Why did the LORD Jesus make disciples? Better yet, why did He call you to be His disciple?

The Holy Bible says:
14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
(Mark 3:14)

Just so some preacher or professor somewhere doesn’t twist and wrest the Scriptures from your grasp, the word disciple means learner, ain’t we all supposed to be learners? (Terrible English but great theology). He called you to be a disciple. Called me, too! I’m just some dufus born in Charlotte Memorial Hospital. I was raised by a daughter of a linthead, and I am the son of a crippled clod hopper. Yep, he even called me, too.

There are two parts to this call! The first one is the greatest of all calls! Our verse states “that they should be with Him…” This is why He called you. He wants you to be with Him. It isn’t about doing great things! It isn’t about anything BUT Jesus Christ our LORD! Leave the sin behind and go to Him! The Holy Bible says, “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6:17-18). He called you to be with Him, so are you there yet? Whatcha’ waiting for?

Next, the verse says, “that he might send them forth to preach…” This doesn’t mean to be a vocational preacher but to spread the word that the LORD Jesus is real and wants everyone who will listen and follow.

The call is quite simple, actually. He called you to be with Him and tell others about Him.

Saturdays used to be one of the days I would knock back some alcohol, some w**d, and possibly some co***ne. I thought, at the time, I was having a great time until it took my life over. In the Book of James 1:21, there is a phrase used about this kind of sin. It states, “…superfluity of naughtiness…” It means a greater quantity than what was wanted. In other words, if you dip your toe in this kind of sinful behavior, it will soon turn the toe tip into being over your head and drowning! God’s word is perfect, and if heard and lived, it will help you stay protected! The Holy Bible states:

"Be >>>SOBER,

The Action of the Discernment of the Promises

1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
(Job 5:1)

Discernment is much needed. A simple understanding of discernment is the ability to distinguish one thing from another. In Christianity, it could be seen as distinguishing clean from unclean; it could also be telling the difference between sin from righteousness. Moreover, it could be seen as distinguishing between a good idea and God idea. In any event, discernment is much needed.

As important as it is, it is surprising at the sometimes lack of discernment in those who worship the LORD. There are two brothers in the narrative of the Holy Bible who illustrate this point well. The Holy Bible says, “And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace” (Leviticus 10:1-3). For their lack of discernment, they lost their physical life. The Holy Bible explains, “(they) offered strange fire before the LORD…” This is the offense. The next phrase shows us they made bold without a direct command from the LORD. The verses state: “offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not…”

Nadab and Abihu were of the right family. Leviticus 10:1-3 shows they were the sons of Aaron. The Word of God shows they were called by God and went to the right places. When Moses and the elders went up Sinai, The Holy Bible says, “And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off” (Exodus 24:1). Even so, after all of this, their lack of discernment cost them.

The Holy Bible shows there is a procedure as to how to offer incense. The procedure is explained in the rite of the Day of Atonement. The Holy Bible says, “And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail: (Leviticus 16:12). It is the understanding of where one gets the fire which would not be considered strange fire. It is off the altar of the LORD. However, this is not the root cause of the lack of discernment. The actual lack of discernment is the fact: “He commanded them not…” The LORD didn’t tell them offer this incense, neither did He command them to just go get coals from off any fire. They were to do as He said in His word, and if there are any burning hot coals, it must be from devotion to Him off the altar.

Everything must be according to God’s word! The Holy Bible says, “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:13-14). Notice how discernment is gained in these verses, “who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” The words “by reason of use” mean by a habitual use. It means a settled practice and one that is hard to give up. Therefore, discernment is the settled practice of study and trust of God’s promises.

In our verse of study for this week, we see the demon which was speaking through Eliphaz continues in its attempt to make Job think the LORD is punishing him and hates him. The entire verse is meant to make Job feel the LORD has abandoned him. Before we get to what is actually said, let us first understand that a broke clock with hands and a numerical dial is right twice a day. In other words, discern truth no matter how it gets to you.

The demon instructs “Call now, if there be any that will answer thee…” The words “call now” are toned with the idea of boldness before God. It is as if the demon is saying call out and scream and demand God to answer you. Since it sounds a bit strong to demand and act bold with God, and considering the origin of this statement, one may think it is a lie meant to trick us to act wrong before God. This is where discernment comes in… The LORD does not call us to act timid when we go to Him! In fact, the Holy Bible says, “Let us therefore come >>>BOLDLY>BOLDNESS

The whole law and the prophets taught in the idea to treat others as you would want to be treated! The LORD Jesus uses this as the backdrop to explain the traffic flow to heaven and hell.

