TEN MINUTES A DAY WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

February 18, 2023 By Leave a Comment

When this works, and ten minutes changes your life, you may very well add more minutes for more blessings.

ANY INDIVIDUAL—
Five minutes the very first thing every morning.
Five minutes the very last thing every night.
+Ask Jesus to come and be in charge of all of your day, and all of your night, and thank Him.
+Read something in your Bible.

ANY COUPLE—
Each person start with this, separately:
Five minutes the very first thing every morning.
Five minutes the very last thing every night.
+Ask Jesus to come and be in charge of all of your day, and all of your night, and thank Him.
+Read something in your Bible.

After each person is doing that for a week or more, continue doing so separately, and add doing the same together.

ANY FAMILY WITH CHILDREN AT HOME—
Each parent start with this, separately:
Five minutes the very first thing every morning.
Five minutes the very last thing every night.
+Ask Jesus to come and be in charge of all of your day, and all of your night, and thank Him.
+Read something in your Bible.

After each person is doing that for a week or more, continue doing so separately, and add doing the same together.

After doing that for a week or more together, then add this, together with your children:
+Tell them what you have been doing. (If your children are grown and not at home, tell them also.)
+Give each of them a Bible passage to read aloud.
+After a week or more, give each of them a longer passage or chapter to read aloud.

By then you will know what to do about time and conversation and questions and praying.

NO BETTER

February 18, 2023 By Leave a Comment

It does not make any of us a better person if we are inclusive or compatible with erroneous ideas and beliefs, even those held by friends or relatives, or by the voting majority or the vocal minority, or by political leaders or religious leaders, or by those threatening our reputation or our livelihood.

THERE’S A HOLE IN THE SHIP

February 18, 2023 By Leave a Comment

There’s a hole in the ship, and we’re going down—Titanic.

There’s a hole in the ship, and we’re going down—America.

The hole in the ship of America is abortion.

– – –

Lord, have mercy/judgment on the states that shake their fists in the face of God, and vehemently advocate enlarging the hole of abortion in the ship of America.

How long can this go on?

+mercy ? — How could that happen?”
Americans in abortion states would have to repent of personal sins and repent of voting for democrats.
All but two democrats (from Texas) voted against a bill in the House of Representatives to keep babies alive that survive abortion.

+judgment ? — How could that happen?
God has His ways—look through history and His Word, what He does with “the wicked” and “all the nations that forget God.”
The only judgment that is off limits for God is a worldwide flood.
He used enemy armies.
He used slavery.
He used snakes.
He used earthquakes.
He used cracks in the ground that swallowed thousands.
He used fire and brimstone (supernatural nukes).
He used wars.
He used drought.
He used famine.
He used famine of His Word.
He used death.
He used “giving them over” to their own abominations, with natural consequences.

The judgments of 9-11 worked for only a few weeks.
The economic judgment of 2008 brought change in finances without change in hearts.
Tests in weather and tests in power grid failures don’t seem to change anything.
Increased murders and isolated terrorist attacks don’t bring repentance to revival.

– – –

So how could judgment of God happen today?
He will decide how.
BUT HE WILL JUDGE ! ! !
He could bury California in the Pacific.
He could bury New York and Washington in nuclear rubble.
He could bury all our technology in fried electronics with the sun or an emp.
He could order a hundred or a thousand simultaneous terrorist attacks to bring us to our knees.
He could let ninety percent of Americans starve without electricity.

– – –

We are totally dependent on everything that is fragile, but not dependent on God.
AND THAT IS UNSUSTAINABLE.
How about you ?

– – –

God bless the states that end this disaster of abortion now.
But they are still part of America, at least for now.
Just like this country 160 years ago in the Civil War, “this union cannot exist half slave and half free”—likewise America today cannot survive, cannot endure half death and half life.

SHOULD BE – – – SHOULD HAVE BEEN

February 18, 2023 By Leave a Comment

As times get more intense (ominous, prophetic, end-times obvious)—
“Should be any time now . . .”*

As times get really bad, and worse (obviously end-times prophecy fulfilled)—
“Should have happened by now . . .”*

– – –

This is troubling.
As long as certain events haven’t happened yet, and as long as Christians in America aren’t in really big trouble yet, we can maintain our position of “We’re out of here before it gets too bad.”

Troubling, yes, because . . .
The American Christian experience has been the exception to the rest of Christian history and the rest of Christian experience around the world today.

If you applied the prevailing teaching on the timing of the rapture in many other places, the reaction would be, “God’s a little late.”

*Rapture—
“Should happen about now.”
“Should have happened by now.”
What if it doesn’t happen in time, in the time frame most preachers seem so confident about?
What if the minority view is more right?
What if a consensus doesn’t determine the end time sequence?
What if God’s calendar is not what we think it should be?

LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY TO LIFE

February 18, 2023 By Leave a Comment

Only one very limited access ramp, but clearly marked.

Then, not a freeway, not a four-lane interstate.

Many very inviting exit ramps, heavily advertised, pressure to detour.

As promised, the road is actually very narrow, only one lane, and it gets rougher along the way.

Like the Christmas song:
“I’m not one to question what angels have to say, but this is such a strange way to save the world.”
That seemed true when angels told of Jesus’ birth.

It was confirmed when Jesus grew up and taught, “Wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there be that go there. Strait (limited) is the gate, and narrow is the way, that leads to life, and few there be that find it.”

Jesus is the Way—the only Way.
The Bible says so.
