The rite of water baptism differs from our communion table in that the bread and the cup are typically taken as an assembly, in the privacy of the church. The water baptism, while sometimes out of view of witnesses, is typically in public; ever since the days of John the Baptizer. It is a public statement and depending on where one lives, it may require a significant amount of courage to make this open declaration. It takes bravery to stand up to an antichrist culture, and by this action of baptism declare that “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.”

Paul realized that Christians do not always understand how we can instantly slide from being obedient in the spirit, to sinning against the Holy Spirit; how our spiritual nature is duped and or overpowered by our fallen nature – that sinful nature – the old nature also known as “the flesh.” To help them understand, he makes it painfully clear that this nature is completely corrupt, beyond reconciliation, and without exception it is contrary to God and my quest for Christlikeness; my flesh is my enemy that wars against God and me. But Paul’s lesson does not stop there. He clearly teaches that the solution is found only in Christ and saves the sinner from all condemnation; all who pursue the life in the Spirit

In the days before the global flood of Noah, and then the Tower of Babel’s judgment, there were not many hindrances to Satan’s Global Influence. Yes, the flood filtered out the wicked, but the descendants of Noah soon found a way to fall under Satan’s global influence again at Babel’s tower, which brought God’s interference to slow the spread of Global evil. Today, Satan’s global influence has returned in full force through technology and the internet. The wishes of Hell are rapidly spread throughout earth at an unprecedented speed. One particular evil is the so called “transgender identity.” Our youth are succumbing to it, and others are advocating it or at the least tolerant of it. The position of God against this evil and the evil of Satan’s influence is that the righteous stand against it and make God’s view and influence known; be the salt of the earth and light of the world for those who will repent.

The Hebrew prophet Hosea was used by God to reflect the heart of God to a people determined to break God’s heart. As a loving parent who dotes over their child only to have that child grow up to turn against everything true, holy and decent. In Hosea’s case it was his wife. Today we are seeing a huge increase in children raised to love the Lord Jesus only to turn against Him as they enter their teen years, especially the girls! The sodomite activity of what Satan calls transgender, in all it darkness is turning our generation into a snack bar for Satan, who loves to gobble up souls.
