What do you write as one watches the terrible images and destruction affecting Japan. Our neighbors are from Japan and I can only imagine the horror and anxiety they have been living through these days. I find prayer for them and the many who this day have experienced a living "hell on earth" my only solace. I have been asked if these many events are signs of the "end times". It may well be. If it is it increases the urgency to share the grace and mercy of God in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Today we can make a difference in another life for eternity. No one has tomorrow. Make each day count.
Revelation 3:14-22
14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans[a] write,
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,[b] I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
