Keep The Faith

I woke up early this morning and I remembered that I was dreaming about LOVE. I was specifically dreaming about the medic, Desmond Doss, who is credited with saving more than 70 solders lives, even enemy soldiers', during one of the bloodiest battles of World War II in the Pacific. He did it without carrying any kind of protection for himself. He refused to carry a weapon or take a person's life. When he enlisted into the Army, he told them this and was almost rejected for service. They thought that he wouldn't make a good solder, but they took him anyway. He went through literal hell from his commanders and fellow soldiers, but he never quit/gave up. Click the link and go down to the 'Synopsis' of the movie. The movie, ' Hacksaw Ridge ', based on true events. It is well worth seeing if you haven't already. (maybe without children). His whole character was amazing, hard to believe, and is one example of LOVE (AGAPE LOVE). The kind of LOVE that Father God...

I saw this article in ' The Washington Post ' " More than 11,000 scientists from around the world declare a 'Climate Emergancy '" I believe that this is God giving us one more chance for peace; maybe just this last time. If all the countries of the world declared peace with each other and work together to try and solve this emergency then maybe God will forgive us and not destroy us. Revelation 7 New King James Version (NKJV) The Sealed of Israel 7  After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2  Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3  saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” ...

How do we, you and I know that God really exists? It can only happen when we personally witness something extradentary, something that is imposable to explain away, a miracle. It is kind of like 'doubting Thomas' in the Bible. When Jesus came back from the dead after being in the grave three days, Thomas couldn't/wouldn't believe that Jesus was alive until he personally saw him and was able to touch His wounds ( John 20:24-31 ). There are people today who have personally witnessed a miracle. They can tell you without a doubt that there is a God. There are a number of examples in the Bible where a whole group of people all witnessed a miracle, something that could not be explained away, it was evident to them that God exists and that He does as He pleases.  ( Exodus chapter 14 ) When the Israelites were released from bondage out of Egypt (A miracle in itself), God led them to the edge of the Red sea. There was no direction that they could escape from the approa...

I have heard from a number of Christians that god chose Trump. They support and defend Trump no mater what his character proves to be because "god chose him." I've wondered a lot about this. How do they know God, the creator of all things, the God of gods, the God of love, chose him? Did maybe the god of this world ( Satan) choose him instead? Have Christians forgotten their first love? Jesus said that if you love Him then obey His commandments, love God (the One True God who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, not the god of this world) and love your neighbor; do to him what you wished he would do to you. Joel 2:13 Lexham English Bible (LEB) 13       Rend your hearts [ a ] and not your garments, and return to Yahweh your God,      because he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger [ b ] and great in loyal love,      and relenting from harm. ------------------------------...

I woke up early again this morning thinking about something. I was thinking about how we think, how we rationalize things. That process is kind of like our brain having eyes. A thought has direction just like what we see has direction. The direction is always from outside to inside. I was thinking what would my mind see if I could put a mirror up in that process? Isn't the day we call Judgment Day like that? God puts a mirror up in our thought processes. The eyes of our minds are now seeing inside, from God's perspective.

I've been studying about this day in the future known as "the great day of the Lord". This is what I've discovered: All peoples, everyone, will know Who it is coming  (the Lord Jesus Christ). Everyone will mourn. All tears will be wiped away. Matthew 24:30 King James Version (KJV) 30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Revelation 1:7 Common English Bible (CEB) 7  Look, he is coming with the clouds! Every eye will see him, including those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. This is so. Amen. Why is everyone morning? I believe it is because it is at this moment that everyone sees or comes to know that person Jesus died for; the true self. Isaiah 45:21-25 Common English Bible (CEB) 21  Announce! Approach! Confer together!   ...
