When Christian and Gospel singers dress like secular singers.

Hello everyone.

I am sharing something that has been going on for years. This is nothing new. And it will get worse because people pull further and further away from GOD.

The excuse is that the Bible is old and applied to the people back then. As if GOD’S laws has changed. And as if our FATHER GOD has changed. That is totally untrue.

The style of dress has changed due to people doing what they want no matter where they may be or whatever they do.

GOD has not changed.

Men and women do not dress modest anymore. Many just want to look sexy and not just attractive. But the problem with this is that those who seek a truly good Christian for a spouse will only attract those who just want fun for the night. And that is because one will attract fornicators if they dress like that is what they want. Yes, the evil ones attend church, too.

Leaving those people still alone. Then, they are still looking for a mate going through the same nonsense all over.

There are men who may dress secular too and still claim to be righteous.
Putting a bad light on Christian artists.

Those men who are secular will come into church too, looking for a victim. Or a woman that they feel is alone and lonely.

Just like the women who are secular with that same agenda looking for a weak target. And this can be confusing for a lonely soul.

When Gospel and Christian singers dress like the world, they may not understand that there are very young people who admire them. Influenced by their popularity and fame, the younger ones will copy from these artists.

They will say, ” Well, they dress that way….so why is it wrong? They believe in GOD, right?”

We can show our kids how to dress modest.

When you show your children how to respect themselves,  they can respect our beloved FATHER GOD first and foremost.

We come to church with a humble mind and heart looking the best we can. Church is not a club where you meet people for fornication.

We do come to church to hear the word of GOD and for fellowship. Enjoy hearing and reading scripture with some study, too.

Enjoy your day at your service. Stay in prayer for the entire world 🌎 🙏🏾.

Peace and blessings ❤️

GOD the creator’s principles.

What principles define how you live?

GOD’S moral laws, for only HE alone set the moral standards to live by.

What GOD commands does not suggest we do

Hello all.

It is very hard to keep on track and right by GOD and JESUS in the flesh. We need them to guide us in all things we do to get into heaven.

For the love of GOD, we try our best to please GOD because we love GOD. Our flesh will get in the at times from temptation. Our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS are so patient with us mankind in this time of grace.

The moral laws of the old Testament of how we treat each other will apply in the Ten Commandments still today.

Some old Testament laws are handled differently now since we don’t kill on the spot. JESUS came to give grace, so we are given  a chance to repent sincerely and stop doing them.

Leviticus 20:10-16 KJV

10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

11 And the man that lieth with his father’s wife hath uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

We may not stone people for these sins today, but the sin is still wrong. People are given the chance to repent of these sins because JESUS came through GOD’S grace. To save us hardheaded mankind from the nonsense we do

But we will still have to answer these sins in the end. We need to rebuke and repent our sins daily.

I think because we don’t see evil people get punishment right away, it is because we are living in the time of grace. GOD is giving us all a chance to be righteous by HIM.

Because our beloved FATHER GOD loves us mankind and not the sins we do

Peace and blessings ❤️

What the Bible says about these times.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment
Pray at all times. Read the word of GOD. Keep your faith 🙏🏾.

Hello everyone.

When reading about the happenings of the day, you will remember the book of Matthew and Revelation . What John wrote. What he was shown.

It can be unsettling to read for some. But for those of us who have faith, know that these are warning signs. What to expect in these days and times as we happily wait on GOD to send our beloved JESUS.

This wickedness of the day is expected. We who are believers have no fear or any panic when we hear about the disasters of the day. Because it is prophecies written in the Bible.

Recent hurricanes.

Matthew 24:6

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Our FATHER GOD is talking to us. The prophecies have been going on and coming to pass more and more often. The weather conditions show more of the predictions mentioned in the Bible more frequently

Are we listening?

Recent wars and rumors of wars.

Wars have always been an issue. Buy how it’s happening and how often we need to pay attention to.

Food shortages.

Amos 8:11-12

11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:

12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.

Start growing your own food if you can. Small  gardens or container gardens. Preserve your food by canning and dehydration. No time fir junk food, save your money for healthy food.

Illnesses.

Anyone can catch a cold or flu. But we need to do all we can to stay healthy.  Take care of your health . Live righteous.

Wait on our beloved JESUS to return. Live to please GOD ,with the ultimate goal to be in heaven when it is time. Don’t worry about the things happening in this world.

2 Timothy Chapter 3

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away

Peace and blessings ❤️

Psalm 37:32

Psalm 37:32

Hello everyone.

I do hope that you all are well and saved. Ready for the day when our beloved JESUS will return. For we are living in the last days.

The schemes that satan will use are the same ones he has used on people back in the bible days. Many people seem to think the sins of today are new. But they are not. For people sin in different ways for different reasons, but are the same weaknesses of the flesh as our ancestors.

