I must be the most spoiled of God's children. I say that out of reflection from an event that happened just today.For the past 4 years, I've been out there driving up and down, across and back again, every highway across this nation, this U.S.While my daughter and grandson established a new life in this small town in Arizona, I remained a stranger as I only saw home about 3 days out of each year.I've stopped that merry-go-round and home at last. I'm not much of a socialite and so it's taking time to get to know the folks at this little church, where my daughter has been attending. As I learn about the individuals, as well as the church itself, I keep finding myself sitting with a gaping mouth in wonder.It seems there is a young mother, in the church, who thinks I don't like her. It's the strangest thing that simply because I had not accompanied my daughter to help with a project at the church, this young woman thinks she somehow offended me.Seeing the puzzled look on my face,...

So Sad and yet I have to kick myself to care
2007-04-30 03:27:00
Was that blunt? I'm sorry. Didn't sound very Christian, did it. Well, what can I say?Where do people get the idea that Christianity is door mat stuff, anyway? I love the Lord with all my heart and will do anything I can to help others in need and others who want to understand Him. When I run across people who don't want to hear it, I have a REALLY hard time caring if they ever do.Both Christian and non-believers would call me on the carpet for those statements and I just plain don't care. Well, I care that it bothers them but not enough to change. That make sense? So my question in return would be, where did you get these ideas? You think I'm not living up to Jesus example? Really? Anybody ever bother to really read the stories about Jesus, the stories written by His closest friends?He spoke - they heard or didn't. Up to them. There was a good reason for that, you know.Believers would think I'm harsh and unloving. That's not true, I'm just like God in that respect. I see th...

Is The End Near?
2007-04-29 17:23:00
I've heard the arguments and it's just so much nonsense. You will hear "yeah and a thousand times before, people have said this is the last days".What's different now? Well, point blank, every prophecy fulfilled where in the past they were not.You see, people have (throughout history) thought they were following the signs and knew they were living on the last day of this world. The problem was, they were reading the wrong book, filling between the lines or just plain letting their imaginations run wild.There has never before, been a time when all that the Bible said would be in place at the last days, was actually in place until now.I am one of the first born of the last generation. Born in Jan of 1946. Israel came back into its own in 1948. The bible says the generation that sees the beginnings of these things shall also see the end. The beginning was Israel coming back into its own land and once again becoming a nation.The jews were scattered throughout the world, after the dea...

Is the Rapture Real?
2007-04-29 17:19:00
So much argument about the rapture and so silly to question it.For me, it's the most simple thing in the world and yet it seems so many, even scholars, are confused about when and how.When you stand back and look at the basics, just plain simple logic, you will see the picture clearly.The Word says the comforter must be removed before the anti-christ can come into his power. Where is the comforter?The Lord Jesus told us, in plain language that the comforter was given to us (the believer) when Jesus ascended. Until that time, the comforter abided in Jesus.The only reason the comforter has for being on this world, is to abide in the believer. So if the comforter leaves, so must we, as He is promised only to us.IF the comforter must leave before the anti-christ can come into power then we must leave also. Otherwise, there is no way for the comforter to leave at all and still keep the Lord's promise.It would seem a logical deduction to believe in the rapture, as it's the only referen...
