Attacks On God

I have to wonder how much time do we really have left before the Lord returns. I watch how far the unsaved are willing to go to get this nation to hate the name of God, and I wonder, when will the Lord say, thats enough?

Atheist (unsaved) are now taking out ads on buses that say theres no God, and of course it has to be at Christmas time.

I wonder why these atheist groups don’t attack Muhammad on Ramadan?  Probably because their gutless wonders, they know they couldn’t get away with their attacks on the Muslim God.

Christians are different, we don’t attack back when we’re attacked, we know that they will someday stand before the God of creation, of heaven and of hell and they will bow and proclaim that he is God.

I don’t get angry when I see these ads, and when they do everything in their puny power to stop Christianity, I feel sad for them.

The Bible tells us that when believers leave this world and we enter into heaven, there will be no more pain, suffering or death, we will live in the presence of God for eternity. We will be at peace and in the center of Gods love for eternity.

But for atheist and anyone who has not received Christ, it tells us in Luke 16 that they will suffer in the fires of hell for eternity separated from God.

But heres the horrible part, they will be able to see us living in and enjoying heaven, and yet they will not be able to come there.

Can you imagine being in hell, perhaps seeing a loved one who was a believer and seeing them in perfect peace and joy and knowing that you rejected salvation that they tried to tell you about?

Or perhaps a baby that they aborted sitting with Jesus and yet they can’t cross over to meet them, instead because they attacked God, they put up ads saying there is no God, they are now separated from God for eternity.

They might want to rethink this whole no God business that they’re in.

Why should Christians get angry?  The No God crowd has nothing in their eternity but suffering.

They need our pity and prayers, not anger.

Babies

When we were having children, all we had was the sonagrams that showed your baby, but this past weekend while all of our kids were home for Thanksgiving, our daughter-in-law brought us something to watch.

A DVD of their baby.

I got to admit, I never heard that they did this, it was incredible to say the least, there he was our grandson, Rufus!

We could watch him, kick, try to suck his thumb, stretch his arms over his head and turn over, I think I heard him say to his mom to quit picking on Grandpa so much!

After watching this, I thought how could anyone watch a baby in the womb, moving and ALIVE, and still go out and kill their baby?

To do so, you would have to truly be a child of Satan, with no conscience whatsoever. To see that baby alive and waiting to come into the world and then for that mom to go and destroy that child is nothing short of murder.

Watching this life on DVD reminded of what God said to King David, I knew you when you were still in the womb. God knew David in the womb because he was an alive person. He had a personality, character and a heaven to go to after he finished his time here on earth.

David was given a chance to live and he did many great things for God.

How many alive in the womb babies who could have done great things for God, but was stopped by a murderous hand?

I guess we’ll find out when we get to heaven and those who did the killing will stand before a God of judgment and there they will find out who their baby is as their children stand next to Jesus Christ.

Can you imagine that scene,  a woman who would have been a mom, standing in judgment before a holy God, and the child that she murdered is standing next to Jesus looking at her.

Its no wonder in the bible it says at the day of judgment there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth, as they realize their horrible fate.

I know some will say yeah but what about rape or incest?  Doesn’t that give that woman a license to kill that baby that was put in her by force.

NO  IT  DOES  NOT!!!

That child is still innocent, he or she didn’t commit a crime but is the result of a crime. We got this idea from immoral and evil people that you shouldn’t have to live with the consequences of a crime so the consequence shouldn’t live either, so they kill the baby.

That child regardless if you like it or not of how it got into a womb, is still innocent of any crime and has a right to live.

The person who committed the rape or incest should be charged with the crime, not the baby.

God knew everyone of us while we were in the womb, thankfully my parents wouldn’t harm what God knows.

Drifting Away

If you read the Old Testament you soon realize that the Israelite s were very stubborn, and it took allot for them to get the message, unlike us Americans who get it the first time and never have to learn anything the hard way!

Yeah right.

There were many times that God would say to do one thing, but they would go and do the opposite, like the time God sent 12 spies into the land so they could get their battle plan together and take the land.

But instead, 10 came back and said no way! Theres giants in the land and they can’t conquer it, CHANGE OF PLANS!

They weren’t suppose to change Gods plans, they were suppose to be obedient and do what God said,

But how many of us know exactly what God requires of us, but we say, I want to go in another direction?  We end up hurting our relationship with the Lord and become out of his will.

We don’t lose our salvation, but we do lose our fellowship with him, and the longer we stay out of fellowship, we start feeling like a stranger with the Lord.

It becomes difficult to pray,  you know how it is, you have an argument with someone, you stop talking, and the longer you don’t talk, the farther you drift apart, until you don’t talk at all.

Same thing with Jesus, the farther you drift apart, the harder it is to start talking again.

It become difficult to read your bible, that becomes hard to do, because if I’m not talking to him why would I want him to talk to me?

And so we put our bibles down and we know we should read it, but we drift farther away from the Lord, slowly and delibertly.

I know what I’m talking about, when we left our last church, I was so defeated as a pastor, that I started to drift from the Lord. praying and reading Gods Word became difficult.

Its easy to drift away and whats frustrating is, you feel guilty because you miss that fellowship with Christ.  Its like having a brother that you never see, because you drift apart.

I have a younger brother, that I can count on both hands of how many times we have seen each other over the past 35 years.   He was living a lifestyle that I don’t approve of, we were moving constantly across the United States and we just stopped talking.

I miss him at times and think about the things we did as kids, I was his protector from a few fights, I ran him over with my motorcycle, he got me in trouble with our parents, we ran away from home together, we hunted pheasants and rabbits, went camping out behind our uncles house, got scared and came home!

But we drifted apart, years apart, different lifestyles will do that.

Same thing with the Lord, if you want to live a different lifestyle than what the Lord lives, if you want to stop talking and listening to him, you will drift apart.

Guard your relationships with Christ and with family so you don’t drift away from each other, its been my prayer that my kids won’t drift apart but will always keep in touch with each other, its easy to do, they’re all separated in ages and living in different places.

My biggest prayer is that they won’t drift away from Christ, and that all Christians will protect their relationship with Jesus.

Be a Democrat or Suffer?

Last night was truly a historic time in America,  it was a night where Democrats truly identified who they are and by a vote of 60 people, they drew a line in the sand and said:

To be a democrat, you must support Obama

To be a democrat, you must support the slaughter of millions of babies

To be a democrat, you must support the killing of the elderly

To be a democrat, you must support throwing anyone who disagrees, into prison

To be a democrat, you must support homosexual marriage

To be a democrat, you must support the removal of all Christianity in America

To be a democrat, you must support bribing anyone to get what you want

To be a democrat, you must support socialism

To be a democrat, you must be willing to bankrupt America

To be a democrat, you must bow, to Obama, Pelosi, and Reed.

Joshua of the Old Testament, once asked his fellow countrymen, Choose this day, who you will serve?

The leaders of this country who are mere men,  or will you serve God?

The democrats have drawn a line in the sand, and they have posed a question to their fellow Americans, who will you serve?

Us or God?

Joshua answered that question by saying, For Me and My House, We Will Serve the Lord.

Will you remain or become a democrat to escape suffering, or will you be identified as a child of God?

The time is here, which side will you choose?
