Psalms 92:7-9

Psalms 92:7-9, “When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.”

Like annoying weeds that grow quickly on their own and thrive, so also do ungodly people thrive in this wicked world (1st John 5:19).

I and my wife Alice live in Pensacola which is located in the deep south. We're originally from Chicago. We also lived on the island of Guam for 17 years. We never saw such horrible painful weeds until we moved to Florida! The number one thing that we hate about Pensacola is an annoying little weed called, “Nutsedge” (or Nutgrass). These terrible weeds feature PAINFUL little balls with spikes and trust me, they hurt. I have bled more times than I can remember after being stabbed by a Nutsedge ball. Our poor Cockapoo dog occasionally gets a Nutsedge ball stuck in her paw. We buy several gallons each year of Nutsedge killer from Monsanto, which works great for a few weeks, but then the weeds grow back again. So, me and my wife have declared war on the Nutsedge weeds!

The most important thing we've learned is to keep the grass short, which prevents Nutsedge from maturing to grow its spiky balls. Once the balls have grown, even if you kill the pant with Monsanto weed killer, the dried out balls still exist on the ground and can hurt. This reminds me of Proverbs 17:14, “The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.” It's easy to fix a small leak, but if you wait until the dam breaks loose it won't be easy to fix.

Likewise, the longer we allow Nutsedge plants (weeds) to grow and mature, the bigger of a problem they become. And the pastor who doesn't nip sin and heresy in the bud that creeps into the church of God, it will become a big problem, even destroying the church in time. A wise and godly pastor preaches without apology or compromise against all sin, false prophets and false doctrines. God deliver us from the wicked neo-evangelical worthless pastor today.

God allows the wicked to thrive so that ultimately He can bring them low in a spectacular fashion that He may be glorified. We see this with Pharaoh in the time of Moses. God is lifting them up to be destroyed. Proverbs 16:4, “The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.”

The Scripture tells us that one of God's duties is to bring low the proud. Job 40:12, “Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.” Though a sinner may thrive for an hundred years, yet it won't go well for them in the end.

Ecclesiastes 8:11-13, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.”

The wicked spring up as weed grass, but their days are numbered. Things that are of value tend to grow very slowly, but things that are useless (like weeds) tend to grow fast on their own. To grow fruits, flowers and vegetables required a lot of attention (water, fertilizer, pruning and care); but for weeds to flourish you don't have to do anything.

Another example is if you want your children to turn out for God someday, it will require a lot of your time, concern and effort to “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). If you want your kids to go to the Devil, you don't have to lift a finger, just do nothing! Thankfully, God is not an absent parent (Hebrews 12:6-8). 

Psalms 37:8

Psalms 37:8-9, “Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.”

We ought not hate people. The Bible teaches not to let the sun go down upon your wrath. That is, every day is a new day. I sometimes think this is why God in His astounding wisdom created the 24 hour day, so that we could start over with a fresh beginning each day. Don't carry unnecessary burdens from one day to the next.

Taking matters into our own hands when angry can be dangerous. The word “anger” is one letter away from “danger.” Just like the word “evil” is one letter shy of “Devil.” Some people taking matters into their own hands because they doubt God. The prisons are full of such criminals. Instead of waiting on God, they avenged themselves (Romans 12:19-21). I assure you with all biblical authority that NO ONE will get away with anything in God's court of law.

In recent months we've seen much controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files. In fact, there are approximately 6 million pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, including 180,000 images and 2,000 videos. Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice released 3.5 million pages, which is part of this total. Unfortunately, the Justice Department has redacted and held back millions of the documents. The long list of hurting victims can rest assured that there will be no redacted documents or images at the Great White Throne of Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15; Hebrews 4:13). THERE WILL BE JUSTICE! ...

Ecclesiastes 5:8, “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.”

The Epstein victims will be avenged (Romans 12:19-21).

We've all felt angry due to painful past experiences, because of wicked people who have hurt us. We've all been thrown under the bus numerous times by people that we trusted. We've all been gossiped about, slandered and lied about by ungodly sinners. We've all been cheated, robbed and defrauded by someone. PAYDAY SOMEDAY! You have God's promise to be avenged (Matthew 7:1-5; 1st Thessalonians 4:6; James 4:11-12, 5:9).

