In Acts 15, we read of the great dispute among the Gentiles and many of the Jews over the issue of circumcision.  The question was raised in the Jerusalem Council:  “Are Christians made right with God by faith alone, or by a combination of faith and obedience of the Law of Moses?”

Peter addressed the council with the answer, “We are saved by faith alone”.

This discussion/dispute took place in the Jerusalem Council in 50 A.D.

Flash forward to today.  There are all different denominations and churches in Christianity.  Many have different beliefs, traditions and styles.  But we all share one important belief, Jesus is our Savior. And Jesus is the only Savior 🙂

In Revelations we read the Letters to the Churches.  One thing is clear, no Christian church was or is perfect.  One thing is also clear, Loyalty to God must come first, above all things, including churches, family and  country.

The good news is that we are all on the same journey, the journey Home to Heaven and we all believe and follow Jesus Christ. This will matter the most!

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready?

While praying the Rosary, I saw Mary and I together praying on a hill in front of a white Cross. We were praying to her Son. All of a sudden we seemed to fall far, far away. Almost as if we flew. But we kept praying. All of a sudden I realized this fall was an illusion. It was a false illusion. And as soon as I realized this, we were right back next to the Cross, praying as before.

When I realized this was an illusion, I heard “That’s right”. And I knew it was Jesus.

When we feel far from Christ, we need to ask ourselves, “who moved”. And did we really move, or is Jesus right there. Whatever the case, keep praying 🙂

“So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.”-Matthew 24:33

In Matthew 24, Jesus gives us many signs to look at to see that His coming will be here sooner, rather than later…

One of those “signs” is: “And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another”-Matthew 24:10

Doesn’t that sound a lot like American Society today? Isn’t the Cancel Culture and War that is currently going on like that?

Does not the Left hate the Right?

Do we not hear much about Christians being persecuted? Sometimes by their own family members. Sometimes betrayed even unto death!

Take heart, for it is a sign of Christ’s Return. Jesus will come for us :).

I had the privilege of driving with an older African American gentleman. He was very kind, and very knowledgeable. He shared that he felt the media rarely told the truth and was doing its’ best to divide us. And he was right.

Jesus’ Command was that we love God and love one another. But many in the media are doing their best to encourage us to fear and hate one another. But we do NOT have to listen to them!

God has not given us a Spirit of fear. We CAN choose our own path and love one another – no matter what the media reports.

And our effort to do so, can be our gift to Christ 🙂

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness”-2 Timothy 3:16

God gave us His Word for a reason! There is a “time and a season”. This is it.

Watch daily for Christ’s Return, for Jesus could come any day 🙂

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready!

Pray all of Psalm 91 and be encouraged and comforted!

Seen while Praying the Rosary: Soldiers leaning against an old wooden building while sitting on a bench in green helmets. The soldiers appeared to be waiting for transportation.

Then I saw Soldiers going to Heaven. It was a beautiful site 🙂

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

No One Knows the Day or Hour

³⁶ “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of ^[f]heaven, but My Father only. ³⁷ But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. ³⁸ For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, ³⁹ and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. ⁴⁰ Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. ⁴² Watch therefore, for you do not know what ^[g]hour your Lord is coming. ⁴³ But know this, that if the master of the house had known what ^[h]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. ⁴⁴ Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” – Matthew 36-44

No one knows the day or the hour of Christ’s return except the Father. But we do know that some of the signs are here. But what we don’t know, is when? And we don’t knowhow long a day is in God’s time? Is it 24 hours? Is it a 100 years? We just don’t know. We know how long a day is in our time, but not in God’s Time. But we do long for Christ’s return and He is coming 🙂

But there is somethings we do know. Some of the signs of Jesus’ Return have appeared We do know that Jesus told us to always be ready and that we need to introduce as many people as possible to Faith in Jesus. And we do know that we will recognize Christ’s return 🙂

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready 🙂

“Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
⁷ Let the ^[a]wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.” – Isaiah 55:6-9

We need to “Seek the Lord” and repent! There is no one who wants us to go to Heaven more than our Father. He loves us more than we can ever understand. And His love is unconditional.

As long as we are alive, God will forgive us in Jesus’ Name. For Jesus “makes a way where there is no way”

Many wonder when the Great Tribulation will be. Only God Our Father knows. But the truth is that it could be very soon or it could be a 100 years from now. We really don’t know. And since we don’t know, and since it could be soon…

Don’t wait. Repent today!
