Turmoil Is The Nature Of Todays Tempestuous World.

Turmoil is the nature of today’s tempestuous world.

Today everywhere we look we see financial collapse, fear of war and nuclear conflict, flash mobs, riots, increasing earthquakes and volcanoes, widespread corruption in government leadership and soaring inflation that has many on edge. Here’s the truth:

This is EXACTLY as the world is supposed to be at this time in history.

Yet today, just like the people in this picture casually playing golf while a fire rages nearby, many likewise are blissfully ignoring the ominous emerging signs that the Bible said would be hallmarks of the end times before the return of Christ and a period the Bible refers to as “THE GREAT TRIBULATION.”

Jesus said of this time:

“For then shall be GREAT TRIBULATION, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21

The signs are all around us and as Christ said these things will escalate even more. By contrast the much enthusiastically anticipated 'Great Reset' promises a world where all are equal regardless of race, gender or sexual presence, the planet is free from pollution and advanced technology promises flourishing wealth and freedom, but just as today’s verse has prophesied, while now 'they spring up (prosper) like grass' in the end those without God will perish.

Friend, safety from the calamities of the world are not found in gold & silver, brass & lead, bug-out bags, bunkers, or bureucrats but in Christ alone.

The reality is the Bible is TRUE, Christ is coming again, and for those that trust in Christ, the Bible promises: “God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9)

If you have not done so, put your trust in Christ TODAY.

Brilliant theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking once said “Before we understood science, it was natural to believe that 'a god' created the universe, but (now) science offers a more convincing explanation... because there is a LAW (emphasis mine) such as gravity, the universe can and will CREATE (emphasis mine) itself from nothing.”

In Hawking’s view, he essentially says all the raw energy-matter that just (somehow?) 'existed' at one point blew up, CREATED a law of gravity and CREATED all we see on earth and the heavens. He goes on saying “No one created the universe and no one directs our fate therefore there is probably no heaven and no afterlife...(it’s) just wishful thinking. There is no reliable evidence for it.”

Using that logic then if a tornado blew through IBM’s factory is it also reasonable to assume that the most powerful super-computer ever CREATED would just blow out the other side and self-order itself into existence(!?!) Today programmers developed the immense power of Artificial Intelligence, but even that 'Intelligent Design' (which is far inferior to what we see in the heavens) had a CREATOR.

If you want 'reliable evidence' simply look up at the HEAVENS of the very universe that Hawking once studied...and ponder the not so coincidental fact that we even grammatically refer to them as HEAVEN as a visible clue that confirms:

“The invisible things of him (God) from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE.” Romans 1:20

Just as a book must have an author and LAWS are written by people, they don’t just write themselves. Therefore using Hawking’s logic “there is probably” certainly an author and CREATOR of something as complex as the heavens — and that’s not just “wishful thinking” but a logical conclusion.

Friend if the most “convincing explanation” is that there is scientifically no god and no creator feel free, but given the principle of authorship, does “From Nothing” even seem reasonable?

If you are right, no harm no foul! Live your life as you please until you die and then cease to exist, but if not, once before GOD you will be found WITHOUT EXCUSE.

Are you willing to direct your ETERNAL FATE on that?

If we all had that proverbial crystal ball, it might be great to know what things are coming our way. If your town or city is like most, you may see a sign for a psychic reader and be tempted to drop in on and take advantage of that faded '$10 special ' sign hanging in the window. However, the Bible clearly warns us to stay away from these things for two important reasons.

First, people that practice those kinds of activities are engaging in WITCHCRAFT, and the information that comes through them is not coming from Holy God but from the Kingdom of Darkness. While what they say might indeed come to pass that does NOT mean it is from God, but from the source that is “…the father of lies (the devil.)” Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says that we are not to use divination and that if or when you do, these are abominations to God.

Second, as today’s verse says our time here on earth is to be conducted walking in FAITH not by sight. That is, instead of having a 'chart' or 'reading' that may even be surprisingly accurate, God instead wants us to listen to HIS VOICE and follow HIS WORDS each day.

Friend, please listen!

Astrology, palm & card readers and crystal balls might be intriguing or maybe even fun, but This Is A Very Dangerous, Serious Business. God knows your future, and He will lead you to that perfect place as you listen to His guidance. When you do, as Deuteronomy 18:13 concludes (then)…

-- Thou shalt be blameless before the LORD thy God --

We love our little dog Missy, however she’s never really been house trained and as many times that we let her out to water the yard, she seems to decide at random times to baptize the carpet or couch with a touch of yellow to our aggravation and frustration. Nevertheless after a little 'time out,' her mommy and daddy forgive her and she is once again back in our good graces .

Likewise when we disobey God, he too gets frustrated with us - but here’s the thing, His FORGIVENESS is always available to us because the Bible promises us that...

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to Cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ” 1 John 1:9Just as our little dog occasionally makes mistakes - so do we - but it still is no excuse to keep on doing wrong. So just as we forgive and love our little dog over and over again, even more so God will likewise always forgive us over and over again too...and He is even More Forgiving than us! Despite our mistakes and disobedience, He is always there to pick us up when we fall down and love and forgive us.

So if God can forgive US, and We can forgive our DOG, then We also need to practice the same repeated forgiveness and love towards OTHERS.

So next time somebody does a 'boo-boo' on your life...FORGIVE THEM!

As descendants of Adam we all carry the curse of sin on our lives. Because sin came into the world so did death, and after death a doorway will lead to one of two places. Either to a blessed, joyful, eternal life in heaven or complete separation from God forever and in hell.

What separates the two depends entirely on how your SIN is accounted for.

You see on our own, the sin debt accumulated in this life is too much for us to carry and at the end reckoning there is no way you can pay that amount due. The Bible says that “The wages (what we will get paid for) of SIN is DEATH” (Romans 6:23a) and this is everyone’s natural fate, but the good news is reading the end of that verse!:

“… but the GIFT of God is Eternal Life In Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:23b

You see God in His loving mercy made a provision for all under the curse of sin by paying in full our sin debt, and he paid it with something more precious than all the riches in the world. He paid it with his own blood.

Friend, which of these two eternal paths are you walking? The path of payment for sin, or receiving the free gift of removal of sin? Christ can and will do that for you. It is His free gift to all those that believe in Him and repent of their sins.

One day, this debt will come due.

Will you choose to have your sins converted to righteousness or receive the just payment for sin?
