Called By Christ To Be ONE: A REMEMBRANCE OF DEATH

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

A Remembrance Of Death

What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave?
— Psalm 89:48

Tonight we say goodbye to the old year and usher in the new.

It’s a special time of reflection and tradition, and perhaps tonight you’ll engage in your own celebration as this year passes into the next.

Perhaps you’ll look back on favorite memories of the past year and anticipate some new adventures in the year to come.

But many will spend their New Year’s Eve getting drunk.

Have you ever wondered why so many people feel the need to do that? Think about it. Is it just a tradition? Or is it something more?

Perhaps the Romans of old knew. They had a phrase for it: momentomori, a “remembrance of death.”

The old year is frequently pictured in art as a doddering old man staggering his way into oblivion.

If you think about it, the picture is quite fitting.

The Bible tells us that Satan has held the whole world in bondage through the fear of death.

With that truth in mind, I can realize why the unregenerate, who have never been delivered from that fear, who do not have the blessed assurance of eternal life, feel the need to get drunk.

If another year’s passing brings them that much closer to death, it’s no wonder they want to obliterate that reality with alcohol.

It is really ironic, for the whole world prides itself on its realism and chides Christians for believing in “fairy tales.”

Some realists! These people can’t face the greatest reality that every human being must inevitably face: the fact of death.

But that doesn’t stop some people from trying.

If we go back to 300 B.C., we find the hedonist philosopher, Epicurus, who said that death doesn’t concern us, for as long as we exist, death is not here, and when death comes, we no longer exist.

But that isn’t so.

We cannot remove death through philosophy, science, or medicine.

It is only in Christ that our mortality ceases to be frightening.

For only in Him do we know what awaits us after death or, more accurately, Who awaits us after death.

Christians can echo the apostle Paul:

“To live is Christ; to die is gain!”

Tonight, as you say goodbye to an old year and usher in a new one, rejoice that you’re one year closer to meeting our Father in heaven.

Death’s door holds no fear for you; you’re on your way to eternal life united with Christ.

Now that’s something to celebrate!

Not what we call death, but what [is] beyond death is…[what]…we fear.— T.S.ELIOT
