What I find incredible is how many professed Christian writers refuse to use Scripture in their writing, and in reading what they write a person is hard-pressed to know the writer is a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not only in their not referencing Scripture, as I don’t in everything I write, but the positions they take, their words used — how the writer is identified in their tone, their words. As to where they truly stand and the path they truly take.
Any true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, a true child of God KNOWS the world has NEVER been sane. Not really. The people of the world, each one of us is a part of the FALLEN world. Fallen because we began in sin, we’re ALL SINNERS. No one is without sin within them. We are part of a perverse and corrupt tribe known as human beings. Having been created in perfection we determined we would rather obey evil. Obey selfish desire. Obey the spirit of lies and rebellion, the father of lies, the devil. And disobey God and the one thing He asked — and as a result people are tainted. Sinners. Fallen. And even the whole of creation groans under the sin of man and woman.
So, there never has been “sanity” in the world only the appearance thereof as people delude themselves, are told they are inherently good, they are gods themselves. The same original lie spoken with honey-dripping seductive lips in the Garden of Eden. This is a 180-degree twist on the Gnosticism of Paul’s time and the heresies that were going on in the church at Colosse, which is as timely that Paul’s letter could be written to any professed church in 2021. The gnostics then in their false teachings taught that all of the material world was evil. And it was through “emanations” and spirit world emanations that made things evil or good. That angels determined the events in the heavens. So on. Today’s false teachers and gnostics within the Church in their leading so many astray teach everything in the world is good. That people are inherently good. And just as in Colosse with their foremost heresy being besides adopting Eastern religious beliefs, legalism, mysticism, astrology, and the like — they refused to believe and acknowledge that the Lord Jesus Christ IS GOD. Jesus IS GOD. Jesus always was and will be. Jesus is not an emanation, a creation, a good man, a nice teacher but — NO! Jesus IS GOD. Fully God. And in His time on earth, living, to be murdered, to rise from the dead — He also was fully man.
One of the most troubling heretical teachings in Colosse at Paul’s time, as well as in our present time is that people refuse to acknowledge, BELIEVE that Jesus IS GOD!
He is.
And unless you believe that? Accept that? Know it in your heart and soul?
You are hardpressed to be truly saved my dear friend, visitor, neighbor, or person who just happened to find themselves here.
Each true believer, every born anew and regenerated by the Holy Spirit true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ ought to be aware, fluent enough in the Word of God to see, hear, know we are living in the last of the last days. The spiritual war is escalating and intensifying by the hour. The day. The night.
And we are living the words of Romans 1 in the Biblical times in which we find ourselves.
That’s what I see, hear, smell, and believe according to what I see all around everywhere.
The people have been “given over” to reprobate — wicked, unrighteous, turned from God sin consumed minds and lives.
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Romans 1:16-32 — English Standard Version
We were here to live and witness Romans 1. To live and see and know we’re living in this Biblical time when the people of the world lost their minds having been given over to…

We Were Here When Medical Science Lost Its Mind
August 01, 2021

One day, when sanity returns to the world, we will be able to tell a future generation, “We were here when science lost touch with reality. We were here when the medical profession lost its mind. We were here when feelings displaced biology.”
Yes, we will get to tell the shocking story unless, of course, our society completely falls apart and self-destructs. Otherwise, we will get to bear witness to these days of societal madness and insanity.
Not that long ago, there was a time in our history when lobotomies were considered “miracle cures” for mental illness.
As explained in a 2011 BBC report, “Surgeons would drill a pair of holes into the skull, either at the side or top, and push a sharp instrument – a leucotome – into the brain.
“The surgeon would sweep this from side to side, to cut the connections between the frontal lobes and the rest of the brain.”
Indeed, “These spikes once represented the leading edge of psychiatric science. They were the operative tools in lobotomy, also known as leucotomy, an operation which was seen as a miracle cure for a range of mental illnesses.”
How do we view this barbaric procedure today?
Another website lists, “9 Terrifying Medical Treatments from 1900 and Their Safer Modern Versions.”
First on the list was “Radium Water,” with this explanation: “Before radioactivity was fully understood, naturally occurring radium was lauded for its seemingly otherworldly benefits. Water was kept in radium-laced buckets, and people would drink the tainted liquid to cure everything from arthritis to impotence. Of course, this was an awful idea, and when people started to drop dead from this miracle water, the connection was made. Now, non-radioactive prescription drugs are used to combat arthritis and impotence.”
Today, however, we have taken things even further. Not only are we giving perfectly healthy 18-year-old girls full mastectomies. Not only are we putting pre-pubescent children on potentially dangerous hormone blockers, based entirely on how they feel about themselves. But we are also trashing biological realities in the name of ideology.
Perception now trumps biological sex. Feelings trump science.
As WebMD tweeted on July 30, “Sex should be removed as a legal designation on the public part of birth certificates, the American Medical Association (AMA) said Monday.”
The tweet was linked to an article on the WebMD website, which stated that, “Requiring it [meaning, one’s sex] can lead to discrimination and unnecessary burden on individuals whose current gender identity does not align with their designation at birth, namely when they register for school or sports, adopt, get married, or request personal records.”
In other words, when it comes to biological realities, we should kiss them goodbye – that is, if those realities contradict how you feel about yourself.
In fact, we should just kiss those realities goodbye in general, since, after all, the whole gender binary is oppressive.
That explains headlines like this, from the New York Post, July 31: “Harvard lecturer blasted by colleague for defending existence of biological sex.”
As reported by Fox, “Harvard lecturer Carole Hooven took heat from her own colleague after an appearance on Fox News this week in which she asserted that biological sex is real and defended the continued use of terms like ‘pregnant women’ and ‘male and female.’
“The ideology seems to be that biology really isn’t as important as how somebody feels about themselves, or feels their sex to be,’ Hooven told ‘Fox & Friends’ Wednesday [July 28]. ‘The facts are that there are in fact two sexes — there are male and female — and those sexes are designated by the kind of gametes we produce.”
So much for scientific facts.
Today, we know better. Today, we know that men can menstruate. And conceive, carry, and deliver babies too. We also know that women can have penises.
We also know that anyone, like author J. K. Rowling, who would insist that only women can menstruate, is a hateful, small-minded, bigot.
We also know that well-researched, compassionately-written books like Ryan Anderson’s When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment, should be banned from Amazon. What dangerous ideas Anderson is espousing! How dare he argue that biology is not bigotry. Oh, the shame!
Yes, my friends, God helping us, the day will come when we will tell a future generation about this madness, about this day in which those who with the nerve and commitment to challenge this ideological insanity were marginalized and punished. And hopefully, by that time, we will have learned how to help trans-sufferers find wholeness from the inside out.
For now, we have to ride out the storm, keep our courage, bless those who curse us, and preserve our own sanity.
Stay the course, my friend.
