In the past, my brothers and sisters, we have watched the world move and shake like no other time in history. We have witnessed severe changes in the weather and yet…few are paying any attention! We have been talking about the godless world and those that prefer to accommodate themselves to living in it.

We read in the Bible in Daniel 1 and 2, Thessalonians, Ezekiel, and finally in Revelation that these changes were coming. We know the Word of God is somewhere older than 3000 years and still, in today’s world it speaks to you and me. The question is…“Why are so few paying any attention to it?”

If you walk the streets of this country and ask anyone willing to answer this same question, they will continue to give the same answers. “Well…I am so busy these days with…” Or it may be, “I don’t think the Bible is relevant nowadays.” Or it could also be “I have so much on my plate at the moment…!”

The answers never change because the “thinking” never changes! If you ask yourself why that is you will find that they simply will not devote any time to reading the Bible! They are too busy with other things that they think are so much more important than noticing that the clock is ticking down to midnight!

Oh…we can delve into all the hype about the “end” of the Mayan Calendar but there is no time to delve into the fact that the Rapture and the Tribulation are just around the corner! We can spend endless numbers of hours in front of the television and yet never once think to pick-up the Bible and spend a single hour with the Lord. We can spend forty to sixty dollars at the theaters and watch global disaster movies and never once notice, we are about to see the world come to an end, right before our eyes! Take the time to read the chapters in the Bible I stated earlier and see for yourself!

Never once do any of the 1%’ers take the time to understand why we get 70-80 years to live when they know THAT is not enough time to truly experience REAL wealth! Everyone is more concerned about their money or the lack there of and how they can accumulate more, than the certain value of salvation through Jesus Christ. Since so many are not willing to read the Bible, they will never notice that it says we should concern ourselves with storing up “treasures in heaven”…NOT here! Therefore, they will never know what “true” wealth heaven holds for all those that come to the cross of Jesus Christ, because they will never see heaven!”

Let me ask you a question here, “WHY would you want to forsake the eternity of heaven, for only 70-80 years here?” Do you not understand there is an unknowing amount of time to be had in eternal life? And you want to give it all up for paper and coin here on earth for such a short period of time?? Eternity has NO TIME. TIME does NOT exist in eternity. It is without end!! Once again, why would you choose the time here on earth in exchange of living for eternity in heaven? And to think they say that…You and I…Are the “weirdo’s” for standing up for Jesus Christ, heaven and eternal life! It’s the other way around, right?

Do you need to put it in words that will be easier for you to understand? Okay, then I will! YOU are an idiot if YOU will not see that salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary is the only thing that can save YOU from eternal destruction! The Bible is filled with the Words from God’s mouth to YOUR ears! God created everything in this universe. YOU did not therefore things will always go according to the perfect will of God! Now there is one question left to ask, “Do YOU want to live for 70-80 years, or would YOU rather live for all of eternity? That is the ultimate question. Birth and death are a given.

John 14.6: “I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father except by me!”

That, my friends is Jesus Christ…talking to YOU! I already know this principle for myself and I follow Jesus Christ in all I do and that is why I am asking that question of YOU! I already know I am going to live with my Lord and Savior in heaven for all of eternity, but I must ask you this question. I am responsible to the Lord God Almighty to do so! Besides that, it won’t cost you a single thing to accept this precious gift from the Lord, how much easier do you want it to be?

Matthew 6.27-33, emphasis added:

“Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Matthew 6.34:

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

Following Jesus Christ means that all the things you and your family need to live will be provided for you. That begs the question, “Why do you go hungry or live without a home and good food?” The answer just like everything else in the Bible is simple: You do NOT follow Jesus Christ!You’re too busy with everything else relying on your own virtues when you never realize…YOU don’t have any virtues! The Bible says there is NONE GOOD, only God!

So…go ahead and follow all those new trends in whatever─be just like all those other folks too busy to look to Jesus Christ and find out exactly where you end up! One thing: It’s all YOUR fault YOU end up in hell. YOU chose that as your final destination, because YOU wouldn’t make Jesus Christ YOUR God! I hope and pray that all that wealth does everything for you that you want it to because in the end, that’s the best YOU’RE going to get!

What do YOU think WE are here on this earth for? Don’t know? Then YOU better pull that Bible out and begin reading everything you can. It has all the answers you need to know! Then drop to your knees and ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of your SIN and cover you in HIS blood from the cross! You always want to be on the best team, the winning team, the team that has it all, the team that’s going places…Do you really want the short term…or would you rather have the whole enchalada?!

