    The thing is.. we can't go by our feelings. They are fickle. This is why you have faith when you are in church and then you don't when you are out. Our feelings change day to day. When my faith "feels" low, I get in the Bible and read about Jesus. I listen to messages about Jesus. Take for instance the woman at the well, she had five husbands and was living with some guy when she ran into Jesus! Her problem was She was self occupied. She wouldn't go to the well when most woman did because she didn't want to be shunned or talked about. After she had an encounter with the Lord Jesus.. Well I just have to laugh. Read what she does... she runs into town, no longer concerned about her feelings, her sin, or about what other people think of her. NO! She is proclaiming she talked to HIM for everyone to come and listen to HIM. He changed her life and her self worth and certainly her faith.

    It is amazing what Jesus can do for feelings of low faith. If you will simply turn your thoughts to him. Read about him, think on him. Listen to messages about him. I personally wouldn't say he is mysterious... I would say He is altogether LOVELY, Amazing, wonderful. He is called our counselor in the Bible. Now how can he councel us if he doesn't talk directly to us? He does but not with an audible voice... no it is through his Word. Read the Bible.

    Reach out to others, especially to "the least of these." When you lose yourself in love and in helping others, you will find yourself and see God in their faces.

    That is a very good question and many are asking that and get no answer. What I give may not be what one wants to here but in strictly from Gods Word. There is a scripture that I will paraphrase, " there is a way that seems right to man, but the end thereof is death". What does that mean?

    Many are being lead astray by Church's in which the truth is not given. In individuals minds there is something that is not right. The go to church and go through the motions but nothing is really there.

    Are they really getting the truth Of God? Most who go to Church do not check for themselves to see if what is said is true. Lets take for instance, is Heaven of the Kingdom of God up in Heaven or is that where it will be? God said His Kingdom will be on this Earth. But wait, that is not being taught.

    There is much more that is not taught correctly. Think about it. Check it out for yourself, do not take my word or anyone else word.

    Then you are hanging out with the wrong crowd. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

    I have often said:

    Don't judge Jesus by the company he keeps.

    When most are asked if they are a Christian they will probably answer, yes I am. But will this answer be the true answer or is there more to it than just say “yes I am”? There are over thousands of different denominations in the World and in our Nation and everyone of them has their own belief on how one can become a Christian.

    Some say all one has to do is to confess with their own mouth that Jesus Christ is Gods Son and that He died for them and that is all there is to it and they become a Christian. Some say that you have to do more in becoming a Christian. The truth is that there are many beliefs on how one may become a true Christian, but are they right and what does it really take for one to become a Christian?

    Every Sunday there are millions who attend Church services some where in our Nation and when it is over they feel good about themselves because they did attend Church as they were suppose to do. They were uplifted by what they heard by their ministers and shake their head in agreement. Love of fellow man would have been taught because this is what Jesus said to do. Talking about Heaven and Hell would be one of the main themes and how they would want to make it to one and not want to go to the other. This is all good, but is there more to becoming a Christian than what one may believe?

    The truth is there is only one way to become a Christian or that is to become a potential Son and or Daughter of God and many believe they are right. But what does God have to say about his? In Matthew Ch. 3 John was saying “repent”, but what was he talking about? To repent means to change from one way to another, but what change was he talking about?

    It goes on to say when they confessed their sins they were baptized. But what is Sin?

    1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committees' sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

    So sin is breaking Gods Laws. God has set certain Laws, certain ways for His chosen to follow Him and in doing so they acknowledge that they are of Him because they follow Him and what He has to say.

    Pro 14:12 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death

    There is a way that seems right for many in obeying God, but in the end it is all wrong and will lead to the final death penalty. But which way is right, according to this and many statements there must be a “ right way” for Gods people to worship Him. God is one God, not many and He has one Church, one Faith and one group of people who follow Him. But why are there so many different ways to follow God?

    It is because individuals have been taught the wrong way and they eat it up with open arms and when the truth has been presented they want listen because they are seared with the iron of false belief. Sure they believe on God and Jesus Christ but not what they say.

    Most confessing Christians do not study their Bible to see if what is said is true, they just take it at face value. This is very dangerous because of what the consequences may be in the end. Why is it that most who are Christians do not check to see why it is that they observe Sunday as the day set aside by God or even if it was set aside by God?

    Did God say, OK you Jews, here is the 7th day Sabbath and for you only. Is that what God said. Or did He say the Sabbath, the seventh day was made for man.

    Mar 2:27 Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

    Mar 2:28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

    What day was He talking about, was it Sunday or was it Saturday? Why don' individuals get their head out of the sand and begin reading and studying their Bible. It is because they want someone else to do it for them and they will take it as fact on what they say. Sunday is a PAGAN day of worship and can be proven if one would just do a little search on finding out the truth. It may mean their Salvation.

    I challenge anyone to go to any Encyclopedia and look up “Sunday worship” and one will see the truth on how it was started. One will see that Constantine in 321 AD instituted Sunday worship so Christians would have their own day of worship. This is a slap in the face to our God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

    Did the Christian organization get Sunday worship because they believed Jesus to be resurrected on Sunday? The truth is, He was not resurrected on Sunday as has been taught, He was raised on His Sabbath, Saturday.

    Jesus said that a sign would be give to prove Him being the Christ. What was that sign? He said that as Jonah were 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of a great fish, that He would spend the same amount of time in the grave, the tomb. He specifically said 3 days and 3 nights, not a partial time of 3 days and 3 nights. Either God is a liar or someone is wrong. There is no way you can get 3- 24 hour days from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning.

    Satan is a great counterfeiter and he has sure done his work on society and the Christian origination.

    Jhn 8:47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

    Only those who are Gods chosen will understand Gods truth and no woe else because of blindness and hard of hearing. It is now time to hear because we as a Nation are going into captivity because of breaking Gods. He is angry with us and as His children and a Nation He is ready to unleash His punishments at this very moment in time.

    What I or anyone else may say about this will not be accepted by hardly anyone, but if it is and they do repent they will begin to understand Gods truth and they will come out from under the umbrella of falsehood.

    I do care and wish that we could just open the top of ones head and just pour in Gods truth but it want happen. It will take God to open the mind to His understanding. That is done by information given and one taking that information and begins to seek out Gods truth and His ways will be given to them. If one will not heed the warnings which God has given in scripture they will fine themselves and their families in the middle of the “Great Tribulation” which is now in the preparation stages.

    No rapture will be provided, only those who are of God will be protected here on this EARTH. Jesus Christ will not return until after the Tribulation is over and will not Wisk individuals away.
