If You Follow Fake Bishops, You get Fake Fruit

Biblical Christian Leaders

1 Timothy 3

1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Who are the real elders: bishops and deacons, official pillars and elders of the church family? Is it anyone who gives themselves a title?

No. We have so many titles, and so little fruit.

Why can’t we have female bishops? Because the Church is a family. My wife can have all the talent and gifting in the world, but she’ll never be a Father, Husband, Uncle, or Grandfather.

Elders are more than a gift, they are an office that give structure to a church family. Most gifts are for function, they are what your gift does. Gifts do not discriminate between male & female. Elders, Bishops, and Deacons are Offices. Offices give structure. (Yes, there are female deacons in the bible, in Romans 16, 1 Corinthians 1, 2 John).

Why can’t we have Bishops with disobedient children, single bishops, divorced Bishops? Because the Church is a family that leads by example. Bad leadership creates bad fruit.

Why can’t we have Bishops that love money and power and status? Because the Church is a family not a corporation all about profit and the bottom line. Corrupt leadership creates corrupt fruit.

No Need For Great Orators

All the qualifications of a bishop, not one thing has to do with being a great orator, awesome speechmaker, or having a big stage or crowd. The fruit that a biblical spiritual leader has is transformation, and the ability to transform others by teaching AND example.

There are so many professional pew sitters that have no power to live right because they are following great professional speechmakers instead of true leaders with fruit. You can only reap what you sow into. (Galatians 6)

People are chasing the power of titles but they are not chasing the cross of Jesus Christ.

There are no shortcuts to a sacrificed life, and there is no power that can substitute for the power of a sacrificed life in obedience to Jesus Christ.

Follow leaders that not only have the gift or talent, but the example and the fruit. Follow men that hazard their own lives for the Lord Jesus Christ and take up their cross.

You Can NEVER Escape Obedience to GOD – An Intro to Spiritual Retardation

The only way to escape obedience is with disobedience and punishment.

You can NEVER escape God’s character-building processes through work, through family, or through ministry.

Spiritual Retardation is more than ignorance (even though they go hand in hand). Spiritual retardation is to refuse spiritual maturity or advancement in obedience thru suffering, and to choose disobedience and avoid suffering instead:

Being lazy and resisting work is a sign of spiritual retardation.

Resisting God’s purpose and plan for family and resisting nature and natural roles is a sign of spiritual retardation.

Resisting Gods high call on your life or ministry is a sign of spiritual retardation.

Hebrews 5:8
8 Though he [Jesus Christ] were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

When you say you want to do God’s Will, you need to be ready for the Pain that comes when He BREAKS đź’” YOUR Will.
#notmywillbutThineBeDone

If Jesus learned obedience thru suffering, how much more should we?

Disobedience and Ignorance go hand in hand. It’s like the old question – which came first, the chicken or the egg?

We are disobedient because of ignorance, and we are ignorant because of disobedience – because God pours out His Spirit and reveals His knowledge to those who obey His reproof (Proverbs 1:23).

When you delay obedience and refuse to advance to the stage you are supposed to be in, your spiritual progress becomes retarded.

Consistently avoiding obedience, suffering and maturity leads to more opportunities for obedience, suffering and maturity. So you never really escape Gods process of obedience anyway. Then in the end, disobedience leads to punishment You might as well obey Him at every stage, suffer temporarily, and be blessed with JOY!

Real Men Talk Doctrine

Real Men Talk Doctrine. Scriptures and how to obey them. Finding better ways to obey the Scriptures in every area of life. Revelation and Application. The kingdom of God.

How to obey God in your family. How to obey God in business. How to obey God in church. How to obey God in politics. How to obey God in sports. How to obey God in music and entertainment. How to obey God in your community.

Real men don’t hide behind the Bible without bringing it to touch life, and real men don’t hide behind practical life and avoid bringing the Bible to it.

We Are Responsible for Abortion (The Judas Kiss) | Countdown to the Call Detroit 11-11-11: Day 27 –

We Are Responsible for Abortion

We spoke a message at the last iRepent event at Friday, about repenting from the pragmatism of Judas. Pragmatism is a philosophy that severely overdoes practical thinking – to the point of betraying God to do what we think will work. Judas’s pragmatism was the driving force of his betrayal of Christ. He wanted to get his will done his way. He wanted control. He ended up being instrumental in God’s will, but on the wrong side. “Woe to him by whom he is betrayed.”

22 And truly the Son of man goeth , as it was determined : but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed !

How do we Judas-Kiss Jesus?

