Heed the Warnings!!

The driver of a new expensive car drove onto a busy highway without being aware that he had entered by the wrong direction. As the cars approached him, his fear and concern did not change because he convinced himself that he was right and the oncoming cars were in the wrong. Several drivers were able to miss hitting him, but the driver of a tractor-trailer could not. Eventually, the self-assured individual died. His death was the result of his failure to follow the warning signs given him.

God gives us several signs of warning! Failure to heed them will result in trouble.

Psalm 25:1-2 "Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee, Let me not be ashamed; Let not mine enemies triumph over me."

Unless there is within us that which is above us, we shall soon yield to that which is about us.

Have a good day!
Love,
Dad


Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them. (John 12:35-36)

If you do not heed His warnings to believe while the Light is among you, He will hid himself from you and leave you to your darkness...for eternity.

Signs & Wonders

"Except you see signs and wonders, ye will not believe" John 4:48

A craving after marvels was a symptom of the sickly state of men's minds in our Lord's day; they refused solid nourishment, and pined after mere wonder. The gospel which they so greatly needed they would not have; the miracles which Jesus did not always choose to give they eagerly demanded. Many nowadays must see signs and wonders, or they will not believe. Some have said in their heart, "I must feel deep horror of soul, or I never will believe in Jesus." But what if you never should feel it, as probably you never may? Will you go to hell out of spite against God, because He will not treat you like another? One has said to himself, "If I had a dream, or if I could feel a sudden shock of I know not what, then I would believe." Thus you undeserving mortals dream that my Lord is to be dictated to by you! You are beggars at His gate, asking for mercy, and you must needs to draw up rules and regulations as to how He shall give that mercy. Think you that he will submit to this? My Master is of a generous spirit, but He has a right royal heart, he spurns all dictation, and maintains his sovereignty of action. Why, dear reader, if such be your case, do you crave for signs and wonders? Is not the gospel its own sign and wonder? Is not this a miracle of miracles, that "God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him might not perish?" Surely that precious word, "Whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely" and that solemn promise, "Him that cometh unto Me, I will in nowise cast out," are better than signs and wonders! A truthful Saviour ought to be believed. He is truth itself. Why will you ask proof of the veracity of one who cannot lie? The devils themselves declare Him to be the Son of God; will you mistrust Him?
