WHEN WILL THE OTHER SHOE DROP?

WHEN WILL THE OTHER SHOE DROP?

By Jimmie Warren

Hello Beloved brothers, sisters, saints

I am coming to you again with disturbing news ,in some ways horrible news but, in the saints views, this is good news.

A few of you know I hate to spread news about end time events but, our Lord say’s to watch for as these events come so the end is near. This is not the end of the world but the beginning of the new world with God living here with us forever Amen!

Here is how the events of the present age are leading right up to the return of Jesus Christ.

God says to pray that you are accounted worthy to escape all these things. (Luke 21:36)

We had better get ready because we are all running out of time. I have written an article, "ARE WE OUT OF TIME," and in it I explain more about this end time events. Some of you may not have read this interesting article on our web site at WWW.simplesalvation.org. If not, then please take the time to read it. I think you will find it most helpful in your hunt for end-time issues .

In today’s news we hear about Iran’s Leader saying things like " The Holocaust didn’t happen and Israel must be wiped off the face of this planet. We have more nations with the H-Bomb now more than we did in the 60's when we came so close to setting them off it was by God’s grace we didn’t..Some people ask oh this is old news there has been doom’s day preaches forever and they are right but when the nation of Israel was formed in 1947 prophecies couldn’t be fulfill–

now they can be! Our own government is saying it’s not if another attack happens but when it will happen.

Now the reason I am writing about this is that the Lord himself said to watch for these times as a sign that His return is near. Again people say so what if it happens it happens and it is over, WELL yes and No. Like the story of the Ten Virgins with their oil lamps 5 kept them filled and 5 did not and when the master returned 5 where ready to go they other’s had to stay behind.

ARE YOU READY IF THE LORD COMES TODAY?

You see it doesn’t really matter if your ready spiritually but if your playing church and only attending a church to look good or because it is the thing to do today then your not ready, are you?

Jesus told his disciples to watch so they would know when the time of the end was near today we are still watching and waiting on the Lord until he returns in all His glory, but we need to be ready, ARE YOU READY?

WE ARE TO PRAY DAILY TO BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THE THINGS COMING ON THIS WORLD AND OUR COUNTRY!

We can’t be ready if our oil runs out by this I mean if we are not praying everyday and talking to our Father God and keeping in contact with his Holy Spirit then we will be caught off guard and may have to go through those terrible 3 ½ years of tribulation that is coming and I believe is coming soon.

Now I know some of you have heard this many, many times before but that doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen someday and as long as your alive you need to be ready to meet the Lord. If you die tomorrow then it is the day of the Lord to you-THINK ABOUT THAT!

Read (Luke 12:54-56). Jesus was talking of His coming at that time. But, I believe He is warning us of this time and age, right now! Some ministers preach and believe that Matthew chapter 24 was only talking about the 70 AD destruction of the temple. However, how do they explain verses 27-31? Jesus did not return in 70 AD, did he? . We have no record of the sun turning dark or the moon turning blood red as the signs of His coming is told to us in the end time. If even one of these events would have happened, the astronomy of that time would have recorded the event. So we are to assume that this is talking about another time, our time.

This means that a new temple must be standing in the end time. Well sisters and brothers of the faith, I have good news for you. A new temple is being readied right now in Israel. Right now they are getting ready to put it together on the Holy site.

Be on guard, get ready. Read (Luke 12:47-48).

Are you the servant in verse 47,the servant who knows what his master wants him to do, but does not get himself ready to do what his master wants. He will be punished with a heavy whipping.

I just want to show you a few things going on and you figure out if we are near the time of the ends or not,.the appearance of a red heifer and the possibility of rebuilding the

Sanhedrin-Reborn.pdf

from Pastor Irvin Baxter’s End Time Ministries

The recent ceremony to reestablish the Sanhedrin was held in the city of

Tiberias because that was the location of its disbanding about 1600 years

ago. Once the formal reinstitution of the council was completed, it immediately moved to its permanent home in Jerusalem.

One of the leaders of the rebirth of the Sanhedrin is Rabbi Yeshai

Ba’avad of Beit El (Bethel). He said that the 71 rabbis on the new council

received the special ordination, in accordance with Maimonides’ rulings,

over the past several months. Rabbi Ba’avad explained that the goal

is to have one rabbinic body in Jerusalem that will convene monthly

and issue rulings on central issues.

WALL THIRDTEMPLE REVIVAL by Irvin Baxter http://www.endtime.com/pdf/archives/ETM-2003-11-Nehemiahs-Wall.pdf

another article on the temple being built and it’s importance today:

The THIRD TEMPLE Entrance

In Alignment With The East Gate

According to the Scriptures and verified by archaeology and the historical works of men. There are three principal conjectures as to the original, and hence the FUTURE Temple location.

1. Northern Location aligned with the East Gate (North of the Dome of the Rock) placing the Holy of Holies over the Dome of the Tablets/Spirits

--as supported by Dr. Asher Kaufman and The House of Yahweh.

2. Central or Traditional Location (Dome of the Rock) placing the Holy of Holies over the As-Sakhrah

--as supported by Traditional Judaism, Dr. Leen Ritmeyer, etc.

3. Southern Location (South of the Dome of the Rock) placing the Holy of Holies over the Al Kas fountain

--as supported by Dr. Bagatti, Tuvia Sugiv, etc.

The original Temple location has been hidden and protected for nearly 1900 years --UNTIL NOW! The Third Temple with its inner court will be built soon on the "greatly exalted mountain" in Yerusalem [Yechetzqyah (Ezekiel) 40:2; Tehillim (Psalm) 48:1-2; 24:3; 2:6] in the same location as the previous two Temples. According the following prophecy, the Dome of the Rock and other structures will be left standing (on the south [Yechetzqyah (Ezekiel) 40:2]) unharmed before, during, and after this great rebuilding project --a Peaceful Solution!

Here are some of the News events going on today " remember there wasn’t a nation of Israel until 1947" for these events to matter but, today they are:

Read (Revelation 11:1-2). This is talking about the end time temple; it will be a fact one day soon! ARE YOU READY for what is about to happen? Well are you? ( Matthew 24:44-51 )

You see, all the other times that people talked about the end coming, the Jews had not come back home yet. There was no land of Israel until a 1947.The nation of Israel was born, and now they are planning to rebuild their holy temple and sacrifice to their God to ask for His protection on their nation. They are looking for their Messiah to save them and for Him to return to His people. Well, He is on His way back and they will know Him when they see the nail prints in His hands and feet.

