" THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD! -



  Faithfulness springs forth 
from the earth,
 and righteousness looks down
from heaven.
 The Lord will indeed
give what is good, 
 and our land will 
yield its harvest.   Psalms  85:11  






       





 The heavens declare 
the "Glory of God".
 The skies proclaim
the works of His hands.
 Day after day 
they pour forth speech,
 Night after night 
they display knowledge.   Psalms  19:1-2   
                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                        






















                                                                  












                                                                      










 I will praise you O Lord, 
with all my heart.
 I will tell of all your wonders.
 I will be glad
and rejoice in you.
 I will sing praise to your name,
O Most High!   Psalms  9:1-2














                                                                                              












                                                                      









  God has provided much proof of His existence. 
  Look around you! 
 Some people may say that science has proven God does not exist: Or, if God does exist, He has just wound up his creation like a watch and left it to tic-toc out, on its own.





















 God has left His Holy Words to mankind in the form of the Holy Bible. God has also planted the proof of His existence into the hearts and minds of individuals.
 People are born with the ability to know right from wrong, and to be able to worship something. (God says that everyone worships something; and because of "SIN", that something, is usually related to people worshiping themselves, or anything, and everything that their finite minds can come up with.)  This ability to worship, is unique only to mankind.  (and of course the angels in heaven).   






                                                                                                                  






 Yes!  God is alive and well, and very much in control on "His Heavenly Throne".  He has provided evidence of "His Holy Existence"; and, also of His undying love for His creation called "mankind". (Those who are created in His Very Own Image).
 He has also given us a "ROAD MAP", with very clear instructions, pointing the way that mankind must take in order to reach "HIM".
 But, mankind refuses to heed to Him, and to "His" one and only way to "Salvation". (There is only "ONE WAY" for a person to enter into the "Gates of Heaven").
  " JESUS CHRIST IS THAT ONE AND ONLY WAY".






  


                                          










 There will be people who will tell you that the idea of "Just One Way" to Salvation is absurd. They will tell you that there are many ways to get to Heaven; or to Bliss; or to The ALL; or to this god, or to that god.
 Please, do not fall into that "TRAP"!
 "LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY": Those who believe in multiple ways of reaching God; or Heaven, will regret the day they were born after they have taken their last breath on this side of life.
 Once the last breath leaves them, (if they are without the saving power of Jesus Christ) it will be "The End Of All Hope" for them. Their willful decision, not to  accept Jesus as "Saviour" will have eternal consequences for them. The price that they will pay is eternal separation from God:  Also, they will spend the rest of that eternal separation in the dark dungeons of Hell. "Hell" will be cast into the "Lake Of Fire".  Everything in the "Lake of Fire" will be burning forever. (Nothing will ever be consumed.)
 You only have  "THIS LIFE TIME"  to depart from the "VERY WIDE" road that is leading you to eternal destruction, and, to the "LAKE OF FIRE".
 You must depart from "THAT ROAD" and take "THE PATH" that leads to the "Eternal Gates" of the "KINGDOM OF HEAVEN" ( "IT'S THE ONE AND ONLY PATH THAT LEADS TO GOD".)  The only way to "THAT PATH" is in "The Son Of God"; The man known as "JESUS CHRIST". Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one will come into the "Kingdom Of Heaven" without HIM! (Because heaven belongs to Jesus. God gave it to Him because of His obedience to God: And those who obey God's calling, and accepts ("HIS GIFT") Jesus, as their "LORD AND SAVIOUR", are heirs to the Kingdom Of Heaven. They become the brothers and sisters of Jesus, (and just like Jesus) they are also  the "CHILDREN OF GOD").
                                                                                         
                                            
                                  
  


                                   




                                                                       

  
  But what does it say?


 "The Word" is near you; 
it is in your mouth and in your heart. 
That is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
That if you confess with your mouth,
Jesus Is Lord, and believe in your heart
that "GOD RAISED HIM" from the dead,
"You Will Be Saved".


 For it is with your heart,
that you believe and are justified,
 And it is with your mouth 
that you confess, and are saved. Romans  10:8-10




 Peace, Joy, and many Blessings to you and yours,

" Who is the greatest in the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN"?

    In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.
  
    Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
  
    In him was "life", and that life was the "light of men". 
   
    The light shines in the darkness but the darkness has not understood it.
  
    He was in the world, and though the world was made by him, the world did not recognize him.
  
    He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
  
    Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become "THE CHILDREN OF GOD"!
    The Gospel of John
     chapter 1,  verses  1-12




















    Then God said  " Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that
move along the ground."

   So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.   Genesis  1: 26, 27.




























   He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 
   And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.  But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.  Matthew  18: 1-6





















 




 


 






  Those who come to the Father in the same way that a child comes to its mother, "are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven".

  A child is totally dependant on its mother to take care of its every need. 
  A child is completely trusting in its mother, for its well being in anything and everything.
  
 That is how one is to come to God.
  
 Those who have a spirit of meekness, and who are willing to humble themselves before God, and to trust Him, in anything and everything, will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

  Do not forget that all children are born in a sinful world, but they are not counted as corrupt.  They are  "innocent". That is until they are corrupted by the sins of the adults, wheather it be directly, or indirectly.
  All children were created in the image of God, and so were you!
They will all be corrupted by the influence of the god of this world.   
 But, "WOE" be unto the people who allow themselves to be used as  instruments to destroy the innocent children, (those who are created in the image of God Himself) and, "WOE" be to those who participate in the destruction of the  "innocense"  of the children of God. 

   
 Only in Jesus is there power to defeat the god of this world.


   The children of this world need "YOU" to protect them from the "Roaring Lion" who is moving to and fro on the earth.(Roaring and "Devouring)
   He is devouring the unborn; and the babies; and the young adults; and the old adults. He is using the adults who belong to him to destroy the children who do not belong to him, ( remember, those who are created in the image of  God Himself ?)
