Is Jesus Coming

Today i heard someone mocking the second coming of Christ. The person said for years we have heard Christ is coming and coming....when will HE come...and it was a secular and business setting - hence had to keep my mouth shut.

But i know the God of the bible is truthful and reliable. His word is the TRUTH.

Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen. Revelation 1:7

He is coming for a blameless Church and take the saints with him ....also to Judge.
This is a revelation only for those whose eyes are unveiled can grasp the impact.

I heard a preacher saying (Adrian Rogers) the word coming is not bound by time....its not a NOW word i.e. immediate happening but His Coming is Imminent i.e. impending/ forthcoming/ looming/ about to happen/ on the cards

Christ’s coming is always been an Imminent one than immediate. That’s what the church believes. Its not that we are walking towards the end But we are walking on the line which is the end itself…from the Ascension of Christ we are walking in that thin continuum towards is HIS coming. This is the HOPE and one of the key pillars of Christian faith.

I can only say alongwith all those who are awaiting His coming – Come Lord Jesus Come…Maranatha…Come Lord Jesus Come

Your Epitaph

Your Epitaph TGIF Today God Is First Volume 1 by Os Hillman Sunday, July 03 2011 "He will bless those who fear the Lord- small and great alike." Psalm 115:13 What will be written on your epitaph? How do you want people to remember you? What type of legacy will your life leave behind? I interviewed a very successful and powerful man one time for a magazine when this question came up. The man ran an international business that is a household name to all. He was a professed Christian, but he had difficulty answering my question. "I always knew someone would ask that question some day. I am not sure I am any more prepared to answer it now either," was the man's answer. He grappled for a few nice words, but it was clear he had not seriously considered his life much beyond his business success. It is said of George Washington Carver that he got up early in the morning each day to walk alone and pray. He asked God how he was to spend his day and what He wa...

Die or Think

There is a disturbing voice which is reverberating and its echoes are heard across the mountains and valleys. People are running like herds; churched and unchurched are the same in this. The voice that I hear is so familiar to all of us thought it might take various forms. “As a man thinketh, so is he” Wow. What a powerful truth. It will change your world. The power of your thinking, imagination, fantasy can just change you and therefore change your world. That’s nothing new. Isn’t it? What saddens me is the great philosophers of the world have screamed this aloud for several centuries now but I have not seen anyone changing for Great but just turn miserable. I do understand what you are going to say – does not the bible say so. Brilliant so you know the Bible; Am glad that you know the Word of God. Lets look at the verse in detail “.. as a man thinketh, so is he…” Prov. 23: 7 Should we look at only the verse 7 a or should you want to look at 7b as well. The full verse goes like this: ...

Starting Over

Bad time….still you can ‘start over’…This message was a real blessing to me and those of you who are caught up with the recession and the other worries…………   Starting Over The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. - James 1:9 Do you find yourself in humble circumstances? If so, James tells us that we are to take pride in this "high" position. These two things would seem to be an oxymoron. Most of us would not consider humble circumstances a high position. Successful business tells us that being on top means being wealthy, attaining favor and status, or having power to influence. However, Jesus influenced not from power, but from weakness. J.C. Penney is a name synonymous with department store. He first launched his chain of "The Golden Rule" stores in 1907. In 1910 his first wife died. Three years later, he incorporated as the J.C. Penney company. In 1923 his secon...
