I pray that anyone who hasn’t made the decision to accept Jesus, please choose Life!

Testing of your faith makes it stronger

What will get your attention?

In today’s society, our attention spans have decreased to the point of being only long enough for a blurb on the news. I’ve noticed that most news programs seem to sell drugs more than they tell us about the news. The news anchors only speak about one or two sentences then another commercial for some new or renamed drug comes on for three minutes. Then they will come back and say a few words and then more commercials will come on. I know that is the way that the networks make money but I would like to actually hear some NEWS if I bother to tune in.

If you have heard any sermons about Jesus Christ then you may remember one of His parables about the days near the end of the age. Two are working in the field, one is taken and the other left. Two women are grinding meal, one is taken and the other is left alone. Two are in the bed at night, one is taken and the other is left. This is a description of the “rapture” of the church or of believers when Jesus comes back to take His Bride, the church, to heaven. We are not far from that time.

I know that the disciples thought that Jesus was coming back during their lifetimes as well but there are too many prophecies that have come true in the past seventy years for His coming to be very far away. It could happen tomorrow or even tonight, but the world will know when it happens because it will be an event that will happen all over the world at the same time. No one knows the hour or the day or even the year in which it will happen but God knows the timing down to the second. Are you ready for it? Have you given your life to Jesus and repented of your old ways of life?

God loves each of us and He doesn’t want any to die the second death in hell but that is your choice. God doesn’t send you to hell, your decision to accept Jesus as your Savior or not accept Him is the decision that truly condemns you to hell. Murder, theft, rape, genocide or other sins will determine the severity of your eternity in hell but your destination is determined by you. Make the decision to follow Jesus and ask Him to come into your life as your Savior. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins and make you clean so that you can be counted in that number of those who will be “taken” to heaven when He returns in the clouds.

This decision only takes a minute of your time but it will impact your eternal life forever. Choose to Live with Him.

Everyone…

His Grace is free to all

Our Hope came out of the tomb!

This is the big difference between Christianity and any other religion, even though Christianity is a relationship and not just a religion. Jesus came out of the tomb and He later promised that He would come back to bring His Bride, the church, home to be with Him. This life is fleeting and short so I pray that you have given your life and your heart to Jesus. Easter is the celebration of the day that Jesus was found to be “missing” from His tomb and because He fulfilled prophecy in doing so it is proof of Who He is!

He is risen indeed!

David foretold His death

Psalm 22 was written hundreds of years before crucifixion was even begun yet it describes it in detail. Read it and think about His crucifixion for your sins and mine.

A psalm of the Cross

(Matthew 27:45-56; Mark 15:33-41; Luke 23:44-49; John 19:28-30) references to this psalm in the gospels.

1{To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

5 They cried unto thee and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.

11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

18 They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture.

19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

21 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seeks him: your heart shall live forever.

27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

28 For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations.

29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

We won’t stay on the pathway

A little bit here and there…

This is something that all of us should be used to by now. Every time the state gets a little more money from gambling income or the lottery we always hear that it is going to education or teacher salaries. Then we hear that there isn’t enough money to do this or that. I’d like to know who’s pocket all of the money ends up in because it isn’t in the teacher’s pocket and it seems that more money in the education system isn’t really helping that much anymore.

Have you ever wondered what really went wrong? It isn’t the money or the salaries or even the jobs that are being offered because it seems that there are too many today who really don’t want to work or get a good education. The real problem began in the early ’60s when prayer and Bible study/reading were either taken from our education system or it was being taken away. Prior to that time, our education system was the best or at least one of the best in the world. But when God is removed and the moral center of society begins to shift away from Him, the quality of education goes down and it has continued going down ever since.

If you don’t believe what I’ve written, look up the ACT scores from the 1950s. Then look up the range of scores from the 60s and it is trending downward.

God and His teachings from the Bible are essential to education and its effectiveness. Without His laws written in our hearts by reading and studying them, our society will fall and it is doing that now. I pray that parents and grandparents will begin to read the Bible to their children and grandchildren now before it is too late.
