This morning, I woke up singing “O what a beautiful morning” from the Musical “Oklahoma.” After breakfast, I jumped on the internet as is my daily habit. My singing stopped. The opening page was about the Russian war with Ukraine. The headlines screamed, “Russia has launched a wave of drone and missile attacks across Ukraine last night. Here is what the opening page said:

Ukrainians woke up to the sounds of sirens and explosions after widespread Russian airstrikes.

However, not everyone was able to seek cover in time, and at least one person was killed and 24 were injured after an attack in the northern city of Zaporizhzhia, including three children, local officials said. The attacks reportedly prompted NATO to gather its warplanes in Poland near the Ukrainian border.

This was happening while Israeli warplanes were also bombing the enemy in Gaza in a final attempt to destroy Hamas once and for all, which I see as an exercise in futility – since other radicalized and evil people pop up from within their prodigy – whom they train and indoctrinate from infancy. If that isn’t evil, then I don’t know what is. In the meantime, the Houthis in Yemen were beginning an assault on Israel that would last until today.

With this confirmation that the end is near, I grew somber and lapsed back into the reality of these perilous times. So, as I’ve been doing for most of my life, I went to my new mission station (Walmart) – where for the past several days I’ve been handing out my “business” cards and calling on people to repent and seek salvation found only in Christ Jesus. Most people have reacted in the affirmative, but today, 8/31/2025, the first three people I encountered resisted me. I was troubled but nevertheless carried on – knowing that God had my back as He has been for the past forty-five years.  Also, I had read the scriptural admonition to carry on despite the affronts.

Remembering this, I forged ahead and was rewarded like never before.

Three mornings before, I had awakened with a sprained ankle, which hurt and left me limping, so I had mounted a riding cart at my Walmart station. While looking around, I had found one in the parking lot near where I parked – that was my first miracle of the day. Next was electronics. A young man I had witnessed to while buying a tiny card for my phone to store stuff on; it was not working. I asked him to help me, and he did. This happened after Verizon told me I needed a new phone, which I knew was a scam. “I haven’t done this in a while, but I’ll see what I can do,” he said. Sure enough, he fooled with it, and like magic, my phone works like new now.

My attempts slowly began to gain momentum, and people were responding with grace and humility to my message. Soon, I was beginning to run out of the last of my cards, so I asked the Lord to lead me to someone who would make good use of the remainder of the thousand cards I’d been handing out since June.

On the way through the parking lot, I came upon a man who was loading his trunk with food and other goodies. “Pardon me, sir,” I said as I held out one of my cards and told him the QR on the card was my website, urging people to repent and receive Christ as time was running out for humanity to do so. The older man chortled, “Shucks, man, I don’t need no salvation; I’m a born-again Christian!”

“Well then, how about for your relatives and friends and neighbors?”

“We’re ALL Christians, man.”

“If what you say is true, then maybe you should be out doing what I’m doing, warning people of the things to come and to repent.”

“Oh well, maybe you’re right.”

“Here, take a few to give to people you care about,” I said as I gave the cards to him.

I continued handing out the cards inside the store and had done well. But once outside again, after I had only gotten about fifty feet into the parking lot, the riding cart stopped of its own accord. Try as I might, I couldn’t get it to budge. I clicked it on and off and even rocked back and forth. Then it hit me; there was a reason for this to have happened. God was lining something up, and the timing had to be perfect. (This has been happening over and over as of late.)

Sure enough, after three or so minutes, the thing abruptly started running again. Now I had to figure a quicker way to my car before the temperamental beast locked up again. My sore ankle was throbbing.

Looking over my left shoulder, I saw a nice opening between two lines of cars, so I made my way there. Halfway through, I noticed that an older couple was just finishing loading up the trunk of their car at the far end. The man slammed the trunk shut and walked over to the driver’s side and got in. His apparent wife swung out into my way to get into the passenger side. “Oop’s!” I called out. The woman smiled and flagged me forward. Just then, I realized I might have a taker for the remaining cards – about six.

“Ma’am, I’m out here compelling people to repent and receive Christ with these cards. Are you a Christian? I asked? (Today, I was targeting Christians.) “Why yes, I am; in fact, my husband is a preacher,” she said.

“Then you might like to take the last of my cards to pass out to the people,” I said happily.

“I most certainly will, and thank you so very much!” she replied.

In summation, I just thought you should know this about Issac Newton:

Newton expressed his belief that Bible prophecy would not be understood “until the time of the end,” and that even then “none of the wicked shall understand.” Referring to that as a future time (“the last age, the age of opening these things be now approaching”), Newton also anticipated “the general preaching of the Gospel be approaching” and “the Gospel must first be preached in all nations before the great tribulation, and end of the world.”

Over the years, a large amount of media attention and public interest has circulated regarding largely unknown and unpublished documents, evidently written by Isaac Newton, that indicate he believed the world could end in 2060. While Newton also had many other possible dates (e.g., 2034),^[41] he did not believe that the end of the world would take place specifically in 2060.

Matthew 5:14-16: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.” (ESV – all emphasis is mine.)