As soon as the Jews build their temple, then we are in the count down to ARMAGEDDON, the end time war just before the Jew's Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ, returns. Hallelujah! If you know it or not, we are running out of time. Just look around you; you can see it if you will open your eyes. Read (Matthew 24:14), then read Daniel chapter 11 then Revelation chapter 11.

Also read Matthew 24:14 with Luke 21:7-19.

Happening in our news today:

Our military, Washington and Gulf sources report that US Vice President Dick Cheney is again talking about possible US military action to shut down Iran’s covert nuclear program.

Cheney stopped over in Oman Wednesday, Wed. March 19, after two days in Iraq. He will travel next to Saudi Arabia, is due in Jerusalem next Saturday and will also visit Ramallah and Turkey.

Our sources report exclusively that his talks are focusing on two aspects of the Iranian nuclear threat:

1. The Bush administration’s decision to distance itself from the National Intelligence Estimate released last December. Its conclusion that Iran’s nuclear arms program was shelved in 2003, which rendered America’s military option superfluous, is now deemed a mistake.

2. The administration now buys British, German, French and Israeli intelligence estimates that Iran is indeed pressing forward with programs for building nuclear weapons, warheads and ballistic missiles for their delivery.

The vice president will listen closely to his hosts’ ideas about joint efforts for containing Iran’s aggressive expansionist thrusts across the Persian Gulf and Middle East and halting its progress towards nuclear armaments.

The vice president’s choice of capitals for his tour is a pointer to the fact that the military option, off since December, may be on again. American will need the cooperation of all four - Oman, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Turkey - to mount a military attack on Iran. See rest of article at www.endtime.com

Print Article E-mail Article TEL AVIV -- Israel has followed the parliamentary

election in Iran Friday with great interest and concern. The expected victory of

the hardliners in the 290-member parliament has practically assured Mahmoud

Ahmadinejad's re-election for a second term in June 2009.

The regional and international implications of Iran's ambitions are at the

centre of visits to Israel this week by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S.

Vice-President Dick Cheney.

Iran's nuclear ambitions also played an important part in President Shimon

Peres' official visit to Paris last week for extensive discussions with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Merkel: Ahmadinejad's Nuclear Ambitions "a Major Threat" To The World

RTTNews

Speaking in the Israel Parliament, German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's nuclear ambitions pose "a major threat"

not only to Israel, but to the world as well.

Merkel, who became the first German Chancellor to address Israel's parliament,

the Knesset on Tuesday, utilized the opportunity to focus the attention of the

world towards Tehran's defiant nuclear program.

"It is not the world that has to prove that Iran is building a bomb, rather,

Iran has to prove to the world that it does not want the nuclear bomb," Merkel

told a special session of the Knesset in Jerusalem.

The German Chancellor also denounced Ahmedinejad's challenge to Israel's right

to exist as a sovereign nation. She also made it clear that Germany would

support further sanctions on Iran if it fails to provide clear evidence

supporting Ahmadinejad's assertion that his country's nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes only.

In a new audio message released on the internet, Osama bin Laden has warned

Europe that it faces a severe response for publishing images of the Prophet

Mohammed. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in Israel on Thursday,

after reportedly saying in Damascus that a touted peace conference in Moscow

would deal with the Golan Heights - only to be told by Prime Minister Ehud

Olmert that he is not even convinced of the utility of such a get-together for

the Palestinian track.

Israel has roundly rejected past attempts to revive the idea of an international

peace conference dealing with the Golan. According to the Prime Minister's

Office, Lavrov raised the conference idea with Olmert, who remained noncommittal

even on the Palestinian track.

Archived Famine N.E.W.S.

Nexus of Early Warning Systems (N.E.W.S.)

The N.E.W.S. (Nexus of Early Warning Systems) is a monthly publication aimed at

decision-makers in Ireland, on the European stage, and in the wider world, with

an immediacy which comes through the use of new technology. The N.E.W.S provides

monthly summaries of food security situations in selected developing countries.

Each month, researchers at the famine center compile food security information

from the Internet and the World Wide Web. Currently, a combination of an

approximate twenty five web sites and situation reports from various active

organizations are accessed.

Food insecurity alone is not a satisfactory indicator of famine, thus problems

such as conflict and unfavorable climate are also discussed. Once this

information is collected, the editorial team decide which countries are facing

problems of food insecurity.

Eritrea

Drought situation having huge humanitarian consequences throughout the country

Sudan

The food situation has deteriorated to alarming levels in several parts of Bahr

El Ghazal province

Somalia

Peace talks have entered final stage ... condition of livestock and crops has

greatly improved ..

Central Africa

Democratic Republic of Congo

Continued fighting has displaced 1.7 million people throughout the country and

has cut off millions of others from their traditional means of subsistence.

Rwanda

High temperatures and sporadic rainfall in March and early April has affected

the sorghum and bean crops

West Africa.

Sierra Leone

Refugee census to take place .... Amnesty condemn the signing of impunity

agreement with USA

Zimbabwe will need to import almost 1.3 million tonnes of food, either

commercially or through food aid, to meet the minimum food needs of its people

Malawi

Food security outlook for this year is better than last year

Madagascar

WFP says calls for assistance to Madagascar have largely gone unheeded by International Community

THESE ARE JUST A FEW COUNTRIES AFFECTED and with the US drought hitting hard this year we are not far behind! What happens to our crops when there are NO BEES this spring?

These are just a few of the thousands of articles around the world not told to most Americans because our government doesn’t want our people getting frantic.

CHECK OUT YOUR INTERNET NEWS FOR REAL NEWS!

It is time to wake up people, we are running out of time, are you close to God, or are you just going along like nothing is happening like the BIRD who sticks his head in a hole, are you sticking your head in the sand? I am saying we all need to be praying everyday and every free moment to stay close to God before all hell breaks out. Look what happen to the people during Katerina now imagine a dirty bomb or nuke going off in one or more of our major cities LIKE --St. Louis or L.A or Seattle ,what do you think people are going to do?

Just stop and think about it ?

