Loss


They capitulated with the enemy.  For the sake of warm flesh they spurned  the living God.  For the sake of 30 pieces of silver they closed their ears and eyes.  If they knew of God they closed their mouth lest what they had should be taken away.

What is warm today will rot tomorrow.  What sparkles in the sunlight will rust and decay.   See how poverty stricken you have become.  You will gain for yourself but you will not own God.

Here comes eternity,  look and see!   The place where neither flesh nor gold exists is approaching at the blinding speed.  Where is yesterday?  Reach back, if you can, and lay hold of it.  Yet tomorrow will come and lay hold of you.

They have set their hopes and joys on what will fall away at the advent of God’s presence.  Today is the day of salvation and testing.  It is not the day to amass to yourself.  On the day he appears he will give what he desires and each one will receive.  Ready or not here he comes.

Writing I wrote


I wrote because I was amazed at the gospel. 

I wrote to remember what I learned and to pass it on.

I wrote to share what I had learned.

I wrote in anger that they rejected what I wrote.

I wrote to fight against them.

I wrote to answer questions.

I wrote to fellowship and to pray.

But no one today cares anymore then the first day when I began to write.

So now I write to write.  I am sure this too will offend them.

Why?


Technological advances dawned among men some 300 years ago.  The world had not seen such things appear before then.   Why?

I also take note that these advances came to the countries which made some embrace of Christianity.   They did not come from lands under the dominion of other religions.  Why?

I marvel at how completely immersed man has become in this technology.   God has become nothing compared to a big screen tv.  No one asks for or considers healing from God.  The enticements of sexual immorality seep into everything that had been good.  And no one notices.  In fact they applaud sexual enticements of every sort.

Why has it become this way in these days?  Why does no one ask?  It has become obscene to bring up these things.  Why?

The last days have come upon man.  And he embraces them like a child does his mother.  You say you would not take the mark of the beast.  How can you say that when you take everything else he offers?

Run to Jesus to learn what you don’t know.  Beg for mercy from Him.  Only He can open your eyes.  Only Jesus can pull you loose from satan’s ploys.  If you scoff at these things, it is proof that you do not have the eyes of a Christian.  Think about it.
