It's by these two things that he gives us his word that we will share in his divine nature and escape the thick brush that is the world's corruption of lust and the allure of a lazy life.

When your time comes, God will open the gate wide and give you a place on his spread.

Lot lived there, but was rescued because he didn't like what was going on around him and didn't conduct his business in the same way those heathens did.

God knows who is good among you and who is counterfeit. He will rescue his real cowboys from their trials, but he will hold the counterfeit in chains to await their day of sentencing.

It was so bad that he was rebuked by his donkey who spoke with a human voice and stopped him from becoming completely insane in his greed.

Don't forget what the old cowboys of God told us, as well as the commands of Jesus himself given by his twelve cowboys.

The Lord isn't slow-bucking his promises to us. He is being patient with all of us so that all who can be will be saved. He wants everyone to turn from their sins and ride for him. He's going to wait as long as he can because he doesn't want anyone to be destroyed. He's waiting for everyone to turn loose of their sins.

We wait for God to come through on his word; he promised us a new heaven and a new earth where his cowboys will ride in stirrup-high green grass and sit beside crystal-clear waters forever.

We tell you what we have seen and heard so that you will join us in the crew that rides for the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ.

This is what the Son told us about his Father. God is light and there is no darkness in him at all.

So then, if we say we ride in his crew, but we ride in darkness, then we are counterfeits in word and deed.

Cowboys, the end is so close you can nearly touch it. You were told Jesus's nemesis would come. Many of his enemies have already come and gone, so we know the time of the end is close.

You can't ride for God while rejecting his Son. You don't get one without the other.

And this is what Jesus has promised his hands who ride for him—perfect, eternal life.

You know Jesus rides the right way and all his hands do the same as he does.

God has showered us with his love like a spring rain on dry ground. He loves us so much he calls us his own kids. And if God says it, it is so. That's why the world treats us like it does. The world doesn't know God and doesn't know us.

Don't be like Cain, who rode for the devil and killed his own brother, Abel. Why did Cain kill his own brother? Because Cain did wrong things and Abel did right things.

This is the definition of love: Christ gave his life for us. We ought to do the same for others.

This is what God has told us to do—believe in his son, Jesus, and love each other.

Listen, cowboys. Just because some hombre rides up claiming to have the Spirit in his life don't make it so. There's been a ton of counterfeit cowboys who have made the same claim.
