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.

Daughter and dog...

About six months ago we discovered that Ann was pregnant and were very excited for she and Jackson. We will have babies on this side and that of the Atlantic. We weren't prepared for that news and we we were even less prepared for the news that our little dog is pregnant. To date we have spent more on the dog than on Annie (don't tell her... Ann that is). Ann has yet to discover whether her baby is a boy or girl. Both ultrasound images were inconclusive. Though I did some further investigation of my own and was startled with what I found. to me it looks as if the baby is definitely a boy and has some resemblance from both sides of the family. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.

Entertaining Angels

Hebrews 13:1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Hospitality is a gift. It can also be a learned trait. Some people seem as if having strangers in their homes is normal and natural. Others have to fight against themselves in order to have friends over for a meal.  The author of Hebrews says that some have entertained angels when they thought that they were helping a stranger. That's weird. This statement brings questions to mind. Do angels eat? Of course, silly, they eat angel food cake!  Seriously, who in the Bible entertained angels by accident? Well, how about Abraham, Lot or Jacob? Granted, Jacob's treatment of the Angel of the Lord was questionable. But he did wrestle the night away, when in fact that angel could have dislocated Jacob's hip early in the match.  Abraham, read Sarah, prepared a big meal and Lot had to offer ...

Urgent Prayer (part 2)

Does God ever give you a gut punch? He did that just a few days ago when I watched a missionary story from the other side of the world. It was short but poignant, and it punched me in the belly button and brought a few tears too. One thing that shook me was the final statement that the missionary made. He was questioning himself and said, I wonder if what I have done will make a difference. This question comes to a missionary's mind now and again as they ponder how vast God's world is and how tiny one’s work is. As I thought, and identified, with his sentiment, the Lord brought a verse to mind that I had used recently in a youth talk. It was this one in John 12:24, “ Very truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. ” When, in Matthew, the sower sowed his seed, it was the Word of God. Here in John, Jesus indicates that the seed is the life of the servant. Jesus talked of his comi...
