Bottom line

There is a problem when you decide that there is no God. It creates a kind of vacuum that just begs to be filled.

Wait, no one to answer to except me, sounds good eh? Yeah, I’m doin it my way (not yours) Frank. I’ll go where I want, say what I want and after I die I’ll be happy, because………… Wait a minute. Something’s wrong here. In my world death doesn’t exist, or at least I don’t think about it. I’m not so sure being my own god is gonna work. I was kinda hoping I had more time. It keeps on slipping into the future (unfortunate advertisement campaign song; used by the United States Post Office done by Steve Miller). How do you manufacture time?

What a glorious day it will be when you find out the only thing holding you back from eternal life has been you! This God you did not want has been preparing for your arrival for many years. He even has road maps and people pointing the way (Check out http://www.realradioactive.org/ or http://www.leadingtheway.org/site/PageServer?pagename=listen_default ) His invitation continues to be open. His mercy endures forever; however, your time under the sun does not. The door is open now but will close soon, if you stop breathing,… even sooner. You’re free to choose (God is more “pro-choice” than those that claim the title). He is gentle and won’t force you (whereas some religious might) to love Him.

Bluffing in a card game only works on those who get intimidated/convinced that you’ve got a better hand than him. You’ve got to admit your hand is somewhat lacking compared with God’s. Take a good look at yourself. Are you really all that? If your answer is yes, then maybe you are a god. Your kingdom awaits; make the best of it when your time under the sun is up.

This was written to let you know that there are choices and it can never be said you did not know God YHWH had left the light on for you (get it? Light, ha!).

Just in case you haven’t made a choice yet and while there is still time, it’s Jesus that does the work. Ask Him to show you this life He has for you (where that mercy endures). He hears and answers. He did for me. I’ll stick with Him.
Try reading the Gospel of John (http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Jhn&c=1&t=NIV ); it’s a good start on getting to know the most important person you will ever know in your life.

Free to choose, free is good and the only string attached is God’s Love.

Uncle Samson?

Jdg 14:4 "His parents did not know that this was from the LORD, who was seeking an occasion to confront the Philistines; for at that time they were ruling over Israel."

I believe there is no real mention of the United States in the Bible. With specific places and times regarding prophetic events (verifiable after it happens) the Bible is silent about the land I love and call home. It makes me wonder. Could America be shadowing the life of Samson (strong and able, protecting his people and still losing his way)?

Jdg 16:1 "Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her."

Something drew him to Delilah, nothing dangerous about her, yeah. Maybe Samson should have listened to his parents when he first began looking for the right girl?

Jdg 14:3 His father and mother objected. "Isn't there even one woman in our tribe or among all the Israelites you could marry?" they asked. "Why must you go to the pagan Philistines to find a wife?" But Samson told his father, "Get her for me! She looks good to me."

I guess his strength was not an issue for him. He always had it. He probably thought it belonged to him. It took some sad turn of events to bring him back to the source of his strength. We can all take some advice here and be sure to be thankful to God YHWH for what we have. We should be aware of where we come from (our history). The future is still subject to our choices.

Jdg 16:28 “Then Samson called to the LORD, saying, "O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God,…”

You really should read it for yourself.

I hope America’s story is not like that of Samson.
America,
blessed America,
don’t turn your back on God
or His beloved Israel, please.
