Forty Years

1 Comment

I don’t think a majority of people (especially here in America) are afraid to do evil.
But we should be, don’t you think?
Don’t you think we should be afraid to sin against GOD?
Shouldn’t we fear the consequences of doing evil?

1 Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD, so He delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.  source Judges 13

Forty years.
For forty years the Israelites were slaves to the Philistines. Why? Because they did evil in the sight of the LORD.

What is evil?
The simple answer — sin.

Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  (KJV)

James 4:4“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”   (KJV)

Adultery.  Just one of the evils men/women practice. Are they afraid?
They should be.
What else is evil?

Mark 7: 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.  21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,  22 Thefts,  covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.  (KJV)

Are we getting the picture?
ALL sin is evil and we should be deathly afraid of committing evil against the LORD GOD.  And yet unregenerate men and women cannot help themselves – You see we are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners.

Have we listed all the evils mankind commits?
Not even close.

So now what?
Back to Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  (KJV)

It’s a fine place to start.

Isaiah 55:6 “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” (KJV)

Is HE near you?
Do you sense you need a Savior?
Then agree with Him and believe Him now, while you can.

Missing Tears

Leave a comment

Why are people immune to HOLY SPIRIT?
I mean it is His job (John 16:8) to convict (convince) people of sin, of Righteousness and Judgment to come.
I mean that is one of the major reasons He is here; can you imagine GOD not doing His job?
Me either. So what is hindering? What could be hindering people from receiving deliverance from sin to forgiveness and LIFE?

Why am I thinking this way?

Sunday.
Sunday the Minister preached a Bible Message – a real Bible Message from Mark 14, starting at verse 32. He brought it home.
There were lots of people there.
Let’s be honest here when lots of people gather even at a preaching service, lots are lost. They may be church members but by the lives they live Monday through Saturday the evidence of salvation is woefully lacking. I’ve heard staggering numbers, although at the moment I can’t put my fingers on them, that as many as 80% of church members are not saved.

Why do people remain lost, when the REAL Gospel is preached?
Why do people in pews sit unmoved — like this very past Sunday?

I think I know one of the reasons.
I cried over them on Sunday but . . . even then I knew my tears were too few.

Too few I fear are the tears of the really saved for the really lost.

19 Quench not the Spirit.

A Piece of Stone

3 Comments

And the Virgin brought forth her firstborn son. 
A cave and a piece of stone chiseled out for food or perhaps water for lambs. 
From His mother’s womb to her loving arms to a slab of stone — it was the best they could do for Him.

Thirty-three and a half or so years quickly passed and she was there to watch His body placed on another cold, hard piece of stone, this one hewed for a wealthy man. A borrowed tomb.
I am so thankful, He wouldn’t need it long.

Mark 16: 1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.  2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.  3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?  4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.  5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.  6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.  7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.   source 

I thoroughly believe Mary all the days of her life did the best she could by her Son, especially on that day whatever day it was that she also KNEW HE was her LORD. 
I would that we all do our best by HIM, that is by knowing HIM as our LORD. 

Life is hard, BUT GOD is good!
