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?

Relevant Bible Scriptures On Life

By Shanna McNeil


Most people on earth want to live long. No wonder they try to work hard and get the best food, clothing and shelter for their support. In their quest, they often fail to acknowledge the originator of life and ask Him about His own ideas. God wants his children to study Bible scriptures on Life so that they can always know His divine plan for them.

John 3:16 explains the requirement for living forever. Of course, this is the kind that most people want. However, the only way to get this is by accepting Jesus, God's son, who was sent to die for man's sins. God gave Jesus to the world because He loved it dearly and was ready to do anything to save it from the impending doom.

The concept of eternal life from Christ Himself is found in Romans 6:23. The opposite of what it says is also found in the same verse- people who sin are on their way to eternal death. The verse emphasizes the need to live righteously and remain dead to sin.

In John 10:10, Jesus is seen as the only one that can sustain you while Satan is seen as an enemy and life destroyer. Man's responsibility is to resist everything that comes from Satan and embrace whatever Jesus offers. Satan comes with beautiful things that can destroy and steal man's divine inheritance.

God knew how challenging it would be for man to live righteously so He equipped him with the Bible for him to study day and night. One of the numerous reasons why man should be occupied in this is in Hebrews chapter four verse twelve. This verse describes God's word as active and sharp.

The origin of life in man can be found in the Old Testament. In Genesis 2:7, God formed man from the dust and breathed into his nostril so he can start living. The truth is that God who started this in man is faithful and able to continue supplying every thing man needs to live happily on earth. Unfortunately, a lot of people do not acknowledge this so they resort to dubious means of getting what they need.

Galatians 2:20 has the clue for people who want to live long. Those who follow the devil will die but those who live by the help of the Holy Spirit will live long. You must accept Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior and allow Him to control your activities, no matter how difficult they may look.

The simplest way to get this is shown in John 5:24. This verse says that hearing and believing the word are the only requirements. Gone are the days when mediators were needed and various kinds of offerings were made for sustenance. God is always there for those who fear and honor what is written in the scriptures.

The world today is full of several trials and temptations. As it draws nearer to its end, the devil is working zealously to make sure nobody gets God's ultimate package for His children. However, studying Bible scriptures on life is an effective way of being sensitive to God's promises and claiming everything He has in store for His people. God loves man and He is ready to make them comfortable even here on earth.

Prophecy In The News Today For Everyone

By Shanna McNeil


Every time a person turns on the television set they are sure to see some kind of prophecy in the news today. Millions of people really believe in these predictions that are made by modern day fortune tellers. Some of these items that they share with people are usually terrifying and this will make anyone afraid to leave the house.

If you are someone who would believe anything then this story would really grab your attention. It was predicted by the Mayan calendar some time ago that the world would end on December 21, 2012. Many people took hold of this belief and they prepared to find a way to survive. They took most of their money and purchased fabulous underground homes that no one could enter. Many of these individuals also gave away the rest of the money they had after making the purchase.

Luckily this event never happened and these same people were made to look foolish because of their belief in the world coming to an end. There was also a pastor who advised his followers to join him at a retreat in order to survive the oncoming disaster. These people also gave all of their money and valuables to others.

Some years ago there was another cult leader who advised his group to take poison because of an asteroid that would eventually impact the earth. Unfortunately they all listened to him and drank the liquid poison. The asteroid never crashed into the planet but his group of people all died from the poison.

Anyone who knows the Devil has already heard that he has a son who will inherit the earth. This of course is the world famous Antichrist who will gain power through the world of politics. In America people and mediums had stated that one of the country's Presidents was this sinister man who would do the planet harm. There was never any proof to back these accusations.

Faithful church people are eagerly awaiting the return of Christ. This is a prediction that is stated by many mediums each year. In the year 2012 desperate individuals gave away all that they had because they believed the great man was making a return. They decided to live a life of poverty in order to be closer to Christ.

The state of California was supposed to fall into the ocean decades ago according to some of the wilder predictions. People thought that one of the earthquakes would eventually swallow the state whole. This has not happened yet but individuals are still betting money on it to occur very soon.

The most unusual prophecy in the news today was predicted by a man who exhibited strange powers centuries ago. This man was Nostradamus and he stated that a duo of tall structures would fall flat. Little did anyone know that he was talking about New York City's world famous Trade Center.
