Be Ready! : Matthew 23-25

Matthew 23-25
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what
watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have
suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the
Son of man cometh.


What an admonition and reminder, to the church, the called out ones. In
this same passage Jesus makes it clear, that in the time before this age
comes to an end, that it will be difficult for even the solid believers.
For their sake the days will be shortened, so they can make it from day
to day. If the very elect, those on solid foundation and rooted in the
word, producing fruit fit for the kingdom; if for them they will
scarcely make it in, it causes us all to make sure where we stand. There
is no room for "mights" and "maybes". The bible cautions believers and
non believers alike to save ourselves from this generation. God's word
warns us that if this salvation is even neglected, how shall we escape
from the judgement? It didn't say if we do not accept salvation, but if
we neglect it. So after we believe, after baptism of water and the Holy
Ghost, the Holy Spirit of God, we must be careful to not become lazy and
careless with the gift of grace and salvation, extended to all nations,
through the precious blood of Jesus.
If you are unsure, today is the day of salvation! As Paul admonished the
saints, make your calling and election sure. Click on the link " The

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials,

Earnestly contend for the Faith: Jude

Today's passage is Revelation 18-22, but here I am one book behind in Jude. I just wanted to spend some time in this one chaptered book. I love that the Word of God is LIVELY and ACTIVE, and, though never changing, it is always revealing. I got stuck on Jude verse 3. The words EARNESTLY and CONTEND, made me think, wow, we have to put up a fight for this thing. I read, and scribbled in my notebook as I went through. Here is what I wrote:

child logic: waitress vs. God

That sounds like something my 6 year old would say! Malachi 3:10-12 (King James Version) 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
