Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Inspiring Bible Scriptures On Life

By Jennie Sandoval


Life on earth is governed by a supernatural being called God. God is the initiator of life and the one who controls it so His way of living must be imbibed by all who want to please Him. God's standards are found in Bible scriptures on Life and they must be read on daily basis if you want them to make great impact in you. Many of them are found in both the Old and the New Testaments.

Jeremiah 29:11 is a word of encouragement to those who feel like quitting from the Christian faith because of different kinds of troubles. The verse is saying do not quit because he cares about your welfare. God is faithful and He will never let His children to be afraid.

Christians should depend fully on God. This is summarized in Romans 12:2. The world has its own ways and they are different from the ways of God. The ways of this world are given by the devil while the ways of God are founded by God Himself and they can be found in the Bible.

All things work together for the good of anyone who is truly a child of God. This is what God is letting everyone know in Romans 8:28. He is the God of Heaven and earth and there is no power greater than His. Sometimes these promises do not seem to be forthcoming but even in tough times, just know that God is there by your side.

The importance of salt and light cannot be overemphasized. While salt makes food edible, light is necessary for one to know the right direction. Similarly, Christians are meant to add value to people's lives by being salt in this world. Also, they are meant to instruct and guide people in the right direction. Since light cannot be hidden under a bushel, God's children are not expected to shy away from this responsibility.

According to Matthew 6:33, those who are alive should first seek God's kingdom and be eager to do the things He likes. The second part of the verse indicates that His blessings are automatic for anyone who is born again and interested in pleasing Him. The idea in this verse is similar to what is contained in Job 22:21.

Bible verses on life also give inspiration to those who think they are not important before God. The Bible in Jeremiah 1:5 says that God knew man right from the time he was conceived in his mother's womb. Of course, this also applies to women. He therefore expects you to be calm and rely on His intelligence in making you the best you can be.

Man should rely on God for all the conveniences he needs. This is the message in Matthew 6:25. This verse is only one out of the numerous bible scriptures on life that instruct man to depend on God for everything. Remember the account of the rich fool in the Bible who died because He thought he could do without God's support. He is the one who clothes the flowers and feeds the pigeons. He is willing to do even more of these things for you.

Analysis Of The Latest Bible Prophecy News In The World Today

By Mona Moody


The bible is full of prophecy regarding the end time church. This is mainly found in the books of revelation and the major prophets. In this day and age, there are many variations of interpretations but the bottom line remains that the end times are here. The latest bible prophecy news in the US for example, are indications of a falling world and a warning to all believers and non-believers alike.

One good illustration of this fact is the willingness of Arabic nations to favor Israel in border disputes. This is a most unexpected idealism since Arabs are historically the enemies of Israel. This kind of situation has been seen as a move to unite the world ahead of the Antichrist.

Israel disputed regions are now safe for anybody willing to pass through. The US, Turkey, Palestine and the nation of Israel have found a cordial working relationship. This has led to the undisturbed nuclear operations in Iran contrary to an earlier statement issued by the US.

The pope is also set to visit Israel shortly and receive briefings from the Jewish Rabbi. This tie will be seen by critics as a strategic move to strengthen the influence of Vatican City to the east. Further, this move will be seen in scripture as prophesied, that there will be unity of all peoples at the end of the times.

The most horrifying law that has been passed from the legislature allows trading of morning after pills to teenagers. The teenagers will be allowed to buy the drugs from any store with no special permission or medical prescription. This is gross considering the age bar has been placed at fifteen years. The government has in an indirect way enforced law that promotes perversion and irresponsible sex to young mind, as predicted in scripture.

It is shocking to note that scientists have announced the most deadly disease is not HIV anymore. The most deadly disease will be a new variety of gonorrhea that will kill even more people. Scripture talks of diseases and pestilences on the last days, which is what we are seeing in news briefings.

The recent surge of wars and disastrous activity is also a fulfillment of prophecy. The disastrous effects of war are mentioned in scripture as wars and misunderstandings of the end times. Nations are rising against nations. However this is deftly covered by plastic intentions to promote peace in affected regions. For example the bomb that US has released to Syria has made catastrophic ends on the chain of misunderstanding.

In conclusion, we can see the days are perilous. It is a sharp reflection of things that the bible warns from the scripture. Indeed, the latest bible prophecy news are real happenings in the world today, and a stern warning to Christians to prepare for Christ's coming. Every christian should be alert about the age we are in and live as the wise.

Too Much Prophecy In The News Today

By Mona Moody


Anyone reading the magazines can easily see that there is so much prophecy in the news today. Every individual claims to have the ability to tell what is going to happen around the world. Unfortunately many of these predictions are false and they lead to unnecessary chaos. Human beings continue to follow any psychic when it comes to what will happen with the future.

The problems around the Middle East continue to be a major issue for American citizens since they are tired of helping out other countries. Every politician has already added their comments to this crisis but towards the end they really have no solutions for all of this turmoil.

Many of the leaders in these countries do not want peace with anyone and they would rather see their own people suffer. They do not believe in harmony of any type since American citizens do not share their religious or cultural beliefs. The people living in these places may in fact give up their lives to satisfy the great Gods. It is very unsafe to travel to certain places due to these suicide bombers.

Hell has indeed invaded this planet which makes people very skeptical about a bright future for their young children. This is when individuals will seek out their pastors and other church members who will give them psychic readings. People will get caught up in all of these false predictions that the leaders will make. The ministers will gather together huge audiences who will become entranced in their sermons.

