You were once so beautiful, 
with freedoms shining bright.
And liberties for all who sought
to live a life that's right.

You gave to all who asked of you
and then you gave some more.
For all who came in need of help
they found a open door.

But now you've changed your freedoms
into liberties to kill.
And abort the unborn children
and pretend that they aren't real.

You cover up your conscience
by changing wrong to right.
And hide yourself in darkness
because you fear the Light.

The Light reveals what you've become
with all your worldly ways.
You close your eyes and try to hide
from God's intensive gaze.

How could you stray so far from Him
after all He's done for you.
He molded you from nothing 
to a nation strong and true.

But now you've turned your back on Him
your love has turned to hate.
Repent America! Come back to God
and pray it's not to late.

Love & Blessings

Ralph Waldo Emerson may have said it best:

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."

And IF America repented, would that change anything in the Bible? Would the End Times Clock be re-set?

It would affect the lives of millions as millions of people would receive Salvation and would no longer perish in Hell. Salvation is the desired outcome and salvation is the big picture. Yes, end time will still happen but on a smaller scale.

I hear you.....HUG 
Behind our human masks 
diverse life colors 
and working class 
Under the labels 
we all create 
if only to argue and debate 
The taring down with hurtful words 
one thousand voices fighting 
but no one heard 
the heartbeat of humanity 
groaning for release 
from all the cheap politics 
dividng you from me 
Everybody boarding the "wrong focus train" 
clutching our baggage of guilt pain and shame 
Yet standing in wait 
just surrender we will see 
Jesus waiting for you and me

Amen and Amen! that was beautiful...

thank you for sharing \o/

P.S. Poet just for the record I will not be going back to that other forum so if you post to me there and I don't read it and reply, it is nothing personal I just don't need the stress... I enjoy discussing things with people who want to share and learn, but when it is just about arguing and fighting I don't have the energy for it or the time for that matter.

you do not need to apologise to me, I believe you were only standing up for the truth and it is important to do that especially in these days. 
Yes you are right, it was like a bomb, unfortunately I am beginning to think that whole forum might be a "bomb" and I don't want to be there when it explodes. 

I lay awake all night last night thinking about what went wrong on that discussion ....it was so upsetting to me 

Yes it has bothered me too, it and many of the other discussion I have participated in lately, that is why for my health's sake I have got to slow down. I love discussing things, but when it turns into a free-for-all with so much hostility, I have no desire to be a part of it. 

What I needed to learn was that its ok that i have different views 
but i was wrong to be insensitive to those whom feel totally different than i 

Well to be honest, I don't remember where you were "insensitive" and sometimes steadfastness can be mistaken for "insensitivity". The underlining thing must always be love, and I saw nothing unloving in your posts. It is ok to let people feel "different" but it is not ok to compromise the truth just to "spare someone's feelings", while it is true that it must always be given in love, there is nothing "loving" about compromise, it is deadly. 

I am guilty indeed .... well i can come and visit you here right ?

I too am guilty for staying involved with it longer than I should have, I have always been bad about having to have the last word. :-(
Yes I will probably hang out here for awhile until David gets tired of me, then I may just fade away into cyberspace... I am tired, I have been doing this for almost 15 years online, and I am about ready to "retire" and let the young folks take over.

Hello Tommy

I hope you don't mind if I take the liberty to comment about your question. 

Just as the prophecy's of Jesus life and death was to be fulfilled to proved salvation for all who seek Him in truth and spirit will be saved. 

The method or the powers that would bring about the death of Jesus was not set in stone because all have the power of choice but the out come would have taken place no matter who or what method taken.

The death and  resurrection of Jesus was at the appointed time.

We are not given a time or date for the second coming of Jesus but we are given signs to keep us awake and looking for His appearing. All that we are told about in the Prophecies of Revelation will take place. We have passed the last time frame in Prophecy that is given as to where we are at in the scheme of prophecy. We are livening in the time of the end and we can see the signs all around us. There will be no rechecking of the end times but hopefully there will be an awakening that will shake the world awake to its condition so that more will be saved. Amen.

Rev 22:7
Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
KJV

Rev 22:10-14
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
KJV

Rev 22:17
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
KJV

Rev 22:20-21
0 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
KJV

May the Lord be with you and bless you

Frank


May our prayer be:

"Oh, my best Friend, my Maker, my Lord, shape me and mold me into Thy divine likeness. Make me entirely like Thyself. Refine, purify, quicken me, that I may represent the character of God."

