Welcome Jerry.
Jerry and I have met online and Jerry is a Christian. He tells me that things are similar in his country. Many people call themselves Christians but don’t act like Christians. He also tells me that many are believing in different parts of the world.
It’s always nice to have a new Christian friend.

“When I was about fifteen or sixteen years of age, I wanted a Savior, and I heard the gospel preached by a poor man, who said in the name of Jesus—’Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.; It was very plain English, and I understood it, and obeyed it and found rest.
I owe all my happiness since then to the same plain doctrine.
Now, suppose that I were to say, ‘I have read a great many books, and there are a great many people willing to hear me. I really could not preach such a commonplace gospel as I did at the first. I must put it in a sophisticated way, so that none but the elite can understand me.’
I should be—what should I be? I should be a fool, writ large.
I should be worse than that, I should be a traitor to my God; for if I was saved by a simple gospel, then I am bound to preach that same simple gospel till I die, so that others too may be saved by it.
When I cease to preach salvation by faith in Jesus put me into a lunatic asylum, for you may be sure that my mind is gone.”
-Charles Spurgeon

I remember Tony Robbins as a guy who used to have answers for people. To his credit, he doesn’t pretend to have answers to our nation’s problems and he does a good job in this video of putting them in perspective.
The answer to the title of this post is: “He won’t.” If the Hebrews were taken into captivity, what makes us think we can escape it?”
Jesus is our only hope. Will we turn back to Him? Most of the time I think the answer is no. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to go home. To live is Christ, to die is gain. We continue to run the race until we are called home. I think the race will be ending soon.
God’s blessings,
Chris

“At Carnegie Hall, gospel singer Wintley Phipps delivers perhaps the most powerful rendition of Amazing Grace ever recorded. He says, ‘A lot of people don’t realize that just about all Negro spirituals are written on the black notes of the piano. Probably the most famous on this slave scale was written by John Newton, who used to be the captain of a slave ship, and many believe he heard this melody that sounds very much like a West African sorrow chant.'”
I would like to thank Madge Franks for this very inspirational and instructive video.

All alone drifting wild/Like a ship that’s lost out on the ocean
Everyone’s a homeless child/And it’s not hard to understand
Why we need a Father’s hand
(C) There’s a rainbow somewhere/And you were born to be there
But you’re just running in circles
Till you reach out your hand to the King of Hearts…
Pockets full of pain and fear/That’s a load there’s just no need to carry
Let it go and leave it here/Now there’s no price that’s left to pay
With one more mile or one more day. (C)
You can try to catch the wind/But in the end you’re only wasting precious time
Life can really be so kind/Once you find the truth and follow, go on follow, follow (C)
Randy Stonehill, 1976

“Sola Sisters are two sisters who were saved out of New Age Spirituality, and who now have a deep love for the Word of God. Instead of standing on the shifting ground of whatever new teaching-fad-class-book-technique-discipline-etc. to come along, we now stand firmly upon the Rock of Christ.”
This is the description given by the authors of the “Sola Sisters” blog at

It is where I found this interesting video:

Chuck admits to quite a bit of speculation in this interview. Nevertheless, he covers a variety of subjects using scripture as his guide. I found the interview instructive and thought provoking.

I have been concerned for some time about the recent things I have seen and heard about Mr. Missler. To be balanced, I am sharing a link that shares one man’s reasons for some of these concerns.
Someone sent me a copy of a book by Chuck and Nancy Missler…

“But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
My belief grows stronger with each passing day that it is possible that I will be alive when these 2000 year old words come true. In either case, whether alive or dead at the fulfillment of the prophecy, the words bring great comfort. I hope they have the same impact on you.

MANY HITS ABOUT HUNGRY PEOPLE
June 8, 2012A little feedback from those who check this blog.
Even though I have backed off on blogging, I get the typical hits by people doing searches on particular items.
It is interesting to me that a post I put up about 2010 hunger numbers, continues to get many hits. There are many who are going hungry in our world today, many of them in America.
I just saw a news report last night that talked about American kids going hungry. If many American kids are going hungry, imagine what it must be like worldwide.
I will do a post on the subject soon. If any of you have information on recent hunger percentages, please leave them here.
God’s blessings…
