If You Look At This Picture, We Can All Honestly Say That Our Path Along The Road Of Life Has Never Been

If you look at this picture, we can all honestly say that our path along the road of life has never been perfectly straight. In fact the road is a bit wavy, and the question is WHY.

We have all had the experience of driving when something to the left or right side of the road catches our eye, and once we take our eyes off of looking forward, the car out drifts out of the lane and we start weaving.

This is a great analogy of what often happens in life. If we were to keep our eyes on God and follow His direction we would always stay in the centerline of the road, but as soon as we allow ourselves to get distracted by things that catch our attention that are outside of God’s truth, we start weaving and the road is made crooked.

Look...nobody is perfect and we all have and will make mistakes, but as today’s scripture admonishes us, keep your eyes on God and follow His precepts. When you do, you’ll never go in the wrong direction and will safely stay on your road through this life.

Let’s face it…if you wanted to become what people often ridicule these days as a 'Holy Roller,' then it would look completely embarrassing and stupid to your friends, family and peers to worship a 'make believe friend' like god. So if for some weird reason you were to change your mind and actually become a Christian, you would not want to do that because you would be embarrassed and ashamed, YES?

OK! I get that and that makes perfect sense. Christians appear to be a bit wacky in that they believe weird stuff like Noah’s ark, stories about a talking donkey, and Jesus raising himself from the dead. It’s perfectly logical to not want to associate with any of that, and if you did, you’d be ashamed to be associated with Jesus…but what does the Bible say about people like that?

In today’s scripture quote, Jesus very clearly says that if you are ashamed of Him, He will be ashamed of you as He stands before the throne of God and the whole host of holy angels in heaven. So even if you maybe/kinda casually agree that this Jesus/God/Bible stuff is probably true or mostly so, but you don’t have the time to get into it — or even more important — would be embarrassed and ashamed to admit it to everyone that knows you, judging by this quote you might be in a position someday that you may not want to be in.

Again, as today’s quote from the Gospel of Mark says, it is His WORD that people are ashamed of, and His Word says to turn to Him as the only way to save your soul out of this world and transport you into the next. Yes, this is a big step and from the standpoint of those around you will appear un-scientific, illogical and EMBARRASSING to associate yourself with what appears to many as a bunch of silly fables.

Friend, life is all about choices. Do you choose to follow Christ, regardless of the ridicule, or are you more comfortable going with the crowd? Either He IS who He says He is and promises what He says He promises, or he isn’t. No one can make that decision for you. So the question is:

“Have you decided to follow Jesus, or follow the crowd?”

There is nothing like a fresh, sunshiny bouquet of flowers and likewise, a newborn baby is fresh and vibrant too, but be they babies or bouquets as time goes on they both shall wither and die. Then the question is: WHAT’s NEXT?

Job framed this eloquently in today’s scripture verse in that while the middle of the three stages of life may also be a flowering field in the sunshine, it can also be “Full Of Trouble” as well — as anyone that has been alive can attest! However when the flower of our field through life ends and the only flower left are the ones on our grave, the question then is indeed “What’s Next?”

The GOOD NEWS (literally 'Gospel') is that Jesus has conquered death and the grave and HE ALONE has the keys that can eternally free you from “Death and Hell” (Revelation 1:18) but in order to be unlocked from these two things “You must be Born Again” (John 3:7) and the way you do that is by agreeing with God that Christ is your only hope.

Friend, for you, the “What’s Next?” does not have to be Eternal DEATH, but Eternal LIFE. But how do you get there? Simple.

Agree with God that you are a sinner and ask Him to Save you from death and the grave and He will, then commit yourself to make Him #1 in your life, and not yourself.

Remember! That middle square called 'LIFE' will one day end, and only YOU have the power to walk through an unlocked door to the goodness of God’s blessing of eternity waiting for you. Do You believe this? And if so, will you do that today?

Driving down the Interstate one day I saw this sign and was struck by the simplicity of it. It is a straightforward statement that requires a response.

Vote:

TRUE

FALSE

That’s it. 'Present' isn’t an option. The statement requires you to accept or reject - and your answer says a lot about who and where you are.

If it is TRUE, that means the Bible is what it says, there is a God, Jesus did die for your sins, and your eternal state depends on following what Christ said about salvation.

If it is FALSE then nothing matters, and you can continue to live your life anyway you please.

It may or may not be an election year, but every day is an election day.

How are you voting today?

God Bless Your Day Jesus Loves Youoar is 2022, and a good question that most people never realize is, “Two-Thousand and Twenty Years after WHAT?”

As the picture here shows, many older buildings indicate the year with the letters “A.D.” which is Latin for “ANNO DOMINI” or “The Year of our LORD.” While this was a common practice for centuries in writing and historical documentation, over the last fifty years this often has been slyly and subtly changed to the letters CE.

Why?

We are living in an age that the Bible says are 'The End Times' where the name of God will be blasphemed, mocked, and minimized. Instead of honoring God as the LORD over man, Christ’s coming to earth has merely been marked as the 'CE that is, the — Christ Event.' The definition of “event” is a 'happening, occurrence, incident, or an affair.' In doing so, it has reduced the coming of Christ like to a previous news story that was simply a marker in time - much like we refer to December 7th or September 11th.

Friend, Jesus Christ is THE LORD and He is the FIRST and the LAST of ALL TIME. He was not merely an 'event' but the creator and LORD of all that is — including you and me and all of creation. He is the “Chief Cornerstone.” (1 Peter 2:7)

Are you honoring Him today as LORD, or is this just “2022”?

Are you one of those people that 'don’t need RELIGION' and figure that being a GOOD PERSON is all that’s required to go to heaven? Most people are. Christianity after all is a scam, a racquet to take money from people and churches are full of hypocrites anyway. Plus it can’t possibly be the only way to heaven or the only religion, right?!? And besides, even though you may admit that you’re not perfect, at least you honestly believe “I’m a good person” so that either:

God is not THAT angry at me anyway to the extent that he would even send me to hell (or)

If God DOES send people to hell, then he’s one cruel taskmaster not worthy of honoring anyway

Well, here is the truth plain and simple. The Bible says that ALL of us are sinners, all have sinned, and all are deserving of not being in Heaven in His presence, but this is the GOOD NEWS (literally the translation of the word GOSPEL.)

God has provided a means for everyone to go to heaven, and here is the Gospel plan in 25 words or less:

Jesus covered YOUR sins on the cross

Believe That

Ask Him to Forgive Him of your sin

Honor Him as YOUR Saviour and LORD

That’s it!! But the challenge offered to you right now is.... Do you believe and accept that Jesus is “The WAY, The TRUTH, and LIFE” - that He alone is the only WAY to HEAVEN, the only TRUTH on How to get there, and the only way to eternal LIFE? If so, do not depend on your righteousness but his, and accept His invitation to heaven. He is patiently waiting for you. You cannot jump the gap to heaven on your own, no matter how 'good' you are.
