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.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

That is all.

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").