Not at all; rational, thinking Christians are becoming an endangered species - especially on this forum. The emotionally-challenged here are a sight, too. Instead of a spiritual debate, it becomes one of Pride of Viewpoint. Oh well... 

< There will be no rechecking of the end times but hopefully there will be an awakening that will shake the world awake to its condition so that more will be saved. Amen. > 

Don't hold your breath, brother. I think it will just get worse. Remember all the Revivals of the past three centuries? As soon as the immediacy of the threat of brimstone subsided, so did the zeal for following the Lord. 

No, a revival is not coming, and wouldn't do any good if it did. 

Blessings, 

Tommy

pretty good wisdom behind that huh? ( i feel like we have been hoovered for a good reason) ehehehe 

I still hold to my bible and what it says..... the end times are all about deception thats why Jesus said be careful no one leads you astray

to be honest with you Poet it really shouldn't matter about the "real supporters" the only thing that matters is to speak the truth in love, and although sometimes it is hard to "sound" loving, if you continue to speak it when others are attacking you for it, IMHO that is the same kind of love as laying down ones life. Because in fact you are sacrificing your "comfort" in order to share the truth with others. YOU are not "living your life" but instead are letting the LORD live through you. Do you understand what I mean, I am afraid I am not explaining myself very well here. When we stand up for the truth that in itself is being "loving"

i believe the poster did too..... yesterday he responded saying if the enemy is in camp would we ban together or would we turn on each other 

yes sometimes I wonder if many of these controversial posts are not posted for that very reason :-( it is very sad, but it seems to happen a lot. All one has to do is find an area of disagreement, post a message on it and sit back and watch the fur fly. Christians make it very easy on satan nowadays. 

pretty good wisdom behind that huh? ( i feel like we have been hoovered for a good reason) ehehehe 

unfortunately while many christians are willing to take on the name of Jesus, they are not willing to take on the mind of Christ. That is what is wrong with the church today. They accept Jesus and proclaim Jesus and they believe in Jesus, but they do not follow Him, nor do they think like Him. 

I still hold to my bible and what it says..... the end times are all about deception thats why Jesus said be careful no one leads you astray 

Amen! and we are in those times and the deception is very great. It is very sad to see how deceived the church today really is, one of their greatest deceptions is their following of this man Bush like he is God's advocate on earth. This man is evil and I know this, but it seems the majority of christians believe he is a good born-again christian man that God put into the presidency to bring America back to God. 
The bible speaks how in the last time the church will be divided into two parts, the Laodicean church and the Philidelphian church, one will be worldly and apostate and one will follow the love of Jesus empowered by the Holy Spirit. It is MHO that we are seeing these two aspects of the church today in full force. It is very important for those who want to be in the Philidelphian church to take their eyes off this world and refocus them where they belong, on the LORD Jesus Christ. Like Peter when he walked on the water with Jesus, IF we take our eyes off our LORD we will go under. 

but your right we cant compramise truth

compromise is a lie. According to the world standards compromise is a "good" thing. If you are not willing to compromise then you are called bullheaded or unreasonable. But when it comes to the truth compromise kills. When we compromise the truth, the truth is no longer recognizable. There is only one truth and it is our responsibility to find it, we cannot do this when we are willing to compromise and "agree to disagree" that is one reason I am limiting myself to just a few forums, because I can no longer "agree to disagree" not that I want to argue or anything, personally I want to discuss things until we can find the truth together and then agree on it. \o/ But too often I hear, "you have your opinion and I have mine, one is just as good as the other"... this is just not true. The opinion of someone who has never studied prophecy and someone who has spent most of their adult life studying prophecy is not equal when it comes to prophecy. Many christians believe that prophecy ended with Jesus and have no idea that 2/3 of prophecy is for the endtimes. There are actually many christians who don't believe we even need to read the OT because it was "for the Jews" I am very doubtful that most christians have ever even read the prophets and if they did have no idea of what they were actually reading.

Hi Tommy 

I understand what you are saying about revival, and looking at history especially through the prophetic sense we can see that the fullness of the times are upon us. so now more than ever before we need a rival, of the true and pure Truths of Gods Word so that we will be well armored against the deceptions of the evil forces that are though to be good, by those that live in darkness.

May we look to the Light of Truth and drink in the pure Water of life that is given freely to all who will take it.

Jesus is coming again! Let us be fishers of men to bring hope and love to a dying world.

Matt 13:40-42 "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. NIV

Mark 13:7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. NIV

Rev 21:6-7 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son NIV

Rev 22:18-21 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. 

20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." 

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen. NIV

Matt 24:30-31 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. NIV

God bless
