God's Name Hold in Reverence

2/24/2019

 
​An agonizing Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross, looking down at the men who were laughing at Him and He uttered these words, ?Father forgive them for they know not what they do.? Luke 23:34.
 
Today, we have evil people doing, thinking and saying all kinds of things that will land them in Hell after death. Heb 9:27. 2 Cor 5:10.
 
Long ago, the Lord God warned man not to take His name in vain. Ex 20:7.
Yet men continue to do so, by using such profane and blasphemous speech God?n!!!! or the deplorable Jesus f?ing Christ!!!
 
It is insane for any person to show such contempt toward the Creator.
Yet, foolish people do so, digging their own graves and lighting the fire in Hell for themselves. For every loose word, man will answer and those words will condemn or justify him. Matt 12:36-37.
 
On Judgment Day, Jesus will not be saying ?forgive them?. He will say ?depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.? Matt 25:41. We have a death day and a Judgment with God. Don?t take the name of the Lord in vain. If you do, you will be sorry and it will be too late. John 8:21

Things Aren't Staying the Same

2/17/2019

 
​Time waits for no one. Eccl 1:5. Just think for a moment. One year ago, you were a year younger, which means you are now a year older. Gen 47:8-10. Five years ago, there were people you knew that were alive, but now five years later; they are dead. Eccl 1:4. This cycle of aging and dying doesn?t go away, it just keeps on claiming more victims, for none are safe from the grasp of mortality.
 
Which brings me to the question of preparation. Man must get ready! Far too many aren?t ready and far too many think they are ready when in reality, they aren?t. Luke 13:24-30. Matthew 25:1-30. The emperor Felix was such a man, he listened to Paul teach about Christian living and the coming Judgment and he became afraid because he knew he wasn?t ready. However, he did what we hope you don?t; he did nothing!
 
The question, ?what must I do to be saved?? it is mention in Acts 2:37. Acts 9:6. Acts 16:30. If you will read the scriptures in all of these cases, you will see that people accepted the message of the gospel and were baptized for the forgiveness of their sins and they afterwards walked with the Lord. Rev 2:10. You can do the same and we stand ready to help you understand what the word of God teaches so you can be saved.

Robbing

2/10/2019

 
​A robber is a person who will burglarize property, uses a weapon or strong arm victims of their goods. Obadiah 5. Lk 12.33.39. Lk 10.30. Ex 22.3.4.7.8. John 18.40. 2 Cor 11.26. After the harm is done to the victim, the robber enjoys the fruits of his spoils and thinks about the next victim. Pro 1.1-14. But, robbers fail to understand the eyes of God are watching and He has made it very clear, the career of a robber won?t last because his works will destroy him. Pro 15.3. Pro 21.7. Psalms 94.9-11.
 
God has commanded man not to steal, but do honest work. Eph 4.28. Yet, we continue to see people enticed to commit robbery and even add murder to the evil actions because victims refuse to give up their goods.
 
Possessions belong to those who work honesty to achieve, and not to some loser who comes along pointing a weapon and demanding that they give it up. People work hard to buy their televisions, but some person breaks in and carries it off. A person works hard for their paycheck, but some person attacks him at the atm and runs off with their cash. This behavior has got to end, and it will when offenders get locked up, die, or the end of the world comes. Heb 4.13. No robbing! Get a job!

Look for Quality

2/3/2019

 
​In the beginning, God created woman so that man wouldn’t have to be alone. Gen 2:16-25. This proved to be the perfect combination for companionship and the sexes complete each other. 1 Cor 11:11-12.
 
However, it is very unfortunate that many women make poor choices when it comes to selecting men. (with the same being said of men) Pro 12:4
 
But I’m highlighting women because men hold most of the power in the home and that can become a nightmare for a woman who has chosen the wrong one. Women should never select a man because he sweet talks, has nice clothes, a nice car or is very handsome. And lest I forget, he spends lots of money during dating. (Many monsters can do so too) And the horror of a poor choice in a soul mate can extend outside the home where it effects relatives and some of them might have warned about red flags before the relationship was established. (possible violence)
 
A person must have pure values which cannot be compromised for any situation, person, place or time. Dan 1:10. Dan 3:16-18
 
Females be strong in the right belief and don’t be starving for a man. Look for quality not physical stuff. For it is better to be alone than have a disaster come alive for you and your love ones. 1 Sam 25:2-3.
