Creation and Consequences

Yesterday I talked a little about the Creation of everything. This morning I read the following in the Apostle Peter's second letter. Look at what he says. 

2 Peter 3:3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.

Is this exactly what we hear today or what? I mean, it is a brief overview of the philosophy of our day. Yesterday, I spoke of wise fools; those supposed scientists who show their ignorance by expounding on gigantic holes. 

Peter said that these are willfully ignorant. They are like Fouchie, who think themselves the rulers of the universe, when in reality, they are ignorant of God's grace and ownership. 

Peter never had a science class in his life, but he explained in a tiny space what is going on today. He spoke of the Creation and the eventual destruction of the world by water and fire. 

One thing that I count on is that the the Bible is God's word. I am a simple person. Most would agree to this fact. It is not because I personally believe in the Bible as God's Word, that it is God's Word. I am not so presumptuous. The Bible testifies to its own authority and has proven to be that eternity word of God. So, when a simple person puts simple trust in something eternal, it is actually a wise choice. 

So here is my simple version of what is going on in the world today. We are fulfilling Bible prophecy and headed toward Christ's return. The last destruction will be even more devastating than the Noeic flood that killed all but eight people. The last destruction will kill everybody! None will survive. 

After that the judgment will come. All will be judged according to the deeds done in the body. Those who boasted in their great understanding of supposed science, will enter that black hole that burns with first and brimstone and belches eternal smoke. That smoke will be an everlasting reminder of their rebellion and God's salvation. 

Watch and see if my simple understanding doesn't happen. Check your theology before that day comes, because after it does, the black hole will be your abode.

What Are You Worth?

What are you Worth?  Have you ever thought about what you are worth? In investing circles there is a term used to gauge this exact question, it's called Net Worth. You take all of your assets, like property owned, funds in your bank account, clothes, jewelry, car, etc.. You total all of these things. You then take everything you owe, like mortgage, car loan, and credit card debt, and you subtract these items from the first total. This gives you your net worth. That number represents where you are financially. Most people never stop to think about this number because they don't understand anything about it. They never have two nickels to rub together. They live from hand to mouth and know (or at least believe) nothing will ever change so, they fall into the "daily grind" mentality. Psalm 49 should be a great encouragement to such as these. The sons of Korah write about them. These sons write about all of us. They call all people everywhere to listen to their wisdom. Bo...

Grazi and Cris Are Getting Baptized!

Graziele / Cris Grazilele (hard to pronounce if you are not a Brazilian) and Cris are getting baptized on Saturday night. Baptism is a big step of faith and these young ladies are ready. Grazi accepted the Lord several years ago when Company C was in it's infancy. She was invited to club by a friend, who has since left, and not long afterwards she opened her heart to the Savior. She is a determined twelve going on twenty year old. When Grazi sets her mind on a task she usually gets it done. Dawn has been teaching her Bible lessons and sewing skills recently and she's noted Grazi's abilities. Grazi plays the recorder in o ur orchestra. Cris is Alexandre's youngest sister. She accepted Christ when her older sister Dani shared her own personal decision a few years back. Cris always has a smile on her face and is a ready helper too. She is quiet but gifted. She is learning to play the violin and is also a part of our growing orchestra. Both of these gi...

God Made Clothes

And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. Gen 3:21 I have always heard the following explanation of this verse.  Because Adam and Eve had sinned, they died spiritually. They also lost the right to be in the Garden of Eden and were cursed in other ways. For example, they had made clothes out of fig leaves, but God sacrificed a lamb; thus, God shed blood and made clothes. This sacrifice of an innocent lamb symbolized what Jesus Christ would do in the distant future.  Is this what you have heard? I don't know; it seems like this interpretation is stretching what Moses wrote in the above text. The text says that  God made clothes for Adam and his wife from skins.  We see no blood, we don't know what kind of skins, nor can I imagine God making an animal sacrifice. Did God have to skin animals to make these clothes? Or could he have just made them like he had everything else in the universe just a little while earlier?  To th...
