MY MISTAKE!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (44 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 2 planes and a robin! Thank You, Jesus, for the gift of sight!

Many of you who have followed my blog over the years know that I have often written about “earthquakes,” mainly because Jesus said, in Matthew 24:7, and Mark 13:8, that one of the “signs” leading up to His return would be “earthquakes in various places.” I must confess, in case you hadn’t noticed, when I quote this verse, I often leave out part of it, as Jesus really said: “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.”

Certainly there are famines all around the world. And, even though we may have an occasional food shortage in America, for the most part, we usually not only have something to eat, but also plenty of it. And yet, Scripture speaks of a different kind of famine which many of us, even as Christians, often take for granted. Hear what the prophet Amos had to say in Amos 8:11, “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God, when I will send a famine on the land, not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, but rather for hearing the words of the Lord.”

All I can says is “how sad!” And yet, both Jesus, in Matthew 24:10, and Paul, in II Thessalonians 2:3, prophesied this would happen. And, in case you didn’t know, right now, many “Christians” are leaving their churches, falling away from the true faith in Christ and opening the door, whether they realize it or not, for the Antichrist and his rule which will lead them straight to hell.

Let me ask you: “Are you one of them?” If you are, please know you still have time to repent, that is, to agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Then, “fix your eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2) and keep them there while watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Blessings with love in Christ, Doug (5/6/24)
