Onward

How nice it feels when things are going pretty Do not you think? No conflict, sickness, debt, pain, instability. If you currently go through a good time in life, I'm happy for you, but welfare is not it time to stumble? In some cases it is. I know people who approach the Lord when they go wrong, but when they do well, away from him, then they go wrong again and approach the Lord, and do get well and go ... is not to finish.

I do not know what your situation at the moment, perhaps a quiet boom, or a tempestuous storm "shake your boat" (Your heart) on one side to another. The best we can do is stay close to the Lord, serving Him faithfully, no doubt or just for a millisecond of his promises or his protective and comforting presence. Do you work-health-family, etc..? thank God. Have you lost your job, health, family, etc? the answer is the same.

The faithful followers of Christ we are circumstantial - cry? mmm, now and then - Are we discouraged? by small lapses "We stressed the problems? at times. The difference is that the source of our strength, security and joy is the Lord himself, therefore, "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, even though no product of the olive, and the carvings do not give maintenance, and the sheep are removed from the flock, and there is no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord and I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength "(Habakkuk 3:17-19)

A SECOND CHANCE

This week came to our website the question: "A person who rejects Jesus Christ today Will a new opportunity to be saved after Christ comes for His church in the rapture (1Tes.4 :13-17)?
The Bible speaks of a time after the abduction called "The Apocalypse", where those who want to be saved should underestimate their lives until death. The scriptures warn that those who reject Christ today, will be easily deceived in those days (2Tes.2: 10). It is best to receive Christ at this present time, and then explain why ...

Jesus Christ has promised to return for his own (John 10:16) and take, take, or take from this world to those who have received and will be found alive when he comes (1Tes.4 :13-17). There will be "those who gather" the assets within the church "to a" religious denomination "X or Y", but those who have received heart as your Lord and Savior by faith (Eph. 2:8-9, John 1:12). We need to understand that this event (The Rapture) is not the second coming of Christ (comes up to the clouds and finds the church of all time, it makes landfall, or manifest to all, can only be manifested to his church .) There are no signs to predict the rapture, however, signs for his second coming (Mt.24 :5-9). Because the rapture will happen before the second coming of Christ, signs of the second coming we say that the rapture is even closer.

After the rapture of the church come seven years of tribulation and trial on the ground (Mt.24 :9-14). Identifies the Antichrist, a world leader who will deceive the nations by establishing a world order that will achieve "peace" for 3 ½ years, then managed to break the covenant that peace and begin a terrible persecution against those who not worship him and do not receive on their foreheads or hands the mark of the beast (666). At the end of the Tribulation, God will intervene with justice on earth, come evil days never before seen on earth (Mt.24 :29-39).

What time can be saved and how those who remain after the rapture? Will have to resist the mark of the beast in the Apocalypse has come upon the earth. By not "marked" may not buy or sell (Ap.13: 17), will be more difficult for those who have a family to support, for pregnant women, etc. Coupled with the fact that they will have to be willing to die rather than receive the mark of the beast (Ap.20: 4) Beheaded!. A death perpetrated by those who reject Israel, Christianity and Jesus Christ. Once you have received the mark of the beast, it was all over for this person is destined to hell.

Therefore, it is better to receive Christ today (If you have not already done). If we are believers and we are confident that we will participate in the glorious meeting of Christ and his church in the clouds when the rapture happens, we share Christ, evangelize to everyone who put us in front. Remember, the Lord could come today.

"He who testifies these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen, so, come Lord Jesus. "
REVELATION 22:20

PD. If you want to know more about it, listen to sermons on Sundays I will be giving 6, 13 and 20 September on the rapture of the church.
