truth to power.

God's activists want to speak truth to the powerless.

I have come to the conclusion that I have 3 enemies: unbelief, fear and pride.

I can beat them all through the Spirit of God. Doing so is my business, and His.

Many people agree with this, but they don't actually know God's business or have his talents, so they serve with man's love.

The meaning of life is to find your gift.
The purpose of life is to give it away

I have been watching NDE (near death experience) vids by people who are now believers trying to understand and be faithful to what they experienced . ... nde-ers have an experience of the love of God, like the prophets of the Old Testament did BUT the true NEW covenant is better than this . . . The love of God comes to DWELL in you by you receiving the Holy Spirit, as detailed in Acts 2v4, 10v44-48, see also 1 Corinthians 14v2, 4.*

"He that is without sin . . . let him first cast a stone."
Did Jesus practice what he preached?

He is the chief cornerstone.
He cast himself at her.
He cast himself for her at Calvary.
Through that she is able to "go and sin no more."

I'm not religious but I do like this one, I also like the one about praying in quiet corners. I can't abide preachers or people who try to convert others.

Public praying . . . Jesus withdrew to pray.

Why do people do it?
Mat 23:5-6 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: . .. . and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.*
