BACK to BASICS

 

Psalm 11:3

King James Version

3 If the foundations be destroyed, 

what can the righteous do?


Why are churches in decline today?

Why are people throwing out Christian values?

Why do people question the divinity of GOD?

Why don't people believe the Bible?

It's all been prophesied:

2 Timothy 3:1-7

King James Version

3 This know also, 

that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, 

false accusers, incontinent, fierce, 

despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.


2 Peter 3:3-4

King James Version

3 Knowing this first, 

that there shall come in the last days scoffers, 

walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, 

Where is the promise of his coming? 

for since the fathers fell asleep, 

all things continue as they were 

from the beginning of the creation.


People are not reminded of how it was during the time of Noah.

Either that, or they were not taught it, from day one.

Perhaps, many are not born again.

Or, if they're born again, they've backslid.

Others could be indifferent.

And yet the Rapture looms, just around the corner.

We need the SPIRIT of GOD to understand Scripture.

And to believe in the urgency of the times.

Matthew 24:37-39

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, 

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


2 Peter 3:5-6

King James Version

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, 

that by the word of God the heavens were of old, 

and the earth standing out of the water 

and in the water:

6 Whereby the world that then was, 

being overflowed with water, 

perished:


People also don't realize what GOD has reserved for the righteous.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


And what GOD has reserved for the wicked.

Job 38:22-23

King James Version

22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? 

or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

23 Which I have reserved 

against the time of trouble, 

against the day of battle and war?


2 Peter 3:7

King James Version

7 But the heavens and the earth, 

which are now, 

by the same word are kept in store, 

reserved unto fire 

against the day of judgment 

and perdition of ungodly men.


Revelation 16:21

King James Version

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, 

every stone about the weight of a talent: 

and men blasphemed God 

because of the plague of the hail; 

for the plague thereof was exceeding great.


As born again workman, it's my duty to alert you to Bible prophecy.

And to the teachings of JESUS.

As well as how churches can be revitalized.

That we may be worthy of the LORD.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


A practical approach was given by Ken Ham:

"How about sharing the gospel 

the way that God does it in the Bible...

by starting at the beginning."

(Sin and death. 

Promise of a Savior.)


That means, we start with the basics.

Ham says to read Genesis 1 to 11.

That becomes our foundation for everything.

Those chapters answer everything we need or want to know.

But, like Ham says, study of Genesis was taken out of schools.

That's why generations X, Y, and Z have become atheists.

It's time to go back to basics.

Begin where it all began.

GENESIS.

That's how we can revitalize churches.

That was what SPIRIT led me to this morning.

Urged to write about it, soon as I woke up.

Talk about 

"BACK to BASICS".


Amazingly, the Ken Ham video I was studying before bedtime, fit right in.

SPIRIT merely picked up where we left off from last night.

Now, you have it this morning.

Read Genesis 1-11.
