Looking into the past to understand the future
I have been looking at a few things on the web and in the news lately. Things that seem to be leading up to the end times. There have been many people throughout the ages that have made the statement "The end times are coming!" And believe it or not they have all been true! The end times are coming! There are one day closer today than they were yesterday. The fact is the end times are coming, a lot sooner than a majority of the worlds population think. It has nothing to do with global warming, a comet hit, or close encounters with aliens.
God is going to call an end to life as we know it! He is going to loose his angels and start His plan for mankind leading up to Judgment day. What am I talking about? I am going to start a little walk into the book of Revelation in the Bible. Looking at current events and what has been reveled in the bible.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Revelation 1:1-2 KJV

Where are the other 9?
Luke 17:11-19 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. and as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: and they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them. Go shew yourselves unto the priests. and it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. and one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back and with a loud voice glorified God. And fell down on lhis face at his feet ficing him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. and Jesus answering said. Wher there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God save this strange. And he said unto him.Arise , go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Are we like the other nine? How many times has God blessed us and we take it for granted, or worse give someone or something else the credit? The government gave me the tax credit! I just got a raise due to the hard work I have done at work.
I can do nothing, derserve only disgrace, not grace, and yet God so loved me (and you) that He gives us grace, love, blessings, life. In the trying times that are coming we need to keep our eyes on the source of all our needs and blessings, GOD
Prase God from who all blessings come!
At least that is what I think

our mission
Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you. II Corinthians 13:11 KJV
God wants us to live in peace and unity. We are to get along with our fellow man. not to be contentious, or argumentative. We should be respected and known for our honesty. This doesn't mean that we should be quite and let people shut us up when it comes to talking about our God and faith.
God calls us to witness for Him!
A lot of times we think our talking the talk is what is needed when what is needed is our walking the walk! Christians get in trouble and become ineffective when we think just our talking about God will lead people instantly to Jesus. Our actions speak louder than our words. Our example every day 24 - 7 is what Jesus wants. That will bring people to us so we can talk to them and tell them of Jesus!
Don't be afraid! Speak out! Don't quit! For I am with you and no one can harm you. Acts 19:9,10 LB
After people see the light of Jesus in our lives and are attracted to what God has done for us, then we can stand up and respectively talk boldly about Our AWESOME GOD. We are to plant the seed, that is all. God will bring in the harvest!