1st Corinthians 9:1-18

1st Corinthians 9:1-18, “If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.”

The Apostle Paul and his ministry companies were routinely struggling financially, yet they admirably prioritized preaching the Gospel more than receiving money. Paul addresses the believers at Corinth regarding the church's obligating to take care of the Apostle and his ministry friends.

Paul calls his right to expect wages from them “this power over you” (verse 12). Paul reminds them that others have benefitted from “this power” but says “we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ” (verse 12). What a godly Christian man! How many covetous believers today in ministries beg for donations? Nearly all of them sadly. I see umpteen professed Christians begging for donations on YouTube, parasiting off off Christianity. Most of them are woefully unlearned in the inspired Word of God, dangerous wannabe theologians (e.g., 'Renee Roland' and 'Jack Smack 77' YouTube channels). They both beg for money like greedy dogs! I've never asked nor taken a single penny for my 24 years of website ministry for the Lord Jesus Christ. A full reward awaits me in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-21, 10:42; 1st Corinthians 3:7-8; Revelation 14:13).

Paul says in verse 14 that God has ordained for a godly man who preaches the Gospel to be able “to live” of the Gospel. No where does the Bible mention money. This passage doesn't justify living large, that is, a life of extravagance. It means that local churches should help provide sustenance for a legitimate preacher's basic needs to survive (if he faithfully preaches the Gospel). The laborer is worthy of his reward. 1st Corinthians 9:14, “For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?” Sadly, most pastors and their families today are merely in the ministry for the INCOME instead of the OUTCOME (Romans 16:17-18). I write to their shame!

In verse 16, Paul exclaims: “woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” God uses that exclamation mark, I didn't add it to Paul's statement. Woe unto every Christian who does not share the Gospel of free grace with lost sinners (Proverbs 11:30; Hebrews 12:14; Matthew 28:19-20). Most of all, woe unto shameful, lazy, carnal, incompetent, neo-evangelical pastors today who refuse to teach, encourage and lead God's flock to go soulwinning publicly from door-to-door (Acts 20:20). Do we really believe as God's children that lost sinners will burn in the fires and torments of Hell forever? I think most of us do not, considering that less than 1% of Baptist churches today have regularly scheduled public soulwinning. No wonder the churches are 90% empty! This is exactly what is wrong with Smyrna Baptist Church, Family Baptist Church and Fairfield Drive Baptist Church in Pensacola. They are spiritually dead churches! Moreover, all three cults are WRONG on repentance and therefore, the Gospel.

In verse 17, the Apostle Paul simply says that if he took the money for preaching the Gospel, he would have a reward. But Paul refused to take a penny for preaching the Gospel from the church at Corinth. Contrariwise, Paul says that if he was reluctant to preach the Gospel willingly, it was his duty as an Apostle to do so anyway. The Apostle says that “a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” This simply means that God had given Paul the administration (responsibility) to preach the Gospel. It was his duty! 

That all being said, I loathe the doctrinal system called “dispensationalism.” There is no way to come up with the systematic fables of dispensationalism by rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Although Pastor Harry Ironside (1876-1951) taught that dispensational teaching provides a mere overlay to help guide the Bible student and is not doctrine, I humbly disagree. I contend that dispensational teaching is absolutely doctrine, because it shapes (and in my opinion warps) the Bible student's mind and leads him astray from the truth.

Case in point is Pastor David Hoffman, a devout dispensationalists and follower of that nut Dr. Peter S. Ruckman (1921-2016). In his 'The Hoffman Study Bible' commentary for 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, Pastor Hoffman errantly teaches insanely that there are SEVEN different gospels taught in God's Word. This is what dispensational doctrine does, it warps and rots your brain! Galatians 1:6-9 plainly declares that there has always been only ONE Gospel.

See also Acts 10:43, which says “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” This Scripture teaches the exact opposite of wacky dispensationalists like Peter S. Ruckman, William P. Grady and David A. Hoffman who all foolishly claim that people were saved under Mosaic law by performing WORKS. NO ONE has ever been saved by works (Romans 3:19-20).

