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!
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.
I’ve asked many people in the past and even recently, “How are you doing?”. Most tell me they are fine or OK but are they really? We get so used to giving people quick answers to questions like this when deep down we really aren’t doing as well as we try to make it seem. Most people don’t know each other very well these days so an answer like this is just accepted and “no harm, no foul”. But what about you?
Sometimes I have expressed exactly how I feel and people look at me like something is growing out of my ear. If we actually are honest with each other would that make a difference in the world? Maybe. So, are you really okay?
God loves you and He cares about you. It doesn’t matter to Him if you are feeling down or if you are on top of the world. He will always be there with you either way. IF you have given your heart to Him and live by that decision every day then your life can be OK every day. Wake up by giving Him praise for letting you have another day to serve Him. Life is too short to look at things the way that the world looks at them. Most of the world seems to think that the sun rotates around them and the whole world is their oyster.
What good is having the whole world today, right now, and then spending eternity in hell? Have you ever considered how long that is? Most of us won’t live for one hundred years and that’s not even equivalent to the blink of your eye when compared to eternity. Even the lifetimes of Noah and Adam don’t count much when compared to eternity and both of them lived for more than 900 years!
I pray that everyone who reads this will seek Jesus to be their Savior soon because we are living at the edge of the Tribulation.
For many years, many of us were in debt. Today there are many who are in debt to banks and credit cards and to the government and to so many other things. Some are so attached to drugs and sex and fame and popularity that they can’t get away from their social media for even five minutes. Why? Our world and many of the people in it are so locked into these media systems that even one or two small things that are negative can cause them to consider suicide. Even small things can bring a very dark feeling into their inner being.
If you don’t know about Jesus when this darkness comes, you will search everywhere for something to get rid of it. Many people do this and they will go down some even darker paths than they should and they are searching for a way to get out of the darkness. But…Satan is leading them in the wrong direction since he can pose as an angel of light.
You are in debt to Jesus for the debt that He paid for you. You should work for Him after you’ve given your heart to Him because He is the Light of the World. It is His Light that brings people out of the darkness. He is the only One that can bring peace and light into this world of darkness and pain that we live in. Jesus paid the debt for ALL of us, whether we accept His gift of grace and love or not is our part in our individual salvation. We feel the touch of the Holy Spirit that convicts us about our need for salvation. It is our acceptance of this knowledge and our act of accepting it into our hearts that brings us to be saved.
If you decide that you would rather live your life in sin by walking away from your conviction of being a sinner, then you will likely never be brought back to being convicted that you need salvation.
I pray that this doesn’t happen to many people. I pray that when they are called and convicted of their need for salvation that they can’t turn away from it. God loves each of us and when His Holy Spirit touches your heart and shows you that you need Jesus, I pray that you will accept it and then take your gift of salvation and tell others about it. Tell them why they need Him because all of us need Him for our salvation. The Son of God died for our sins and we shouldn’t look down on His sacrifice by turning away from it.
He LOVES you!
The whole world is waiting for something to happen. But…what is it waiting for? It isn’t a “what”, it is Who! There is only one more event that is going to get the attention of the world and that will be the return of Jesus to take His Bride, the Church, home. Can you imagine? All of the Christians of two thousand years coming out of their tombs, wherever they may be, in their resurrection bodies! That is going to be a huge crowd of people to meet Jesus in the air! Almost at the same moment, the Christians who are alive on that day and time will be changed and they will meet Him as well.
To the world’s scientists and many who do not believe in Jesus, this day is a fairytale. It is just some mythical story from an old book. But on that day when it happens…everyone who has heard of this story will see the proof before their eyes. Some will mourn because they didn’t go with their friends and family who might have disappeared in front of them. Many more people in the world will be angry and mournful because of the consequences of all of the disappearances. The car wrecks and planes crashing and many other things that happened because of those who left this world for a better one.
Many young children will be missing as well, especially infants and those who were about to be born but were taken back to heaven. Yes, they were innocent of sin and they will be taken. Life will change drastically for the world after this day and it won’t be better. If you’ve ever read about the days of tribulation mentioned in the book of Revelation, this is when it will begin.
I pray that anyone who has questions about their salvation or even if they are saved through Jesus, please seek Him in prayer and through the gospels in the New Testament. Don’t wait until that day comes because we don’t know how much longer we have. I may not be alive when this happens. You may not be alive tomorrow, no one is guaranteed a certain number of years. Make sure of your salvation soon.