NO WATER, NO ELECTRIC, NO TV, NO FOOD ,NO GAS, NO GOING TO K-MART WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I am not trying to scare you but wake you up to read your Bible and find out what you can do to help those around you. Have you watched the news of late? The latest is that China, Russia, Pakistan, India and a few other Muslim countries have asked the United States to leave Afghanistan.

Of course our beloved President Bush will say NO. We will stay to fight the terrorists, right?

Have you ever heard of ARMAGEDDON, Mr. President.

This could lead right up to the biggest war ever seen, and to the end of mankind as we know it.

This government is taking us down the road of NO RETURN.

You need to be ready; are you? Jesus said to watch, for no man knows the day or hour of the return of the Son of Man. But, He also said that as the buds on the trees turn green, you know that summer is near.(Matthew 24:32)

Read the book of Revelation chapters 18-19, and read also Daniel chapters 9-11.

Every day something bad is going on in this mean, old world, and I believe that we are getting so used to it that it does not bother anyone anymore. Like we read that in the end time, the love of many shall wax cold. (Matthew 24:12)

Brothers and sisters " LET NO MAN, STEAL YOUR CROWN"

(Romans 8:35-39) " Who, then, can separate us from the love of Christ. Can trouble do it, or hardship, or persecution, or hunger, or poverty, or danger, or death? ( Vs 36)"for your sake we are in danger of death the whole day long, we are treated like sheep that are going to be slaughtered." (Vs 37) "No, in all these things' we have complete victory through Him who loved us!" (Vs 38) "For I am certain that nothing can separate us neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers; neither the present nor the future; (Vs.39) neither the world above or the world below-there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is our s through Christ Jesus our Lord."

Remember this, it is impossible to live in the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit apart from the knowledge of and obedience to God's Holy, inspired word- THE BIBLE.

BELOVED I hope after reading this with all the scriptures that shows you God's words, not some mans words, that you can now understand the Bible if only you ask our heavenly Father to open your mind and heart to His word?

Talk to Him, ask Him to open your mind then open your Bible read it straight from the source, not some church or booklet from some church or religious pamphlet but from the Devine words of your God. YES we are near the return of our sweet savior JESUS!

GATHERING THE HARVEST
By Jimmie W Warren

Beloved, I come to you again to have you know with certainly that God loves you more than you will ever know. God and his son Jesus loved you so much that they where willing to split their family to give each and everyone of us the chance to become an heir to God's Kingdom and to share eternal life with them. (John 3:16 )

We all need to be on our knees everyday praying for the harvest because our Lord Jesus is on his way back to save all those who love Him and his Father. See our article, "You Only Live Twice" on this site.

What is the harvest you say? Well its you and me folks. Have you ever asked yourself, "Why are there so many churches out there?" The answer is, there are so many of us and our personalities are so vast that each of us need a different kind of person to reach us and teach our minds. This is why there are so many different Christian churches today.

We need to pray for the harvest of people but we also need to pray for laborers to help bring in the harvest.
If you feel that you have been called to share in the gospel, or feel called to the ministry ,then be ordained free through our church right here.
(see home page top right) and become ordained to preach and start your own church for Christ JESUS right now.
Start serving God in your own way.

I would ask that those interested read the book " Purpose Driven Life " by Pastor Rick Warren. This book will help all of you to understand what you, as a fellow human, need to be doing to help bring in the harvest. Read (Matthew 9:36-38)

Pray for God to move on others, to teach and preach about the forth coming Kingdom of God; it is your duty as a fellow disciple of our Lord Jesus. Don't just rely on your pastor or church; get the Bible� out yourself, have bible studies in your home, and talk to your neighbors and friends. Read (Hebrews.3:13-15) and (Hebrews. 4:1) see what you can do� to help your fellow brothers and sisters!

Take time to help strangers, go with your feelings when moved by the Holy Spirit; you don't know who you might be helping. The time of the end is near and we need to reach all kinds of people. We have to be like others to reach them, especially young people who are turned off by religion.

When we read in Luke7:35-38, we see how to behave toward our enemies. Then how should we treat those we know?
Love everyone not just those you know, but all people ,for they are all God's children!

I run into young people all the time who say that religion is a conspiracy brought on by our governments and the churches of this world. I counter this idea by asking how a grand conspiracy on a scale never heard of before ,could last two thousand (2,000) years? Why We can't even keep a small thing covered up for very long without someone spilling the beans.

We read in Matthew10:13-16 that we must all come before Christ as little children. This means we need to trust and come with open arms to God. A lot of churches have missed the point of our dear Lord and Savior's message of forgiveness.
They have gone way over board in preaching about doom and gloom ,fire and brimstone. Read our article, "Why do you go to church"

All Jesus ever preached was forgiveness; He even said, "I come not to judge, but to forgive." Read Mark 10:24-31.

Beloved ,we must be ready to give up everything to be in the kingdom and to help others make it. We must be willing to give up our lives to help our fellow brothers and sisters make it.
What do I mean when I say, "We must be willing to give our lives." Our life is our time, and we need to be spending more of it in helping others reach the Lord. Amen
Read our Brother James Gerke's two wonderful articles All Mankind Saved or Bottom Line #1 and #2 here on our site.
Look under writer's page and click James Gerke and read the true Gospel of All mankind being saved! Your heart will be renewed!

Let God tell you what to say to others, or wait till God opens your mouth; don't be afraid to speak the word of God.
Mark 10:20 says, "He that wins souls must be wise."

Jesus loves you so much that he laid down his life and died a miserable death so YOU could be with him and The Father in The Kingdom of God forever.
Isn't this worth sharing with those around us, our lives and time?
Think on this and ask yourself, "What am I doing to help those around me?"

Beloved, we are told that there is no greater commandment than to love one another. "As I have loved you," is what Jesus himself said, so how can we be expected to do any less?
We must take the message of Jesus to the world, the whole world.

It is time for us all to read the bible for what it really says, and not what a bunch of preachers say it says. Read it for yourself; you will be amazed at how simple the word of God is. We are to follow the example of Jesus and be forgiving to all who treat us wrong. We must repent and change our ways to be good stewards of our creator.

Beloved, I reiterate. We are running out of time, the end is very near. Don't you want all those you love to be in the kingdom of God? All people are our brothers and sisters and we are commanded to love our brothers as ourselves.
The time is right now. Where are you right now? Are you doing your part, or are you like the rest of the world, just looking out for yourself ?

