.... you brothers are
not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a
thief....
1 Corinthians 15: 51, 52 -- 51Behold,
I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Paul talking to the Christians at Corinth,
saying listen my brothers, we are not all going to die, but we are all
going to be changed, the dead are going to be raised first - spiritual
and glorified, then we Christians who are alive will be changed too. --

My word for this
month and for life is this: He who wins souls is wise. I've been
doing a lot of reading over the past week or two. Two of the books have
been on Hell. I already read one book, which was so, so, but the book
I'm reading now is really unbelievable. I'll hopefully be done finish
reading the book soon.
All I can say is that I
know personally in my life that I've been totally underestimating Hell.
The book I'm reading will put the fear of God in you, believe me. The
Book is called called 23 minutes in Hell, there's a link to it on the
homepage. If you read the Bible and take the verses about Hell
literally, and to heart, You will come to the deduction, that Hell is so
unbelievably, incomprehensible, in that it is terrorizing and traumatic, that for anybody
in this life, to not take God or the Bible serious, is just plain crazy.
And I know that I am 100% guilty as others who have or may have
underestimated this place, and God, - in not giving God His just
due.
When you think about it, we are
all at God's mercy. All I can say is that reading the Bible is
important. I just purchased a Daily Bible, and I'm going to read the
Bible everyday! Believe it. (as much as it is in my power) I did say to
to God the other day too, that I would read the Bible every day for one
hour. (Normally if I read the Bible for an hour, I'll
read the Bible all day :) lol's -- Bible reading is
important. I was reading a book to the other day by Woodrow Kroll, from
Back to the Bible, it's a really good book, called "Turning Your Life
Around With God's Word." I believe.
There was a quote in the
Book from one of our past Presidents - Woodrow Wilson, He said, ' I feel
sorry for the men who do not read the Bible every day '....
There was a really good
movie on TBN the other night about Joseph, and Jacob. At one part in the
movie, Jacob was talking or arguing with his sons, (without Joseph or Benjamin I believe) and said how can I honor
my sons if they will not honor me.
My Bible advice is: Be
Transformed by the Renewing of your mind! -- Read the Bible!!! - And to
become a Son of God, click on the link below :)
[ Back to the topic of Hell ] The
attack on the Twin Towers 9/11, is a perfect description of the insanity
of Hell. There was a woman who was way up in the building, I
believe, and instead of facing the fire that was ' 2,000 degrees,
which would of incinerated her in 15 seconds, ' she jumped to her
death than to face the fire. - (From the Book '23 minutes
in Hell)
That is like Hell.
I am under the
impression that Hell is located under this earth. Beneath our very feet,
there is most likely a place where people this very moment are in agony.
The core of the earth is 12,000 degrees (From the Book
'23 minutes in Hell). If Hell is
anywhere near there, man you need to know that Jesus is the only way to
not end up in that place. According to the Bible, Hell which will become
the Lake of Fire is a real place. That's why Jesus is called a Savior,
to save us from sin and to ultimately I would say, to save us from this
place of Hopeless, incomprehendable, fright and terror of pain and
torment or simply stated: Eternal Punishment. The only way out of
Eternal Punishment is to choose to learn from and follow Jesus.
Ok I want to write this
paragraph from Woodrow Kroll's Book, ' Turning Your Life Around with
God's Word '
www.backtotheblible.org
"British Anthropologist John D.
Unwin carefully studied eighty civilizations that have risen and fallen
over a thousand years. He discovered that a similar pattern ran through
each. In every civilization, people started out with strong moral
values and a healthy emphasis on the family. Over time, however,
conservative attitudes became more liberal, and the result was the
decline of society's moral values. The family subsequently deteriorated,
and society began to fall apart. In all eighty cases, the destruction of
the nation was related to the destruction of the family. In most cases,
that civilization collapsed within one generation of the destruction of
the family unit. History proves that as the family goes, so goes the
nation."
I'm going to quote Woodroll
Kroll for the next two paragraphs that follow the above,
"Unwins' study is not good
news for America. If the strength of the family's moral fiber
indicates the strength of society's moral fiber, no wonder we've
come unraveled. When the Bible is not a daily part of family life,
the family is sure to be fractured and society's stability
threatened.
How effective are you at
implementing God's plan in your family? If the stability of society
depends on the strength of your family, and the strength of your
family depends on the quantity and quality of your time in the Word,
how much time does society have left?"
So I
ask the question how much time do we have left? --Looking at
the Current Hour of The United States Of America, This is some of what
you see unfortunately: 40-50 million abortions, divorce at
maybe 1/2 the population, homosexuality trying to get a foot-hold,
rampant pornography, and God being ex-communinicated from Public Life.
I
think we
have got to be kidding ourselves if we think life is going to remain the
same for much longer. God is going to intervene at some point.
However nobody knows God's thoughts, for
'God's
thoughts/ways are far above our thoughts/ways, As The Heavens are above the
earth,' but given the above historical evidence - when virtue and morality lose
influence, which is pretty much God's Will, destruction happens.
There are a lot of good things about the The USA too, a lot, but the
hearts of the people are being led away from God, because there is a
lack of Bible reading.
This is the Daily Bible I just bought: MacArthur
Daily
Bible.
Me, I'm going to the only safe
place -- Back to Reading The Bible. And I'm going to try and save
souls :) Check this out to get involved in God's Work:
Blessed be God, Forever!
