\n

Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
\nWhoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
\nkeep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.
\nTurn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.”
\nPsalms 34:11-14<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Have you noticed how unruly and ungodly our own culture, society, world, etc., have become?\u00a0 It is slowly degrading everyday.\u00a0 It makes me wonder what kind of world my grandchildren (if my kids decide to have kids) will see.\u00a0 Faith is being attacked from every angle.\u00a0 God and Jesus are being taken from the public eye while other faiths can keep themselves out in public view.<\/p>\n

Yet, if you look around, there are still plenty of people who fear the Lord.\u00a0 The Lord will teach those who are getting rid of Him that they should fear Him.\u00a0 The final punishment will be one that they probably can\u2019t even imagine because they have not been taught how to fear the Lord. The Lord is perfect.\u00a0 And the Lord is jealous…as the Israelites found out many times before.<\/p>\n

The Israelites turned from God many times.\u00a0 They ended up in slavery in Egypt. \u00a0Cities were destroyed because they became intertwined within the cultures that had accepted the Israelites into theirs.\u00a0 Sodom and Gomorrah paid the ultimate price\u2014complete destruction.\u00a0 If we continue on the path we are on today then our culture, society, world, etc., is looking at its own destruction from God\u2019s power soon.\u00a0 Jesus will return for God\u2019s children, and the end will come.<\/p>\n

For those of us who fear the Lord and accept His blessings and teachings, the end will be great.\u00a0\u00a0 We will see many good days<\/em> here on Earth, but we will see an eternity of good days<\/em> in Heaven.\u00a0\u00a0 God\u2019s children\u2019s lives are immortal if they have accepted the one true Savior, Jesus Christ.\u00a0 Just think about these verses:<\/p>\n

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
\nNo one comes to the Father except through me.
\nJohn 14:6<\/p>\n

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord
\nand believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
\nRomans 10:9<\/p>\n

By accepting the Lord, by fearing the Lord, and receiving blessings from the Lord, we will have many good days here on Earth and<\/i><\/b><\/i> in Heaven.\u00a0 We must turn from evil to good and seek God.\u00a0 If the rest of the world would do this then maybe there would not be so much disaster and heartache in our world today.\u00a0 Maybe our children would get the examples they need instead of the ones they don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n

* * * * *<\/p>\n

Dear Lord, we thank You for our earthly days.\u00a0 We look forward to the days we will spend with You in eternity.\u00a0 We believe that Jesus died for all here on earth.\u00a0 We pray that this message of love and sacrifice reaches everyone.\u00a0 In Jesus\u2019 name.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
