Watch!


There are many events in life that we could consider competition based.  From sports to relationships, work to kickin the ants out of our house.  And, to be truthful, none of these competitions will lead to utter death.  There might be tears when we lose.  But we get over these things in time.  There is a competition, however, that we will not get over if we lose.  Accept Jesus and His Lordship of your life now.  You can’t afford to lose this one!

Clarification


Often I’m asked if what I posted is targeted at any one person.  The answer is an absolute NO.  There will always be mirror problems in my life that might apply to someone else.  But how is my experience any different than others?  If I say, ‘Hey, you got eyes’.  That is probably going to apply to a whole lot of humans and animals.  If I say ‘you bug me’ or ‘I love you’, that will apply to an equal amount of humans and animals.  I am just like you.  Why should I judge you?  It is to God through Jesus the Christ that we all answer. 

The truth Jesus left us and is leaving us through His people remains.  It is not pointed at any one person.  It is pointed at us all.  We all stand condemned under the Law of God.  We only find safety by submitting ourselves to the sacrifice and will of Jesus.  If what I post seems to penetrate into your soul and you look at me to blame for it, you do wrong.  What the truth reveals about us is for all of us.  You can attack me or feel like I attacked you if you want to.  But if you waste your time on me you miss the Grace of God which calls us all to obedience. 

You can consider me a wild doomsayer if you want to.  What is that to me?  I was rejected by humanity from the day I was born.  Look to God.  He is the One to whom we must give account.  And all will bow the knee to Jesus and confess that He is Lord of Lords.

By His Grace.

A promise from Jesus


 32“Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.

 34“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
   ” ‘a man against his father,
      a daughter against her mother,
   a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –
    36a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[e]

 37“Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

 40“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. 42And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.” (Matthew 10)

A call to concern


Many have said the following to me:
1. You’re too negative. Everything you talk about is danger, or the end times, or critical of the world around you.
2. You say you have no friends. But it’s no wonder.
3. You’re critical of politics. But you say you believe God has His hand on the leaders.
4. I can’t take what you say, “mellow out”.
5. I want to be your friend. But I can’t take the stress you bring to the table.
6. You’re becoming an embarasment to me. Be quiet.
I say to them:
1. America is headed, very quickly, to terrible times.
2. You will see Christians beaten, striped of possessions, imprisioned, beheaded, and killed in the streets.
3. Most people I meet are oblivious to the radical changes around them.
4. I find almost no one speaking about God, the coming judgment, the return of Christ, the call to holiness demanded of Jesus for His people, or the need to turn away from materialism (which is idolatry).
5. Most believe the current times are only another bump in the political landscape. And life goes on as before.
____________________________________________

God is about to unleash all the judgments He has warned about. Many will die and be sent to hell. Few will be saved. Suffering, as never before, is right at the door. And people think I am too negative? If you can’t handle those words from me, and you can get away from me, what do you think will be the case when you stand naked and captive before the consuming fire of God when He speaks those same things?

People want me to speak “pretty” words and be joyful. I do not contain “pretty” words. And my joy is reserved for the moment I see the face of Jesus. I am a vessel containing a warning of violent things. The only way to silence me is that I should go away. I speak what I contain. And I will not silence those things. They have remained locked inside for your sake too long already.

There is a war afoot today. And things are about to get very wicked and violent. Now is the time to choose sides. “Do you not know that friendship with the world is to be an enemy of God”? Many are about to suffer unspeakable things, both un-believers and Christians. But the Christians will have help to endure. The others will not. Though God is love, that love is reserved for those who love Him and His ways. All else are His enemies. I am a warning and a witness to these things. I am not a good man, nor have I attained the holiness required by the Soverign Lord of Glory. I am only a stick redeemed from the fire.

Silence and complacency are not options. Jesus said this: ” If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross each day and follow me.  If you want to save your life, you will destroy it. But if you give up your life for me, you will save it.  What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself or waste your life?  If you are ashamed of me and my message in this wicked and adulterous generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory and in the glory of his Father and the holy angels.  .  . ”