All of us will be face to face with God The Father soon, and will have to give an account for our lives. Have you thought about this? Again the time is NOW!

Don't sit down and give up. Stand up for the Lord and be ready to be received in the kingdom of our God and our Savior Jesus Christ. Your eternal life is counting on it, be ready.

Amen and all praise be to God.

Prayer:
"Heavenly Father we come before thee and ask in your son's holy name that you would guide those you want to speak and write your word. That you would give more worker's for this world so many may be redeemed to you and we ask in Jesus Name that you bring your Kingdom to us soon so we may all live forever in your peace Amen!"
 

LAW VS. GRACE
by Jimmie Warren

When you read your Bible, have you ever noticed that Jesus never condemns anyone except the religious leaders of the time?
When they came to him and asked why he ate with tax collectors and whores, Jesus told them "That the well do not need a doctor."(Matt.9:12 and Luke 5:31)

Jesus was trying to tell them that those who did not know the word of God needed to hear God's plan to save the world. He preached, that if they would only believe what he was telling them, then they would be saved.

Now one young man came to ask Jesus what else he needed to do to be saved. He had kept the law all his life and did not want to miss out on salvation, so he asked again what he must do to be saved. (Matt.19:16-20) Jesus' reply was shocking to the pharisees. He said, he who believes in me and the one who sent me shall be saved. (Romans 10:9)
Where is all the law stuff??

Yes, the New Testament does talk about keeping the Ten Commandments, but Jesus goes even farther saying that if you even look on a woman and lust, you have committed adultery. (Matt. 5:28)

The Jews of that time did not get it. Everything had to be by the book. They even killed Jesus using the Law of Moses.
A lot of churches today go by the letter of the law ,not by the spirit of the law.

Which one do you think God judges you by??
Look in the Bible yourself in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
They all have the message of salvation there.
God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son so you and I could be saved. (John 3:16)

That's GRACE folks, not LAW.
Jesus' death means nothing if we can save ourselves by keeping some written law. Jesus even tells the people that the law is a curse to man and that no man can keep the law, not even the priests in the temple.

Today some churches are still trying to get us back into bondage by keeping the old laws. They want us to keep special holy days, to eat or not eat certain foods, to wear what they deem fit, to drive the appropriate car, to wear our hair at just the right length, etc. Where does the Bible say, tell my people what to wear? Where does it say , lord it over my people until I get back?

Why do some ministers insist on preaching about giving money to this cause or that cause? The Bible clearly says what you receive freely, give freely, doesn't it? (Matt. 10:8)

Now, everyone knows, or should know, that it takes a certain amount of money to run a church, so everyone should give as God has blessed them to give.

Paul says, "we should give from our heart.
God loves a generous heart, and it is true that you cannot out give God." (II. Cor. 9:7)
Come on people, where is your heart? If you think, "Do I have to give my hard-earned money to that church ," then you don't get it!God does not need your grubby money. God loves a giving heart. Take someone like the little old woman who gave her last penny to help others. (Mark 12:42-44)
Next time you give to God ask yourself, "Am I giving this because I want to, or because I feel I have to?".

Our churches want us to give from the bottom of our pockets, but God wants your gift to come from the bottom of your heart.
If all people would give this way, God would bless them hundreds of times over. Our churches would be debt-free. Our country would be debt-free. If all, rich and poor alike, would pay 10 percent of what they make, then we would owe nothing.

The churches of today are always trying to out do the other churches down the street, so they plead for more money.
If every saint would help his fellow man, we could reach the world with the message of Christ.

Too many ministers want to build their own ministries to be world famous. Then they get so wrapped up in doing the work that they forget who they are working for. JESUS is our boss,and if he wants you to do bigger things, HE will provide for your needs without pleading the money out of people who don't want to give it anyway. Remember this if God is behind you, then you will get the job done with all the money you need or not.

I don't understand all these churches preaching about old laws that Jesus took to the cross with him. He did this so it wouldn't be hard to make it into God's kingdom. He said he did not come to do away with the law but to complete it. (Matt. 5:17)

Jesus is the only man who could keep the law perfectly.
We need to stop here and think..."Why would the Son of God come here to hang on a tree and bleed to death, so we could live forever.? "Why would he make laws so hard to keep that if we even try, we fail. (Gal.3) Is this a loving Father?

Does any of this make sense, People wake up. Read what your Bible says about salvation yourself.Jesus says over and over that he who believes in me shall be saved, not he who works his way up the ladder.(Eph.2:8-9).

Remember what Paul said in I Cor.{13:1-13.} "If you keep all these things and don't have love, you may not even be in the kingdom of God."

Jesus said he gives two new commandments.These are to love God with all your heart and to love your fellow man as you love yourself. (Matt.22:37-40) This is all the law we need to keep.

Don't let your pastor bring you back under the old law. Read what Paul says in these books of the Bible:Ephesians, Galatians, and Colossians. These are three books of your own Bible that you need to read to be truly free in Christ Jesus.

I hope in some small way that the truth is here for all of you.
Get your Bibles out, wipe off the dust, and read how simple salvation really is for you and me. Amen
 

A BIG LIE ABOUT EVER BURNING HELL!

A BIG LIE ABOUT EVER BURNING HELL!
by Jimmie W. Warren


I want you to read this and read each scripture so you can see we have all been taught� A BIG LIE ABOUT EVER BURNING HELL!
Let me explain why I picked this title. I was studying a few scriptures about the second death and thought this subject would make an excellent article to read, so here it is.

First of all, and most importantly, is the fact that most churches don't preach about this message because they are not taught about it. Conventional churches preach about an ever-burning Hell and going to Heaven. If they were to go to some of the scriptures I will give you to look up, then they would have to change the way they were taught at their ministerial schools.

I don't want to upset anyone with the facts, but they are clearly there. After you read THESE SCRIPTURES for yourself, I will show you what God's word says to his children. Then you will have to ask yourself some new questions about the hereafter.

Now I want to ask you to think about the many scriptures telling us about our all-loving Father God. He is a God who gave his only begotten son, (JOHN 3:16) Jesus Christ, who died for us so we could live and be with Him forever. Don't you think that our God would do everything so that all mankind could make it to His kingdom? ( II Peter 3:9)READ "ALL MAN SAVED) by James Gerke

Most people have been taught that if you mess up in this life then you will be thrown into a fiery hell and burn forever and ever. This is a satanic idea if I ever heard one, and believe me I have heard it a lot. Some will be praying that I go there right after they read this article, but wrong is wrong.Check out what� the Bible really say's about life after death and the second death!

