Land of Milk and Honey

This video shows how God is blessing Israel again. It is a miracle how the land has been transformed from a wasteland only a few decades ago to one of the top producing exporters. Once again, God has shown that His hand of blessing and protection is on His people.

Near Miss or Wake Up Call?

Near-Earth asteroid 2011 MD passed only 12,300 kilometers (7,600 miles) above the Earth's surface on Monday June 27, 2011 at about 1:00 PM EDT. This asteroid was only discovered 5 days earlier by a team from New Mexico. It was about the size of a small house. Had it hit the earth, even over water, we would be in a very serious situation today.

The part of this news that should open most eyes is that there was essentially no warning. So many trust, at some level that science and government has a plan to protect us from these stellar threats but this event proves that we cannot trust in man. Even if the governments of the world had an actionable plan to destroy or deflect a stone house hurtling at us at over 40,000 Km/Hr, could they execute that plan in less than 5 days? I don't think so.

This the closest near-miss we've had on record, although not the only. There have been over 8 near-misses in the last year including a similarly-sized rock on June 2... and there are more to come.

2012 DA14 will pass within about 3.5 Earth radii of the Earth's surface on February 15, 2013. Although its size is not clear, this object is thought to be about 45 meters in diameter. Asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass inside the geosynchronous satellite ring, located about 35,800 km above the equator. It will achieve a magnitude of less than seven, which will make it hard to see without a telescope. About 4 minutes after its Earth close approach, there is a good chance it will pass into the Earth's shadow for about 18 minutes or so before reappearing from the eclipse.

More space rocks are coming our way (two to be exact) and according to the bible, they won't be near-misses. Revelation chapter 8 speaks of two objects, a great mountain and a great star that will strike the earth and cause death and destruction. Could the near misses of this past year simply be a wake up call? Don't put your hope in man. Put your hope in the living God so that you can benefit from His protection when the troubled times come.

The 10 Commandments

The Word teaches over and over again that we are to keep the commandments of God, however many seem to hang on to ONE verse in the New Testament that SEEMS to suggest that they have been done away with. Check out this video and then decide... Are the 10 Commandments still in effect?

Syrian Rebels Persecute Christians

It is becoming a little more difficult to sympathize and side with Syrian rebels and their struggle now that we know that they are responsible for many tortures and mass slaughters of Christians. The Christian population in Syria has dropped 98% since the uprising began, apparently because the rebels are turning against believers as they fight the Assad regime.

Pray for Israel

As you might have guessed from this blog's internet address, we are concerned for the peace and safety of Israel.

“My heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Jewish people is that they may be saved” –Romans 10:1 (my deep desire).

Please watch this video that provides convincing evidence that God's hand of protection and blessing is upon them. They still need our support though as most of the world turns their back on them.... so watch... and pray.

Is It Hard to Live by God's Moral Standard?

"The Lord wishes for no one to perish so it’s up to us" John 3:16 and 2 Peter 3:9.

I was struck over and over, in meeting and talking to many people by those who find it hard to maintain their moral values and God's ethical standards. We all know that without God’s help no one can do it, but it is possible. Without knowledge of a Holy God, a person is accountable to no one but themselves, and unless one is caught in the act of breaking one of these standards, the unethical act goes unnoticed… or so some think.

To many, life is a game of chance, forgetting that God sees all and knows all. Many, who call themselves children of God, have forgotten that while our Father in heaven is a loving God, He must also be feared as he has all final authority in heaven and Earth. As the Scripture tells us, we are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

Let Christ be our guide... not the so called “standards” of society... what the world taught us growing up. “What would Jesus do?” is often so over used, however we are to love and care for each other and be doers of His Word. Let’s make up our minds to be light and salt in a dark and tasteless world, because we will all reap what we sow, good or bad.

We are each going to stand alone in giving an account for all our sins. He said He will be coming with rewards to give to everyone according to his work (Revelation 22:12). I know there's only one place we can go when we die and that choice is yours or mine to make… heaven or the lake of fire. Please know where you are going by understanding that it is certain, that if we do nothing we'll go to the latter.

The good news is through Christ we can be forgiven and the desires of our hearts can move away from “self” into desiring to please God, even in the little things. It is simple. Just ask God, who is Lord of all, to come into your life and take over. Let Him know you are ready to give Him the reins of your life so that you can live the life He created, planned and wanted for you from before you were born. Yes He knew us before we were even born.

Where we go is up to us. As for me, my hope is in God's grace and mercy. We will all die once then whoever chooses to be stubborn and curse God, will experience a second death. God is always good, and He waits for all with patience. He is good all the time, no matter what He does, He does it for goodness and righteousness’s sake. His Word is that "He wishes for no one to perish” so it’s up to us (John 3:16 and 2 Peter 3:9).
