With the passage of making our military the worlds first gay military and with our government legitimizing this God condemned lifestyle, has energized these perverts.

Them and their supporters it says in Ro. 2:32 not only those who commit such acts but those who agree with it are condemned are pushing,  no SHOVING their ungodly beliefs and lifestyle down the throats of those who stand with God.

Its becoming so bad, that there have been those who publicly oppose them are being attacked and harassed.

Its amazing that these gay groups say they are peaceful and loving just like heterosexual couples, and yet if you disagree with them, their hatred is poured out and they’re more than willing to do whatever it takes to get their agenda accepted in all aspects of the American life, even at the expense of the livelihood of others.

It use to be in this country that if two disagreed, thats fine, you go your way and I’ll go mine, but thats not the way it is today.

Today if you don’t agree with me then I’ll attack, sue for my right to be accepted and change laws so that you are forced to recognize me as the same as you are.

The problem with this tactic is, it doesn’t make anyone accept it, it makes the antagonism grow deeper and broader. Personally if someone desires to be gay, so be it, but don’t think that I’ll ever accept it as normal, and its still my desire that they will accept Jesus and be delivered from this horrible sin.

Our government schools have been so busy indoctrinating our kids into the belief of diversity instead of unity that now everyone believes that whoever has the most power wins, and thats the problem, instead of equality and live and let live, its divide and conquer.

Our nation is going like a steam engine out of control and its just a matter of time before we hit a wall and burn, no morality, no conscience, no constraint, just sin, sin and sin some more.

But thats what sin does, once a nation goes into it and rejects God, its a bottomless pit and Satan will lead us all the way to the bottom.

Theres only one answer, its Christ and asking forgiveness for our sin, theres no other way.

As we continue our march toward the Lords return and the rapture of his church, we are starting to see things happen that the bible said would increase, such as hatred growing towards each other, families turning against each other, homosexuality growing worldwide, self absorption, unbelievable destruction caused by war and weather.

We are also seeing the increase of hatred against Israel and Christians even in our own country which the bible also said would happen.

You see leaders in our government who are beginning to accuse Christians of being militant and wanting to overthrow America like Sheila Jackson Lee who said that those Christians who oppose a womans “Constitutional right” for an abortion (legal murder) are worst than Islamic terrorist.

Got news for this evil woman, there is no constitutional right to abortion, and though there has been a few who called themselves Christians and have committed crimes against abortion clinics, how does that equate with thousands and thousands being murdered by followers of Islam?

But thats how Satan works, he finds those whom are in agreement with him,  he puts them in places of power and leadership, then they do his bidding of attacking God and his followers.

Just look at the ACLU  (the anti-Christian liberal union)  how Satan has used these people to continue his fight to remove every vestige of God in America, and they have been very successful

We as Christians are just beginning to see and understand the fight that is before us in our own country, the Israelite people who have traditionally been with the liberals in the Democratic party,  had better wake up and realize that they’ve been sleeping with the enemy who desire to rid this country of not only Christians, but Jews.

Will God return before before a full frontal attack on Christians and Jews begins in this nation?  I don’t know, but I do believe, we won’t believe what we will see if God waits.

But are you prepared?  Are you going to be able to be a person of faith, grace, mercy and peace?

Will you be able to to trust the Lord when your confronted with opposition from those whom you have elected into positions of power who are suppose to protect its citizens?

You will have to be confident in your relationship with Christ and prepare yourself for what is definately going to take place sometime in the future.

How do I know?  Just listen, the drum beats are beginning and its growing louder and faster.

Hold onto the Lord

I haven’t been on this blog very much lately,  we’ve been so busy,  I had a funeral this week, one of the ladies in our church passed away, she was a dear woman but she died in her home suddenly. However, she had made a confession in Christ and was saved. I know we’ll meet someday in heaven.

We’ve all been watching the things going on around the world and I’m sure you have to be concerned and even anxious about gas prices going out the roof.

I know I am, I drive truck and with the way things are going I’m waiting to see if I will have a job or not with-in the next few months.

Food prices are going crazy because fuel cost gets passed onto the customer and when our government started buying our debt all of this was shoved on our markets and economically our country cannot sustain this debt.

We watch the fighting and chaos in Libya and other nations, and I know they want to be rid of dictators, but I’m afraid that the Muslim brotherhood will get control and the hatred for Jews and Christians will escalate to a boiling point. This could well be the beginning of the worlds end, the rapture of Gods people could be just around the corner.

The devastation in Japan is heartbreaking, but as I watch these folks going through this tough time, I see that there is no looting or anger, just people calmly helping each other.

These people have more grace and courage than any rioter in Wisconsin could ever hope to have.

Its embarrassing to watch these greedy union people demand that they keep their same lifestyle and perks, while the nation struggles to pay for food and gas.

It has always been greed and the want of power that has brought down every nation, and the United states is no different. We elect men and women to represent us and once they get that position, all they care about is representing themselves.

