I turn 72 shortly. I don't know how long I have left. I lost my sister born right in front of me at 70. Yet, I have a brother who is coming up on his 85th birthday and a sister after him at 81. My mother died at 87 1/2. Her mom lived to 99 1/2. My dad died at 60 after his 4th heart attack. So far my heart is okay, had two cath's and both were clean. I just lost all my joints and back. Back 3 times, both shoulders, 3 knee replacements, the right one twice because the Fing DR screwed it up and I had a redo 6 months later!!! I had my knees scoped 4 times, and some other assorted surgeries to total 18 in all. I am sick of doctors cutting on me. I have a torn labrum on the right shoulder, but I will just live with the pain. I am sick of doctors, hospitals, those quacks that put you to sleep, all of them. But I am just waiting on the Good LORD to return and we will be out of here. I firmly believe that.

EVERYTHING that the Bible said was coming to this point has happened. The Bible said in Daniel where it spoke of a coming one world government on this earth in the last days and he wrote that over 2,500 years ago. Those blind to what Scripture says is coming are sadly going to pay a horrible price. If you don't believe, you'd better be right. You do so at your own peril. Christ will come in the clouds to call His bride to Him. After that, the Dispensation of Grace is over!! The suspended age of Law will complete the remaining seven years of its 490 years. Those that don't understand that at His crucifixion, the Age of Law stopped. Read Daniel Chapter 9, vv. 24-27. It tells you there, when Messiah is cut off, that is when it stopped. It begins cranking back up after the Church is raptured/rapturoed/caught up/snatched out/Harpazoed up, which ever one you want to chose. The Tribulation isn't far behind. If you don't believe, I asked you to reconsider. Find yourself a Bible believing, evangelical church, one that teaches the whole Word of God, not this make it rich, get rich quick, name it and claim it, made up religious practices. Ephesians Chap 2, vv. 8-9, "it is by GRACE you are saved . . . not of works. It is a GIFT of God." NO WORKS. There ain't one danged thing you can DO to earn salvation. It is by Grace. Believe. Simply that easy. THAT'S WHAT THE BOOK SAYS!!

Speaking of what The Book says.

Another evangelical willing to reject the book of James, while not understanding the need for works. Faith without works is dead. No one is promoting works as a means to salvation, but if you don’t understand the relationship, you don’t understand the gospel of Jesus Christ.

If the Children of Israel couldn’t get it done with all of the miracles they experienced while Moses led them, what makes you think this is so easy? I suggest it wise to contemplate their experience.
