The Spiritual Pitfalls that Truckers Face and How to Avoid Them

Hello truckers there are many temptations out there on the big roads that are just waiting to devour you so you never come to the knowledge of the truth. You have lot lizards out there waiting to devour you and adult book stores (pornography) in many places along the highway you MUST avoid. 

You truckers know that when a construction zone comes up and it goes to one lane you must focus more on staying in the narrow lane between the concrete barriers with very little wiggle room, right. Well God has a narrow road He wants all you truckers to be on that leads to heaven as long as you stay on that narrow path. As you know the DOT has rules that they want us to abide on but let me tell you that God's laws are way more strict and more important to obey for the sake of your soul.

Romans 8:6

“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

The Bible says, "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).  It also says, "And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."(Hebrews 4:13).  
You see, sin separates us from God and it will lead one to hell not heaven! God's Word is so very clear...."the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23)

First, you will die physically due to sin and then you will be judged and die spiritually in hell eternally without Christ as your Lord and Savior. God will judge all those who are NOT His holy people and send them into outer darkness. We love you and want better for you. So that is the bad news ... God's wrath is hanging over you, due to your sins. But let us rejoice.......we have the GOOD NEWS GOSPEL!!!

Jesus Christ is the Son of God (fully man /  fully God) who came to earth to die on the cross for your sins and to defeat death.  Because of man’s sinfulness, Christ was sent to the cross (shed His blood for forgiveness of sins) put to death (God's will), buried and then rose again to defeat death!  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16He showed us God's Kingdom to come and how to love God. love each other and our neighbor. He alone could over come the world / satan and gain eternal life for those who will seek after Him.
God in His love ( a one time act through Christ ) has made a way for you to be forgiven of your sins and gain eternal life with Him. Please know it is NOT just believing, doing some religion and going to heaven. That is all a lie!!!
In order to find that eternal life per God's Word you MUST have these 5 biblical gospel principles act work in your life:

1) Faith... in the finished work of Christ ( fully man, fully God ) and His perfect sacrifice for sins ( John 3:16 )

2) Repentance ... turning from your fallen mind and ways to God's Holy ways.  ( Luke 13:3 )

3) Born again... you must be born of God's spirit to ever see eternal life. In this new life, He gives you a new heart and mind to then serve Him. ( John 3 )

4 ) Holiness with obedience.... if your changed by God you WILL, as fruit, strive to leave all sin, worldliness, carnality and false ways ( like man made religion ) and obey His commands and be holy in all your ways. ( 1 Peter 1:15 / Heb 5:9 / Heb 12:14)

5) Endure in your faith.... You MUST keep clinging to Christ via this saving faith to the end of your life, lest you fall away and have believed in vain. ( Matt 10 and 1 Corinthians 15 ) 

The gospel is not just a religious action. No, it changes your entire life and you NO LONGER live for yourself but live to serve God alone. Jesus said you MUST worship God in spirit and truth. John 4:24

So you must be BORN of His spirit and you must seek Him in truth, not false religious ways of man that MOST today are doing each Sunday in ritual false man made ways.

Do you have His truth (the good news gospel) or do you have your own faith or a man-made tradition that has deceived you?  ( Colossians 2:8 ) Religion cannot save you nor can being good. God's wrath is upon all those (NOT born of Him) at their death. The worlds religions and denominations are full of the false gospels of man. Test your own faith and gospel to God's Word lest you be turned away in eternity as Matt 7.21 speaks of. (See our 10 point biblical test below.)
Those truly in Christ are changed people who live holy (1 Peter 1:15) and no longer conform to this fallen worlds ways. They avoid partaking of the carnal (sinful) culture ( sports, TV, movies, feminism, man made denominational religion etc ) but they will GO and proclaim the gospel into the world and call others out of it.   

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind  (Romans 12:2) 
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.   (1 John 2:15)  

Knowing Christ is about seeking and serving Him in truth, holiness, obedience by God’s Word (the bible) not practicing man made religion or relying on your good works.

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him (Hebrews 5:9)
Warning: Jesus speaks of a NARROW road that FEW will find. Matthew 7. Are you on it? Or are you on the broad road to destruction?

I care about you truckers because God says I'm to love my neighbor as myself.

Matthew 22:36 - 22:40

36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Truckers, I hope and pray you become born again and that you make an effort to avoid all those pitfalls out there on the big road. I also have to keep myself accountable and put on the whole armour of God (God's Word) every day. Just aim to live for God one day at a time and be faithful and obedient and God will bless you. 

May God be praised!!

Romans 8:4

“That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” 

James 4:7

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” 

Matthew 26:41

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 

There is good news though! You can have eternal life through Jesus Christ. Hopefully you read the 5 point gospel above.

So there you go truckers. I hope you all come to know the Lord and place Him first in your life and you will on your way to have this eternal life as you stay in that narrow lane and abide by His commandments. May God be praised!!!!!

If any of you truckers need guidance or help I will do my best to counsel you in the ways of the Lord. You can email me at

Have a safe journey out there on the highways!!

Claiming Christianity But Blending in With the World

John 15:19

“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”

God's Glory Through His Creation

Here's a video to show the glory of God through His creation.

A beautiful lake in Montana.

Psalm 96:10-13

Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Reading of Psalm 5

1 Timothy 4:13

“Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.” 

Memorial Day...Biblical or Not?

Colossians 2:8

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” 

Are you as a christian caught up in this pagan holiday? Are you celebrating death instead of life? Are you following God's commission to preach the gospel as per Matthew 28? As a christian you should be focusing on things above, not things on earth. 

Colossians 3:1

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” 

Matthew 28:18 - 28:20

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Macabre is a horrifying depiction of death and injury. Do you really think Jesus wants us to think about death and war? If we care about people dying and going to hell we should be preaching the truth to them, not celebrating the death of many that went to hell. This ia another man made holiday and christians across America are raising the flag to celebrate. This is the product of Sunday man made religion that brings in all the traditions of men. 

Luke 9:60

“Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.” 

This really clears up the matter. This is why we shouldn't celebrate death or go to pagan funerals. As a christian we need to focus on the living, not the dead. 

John 10:10

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” 

Jesus talks about giving true life to people which is salvation. Amen!!!

Will You Perish? (I read an article out of dontperish.com)

Luke 13:3

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” 

Praising God for His Creation

Psalms 19:1

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”

Examining Your Motives and How to Keep Focused on the Things of God

Psalms 26:2

“Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.”

Video 2

I have learned that examining ourselves daily and making sure our motives are pleasing to God is crucial to growing in the Lord. We never want alterior motives (selfish motives). We must continue to follow Christ and focus on Him and the plan He has for us. We know He wants us to practice righteousness and be 

the best testimony we can. I praise God that He gave me repentance and gave me a spiritual goal of using my blog for His glory. 

Galatians 6:4

“But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.” 

Wow! Isn't God amazing? This verse fit with letting your labor prove itself to God. 

Philippians 2:16

“Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” 

I know that my motives are a result of me repenting and giving my life to God's service and being consistent. 

The christian life is work and we need to redeem the time. 

Ephesians 5:16

“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” 

Throwing Out Idols

This is what God has done in my life, convicting me of my wordly idols so it was time to throw them out. Amen!!!!

Praising the Lord!