The bible is very clear that just before he returns and closes the church age, that the entire world will be in chaos and we’re getting there quickly.

Theres no better time than right now to quit rejecting Christ, get on your face before God and repent of your sin and receive Christ as your Savior, the clock is ticking.

If the Lord returns today and you haven’t accepted the Lord, there will not be a second chance, its too late for you.

Jesus said that today is the day for your redemption, don’t miss out.

You probably have heard this week that we only have until May 21^st to be on this earth because thats when according to Herold Camping, a retired civil engineer when the rapture will take place

he also said millions will die on that day because of Gods judgment and then the entire world will end in Oct., he said he studied all the dates in scripture and this is when the earth is over

how do we know that the rapture is about to occur?

What are the signs that we are to look for?

& could this Mr Camping be correct?

Apparently theres a small group of followers who believe what he says is true & they are traveling across the country trying to warn people that we’re finished

get your house in order, we’re out of here!!

one of his followers a Miss Exley said, if she is still here on May 22^nd, then she wasn’t saved and she’ll have to perish with everyone else

I thought it was pretty sad, to know the world is going to end & not be sure if you’ll escape or not, apparently her salvation is based on some shakey theology

can we be sure we will be with the Lord if the world was to end?

The bible that I have, the one that God wrote said that our salvation can be sure, if we will receive Jesus Christ as our Savior

so are we about to be raptured? Mr Campings prognosis, seems to have flaws

Matt: 24: 36

although we will know that this day is drawing near, because every year that passes we are drawing close to that day, but, we don’t know the day or hour

someone trying to pinpoint the day of the rapture is nothing new, on Oct 22, 1844 a Mr Williams predicted when the rapture would happen

but when it didn’t happen, it became known as the day of disappointment

which started the 7^th day adventist movement

there have been others who have sold everything and sat on a mountain, after it didn’t happen, they sheepishly came down feeling rather foolish

2^nd no where in scripture does it say that millions will die when the rapture occurs, but rather that men will be blinded to the truth & will worship the false Christ

3^rd the earth cannot be completely destroyed in 5 months because the bible says that after the rapture, those who are left behind will endure 7 yrs of tribulation

so how do we know that we are drawing closer to the rapture?

Matt. 24:4

this warning that Jesus said himself is for everyone from then until the rapture does happen

there has been an enormous amount of deception since the time of Christ & has increased 100 fold with the invention of new technology

Peter also warned that false teachers were among us & would bring destruction & thats why its imperative that we all know what our bible teaches

you can turn your T.V. On to all of those religious stations & you can enjoy all the deception that your heart can handle

it is actually easy to be deceived because Satan makes his lies so tasty, easy to swallow, easy to believe because it makes sense

I’ll show you how easy it is to deceive you

Matt. 28:19-20

says here that we are to go to all nations teaching them to be Baptized in the trinity of God that he commanded and he’ll be with you always

thats how you get into heaven, by being baptized, so therefore we need to baptize you after your born to insure your place in heaven in case you die early

sounds good doesn’t it!

& it sounded so good that the Catholic & reform religions were born, deceiving millions

understand this: with one verse you can build a religion

but with the full context of scripture, you can build a relationship

Matt 24:5

As we get closer to the rapture, we will see an increase of those who claim to be Christ

in – 19^th century there were 4 who claimed to be Christ, John Thom, Arnold Palmer (not the golfer) Bahaullah, a shiite, & Bill Davies

in – 20^th century there was 23 known ones, people like George Roux, Earnest Norman, Jim Jones, & David Koresh

it is indeed increasing, just as scripture says it will

vs:6

this of course is not the sign that the rapture is about to happen, because there has been major wars throughout history

it says here that we will hear about wars & rumors of war but its not the end, we will never solve the problem of war

this is put here to remind us that there will not be peace until the prince of peace returns

so we are to watch out for deceivers & anti-Christ

vs:7-8

again these are characteristic of the age we live in, these things have been with us forever

in other words, Jesus is telling us, when we see these things happen, don’t go sell everything & sit on a mountain

but he is saying these things will intensify as we approach – rapture, they are – beginning of sorrows

so when do we really have to get ready for when the rapture will occur?

Somewhere between vs:8 & 9

the bible divides people up into 3 categories, the Jews, Gentiles & the church

today God is calling both Jew & Gentile to compose the church & it is this third group that will be raptured just before the tribulation

vs:9

it says here that we will be delivered up to be afflicted & killed, this is talking about the tribulation period

rev. 3:10

those who are saved will not go into the tribulation, we are kept from that hour

now I know what your thinking,

go back to Matt 24; 8-9

what signs are there then that we are to look for so we know the rapture is about to happen?

There are none, no one knows the day or the hour, not even the angels, so some man named Harold camping doesn’t either

the rapture can occur in one minute or in a thousand yrs

so who is he speaking to n vs;9?

