The next big attack
In the ongoing war on terrorism, it is not a matter of if but when is the next big attack on American soil. It seems that the FBI has been hard at work uncovering plots here on U. S. soil in New York ( May and September ), Aurora, Colorado last week, and now Dallas, Texas just yesterday. All is not quiet on the western front (USA) when it comes to this war and I am afraid too many have grown complacent and it will remain the case until something horrific happens. We all have been too busy trying to survive the economic fallout and it's aftershocks for the past year to see the signs of imminent danger headed are way. My fear is the next attack or multiple attacks will drive this nation into a state of panic and Martial Law in which I don't see us rebounding from. As we approach the midnight hour of the seven year tribulation period in bible prophecy there is no indication of a powerful nation in the west, which indicates that America will be dethroned as a world power either from within our own administration or major attacks from terrorists or what is most likely, a combination of both.

Where Do You Stand?
Do you feel as if the world is reeling?
Are you not sure of your footing?
25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." ( Matthew 7: 25-27 )
The majority of the people in this world have built a foundation on shifting sand.
It is most commonly referred to as economics, defined as " the social science that studies the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. "
It seems that everywhere you turn today in the developed nations of the world, businesses and financial institutions are crumbling beyond repair and headed for a total meltdown.
Guess what? They are!
God is giving the world and its inhabitants a message, dare I say a clue to what is coming.
This present condition we find ourselves in as a fallen world continues to unravel as God's time clock ticks off the precious moments we have left before the curtain rises on the final act in this play we call life.
My question to you is, are you ready?
Do you know where you stand?
Are you confident, standing upon the Rock of Ages, comforted by the arms of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ,
or are you slipping on uncertain ground?
If you are unsure, choose this day, this very moment, to give your heart to Christ.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ( John 14:6 )
Believe me when I say there is nothing more precious to Him than you.

The time we are given is precious!
The one area of stewardship that God equally distributes to His children is time. I don't mean that we are all guaranteed a set amount of years to live out our lives and figure out why we are here, I mean 24 hours/1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds in a sunrise to sunrise given day. Each one of us may do as we choose with that time and most are rather selfish with what we are given due to our nature. Less than 5% of that time do I give back to God. If I give Him lets say 15 minutes between prayer and reading the bible in a 24 hour period: 15 divided by 1,440 =.0104 / move the decimal point over two spots that gives God a whopping 1.04% in a 24 hour period of time! I don't know about you but I suck! Sorry God, you deserve better! The bible tells us the truth of the matter in Isaiah 64:
Isaiah 64:6All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
When I started this blog, my intent was to post at least once a week and I have had a hard time making a post once a month!
My main message for this post is this: Don't cheat yourself out of valuable time spent with Christ!
Make it a point to put Him first in your day. He will make it worth your while!

He is in charge!
If your present situation has been troubling or challanging at times and you are not sure of what to expect in the days ahead I bring you good news. No matter how unsure things look at first glance know this: God is in control.
Jeremiah 32:27"I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?
It is important to know what we cannot do or control what is in God's hands and His will.
Luke 18:27Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
Presentlly the world as a whole is suffeing an economic crisis. It is my speculation that this is because God is trying to send us a very important message.
Matthew 6:24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
If you find yourself obsessed with finances my advise to you is get obsessed with God.
He is the one who supplies all your needs and He is the one who made you with a purpose and a plan!
Philippians 4:19And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 1:11In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,
While we tend to look at the present picture, God's focus is on the end result, which
is to transform us so that we will be ready to spend eternity with Him in glory!

History in the making
Did you know that you are the sum of your choices? From the moment you awaken each day, given that you live in an environment of freedom, you get to choose your words and your deeds. Many people refer to this condition as free will. Do you ever stop to think how your words and actions effect others lives? We live in an age where you have the opportunity to reach out to hundreds (if not thousands) of people throughout the world via this tool we call the Internet. If you could tell the world anything, what would you say?
What is it that has the most weight on your heart?
I choose this day to say to you my dear reader one simple truth:
God loves you.
That my friend, is the truth. His love beamed its brightest when he sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to our realm of existence to send a message to all humankind that we our loved. Out of the love Jesus had for God, He chose to die on a cross, arms outstretched to the world, to take upon Himself all of our sin, past, present & future, so that everyone would have the choice of changing their eternal condition.
Only you and God know the condition of your heart, and only you can choose to except Christ in to change it and that my friend, is history in the making!
