Jas 3:8-10 But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. (9) With it we bless our Lord and Father; and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; (10) from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, […] The post The Power of Words – for Good or for Evil appeared first on Light for Dark Times ..read more

Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy; (Matthew 26:65) Wicked people typically work to gather allies to their cause. In the case of RASNs (revilers, abusers, sociopaths, narcissists) that “cause” is to attack, abuse, and accuse […] The post When a RASN starts using “We” or “Us” They Are Claiming False Allies appeared first on Light for Dark Times ..read more

Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. (Ephesians 4:17-18) RASNs (revilers, […] The post The Irrationality of the RASN’s Mind appeared first on Light for Dark Times ..read more

Many victims of domestic abusers and other kind of their kin (RASNs) struggle with the abuser’s claim to be a Christian. In addition, many people including pastors and other church members pressure victims to assume that their abuser is actually a Christian. “After all,” the line goes, “you’re a sinner too.” Well, we are born […] The post How can we know that someone (including ourselves) is really Born Again? appeared first on Light for Dark Times ..read more

Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. (Romans 1:32) I no doubt have written in the past about this subject: shame.

2Ti 4:14-15 Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. (15) Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message. God’s Word is very negative about certain kinds of evil people. I call them RASN’s as you know (revilers, abusers, sociopaths, narcissists).

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, […] The post Are RASNs on the Increase in our day? appeared first on Light for Dark Times ..read more

Php 3:18-19 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, (19) whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.
