The End Time

However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"  Luke 18:8

What happen today if you take survey of young people in USA about marriage: 
Whether one should get married to be living together as husband and wife? 
Is Sex before and outside of marriage sin? 
I think most of the people will say what are you talking about? For some people will say I have heard about this, but I don't really think it is sin.

Another example: 30 years ago same sex marriage was not only unacceptable it was consider sin (and it is) but now people started accepting that and even some people think there is nothing wrong in it.

Our culture is changing and the belief about different religion and Christianity is changing too. As you can see satan is changing people’s mind so rapidly. People are saying there is no absolute truth. Look at all those political leaders acting now. Before they used to openly confess what they believe in but now they are not saying it. Why because it might hurt someone’s feeling. In today’s very liberal society you cannot find absolute truth. Bible says  there is absolute truth. Jesus says: I am the truth. John 14:6

There are so many things happening right now around the world like earthquakes, flooding, missing people, volcano eruptions and tornadoes. Those are natural things. And look at what is happening at the political level. Russia is getting stronger, Israel is losing ground against hamas, and China’s economy is going down. Political power in any of the European countries are all short terms. Among all France is gaining some ground. North Korea is threatening everyone with its missiles. 
In the past people used to get scared about knowing all these kind of news. But now they are all busy with their own stuff. We have news in our hand 24 X 7 but the effectiveness of the news is gone. 
Have you ever wonder is there any future effect of the global changes? Are all this political power shift make any sense? Why all of a sudden increase in the natural disasters?

Bible says keep your eyes and ears open, Analyze what you see and hear with the word of God. Mark 13:24-27 says: " But in those days, following that distress" ' the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; The stars will fall from the sky and the heavenly bodies will shaken"
Is going to happen, and people will see it. Most importantly keep your faith in one and only true God. 

Bible says Jesus is the only way and truth and life. Come to Him and LIVE.

Royal Priesthood

I Peter 2:5, 9-10

You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

We are Royal Priesthood yes it is a wonderful thing and we should be proud of that. We can walk with pride because we are Christians- God’s chosen people.

But at the same time we have a responsibility. We cannot just sit down and do nothing. We have big responsibility. We are Christians- chosen people and so we have to live like Jesus has told us to live. – Forgive one another, love one another, tell everybody about the Goodnews. Different  issues like abortion and gay marriage are the by product. Our lifestyle should be an example to others. Christians should be recognized by their works. Today people know us because of “the issues” rather than our loving and caring nature. In verse 5 God’s word shows us: “for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” We have to do spiritual sacrifices. We cannot escape that responsibility.

Yes we have to be proud but at the same time let us not forget the responsibility that comes with it.

May Lord show us again that we are Royal Priesthood, His chosen people so we can start live like that.

Stand Firm

When Jesus was on earth He healed many sick people, He did lot of good works, He preached, and He taught. He lived a perfect life. But He also spent good time with His disciples teaching them about the “Godly life”. He not only taught He lived. He told His disciples “If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love John 15:10, and what is His commandment? “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you” John 15:12. How He loved? He gave it all. He gave His life. That kind of love. Even in “John 14: 21 He says: Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them. He taught His disciple and He showed it to everybody. When one of the pundit of the law ask His what is the greatest commandment? His reply was every accurate. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself Matthew 22: 37-39.

In today’s world though it is completely deferent. People have murdered the real definition of the “Love” And as the apostle Paul writes: The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ. II Corinthians 4: 4. They have lost the real meaning of “Love”. They will accept everything and everybody for “Love” But they do not want to understand the “Love of God”. Even though there are so many things that God has provide that people can understand but they don’t want to listen, they don’t want to see, they don’t want to understand. They are saying: I am loving it the way it is right now. If my life goes on smoothly, I don’t care what other people are doing. Let them marry whoever they want to. Let them kill whoever they want to, let them enjoy whichever way they want to.

But I am urging you all my fellow brothers and sisters who call themselves as “Disciples of God”.  I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling Ephesians 4:1. Do not be afraid. Do not be ashamed. Do not be worried. Do not be confused. Our Lord Jesus has said: If you obey my commandment you are my friend.

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. I Peter 5:8. Again I am urging you: Live the life of “Disciples of God”

May our Almighty Lord give you strength to “Stand firm”.
