There is little more obvious … these days than that there is an abandonment and general antagonism towards Christian, Biblical morality. The hostile spirit against that—against God is legion. I dare say there is little more obvious than this truth.
There is a good and holy reason The Lord made hell …. Aand Heaven.
There is reason God made hell.
This phrase, this thought… has been recurring to me oft over this last while….
Justice… Ultimate Justice … is a thing.
You crave it, we desire it… and thank God He designed it to be such, and The One Who is perfect, makes, and made it so.
I’ve seen hell. Jesus went there. I truly wouldn’t wish it on anyone (the evil ones do!).
Nevertheless, it is real, just and foremost Heaven is real.
This “mortal” life is short, albeit deep….
Hold fast to that which is True…!
‘Cuz… it is what it is, and you ain’t got no say against The Sovereign!Praise God, right?!
God blesses you and me… meek little fellow creature, i do as well pray for you , fwiw!
Praise God! He includes us in His glory!
🙏🏻❤️
This world…as we experence it… is truly binary.
Death.
You live for a bit…then you die.
Well…… DO YOU REALLY DIE?
The body does, obviously….
But, your soul, YOU, carries on…
But to Where?
When you see the evil … and the good…
Then you know why God made Heaven and Hell….
After the body folds, where do YOU want to be?
Things are going to get rough…for the body, coming up…
But the soul transcends either way….
Which Way are you going?
"We have the right to rid our houses of ants; but what we have no right to do is to forget to honor the ant as God made it, out in the place where God made the ant to be. When we meet the ant on the sidewalk, we step over him. He is a creature, like ourselves; not made in the image of God, it is true, but equal with man as far as creation is concerned. The ant and the man are both creatures." --Francis Schaeffer
I have a hard time pulling weeds! I definitely save, relocate any insect I can along the way--never thoughtlessly destroy, kill. . . .
And with humans, every day especially now . . . where there is so much pain and suffering . . . it is blessed and a blessing, to love and appreciate the other. . . .
When, in old Rome, disease was spreading . . . it startled the Romans . . . to see the Christians going out of their way, sacrificing their own comfort, to comfort the sick, the poor, the destitute, the lowly . . . such that . . . many, many, many were converted by the sight of it! It was a new thing--this unusual, Godly love. . . . It really hadn't been seen before in history from a people--a community. . . .
This time is short. When you get to the pearly gates, the question won't be: "So, did you ignore the suffering? Did you 'kick butt' and make a name for yourself? Did you angle? Step on ants, kill, destroy willy-nilly? Yes? Good! You're in!"
Nope.
You can't go wrong being self-sacrificial, longsuffering, patient, persevering, understanding, compassionate, harmless, loving and good in heart. . . . Just like Jesus
Just got back from the desert. Literal desert, not the spiritual one.
Word I got there … is … things will happen fast.
Today is the day of salvation.
As in … don’t put God off. Be ready SPIRITUALLY for any sudden contingency. Be ready as you can, to meet your Maker.
As expected, and now coming ‘round the bend … quick devolving will accrue. Rapid waters…. As always, but especially for now, for us here now … prepare your soul.
And for those who love God … take heart.
Get to the place where … the phrase “take heart” [because you Believe and Know] actually gives you real, visceral Spiritual solace.
