OH YES, THE END OF THIS WORLD/AGE WILL TAKE PLACE— BE READY! But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. —Mark 13:14 For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be. —Mark 13:19  But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And…

THOSE WHO LOVE JESUS WILL FACE OPPOSITION! And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. —Mark 13:13 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. —Matthew 10:22             One of the “signs” of being in the end times is that those following Jesus “will be hated by all” because of His Name.  The world system does not like Jesus and don’t think that is going to change.  The conflict between the Kingdom of God/Light and kingdom of Satan/darkness has existed ever since Eve…

WE WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT TO THE LORD JESUS! —II Corinthians 5:10 Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’  You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth. —Deuteronomy 8:17-18 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. —Deuteronomy 10:17-18 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing…

TO OBEDIENTLY LOVE GOD IS TO LOVE HIS CHILDREN! Oh that they had such a mind as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their descendants forever!…  You shall be careful therefore to do as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. You shall walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess. —Deuteronomy 5:29, 32-33 You…

DO NOT ADD OR TAKE AWAY FROM GOD’S WORD! You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you. —Deuteronomy 4:2 See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it. —Deuteronomy 12:32 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar. —Proverbs 30:6 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And…

TRUST HIM! Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.” —Deuteronomy 1:29-31 “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” —Matthew 28:20 “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”  So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.  What can…

CALLED TO BE SERVANTS! When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” —Mark 10:41-45             Jesus is not only the Creator of all, the Lord of all and…

HARD HEARTS! “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’” —Mark 10:5-6 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. —Romans 1:21 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? —Jeremiah 17:9             The heart, the inner man, the mind, the flesh… it seeks to go contrary to the ways of God and seeks to follow the ways of this world.  The heart… guided not by…

KEEP YOUR WORD! If a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. —Numbers 30:2 It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it. —Ecclesiastes 5:5             How good is your word?  When you say you are going to do something, do you?  Whether it is to our Lord or to another person or people that we promise we are going to do something, do we carry it out?  If we are not going to do…

LISTEN—- PRAY! And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” —Mark 9:7 And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.  And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”  And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’!  All things are possible for one who believes.  ”Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”  And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running…
