Something To Share:

Something to share with you. Whether I am at home in our apartment building or at work, I see and speak to many people, and what I see is fear and anxiety about the Corona virus. I've even been asked if I believe God sent this. What I tell them, is I believe he allowed it to not only affect the United States but the entire world.
There are those who would blame God, but I believe this is a time not to blame him, but to run to him. Only the Lord can give true peace and bring us through this time of trial.
As a nation, we need to ask his forgiveness for what we've done to God Almighty. We need to take a knee as they say and maybe even get down on both knees and cry out to him for forgiveness. The scripture says that if we do this he will hear from heaven and heal our land. The United States not only needs a physical healing but a spiritual one as well. The scripture also tells us to seek the Lord while he may be found. Scripture also states lean not to your own understanding but trust in him.
I truly believe that God has given us a wake up call and we as a nation and as individuals we need to heed that call and get right with God. We also need to put him back in all the places that we have removed him from, and honor him, respect him, and call upon his name.

You Just Never Know....

Hello Everyone:
I want to share with you what happen today as I arrived at work. The first thing that I did was to check out my bus for today's trips. 

As I went into the Dispatch Office to check in with her; another driver immediately started asking me what the symbol of my religion was. Wow; an open door; I stated that, that symbol would have to be the Cross. An empty cross at that, as Jesus Christ had Risen on Resurrection Sunday. I explained that everything that Jesus Christ did for mankind happened on the Cross. He shed His Blood on that Cross, so that we could become free of the sin that our human nature has had since we were born into this world. 

I've also told this driver in the past that I do not have a religion but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and have asked Him to forgive me of my sins, which He promises me Eternal Life. 

Not long after that, another driver said he wanted to ask me a question. Actually, he asked me several questions about different denominations. One question that was asked, that others have asked as well, is about people who have died, and how they can look down on their family to see the struggles that they are going through. I gave that driver the Scripture that is found in... 
Ecc 9:5-6 KJV
(5)  For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

(6)  Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

The most important question that was asked of me was....Why did Jesus have to die on the Cross. The answer I gave was to Redeem Mankind from their sins. That question and answer period lasted about 30 minutes.

Here is the reason for this post....
I have mentioned in the past from preaching and I have stated that each of us needs to be on the lookout, so when the Lord sends someone across our path, we; as Christians need to be ready to answer them and lead them to the Lord.

1Pe 3:15 KJV

(15)  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Happy Easter

Copied
After the President’s news conference was over, one of the reporters made the observation that for the first time in our nation’s history we won’t be celebrating Easter. Well let me tell you one thing, he’s dead wrong!! We might not celebrate what Easter has become. The world has made it about the Easter bunny and Easter egg hunts and new clothes for that Sunday. THAT is not what Easter is all about! We might not hide and hunt eggs in mass quantities. We may not travel home to attend church with our family. We might not see some folks at our worship services that we haven’t seen since Christmas, but we’re going to celebrate Easter. As a matter of fact, every Sunday is Easter Sunday. Every time we assemble for worship we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Pilate couldn’t kill Him and the grave couldn’t hold Him. You think the Coronavirus is going to stop Easter? More people this year will hear the gospel than any other Easter before.
Easter is not about special programs, although we will still have them at our church. It’s not about the trumpet call or the mass crowds. It’s the fact that we serve a living Savior who is still transforming lives today. Easter is not only about His resurrection, but our ability to rise with Him. Easter is about the hope of tomorrow and the gift of everlasting life. Yes indeed, we will celebrate. We’ll celebrate what God did for all of us at Calvary. How? By serving Him. By loving Him. By worshipping Him. By praising Him. Easter for us is everyday. Let the celebration begin. Sing with me:
I serve a risen Saviour, He's in the world today
I know that He is living, whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him He's always near
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
Yes, this FB friend said it so well and it so resonates with me that I just had to copy & pass along! Thank you for sharing !
Happy Easter my friends!
