FEARING THE END OF THE WORLD, I THINK NOT

There is no reason for you to fear the "end of the world" if you are a born-again child of God. You have the promise of living eternally with God on this earth after it has been redeemed and perfected. But if you have never accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have every reason to fear the future. The signs of the times given in the Bible indicate beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is about to return to take His believers out of this world in preparation for the pouring out of God's wrath during a period of seven years that the Bible refers to as the Tribulation. It will be a time of unparalleled horror on this earth, so terrible, in fact, that one-half of humanity will die during the first three and a half years! God does not wish that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9). That's why He has provided us with signs to watch for that will indicate the season of His Son's return. We are in the midst of that season. We are living on borrowed time. Don't delay. Give your heart to Jesus today (John 3:16 and Romans 10:9-11). I would like to hear from you if you have made a decision to follow Christ by accepting Him as your Savior. What can I do to assist you in learning more. Give me a comment or email me with your request. Pastor Bob

When that time comes, your own people will be spared--all those whose names are found written in the Book" (Daniel 12:1, New Jerusalem Bible)."

LOVE IS FOR LOSERS, (or is it?)

I have learned that you can learn a lot about a person by some of the T-Shirts they wear. Some are just downright nasty which says much about their attitude, and some are very obscene which speaks to the condition of their spirits. Then there are others who are literally trying to make a statement. Some legitimate, others because of a wound or hurt in their life. Still others want you to know how they feel about life. I saw a person wearing one the other day that said, "Love Is For Losers". Maybe that person thought it was clever or provocative or maybe even funny. But one look at the face and you could feel the hurt from that person and it seemed like they were trying to tell you that they had been jilted or left alone after a relationship went sour. Rather than risk being hurt again, they donned a T-Shirt with their message that screamed , "Leave Me Alone."Is love for losers? The fact is, when we love, we take risks. People could very well hurt us, disappoint us, or even leave us. Love can lead to loss. The Bible, though, challenges us to higher ground in loving others. In the infamous love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13: Paul describes what it means to live out God's kind of love. The person who exercises God's kind of love does not do it for personal benefit or gain but rather... "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:7;. Why? Because godly love endures beyond life's hurts by pulling us relentlessly toward the never diminishing care of the Father. So, perhaps love is for losers, because it is in times of loss and disappointment that we need God the most. Even in our struggles, we know that "love never fails." Won't you accept His unfailing love today.   Blessings. Pastor Bob
