ANCIENT ALIENS

   "And there was war in heaven:  Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought against his angels, and prevailed not.  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:  he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."        

(Revelation 12: 7-9)           

      

   "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." 

(Jesus of Nazareth, Luke 10: 18)                     

  "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.  And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye ahll not eat of every tree of the garden?  Ye shall not surely die:  for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

(Genesis 3: 1, 4, 5)

   "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that that he also is flesh:  yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.   There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."   

(Genesis 6: 1-4)

   The Bible gives us the names of 36 tribes of giants as well as the individual names of 22 giants, including King Og of Bashan and Goliath.
   Giants are the offspring of fallen angels, or the sons of God, that fell to earth because of the war in heaven.  They are part human and part devil, and they are beyond redemption.

   Jesus said,
       "Get thee behind me, Satan:  for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thy serve."  (Luke 4: 8)

        "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:  for thou wast slain, and hath redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests:  and we shall reign on the earth."  (Revelation 5: 9-10)

THE GOSPEL OF ST. NICOLAS

  "Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
    Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them:  for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
    And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."  (Exodus 20:  3-6)

   Young children have never seen Santa Claus, but an image of Santa is all it takes for children to believe that Santa makes his midnight run out of the North Pole once a year, bringing toys and presents to children worldwide in a single night.
   What a story!

   When parents and grand-parents teach children to believe in Santa Claus, they are also teaching them to believe that the character from the Bible is just a fairy tale from ignorant people.  And because Santa Claus brings toys and presents and candy, which one will they believe is real?
   As parents and grand-parents teach, the children will learn.
   As parents and grand-parents believe, the children will also believe.

  Just as young children believe in Santa Claus because of his image, how many parents and grand-parents believe because of the images they see of their gods in churches and religious institutions?
  If we should remove the image of Santa Claus, what would children do for Christmas?
  If we should remove the images of gods in churches and religious institutions, what would adults do?

  Have you ever wondered if 'Twas the Night Before Christmas  is the Gospel of St. Nicolas?
  St. Nick only visits once a year and always under the cover of darkness while children are sleeping, then escapes to the North Pole to be heard from no more.
  And when the morning appears, parents and grand-parents are thrilled because the children believe in Santa Claus while believing that Jesus is still a baby in His mother's arms and unable to do for them all that Santa can do.
 
   Young children do not know the difference between Santa Claus and Jesus.  Somebody must tell them.  And the story that gets to their minds first is the story they will most likely believe.

   Jesus said,
      "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me; for such is the kingdom of heaven."  (Matthew 19: 14)

   Young children can understand the Good News of Christ---if adults will tell them.

HIDING FROM GOD

   In the garden of Eden story in the Bible, Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent, and neither Adam nor Eve blamed God.
   Adam and Eve knew the commandment of God, they also knew the consequences, and yet they ate the forbidden fruit anyway.
   And when God came on the scene on their judgment day, what did Adam and Eve do?

      "And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden."  (Genesis 3: 8)
 
   Does this story sound familiar?

   For more than two thousand years, people have heard the Gospel of Christ, just as Adam and Eve heard the truth in the garden of Eden. 
  Therefore, people have heard about sin and the consequences of it, and they do it anyway while believing they will get away it.
   Unlike Adam and Eve, however, people today blame God---while the devil gets away with murder, pornography, pedophilia, prostitution, and the human trafficking of women and children for money, drugs, and rape.
   But on the other hand, people do as Adam and Eve did:  they look for a place to hide from God, a place that will provide a cloak for their sin---while believing that if God cannot find them, then God will not judge them.
   While hiding beneath their cloaks, they blame God for everything that is wrong in the world today while rejecting personal responsibility for the consequences of their own choices.
   God, however, has something to say to people hiding amongst the trees:

      "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."  (2nd Corinthians 6: 17-18)

THE ATHEIST

   Atheism is a religion, created from the minds of atheists.

   The only reason a person converts to atheism is because he believes the words of another atheist.

   Since all religions are created from the imaginations of men, and not from God, there had to have been a first atheist because men take credit for the things they invent.  Can an atheist give us the name of the first atheist?

   We know that spoken words are invisible, so how would an atheist explain why he believes in the spoken invisible words of another atheist?

   Light is invisible.  We do not see light.  We see, however, because  of light and not because we see light.  So how would an atheist explain invisible light?

   Darkness is also invisible.  Darkness is the result of the absence of light.  But when invisible light appears, invisible darkness flees, and we do not see darkness running down the road to get away from light.  How, then, would an atheist explain invisible darkness?

   Scientifically, we know that things that appear do not come from nothing.  By this we know that the universe began from something greater than itself.  How would an atheist explain how something can come from nothing?

   For an atheist to declare that God does not exist is like trying to explain how something that does exist does not exist.

   An atheist will seek fellowship with other atheists because other people do not believe that something that does not exist does not exist.

   An atheist is a god of his own mind because an atheist believes in himself more than he believes in anything else.

  People of religions build images, or idols, to represent their gods and goddesses, and they will also worship their images.  The only image an atheist has is a picture of himself.

  People of religions also believe their gods and goddesses are invisible in the heavens, but an atheist believes he is a god here on earth as he rules and reigns over atheism.