We betray God’s purpose for our single lives when we live for ourselves. When we date around and do frivolous things that don’t produce disciples for Christ, or Godly marriages for the Kingdom of God. (1 Cor 7)

We betray God’s purpose for our families when we decide not to allow God to produce the Godly seed that He desires. We believe the lie that children are a loss, when God says they are a blessing, a profit. (Malach 2, Ps 127)

We betray God’s purpose for our ministries when we change our message to fit the people, instead of changing the people to fit the message, the Word of God. (Luke 3)

We betray God’s purpose for the Church when we live in isolation instead of breaking of bread and fellowship, doing life together. (Act 2)

We betray the purpose of God’s House when we allow it to be a place where thieves can hide, instead of a House of Prayer for every ethnic group. (John 2)

God still gets His purpose done anyway, but woe to the person used by satan to betray the will of God. God has enough mercy to cover us, but only if we turn our hearts completely back to Him.

So, how are we responsible for abortion? The Church has all authority in heaven and on earth. If its bound, it’s because we bound it. If its loose, it’s because we loosed it.

How did abortion get loosed by the Church?

Lookup The Negro Project and Margaret Sanger. When satan planted Darwinism and Eugenics into society, and used white racism and fear to try and destroy the black race, where did he send his messenger? To the Church. Margaret Sanger went to the Churches with a message of pragmatism, family planning, and birth control. She convinced black pastors that family planning was the way to prosperity and respect. They loosed it in the Church, and a few decades later, abortion was legalized in the government.

It was the Judas in us that is responsible for abortion. We betrayed God’s purpose for our families out of fear. Instead of God’s plan, and God’s control, we were duped into accepting our own planning and our own control. Satan got an inch (family planning and birth control) in the Church, and through our authority, he took a mile (legalized abortion) in the culture. This lie is so pervasive that, even now, we think God is going to give us too many children if we don’t prevent Him. God knows exactly how many children we need and how to provide for them. Several families in the bible only had 2, or 1 child. Some had 15. Each one is a profit, not a loss.

How much witty invention and financial provision will God release to those committed to His planning and under His control? The Duggars have 19 children, and have plenty of resources and businesses, 0 debt, plus they make nearly million dollars every season while the world watches them glorify God! Im not saying that everyone is called to be like Jim Bob or Michelle Duggar; but we must be open to giving God control. Us and the children the Lord has given us are for signs and wonders to the earth Isaiah 8:18. The disciples got the riches of the Holy Ghost. Judas got nothing.

We must repent for being responsible for allowing and loosing the mentality that is the seedbed of abortion. Let us never betray God’s purposes! It’s a waste of time to blame the government when all the responsiblity and authority has been given to us. Lord we turn our hearts back to you!

WWW… (dot dot dot) Word…Work… Wife…

WWW… (dot dot dot)
Word… Work… Wife…

Once a young man hits 12 years old, there is a simple process he should have his heart focused on – WWW…

But when I say “WWW…” I don’t mean www dot foolishviolentmusic or www dot pornographyandgirlfriends or www dot Grand theft aughttostopwastingyoursoulonvideogames or www dot violenceinthestreets.

We live in a culture where young boys are hardly cultivated at all. They are either abandoned by their father, thrown to the justice system, or their souls are left to rot with entertainment (sexual and violent video games, music, television).

Boys come up ignorant. Naturally lazy, their laziness is coddled with video games and entertainment.

Naturally horny, they are shown endless sexual images and told they need a girlfriend to fornicate with. Naturally ungodly, they are left alone to rot with whatever music and movies are popular at the time. Most have minimal guidance; they just follow their peers and their penis.

As a man, we have all been in this foolish state at one point or another. I know I was until God rescued my soul.

Consequences are horrible. Society is left with an entire generation of unproductive, violent, lawless, fornicating, irresponsible boys who make babies and break up families.

They also drive up crime, they drain the economy, tax the nation, tax the justice system, and sow bad seeds to continue the cycle and make it worse in the next generation. Not to mention, they boys suffer a hard life and end up in prison or hell unless something good happens.

In historical cultures, the few boys of this sort were simply executed. Most boys were fathered, mentored, discipled, or apprenticed to become productive and responsible men. Even today, there are a few good men who train their sons. There are also a few good churches that train Godly men.

I was blessed with a great father and good churches. So I know that through the grace of God, some boys can get out of the artificial Matrix called the “teenage years” still alive, godly, productive, and responsible. Despite this, the problem seems to have spiraled out of control.

But the wisdom of God is always in control! Foolishness is bound in (tied and teamed up with) the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it far from him (Proverbs 22:15). In addition to the Rod of Correction, WWW… is a wisdom tool that is meant to be easy to remember and teach.

When a young boy turns into a 12 year old man… He should know that the next 6-21 years of his life should be TOTALLY and COMPLETELY dedicated to:

W – Find Gods Word
A young man that turns 12 should begin to study the scriptures day and night. He should thirst for knowledge and search to understand God and Gods recorded History of the Universe.

While doing this He will also become familiar with the gospel, and the righteousness of Jesus Christ that can cover His sins if He only believes.

He will also become intimate with the God who inspired the Word. As He prays in the evening, morning, and at noon, He will develop a close friendship with God.

