BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

g084JUDGMENT DAY COMING
Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD!  Why would you have the day of the LORD?  It is darkness, and not light,  as if a man fled from a lion,  and a bear met him, or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,  and a serpent bit him.  Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light, and gloom with no brightness in it? (Amos 5:18-20 ESV)

There is a large segment of western church-goers who are extremely fond of saying the following:
“I can’t wait…”; “Come take me away, Jesus (also known as “Calgon Theology”) or “I wish the Rapture would happen right now” or name your variation of any of this. Usually these statements are made by pew-sitters. These are the majority of Christians in our churches who come in weekly for an hour or so, in order to get their weekly inoculation of what they think they need. They then go about their lives for the rest of Sunday and the following days, thereby leaving no distinguishing mark between then and the next guy. We all know people like this.

We have all been around enough sincere believers to know that weak pewsitter from the “real deal” or the remnant. The remnant are very few as Jesus Himself said when He spoke about the “elect”. When He prayed in John 17 for this future followers – the saved, the elect – He said “I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.” in John 17:9.

CHILDREN OF DARKNESS

Friday, February 24th, 2012

If you look at all the glittering lights, glamor and gaudiness of modern lifestyles or culture, the untrained eye could be led to think “we sure have come a long way”. The world measures progress by all of this and more: that is, who has has the best toys. Another yardstick is – who is more technologically savvy or proficient.

We have become so advanced in an electronic age that we see companies pushing the envelope to compete with each other. They spend billions of dollars on Super Bowl commercial ads which range from race car driver Danica Patrick, shedding her clothes year and yea, to promote an internet hosting site called Godaddy.com to a large dog seemingly burying a cat and paying off a witness with Doritos chips to say “You didn’t see nutthin”, supposedly written by the dog.

This is where the culture is in 2012. We have a so-called sophisticated society simmering in a soup of what Scripture says is “Darkness”! How can it be darkness, when we are so “enlightened” today?! Well, consider this verse “…And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil”…. (John 3:19 ESV)

The basic truth of the matter is that the “light” of the world is completely different and opposite to the Light Who came into the world over 2000 years ago! The thirst for knowledge and reason has led many to an age of Enlightenment for centuries now, but the end result of all of that is deception by the angel of light – Satan! The god of this world has so blinded so many it is now critical that we do all we can to rescue this and the next generation from the oblivion they face. This oblivion is an eternity separated from God because our kids and their kids have followed a system of education and “leadership” which turned their hearts from the One True God and Light – Jesus Christ.

Just last May, in a case which stunned America, San Antonio, Texas judge Fred Biery handed down a ruling which banned student-led benediction or invocation from graduation exercises. This is unconstitutional in itself, as the Supreme Court has allowed this freedom, as long as students lead it and not teachers.

Just last week, Cranston High School in Westerly, Rhode Island, one of the few religious towns in Rhode Island, was forced to take down a prayer banner because an atheist named Jessisca Ahlquist and the ACLU forced the matter in liberal courts there. Not just that. now Ahlquist and the ACLU want the school district to pay over $173,000 in court costs due to assuage the “pain” they suffered from having to see that banner!!! If there is any justice in America, a judge will award her no more than $1 in damages!

Men and women love the darkness. They meet in secret to have illicit affairs and trysts. They have their slimy secret societies…………….TO READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE, CLICK HERE