Almost every church I have attended over the last forty-five years has taught the message of an ever-burning hell because they have all been taught this false doctrine of men passed down from generation to generation. The message about a hell that burns forever and ever was brought down from the early Catholic teaching, which they adopted from the writings of a man named Dante. Dante Alighierie wrote a book called "Dante's Inferno" which he himself said was a dream. Dante wrote a play from his book to insult the pope of the time because he and the pope didn't like each other. Check out the book and read about the story yourself. The Catholic Church later adopted this ever-burning hell idea to scare the people into listening to its teachings and later to receive monies from its flock.

After many years of study they found that to keep people in church you must hold sway over them, and by preaching ever-burning hell, they had them.

Now ask yourself, could you ever be happy in a kingdom where day and night all you heard were the screams of your loved ones who didn't make it into that kingdom?
What an horrible idea to put into someone's mind!
Yet this is what you hear from the pulpit every Sunday.

I will give you scripture after scripture to read for your own benefit and you can make up your own mind.Now before you decide to not read this message, please see what the three totally different meanings of the English word "hell" are.
All three are translated into the King James and Catholic translations of the Bible.

1)--(tartaros) which refers only to the present condition of darkness, or perversion, and restraint, of fallen angels, or demons.( 2 Peter:2:4)

2)--(gehenna) which is a place at the bottom of a high ledge at the south end of Jerusalem, where trash, refuse, bodies of dead animals, and the bodies of the worst criminals were dumped over this ledge to be burned up. Down below this dump, fires were kept burning day and night to consume all things until they were turned into ashes or gone. This is the word used by Jesus when he spoke of being finally destroyed in hell fire. (John 15:1-6)

3)--(Hades) which means the grave-- a place of burial in the ground! This is the most common Greek word used today.

When the King James translation of the Bible was made, the Englishmen spoke commonly of "putting their potatoes in hell for winter keeping." These farmers put their potatoes into the ground to last ,for eating until spring. This is the "hell" Jesus was buried in. His soul was not left in the grave, or tomb, from which He was resurrected!

This" hades" was also the "hell" in which the rich man was buried! Read Luke Chapter16. Many preachers use this one parable to teach that we are all going to hell to be burned forever and ever, ONE SCRIPTURE!
See Strongs Concordence---Parable a story told by Jesus to teach the Jews)


NO WHERE does JESUS CHRIST say that we will burn in hell forever and ever.Read your own Bible. Look for it; you will not find going to a hell where you burn forever and ever.

Let's read what happened to the rich man in (Luke 16:22)?
Jesus did not say the rich man was taken immediately at that time to an eternally-burning hell. He said the rich man died, and the rich man was buried. One is not buried unless he is covered up. People are buried in a grave and covered up with dirt, or put in a vault or cave and sealed in a tomb as Jesus was.Remember this is a Parable--a made up story,an example, it is not real!

The imaginary hell that was invented by Dante Alighieri,and accepted by the Roman Catholic Church,then even later by most Protestant churches, is never pictured as a burial! The rich man in (Luke 16:23- 25) died and was buried. See where Jesus said that the rich man was buried.Read it in your own Bible. Later on I will show verses in Revelation showing where the rich man and the rest of evil people will be put.

This parable has been used by many preachers to scare the heck out of people, to make them "come to the Lord."

Well brethren I've got news for those of you who go to church just to keep from burning in hell ;your there for the wrong reason. God doesn't want anyone who doesn't love Him because of who He is�or because of who Jesus is. God wants you there to be His loving sons and daughters. Amen!

(Matthew 13:30) speaks of the wicked being gathered into bundles to be burned up. What happens to weeds and branches when cast into fire;they burn up! The human body will not burn forever; when cast into fire it will burn up.This is the second death in�the book of Revelation chapter 20:14,21:8

In (Matthew 3:12), John the Baptist warned the Pharisees that they would be burned up as chaff if they didn't repent and change their ways. They shall perish and not be anymore."Into smoke shall they consume away."(Psalms 37:20)Where do you see anyone burning forever and ever?????

(Malachi 4:1-3) says, "For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of host, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. And you shall tread down this wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this."

This is talking about the end time. Get out your own Bible and read these scriptures yourself. Don't just take what you have heard all your life for granted. READ THE BIBLE YOURSELF!

This is too important a matter to sluff off. (Psalm37:20) "Into smoke shall they consume away." They shall perish and be no more.

The wages of sin is death, not endless torment as most preachers teach. Read ( Romans 6:23.)
Eternal-burning hell and the torture of Dante's fabled hell is unreal IT IS A STORY MADE UP BY MENS DOCTRINES.

Jesus illustrates death and a resurrection from the dead and restoration of consciousness. Finally, the second death is the lake of fire that burns forever where both body and soul are burned up.
Read IT in (Matthew 10:28) This is the second death spoken of in (Revelation 20:14,REV 21:8).

Beloved of Christ your eternal life is too important to be wrongly taught. Read the Bible yourself, find out what is coming soon, and know for sure where you will be for eternity.

�For you will live twice, or die a second time forever.

If you have not turned your life over to Jesus, take the time to do it now. Just say this simple prayer.
" Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. I believe you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for my sins. Come into my life, save me from all wrong, so I may live again with you and our Heavenly Father forever Amen !"

Beloved if you said this prayer, you are saved. Find a good Bible-reading church and be baptized in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming soon, and we are going to live with Him forever and ever!I WANT TO SEE YOU ALL THERE.�Amen

A WAY TO ANSWER AND PROCLAIM JESUS TO MORMONS AND JW'S
Posted by Jim Warren on Tuesday, August 1 2006

An easy way to witness to Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses

The following method of witnessing to Cultists is non_offensive and powerful. It focuses on Jesus, the gospel, and uses Scripture. This is important for three reasons:

1) Jesus draws all men to Himself (John 12:32)

2) the Gospel is powerful for salvation (Rom. 1:16) 

3)God’s Word accomplishes what God wants it to (Isaiah 55:11).