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
(Matthew 7:12-14)

Is the LORD Jesus speaking to you about some sin in your life? Is He bringing to your mind some idea about a full commitment to Him? GO TO HIM AND ASK FORGIVENESS – What a blessing to have the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY to speak to your heart calling you to repentance!

(The LORD Jesus said) “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37).

Using Gifts Wrong, Mental Instability, and Staying Put

Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

Saul of Tarsus, later known as the Apostle Paul, had used the breath the LORD had given him to threaten and slaughter God’s people. He was using the very breath of life God had given him in a sinful way. How doubly sad to not understand that sin is not only terrible wrong, but sin is the misuse of God’s gifts!

Paul turned from his sinfulness, but what about you reader? Have you turned from your sinfulness? Are you using the very gift of God to shake your mortal fist in the face of God almighty?

Maybe, the unfounded fears and turmoils you experience on the insides have nothing to do with this visible world. Maybe, just maybe, it is your soul acting like Balaam’s ass! Maybe, deep down you are sensing the drawn sword of the angel of the LORD.

The Holy Bible says:

22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
(Numbers 22:22-34)

Don’t find comfort in your sinfulness at your local meeting with the prophet for profit. They may tell you what you want to hear that God will overlook your sin. Don’t listen to that pursue God! Your issues may be God resisting you! Some may think, God doesn’t resist His people. You, who think such things, need to hear this verse. The Holy Bible says, “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble” (James 4:6).

The False Prophet Balaam repented when he got to see the truth, yet it was short lived. He didn’t practice the truth of living in God’s presence. He went back to what he was doing before he met the angel of the LORD. However, Paul practiced the presence of God! Paul put his past behind him and did not exercise any visitation rights! The Holy Ghost had Paul write, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before” (Philippians 3:13).

If life sucks right now, leave that past behind! Start living for God and use the gift of life correctly. Quit trying to use it to fulfill your wants when all you gained was mental instability and a life you want to escape! Receive Christ and stay put! The Holy Bible says, “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving” (Colossians 2:6-7).

It is EVIL to NOT go "FULLY AFTER" the LORD -- 99 and a half won't do!

1 Kings 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.

07/10/2026

I can’t decide on the title. Should it be:

It is an emergency I am calling “Whine One One”
– or—
I would like a large order of “Cry Fries” with my combo, please…

At the end of this 14 hour work day, here I sit in the AC after washing up, eating a salty snack, drinking a cold soda thinking about how difficult my life is sometimes, the Holy Ghost sobered me up with Paul’s words…

25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
(2 Corinthians 11:25-27)

It kinda put it all in perspective…

Where’d We get the Gold?

2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
(Exodus 32:2-5)

This is a simple little firecracker for the fourth. I usually don’t buy the others. Even so, these writings, sometimes, have a big boom and bang with them.

At once notice, Aaron called the idol worship of the golden calf a “…feast to the LORD.” To put this in context, when you see the word LORD in all capital letters, it signifies the high and holy name of God, Jehovah or as some say Yahweh. It is really the tetragrammaton YHWH. Aaron ascribed God’s name to something which had absolutely nothing to do with God and was really demonic worship! Be careful what you say is of God, if it is not in His book!

Nevertheless, my question is where did these freed Hebrew slaves get the gold? I mean, not more than a month before this, they were mixing mud and hay trying to make bricks, but now, they have enough gold to make an idol? As always, the LORD answers our question! The Holy Bible tells us, “And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians” (Exodus 12:35-36). So, in effect, the LORD gave them the ability to get gold, but instead of using it for the glory of God, they used it to worship a demon!

How much of the life… this precious life… the LORD has allowed us to borrow, have we used for other things than the intended purpose to worship the LORD? The greatest action you can do on, this here Fourth of July, is to repent and turn to the LORD. If not, not only will your life blow up and make a mess, you will burst in the flames of hellfire! If this firecracker doesn’t blow up in your face, your matches are wet… Let us use everything, including the life the LORD has allowed us borrow for such a short time, to be used for His Glory!