The state I grew up in had the shores of four of the five Great Lakes. I had the opportunity of visiting lighthouses on three of those lakes, and was impressed with their size. There were no elevators to go from the ground to the top level, so climbing stairs was necessary. Being a whole lot younger, that task was not too difficult, but it definitely took effort to get to the top. These enormous structures are responsible for giving guidance to the operators of numerous vessels of all sizes, and to direct them away from near-shore hazards that could cause real problems and possibly even cause a vessel to sink.

One thing that was obvious; the lighthouse had to be working to be of any use. Our Savior is our Lighthouse, that is, our constant source of guidance and truth, offering us a path away from darkness. He is with us 24/7.

This was His comment to us in John 8:12: “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life.” In Psalm 119:105, we’re told about the Father: “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.”

The true Bible – the versions taken from the original sources – is definitely a “Lighthouse” for all who choose to read God’s word. Just prior to reading from Scripture every day, it helps me to ask the Father to open my mind to what He wants me to learn from that reading. I also ask Him to show me how to apply His word to my daily life.

It’s understandable that anyone unfamiliar with Scripture might have issues as to its reliability. Satan goes out of his way to make us believe that the Holy Word is fantasy (1 Corinthians 1:18). He’s done the same ever since Genesis 3:1 by saying, “Did God actually say…?” His goal is to cause confusion, and he has not stopped even up to today. The problem is, his tactic still works on many people.

Satan and his demons (fallen angels – Revelation 12:4) know what their ultimate outcome will be. Being a pure source of evil, he wants to pull as many souls away from our Savior as possible. Jesus stated their outcome in Matthew 25:41: “Then He will say to those on the left, depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”

Unlike humans, Satan and his fallen angels have no pathway to forgiveness. After all, they had been in the presence of our Heavenly Father, yet they chose to turn against Him.

Revelation 19:20 gives the fate of the ultimate antichrist and his false prophet; Revelation 20:10 is Satan’s final fate; and Revelation 20:11-15 is the Great White Throne Judgment. All who will be at this final judgment will be cast into the lake of fire with Satan forever. There will be no pardons or limited sentences there. It will be for all who were out of the will of God prior to Calvary, and for all who took their last breath on this earth after Calvary to the end without Jesus as their Savior.

Satan tries his best to get us to turn away from our Savior. He uses guilt trips to try and make us feel as if we’ve sinned so badly that we could not possibly be forgiven. However, only one sin is presently in the unforgivable category, and that’s to die without having Jesus as your Savior.

John gives us God’s promise in 1 John 1:8-10: “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”

It would not be a good idea to call our Heavenly Father a liar. We need to remember He already knows our every thought and action. The fact that He’s willing to forgive us because He knows we’re imperfect is a true blessing in itself.

He sent a special part of Himself to this evil world to become the only blood sacrifice He could ever accept. Our Jesus freely gave Himself to be that sacrifice on a cruel cross at Calvary. When He arose from the dead, He conquered sin and death for all who truly will receive and accept Him.

He is absolutely our “Lighthouse.” In 1970, Ronny Hinson wrote a song called “The Lighthouse,” and it is an inspirational tribute to our Beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ.

1.) There’s a Lighthouse on a hillside that overlooks life’s sea. When I’m tossed, it sends out a light, a light that I might see. And the Light that shines in darkness now will safely lead me Home. If it wasn’t for the Lighthouse, my ship would sail no more.

Ref) And I thank God for the Lighthouse; I owe my life to Him, for Jesus is the Lighthouse, and from the rocks of sin, He has shown the light around me, that I might clearly see. If it weren’t for the Lighthouse, tell me, where would this ship be?

2.) Everybody who lives around me says tear that Lighthouse down. For the big ships don’t sail this way anymore; ain’t no use of it standing around. But then my mind goes back to the stormy night, when just in time, I saw the Light, yes, the Light from that old Lighthouse, that stands up there on the hill. (Ref x 2)

If you haven’t received Jesus as your Savior and accepted His free gift of eternal life with Him, now would be a good time to do so. We are not guaranteed another day here, as the “twinkling of an eye” (1 Corinthians 15:52) could happen any second now.

With the coming seven-year tribulation, events on this earth will be far worse than has ever been experienced so far. Having Jesus as your Savior will guarantee that you will not be here for all that horrible mess.

The process to have Jesus as your Savior is not hard, even though some may try to make it so. First, Admit that you’re a sinner, as we all are (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23), and we cannot save ourselves. Second, Believe that Jesus came to this earth in human form, and was the only person to have lived a sinless life. His sin-free shed blood at Calvary is the only sacrifice our Heavenly Father could ever accept, and that one sacrifice was sufficient to cover all past, present, and future sins. Finally, Call out to the Savior to forgive you, and to provide a forever Home with Him in Heaven. These are commonly known as the “A-B-Cs” of Salvation.

The only difficult part is to believe this is all true. It’s a promise from our Creator, who cannot, nor will not, lie (Titus 1:2).

Today would not be too soon; tomorrow could be too late. Have the assurance that no matter when the Rapture takes place, you will be with those rising up to meet our Jesus in the air, and to be with Him forever.

Hope to see you there!