And please examine Romans 4:4, which teaches that if salvation had (at any time in history) ever been by works, then God would have owed men salvation. Romans 4:4, “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.” Thus, salvation would have been by debt and not by grace, and we know this simply has never been the case. There is no such thing as a “dispensation of grace.” Salvation has always been by God's wondrous grace through faith in the promised Messiah. BEWARE of toxic dispensational teaching!

True Israel Will Be Restored At Jesus' Second Coming

Jeremiah 23:7-8, “Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.”

Although some Christians believe present-day Israel is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy to rebirth Israel, but I firmly don't. Present-day manmade Israel was created in May of 1948 by the ungodly United Nations (controlled by the Council On Foreign Relations).

Hosea 3:4-5 teaches that God won't restore the true nation of Israel until the Jews repent toward God. Of the seven million Jews inhabiting Israel today, only about 2% profess faith in Jesus (and that includes all the pseudo-Christian cults like Roman Catholicism and Mormons). 

Our text passage of Scripture from Jeremiah 23:7-8 teaches that when Jesus returns at His Second Coming, after the 7-year Tribulation, the LORD will return saved Jews to their own Promised Land.

Only born again Jews (those saved by God's grace) are members of the elect (i.e., the chosen). God's solemn promises in the inspired Holy Bible has always followed a line of faith, never works. This is why I don't believe in Replacement Theology, simply because there was never anything to replace. Replacement Theology is the false doctrine that the Church in these modern times replaces Old Testament Israel.

Consequently, we as believers are the chosen and no longer the Jews. However, if you understand the truth that God NEVER blessed Christ-disobedient Christ-rejecting Jews (Exodus 19:5-6), then you know that there was never anything to replace. That is, there was never a time in history when God blessed hellbound heathen Jews! The Lord's promises have always followed a line of faith among the Jews. Those who died in their sins without faith in the coming Messiah perished into Hell.

Praise God, there has always been a “remnant” of believing Jews...

Romans 11:5-6, “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”

God did not divorce Israel, they divorced Him (Isaiah 50:1)... 

Romans 11:20, “Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.”

There is still hope for any living Jew to be saved, but it can only happen by faith alone in Jesus Christ...  

Romans 11:23, “And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.”

Any Jew or Gentile can be saved through faith in Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 29:12

Proverbs 29:12, “If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.”

If you know that your boss is doing things that are immoral, shady or illegal and you continue to voluntarily work for him, you are sanctioning his evil doing. Moreover, it is very likely that you will have to help cover for him, to partake of his evil deeds as his servant or employee.

The prophet Jeremiah said the people wickedly went along with the corruption. Jeremiah 5:31, “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” It matters not whether it be political, business or religious corruption, every individual will be held accountable by God someday in eternity for the things they supported (Romans 14:10-12; Proverbs 24:12; Matthew 12:36). Those saints who exposed evil will be commended and rewarded accordingly by God at the Judgment Seat of Christ (Psalms 94:16; Ephesians 5:11; Revelation 14:13).

Deuteronomy 22:5

Deuteronomy 22:5, “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”

If you honestly interpret the inspired Word of God, then you know it is a sin for women to wear pants, miniskirts and Spandex, because such shameful behavior reveals the shape of a female's thighs and buttocks, tempting others to lust. ...

1st Peter 2:11-12, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.”

The Holy Bible calls the lusts of the flesh a “war against the soul.” It is utterly irresponsible for any pastor and his wife to defend women and girls wearing pants, when we are at spiritual war in the world today against lust due to technology (printers, magazines, internet). Did you know that Playboy magazine no longer publishes smutty images? The hell-bound company said there is so much free smut on the internet, that they cannot make money anymore selling images of naked women. That is so terrible!

When I was growing up in the 1970's as a boy, you couldn't see a naked woman anywhere except in a woman's clothing catalog (e.g., Sears Roebuck & Company, J.C. Penny), or in a smutty lewd magazine from a 7-11 type convenience store. When I was growing up we had Penthouse, Playboy, Star, Hustler, et cetera. I saw things I never should have seen as a boy, because of wicked adults who carelessly left such sinful immoral magazines laying around. Me and my curious friends found the dirty magazines and studied them. Oh sinner, don't you dare try to convince me that it is acceptable to the LORD for His redeemed daughters to wear pants!!! If you wear pants, Spandex or shorts in public as a female, YOU ARE HELPING THE DEVIL destroy American society today. You have blood on your hands!

