It's Almost A New Year

Hi everyone,

I hope you have had a good Christmas and will have a blessed New Year. Can you believe it? 2007 is just around the corner. And it seems like just a short time ago we were worrying that all the computers would stop working when 2000 got here.

A lot of changes will take place next year. New technology, new medicines, other discoveries, perhaps a new country will go to war. Only God knows what will take place. As you get ready to enter 2007, what are your thoughts concerning eternity? Everyone of us is going to spend eternity somewhere. The Bible teaches that Jesus will return to the earth soon and take all the Christians to heaven ( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 ). But what about those who are not Christians (those who have not asked Christ into their heart)? What will happen to them? The Bible says they will be left behind and go through the great tribulation. A time when the antichrist will rule the world and people will get a taste of hell.

What are your plans for eternity? Are you ready to die? If this was your last day on earth, would you be ready to die? Some tough questions to consider.

I am not into religion. Religion will not do much for you. It's knowing Christ as your personal Savior that I am into. It's not Buddah, Mohammad, or anyone else that will take you to heaven. It's Jesus and Him only. Read Romans 10:9-10 for directions on how to ask Christ into your life.

God's blessings on you.

'Til the storm passes,

Pastor Gary
