Our Country needs a "Come to Jesus" week ~ month ~ year ~ Revival!! There are 32 souls in eternity that last Saturday morning never dreamed anything would happen to them. Congress can pass laws until their arms fall off, and ban everything, but the evil in people's hearts
Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it”?
~ The ONLY answer is Jesus Christ!
In the last few decades, Christianity has been ridiculed, mocked, treated as insignificant and obsolete! We have taken the Ten Commandments (where it says "Thou Shall Not Murder" out of public view.
We have banned prayer, or the mention of Jesus in our schools, and we have shelved (even professing Christians) The Holy Bible; which teaches us how to live and defines good and evil. It tells us "God is Love" but it also says He is a "Just God", who will someday judge everyone for their actions in this life.
It teaches there is a Heaven and a Hell (a terrible place of pain and torment ~ that lasts Forever!!).
I'm afraid the younger generations have been taught to not believe these things, so we're experiencing "Hell on earth"!! Fewer young couples attend church, never mind bringing their children to hear Bible stories and learn Biblical principals. The Bible says: Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. We only need to “fear” (respect) Him if we do
wrong, because He is a “just God” and we will answer to Him. It seems so many today “despise wisdom and instruction”! Growing up, we were taught these principles, and believed them. We seriously considered the “consequences” before doing something we knew was evil. Today, I’m afraid there is no “deterrent”, but encouragement from TV shows, movies, video games etc. There are very few that do not include gun violence. Young people are totally desensitized from seeing people killed. Are you beginning to see where the real problem lies??
I'm begging you to "Come to Jesus" right now. You don't know if you'll be alive or in eternity twenty-four hours from now. Ask Jesus to forgive you for the things you have done wrong in your life. Ask Him to be the "Lord" (boss) of your life. Read the Bible to learn how He wants you to live. Teach your children the truth which only comes from the Bible! God Loves every human being and doesn't want anyone to go to Hell; but He made us so we could make our own choices (and as a result, reap the consequences)!
Jesus (the Son of God) came to earth, lived a perfect life; died at the age of 33 (nailed and crucified) on a cross as a sacrifice for all the things you and I have done wrong in our lives. He rose from the dead three days later, and forty days after that He ascended into Heaven, but He promised to return. That is the "Gospel" ~ believe it and confess that you do and you will be forgiven! Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven.
COME TO JESUS, TODAY!!!