In April of 2025, I and my wife actually heard wicked Pastor Brad Moffett at the Family Baptist Church in Pensacola, shamefully say that this Bible command in Deuteronomy 22:5 does not apply in the New Testament. Brad shamefully said Deuteronomy 22:5 does not apply to his pants-wearing wife. Kindly said, neither Brad (nor his arrogant verbally-abusive father Bobby Moffett) should be a pastor. They are ungodly incompetent clergy! They are wicked neo-evangelicals. Both of their ungodly wives wear their ungodly pants in their ungodly church, blaspheming the inspired Word of God. PAYDAY SOMEDAY!

Titus 2:5, “To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” Those two words “discreet” and “chaste” shout modesty. The word “discreet” means: “Marked by prudence or modesty and wise self-restraint.” Shame on any professed Christian woman, especially pastor's wives, who wear their ungodly immodest pants in public. It is wickedness! Just because ungodly American women everywhere today no longer fear God—no longer esteem, value or practice modesty—doesn't mean that it is acceptable with God for a woman to wear men's clothing.

If you are hard-hearted so that you disagree with what I say, go watch the shameful music video “Dem Jeans” on YouTube by Chingy (and especially listen carefully to the raunchy lyrics), and if you can still tell me that there's nothing wrong with women wearing pants, then you've been inspired by demons! Get thee behind me, Satan!

Pastor Brad Moffett wickedly used the lame excuse that Jews were killed for eating lobster or lighting a fire on the Sabbath Day in the Old Testament, so in his wrong dismissive thinking it is okay for his rebellious wife to wear pants in public. IT IS WICKEDNESS!!! There is no debate or controversy if you are right with God and rightly interpret the inspired Holy Bible.

It didn't surprise me that Pastor Brad also doesn't think homosexuality should be a punishable crime today. He said in Romans chapter 1 that God gave the sodomites and lesbians over to their sins, to show grace, but the Lord didn't kill them. So, according to Brad homosexuals should be left alone to do their own thing. That is so foolish and reckless, mishandling the Word of Truth. God didn't kill murderers, kidnappers and rapists in the New Testament either, he entrusted the governmental powers to do uphold the law and morality in society. Romans 13:3b, “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.”

I kindly rebuked Brad Moffett in his office for his woeful ignorance and arrogance as an incompetent neo-evangelical Baptist pastor. Who is Brad Moffett to sit in judgment of what is or is not a crime punishable by law? Brad agreed that murderers should be put to death. What about convicted pedophiles? How about kidnappers who sodomize and torture their poor victims? But when it comes to homosexuals, Brad thinks they should no be punished by the government. This is the type of insanity in our corrupt churches today.

Most people (sadly including pastors today) do not know the difference between moral laws versus ceremonial laws in the Old Testament. God's prohibition to eat lobster was a ceremonial law only for the Jews living in Palestine during the Old Testament. God's warning against women wearing men's clothing is a moral law applicable in every generation. Since the deadly sin of lust is always a temptation (1st Peter 2:11), it is ludicrous to teach that Deuteronomy 22:5 is not valid in these modern times.

Then Pastor Brad tried to use the fact of Scottish men wearing kilts to justify his wicked wife wearing her wicked sexy pants. No Sir, you are a wicked man and a fool for a pastor! Your ungodly immodest wife and mother are not right with God. Get the behind me, Satan!

Proverbs 28:16

Proverbs 28:16, “The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.”

Proverbs 28:16 is essentially saying that a leader who woefully lacks judgment, so that he oppresses the people to acquire their wealth, shoots himself in the foot. But a king who hates ill-gotten gain prolongs his days as king.

We see a perfect example of this Scripture passage violated when Solomon's son Rehoboam, after his father's death, oppressed the Jews financially (even worse than his father did to fund all his building projects), and 10 of the 12 tribes of Israel rebelled to journey north with Jeroboam instead. Thus, the northern kingdom of Israel was started.

A wise leader knows that the people won't tolerate financial tyranny. This is why Iran is collapsing right now, because the cost of food and other life's necessities have skyrocketed overnight by 100%, caused by their wicked leaders devaluing Iranian currency to boost the cost of oil to increase their own wealth. The afflicted Iranian people have had enough of the tyranny!