A 12 year old man – after 4 to 8 years of prayer, thirst and continual repetition and teaching – should be familiar with the entire Scriptures, having read it backwards and forwards 4 to 8 times. He would also know God who authored it. His soul should be anchored and ready for the next building block of manhood:

W – Find Your Work

This involves connecting with God and receiving a vision through prayer and fasting. This also involves discovering your purpose and writing out concrete goals and plans to reach them.

This also entails constant practice at the things you are good at. Then you will produce an income of money from your Work. Are you good at art? Do you like science? Do you like to talk? Do you write well? Do you like sports? Do you have a business idea? Do you hear original music in your heart? Do you enjoy building things?

You don’t have much time to waste on video games or television. For each talent or desire God has given you, you should spend 2 hours a day practicing and creating with it. Do this six days a week, and rest one day. This is in addition to your normal basic education and homework.

Find your work! If a man dedicates his soul to finding his work soon after the age of 12 – His work will change the World! He is well on his way to not only becoming a productive citizen, but a WEALTHY citizen who can give freely to the poor… Not to mention take care of his:

W- Find Your Wife

Women are powerful, capable, and strong… But bearing and taking care of children is time, energy, and money consuming. Therefore, a husband is Gods preferred head of household for families with children.

As a young man who has found Gods Word, and found his work – God is most likely preparing you to find your wife. Your beautiful wife you can have sex with any time. Your helpful Wife that will assist you as you conquer your Work. Your best friend you can enjoy the God-given fun of life with!

Notice I did not say “girlfriend.” A “girlfriend” that is not soon to be a wife is just a distraction from Finding Gods Word and Finding Your Work.

Once you find those two… you will see absolutely no need for a girlfriend. You will be looking for a wife to enjoy life with, and to help you with your Work and vision.

Having knowledge of Gods Word, your Work, your vision, your gifts, and your personality will make it easy for you to find your Wife. You won’t need to test out 25 girlfriends. Especially if you have been in God’s Word day and night since 12 years old. You will know His voice and His plan.

So Stick With the Plan: WWW…

God is waiting for YOU!
The world is waiting for YOU!
Your beautiful powerful helpful wife is waiting for YOU!

If you are past the age of 12, don’t worry… you can get on the WWW plan at any age! And if you are already married, do NOT find a new wife! Find out new ways to love your wife.
Our society has created a teen culture that stupefies young adults for the purpose of making money off of them. Don’t join it. Be a productive, responsible, and fun loving REAL man on the WWW… plan!

Starting at Age 12 (at least):
1. Find Gods Word: 4 – 8 years should give you a good foundation… Then love it for the rest of your life!

2. Find Your Work: 6-16 years should give you a good start… Then love it for the rest of your life!

3. Find Your Wife: 6-21 years should give you enough time to prepare for her… Then love her for the rest of your life!
…(dot dot dot) means for the rest of your life!

Getting Started Early: Putting in the Hours!

Age 5: 4 hours/day academic learning (reading, writing, arithmetic, music). Teaching a young child reading, writing, math, and logic gives them a strong foundation that they can use to learn the Scriptures and find their Work.

Age 7: 4 hours/day agricultural/athletic learning. Physically learning how to produce results with your body teaches a child the results of discipline. Physical discipline will determine success in every area of life.

Age 12: 4 hours/day learning the Anointing. According to many doctors, age 12 is when a youth is able to start fasting healthily. Fasting one day per week will help give discipline and allow him to control his fleshly hormones. It will also help him to hear God’s voice more clearly as he becomes a man, while investing 4 hours per day in prayer, Scriptures, singing, and serving.

Men in Scripture who did it WWW-style starting at age 12 or earlier:

Adam: Was created, spoke with God. Found work in the garden. Then God brought him his wife. (Genesis)

Joseph: Started out with dreams and his vision as a teen… Found his work in Egypt. Found His wife last. (Genesis)

Samuel: Started with Gods voice as a child, found his work in the temple. Found his wife later. (1 Samuel)

Jesus: In temple at 12 digging deep into the Word, found work as a carpenter, then built the Church. Died for His wife at 33. (Matthew)

Other Scriptures On:
1. Finding Gods Word – knowing the Bible backwards and forwards. Learning how to be filled with the Holy Spirit and hear Gods voice.

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Psalms 119:9 KJV

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray , and cry aloud : and he shall hear my voice. Psalms 55:17 KJV

2. Finding Your Work – Knowing and developing your gifts and talents. Discovering your position in Gods Purpose. Receiving a vision that creates internal motivation and diligence.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do , do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest . Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJV
Six days shalt thou labour , and do all thy work. Exodus 20:9 KJV

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. Proverbs 20:11 KJV
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour , working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth . Ephesians 4:28 KJV

3. Finding Your Wife – Committing your life to partnership to a helpmate who you can have fun and enjoy your life work with.

Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. Ecclesiastes 9:9 KJV

Let thy fountain be blessed : and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Proverbs 5:18 KJV
