Caring is the Hallmark of Being a Christian

1st Peter 5:6-7, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
The Bible said that people would become very selfish in the Last Days,
committing all sorts of sins against their neighbors, not caring, lacking
natural affection, being phony and hypocritical, quitters and liars, judging
and condemning, hurting others, and yet having a form of religious devotion.
2nd Timothy 3:1-2, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times
shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy...” I
think it was Mark Twain who said he never envied the lion tamer, because at
least he is safe in the cage with the lion from people.
Jesus foretold that there would be much division in the last Days. Luke 12:53, “The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.” Are we not living in these perilous times of woeful selfishness, sin and division within our families, churches and communities?
Life these days has become about people hurting people. One man wrote to me and said, “people equal pain.” I see a lot of people getting hurt—having their feelings hurt, being shunned away or gossiped about, being cheated financially (even out of their home), being hurt by a loved one or a spouse, a sudden divorce, problems at work, cruel words, et cetera. There are a thousand ways in which people hurt each other. This is heathendom.
The Bible teaches that we ought to care as God cares. Philippians 2:4-5, “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” This means being considerate of the feelings, schedule, property, and person of others. If someone stumbles in their speech or says something stupid, you should never says something unkind like, “Duh!” That is the sinful way of the world, putting each other down continually. Someone once told me that men bond by one-liners. Yeah, and they murder each other over them too! The Christian way is to always season your words with grace. Colossians 4:6, “Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”
This means not to waste opportunities to lead men toward God with our words. When we talk, we either lead men closer to or drive them farther away from God. Most men talk filthy and have dirty minds toward the opposite sex. That is heathendom and we ought not participate with filthy communication. Colossians 3:8, “But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.” The Bible teaches that life is short and we'll be in eternity before we know it (James 4:14). We are just strangers and pilgrims passing through here on earth (Hebrews 11:13; 1st Peter 2:11). Hence, we should redeem the time. Ephesians 5:16, “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Colossians 4:5, “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.”
The Bible says that most believers don't care about the things of Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:20-21, “For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.” Philippians 2:4-5 tell us that the mind of Christ is to think about others. Are they saved? What can we do to help others? Hardly anyone thinks about others. It is entirely a matter of faith and caring. No Christian who doesn't care is right with God.
As Christians, we should care about the individual as much as the group. I realized when I started this website that most people would go away angry or laughing, but I didn't make this website for them. I made this website with God's help and guidance to reach out to the INDIVIDUAL. It's that one person in a hundred that I am here to help by Gods grace.
“Without concern we're not Christlike. Without concern we're not Christlike. Ah, watch yourself. ... Now your greatest need as a Christian, and of every Christian, is a concern for lost and dying people. Without concern we're not Christlike. You have no claim to Christlikeness unless you're concerned about others. Without concern we're not obeying the Scriptures.”
—Pastor Lee Roberson (1909-2007), from the needful sermon, The Revival America Needs.
Jesus taught for Christians to reach out to the least of these (Matthew 25:40-45)—to seek the lost, to visit the prisons, to bind up that which is broken, heal the sick, feed the hungry, lead those who are astray, give drink to the thirsty...
Matthew 25:40-45, And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.”
Caring is the hallmark quality, character trait, of being a Christian who is right with God.
To clarify, we are saved by faith alone in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9), and not by any self-righteous works of our own (Isaiah 64:6). You don't have to care to go to Heaven, you just need to acknowledge your guilt of sin and believed on the Lord jesus Christ. That's it! There are no self-righteous works that anyone needs to do to go to Heaven; and if you add any, you won't go to heaven (like the Roman Catholics, because they are trusting in the flesh of man to save them). Jeremiah 17:5, “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.”
Catholics are taught that their Church will save them; but it cannot. They think that water baptism is a sacrament, the door into the Catholic Church, the initial means of salvation; but they are all going to Hell for trusting in those lies instead of obeying the commandments of God (Mark 7:6-13). If I didn't care, then I wouldn't step on your toes, mashing them with the truth of God's Word. For much more information exposing the biggest Satanic cult in the world, Roman Catholicism, please read Hail Mary! Hail Satan!
