I was a pastor for nine years and I’ve been told that since I post here daily, I’m still a pastor but that’s beside the point. The faces I saw and those I see on TV at church services look like they just ate a sour apple. I understand that many people don’t want to smile all the time but as Christians, we have the best news that could ever be told! Jesus made it possible for us to be taken to Heaven!
If you are a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, your eternity is sealed and sure! Being sad about the day’s news is not going to change anything. Consider this: He could come back at any moment! Your problems will all be solved when you are taken to your eternal home! No more glasses to wear, no bills to pay, no doctor to visit, and no more pills to take so you can remember to take your pills!
God loves us and He is coming back to take the church, His Bride, to heaven! From that point on into time with no end, you and I will be alive! It is a hard concept to get your mind around but with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!
The joy of being His should give you a smile to show to everyone. But many people want to look at the world around them and see the things that aren’t the way we want them to be. God sees the bigger picture that we can’t see and He knows which way everything will turn out…His way. Don’t discount His design in your life and in the world around you because His way is always the right way.
Do you ever see wild animals?
Deer, armadillo, possums, skunks, squirrel all in or around my yard.
What is one thing you would change about yourself?
If I’d started a number of years ago, I wouldn’t be quite as plump as I am. But that’s just me.
Are you more of a night or morning person?
I was a night person when I was working because I had to be. I worked for a few years as an EMT and then later on the night shift as a Medical Technologist. Now I’m closer to being a morning person.
What are your feelings about eating meat?
I don’t want veggie burgers . I ate a pulled pork and coleslaw sandwich yesterday and you can’t do that with tofu. 😊
Many things in our world are broken. Our relationships with each other and with other nations fall into this area of brokenness. The news doesn’t report this because it would hurt people’s feelings today. The evidence is in every report even though it isn’t pointed out.
Why is our world broken? Because we have broken it. Our relationship with God has been broken for a long time and the effect of that has spread all over the world. God is allowing all of this brokenness because of the time that we are living in. Some people can see this because they believe in God’s Word which foretells most of what we see and hear in the news today.
What does this mean to America or any other Christian nation today? Read Ezekiel 38 and compare it to what is happening in the Middle East. God is in control of this and very soon the world will see His hand in this. I pray that anyone reading this will seriously seek to know Jesus as your Savior.
