Exloring Life Eternal

Last night, two men were brought to the house. Neither currently had a job. Neither had a house or family to take them in. I called some folks. Though we did have one room that was available, at least temporarily ... it was decided by the powers that be that it would not be available. These men admitted to having sinned. They knew that they were not perfect, but they were humans. They had been brought by a fellow Christian. I had to tell them that we could not host them at the house. It was predicted to be below freezing, it was wet and windy.

Never in my whole life have I felt such a pain of soul.

I wept as I had to tell these men that we would not be able to shelter them. We prayed & cried out to God, trusting that He would be their shelter.

After discussing things over with Sheila, we decided that I should direct them to someplace where they could get out of the wind. I got some cushions, some blankets, and some food for them from the storehouse.

God had provided for these little things in some special way. I met the men at the appointed place underneath some steps.

Just about the time we had set up something of a place for them, the fellow who had brought them to the house, came up to this place & announced that God had provided a warmer coat, a place in a hotel for the night, and a possibility of longer term care via the church.
.....

For a while, perhaps a good 15-30 minutes though, my soul was in torment. I felt as though I clearly heard the words of Jesus deep within my heart: "As you have done unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me. ... I came to you hungry & you did not feed me. I came to you a stranger, and you did not welcome me. ... Depart into the outer darkness which was prepared for the devil & his angels."

If you do not know the reality of hell: that there will be everlasting, conscious torment for those who refuse to love the Lord, to love their neighbor, and to leave behind all sin ... then you will not know the fear of God that came over me. Oh, I fear for this town. How long will the Lord stay His wrath? How long?

Kyrie, eleison!

This is the sort of silliness humans will engage in when they are searching for some sort of sign:

Air traveller believes he sees "Allah" written in the clouds in Arabic.

A Texas man he saw this image in his frying pan while he was cooking breakfast for his mother.

A farmer sees "Allah" in Arabic script in a tomato when it was sliced open.

A Sufi mystic claims to see a picture of: Jesus, Mary, some sort of Hindu non-sense, ... and even himself in the black stone which is embedded in the kaaba in Mecca.

Someone pays $28,000 for a grilled cheese sandwich auctioned on ebay.com because it appeared to some to have an image of Mary.

A star-gazer believes he sees "Allah" in Arabic in a place on the moon on some auspicious night.

A bunch of God's chosen people take off some jewelry, toss the gold into a fire and a golden calf "just happens" to come out of the fire!

A carpet stain seems to look like "Allah" (aha, you already knew it, yep, in Arabic) where a bucket which was filled with water was when the bucket is picked up off the floor.

Former famed singer, "Elvis," is seen in such things as potato chips, wood-grain, and other natural formations, not to mention the many appearances he makes in uniform.

Homeopathic remedies with virtually nothing other than sugar & water are ascribed with miraculous healing power.

Once again "Allah" shows up on the side of a goat in a birth mark.

...

Signs: They can direct to something true, merely distract temporarily, or actually be idols.

...

There's some in this world who are looking for the perfect philosophy.
Others are looking for a perfect sign.
The only sign Jesus gave was the sign of His cruel death & wonderful resurrection.
The only philosophy He offered was the love of truth & the true love.

May we also be marked with those.

The above reminds me of how far much of "Evangelicalism" has drifted from the true nature of the gospel. May God cast out laborers & cast down the proud.

Poor kids: mom & dad say don't eat what is served ... so they are either forced to suffer or throw away perfectly good food. Oh, that grace would be known!!

The site looks like it is an advocate for Islam as the answer for modern man. Ironically, the main webpage reveals a desert with a moon, a pretty bleak site: the caption: Islam: the modern religion. IF that is the goal of modernity, I want nothing of it. I want life, full life, in the light.
