Martus for Truth

As I saw one poster express online, don’t just talk to God; talk with Him. In other words, have conversation with Him, because He wants to have conversation with you. Therefore, “listen” for that thin silence within and maintain peace within so you can sense God communicating with you. Talk with Him. #MaintainPeaceWithin, #ListenForThatThinSilence, #TalkWithHim

Today I find myself keeping a close eye on my bank account. I believe I am being threatened by scammers, but I am trusting the Lord, not them. #TrustTheLord, #WalkTheNarrowPath, #DontTrustScammers

No matter how many projects you have, no matter how many jobs you have, no matter how large a family you have, make sure you rest—rest each day—and rest in Him. #Rest, #RestEachDay, #RestInHim

Are you seeking Jesus, or fleeing from Him? My advice is to seek Him out. #ESV, #NASB, #SeekHimOut

I do what I do because I love Jesus. The question, then, becomes, “Why do you do what you do?” If what you do is to spew hatred and anger and divisiveness you do NO ONE any good AT ALL, so, again, why do you do what you do? #BecauseHeKnowsMe, #BecauseHeLovesMe, #BecauseILoveHim

That is an important question. The third from last line in my hymn, “His Love”, has the protagonist stating that a chariot waits for them. Well, what waits for you? #AChariot, #SomethingElse, #WhatWaitsForYou

In keeping with what the Lord gives me, so I give to you. #HaveFaith, #KeepGoing, #DontGiveUp

As you go through life, are you paying attention? Are you just drinking down whatever comes into your spirit, or are you testing those spirits—which, by the way, the Bible DOES command you to do? Are you walking faithfully with the one true and living God, or are you slipping slowly into heresy? Don’t just trust the spirits—because not all of them are sent from God (some are sent by the Enemy). #RedLight, #GreenLight, #PayingAttention

How often do you feel the need for God and yet have NO IDEA of what to say to Him—indeed, have no idea of what is bothering you? My friend, don’t fret, because, “Even the darkness is not dark” to Him. God sees, and God knows. #InAMirrorDimly, #GodSees, #GodKnows

What influence are you having on your surroundings? Is it good? Would it please Jesus? Sometimes a Jesus-pleasing influence on others can involve a not so pleasant experience for you. Keep going, though. If you are His, Jesus is with you through all of it. What is your influence? #JesusPleasing, #TrialsCanGlorifyChrist, #YourInfluence

Instead of pursuing debauchery and insanity (while claiming to be “woke”), why not befriend faithfulness and pursue Truth? #PursueTruth, #CastOffInsanity, #BefriendFaithfulness

How many—who claim Christian faith—actually have genuine faith? #GenuineFaith, #JustPretending, #ProsecuteYourselves

When you go around trying to define truth as whatever you desire, you’re meandering down Insanity Road. #DefineTruth, #DiscoverTruth, #JesusChristIsTheTruth

Even without doing any editing for length, this video came out to 5 minutes, 55 seconds, and 5 frames. 5 is the Biblical number for grace (undeserved favor). I am ALWAYS in need of grace—and so are you. Both Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20 command us to never bare false witness (in other words, to never lie). In the end, lying only ever gets you into trouble. #ExodusTwentySixteen, #DeuteronomyFiveTwenty, #NeverLie

In your life, what was that changing event that brought you to Christ? #DontGiveUp, #ILoveYou, #TheTreasure

When you seek to glorify God, expect spiritual battle. #GlorifyingGod, #SpiritualBattle, #ExpectSpiritualBattle

When you speak truth for Christ you WILL suffer. Christ said you will—and you will. There is no avoiding it. Those who attack and slander and insult you, heaping invective on your name, are those who hate the truth. Such hatred is not bounded by political party. In fact, that last person who responded MIGHT have exposed themselves—by their own hateful, insulting reaction—as one of the ones who engaged in the slandering of American Citizens, including me. #Politics, #Slander, #Truth

Don’t fall for narratives that keep you angry—and don’t seek to keep others angry, because that is sin. When you seek anger you are not walking with Christ. Seek peace, and walk under the wings of the Lord. #SeekPeace, #DoNotSeekAnger, #WalkUnderTheWingsOfTheLord

Sometimes patience is “easy”. Sometimes it’s not. Sometimes you have to take it to the Nth degree. #Patience, #Easy, #TheNthDegree

What kind of question is that? They've found it! No, actually, they have not. Go visit the Ark Encounter! You can see it for yourself! No, really, you cannot. Noah was not commanded to build a ship. He was commanded to build a box—a hugely enormous elaborate box, certainly—but a box, nevertheless. #Noah, #God, #Ark

Sometimes things don’t happen as quickly as you would like, but with patience, waiting on His timing, the blessing He has for you will come. #Patience, #WaitingOnTheLord, #HisTiming

Beyond the generic Christian call, each of us has a particular, peculiar, and unique task from Christ. We are not carbon-copy robots that are the same as each other—neither is our individual task from Christ. Each of us has a particular task. What is yours? What time is it? #JesusIsCalling, #AreYouListening, #WhatTimeIsIt

If you want Truth make sure it is the Truth that you are listening to. #Truth, #PursuingTruth, #JohnFourteenSix

It is hard to be shocked when you know what is coming. Therefore, try to be ready. Be walking with Jesus. #BeReady, #UnderHisWings, #WalkingWithJesus

Being a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, I have always been rather disappointed that Commander Data’s inborn curiosity never drove him to ask his best friend in the whole galaxy, “Who is your designer?”. But I can ask you, “Who’s your designer?” #CommanderData, #HisDesigner, #YourDesigner