If someone puts his faith in the Jesus of Mormonism or Jehovah’s Witnesses, or any other cult, then his faith is useless. The validity of faith does not rest in itself, but in its object. The greatest faith in someone false is the same as no faith at all.

That is the case with the Mormons and the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Each group believes in a Jesus, but not in the Jesus of the Bible, and because they each have a false Jesus (2 Cor. 11:4), they each preach a false gospel (Gal. 1:8-9). They may be sincere, but they are sincerely wrong – dead wrong.

The official theologies of the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses do not permit prayer to nor the worship of Jesus. They also deny that He can be called their God.

But the Bible permits, even encourages, these things for the true believer. The true Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible, is prayed to, worshiped, and called God. And, this is where we must begin.

If you can prove a Cultist wrong in a minor point of theology, he is still a Cultist. But, if you show him that the Jesus he believes in is not the same one found in the Bible, then you have undermined his entire theology.

In brief, you should introduce the Cultist to the real Jesus: the one of the Bible who is prayed to (Acts 7:59; 1 Cor. 1:1-2), worshiped (Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6), and called God (John 20:28 - Heb. 1:8).

The hope is that once the Cultist sees that he is without the Jesus of the Bible, he will realize he doesn’t have the true God. Then, hopefully, he will accept Christ and leave his cult. If not, at least the seeds of truth will have been planted and he will have been exposed to the true Jesus. The "approach" is simple.

Establish a common ground: the need to know the Father.

Establish that the only way to the Father is through Jesus: the Jesus of the Bible.
Show the need for having the correct Jesus, the one of historical (and Biblical) Christianity.
Establish that the Jesus of the Bible is prayed to, worshiped, and called God.

Ask the Cultist if he prays to, worships, and calls Jesus God. Ask the Cultist why he is right and you are wrong if you do what the scriptures teach and he doesn’t.
Present the gospel

Remember, a false Jesus cannot save. Sincerity and false messiahs do not bridge the gap of sin between God and man, only the Jesus of the Bible does that.
Here is a sample dialogue between a Christian and a Cultist.

Christian: Would you agree with me that we both want to know the Father and do what He wants us to do?"

Cultist: Yes.

Christian: How, then, do we get to know the Father?

Cultist: Through prayer and reading the Bible.

Christian: Well, that’s not a bad answer. But Jesus said that he was the One who revealed the Father to us (Matt. 11:27 and Luke 10:22). So, to know the true Father we must first know the true Jesus, right?

Cultist: Yes, that seems reasonable.
(You are not attacking his doctrine, you are appealing to his desires which, on the surface, are identical to yours: to serve and love God. You can catch more bees with honey than with a hammer.)

Christian: Well, let me ask you another question. Will a false Jesus reveal the true God?

Cultist: No. I suppose not.

Christian: That’s right. The real issue then, isn’t that we are going to church or are nice people. It’s whether or not we know the true Jesus so that He can reveal to us the true God. Right?

Cultist: Right?
Christian: The question is, "How do we find the true Jesus?" The only way I can think of is if we go to the Bible. That is where the true Jesus is, right?

Cultist: Right. But you could also pray and ask God to reveal Him to you.

Christian: I see what you mean. But how could you pray to God if the only way to get to Him is through Jesus, and you don’t have the right Jesus? Wouldn’t prayer, then be useless?

Cultist: Not if you’re sincere.

Christian: But then you are saying that if you are sincere, you don’t need Jesus. Do you see the problem with that? Sincerity doesn’t make access to God possible. Only Jesus does that. Remember, Jesus said that no one comes to the Father, except by Him (John 14:6).

Cultist: But doesn’t James 1:5 say if you lack wisdom to ask of God and He will give it to you? So couldn’t you ask God for wisdom about what is true?

Christian: James was written to those who were already believers; they already had the true Jesus and, therefore, the true Father. Also, wisdom is the proper use of knowledge. It isn’t the gaining of knowledge, nor is it gaining access to God. Do you see that you still have to have the true Jesus. Because if you were to pray to God for wisdom, and you served a false Jesus, then who is going to answer your prayers? It wouldn’t be God would it?

Cultist: I see your point.

Christian: Good. Now let me ask you a couple of questions to get things started. If you were to say, "Father receive my spirit," who would you be praying to?

Cultist: I would be praying to the Father.

Christian: Right. If you were to say, "Jesus receive my spirit," who would you be praying to?

Cultist: I wouldn’t pray to Jesus. I would only pray to the Father. That is what He said to do in Matt. 6. He said to pray, "Our Father who art in heaven..."

Christian: Yes, that’s true. But if you believe it do you do it? Do you pray that way all the time?
 

Cultist: Of course I do.

Christian: No, what I mean is. Do you pray that prayer. If you believe that is what you are to pray, then you could only pray that particular prayer. You would have to repeat it every time you prayed. But that isn’t what Jesus intended. It was a model prayer. It is what we are to follow. May we continue? You’ll see what I’m getting at in a moment.Cultist: Sure. Go ahead 

Cultist: I would be praying to Jesus.

Christian: Right. Now, in Acts 7:55-60, Stephen, while full of the Holy Spirit, prayed to Jesus. It says, "And they went on stoning Stephen as he called upon the Lord and said, ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’" (See also, Acts 9:14; Rom. 10:13.) Stephen prayed to Jesus, not just through Him. If it is acceptable for him then it should be alright for you. The Jesus of the Bible is prayed to. I pray to Jesus. Do you? If yes, good. If not, why not?
(If you are talking to a Mormon, you may want to mention that in the Book of Mormon in 3 Nephi 19:18, Jesus is prayed to -- not just through!)

Cultist: Jesus said to pray to the Father. So, I do.

Christian: Yes, I agree. I do too. But I also pray to Jesus as Stephen did. If the church is only to pray to the Father, then why did Stephen, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, address Jesus in His prayer? Was he wrong?

Cultist: I don’t have an answer.

Christian: Also, what does it mean to call upon the name of the Lord?

Cultists: I don’t know. What does it mean?

Christian: It means to seek God, even to pray to God. For example, in Psalm 116:4 it says, "Then I called on the name of the LORD: ‘O LORD, save me!’" In 1 Cor. 1:1-2 the church calls upon the name of the Lord Jesus. That is, they prayed to Jesus. Now, if Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, could pray to Jesus, and the church in 1 Cor. 1:1-2 could too, then shouldn’t you be able to do the same thing?