One is gossiping and spreading malicious rumors on anyone, especially righteous people, to darken their integrity. Not even aware of the negative consequences that will backfire onto them.

When hate is in a person’s heart, they will want to destroy the innocent person that they hate. Gossiping is one way. It is then told in secret from the victim to those who will believe it.

Jealous females are a good example. If a female who is confident ,happy, and loves the LORD GOD, the jealous one can feel it. Being insecure makes them take the victims’ confidence as a personal attack on them

Jealous behavior is a form of hate.

Psalms 37:32

“The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.”

King James Version (KJV)

What is the true meaning of jealous?

To be jealous is to feel resentment, bitterness, or hostility toward someone because they have something that you don’t. This feeling or the state of feeling this way is called jealousy. Jealous can describe someone who is feeling or is prone to jealousy.

Yes, the Bible considers jealousy to be a sin:  

  • 1 Corinthians 3:3: Jealousy is a sin and not a characteristic of a Christian.
  • Galatians 5:26: “Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other”.
  • 1 Corinthians 13:4-5: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud”.
  • Proverbs 6:34: “For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance”.  

We are living in the last days of grace that our beloved FATHER GOD has given all of us mankind. We who do want to get into heaven must check our doings.

If you feel gossiping and telling little lies is not really a very bad sin and just a little one, you are wrong.

Very wrong.

I have seen many people hurt from it. And confess to me with tears in their eyes of how hurt they were from confiding in a person who betrayed them.😢

All I could do then was to pray with them for GOD to fix that situation.

Repent from it. Watch what you say to make sure you are not gossiping . Telling another person of something that another person has done to you honestly in your heart without lies,  GOD will be the judge.

For when we speak of others being truthful our beloved FATHER GOD will know.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Devotional reading.😊

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

Bible study and devotional reading

Hello all.

When reading the Bible, scripture you may have read over a hundred times will show you something different when read for the 101st time.

The living word is perfect. It is truly the living word of GOD. The situations in the Bible can be the same as they are today, minus the technology.

Same type of sin, but on different people and times were in the Bible days as they are now. Just passed down from generation to generation. until one rebukes that those sins and learns to walk right with GOD. Just like Moses did from being raised as an idol worshiping Egyptian ,then learning he was born hebrew, who served the one and only true living GOD 🙏🏾

Sin is nothing new, but those who do not read the word and have a relationship with GOD will assume these things that are wicked happening all over the world are new.

No. Sin is an old disease that attacks all mankind. Just that many people will assume it’s new when they are young.

The Bible is a guide to righteousness,  and when it is combined with prayer to GOD, listening to HIS answer and your trust and faith in GOD that gets you ahead. Protected. Secure in your walk

Right now, I am rereading the entire Bible again. I need to again. It shows how to get past the distracting nonsense when you trust and believe in GOD.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Trusting in our beloved FATHER GOD❤️❤️❤️

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment
As a small child holds on to its earthly father’s hand,  we should trust in our Heavenly FATHER GOD at all times in our life.

Hello everyone.

There are not too many people who have walked the face of this earth that you can totally trust with your very soul and life. That is besides our beloved JESUS ❤️.

We mankind can trust to leave our very soul with our beloved FATHER GOD, HIS SON JESUS and The Holy Ghost is giving us the comfort  we need through the thickest field of thorns that could cut and snag us along the path of our lives.

We can see those thorns, and they get pretty close. But we glide through those obstacles, not even realizing that we got past them. We listened to righteousness.

There are times when we didn’t totally understand what was going on around us, but we had to keep moving. And keep it moving as we were heading our way faithfully.

Heading our way as we trust in GOD to show us a clear path to travel. There may be thorns and ditches, but not nearly as many as before.

Because we trusted in GOD’S road map and instruction of life for us.

We learned trust. We learned it by waiting on our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS.   Only GOD knows all. HE knows the plots and snares ahead that satan will try to sneak in our paths .

Encouraging us to keep it moving until we are at our final destination, Heaven.

Our reward for trusting GOD is Heaven. For listening , obedience, and being patient in our lives. As GOD is giving us continued instruction over all things. Even when grocery shopping for the right food to eat.

GOD watches over all of us who love HIM. Those of us who do listen to HIS loving warnings at all times in our lives.

We have no fear. We trust in GOD. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

GOD is good and good all the time.

Psalms Chapter 37

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Who else is worthy of trust but our beloved GOD and HIS SON JESUS? No one

Pray, and listen to GOD every day 🙏🏾

Peace and blessings ❤️

Salvation thru JESUS Christ.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

My beloved grandmother was the leader and matriarch of my family, who led us all to church,  prayer, and our beloved JESUS.

We still to this day her descendants have kept our faith. Each of us has a journey to go thru, and the learning process continues to have our faith grow. You never ever stop learning.

I am grateful that I had a praying grandmother who loved me. She did all she could to look out for all of us. You never know how much they have done for you or how much they love you until they are gone.

