The funny thing is that it's not my sin. I just happen to be paying for it. Sounds familiar to you who know the gospel.
If you don't know Jesus please, for your sake, realize that tonight your very life may be required of you.
Walking into an apartment to find a knife on the pillow of the bed may seem like a deliberate message to you but to me it sounds like satan is using fear to distract us from ministering to people.
It's almost like confirmation that we are doing something right. It's been said
"He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose" — Jim Elliot, missionary martyr who lost his life in the late 1950's trying to reach the Auca Indians
I think this often and I'm going to say it so that I am accountable. I have no fear of losing the remainder of my 70-33 years but I sure question if I'd be so bold when it comes (Lord willing) to my future wife and family.
If I had the same situation (knife on pillow) would I react the same. God isn't going to change His promise of salvation. God will remain faithful to protect His saints. I'd just have an overwhelming desire to "help God" protect my future family.
I need a plan for that. A plan based on God's Word to us. I don't want to waver in the time of crises but to stand firm in His Word which promises Salvation which cannot be taken away.
It's a breath full, I know.
Contrast that with the young woman and 9 month old girl I met on the bus this morning who only goes to synagogue because she thinks it's fun. She doesn't believe in all that heaven hell stuff. She is just thankful for her baby and enjoying the time now.
Heaven and Hell are a joke to her. Hell is an awesome party and Heaven is a boring place where people sit around all day.
The truth is hell is really hot and forever is a long time and I don't want anyone to go there. Including the thief who is threatening with a knife.
Please pray God works in their lives before it's too late.
Just heard and felt a jet break the sound barrier. Is it weird that seems normal?
In His Grace,
Jonathan
