Tornado Weekend Ahead....

Forecasters Are Already Predicting a Massive Tornado Outbreak This Weekend!

I pray that people in Texas and Oklahoma remain safe this weekend. But we've seen this over and over again, and if the forecasters are anywhere near accurate, a devastating tornado will probably do major damage in these areas, up to and including death. Someone alive today will not be "waking up with Al" as it says in the picture. And since none of us knows the day or hour when we take our last breath, isn't it so very important that we are prepared to wake up in eternity?

James 4:13-14 

Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

 

The only way to be ready is to repent & trust in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
Not your church; not your religion; not your philosophy; not your good works; not anything else.
If you would be delivered from the consequences of your sins against God, you have only one option:

 

Acts 4:12 

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

 



Severe weather is frightening! Tornados, tsunamis, mudslides, hurricanes, and lightning. A loud clap of thunder can send us diving for cover. But all that we see and experience of this universe God created is just a small revelation of what God is like. How awesome, how powerful must God be to have spoken all of this into existence? How terribly fearful it must for a man when he comes into the near presence of the Almighty!

Job 26:14 

Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

 

Luke 12:4-5 

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

 

E T E R N I T Y !

Just heard a great message preached tonight by Evangelist Gary Gillmore, on Luke 12:16-21. The man in this parable worshipped himself. Count the number of times the words "I" and "my" are used! But, he left a critically important word out of his life:

ETERNITY

O Fool! To live for time,
and not for eternity! Jesus lived for eternity, and it was for the joy set before him that allowed him to endure the cross, despising the shame...that he might bring many sons to glory, in eternity.

We must live for eternity now, in this life, (not when we are in eternity - that'll be too late) if we are to be prepared for eternity. Thank God through Jesus Christ, that because of him alone, I will be with him in eternity. God has promised, and I have complete confidence in his word. And keeping this word in mind - ETERNITY - will help me make choices in my daily life that will count for eternity.

Do you have that confidence? If today were your last day to live, if you stepped into eternity tomorrow, would you be ready? Are all your sins washed away in the blood of the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ? If not, friend, you are not ready, for God will not overlook your sins. Because God is good, he cannot overlook your sins, and Hell will be your eternal destiny.

Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures...he was buried, and was raised again from that grave three days later (see 1 Cor. 15:1-4). God now commands all to repent (change your mind, agree with God, and turn to God), trusting that Jesus died on that cross for your sins. All who repent & believe on the Lord Jesus Christ will receive the gift of eternal life. That is salvation,  my friend, and that is how you can begin to live for eternity....