The best advice given to me from her was about JESUS. Who JESUS was, where HE came from and why.

JESUS was the only begotten Son of the one and only true living GOD.

JESUS came from heaven. Where HE was with our beloved FATHER GOD ❤️

JESUS came to save all mankind from sin, so our souls can dwell in heaven with GOD and JESUS for all eternity. And not perish in hell with satan and the rest of the fallen angels.

She explained what hell was. She made sure I went to church along with my mother, aunt, and uncle.

When you are in a good church, it feels like a second family. You enjoy hearing the word and being with like-minded people. You can instantly see and feel the vibes from those who turn their back on GOD and JESUS.

It is a negative toxic jolt. So you avoid them or politely keep moving.

Yes. I am happy to say I am not ashamed of JESUS, and I am very grateful to have such a wonderful grandmother ❤️

Romans 1:16

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Peace and blessings ❤️

I can do all things…

Phillippians 4:13

Hello everyone.

When I was a child, I couldn’t wait to grow up. The elders were able to do what they wanted to do. They stayed up later and went where they wanted to go.

They all seemed to have money. They drove their own cars. They knew how to do things I didn’t know how to do. The elders all seemed so wise.

They did not have to go to school and bring home homework with tons of books for ten months, each year from public school to college.

Okay, so now, as an adult,  I miss those days. Not realizing that there are responsibilities that  go with adult people. I mean alot

The longer you live, the more trials and responsibilities in life you have to deal with. Getting a job and paying bills, taking care of your family ,buying a car, and taking care of it too.

You learn to connect more and depend on GOD and HIS SON JESUS, with the HOLY Spirit  for comfort and guidance.

Philippians 4:13

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Each day, I learn from the FATHER something new to get me through situations new to me. Such as discernment. Knowing a person’s heart with just a few sentences. Or even a look or expression that says leave them be. Avoid them.

I need that. When you pray for it, you will have it. Wisdom, too.

When I think about all I have had to go through in life, I see that they were lessons learned. Good or bad situations. But then our beloved FATHER GOD and our savior JESUS guided us through them when thinking about it.

How else could we have made it? We all needed GOD and JESUS back then, and we still do as adults. For we don’t know everything still. Only GOD does. This is why we get saved from situations we didn’t know were coming our way.

We get stronger in our faith when we see what the LORD has done and is still doing continuously doing 24/7 and 365.

Praise and glory be to GOD!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Peace and blessings ❤️

The level of faith I have now  as an adult.😀

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

Hello all

My faith is what I have in my beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS.  I trust in them each day to get me through the tests of faith we humans have to do.

They make you stronger when you look back and realize you got through all of those negative situations with our beloved GOD. HE protected and guided our steps.

Picking us up when we’re about to fall. And when you are younger,  you don’t realize what is happening. Until you see what mishap  you were shielded from!

Our FATHER GOD is so awesome beyond human understanding. Our little brains and wisdom couldn’t handle it all

I am just joyfully trusting in GOD to guide my steps in a weak and fallen world.

GOD is comforting to my very soul because I know I can definitely depend on HIM because HE loves me. GOD knows I love HIM and HIS SON JESUS with all my ❤️ praise and glory be to GOD!

Peace and blessings ❤️

Our loss. Our loved ones gain!

JJ Maslins Art and Designs 2 Comments

Hello everyone.

Today is a new day of life that our beloved FATHER GOD has given us to live and praise HIM!

We each go through seasons in our journey. Being shown the road we need to take. By our beloved GOD and HIS SON JESUS, that is carefully planned. So that we stay on track. Not to fall off of the heavenly bound course to heaven.

There will be bumps and potholes in our roads to heaven until we reach our final destinations. These distractions are not from our beloved FATHER GOD.

Two of my loved ones have gone on to glory to be with GOD. 3 months apart. 92 days.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”

King James Version (KJV)

It was my loss. But their gain as they entered into heaven to be with the LORD GOD. To be able to bow down before JESUS and then be led to the creator of us all!

They are in eternity dwelling in perfect peace and love, too. No more strife, pain, or suffering ever again. No more crying. All full of joy!

Revelation 21:4

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

King James Version (KJV)

Peace. Feeling that pure and perfect love at all times and for all eternity, too. This is their perfect gain.

We who are still in the flesh who they have left behind will still miss and love them now, and will for all eternity in heaven with GOD too when it is their time.

Feeling the loss.

I can not understand how people who do not trust in the LORD can make it through each breath without JESUS. Without feeling the compassion and comfort you will have from trusting our Creator.

Yes, you will feel grief. JESUS wept also over the loss of HIS friend that died. It is normal. But we still have our lives that our beloved FATHER GOD has given us to continue on and praise HIM daily!

If you are dealing with loss too, remember to pray and stay in contact with our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS.

There is our comfort and peace always. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Peace and blessings ❤️
