Friday's Mad Mad World!

Greetings Precious Saints!  And Happy Good Friday to you!. (Although, I believe Jesus was crucified earlier in the week)  I thought about not doing a Good Friday post, but I know you all are anxious for the news of the week. I was called out by a friend this past week for putting out too much depressing news and not focusing more on all the good the Lord is doing in this world. Yes, the Lord is doing marvelous things across the globe, and many are getting saved and healed and restored! Praise His name!  Yet, this is not what my Friday Posts are for.  My intent is to connect world news with prophecy in the Bible so that we can all see how close we are to going home! My intent is NOT to depress anyone, but rather to encourage you all that our time here is short and soon we will be with our Savior!  If that doesn't get you excited, nothing will!

My other motivation is to inspire lukewarm Christians to get serous about their walk with the Lord, and also to perhaps save someone who happens across this post and sees that there is, indeed, a God who told us what would happen in this world long before it came to pass. No, I don't present the Gospel every time, but a quick search of my website will produce many articles on how to have a relationship with Jesus.

All of us have an individual calling from God. Some are helpers, encouragers, evangelists, pastors, teachers, prophets, miracle-workers...etc. God may call someone to be a housewife and mother and raise Godly children, while someone else may be sent into the workplace to witness there to their coworkers. Other persons may be called to the mission field, children's ministry, or helping out in their local church. I have been called to write novels that glorify God and to warn God's children that Jesus is returning soon. I make no apology for trying to fulfill that calling. I'm human and I may not always succeed in the best way possible, but my heart is in the right place... and that is to lift up the name of Jesus at all times.

Having said that, Praise Jesus, for His HUGE sacrifice for us. I don't think any of us can ever grasp the agony of what He went through... not merely physical, though they say that was more painful than what any man suffered. But spiritual and emotional too. Jesus had never ever been separated from His Father, yet while all OUR sin was placed on Him, Father God had to turn His face away. Not only that, but I've heard multiple pastors agree that Jesus then went down to Sheol where he suffered the punishment due us. All I can say is THANK YOU, Jesus, I love you with all my heart! And I look forward to seeing you soon!
