The Troubles We Cause Ourselves

I am astonished at how many people are having terrible troubles in their lives, all caused by their own rebellion while refusing to listen to those who have not had those troubles. Doesn't it make sense that if someone lives a decent and productive life, we would want to know the secret of that for ourselves. By decent and productive I mean, emotionally secure and spiritually growing.

The Country is Enslaved!

This country is enslaved and doesn't even know it. There will come a date due payment, and by then it will be too late for the nation but not too late for individuals who place their trust in Christ.

We are enslaved to our sin and debauchery, many refuse to listen to rebukes and warnings, thinking there will be no consequences.

Romans 6;23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Galatians 6:7-8 "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."

Our nation is over as we knew it, those of us who love Christ, will remain calm, spiritually blessed and trusting in Christ. However, those who do not have Christ and refuse Him will choose to defy Him and remain in their enslaved status, while their life continues to degenerate, like a frog in a frying pan, they will not realize their condition until it is too late.

Zechariah 7:13 ""And just as He called and they would not listen, so they called and I would not listen," says the LORD of hosts;"

God has been calling to us to repent and become born again, but the people would not listen, so God will not hear when it is too late.

Acts 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
