Go Grab that ''Cup O' Joe'' or that
''Hot Toddy'',..throw a log in the fireplace if you have
one,...''lock down'' the
house and find a spot to ''Hunker
Down,''...This Morning I'm going to 'Warm' things up a
bit!...Get the Blood Stirring up!
Let Me begin with the Story of a
''Child'' who went to Heaven first,..kind of set the picture
of ''Truth'' per say..
A little child,..after a ''short''
life here on earth went to be with the ''Lord.''
He was walking on this long road on
the way to Heaven,..he was carrying his little ''Big Bird''
Bible as he so Loved the Lord
and really enjoyed the stories and
Scripture...
He couldn't figure out why anyone
would Not want to read them or couldn't understand why some
''Big Folk's'' didn't Believe
in the ''Word of God!''.
Well,..that road was so
long,..filled with so many people wandering up the
path!...Many had on fine clothes,..jewelery, all
kinds of things...You could say
they were ''Dressed'' for the ''Occasion''...Many carrying
Lot's of ''Baggage'' talking,.no,..'Bragging'
about their wealth and how good
they were,and of all the things they had done on Earth in
their ''Walk of Life''...
Then there were some,..a
''Few'',..not Many that had ''Nill''..nothing special about
them,..Some were poorly dressed,..had no
''Baggage'' to speak of,..some
asking if they could be of help to those who were carrying a
heavy load...Why in fact,..some, like
the Little Child even had their
''Own Bibles'' and ''Shared'' the Word as they walked up the
road...Seemingly Happy to share 'Joy'..
Well,..getting to this stories
point,..
A person,..''Spirit''...Angel if
You wish was walking down this road with a ''Clipboard''
checking ''Names'' as folks were nearing
the ''Gate.''...Seperating people
into different lines...
The ''Little Child'',.being curious
asked..''What are these lines for?''...The Angel Smiling
replied...''Tickets child,..Tickets to Heaven!''
''But I Don't Have a Ticket''...the
child answered in tears,..looking around,..he saw that the
line to Heaven was very small and he
became afraid...
The Angel said,..I need to punch
''Your Ticket'' child,..''But I don't Have One'' the child
replied with tears in his eyes,..
All I have is this ''Bible
Book'',...''Hmmmm,''...let me see the Angel said,..He opend
up the Book to John 3:16 and stamped
the childs book,..''There!...thats
YOUR Ticket,..Paid in Full!''
O.K...Enough ''Children
Stories!''..after all,.We are All ''Big Folks'' ..Right!...
''BUYER BEWARE!''.... BUYER
BEWARE!''...
All have heard that saying so many
times,..Buying a car,..shopping for all kinds of
things...But!,..in Our Walk of Faith in Life
how does that apply?...
Lets read Scripture,..You'll see
where I'm at,..or at least what I'm ''Warning'' You About..
Matthew-7 : 21-23...'' Not All who
sound religious are really godly people. They may refer to
Me as 'Lord' but still won't get to
heaven.For the decisive question is
whether they obey My Father in heaven. At the Judgement many
will
tell Me,..'Lord..Lord we told each
other about You and used Your Name to cast out demons and to
do many other great miracles.'
But,..I will reply,..'You have
Never been Mine. Go Away,..for your deeds are Evil!''
''BUYER BEWARE!''...
What in heavens name am I talking
about!?...YOU!...Your Salvation,..What are YOU Buying from
those who ''Preach' the Word
of GOD?...Are these ''Great
Preachers'' ministering the Word of God?..Do the preach
about Salvation and Sin? or do 'They'
have Their hand's in Your
Pocket!...
Through this Holiday,..I have been
watching the ''T.V.'' Thumpers 'Preaching',..selling their
'ware's'' in the name of ''God'',.
the whole time ''offering''..Free
to you..Blessing miracle water,..holy 'blood oil' of
christ,..Prayer cloth,..even a piece of the
''Cross!'',...
You will have ''Riches'' beyonf
belief they promise,..Plant a ''Seed'' as the Bible
says,..it will multiply ten times they promise!
And then the ''Testimonilies''
come,..how ''Magically'' money came to
them,..cars..clothes,..even houses!..
Then the ''Hook!''...send in Your
''Love Gift''..offering,..tithe,..or 'Blessing'' to us here
at.....
''BUYER BEWARE!'',..
Like the ''Little Child'' made very
clear,..Your ''Ticket to Heaven'' can't be 'Bought',..Christ
ALREADY ''Paid it in Full!''
John-3:16...'' For GOD so loved the
world,that He gave His only begotton Son,.ANYONE who
BELIEVES in HIM shall NOT
PERISH,.but have Eternal Life!''
Mark-12:38-40..'' Beware of the
teachers of religion!..For they love to wear robes of the
rich and scholarly, and to have everyone
bow to them as they walk through
the markets. They love to sit in the best seats in the
church and at places of
honor at banquets,..but they
shamelessly cheat widows out of their homes and then cover
up the kind of men they are by pretending
to be pious and praying long
prayers in public.Because of this their punishment will be
the greatest.''
These are the ''Pious Preachers''
who also tell you ''GOD'' Spoke to me, or ''GOD'' gave me a
message of ''Salvation'' for YOU!...
''BUYER BEWARE!''
Those who try to ''Buy Their way
into Heaven'',..Beware,..as You carry to much luggage
because you did not Believe!
You listened to ''Seeds Sown'' with
''No Foundation''..watered by lies and roots planted in
Hell!...Turn away,..Accept the
True ''Water of Life'',.the Word of
God!..You still have time..
John-5:28-29..''Do not be amazed at
this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves
will hear His voice and come out..
those who have done good will rise
to live,..those who have done evil will rise to be
condemned.''
Time to stop a' ''Preaching'' and
get a re-fill of my ''Cup O' Joe!''..
But!,..I'll leave You with these
parting ''Parables!''..
''Run the race with eternity in
view.''
''Man's greatest goal,..to bring
glory to GOD!''
''People who follow Christ, lead
others in the Right Direction!''.
Remember this one too...''Men's
lives lead to certain ends,..But can the end be changed if a
man changes his life?''...Scrooge..1934..
Sherrie and I really do Pray for
All of You in Your Walk of Faith,..after all,..''We Walk by
Faith,.not by Sight.''
We hold ''Our Warrior's and Our
Great Nation'' in Prayer also,..
May We,.the ''Believers'',..from
any Religion be able as Children of GOD be able to Proudly
say...
''May GOD Bless America,..for it is
in ''GOD We Trust!''..AMEN.
Pastor Frank the ''Preacher'' and
Sherrie.
