Where does it end? Things just seem to be getting worse and worse. I heard some news speculators saying that they think that we could soon be paying $10.00 a gallon for gas.

Which horse of the Apocalypse is this????


I saw a new post by Karen,
I knew it'd be doom and gloom,
It seems the Joy of Jesus,
has quickly left the room.

Why don't you tell me?

I don't force you to read my posts. You could just ignore them like others do. Perhaps you just enjoy showing how nasty you can be?

What if, the color green smells like the shape of Hydrogen?

lots of variables. I am not as much of a futurist as I used to be, so I don't happen to see this as an exclamation of any fulfilled prophecy or doomsday event. there is lots of speculation by many parties. and this kind of "news" sells news papers.

might it happen? maybe. but I will not dwell on it, I have more important things to think on, so that I am not a grasshopper in it's sight.

I didn't bring up "doomsday or prophecy". And, yes, there are many variables. I respect your opinion because it goes along with "don't worry about what you shall eat, what you shall wear"..........I tend to be the kind of person that hopes for the best but tries to prepare for the worst. If I can prepare for the worst, perhaps I would not only be helping myself, but then be in a position to be able to help someone else. If you have enough extra to be able to give someone a hot bowl of beans and they are hungry, the will listen to God's word while they are eating.

Just a few thoughts there..........

I didn't say you did, notice my post was after GC's? (context - I would have quoted you like I am doing here had I wanted to reference your post directly in comment

and i agree. I believe that God wants us to do what we can do when it comes to putting legs on our faith. but your idea of "worst (based on this and, well, all your other posts)", and my idea are way different.

Which is my point in relations to your post(s). I truly do believe that God is my source, and that He will always proved a way for me to go through the trials and hard times in life.

Rambo,
I was not trying to be argumentative. I am not sure of exactly what you are referring to here.............

but your idea of "worst (based on this and, well, all your other posts)", and my idea are way different.

Have I somehow given the impression that I don't have trust in God as my source? Because that is absolutely not what I believe or where I am comming from. He is the ONLY thing that I DO trust. God always does provide a way, but doesn't he use people at times as his hands or his feet? Am I so wrong because I wish to be prepared for whatever the future may hold?

Yeah, I know. You and others see me as a real drag. Everyone seems to want that "feel good, prosperity" stuff. I don't claim to be a prophet, but the prophets didn't have "good" messages either and were hated. I guess it is just human nature when someone points out things that you would rather not think about or have to deal with.

there is a difference in telling us about the giants in teh land, and calling us to repentance for sinful lives.

Rambo when did she call for repentance I must have missed that.

she didn't. she has been posting "giants" of the land. the OT prophets (that she referred to as being "hated") - did call for repentance.

Karen,

You are sadly mistaken if you think that I'm a "feel good, prosperity" type. I'm a realist. I try to live every day as if our Lord would return on that day, but I will not be duped by the rantings of an "End Timer." Yes, I feel good! Why shouldn't I, God has blessed me, and I thank Him for that. I in turn try to bless those around me. As for prosperity, God has provided me with the ability to meet my own needs, and I praise Him for that.

Karen you cannot "scare" someone into salvation. That doesn't work. You show them salvation and then let the Holy Spirit do it's work in them. The Kingdom would be better served if you would lose the "Doom and Gloom" approach, and instead show the love of Christ.
