To be, or not to be

Every generation has it's sorrows; the temptation to descend and the opportunity to rise above. "I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today: I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse. Choose life so that you and your children will live."

Pray that we still have elections this fall.

That is all.

If you read this, please pray for the people of the world.

This morning I asked the Lord, "how do I warn Your people? Who will listen? What should I tell them?  What words should I say that they will listen to?"  Shortly after, I found myself crying because most people will not listen.  I'm telling you, time is running out.  In a very short time we are going to see unpleasant changes the likes of which we have not seen before.  The "storm" is going to come much faster than we think.  It will be much more severe than we think.  If you are not prepared, it will be devastating.  I realize some peoples' definition of "imminent" is different than mine, but people, this is imminent.  Maybe not in the next 6 months or even 12, but it is imminent.  It's truly not a matter of "if" but when.  This will come to pass - in your lifetime unless your life cut short.  My only prayer is that you will hang on to Jesus like never before.  Take a hold of Him and don't let go.

I'd like to shout "peace! peace!" and whatever lovely thing you would want to hear, but that is not what's coming next.  If you believe this is false, then I feel sorry for you because you won't be prepared.  Let each one's work be revealed for what it is, whether it is of God or of the flesh.  So be it.

PLEASE WAKE UP!!

People, please, please wake up!  Our works are getting ready to be burned up. I've seen it - people really are saying, "no, this will never happen.  Things are fine!" "We don't need to prepare, we have everything we need!"  I've seen it.  I say this will all humility because I will go through this, too.  My fleshly works will be burned up.

People, we don't realize just how poor we really are.  You are not rich.  Our possessions mean nothing - nothing. Your clothes mean nothing because you are walking around bare-butt naked and don't even know it.  By the time you realize you've been stripped it will be too late.

His Word is LIFE

As I was listening to the sermon today, I began thinking about how much I love God's Word, and just hearing it gives me a wonderful peace.  After listening to His Words, I feel refreshed, energized and have an over all sense of well-being.  The Scriptures tell us that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, that the Truth will set us free, that He is the Word.

While there is a whole sermon series that could be written on that alone, today let me just encourage you to find healing for your soul in God's Word. Proverbs 4:20-22  "My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh."

Never Fail No-Bake Cookies

Just like it says - never fails.  This is a double batch.  You can halve it if necessary, but if your house is like mine, you may as well make the double.

2012 Version 2.0 Gloom, Despair, Agony on me!

Okay, folks.  Time to get serious.  Stop the mocking and wake up.  This is not a fear message, and if you think it is, then stop reading and get the heck out.  I don't want to deal with you.  I'm done dealing with mockers and people who don't have the sense to actually listen to what people are saying. I don't even care if you think I sound like one of those lunatics who think we all need bunkers.  I'm not that, but I don't care if you think I am.

I need to tell you this, and I'm going to. If you are in the position God wants you to be in, then you are on the right track and have absolutely nothing to fear.  You just need to be sure you're on that track.  There is still some time to prepare, but that window is closing fast.  If you've been procrastinating, now is the time to stop and get serious.  How should you prepare?  I urge you to get on your knees and ask God about that.  I don't know what your particular situation is - everyone's is different.  Your position in life is unique, your calling is unique.  God has specific plans for YOU.  But there are a few things that you and everyone else should be doing, and you need to be doing them now.  Get started if you haven't already.

2012

I've been asked if I'm hearing anything about what's going to happen in 2012.  Currently, all I'm hearing is for my personal life and for those who are walking a similar path to mine.  For me and those walking that like-path, it's going to be a very positive year.  Where we have been faithful we will see increase (Luke 16:10 "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest and unjust in a very little thing is dishonest and unjust also in much").
