Failing hearts...

For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
--Luke 21:22-27 (KJV)

I am not a doomsday prophet, but I do not relish the prospect of people being lost and cast into hell. I am grieved at the very notion of the pain and suffering that lost souls will have to endure in the end. I am appalled at the loss of the beautiful world that the Lord has made. And I see the end approaching as has been foretold in His word. That is why I must blog on the very subject of the end of the world.

This world is going to be destroyed by fire and brimstone according to the Bible. Whether this happens today or a thousand years from today, it is already done. The BIG picture is already framed. We must accept this truth and deal with our circumstances. The small details must be added to the canvas.

I can’t save anyone no matter how much I would like to. I do not have that power or authority. It belongs to God who assumed a human form named Jesus.

God, in His human form – Jesus, walked among us and taught His truth to all who would listen. Jesus left a written record of His teaching, His instruction, His truth in the words of the New Testament of the Holy Bible. Jesus showed us that there was so much more to life than just these flesh covered bones. He died on a cross and was raised by His Holy Spirit to live again as an example to us of the life that we can have with Him. If you would have Jesus save you, please, read the Bible and learn to apply it to your life.

I do not know the hour or the day that He will return, but He is coming. I don’t know the means of the end, but I believe the words that He left for us. I am no doomsday prophet, but I preach Christ crucified, risen, and returning. I pray that each of us will be prepared and ready to meet Him joyfully, not fearfully.

May the Lord bless you with the clarity of mind to understand His word and enjoy another beautiful day!

Final Call...

Matthew 11:29

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

How long will Jesus continue to issue His invitation?

How long will He tolerate the evils that He calls abominations in the Bible that are so widespread in our world today?

How many times will He call you before He turns you over to a reprobate mind?

How many times will He answer your prayers and protect you when you aren't following after Him?

At what point did Sodom and Gomorrah cross the line?

These questions strike fear into my heart - fear of the Lord. I think that every person that has heard the truth of God's salavation plan should have this fear. The Bible tells that this world's end is coming. Are we going to be ready when that day dawns?

Are you a gambler?

If you haven't made yourself ready according to the Bible (not yourself), you are gambling that today isn't the day that the Lord is returning.

You are gambling that you won't have an accident and lose your life on your way to work.

You are gambling that the doctor won't tell you that you have some terminal disease at that appointment today.

You are gambling that the Lord isn't going to say enough is enough and I am through with them today.

I would say the odds against you are going up everyday.

Jesus Christ is going to appear one of these fine days to take His bride home. Please, examine your life to see if you are ready. If you aren't in order with scriptures, please, take the time and make the effort to make yourself right in His eyes (yours and mine don't count).

Don't keep gambling with your soul.

May God open your heart and mind to His truth and make your path straight to Heaven. Have a blessed day!
