Reblogged R.S. Helms Commentary --- From Canada Free Press.  Welcome To The Twilight Zone One of my favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone is Monsters Are Due On Maple Street. On a peaceful suburban street, strange occurrences, purposely caused by hidden aliens, stoke the residents’ paranoia to a disastrous intensity. Once friendly neighbors start accusing one another and then, inevitably, begin killing each other. We are now living in a sort of twilight zone, a science fiction horror movie. Many of us are being told to spy on each other, monitor one another, report any deviancy, take pictures. We have been ordered to close our churches, our schools, our restaurants, our businesses, no family dinners or get-togethers, use social distancing, practically everyone needs a haircut. Our president, who is not totally immune to misinformation, is actually being advised that the economic lockdown and the social distancing should continue until 2022. My God, is everyone nuts?  • 

Messages of Revelation

The Loveless Church We come to the First Church in the list of Seven, (Rev. 2:1 – 7), However, if you recall some of the introduction in chapter one, it is the Lord Jesus’ revelation to His servant John and in verse three, “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.” So, what does “is near” mean?   Well God knew just how long it would take Christianity to run its faithful and committed course and He didn’t make me or anyone privy to how long it would actually be until the end of its age and sufferings, of its persecution.   We do know that Jesus will come in the clouds and those who sleep in the Lord will rise first, then those of us who are still struggling along, will meet them in the air, in a twinkling of an eye.   That will be the close of the church age, when Christ collects His church. Chapter two verse l: -- 7: “To the angel of the church of Ephesus wr

CORRUPT NATION --- CORRUPT CHURCH

It’s Time To Make the Church Great Again! Some backbone needed! … Apply at the Cross of Jesus. As I go through the email each day, I have started to eliminate 95% of it, because the election is over and the people have chosen President Elect Donald Trump.   Nonetheless, the Mainstream Media (including Fox, Townhall, and the almost forgotten Blaze of the GB network), simply have the conservative Social Media, in most part simply going over the manufactured news, time and time again, and the more it goes forward the more fake it becomes.   People need to simply see that liberal socialism is in serious trouble in the nation, and just make a stand for making America great again, then simply commit to boycott the organizations and business’ that keep this crap alive.   If you do not react to their mindless stupidity, their evil values.   Stop watching the liberal BS on TV they will not win. For conservative fundamental Christians, we absolutely must drop the anxieties of the world

By:  R.S. Helms It may be a change to read about something positive, or at least as the Lord viewed the church at Smyrna.   This is a church, which may well reflect in the universal church, your local church, and of course, the church is people, it is a good standard to judge our personal spiritual position. The word Smyrna has as its root, the word myrrh is a substance that has the sweet smell and used in the making of perfume, incense, and medicine.   Smyrna was a beautiful city with rich farmland; and often referred to as the ‘crown of Asia.’   Nonetheless, it was also the center of Caesar-worship in Asia Minor; the infamous ‘golden street’ that ran from the harbor up to Mt. Pagos.   Along the way one passed by an imposing array of pagan temples to Cybele, Apollo, Aesculapius, Aphrodite, and Zeus.   Yet, there was a Christian church, which would only relate to the persecution that the Christians underwent.   It was the martyr Polycarp who was burned at the stake for

The World Will Hate You… R.S. Helms   J esus told us in the gospel of John, (15:18) (“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you”).   There is several areas if concern, which I would like to address today.   First off, the lie which has been perpetrated against the United States for several decades, and at present is propagandized by the liberal left wing of the political spectrum and the President of our nation along with his minions and global citizenry brain washed spokespersons rendering Obama praises.   This is a Christian nation it was founded as such, continuously been such, and now it remains a Christian nation with a multitude of religions because they are guaranteed freedom to practice their faith as they see fit.   The intent of that First Amendment guarantee is that the government is forbidden to mandate a national religion.   So as a Christian, and a Southern Baptist Pastor (ret.), I am so happy to claim “we are an un-mandated Ch