Cultist: Well, I’m not sure. I’ve never really considered this before.

Christian: Glad to see you’re honest. Let’s continue. Jesus was also worshiped. The verses for these are: "And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, ‘You are certainly God’s son!’" (Matt. 14:33). "And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him" (Matt. 28:9). (See also Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6.) Do you do what His disciples did? Do you worship Jesus?

(Mormon theology does not allow worship of Jesus. However, some Mormons do anyway. They just don’t know that their church has, and still does, teach against doing so. If the person says he worships Jesus, ask him how he can do that without praying to Him. If, on the other hand, the Mormon has said he does pray to Jesus and that he does worship Jesus, then encourage him to continue and remind him that it is Jesus who has the authority (Matt. 28:18) to forgive sins (Luke 5:20-24; 7:48-49); He judges (John 5:22,27); He gives eternal life (John 10:28; 5:40), etc. -- See 100 Truths About Jesus. The whole point is to try to get him to ask the true Jesus to forgive him of his sins and reveal the Father to him.)

(All Jehovah’s Witnesses say no to worshiping Jesus. They have their own Bible where they have mistranslated the word ‘worship’, wherever it refers to Jesus, to the words ‘do obeisance’ which means to show respect or honor to someone. Because of this, using the verse about worship will not carry much weight. In that case, you will want to substitute this...)

Christian: Do you honor Him equally with the Father as Jesus said to do in John 5:23?

Cultist:: Not equally. The Father is greater than Jesus.

Christian: The Father was greater in position. Remember, Jesus was made for a little while lower than the angels (Heb. 2:9). It was in this humbled state that He said the Father was greater than He. He didn’t say different or better, only greater. You must understand that Jesus was fully man as well as fully God and as a man was in a lesser position. Still though, Scripture requires that you honor Him equally with the Father as Jesus said. If you don‘t, then why not?

Cultist: I don’t have an answer.

Christian: Alright. There is just one more issue to address. Do you call Jesus your Lord and your God?

Cultist: No, I don’t.

Christian: After Jesus’ resurrection He showed Himself to many people. One of them was Thomas. John 20:28 says, "Thomas answered and said to Him [Jesus], ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Because you have seen Me, have you believed?’"
In addition, God calls Jesus God in Heb. 1:8, "But of the Son He [the Father] says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever..." The Father calls Jesus God. Thomas called Him his Lord and God. Do you call Jesus your Lord and your God?

Cultist: No. I don’t call Jesus my Lord and God.
(Jehovah’s Witnesses will say that Thomas was swearing. Ask them why Jesus didn’t rebuke Thomas for swearing? Besides, in the Greek, Thomas literally said, "The Lord of me and the God of me.")

(With a Mormon, you can again mention the reference in the Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 19:18 where Jesus is also called Lord and God.)

Christian: My question to you is this. If I have the wrong Jesus, and therefore I serve the wrong God, then why do I pray to Jesus, worship Him, and call Him my Lord and God as the Scriptures teach? But, if you have the true Jesus, why is it you don’t do those things?

Cultist: (Silence!)

Christian: It seems clear that if you want your sins forgiven then you need to go to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you. Remember, the true Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible, is prayed to, worshiped, and called God. That is the same Jesus I serve. Which one do you serve?
Christian: Since Jesus is the one who forgives sins, then I go to Him. You can too. All you have to do is pray to Him and ask Him to forgive you of your sins. You already know you are a sinner. So simply go to Him, the real Jesus, and receive the forgiveness of sins through faith in Him.

This brief approach is powerful because it brings the Cultist face-to-face with the Jesus of the Bible. Though the Cultist won’t respond by dropping to his knees, at least you will have exposed him or her to the real Jesus.

Also, remember that the Word of God will accomplish what God wishes it to: "So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire," (Isaiah 55:11).

MY NAME IS METH

 

I am Meth.
 
I am Meth. magnify
A young Indian girl who was in jail for drug charges, and was addicted to meth wrote this. As you will soon read, she fully grasped the horrors of the drug, as she tells in this simple, yet profound poem. She was released but true to her story, the drug owned her. They found her dead body not long after with the needle still in her arm.
“I am Meth”

My name: “Is Meth”

I destroy homes, I tear families apart,

Take your children, and that’s just the start.

I am more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold,

The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember I’m easily found,

I live all around you – in schools and in town

I live with the rich; I live wit the poor,

I live down the street, and maybe next door.

I’m made in a lab, but not like you think,

I can be made under the kitchen sink.

In your childs closet, and even in the woods,

If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.

I have many names, but theres one you know best,

Im sure you’ve heard of me, my name is crystal meth.

My power is awesome; try me you’ll see,

But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go,

But try me twice, and I’ll own your soul.

When I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie,

You do what you have to -- just to get high.

The crimes you’ll commit for my narcotic charms

Will be worth the pleasure you’ll feel in your arms.

You’ll lie to your mother; you’ll steal from your dad,

When you see their tears, you should feel sad.

But you’ll for get your morals and how you were raised,

I’ll be your conscience, I’ll teach you my ways.

I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,

I turn people from god, and separate friends.

I’ll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,

I’ll be with you always – right by your side.

You’ll give up everything – your family, your home,

Your friends, your money, then you’ll be alone.

I’ll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,

When im finished with you, you’ll be lucky to live.

If you try me be warned – this is no game,

If given the chance, I’ll drive you insane.

I’ll ravish your body, I’ll control your mind

I’ll own you completely, your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I’ll give you while lying in bed,

The voices you’ll hear, from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you’ll see,

I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.

But then it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart,

That you are mine, and we shall not part.

You’ll regret that you tried me, they always do,

But you came to me, not I to you.

You knew this would happen, many times you were told,

But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.

You could have said no, and just walked away,

If you could live that day over, now what would you say?

I’ll be your master, you will be my slave,

I’ll even go with you, when you go to the grave,

Now that you have me, what will you do?

Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you.

I can bring you more misery than words can tell,,

Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES


 
Beloved brethren, as I am writing this to you, I feel the urgent call to shout out, " We are running out of time."
 
