THE FUTILITY OF SIN
This short video was recorded as I was returning last evening, from Mark's house to my house. I realize it is a little strange, but after all, it is at night. I think the message is good, even if the setting is weird.
I will add notes later.
Hello, I am Pastor David Leroyal Gould and I want to welcome you to Pastor D. L. Gould Musings 2018. You will find "one liners" and "seed thoughts" along with more complete articles and short studies, addressing familiar and unfamiliar subjects. DISCLAIMER: Since I have no control over NEXT BLOG feature on this page and I do not know what will follow, I do not recommend them.

08/09/18 WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT YOU GET
I know, Liberal news looks like chocolate ice cream.
BUT IT AIN'T.
Sometimes things are not what they appear to be.
Otherwise, people would not be enticed to swallow the lies of Satan. The Bible tells us that Satan pretends to be an angel of light, when in reality he is the prince of darkness.
I have said for a long time,
Believe a lie,
Live a lie.
Live a lie,
Die a lie.
Die a lie,
Go to hell.
I have also said for a long time,
Sin makes you stupid.

Liberals are so brain starved concerning current affairs because they feed on empty calories (Public Schools and Liberal News).
When I first saw this background (FB Emogi looks like chocolate ice cream but is not) I wondered if it was suppose to be chocolate ice cream or a pile of feces. Today I used this background because it is dark, and because it represents the kind of "information" that is "spread" by Liberal news out...lets. People are drawn to the empty calories of chocolate ice cream, only to find that they have been dished a plate of intellectual excrement. (I have been wondering how to use this background) hehehe
BTW, I would have added the phrase, "or worse," to my post, but it limits the number of characters.

08/08/18 REFLECTING ON MY DAY
DASH-CAM MESSAGE
Driving home after really hot day on kayak. Patched face and drenched body from the heat, and really tired. Reflecting on my day.
I don't always do what I want to do on my recreational outings, because I am not always physically up to the challenges. I make compromises, in order to at least do some of what I want to do.
I sometimes face challenges that are not "fun" or easy, but I often take them on in order to improve my on situation and guild my on strength and endurance.
I always look for the beauty and the joy of my adventures, realizing that the good things often come with a price.
I take advantage of buddy time and solitude. I enjoy both and really enjoy having both conditions during the same trip.
More important than a good kayak time in the water, more important than catching fish, more important than a time to relax and rewind are the occasions that I have in meeting and witnessing to people who really need to get saved.
It is not easier as I get older and as my condition falters. One day I might not be able to do these things anymore. Mostly I will miss the opportunity to share these times with family and other friends.

Think about it. If you deny Biblical truth for fear of social or legal backlash, you are denying Christ as Lord.

