CHOOSE LIFE

THIS DAY I call Heaven and Earth as Witnesses against you

That I have set before you LIFE and DEATH,

Blessings and Curses.

NOW Choose LIFE, so that you and your Children may LIVE

And that you may Love the Lord your God, Listen to His Voice,

AND HOLD FAST TO HIM.

FOR THE LORD IS YOUR LIFE...

(Deuteronomy 30:19, 20)

There is much talk in Christian Circles about the Gospel'

THE GOOD NEWS!

What God Almighty has said here Encapsulates the Gospel.

There is Good News because otherwise there is Bad News,

VERY BAD NEWS—ETERNALLY BAD NEWS.

We are Born into the Bad News

And this Bad News only changes

By our receiving Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord.

The Unbelieving Word Stands Condemned before the Holy God

And only by receiving Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord

Does this Change.

Do not forget this One Thing, dear Friends:

With the Lord A Day is like a Thousand Years

And a Thousand Years like A Day.

The Lord is not slow in keeping His Promise,

As some understand slowness.

He is Patient with you, Not Wanting Anyone to PERISH,

But Everyone to come to REPENTANCE.

BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME LIKE A THIEF.

The Heavens will Disappear with a Roar;

The Elements will be Destroyed by Fire,

And the Earth and Everything in it will be Laid Bare.

(2 Peter 3:8-10)

Today, each of us is CHOOSING!

The Blessing or the Curse.

NATIONS are Choosing the Blessing or the Curse.

America is Choosing the Blessing or the Curse.

Churches are Choosing the Blessing or the Curse.

Ignorant people and especially Politicians are continually uttering

God Bless America, without understanding what that request means;

Without understanding the Character and Nature of God.

God is Not a Genie, Who indiscriminately bestows Blessings.

The Lord can only Bless Two Things:

REPENTANCE and OBEDIENCE.

The only way a person can be Blessed

Is through Repentance and Obedience.

There is No Other Way.

The same is True for a Nation.

Every person is either Blessed or Cursed

And every Nation is either Blessed or Cursed.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE CAN REPENT

AND BE OBEDIENT AND BE BLESSED.

And this is what God Almighty wants for each of us.