I care, which is why preach THE TRUTH! The truth has never been popular. Those who preach the truth historically have always been ridiculed, attacked, persecuted, abused, prosecuted and murdered. The truth is frightening to many people, especially if you get too much too soon; but that's just the nature of the truth. You learn the truth a little bit at a time, grasping one concept before being able to understand another. Isaiah 28:13, “But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.” I try hard to break down complicated things into simple to understand teachings. The truth should be simple. I have come across some really confusing, deep, boring, mundane, and way-over-my-head webpages. I always write articles from the viewpoint of being a total beginner, providing links to explain what I'm saying.
For Example: I used to read websites that used the term “CCM” and I didn't know what they were talking about. Then I learned that it is an acronym for Contemporary Christian Music. So now when I write an article, I never assume that the reader knows what CCM means. I always define the term at least once at the beginning of every article. The same is true with NWO (New World Order). I care and want my writings to be simple and easy to understand.
And if you've noticed, I NEVER use acronyms when I refer to a Bible book. I think it's conducing to unsaved people and new converts. A lot of people don't know that “Ex.” refers to the Bible book of Exodus. So I never use abbreviations when referring to the Scriptures. I think it's important to take the time to do things right. Using abbreviations says “I'm in a hurry.”
I rarely assume to know the location of a passage of Scripture, unless I've just looked it up recently. There's nothing more frustrating than writing umpteen articles and refer to a passage of Scripture, just to realize a long time down the road that you had the wrong location. caring means taking the time to do things right the first time. Caring means praying, letting God know that we know that we need Him. I need God desperately every moment of my life, for Jesus is my life (John 14:6); and yours too if you're a born-again believer (John 3:5). No one can enter into the kingdom of God without being born of the Spirit; that is, to have He (Jesus) Who is the beginning (Revelation 1:8; Hebrews 13:8) born in you.
I could go on and on about
caring. The flesh is selfish and doesn't want to care. Jesus warned in Luke
8:14 about the seeds which fell amongst thorns and started to sprout (that
is, they get saved); but then are choked by the cares, pleasures and riches
of this earthly life, never bringing forth any fruit (souls saved). In Luke
8:15 Jesus said that those who have a good and honest heart will keep the
Words of God and preach the Gospel to lost sinners. Salvation is of the Lord
(Jonah 2:9). All we can do is witness to the unsaved with the Gospel of
Christ Jesus and let the Holy Spirit go to work on their mind and heart. God
gives the increase (1st Corinthians 3:6-8).
The Illuminati are Deliberately Attacking Your Family
Communism (which was created by the Illuminati to achieve World Government) seeks to remove all traits of love, concern, and caring from it's followers, and to indoctrinate children with atheism, immorality and rebellion...
“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.” —George Brock Chisholm
“The re-interpretation and eventually eradication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training, the substitution of intelligent and rational thinking for faith in the certainties of the old people, these are the belated objectives of practically all effective psychotherapy.” —George Brock Chisholm
If you've been paying attention to the entertainment young people are being subjected to nowadays, then you fully realize that children today are as confused as ever regarding right and wrong. Researchers from Stanford University have found that younger teens like watching music videos, while older teens prefer the music by itself. With disgusting immoral videos like “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift and “Animals” by Maroon 5, can any sensible adult reasonably question why our society is so dysfunctional today? Taylor Swift has sold her soul to do evil. She has sold her soul to the Devil for $200,000,000, which is her net worth as of 2015. 1st Kings 21:20, “...thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.”
America's young people are confused today about right and wrong. Our perverse U.S. society today has decided that homosexuality and same-sex unions (they're not marriages in God's holy eyes) are right, but they are WRONG! Dr. Chisholm was a leftist liberal Communist, who was the first leader of the World Health Organization. Mr. Chisholm made recommendations and implemented strategies to destroy Christianity, parental authority, individualism, patriotism and the traditional family. So far Chisholm's evil plot, which is but a small ripple in the sea of the Illuminati's plan for World Revolution, has worked very effectively. Karl Marx in his diabolical Communist Manifesto, a century before also plotted to destroy the United States. Marx and Chisholm are but two of thousands of wicked conspirators, who've plotted against our youth to corrupt them and destroy every remaining bastion of faith in God, decency, morality, loyalty to parents, individualism and national patriotism.