08/07/18 LIBERTARIANISM
08/08/18 LIBERTARIANISM
DASH - CAM MESSAGE
In my posts, I recently pointed out that Christians should not move toward the Libertarian Party in reaction to the negative condition of the major political parties. The Democrat Party has gone so far left (Liberal) that it is Socialistic/Communistic and hard core in its anti-Bible, anti-Christian views, to the point that it is leading a massively large portion of our society in destroying this country.
The Democrat leadership finds it easy to lead its following to destruction because the underlying principles of Liberalism have been taught, promoted and forced on the minds of the population since the days of John Dewey and the inflamed instigation of Liberal/Public Education in this country. Remember, Dewey was a raving anti-Bible, anti-Christian, and in fact, anti-God person, who intended to mislead the American people through schooling. As a result, the "institutes of higher learning" (colleges) started to train the educators (public school teachers) and the rising politicians and law makers, and the medical community and the social engineers and the rest of pseudo intelligentsia in Humanism, Materialism, Pseudo-Science. By the 1970, the rising teachers, social workers, government leaders and medical people had been poisoned against Biblical Christianity and had taken charge of the minds of hundreds of millions of Americans, turning them away from truth and morality and freedom.
Those who wanted to make a positive contribution to society, through schooling and therapy and government actually became the change agents for the very evils that were destroying our society. Modern education became the tool to create a nation of Liberals (Socialists).
Through Humanistic schooling (per John Dewey's agenda) the basics of Biblical truth and teaching are not only resisted, but rejected, refuted and RIDICULED in the name of PROGRESS and EDUCATION.
The Republican Party has also betrayed its own agenda and our country, causing people to look for a new Party to lead us into another Golden Age. But deliverance is not to be found in political parties or agendas. Any and all Humanistic, Liberal, Socialistic, anti-Bible hope is a false hope that will lead us further from freedom and morality. Our HOPE and HELP is in the Lord, period. America's hope is not in the Libertarians or any other party, but only in the family of God.
Libertarianism was born in a pursuit of godlessness and it grew in an atmosphere of selfishness. The revolution in France was not built on Biblical, Judaeo/Christian principles (as was America), but rather on liberal, Libertarian ideas. Remember, Libertarian was understood to be anarchy. "Anarchy" means, against or without rule. Libertarian basically means, "without rule." The words, Liberty, Liberal, Libertarian and Libertine have a common origin, but they do not always mean what they are purported to mean. Most of what is meant in today's use of Liberal and Libertarian has to do with Libertinism rather than the Liberty, which was associated with the founding of the USA. This is not a claim that the USA was without flaw, but being a nation built on Christian morality and the rule of law allowed for this country to correct it's misdirections. This was not the case with France or any nation founded upon Anarchy. In fact, anarchy is still a valid description of Libertarian. Keep in mind, Libertarians (in principle) believe in a society that allows free speech for any and all speech, allows for individuals to do as they please concerning pleasure (such as drug use), marriage, sexual activity and reproduction standards. Libertarian is not the friend of moral, lawful behavior. Libertarian is being without rule, being against rule, is basically being antinomian (without law). True Libertarianism rejects the government having control over private and even societal life. This will show up in the area of pedophilia.
The beliefs, values, commitments and agenda of John Dewey and Humanism has been the charted course for America for a century and a half. This is diametrically opposed to the revelation of God through His word.
In the beginning God told Adam and Eve, "Thou shalt not eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which is in the midst of the Garden." It was one restriction in the midst of a life of liberty. It was an reasonable restriction and an easy restriction. However, Satan (who does not believe in restrictions) asked Eve the misleading question, "has God really said..." Satan put the rule of God in a bad light. Even apparently fell into Satan's trap and added her own twist on the rule of God. It has always been about the rule of God. Libertarianism is against the rule of any kind, except, "self rule." From that point on, Satan has been trying to get man to be free from all rule (which actually makes man a slave to Satan's rule).
Submission to authority begins when children are required to obey parents, grandparents, other adults (family and friends), pastors, teachers, policemen, government. Submission to these authorities leads to submission to God's authority. Disobedience to these legitimate authorities leads to disobedience to God.
Since Satan cannot destroy God, he will destroy the relationship of trust and obedience that men have with God. Do not put your hope in any form of anarchy, rule, the law of God. When we get our relationship with God aligned, then we are aligned for a right relationship with any and all other legitimate authority.

08/07/18 WARNING - SERIOUS - ALERT
This video is important info.
My DISCLAIMER
This is from YOUTUBE and therefore I put it on SAFE YOUTUBE, rather than promote or publish unnecessary offensive material. There is a crude remark shown toward the end of this video, which Dice received from a Liberal. SHOCK, a liberal used crude language.
I sometimes watch and listen to people, with whom I disagree, to varying degrees. Sometimes they tell truths that other people do not address or they have an un-Biblical view concerning issues, but they at least put the light on some very darkened subjects.
REMEMBER, I DO NOT ENDORSE THESE PEOPLE, though I find their reporting to be important. There are some people that share good information, but they are so crude that I do not even turn them watch them.
I have watched some of Alex Jones, as well as Crowder, Shapiro, Dice, Southern, Lauren, Jada and Paul, Robinson, Millie and others, and of course I agree with some ideas and not other ideas. Even when the people see themselves as "Bible believing Christians" they are often times more aligned with Libertarian or Identity groups. It is soooo scary today. People can easily be caught up in issues that have truth, but actually defy other Biblical truth.
STILL... I repeat, STILL... This video is important because it points out the principle that there is a movement to remove all information that does not agree with the Liberal agenda. Dice points out that Jones has become an UNPERSON in the Orwellian fashion of "1984."
Some of my friends through the years have warned me and even distanced themselves from me because I openly voice the unpopular and controversial, yet, TRUTHFUL FACTS of world in chaos. I have often expected to find myself without an online presence, as Satan's way of shutting down the proclamation of truth.
I told y'all, when the Liberals started to tear down the Confederate flag and pull down monuments and rewrite Southern history and culture that it would open the doors to obliterating other cultural and historical realities. The "Liberal" (read that as, Satanic) agenda is to wipe out all inconvenient and uncomfortable history and culture and act as if the only option is that which agrees with them, ultimately the ONE WORLD, ONE ECONOMIC, ONE RELIGION WORLD OF THE NEW ORDER, led by the Anti-Christ during the Tribulation.

GOD'S VIEW OF FILTHY TALK
08/06/18 GOD'S VIEW OF FILTHY TALK
FILTHY TALK INDICATES PUTRID HEARTS.
Yet, people are proud of their corrupt communication, which feeds perverse living.
Matthew 12:33-37
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Mark 7:20-23
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Romans 3:10-18
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Ephesians 4:29
29 Let no corrupt (filthy, rotten, putrid) speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Colossians 3:5-8
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
There is more, much more that addresses the sins of the tongue. The tongue speaks what the heart mind thinks and the heart desires. The tongue leads the life into filth and perversity.
Jesus can cleanse the heart, mind, tongue, life.
Without the cleansing of Jesus we are not fit to live in this world or the world to come. Let Jesus save you.

