The discussion of what is happening in Christendom is not happening. Those in control of the Christian (White) nationalist movement are controlling the Christian narrative. And the media, especially social media, is pushing their narrative. These folks leading the movement have hijacked the Scriptures. They have defiled the things of God. Should Bible-believing Christians be concerned about the rise in this movement called “Christian nationalism?” You better believe it. Not out of fear by any means. The Lord told his followers not to fear. Do not be afraid. But for the sake of American democracy, which is as perfect as a free government can get, we should be in prayer. In all things, when it comes to this world, we should be in prayer. We should not be breaking down the doors at the US Capitol or flying flags in support of a man who has no fear of God, no respect for His teachings, His people, or the American people. 


Some Christians have lost all faith in God. They are tired of waiting on God. They have turned to the world for salvation. These Christians fail to understand the problems of this world are due to the condition of the heart of all men, that is evil to the core. No one seeks after God. The Scriptures tell us that our faith is in God, not man, any man, government systems, or even Christian leaders. “I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images (Isaiah 42:8).” Who dares to place himself above God? Christ’s followers are well aware that this world is not our home. We are to “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s (NKJV; Luke 20:25).”


Danger Will Robinson! Satan is scrambling. His plans to topple the people of God have been in the making forever. And if anyone is familiar with the story of Job, you know how that works. We know that deeds done in darkness will all come to the light. The people of God have forgotten that Satan knows the Bible better than most Christians. Whichever way the coin falls in November, the idea of war seems preferable to protecting and defending our democracy. Turning the heart of man back to God is not part of Satan’s agenda. 


God laughs at man’s futile attempts at self-rule. Man is forever rejecting God, and most of the time, they do not even realize it until it is too late. Using Christianity to hide behind a fascist movement is disturbing. Satan knows that his fate is sealed. He desires to take as many people with him as possible to his final destination. This time in history, he is on a roll. He knows his days are numbered. Who will follow his ways? 


Let’s face it: There are two types of people on earth: the children of God and the children of the devil, the children of light and the children of darkness. We have believers on the wide road and on the narrow road. We have wheat, and we have tears. Does everyone on earth believe as such? No. But we know that believing in God is a matter of faith, forever criticized by those who reject Him.


We take comfort in knowing that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He alone knows the day and hour of our Lord’s return. Again, and again, God has told us that the heart of man is continually evil. He would know. We should, as believers, recognize the evil among us in the church, not in the world, it is to evident. Sadly, most church goers are hard-pressed to recognize the enemy. Jesus warned us about the Pharisees, false prophets, and false doctrines the antichrists that were already in the church. He warned us of many things that would happen in the world, many that we have seen unfold in our lifetime, and many more still to come. And He said, “Do not be afraid.” These are only the beginnings of birth pains. So, if this is not our home, who should be afraid of a secular world? Not God’s children. So, who is confused about his/her role in the body of Christ, and in this world?

Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

Ephesians 6:12 NKJV
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

“We were given the Scriptures to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing.”

I’m Irma

Welcome to my little corner of the blog world. Here, I share my thoughts on Christianity, the things of God, and the ways He has shaped and guided my path through life. My journey with the Lord has been long and transformative, marked by moments of peace and joy and periods of uncertainty. I write, first and foremost, for myself—to process what the Lord so graciously reveals to me in Scripture. Sharing some of these truths has become a mission of sorts, via blogging. His word urges us to bear witness and encourage one another.

As I reflect on my own transformation, I can say that the church itself has transformed over the years and not necessarily for the good. I speak about my own experiences with the church. One lesson the Lord impressed upon me this year is that “truth is not always truth.” What do I mean by that? There have been times when I’ve shared a biblical insight, only to realize that other faithful believers interpret the same passage differently. In that instance, I find that the Lord reveals according to our understanding. When I share the need for a Damascus experience understandings diverged sharply. Believers that have been raised in the church do not feel that such an extreme experience is necessary for spiritual maturity. Our faith is truly shaped by our backgrounds. Spiritual journeys are not for everyone. This taught me that early socialization deeply colors our grasp of faith; what’s true for me may not resonate in the same way for someone else.

Similarly, lately I considered how “ignorance of Scripture was its own blessing,” I remembered my early walk with Christ. I had a blind faith. I knew little of doctrine or debate. I trusted the pastor. In those days, my faith and trust in the church and church leaders was simple—I accepted what was taught from the pulpit without questioning. I did not have the knowledge needed to question any teaching. There was a peace in not knowing all the controversies or complexities. As I grew and studied the scriptures, and did some additional research, as the Lord gave understanding, I found myself questioning everything I had been taught. I did not question my faith, or the existence of God. That ignorance, while limiting, protected me from confusion and doubt, allowing me to rest in childlike faith.

The church itself has seen many changes over the decades. Self-proclaimed prophets have introduced new doctrines, some bordering on heresy, while believers wrestle with their flesh and what it means to follow Christ in a society with so many freedoms. I remember a time, more than thirty years ago, when I trusted every word spoken in church. Now, I understand how easy it is to accept teachings that stray from biblical truth. The Scriptures warned us this would happen in the last days.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 (NKJV) “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”

Current events—like the 2024 Election—have exposed deep flaws in American Christianity. Yet, through it all, Scripture assures me that God is sovereign. No wall built by human hands can withstand His judgment; no scheme crafted in darkness escapes His light. These lessons have become more real to me as I look back over my journals, filled with stories of God’s faithfulness during trials, tribulations and abundant grace. By sharing I hope those the Lord leads here will desire to seek God wholeheartedly, to find comfort knowing that He is always at work in our lives—often in ways we never considered.
