Perhaps a better way of saying that—
UNBORN BABIES ARE HUMAN !
THOSE WHO SUPPORT ABORTION ARE NOT HUMAN !
#5 DANGERS IN CHRISTIANITY

The most dangerous oxymoron in Christianity is FINANCIAL SECURITY.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

The most dangerous financial status in Christianity is WANTING TO BE RICH.
“Those who will (want to) be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.”

The most dangerous place to be a Christian is AMERICA.
“Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.”

I shared this at Church In The Park a few weeks ago.
There is a parallel between a Bible verse on prayer and an experience with Jesus and His disciples applying the verse in real life, VERY REAL LIFE !
THE PRAYER
“Call upon Me in the day of trouble . . .”—that’s A.
There’s more to the verse, but I stop there because we should just stop there when we pray—in trouble, any trouble, none too big, none too small—and not add our suggestions how God should take care of the trouble, and not think of how we might take care of the trouble ourselves.
God knows our trouble, but He wants us to specifically call out what the trouble is, and repeat what He said, aloud, “Lord, I’m calling on You in this day of trouble.”
It’s a good time to say and do this, “Be still, and know that I Am God.”
That’s what it means to “Cast all your care on Him.”
Then, while you’re waiting on God, immediately pick up doing whatever task is clearly in front of you—carefree.
THE PRAYER
“Lord, save us; don’t you care that we’re going to drown.”—that’s A.
Jesus’ disciples were in trouble, serious trouble, and they called on Jesus.
They got that right—but first they tried their best to take care of the trouble themselves—they hesitated to call on Jesus for help, until they were at wits end.
Notice the second part of their calling on Jesus in their day of trouble—Jesus was sleeping in the boat, on a cushion, in the storm that threatened their lives, like He didn’t care.
Do we ever think Jesus is sleeping on the job, sleeping in our boat, like He doesn’t care?
THE ANSWER
“. . . I will deliver you . . .”—that’s B.
That’s God’s job, without any help from us, no matter how many people say God helps those who help themselves (not Biblical !).
Besides, if God takes care of the trouble, delivers us, He wants all the credit, not halfway.
How much do we need God—all the way, or halfway ?
We know what God can do—it’s amazing what He will do, if we stop . . .
THE ANSWER
“Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.”—that’s B.
God does His job.
Not our job—we can’t do it, even if we think we can, even if we try.
Some times, many times, God seems to take extra measures to make sure we can’t, and get us to understand that, sooner than later, before He delivers.
THE GLORY
“. . . and you will glorify Me.”—that’s C.
All glory to God, all the time, every time.
If we think we did half of the deliverance ourselves, we will give ourselves half of the credit, half of the glory.
“. . . don’t forget to thank Him for His answers.”
When God gets our attention, putting us in a situation where we have to call on Him, we must thank Him, glorify Him.
Important side note—when God gets our attention, He wants to know how long He will have our attention.
And He will send repeated circumstances to remind us when we forget to call on Him and glorify Him.
THE GLORY
“And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, ‘Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!’”—that’s C.
Giving God all the glory means standing in awe of what God can do, what He just did, for me—sometimes with fear and trembling.
God is “a friend that sticks closer than a brother”, and we “call on Him in the day of trouble”, AND He is to be feared because He is God.
“His ways are higher than our ways; His thoughts above our thoughts.”

HOW DO YOU KNOW ?

? How do you know if it’s Killer Bees ?
? How do you know if it’s The Big One (terrorist attack) ?
? How do you know if it’s The Mark of the Beast ?
? How do you know if it’s The End/Your End ?
Who can you tell ?
Who can you ask ?
– – –
– – –
++ How do you know if you’re getting attacked by killer bees ?
You’ll know !
Sad, but true.
Might not be able to tell anyone, unless help arrives quickly.
You can ask now, and get some information–
— Killer bees don’t look different.
— Killer bees aren’t more poisonous.
— Killer bees kill by shear numbers of stings.
— Killer bees don’t stop, once they attack.
— The only defense against killer bees is getting inside a closed room or vehicle.
— Pray for Medical Help !
– – – – – –
++ How do you know if the next terrorist attack—The Big One—is happening ?
You’ll know !
Sad, but true.
Might not be able to tell anyone, because The Big One could include canceling our communications, as well as the rest of our infrastructure that depends on electronics or the electric grid.
If they choose to , our enemies can eliminate anything we are accustomed to for survival.
There will be little chance to ask for information or help then.
There will be universal breakdown of everything—nothing will work—everyone will panic, just trying to stay alive.
You can ask now, and get some information–
— The Big One means no electricity and no restoring electricity like we expect after natural disasters.
— The Big One means everyone will get fiercely hungry within a few days, and kill for food for survival.
— The Big One means many will die in a few days, many more will die in a few weeks, most Americans will die in a few months, and ninety percent of Americans will die within a year.
— The Big One means you must have a reliable, self-sustaining means of long-term survival in place now, and the means and willingness to defend it against all attackers.
— The Big One means our enemies can also use the threat of what is described above, to force us to surrender, to slavery.
— Pray for Supernatural Help !

++ How do you know if it’s The Mark of the Beast ?
You’ll know !
You could know !
Sad, but true—it will happen !
You COULD know it’s The Mark of the Beast, maybe not by that label.
You WILL know it’s happening—everyone will know because everyone will be forced to participate, in order to buy or sell.
You can tell anybody what’s going on, and talk about it, because it’s obvious, everywhere, everybody’s involved.
But who can you ask what it’s really all about, and why ?
— There will be very few, if any, who understand, and who take the risk to talk.
— There will be a very, very few who refused to participate, and did not take The Mark of the Beast.
— There will be all those who did not take The Mark of the Beast, who will be killed.
— There will be some who own a Bible, and remember that the Bible talks about The Mark of the Beast—so you can read exactly all about it, written 2000 years ago, happening currently just like it says.
— “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
— Pray for Mercy !
— Pray NOW—before you’re forced to take The Mark of the Beast, and you will be ready to say “NO“, and face the consequences of death and the reward of heaven.

++ How do you know if you’re ready when time is up—when your time is up—or all time is over ?
You’ll know, ready or not !
Might not be able to tell anyone (sad, but true).
OR
Might be able to tell someone.
But who can you ask, now, for answers ?
You can ask me, Larry Michalk, writing this article.
There are two ways you’ll know if you’re ready when “It’s Time !”
XXXXX One way—Do nothing now to get ready for the time when time is up.
When it comes, you’ll know you’re not ready.
Too late for heaven.
To hell by default.
Sad, but true.
+++++ Second way—Get your name written in heaven now.
It’s called the Lamb’s Book of Life—if your name is there, you’re in—if your name is not there, you’re out.
It’s simple to get your name in The Book.
Tell God–
— You admit you’re a sinner.
— You accept Jesus’ payment for your sin.
— You surrender your life—past, present, future—completely to Him.
You’ll know—NOW !
You’ll know—THEN !
Hope to see you there—heaven.

There’s More—Good Stuff, Good News, in His Book, The Bible.
God has His Own Mark on His Own people.
Observing the feast of the Passover is, itself, as a sign upon the hand (the hands DO the preparation) and a memorial between the eyes (remembering what the Lord did for the Israelites when he brought them out of Egypt).
What God did for Israel, He will do for all His People—Christians.
“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart,
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children,
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes (decorative band or ornament).