Jesus Christ is all things…everywhere!!!

I can still remember a time in my youth when the matter of  “right” or “wrong” was a way of life and it never mattered if you were an adult or a child; everyone played the same game, so to speak. I can remember that it was significant to us kids to be our best and we also knew it was impossible to be the best at everything. We understood we could be really good in music, but fail miserably in football, or we could show excellence in world history and fail in mathematics. We dealt with being turned down by the prettiest girl or best-looking guy in school. We had failed relationships as boys and girls─this was just the way life was and it usually made sense.

We also had parents who would take time and explain these things to us, who were always there to give us a heaping teaspoon of reassurance, whenever needed. We had teachers that were concerned about our future, almost as much as our parents. Preachers would stand up in the pulpits of America and would extol the truth of Jesus Christ and HIS Gospel of life to us. It was a time where the entire family would attend church together, where every hand was needed and all were too willing to help others. A time of “please” and “thank you.” Or it could have been us kids saying, “Mr. and Mrs. Such-n-Such” always with respect and conviction. Alas, times have changed and so have the people of the world.

Here is something that I wonder if others have noticed… We have seen the natural disasters in recent times and we see perplexing governments struggle. Ever wonder if these are biblical prophecies taking place? Looking a little deeper, have you noticed a division, taking place in everything? Have you noticed where robberies and thefts take place and where they do not? This awareness of downward change could include almost everything and anything, like where Islam is accepted and where it is not and then to what degree? Closer to home, the churches that teach and preach the Word of God and those that do not, the ones that have huge congregations and those that do not? Ever wonder why there are these divisions and what they mean?

It does not require anyone to be a rocket scientist to figure out something very strange is going on and it’s on a daily basis to boot. We have the “Haves” and the “Have NOT’S,” the 47%’ers, the upper 1%’ers,” the “shrinking middle class.” And we must not forget the “gifted” and the “ordinary!” In almost every single aspect, whatever it may be that you choose, it seems to me─in my minds eye that there is a distinct dividing line being drawn.

Too many are willing to say, “There is no dividing line, no absolutes; the lines in the proverbial sand are merging, as all people should merge together.” And yet, every time I hear that statement, I must see the entire thing from a third person perspective and then move way from the subject matter and see it how an astronaut from space would see the earth. All of a sudden the lines of division are more clear and distinct! It’s almost like the proverbial “gray” areas are no longer visible. Is this not strange to you??

“And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6:16-18, emphasis added).

Just wondering here, but do you see a “date” for this to be seen as to when we should be separate? No?? Neither do I. That being the case, we could or should be “separate” at any time, even today for that matter. So why would God say something like that if HE didn’t mean it?! If this is indeed from the Word of God, from God’s mouth to our ears, then would the separation taking place everywhere today have some sort of distinction to you and me?? Would that make things easier for us to see, as far as the path we all are walking in this life?

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, see ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:1-8 ).

My friends, from the very beginning everything has been simple. You are either male or female. You are tall or short, fat or thin and yet each and every one of us is unique! It must be stated as well, you are either saved by Jesus Christ or you are not and you are headed for heaven or you are headed for hell! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is SIMPLE! And with everything that is in the Bible, there is a right and a wrong, a good and an evil and the differences are in stark contrast.

Since 1948, when Israel became a recognized nation in this world, these divisions have been changing and moving and now it appears that they are becoming more distinct. As we enter into another presidential election, the lines once again are drawn and clear and as with everything else in our lives, we must make a decision. And once again, we are reminded that we are responsible for each and every decision we make, we must be wise and make an educated choice. That is not the education according to this world, but a decision through education from the Lord God. We must seek HIS will in every single decision. I am going to also add this: To choose without HIS divine will in our hearts is to decide against the Lord God.

When we look to the Lord for HIS guidence we will see the changes, the differences, and we will know they will effect us all in the price of our fuel, our food and utilities and every way possible. In this way, we come to see the basic and probably most defining difference in the world: The saved and the unsaved, the blessed and the unblessed. Indeed God’s Holy Word to you and me is distinct and the prophecy therein─is true!!

We are living in the times where we can see these things taking place on a daily basis and we should be intelligent enough to seek out the answers. The one and only place that gives that information in detail is the Word of God─the Bible. Here’s another definitive choice: Those who will read and accept the Word of God and those that will not! The question then is, “Which are you?”

May the Lord be praised and glorified!!!