The preceding quotes from George Chisholm are alarming. Young people need to hear Biblical preaching more than ever before. Did you read what Chisholm said? He suggests “eradication of the concept of right and wrong” in young people, and substituting “intelligent and rational thinking” in place of faith in God for old people. Why do you think Walt Disney (one of the 13 bloodline families of the satanic Illuminati) continually propagate their atheist evolutionary views of the origin of the universe. What began as a theory has now been passed off to the world as factual science. Evolution is a massive cruel hoax perpetuated upon the world!
Parents, you need to attack this monster head-on, by getting your family into a local New Testament church. For me, I'd only attend an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church. There's thousands across the country. Find a church that uses the King James Bible ONLY.
Find a church that has a soul-winning program. If they don't have one, ask your pastor if you can start one. The pastor will announce which day of the week that church members will meet. The time(s) should be posted in the church Sunday bulletin. Usually the men go with the men, and the ladies go with the ladies. Always go in pairs for safety and to assist each other. If you know how you got saved, then you can lead someone else to the Lord. Bring some doctrinally sound Gospel tracts, a King James Bible (highlight your Scriptures ahead of time, so you won't have to fumble looking for them. Show people from the Bible how they can know for sure that if they died today, they would go to Heaven. It's hardest the first time, but then it gets easier each time, and you'll increase in confidence. Pray for the Holy Spirit to give you boldness. NEVER go soul-winning without praying for God's Holy Spirit to convict people's hearts and be with you in strength as you go out. Without Christ's Holy Spirit we can do nothing (John 15:5).
By getting your family into a good local church, both you and your children will be saturated with the truths of the inspired Words of God. Preaching helps us to think right. Your children won't be confused unless you leave them to the dogs of the world. It is in church where children are taught the Word of God, which tells us what is right and what is wrong. Today's perverted movies, video games, most internet websites, Harry Potter (witchcraft books pushed by Scholastic in all public schools), and toys promoting kooks, quacks and queers are destroying our kids. Mom and dad, where are you? And may I say, attending church is for parents especially. A happy marriage means happy children. You need that kick-in-the-butt each week from the pulpit. You need Christian fellowship at church with other like-minded believers. You need a pastor with whom you can seek godly counsel. Without that, where can you go? Don't give the Devil the keys to your home. I'm talking about caring here. Do you care about your children's spiritual welfare? Do you care about your self? You need preaching! I need preaching! We all need hard Bible-preaching regularly!!!
Sadly, I've attended Baptist churches where I literally had to go home and turn on some real preaching, because the church pastor couldn't preach his way out of a wet paperbag. There's nothing worse than a pastor who won't preach against sin, won't warn the lost about coming eternal judgment in the literal burning Lake of Fire, won't get upset over anything, won't expose false prophets by name, won't expose the plethora of new counterfeit English Bible versions, and JUST DOESN'T CARE! Well, I CARE!!!
Caring Christians are the biggest enemy of the New World Order. A caring parent won't abort their child. A caring person won't abandon national patriotism, family values, or doctrinal integrity concerning the Bible. A caring husband won't abandon his wife. A caring wife won't divorce her husband. A caring friend won't try to break up someone else's marriage. A caring pastor won't accept a paycheck larger than what his average church member is paid. A caring person won't intentionally hurt another living soul. I care, and I want to care more, because God cares, and I have to give account to Him in eternity. And by the way, SO DO YOU!
Big Companies
Often Mistreat The Little Guy
I have always hated monopolized big business, because the little guy gets treated like garbage. Home Depot, Wal-Mart, K-Mart and hundreds more large companies have such a large customer base that they couldn't care less it seems about the little guy. Not to mention that such big monopoly companies put the smaller mom-and-pop family stores completely out of business. It used to be that the red carpet was rolled out for the customer, because mistreating even one customer could cost you ten customers through word-of-mouth. If I had my way, I would outlaw large companies that monopolize and force mom-and-pop businesses to go under financially.
Big companies often DON'T CARE! But it's not because of the nature of big business not to care; but rather, because THEY DON'T HAVE TO CARE TO MAKE MONEY. The following shocking documentary exposes the evils of industrial farming, which includes children contracting cancer from toxic pollutants, animals being brutally tortured to death and the reckless destruction of our environment...
