In an on-line world of VPNs, private chat-rooms and encrypted messages, many think that surfing the web in 'Igcognito Mode' is a private way to look at what we don’t want others to know about. That may work in principle — but not in practice.

As the words of Jesus says in today’s scripture, nothing is hidden from God. Not only is it seen, instead Revelation 20 verses 11 & 12 says:

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it,
From whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;
and the books [of 'incognito'] were opened:
and another book was opened, which is the BOOK OF LIFE:
and the dead were judged out of those things
which were written in the books, according to their works.”

Friend, NOTHING is hid before the Almighty! Do not fool yourself! All people who have done sinful things in 'secret' will become known and presented before God at the Great White Throne of Judgement EXCEPT for those whose names are written in the Book Of Life.

...but the good news of the Gospel is simply this:

All those who honor God, repent and turn from their sin and confess Christ as LORD have their names written in THE BOOK OF LIFE.

So, which book is your name in?

Or do you choose to keep that Incognito?

If you saw a sign that said 'ONE WAY' and went in that direction your journey will be safe because ignoring it would be foolish resulting in injury - or even death.

Jesus also said that there was ONE WAY to eternal life, that he was that way, and that way is through His cross. Although just as clear as that road sign, instead of heading this sign to safety, as 1 Corinthians 1:18 says for some it appears instead to be FOOLISH, but like that road sign, if ignored it would also result in peril.

This 'One Way' sign of the Gospel is not God’s intent to scare anyone, but to point all that will heed it to give them safe passage from this world to the next. The Bible says that God desires that NO ONE PERISH but that ALL arrive safety in eternal life and that 'Sign Behind The Sign' of “ONE WAY” is the Cross of Christ on Calvary.

God’s loving, urgent plea is to follow Him to go in that direction, because when you do, your soul, life, and safety in eternity is assured.

Friend, will you heed this sign... or does it seem FOOLISH to you?

(It is never too late while in this life to go towards God.)

Note: If any have suffered the trauma of divorce and children are involved, this message is for you.
----------------
The most emotionally painful part of divorce is the effect it has on children. Many years ago, while my children were all very young my little daughter asked me a heartbreaking question.

“Daddy, why can’t you and mommy get back together?”

I was emotionally paralyzed for a moment not knowing what to say, but God gave me an answer far beyond my own wisdom.

I asked her, “Maria, have you ever seen a broken egg?” She nodded her head, looking curiously for an answer.

“Well, sometimes mommies and daddies are like a broken egg, and you Just Can’t Put A Broken Egg Back Together.

Relationships can become like today’s verse. They can start off well - like Saul was with the young future-king David with respect and admiration - and degrade to a point where one person is full of bitterness and trying to ruin the other.

So yes, like a broken egg, what once was may NOT be repairable. However, regardless as today’s verse exhorts, it is vital to put wrathful feelings behind. Just as God has forgiven our debts of sin towards him, as the Lord’s prayer says: “...as we forgive our debtors.” (Matthew 6:12)

Friend, reconciliation may not be possible, but forgiveness is something we all must do to be truly free and NOT hold All Malice.

If this is you with a relationship that you are in conflict with, will you take that step?

There is a big difference between a LIE and BEARING FALSE WITNESS.

A lie is saying something to misdirect guilt or wrongdoing, or telling a story to make you 'look good,' but when you bear false witness, the goal is to deceive others by making someone else LOOK BAD.

There’s an old saying that says “everything you want to know about life, you learned in high school” - and there is a lot of truth in that! There were always certain kids in power - the Ra-Rahs, Jocks and especially the Journalism kids who in particular praised (or neglected) certain events, people or groups, and in the gossip mill these self-same kids either validated or vilified others based on their jealousy or unapproval.

Sadly we commonly see this today where slander and mocking others that they disagree with has evolved from a sport to a calculated strategy to destroy others or alter people’s perception of times and truth.

Remember friend - God is not mocked for the Bible says:

“No one is hidden from God’s sight, but
All are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to
whom we must all one day give account.”
Hebrews 4:13

We cannot prevent others from bearing false witness, but let us always be careful to guard our words and also the thoughts of our heart, because our grace and mercy depends on it. (Jeremiah 17:1

In today’s volatile world, we never know what calamity or catastrophe might happen next. But with such uncertainty about an unpredictable future should we be frightened?

The answer is NO — and here’s why…

Jesus warns us in Matthew chapter 24 that just like the time before the great flood, people would be living life to the fullest amidst a time so full of evil that the world would have to be destroyed. All had a chance to escape into the safety of the ark — But That Time Was Limited. Then the Bible says “…the door to the ark was shut” (Genesis 7:16) and those taken away were SAVED in time, but those left behind were LOST in Borrowed Time.

The Bible says that those that enter into the safety of the ark of salvation by seeing, heeding, and redeeming these evil times will be taken up in a supernatural event called “The Rapture.” This event can and will happen at ANY TIME, and while you’re still alive, you are on Borrowed Time. However, God is gracious, merciful and compassionate toward sinners! His great gifts to humanity are Grace & Mercy, and TIME to repent, TIME to believe in Him and His Son, and TIME to make a decision to do so. While His patience is long suffering — But Be Forewarned! the time that you are now living in is BORROWED TIME.

Friend, as today’s scripture verse reminds us, God is indeed slow to anger and loving, but he won’t wait for you forever. We all have only so much time left and it is indeed borrowed time.

If you have not given your life to Jesus, please do it NOW. He is waiting on you to make the most important decision you will ever make. Your time is currently borrowed.

Don’t let your time run out.
