Not as smart as we thought!

1Co 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

1Co 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

We live in the Information age, people are becoming smarter and smarter, or so they think! they increase with knowledge, they invent new ways of doing things, getting the job done in less time with sometimes even less money, but it is foolishness according to God.

It's amazing that people can figure out how to do a wide variety of things, yet they don't know how to get saved the Bible way, and live for God and bring him Glory on a daily basis. They say they are saved, yet they continue in SIN and they are a rebellious people, not wanting instruction, but say, "I'll do it my way!" these people are in danger of being lost throughout eternity.

My friend, there is NO second chance, this is not as some suppose a dress rehearsal, this is the REAL THING!!

What we do now matters and will matter throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity, don't wait until it's too late to realize that things were not quite the way you thought they should be, there is no turning back then, we will all give an account for all deeds done in this life, I refuse to take a chance at just living on the edge.

Many times the question to the Pastor is NOT so much what is SIN? and what is not? but the question is HOW CLOSE CAN WE GET? I don't want to live my life like that and I will not. I will sound the alarm to those that I can reach and say you MUST live right in order to make heaven your home.

You see my friend, it's all about REPENTANCE, if we are sincere, when we make a mistake, and we will, we can come to God and ask him to forgive us and the Word says:

1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1Jo 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

He plainly lets us know in another place that if his word was not in us, there are certain things that would not be done :

Joh 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Joh 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Joh 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Joh 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Joh 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Joh 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

I am once again reminded of the song, OH! I want to see him and look upon his face... I don't want to miss Heaven for this world, and don't forget, this world is already in a destructive mode. I am excited about the things of God. I trust that you will really get in the Word and let the Word get in you and let God Bless you the he would like to.

Praying with you in mind,

Evangelist: Frank Mc Gee ~