Awhile back, as I was praying, a voice came to my mind, not an audible voice like a person talking, but as clearly as though someone was speaking directly to me. Now during this prayer time, I was praying for others and their needs, when I heard again " You are running out of time." It was  unnerving to say the least. At first I thought it was only my mind trying to put off time of prayer, as our minds do when we get tired or want to quit praying. Anyway as I kept asking for God to intervene in the life of a fellow brother in the faith, I heard the voice once again, " Running out of time."  At that moment I had to stop and think about what I was hearing, and why?
 
I have written an article, "ARE WE OUT OF TIME," and in it I explain more about this dream.
Some of you may not have read this interesting article on our web site at WWW.simplesalvation.org.  If not, then please take the time to read it. I think you will find it most helpful in your hunt for end-time issues.
 
I started asking myself ,"WHO IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME?"
Is it me; am I, or are we as people running out of time? It still bothers me, and to this day in the back of my mind I can still hear the words, "RUNNING OUT OF TIME." See (Luke 12:39-40)
 
I talk to a lot of people through the Internet, some in the body of Christ and others seeking to be a part of Christ. I have talked to some people who don't care about churches or religion at all; yet all of them talk about how this world is going to Hell in a hand basket.
 
People are scared to death about what's going on in Iraq, China, North Korea, and all this talk about dirty bombs. How could you not be worried with all that is going on around us today?
 
Read  (Luke 12:54-56).   Jesus was talking of His coming at that time. But, I believe He is warning us of this time and age, right now! Some ministers preach and believe that Matthew chapter 24 was only talking about the 70 AD destruction of the temple. However, how do they explain verses 27-31? 

Jesus did not return in 70 AD, did he? . We have no record of the sun turning dark or the moon turning blood red as the signs of His coming is told to us in the end time. If even one of these events would have happened, the astronomy of that time would have recorded the event. So we are to assume that this is talking about another time, our time.
 
This means that a new temple must be standing in the end  time. Well sisters and brothers of the faith, I have good news for you. A new temple is being readied right now in Israel. Right now they are getting ready to put it together on the Holy site.
 
Be on guard, get ready.  Read (Luke 12:47-48).
Are you the servant in verse 47,the servant who knows what his master wants him to do, but does not get himself ready to do what his master wants. He will be punished with a heavy whipping.
 
 To all of you my fellow brethren, I say we need to get busy telling everyone we can that we are running out of time. We are coming to the day of our Lord Jesus Christ's return. Are you doing your job? Are you ready to meet God and tell Him what a good job you have tried to do for Him?
 
Do not  be like the servants in (Luke 12:45). Don't think, "Yeah, I"ve heard all this before; I even heard my grandmother talk about the return of the Lord, so what? " Woe unto the men who say the Lord delays His return. Well I am writing this to show you that the time of the end, or as I prefer to say the time of a new beginning, is upon us. (Matthew 24: 42 )
 
Do you know that in Israel 18 months ago, the Sanhedrin (which is the religious court of the Jews) was reborn? All their priests have their holy garments made and have been taught their duties for the temple, to preform all the duties of the mosaic laws of old? These priests of the court have given their OK for a new temple to be built. The four corner stones have been made according to rules set up by their old ways and are ready to be moved to the temple mount anytime they wish. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL!
 
Read (Revelation 11:1-2). This is talking about the end time temple; it will be a fact one day soon! ARE YOU READY for what is about to happen? Well are you? ( Matthew 24:44-51 )

You see, all the other times that people talked about the end coming, the Jews had not come back home yet. There was no land of Israel until a 1947.The nation of Israel was born, and now they are planning to rebuild their holy temple and sacrifice to their God to ask for His protection on their nation. They are looking for their Messiah to save them and for Him to return to His people. Well, He is on His way back and they will know Him when they see the nail prints in His hands and feet.
 
As soon as the Jews build their temple, then we are in the count down to ARMAGEDDON, the end time war just before the Jew's Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ, returns. Hallelujah!  If you know it or not, we are running out of time. Just look around you; you can see it if you will open your eyes. Read (Matthew 24:14), then read Daniel chapter 11 then Revelation chapter 11.
Also read Matthew 24:14 with Luke 21:7-19.
 
I know this is a lot of reading to do, but your life, and all those you love, may depend on you knowing this. Read more in
(Luke 21:20).  Jesus was speaking of the 70 AD time here but also about the end time verses 25-28.  How close do you think we are now?
 
My brothers and sisters, we must get out and do something to spread the news about Jesus and His soon appearance on this planet of ours. Read (Romans 10:11-13).
Everyone can be saved!  (Romans 10:14-15) is what we all need to share with everyone who will listen, before it is too late. Look at (Romans 12:1-2).  Life in God's Service, are you there yet? While reading this chapter of Romans, starting in verse four and five, replace the word parts with the word churches. Now read verses 6 - 21. This is talking about all of us, so don't play around anymore, because we are out of time.
 
Watch your news;  pay very close attention to what is happening in the nation of Israel. Be praying all the time, not just at bed time or at church, but all the time. Our sisters and brothers of the world need to know what time it is.
 
Ask yourself about things like:
1) NATIONAL I.D. CARDS /CHIPS
2) NEW WORLD ORDER
3) Jerusalem becoming a world capital city.
4) WORLD WAR III
5) One third of all mankind killed, (THAT'S 2 BILLION PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET.) Any of this sound familiar at all? If not, you need to pay more attention to what is going on around you. It is time to quit playing religion, don't you think?
 
Going to church every Sabbath (Saturday or Sunday) makes no difference if you are just playing church. Are you in church because you want to be with our Father God and His son Jesus Christ? Are you in church because you want to be a part of God's everlasting kingdom? Maybe you are just going to church because it's a tradition in your family? Maybe you are in church because you did something wrong or are doing something wrong now. I don't know, but you are running out of time my friend; you better ask yourself some of these questions while you can.

How about this one, you are going to church for the family, or your mate says you have to go. What I am getting at is,  where are your heart and mind? Are you trying to get closer to God to serve Him, or are you there just for show?
 
I am telling you now, you should be in church or starting a church to spread the Good News of the coming of the Lord. We are out of time to just go to church to please anyone except Jesus, the only one who counts. If you are in church for any other reason you are wasting time. WAKE UP!  It is time for all of us to quit playing religion don't you think?
 
At anytime a terrorist will set off a dirty bomb or spread germ warfare, and the world as we know it will be in anarchy. Just think of what will happen when one or two nukes go off here in America? Remember what the people did during