Remember I said the bible divides us up into 3 categories Jews, Gentiles & the church

• church is gone, we’re in heaven, leaving 2 groups, God is going to bring judgment on the unbelieving Gentiles& he is going to turn his attention once again to his people the Jews

we have seen anti-semitism on the rise, but it will be poured out on them during the tribulation as never before

& they will do everything including going against each other in an attempt to survive

there are many things that will take place during – tribulation that we can apply to our day

vs; 10-12

people get offended today about everything, its alright to abort your baby according to this worlds thinking

but don’t you dare feed your child sweets or happy meals, thats offensive

don’t put up a nativity scene, or a tree or the ten commandments in a public area its offensive

& remember to only lie to each other, because the truth offends, I learned that from politicians

we see iniquity going through the roof, its as if man is inventing new sin, they’ve tired of all the old ones

we see love growing cold, love is just for the moment, men & women jump from bed to bed trying to find love, but its not there, its grown cold

so there are many principles that will be indicative of the tribulation period, but is already in play for today

during the 7 yr tribulation according to Revelation, man will be almost completely wiped out, except for Israel

matt. 24: 22

• elect here is Israel, because the other elect who is the church is gone & God doesn’t allow this period to go past 7 yrs otherwise no one would survive

so the bible is clear that we won’t know when the rapture will happen, but he does however give us a hint of what the characteristic of that generation will be

Matt 24: 37-39

if we were to go back to Genesis, we would see that the days of Noah were characterized by a generation of gross immorality

every thought & imagination was evil continually

• Lord said his coming back will be during a time like this

he said they were eating & drinking & giving in marriage, nothing wrong with that, right?

Except they were not doing these things for the glory of God, they were living as though God didn’t exist

According to some scholars, these marriages were homosexual, because in Gen. 9 Ham saw the nakedness of his father

this angered God, he had destroyed the earth because of this sin & other evils that they had committed & he was not going to allow it to begin again

Ham must have been influenced by the evil that men had committed before the flood & God brought down harsh judgment on Ham

but, are we seeing men whose thoughts & imaginations are continually evil?

Are we seeing man acting as though God doesn’t exist & even pass laws that reflect that?

Are we seeing homosexuality becoming a worldwide accepted practice?

43-45

Lord is saying since we don’t know when the rapture will occur, BE READY

46-51

this is a great principle here, you & I ought to be living our lives in the light of the fact that our Lord is returning & we will stand in his presence

it doesn’t matter if he comes in 1 day or in a hundred yrs. How should you be living your life right now?

What will Jesus find, if he was to show up today?

Someone who would shout for joy at his appearing

or someone who would scream in embarrassment?

We need to live as though Jesus is walking toward us right now

At church, we began a new sermon series on the book of Isaiah who gave him a vision of what happens to a country that rebells against him.

A vision is something given by God of events that will take place in the future of both good and evil and in the vision of Isaiah God tells the reason why these things were going to happen to the nation of Judah.

Today we no longer have visions or prophecies of future events because we were given his Word (bible) that tells us what is going to happen in the future.

Theres many today who claim they have visions or can give prophecies, may I say as kindly as I can, their liars.

Thats about as kindly as I can say it,  these modern day prophets or visionaries reject what scripture says,  those things were only given to Old Testament saints and to the Apostles. After the bible was completed, so were visions and prophecies, as well as tongues which ended also.

Isaiah is told that when a nation rejects God one of the first things that will happen is evil men will over run their nation Ch. 1

Morality in our country seems to be almost non-existent, our government is just as immoral and corrupt as any communist country ever was.  They lie and lie to the American people, I’ve come to the point that if a politician opens their mouth, their lying.

We have the killing of babies and the elderly,  drive by shootings and every evil thing one can think of, but God said in Isaiah that when a nation rebels against God, this is the outcome.

Secondly Isaiah says your nation will be taken over by foreigners,  our borders are a war zone, literally, theres even a sheriff down in Arizona that says we might have to abandon certain cities that are being taken over by drug warlords while our pathedic excuse of a president does nothing, but invite more illegals here.

But again, God says these things will happen to a nation that rebels against him.

We have Muslims building mosques everywhere,  may I say, that every nation where Muslims began to build, they eventually invaded,  then slaughtered the people who weren’t Muslim.

The twin towers was a warning shot, the Mosque that they want to build is a monument to their defeating America, the Dems who want it built are either Muslim themselves or sympathizers, or they know this will help in destroying America.

We have to remember the bible says there will be a one world religion,  which I believe will be Muslim,  and that it will be headed by a world ruler, who is Satan.

If you look at scripture, its all coming together to the end of the church age,  people need to come to Jesus Christ and get saved before its too late.

We think this country has lost its mind, and the truth is, it has,  their following Satan who is getting ready to take his place as this worlds ruler, if only for a short time.

Even Irans president  IWANTA JIHAD has said that their waiting for their great prophet who will destroy anyone who is not a Muslim

America needs to return to God,  don’t delay,  theres not much time left,  with every Mosque being built, means we’re that much closer to Armageddon.
