NO MORE WAR! Neither shall they learn war anymore. —Micah 4:3             Can you even imagine that? War has and is raging in this world and will until the end of the age. But yes there is a time coming when war will no longer exist.   Oh happy and glorious day that will be.   Wars exist because of opposing powers wanting land, wanting domination, wanting material goods and resources, wanting…   Then to get it war starts…             But try to imagine the coming time where there will be no more conflict. No more, no more conflict, no more arguing…   A time coming that will only know…

LOOKING TO THE END THROUGH HOLY AND GODLY LIVING And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, 7 —Revelation 10:5-6             One day this will wrap up. One day the end of the age will here. One day the purpose for this present planet will be passing. One day… But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a…

MAN’S EVIL NATURE By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound. The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or…

THE END IN SIGHT! When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. —Revelation 8:1             Think of all the activity in heaven that we know of. Angels are rejoicing each time a person calls on Jesus to be saved (Luke 15:7). There is much praise and worship taking place.   Angels are going to and from as they travel between heaven and earth as they are “sent to serve those who will inherit salvation” (Hebrews 1:14). Believers who have died are entering into and sharing in their Lord’s happiness (Matthew 25:21) as they now know the place Jesus has been preparing…

PREPARE TO MEET GOD! “I gave you… lack of bread… yet you did not return to me. I also withheld the rain from you… yet you did not return to me.   “I struck you with blight and mildew,,, yet you did not return to me. I sent among you a pestilence… yet you did not return to me. I overthrew some of you… yet you did not return to me,” declares the Lord… Prepare to meet your God…” —Amos 4:6-12 They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks the truth. —Amos 5:10             Our Lord is patient and gracious, showing us mercy when…

OUR WORTHY LORD! “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” —Revelation 5:12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDtnAM6p2r8             Jesus was slain for us. He took the penalty and punishment for us. He then rose from the grave for us. He is ascended for us. He is preparing a place for us. One all those who love Him will be received into His presence… forever!             All power belongs to our Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God (John 1:29). No power exists that is greater than He. No power exists that even comes close to His power. All their powers…

CALL ON HIM!  And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. —Joel 2:32 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” —Romans 10:13-15              Now here is a simple fact—“And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” No amount of…

BE LOVING, BE JUST AND WAIT ON HIM So you, by the help of your God, return, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God. —Hosea 12:6             We are to hold fast to love (I Corinthians 13).   We are to hold fast to justice (Micah 6:8). We are to wait continually for God (Psalm 27:14).             Loving God, as we have mentioned before, “is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself”’ (Matthew 22:38-39). Hold fast to loving God. Hold fast to loving people. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved…

FIRST LOVE But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. —Revelation 2:4-5             Do you love the Lord God Almighty as you did at first? Have you drifted? Are you serving Him out of love like you used to? If not, then this passage of God’s Word says to repent and do what you used to do.             The consequence of not repenting and lovingly serving our Lord will end…

KNOWING HIM, LOVING HIM For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. —Hosea 6:6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9QP-cqwyAw             Our Lord desires our love, not sacrifice.   His desire above all else is for people to love Him. We are told by Jesus in Matthew 22:37-38 to “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” (Deuteronomy 6:5). “Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them…
