Voting in Vain

"Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."-Psalm 127:1 

I like to replace "the house" and "the city" with America. Except the LORD build America, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep America, the watchman waketh but in vain. No matter who you vote for, if that candidate does not stand with God, you cast your vote in vain. A nation without God is doomed and that doesn't just go for America. Any nation that draws away from God and the things of God is only calling upon the wrath of God. That nation will eventually fall, just like Babylon. 

And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride,
Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
- Isaiah 13:19
 Many will like to think I'm a conspiracy theorist or that I'm pessimistic  all of which aren't true. I don't follow blindly or get easily excited with what is "popular". I stand by scripture and scripture has already declared what is to come. Watching the moral decay of America, it's not hard to liken it to the great Babylon.  Like in the days of Noah right before the flood, there was many warnings for the people to come out of their wicked ways. Like in the days of Abraham right before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, many were eating and drinking, living it up, YOLO as they say now, but God is warning to come out this wickedness before destruction comes!

"And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her my people that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues"- Revelations 18:4

"Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence."- Jeremiah 51:6

 The same cry is coming out to us today. Come out of Babylon! These are the warnings and the signs of what is to come. Believe it or not, it does not change God. Instead of worrying about the next president, I will rather like to focus on Christ. He is the one that will give peace for the storm that is coming and be an anchor to hold me when the wild winds blow.  The next 4 years should be interesting. We are living in quite fascinating times. It is time to put your faith in Christ and to pray like never before!

God and Science: There IS a God!

This was posted by me almost 2 years ago...but God reminded me of it today and I searched my facebook for it!

Today was an extraordinary day. I woke up and went about my day as usual, but I felt God confirming His existence in so many different ways. First, I read an article about how Protestants are no longer the majority religion in the United States for the first time in its history. While the number of people who profess to be Protestants have decreased, the number of atheist and those who just don't identify with any form of religion have increased tremendously. Reading that article sadden me because it shows the moral decay of our present day society and the removal of God from the culture. The sad part is that whenever one thing is removed, it is often replace with something else. Isaac Newton said for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction thus moving away from God and the things of God means that society has accepted the lies and deceit of the devil and a nation that refuses to acknowledge God is doomed.

From that article, I read another one mentioning that Albert Einstein' s "God Letter" is  being auctioned off and that the first bid is about $3million. I googled information about the letter because I was curious to see where Einstein stood when it came to religion and though he called religion "childish" in his letter, I learned that he was very well aware and acknowledge that there was a God or the presence of an Higher Being. I later went to Yahoo and found another article about a neurosurgeon who, after spending 7 days in a coma, came back to life to proclaim that Heaven is real! This is the same man that denied the experiences of his patients who also had near death experiences!

The final interesting event today happened after I was leaving from class. I ran into a former professor of mines who, knowing I was a Christian, introduced me to his colleague who was also a Christian. We found ourselves in an engaging conversation about God and science and these two professor confessed Jesus Christ and declared that science is evidence of God's existence. The lady professor went ahead and shared how she came to Christ with me and told me that it was in the middle of her research in astronomy that she realized what she was learning was already perfectly described in Genesis and this amazed her so much that she decided to know the God of the Bible!! Amazing!

So now I sit here and I ask God, what was the purpose of all of my experiences today? It is simple...God is real and Jesus saves!! Some people deny God because they think their limited wisdom is enough, but God created the very science you study! The little "wisdom" you have is absolutely not even a 1/10 of the details of how He created the universe. You will never fully comprehend the mysteries of God but He allows glimpses into His creativity. This does not mean we should then make science a "god" or idol because we are amazed by it but rather be amazed at the One whose Hands created it!

I feel the urgency in my heart to just say this! Heaven is real, and so is hell. Everyday we live, is living by grace but the Lord is warning that time is running out!! If you haven't receive Jesus Christ as Lord, time is running out! The events of the world are all pointing to His second coming. Today's event was God crying out to me asking, how else can He reveal Himself as God before people heed His voice? Science proves it, creation declares it, yet so many are blind. This is not the time to turn away from God but rather it is time to draw near to Him. Choose you this day who you will serve but remember that hell is eternal separation from God, a second death. It is not our Father's desire that any perish! For anyone that has not felt the power of salvation in Jesus,  repent and confess Jesus as Lord now, for one day, EVERY tongue will confess, and EVERY knee will bow.

 May God help us all. Amen.
Luke 21: 25-28
"And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves,  people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
