Recent events, Evil and the End of the World

Recap from last nights message.

Satan's plan has always been to get people to believe that God is not good. That He is absent and that he lacks the power to do mighty things. His currency is doubt. It started in the garden by getting Eve to question God's intentions. Every act of evil since then has be designed and seduced to fruition according to Satan. They are meant to cause us to question the Goodness of God. God's plan has always been to love and bless his people. It is us who chose the evil...to walk away from goodness in search of idols.

God is eternal and his love and mercy are new every morning. My friend HE IS GOOD. For while we were yet sinners He DEMONSTRATED HIS LOVE for us by sending Jesus to die on the cross. We are not being punished but are seeing the face of evil for what it really is. God punished America on the Cross 2000 years ago. We celebrate the chain of events HE set in motion to pursue us relentlessly in 5 days.

This Christmas. Reflect upon the love demonstrated on the cross. Love without limits and expect no reward. Cherish your family and relax knowing that when the end of the world truly comes.(NOT TOMORROW) that those who are in Christ will meet Him in the air and be caught up in the blink of an eye. The wicked will be punished and We will be taken to a New Heaven and a New Earth. Jesus is in the business of bringing life out of death and making all things new.

Rejoice I say, Rejoice. Our God is more than able to accomplish what He said and He is GOOD. Paul said our present sufferings are not anything compared to the glory that awaits us in Heaven. Our hope is in Him because HE IS GOOD. This is eternal and doesn't change as a result of our actions. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
