Greetings;
Just a few more days the calendar
indicates that we begin SUMMER! The reports on the news by the weathermen, tell
us that we have broken all records for all times, for high temperatures, in
June. Yet, just last week Arapahoe Basin was still open to skiers. In the San
Luis Valley, my childhood birthplace, they are still experiencing frost at
night. Colorado is burning fast and furious with forest fires. Four separate
fires are currently keeping firefighters very busy. The Black Forest fire near
Colorado Springs has devastated 8,000+ acres, possible 100+- elite homes, and is
still uncontained, 15,000 folks have been asked to evacuate. Just one year ago,
on the west side of Colorado Springs, the Waldo Canon Fire consumed many
thousand acres and more than a hundred homes. We are aware of the multiple
tornados that have hit Oklahoma City / Moore area.
It appears that there are
more instances of severe weather happening than ever before? To our amazement,
very few lives have been lost. I believe that these are events that are
indicating that our Sovereign God is speaking loud and clear for America to
REPENT!
We read in the Old Testament that when people refused to follow God’s
plan and or were enemies of God’s people, he destroyed complete armies and
sects of people. And yet nothing has changed today, perhaps even got worse? I’m
reminded of the scripture where the Disciples were aware of the decant
lifestyles around them and they asked Jesus how they could take care of them.
Jesus replied by telling them to leave the tares with the wheat alone, else some
wheat would be pulled out alongside. This appears to be happening in our current
society today. Quite a few so called ministries are taking the same attitude
toward certain individuals & venues. In my mind, I probably feel the same?
I know for a fact that some folks are presenting themselves as devout born
again believers, saved, sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost and are living
double standard lives…. I’d like to expose them or worse, however; I’m very
aware we are living in the final days, and I have to maintain my dedicated walk
with the Lord, and leave the judgment to our Lord.
I’m not perfect, so don’t
misinterpret my stand! On the other side of the coin, many are just coasting
through life with no concern about their salvation. Our churches have for the
most part left the OLD TIME RELIGION preaching, and given in to the modern ways,
accommodating & caving in more and more to the ways of the world. People
aren’t being taught the WORD, so how could they live a righteous life? Maybe
because we have watered down versions of what we think / believe is the BIBLE?
Many believe that GRACE will cover all the sins? And everyone will get to
heaven, and we are free to do / believe whatever we choose?! Paul told Timothy,
to KNOW what we have been taught and by whom? To hold FAST to the teachings of
Christ. There will be a great reckoning day for many, very soon, someday, and
may now be???? So, do you think all these catastrophic events are just a
phenomena, which are we are just becoming more aware than before? In the WORD,
some folks in Bible days even said “HE delaieth HIS COMING.” Why do we not take
heed of our intuitions and convictions [if we have any] of the times at hand. I
would pray that each of us would take a serious inventory where we stand with
our Lord, don’t be so strong headed [sure] your [self] righteousness will be
sufficient to carry you through. The WORD is very clear, for those who live a
pure life what benefits are reserved for them. We don’t have to succumb to false
doctrines, government control, and I might add, relinquish our 2nd Amendment
rights.
More next time, Do I hear an AMEN?
