No NT Christian ran for office

It may not be God’s will that a Christian man run for governor of his state. It IS God’s will that every governor be a Christian. “God so loved the” state governor “that whosover” state governor… “believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” There is no NT Christian who “ran” for any political office. NT men of such positions were already there – then became Christians.

THE SUN DIES
Posted in uncategorized, tagged THE SUN DIES on July 5, 2016| Leave a Comment »
The sun is “born” and “dies” every night,
Reminding in its over-head flight,
That life starts low – level of the eye
Life ends low – at edge of earth and sky.
Regardless of how the sun may soar
Or how bright its light from “eight to four”
It always sets, finds its final time;
Matters not how heady-high its climb.
Grand ladies and men, alike the low slave,
Have earthly life closings at the grave.

Purgatory is NOT REAL

If purgatory were real (it is not!),
if it were terrible, make that T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E, if it lasted a thousand years or a million and then one could enjoy heaven some would be foolish enough to try it. No. God has to make the rejection of His Son a crime punishable with an eternal punishment or man would “have their cake and eat it too.”
The tougher the parental punishment is, the less likely the brat is to disobey, if repeat, IF dad is a man of his word. Let me, with all solemnity, tell you this: God IS A BEING OF HIS WORD! Eternal damnation waits every soul who rejects the salvation offered (freely) through Jesus Christ. Some parents have “allowed” Johnny to win. Not God; God will win the contest.
