The Angst of Waiting

-

 Have you ever been so pent up with expectation and angst that you feel you are going to burst? Jesus said in this world you will have trouble but be of good cheer you have overcome the world. Indeed the troubles of this world makes me long for my full adoption as a son of God!

As I see the rapture of the church getting closer every day, my groaning within can seem unbearable!!


Romans 8. I see the evil around me getting worse. I see more and more people deceived and burying their heads in the sand. I see people willing to give up their freedoms and stab their own family in the back to get ahead and fit in with the world. 

Every since Covid hit, Ive been feeling an angst like Ive never experienced before. I long to be with Christ, but I feel a warrior spirit rising up in me at the same time. I want to fight! I want to fight the good fight of faith! I want to combat the lies, the deceptions, the ism’s of the day! I want to wake people up and bring others to Christ! Jesus said work while it is day, a time is coming when no man can work. 

In Ephesians it tells us to redeem the time for the days are evil. We are living in the days when Christ is going to come back for His bride any day now! Prophecy is going to be fulfilled! We are sons of the day and will not be surprised when the thief comes.

The world will experience turmoil, evil, and deception until the second coming. But for the born-again believer in Christ, we have hope in the rescue plan. So despite what some people even in the Christian community are saying, Christ will come back and snatch his bride away! 

This angst I believe, is the Lord stirring in me to move me to action! The Bible says our labor in the Lord is not in vain! So with this increasing angst I will continue to abound in the work of the Lord! I can stand with the apostle Paul who said, to depart and be with Christ is far better, but if I remain in the body it means more fruit!

Jesus said the harvest is plenty but the laborers a few! Let’s get busy while we still have time!

Are There Any Errors in the Bible?

-
By Norman L. Geisler The Bible cannot err, since it is God's Word, and God cannot err. This does not mean there are no difficulties in the Bible. But the difficulties are not due to God's perfect revelation, but to our imperfect understanding of it. The history of Bible criticism reveals that the Bible has no errors, but the critics do. Most problems fall into one of the following categories.   Check the rest out at: http://www.4truth.net/fourtruthpbbible.aspx?pageid=8589952771

Does Hell Exist, if so Why?

Questions and Objections About Hell 1. "A God of love would never send anybody to Hell." I find it very interesting that so many people are confident that God is so loving. Where does mankind get the idea that God loves the whole world, including sinners? –The Buddhist scriptures, the Tripitaka ? No. It's not taught there. –The Hindu Vedas ? No. No loving God there. –The Qur'an ? Nope. Allah loves everyone except sinners. The idea that God is a loving, merciful, forgiving God comes from the Bible. It is the Bible alone, amongst these books, that presents God as gracious, loving, merciful and forgiving of sinners. People get their idea that God is loving from the very same book that teaches us about Hell! The problem though is that people want to treat the Bible like a salad bar. “Oh yeah, I’ll have a little bit of that, a scoop of that. Oh, I don’t like that. Ewww, none of that.” They do that with God! "Yeah, I’ll take some of the love. I’ll pass on the...

Creator, Cosmos, and Human Destiny

Why are we here? And where are we going? Does science have an answer to these two most fundamental questions of human existence? Can mankind determine and direct the future of life on earth purely by scientific means?    This excuse-shattering exposé of Darwin and Dawkins is the Dave Hunt magnum opus you’ve been waiting (and praying) for! Each of Dave’s seminal works—whether on occultism, Catholicism, Calvinism, ecumenism, Islam, or cosmic evolution, have all been, at the time of their publication, his “most important work to date”—and this 608-page refutation of Darwinian evolution (as championed by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and today’s aggressive “New Atheists”) is no exception.
