So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 261,727

With all this election posting on social media, one thing has caught my attention. A lot of people keep posting that Christ is King. If that is so, and I would agree with them, then the question I have is this. Do we realize what making Christ King means for our lives?

The first thing is that is Jesus is king, then he is king over all, whether they have accepted him or not.  This also means he is king over all our politics, business deals, education, and every other part of our lives. To have a king is different than a president or governor. A king has total authority to determine how we shall live. We have a choice to either submit in total to the kings will or live in adversity to him and risk the wrath of the judgment of the king. There is also the third party that gives lip service to the king but ignores his statutes. This is where I argue much of the church is today. We have sought peace from earthly kings and now believe we have elected one. So what now? Now we need to do what we should do regardless who sits in government. We need to cry out to the Lord, “We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. But now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve you.” (1 Sam. 12:10) “ And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. 15 But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king.” (1 Sam. 12:13-15)

We have chosen our earthly king, but he must submit to the authority of God for things to go well with us. But all the cards are not in his lap. It is us who should study to show ourselves approved. Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians that to be entrusted with the gospel means we must speak not to please man, but to please God. If we have been transformed by the gospel ourselves, then we live by God’s standards and we need to stop trying to change them to match our standards. We must seek out the standards of God and seek to live as salt and light, different from the world and quit assimilating into it. We must seek the standards of God because they will show us the error of our ways and cause us to repent. Repentance is a beautiful thing. It brings us to God and when he pours his mercy and grace on us we have true peace. In God’s kingdom there is freedom, true freedom, the kind that comes from serving a good king. One who does not lay heavy burdens on His people. But this king calls us to go into the world with truth, not with feel goodness but with truth that can sometimes be hard. But it has to begin with each of us individually. We must apply the truth of God to our own lives. Then apply it to our families and finally our churches. That is when we will see the freedom and peace, for ourselves and for our children.

So if you believe God is truly on the throne, then seek the king’s orders. He is a king who loves, a king who died for you, so give your life to serve him in how He commands.

    Hey there! If you’re in the process of remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, you know how crucial it is to find reliable countertop contractors. But with so many options out there, it can feel overwhelming to figure out which contractor is the best fit for your project. Well, don’t worry! I’ve got some tips to help you find top-quality contractors who will deliver the results you’re looking for.

    The first thing to look for is a national ranking. Contractors who are recognized on a national level have proven their skills and reliability over time. Countertop contractors who consistently appear in trusted directories often have a solid reputation and a history of happy clients. Whether you’re searching for someone local or a contractor with a wider reach, national rankings can help you narrow down your choices.

    Another key factor is reliability. You want a contractor who not only delivers great results but also communicates clearly, sticks to timelines, and provides excellent customer service. The best contractors will offer transparent pricing, work with high-quality materials, and make sure you’re satisfied with the final result.

    When you’re browsing directories, be sure to check reviews and ratings. A reliable contractor will have positive feedback from clients who praise their professionalism and the quality of their work. I’ve done the heavy lifting for you by compiling a list of the best and most reliable countertop contractors in my latest blog post.

    If you’re ready to hire a contractor that can take your countertops to the next level, don’t miss out on my blog. I’ll show you how to find the most skilled professionals in the industry, and make sure your project goes off without a hitch!

    A Doomsday ‘prepper’ turned his home into an explosives factory,
    set off devices in the garden and searched YouTube for explanations on how to
    make flamethrowers, 3D-printed guns and a sodium bomb, a
    court has heard.

    Simon Pilgrim, 41, was arrested following a police raid of his home within a multi-occupancy in King Alfred Street, Derby, in December
    last year.

    In a subsequent search of his property, officers found 13 viable improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in his room and the burnt remains of 40 more in the back garden.

    He is standing trial at the Old Bailey charged with three counts of possession of an explosive substance in relation to black powder, ‘rocket candy’ and pyrotechnic fuses.
    He also denies three counts of possession of a document for terrorist purposes.

    Police were forced to evacuate Pilgrim’s neighbours while they removed the devices from his home

    The court heard today that Pilgrim was asked prior to the search whether he had anything dangerous inside the house,
    to which he responded: ‘There’s an ottoman in my room.
    Inside it is a shoe box and inside that are small bangers.
    They just make noise.’ 

    But Emma Gargitter, prosecuting, suggested he had
    turned his room into a ‘storage space and workshop for manufacturing explosive devices’.

    Items seized included cut pipes and end caps, resin kits and moulds
    for making knife blades and knuckle dusters, a bag containing black clothes, a lock pick kit and elbow and knee pads, IED casing, body armour and a notebook of explosives
    recipes.

    Overall, there was around 307g of homemade explosives and
    the chemical precursors to make about 824g more, the
    court was told.

    Pilgrim allegedly began buying items linked to the manufacture of explosives in bulk
    from eBay and Amazon last August.

    Analysis of his phone allegedly uncovered three video clips of the defendant setting off IEDs of ever-increasing size and strength of detonation in his garden last autumn.

    He is also said to have shown an interest in ‘survival and self-defence’ through the purchase of
    a volume of the book 100 Deadly Skills: A Navy Seal’s Guide To Crushing Your
    Enemy, it was claimed.

    Pligrim also considered buying another book called How To Survive The End Of The World As We
    Know It: From Financial Crisis To Flu Epidemic, jurors heard.

    Shortly before the police raid, Pilgrim allegedly searched Google
    and YouTube for how to make items such as a flamethrower, 3D printed gun and sodium bomb.

    Some 50 houses were evacuated until the bomb squad ensured the area was safe

    Ms Gargitter said the possession of the the books 100 Deadly Skills, FM 5-31 Boobytrap and The Anarchist Cookbook were of ‘particular concern’ and the subject of three charges against him.

    Following his arrest, Pilgrim told police he was seeking to create a safer form of firework and
    that he wanted to open a firework store.

    He told officers: ‘When I do make explosive compounds…

    I make small amounts. I don’t want to make large amounts
    because that will get me into trouble.’

    In interview, Pilgrim also spoke of being a ‘prepper’ – an individual preparing for an impending
    war or disaster. 

    When asked by officers why a ‘prepper’ would be required to have IEDs, he answered:
    ‘Oh, no. That is something different.’

    He said the devices were meant to be an improvement on fireworks to make them safer and he never meant to harm anyone.

    Pilgrim went on to say he purchased a stab vest for paintballing
    and had taken an archery course to do more training.

    But Ms Gargitter told the court: ‘At the heart of this case lies his interest in explosives and explosive devices.

    ‘Evidence will be adduced to show that this interest was unregulated, dangerous and without a lawful purpose.

    ‘Whilst the Crown do not set out to prove Mr Pilgrim was intending to use these documents and explosives to cause injury to persons or damage to property, his
    activities did incur a significant risk that such harm might be caused, even if
    only inadvertently.’

    She said while Pilgrim may have been interested in fireworks, the evidence
    showed that late last year he had become ‘fascinated by weapons,
    self-defence and survival’.

    ‘Boredom, curiosity and a desire to simply experiment’ then led Pilgrim
    to take even greater risks, she suggested.

    The trial continues.
