The prophet Elisha was travelling to the city of Bethel and he was confronted by young
toughs who begin making fun of him saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” He stopped and looked at them and pronounced a curse in the name of the Lord. At that moment, two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them. The prophet continued his trip to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria. 2 Kings 2:23-25 The lesson from this is to respect your elders. To young people out there, don't get involved in gangs. The only thing that gangs do is caused severe consequences by doing wrong. Proverbs 1.10-18. Proverbs 24.8. Young people, stay home, do your homework, honor your parents, honor the older people and you will live long on the earth. Leviticus 19.32. 1 Timothy 5.1-3. Ephesians 6.1-3

During tax season it becomes very easy for those who prepare tax returns to be saturated
with lots of personal information from clients. Temptation to commit ID fraud can arise if those who handle the returns aren’t ethical. As with bank tellers to be around money and not be tempted to take some of it, will require devout resolve. The bible teaches, not to steal, the bible teaches not to covet, the bible teaches that God sees everything. Eph 4.28. Heb 13.5. Heb 4.13. And since that is the truth of the matter, men must refuse to steal someone identify. With all the trouble this world has, ethical people must make it better by reducing identify theft. Can we get a witness on this? This is the year 2024 and it is very apparent that men don’t know the Lord.
The basic like the Bible and understanding it to be the word of God; man doesn’t know. The invitation of the faithful telling people who are not Christians that they need to accept Jesus Christ; man does not know. What does this mean for mankind? it means a burning Hell for the majority of humans Matt 7.13-14. We have a choice we can either acknowledge the Lord while alive or we can wait till after death. On the Judgement Day we shall stand before the Great Throne to be judged by the works we have done. Romans 14.11-12. If we wait till death to acknowledge Him, it will be too late. John 8.21. The wise thing is to acknowledge Him now, because there is no way man is going to escape death or the Judgement Day. Hebrew 9.27. Acts 8.4, Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word.
As you can see, this website is full of material dealing with religious things. We hope you spend time reading the material and listening to audio. A time of accountability is coming. A person will either die the physical death or the trumpet will blow, and God will gather everybody before his throne to be judged. Men will meet their Maker and He will not want to know who won the World Series. The Maker will want to know if His creation has followed His word. You are going to be judged by the things that are written in the Bible. As you see in the scripture we have introduced, the early Christians went everywhere preaching the word. We are doing the same by offering a chance to learn about the Bible, and we hope that you will do so by studying the material that we have posted on this site. If you believe we teach the truth. We hope you will contact us so that we can help you prepare to meet your God. Religious division is something most don’t want to talk about; but it is fact that people are divided on things concerning God. Man isn’t divided because the bible is the problem; the bible is the word of Almighty God and nothing in this great book comes up short. Isa 55:11. Jer 23:29. 1 Pt 1:23-25. Heb 4:12. 1 Cor 14.33
Division exists because of men and it will continue as long as men act the way they do. 1 Cor 1:10. 2 Cor 13:11. 1 Tim 1:3-4. 1 Tim 6:3-5. Mk 7:7. But all the differences in churches and religious practices can be made right if proper procedure is put into action. I’m not talking about so-called unity forums where everyone comes together and agrees on some point then leave still being members of different churches. I’m talking about men forsaking their creed books, their thoughts and what others have told them and just follow the bible. If men will do so man made doctrine will disappear. Someone will have to admit being wrong and that isn’t a bad thing; it is the beginning for walking in truth. When looking around certain areas you will see neighborhoods covered with trash, abandon
cars, mattresses, stoves, furniture, boxes, garbage, paper, etc. This trash didn’t just fall from the sky; it was placed there by people. I ‘m talking about people who have no sense of pride, decency, respect for others or the laws which prohibit dumping. These are people to whom laws mean nothing. They are like animals, caring about nothing but their own agenda. And if that agenda is served by having their dog leave waste in front of your house; so be it. Pro 2:12-15. Attitudes like this is no way for humans to live. Man must answer to God; so why go before Him with a resume of evil works? 2 Cor 5:10. Man must learn what laws he is obligated to and obey those laws. 1 Peter 2:13-17. Man needs to start showing respect by doing whatever he can not to offend or endanger others. Pro 3:29. We must make people better by our encounters with them. The man said, come visit me because every time you do so, you are coming to my funeral.
He further stated, I don't want flowers when I'm dead, I don't want people crying over me when I'm dead. I don't want people gathering somewhere in a cafeteria having a dinner in my honor. I want people to take me out to eat and honor me right now. I want people to buy gifts for me now. Feel sorry and cry with me now as I battle the hardships of life. I don’t want people to come and view my dead body in a coffin. I want people to visit with me and look me in the face while I’m alive. I don't want a person in a church talking all kinds of things that aren't true about me. I want people to praise me now and have long conversations with me while I'm alive. Because being in a church saying things about a deceased person which no one can verify, does no good. Yes, my funeral is right now while I'm alive and everyone who comes to see me,calls me on the phone and continues other kinds of regular contact with me is coming to my funeral as they do those things. So when I die, don’t concern yourselves with a funeral parlor, just put me in the ground. I cannot say this writer doesn’t have a point; because he does. Love and honor people while they can know and see it. Rom 12.9-18. (James Baker minister of the mt airy church of Christ) Not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another
and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10.25 This verse is the reason that you often see the faithful going to church. Depending on the schedule, you may see them going every Sunday and midweek bible classes along with other gatherings that might be on the church calendar. They believe the bible and they want to make sure they support the work of the local church. They might be your neighbors, coworkers, friends, etc. If you don’t attend church at all or do so sparely, I would like you to consider what the bible teaches in Hebrews 10.25. I suppose there are things you do regularly because everybody has something that they do. But without naming all the things which people may do, let us just say that people do what they do because they believe in it. A person walking through a cemetery came upon a headstone with the following inscription.
Remember friend as you pass by. As you are now, so once was I. And as I am now, you soon shall be, so prepare to die and follow me. That person left and returned with a black crayon and added these words on the tombstone. To follow you I'm not content, until I know which way you went. Beloved do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God. 3rd John 11 As you see, heaven or hell awaits men. If you follow, make sure your leader is taking you to the right place. Matt 15:13. Thumbs up to the quick-thinking person who read the headstone. |