  We do not actually see the hole in a doughnut.  The doughnut is made that way to let the light shine through darkness.  Ask the atheist to explain what happens to the hole when the doughnut disappears.

   Music and noise are also invisible.

   Thus we have invisible spoken words, invisible light, invisible darkness, and invisible music and noise.  So how does an atheist explain things invisible?

   Because the atheist believes God does not exist, the atheist has no love for others because love is of God.  The Bible explains it this way:

      "Beloved, let us love one another:  for love is of God:  and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love.  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."  (1st John 4: 7-9)
 

   

AT FAITH VALUE

   If people will not believe in the Bible by faith, they will not believe in the Bible at all.
   If people will not believe in God by faith, they will not believe in God at all.
   If people will not believe in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ by faith, they will not believe in Jesus at all.

      "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."  (John 1: 18)

      "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."  (Hebrews 11: 1)

      "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."   (Hebrews 11: 3)

      "But without faith it is impossible to please him:  for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."  (Hebrews 11: 6)

      "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."  (Romans 10: 17)

      "For by faith are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God."  (Ephesians 2: 8)

   And after the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death, the Lord said unto Thomas,

      "Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:  blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."  (John 20: 29)

   Again, Jesus said:

      "Let not your heart be troubled:  ye believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many mansions:  if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.  (John 14:  1-3)

   At faith value simply means:

      "That if thou will confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."  (Romans 10: 9)
      

     

WERE YOU THERE

   "Ah, thou that destroyeth the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself, and come down from the cross."  (Mark 15: 29, 30)

   If Jesus had come down from the cross, He would have liked Himself more than He liked others, and He would have loved Himself more than He loved others.

   Strangely, but we often hear people saying those words today:

      You must like yourself

                      before you can like others.

         You must love yourself

                        before you can love others.

   Take care of self first.

   Let me be first in line, first to be seated, and first to be served.

   Let me go first and you can go second.

   Let me pick first and you can pick second.

   Let me have it because I saw it first.

   Save the last dance for me.

   Save the last piece of cake for me.

   Look out for numero uno because numero uno likes and loves the face in the mirror above all faces.

"...save thyself, and come down from the cross."

  Had Jesus come down from the cross, the New Testament of the Bible would have never been written, and Jesus would have not been known outside of Nazareth. 
  But because Jesus remained on the cross and died there, His name has been known worldwide more than any name in world history, for there is something about that name that God will not let people forget.

     "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:  and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

       Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:  yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

       But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

      All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."  (Isaiah 53: 3-6)

LUKE

"Only Luke is with me."

(2nd Timothy 4: 11)

  If you have but one friend in this world, be thankful.

  If you have but one friend who loves and cares about you, be thankful.

  

  Who is that one friend you have in this world?

  Who is that one friend who loves and cares about you?

  Who is the Luke in your life?

  He has always had more belief in you than you have believed in yourself.

  He has always had more confidence in you than you have had in yourself.

  He has always been there when you have had victories, and he has always there when you have suffered defeats.

  He has seen you in your best of days, and he has seen you in your worst.

  If you remember, it was Luke who encouraged you to be a golfer, musician, songwriter, shade-tree mechanic, and a host of other endeavors that ran through your head.

  If you remember, it was Luke who encouraged you to use your talent for God, and not for the praises of men, nor for the praises of yourself.
  Luke has never given up on you when you wanted to give on yourself.

  Paul the Apostle went to the heart of the Roman Empire to preach the Gospel of Christ, and the Gospel of Christ prevailed.  Only Luke was with him.
  Paul preached to the devil's face on throne in Rome, and the Gospel of Christ prevailed.  Only Luke was with him.
  As long as Luke was with him, Paul was fine.

  As believers in Christ, we are much like the Apostle Paul in that we are messengers and ministers to empires:  the empires of families, the empires of friends, the empires of communities and cities, and the empires on the streets where we live.  And as long as we have a Luke with us, we will be fine, and the Gospel of Christ will prevail.

   Jesus said,
      "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst thereof."  (Matthew 18: 20)
     
 Paul and Luke were fine because the Lord was there in midst thereof.
 In like manner, Christ will be in the midst thereof with us when two or three gather in His name.

THE EXPENDABLES

   Kings, queens, presidents, politicians, and popes employ armed guards and travel in bulletproof vehicles.
   And while the blood of children flows in the halls and classrooms in our schools, about all these above mentioned will offer is this:

                    "our thoughts and our prayers"

   Then they get back in their bulletproof vehicles and fly, fly away---while their armed guards have their backs.

   Till the next time.

   Have children in the United States and children worldwide become the expendables?

   Have we reached the age where we treat children as disposable diapers that we throw on the streets with the rest of the trash to be taken to dung hills and burned?

   Does "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"  not apply for children?

   If nations do not protect their children from evil, why should God protect those nations?

  

Jesus said,

      "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me; for such is the kingdom of heaven."  (Matthew 19: 14)

   What would happen if all of these kings, queens, presidents, politicians, and popes preached the love of God to adults and children instead of government and religion?

   Why do they  have armed guards and children do not?

   Why do they  have bulletproof vehicles and children do not?

   Could it be that world leaders fear men more than they fear God?