08/05/18 TWO SIDED SALVATION
08/05/18 TWO SIDED SALVATION
In one sense we can save and sanctify ourselves.
But there is essential Justification and a Sanctification only God can provide.
GOD'S PLAN
Without God's mercy and grace there is no salvation.
God is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
God designed and executes His plan for salvation.
God always does what is right and God enables us to follow Him.
God knows the end from the beginning but we only know on a limited level.
We can always trust God, but we must trust and follow in order to be a participant and partaker in God's salvation for ourselves.
God has provided everything necessary for life and godliness.
God has enabled us and made us responsible for trusting and obeying Him.
When we trust and follow God's directives, we are saving and sanctifying ourselves, by availing ourselves of the grace of God. In other words, when we do that which God requires, we are taking steps away from sin and taking steps toward God.
SAVE YOURSELF
Acts 2:40
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
2 Corinthians 5:20
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
1 Timothy 4:13-16
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Hebrews 3:12-17
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
James 4:6-10
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Revelation 3:17-22
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
SANCTIFY YOURSELF
2 Corinthians 6:17-18
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 7:1
1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Hebrews 12:12-17
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
James 4:8
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
1 Peter 1:22-23
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 John 3:3
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
AND THE LISTS GO ON AND ON.
But just as it is God Who initiates salvation, provides salvation, offers us salvation and enables us to receive salvation, so it is that God must be the One Who saves us from our sins (acts of rebellion) through Justification, Regeneration, Sanctification, and from our sin (rebellious nature) through Entire Sanctification.
Hebrews 12:2
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
In one sense we can save and sanctify ourselves.
But there is essential Justification and a Sanctification only God can provide.
GOD'S PLAN
Without God's mercy and grace there is no salvation.
God is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
God designed and executes His plan for salvation.
God always does what is right and God enables us to follow Him.
God knows the end from the beginning but we only know on a limited level.
We can always trust God, but we must trust and follow in order to be a participant and partaker in God's salvation for ourselves.
God has provided everything necessary for life and godliness.
God has enabled us and made us responsible for trusting and obeying Him.
When we trust and follow God's directives, we are saving and sanctifying ourselves, by availing ourselves of the grace of God. In other words, when we do that which God requires, we are taking steps away from sin and taking steps toward God.
SAVE YOURSELF
Acts 2:40
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
2 Corinthians 5:20
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
1 Timothy 4:13-16
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Hebrews 3:12-17
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
James 4:6-10
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Revelation 3:17-22
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
SANCTIFY YOURSELF
2 Corinthians 6:17-18
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 7:1
1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Hebrews 12:12-17
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
James 4:8
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
1 Peter 1:22-23
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 John 3:3
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

08/05/18 WOW! LOOK AT THE SALVATION GOD GIVES
08/05/18 WOW! LOOK AT THE SALVATION GOD GIVES
BY THE WAY, salvation includes being
REDEEMED FROM ALL LAWLESSNESS
AND
Being PURIFIED as God's distinctive people,
for the purpose of
DOING GOOD WORKS.
WOW! GOD TOLD US ALL THESE THINGS.
Titus 2:11-14
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Salvation involves two distinct crisis, instantaneous works of grace, performed by God in response to faith.
1. God forgives, justifies, renews, regenerates the sinner and empowers him/her to live a life of godliness.
2. God purifies believers from all sin, even as Christ is pure, blameless, without spot or wrinkle, blemish or any such thing, so that we might perform good works and do that which is pleasing to God.

08/05/18 WE WERE WARNED
08/05/18 WE WERE WARNED
ON A DAILY BASIS I WITNESS THE DEVELOPMENT OF end times society taking anti-godliness to an all time low, through...
Extremely godless people,
Extremely wicked behavior,
Performed in extremely offensive ways,
Speaking extremely harsh and destructive words.
Enoch foretold this over 5,000 years ago, as he prophesied the SECOND COMING OF JESUS, with resurrected believers, to set up Christ's kingdom rule over a world out of control.
Society has been degenerating since man began, but the rapidity and geographical scope of wickedness, violence, abusive and destructive speech and language is escalating in an unprecedented fashion. This is consistent with the Bible's declaration that end time society will be similar to the days of Noah, when violence ran rampant and similar to the days of Lot, when the moral decay and deception engulfed every age of society.
The end times society will largely consist of whining, gossiping, divisive, complaining malcontents, who strive against all other people and all justice in order to satisfy their own carnal, selfish desires. The end times society will speak with an appearance of self assurance and arrogant knowledge and wisdom, deceiving people to follow after their godless and anti-God agenda.
Jude 1:14-16
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

Holiness of heart and life is what I need, what I long for.
