To Everything... A Season: There are Storms A Plenty

There are Storms A Plenty

It has been amazing the amount of rainfall we have recently received, and more in the weather forecast. What is even more amazing are the numbers of storms, and especially tornadoes which have struck the Southern States of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and if I missed anyone I apologize.

At my last reckoning there were 329 deaths associated with these devastating winds and twisters. To those families my heart goes out to you along with my prayers.

One of the things which amazes me too is the strength and grit of the human being. You see it our resiliency to go on despite the storms of life. Some have that because God gives us zeal for life and living, and we thank Him for it. Others, wrongly, just give that to the human spirit which is virtually dead to God. Let me say to all of you; Hang on. Turn to God now if you haven't yet. He loves you. He gave His Son Jesus to die for your sins, and raise Him again to life.

As the title suggests "There are Storms A Plenty". Not all storms are made up of physical clouds, and wind. Some are going on in the political realm. Some in the matters of health. Some are financial. You get the picture. With all the hot air that is coming out of Washington D.C. and the truth of God's Word there are upheavals in our Nation. With a President who claims to be Christian, but seems tto give more honor to the muslim than to Christ we are in for one doozy of a storm.

I want to give you a link to follow. It is written by a man by the name of Jack Woodard. Read it and let's pray for our President.

Know Jesus

The Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). The glory of God was the reason for our creation. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden it passed on to their children, and that is you and me. We also read in the pages of the Bible [God’s Word] that, “There is none righteous, no, not one”. (Romans 3:10). Righteousness is simply being right with God. Because we are sinners, yet God - who is holy loved us - sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins. The Just One [Jesus Christ] for the unjust [You and I]. “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8). Here is the gospel of Jesus Christ; “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures; and that He was seen of Cephas [Peter], then of the twelve: After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep [are with Christ]. After that, He was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10). “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). BE SAVED TODAY.
