a threat? and a plea....

I find it very interesting that since I added that video there is now a "possible threat" message that pops up when I access my blog.
Really?
Really...a threat?
Or, could it be the content that is objectionable?
After all, it shows Pastor Joe...(yikes)...praying to God for forgiveness because we have turned away from God's morality, in fact God's Law.
In exchange for what?
That's right, how could I forget; man is god.
Man knows best.
What a delusion....a very sad delusion that is ushering people right into the hands of the enemy who exclaims, "HA! Gotcha!".
I ask you, my Christian friends, do you feel an urgency to seek out the lost and tell them of God's glorious love and salvation?
Because I believe our time is running short here, our lives are like a vapor, the bible says, and I can see it dissepating before my very eyes.
Have you heard of the "internet neutrality laws" that this administration is trying to pass?
They are trying to silence us, the conservative voice that believes in a Creator God because it flies in the face of everything they stand for!!!!!
There is an agenda and IT IS EVIL!!!!!!!!
The news last week(not the mainstream-fringe media like ABC NBC CBS CNN MSNBC) talked of the new alliance between Turkey and Iran/Syria/Russia/China which is fulfillment of biblical prophecy in Ezekiel 38.
Please, please don't dismiss this as the same ol' rhetoric that every generation speaks of because the signs point to an imminent return of the Lord Jesus for His Church.
Even Jesus said, "when you see the buds on the almond tree you know spring is coming, so it will be in the last days...when you see the signs, you'll know that I am coming..."
If you are reading this and something is resonating in you that there is something wrong, but you can't quite put a finger on it.
Ask yourself this: why are we still here?
If you are a follower of Jesus Christ then I believe the answer is simple: we are here to fulfill the great commission...to go forth and make disciples of all men.
If you are not a believer/follower of Jesus then maybe the answer lies in the fact that God loves you so much that He created you in His image and He has great plans for you, plans for good and not for evil to give you a future and a hope. God is a holy God and He cannot allow sin into His presence. Don't be offended by that, please, we are ALL sinful: the bible says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. So, He made a way for us to be with Him in heaven....He sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to be the sacrifice that was needed to cover our sin, EVERYONE'S sin, for all time. God didn't leave it at that! He raised him from the dead after 3 days and now Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us! Jesus did that for you, for me, because He loves us so much that He couldn't bear to be without us.
Ask yourself this: if you were to die tonight, where would you spend your eternity?
There are only 2 options: this is not very PC but it doesn't make it any less true...the only 2 options are eternity with God(heaven) or eternity without God(hell).
The bible says in Romans "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved."
It's all about faith in Him and letting Him be the Lord of your life that begins a beautiful relationship between you and God.
It really is that simple.
God is waiting....He is knocking on the door of your heart. Won't you let Him come in?

well said. and so true. we are definitely closer to the end than we were yesterday. and who knows how much longer?
i really, really, really, really, really believe that we not only need to focus on bringing people to Christ, but we need to also disciple those who have come to faith, but have not "grown". i really, really think it's the lukewarmness everywhere that is going to make some miss it! completely miss it! especially those who think they haven't missed it! they are missing it because the truth is mixed with garbage and presented as truth. ah....the time is limited. for certain. "decide today whom you will serve!" words from long ago, resounding today!
you sure know how to get me fired up! :)