One man of the cloth claimed that President Barack Obama was indeed the Antichrist and that he would take the human race in the wrong direction. This claim has been made about several other United States Presidents and people who are smart will usually ignore the negative statements. Other people who claim to have insight will also make the same allegations that have no real proof.

Many pastors believe that the young people in society will take over the world in a unique army style. Hollywood has made several movies based upon this prediction and it seems that people really believe the cinema. Many states in America will have children giving the orders to very timid adults. Some of the older people will live out their lives in camps very similar to the ones Nazis had. If the grown ups got out of hand the children would have no problem in killing them.

The psychics have also predicted that women will be forced to become prostitutes because of global warming. This is a very strange prediction but many individuals believe it to be true. Women have often turned to the sex trade when things were rough but this future event is truly hard for people to actually believe.

One very frightening prophecy in the news today states that many people who suffer from alzheimers disease and dementia will have tracking devices implanted in their brain. This will help government officials identify individuals who cannot be productive in todays society. In reality this particular prediction will more than likely happen since the economy relies on strong workers who are able to keep things going.

The Reason As To Why God Created Us In His Image

By Wanda Vaughn


Creation of the earth and heaven started on the first day of the week. God the father son and holly spirit took six days for creation and rested on the Sabbath. Human beings were created on the sixth day. God created us in his image and likeness. Man was made better than all the other creatures and was given the mandate to take care and rule all other creatures.

It is written in the bible that we serve a living God. This explains more why god says he created us in his own image. Both human beings and god are living. Although God is a spirit, humans are related to Him since we are both living. Man was also created to be able to differentiate good and bad. It is a similarity since God also has that intelligence.

Human beings were asked by God to continue with the creation process. They conceive and give birth to other beings. God created only two people and asked them to go and multiply. They also use their brains and energy looking for food. God made man in a way that they are able to work and toil for them to eat.

Communication is tremendously important in our lives. God enables man to communicate to each other and also to him. Man is able to talk to their lord through prayers and songs. They thank God for the far they are. They also sing songs with different meanings to him. God appears to his people in dreams and other different ways.

Creation on the sixth day was special and different from the rest. It involved the Holy Spirit and God. God said it is nice to create human forms in his own likeness. They were then created from dust. He breathed life to their nostrils. This breath is extremely important and special. He then ordered that he will be the only one able to give life to people.

God is believed to be in the form of three, God the father son and Holy Spirit. They form a trinity. This makes them work in unity and love. They involve each other in one way or another. Human beings were made in His image in a different way. The human body consists of the soul and body. These two have to work in unity just as God the trinity does.

God saw it is agreeable to form and create the human body as it is. He made human beings from dust and made them to his best. This demonstrates love. God will come in the form of a human being on earth. When he sent His only son to come and save mankind He came as a human being.

Creation was extremely beneficial and noteworthy. God worked for six days. Human beings are also asked to work and remember to worship god. It is so amazing that God created us in his image, but man does sin. Although we are sinners we should remember always to try and do what is right.

A Brief Look Into Jesus Genealogy

By Adela Beasley


The Bible has two records of Jesus genealogy. They can be found in the Gospel of Luke chapter three and Matthew chapter one. However, these two gospels have some variations. According to Matthew, it traces the ancestry of Christ from Abraham. It then follows to Solomon, the son of King David through Jeconiah and lastly to Joseph, the father of Jesus.

According to the gospel of Luke, Adam is the first member of the lineage of Jesus. He was the first man on earth. Other members that followed after Adam were Solomon, the son of King David, Nathan and Joseph. Regardless of various discrepancies present, they have some common similarities. For instance, the issue of virgin birth arises. Mary was a virgin when she became pregnant. Another similarity is that the Holy Spirit begot the Messiah. As a matter of fact, the biological father of the Messiah was not Joseph.

Here is a breakdown of some of the differences. First of all, there is a gap of about 76 generations between the generation of Jesus and Adam. There is a difference of 46 gaps from Abraham up to Christ according to the records of Matthew.

Aside from that, Luke gives the life history of the Messiah in an unusual manner. It begins with the story of Christ and then gives the history before Christ. Matthew gives a chronological order of events based on all the events that transpired.

One issue that stands out in both accounts is that of Shealtiel and Zerubbabel. These are the only names that appear in both accounts after David. Both Luke and Matthew offer a different list of descendants but only these two appear in both accounts.

Several explanations have been offered to justify the differences between the two accounts. One of the explanations may be based on the Levirate marriage traditions. The Gospel according to Luke claims that the grandparents may have married the same women. This therefore means that Joseph had two fathers. Jacob was the biological father and the legal father was Heli. Luke may have focused on the legal lineage while Matthew emphasizes on biological and primary lineage of the Messiah.

Another theory proposes that Heli and Jacob are actually the same. However, this theory has been opposed by historians and theologians. There is another theory that the genealogy of Luke is that of Mary, the mother of the Messiah while Matthew follows the one of Joseph. These are only but a few theories that come out to explain the differences between the two gospels.

Jesus genealogy, as per Luke claims that the role of Christ was to be the Messiah of Jews. A lot of verses in the book point to Christ as a Messiah of all people. In addition, it can be compared to what happened during the era of Abraham. According to Matthew, Christ is seen as a savior to humankind. Several verses have shown and explained how Christ was a perfect friend to the people. This has some relationship with what happened with Adam.
