A life changing place to meet and greet and discuss life's issues.....and hopefully help someone get closer to the Lord..... "We must not imagine that the coming of Christ has freed us from the authority of the law; for it is the eternal rule of a devout and holy life, and must, therefore, be as unchangeable as the justice of God"

AM I READY FOR WHEN THE LORD RETURNS ?
Everyone in the world is expecting somthing dramatic to happen soon; just what it is alot of people don't have a clue. And those who know, seem to thing that there is time still. The enemy have many of God's people caught up in the affairs of this world by blinding many and lolling others to sleep. It as though we have forgotten the admonition of John.....15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
All that we are and going to be depend on where we stand now and where and whom we want to follow. "God sent His Son not to condemn the world but that the through Him Might be saved."
After reading Ezekiel 9, I know for sure that God wants to save man from sin, but there is a time when He will have to put an end to this ill that is destroying our world; how soon will this be and who will be destroyed you ask. The answer is all over the Bible. Ezekiel gives warning to the house of God and all shooould take note....bless!!!
Ezekiel 9
1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.1 2 3
3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which [had] the writer's inkhorn by his side;
4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.4
5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:5
6 Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which [were] before the house.6
7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.7 8
10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.
11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.9
