NUMBERS 32:23 " ...... : AND BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT. "

WRITER'S COMMENT:
As you listen up and I lay it on the line for you folk's, you will find the above scripture being repeated: " ..... : AND BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT. " If the Bible is GOD'S INFALLIBLE WORD, as we believe it to be, and since God is a all knowing God, he then knew from the beginning that He was going to use the Bible for the instructions to man and the main instrument in his redemption, so why should it be so difficult to believe that God himself, co-equal with His creation of man, that he gave to man the germ and nucleus of the WORD ? That would set the example to follow, of man's life here on earth and also in eternity !

~ A FACT TO PONDER ON ! ~
The Old Testament is an account of a Nation;
The New Testament is an account of Man.
The Nation was founded and nurtured of God to bring Man into the world.
And to know, and Love and follow Christ ! He is the center and heart of the Bible, the center and heart of History, is the center and heart of Our Lives. Our Eternal Destiny is in His Hand. Folk's, our acceptance, or rejection of Him, determines, for each of us, Eternal Glory, or Eternal Ruin; Heaven or Hell; One, or the other, there is no second chance or choice !

~ THE TRUE FACTS ABOUT JESUS ~

His appearance on the earth is the Central Event of all history. The Old Testament sets the stage for it.
The New Testament describes it:
{1} THEN :
As a man, He lived the most strangly Beautiful Life ever known. He was the Kindest, Tenderest, Gentlest, Most Patient, Most Sympathetic man that ever lived. HeLOVED people, He hated to see people in trouble. He loved to forgive. He loved to Help. He wrought marvelous miracles to feed those who were hungry. For relieving the Suffering He forgot to take food for himself. Multitudes, weary, pain-ridden, and heart-sick, came to Him, and found healing and relief. It is said of Him, and of no other, that if all the deeds of Kindness, that He did were written, the world could not contain the book's. This, Folk's, is the kind of man Jesus was. That is the kind of Person, the God we serve is !

{2} THEN :
He Died, on the Cross, to take away the sin of the world, to become the Redeemer and Saviour of all man-kind.

{3} THEN :
He Rose from the Dead, and is Alive Now ! Not merely an historical character, but a Living Person. The Most Important Fact of History, and Most vital Force in the world today. The Word of God, the Holy Bible is builded around this Beautiful Story of Christ, and His promise of Eternal Life to those who Accept Him. And the Bible was written only that men might Believe, and Understand and Know, and Love, and Follow Him !

HIS COMMENT :
After listening to Pastor Bill speak and reading some of his writings, I have to conclude that he has a great talent of holding the attention of a audience, and speaks right to the point of the subject matter.
P.S. You may wonder why I have such a big smile on my face, it is because I was paid to make this comment.

I CORINTHIANS 14:15 ~ " What is it then ? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. "

~ THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL ! ~

The story has been told around, about the four teen age boys in a Phoenix school that cut class one morning in the middle of the week. They finally showed up at noon. Their explanation was that they had a flat tire. The teacher said, " That's O. K. boys, you did miss a test, but you can make it up right now on your lunch break. " With this she proceeded to seat each of the boys in one of the four corners of the class room and gave them each just a one question test.
" Which tire was flat ? "

AND BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT !

~ A HONEST STORE CLERK ? ~
OR A DEFECTIVE SCALE ?

The story was told about a certain lady, who lived in a small town and was preparing to entertain some of her city guests, so she went over too the local country store to buy some food. She went to the back of the store to the meet counter and aske the clerk for a large chicken. He reached down into the cold storage bin of the meat compartment, grabbed the last chicken he had, and placed it on the scale. " This one weighs four and a half pounds, ma'am, " he said. " I'm not sure that will be enough, " the lady replied. " Don't you have a bigger one ? " The clerk then put the chicken back into the cold storage bin, pretended to search through the melting ice for another one, and then brought out the same chicken, discretely applying some finger presure to the scale. " Ah, " he said with a big smile on his face. " This one weighs six and a half pounds. " I'm not sure, " the woman said as she gave a little frown. I'll tell you what, I'll take both of them ! "

AND BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT !

~ DON'T EVEN THINK OF A RECONCILIATION ! ~

Here is a story that is told about a soldier that was overseas, and he received a " DEAR JOHN " letter from his girlfriend, which told him that she was breaking off their engagement and asking that he return her photograph. This news made him very annoyed and very upset, so he ask around the barracks, to all of his buddys that they would gather all of their unwanted photographs of women they had. He then bundle all of those photographs together and mailed them to her with a note that said:
" Regret that I cannot remember which one of these girls is you. So would you please pick out your photo and return to me all the others. "

AND BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT !

~ IS IT THE THOUGHT ? ~
OR
~ IS IT THE GIFT ? ~

There is a story going around about a very frugal man who was looking for a gift for a very close dear friend. Everything was way too expensive except for a glass vase that had been broken in the store, which he could purchase for almost nothing. He asked the store clerk to send it, hoping his close dear friend would think it had been broken in transit.
In due time of several days, he received an acknowledgement. " Thanks for the glass vase, " it read. " It was so thoughtful of you to wrap each piece separately. "

AND BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT !

~ THERE ARE EVEN HEN CHICKENS ~
THAT SOMETIMES
HAVE TO LAY IT ON THE LINE !

Let me tell you a story about a conversation which took place in a chicken coop, down at farmer Brown's. Early one morning the hen said to the rooster, " I'm going to do something that;s never been done before. I'm going to lay an egg in the rafters above ! " The rooster said, " I'm very sorry but it has already been done. " well, then, the hen said, " I'm going to lay an egg on the roof top of the farmer Brown's house. " Again the rooster replied, " Too late, it's already been done. Well, then the hen said, looking all around, " I'm going to leave this chicken coop and run out there on that busy interstate highway and there lay my egg. " Well then the rooster really shouted, " Then go ahead, but you better lay it on the line and be quick about it ! "

AND BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT !

Well I'm no hen chicken, but being the  that I am,

" LET ME LAY IT ON THE LINE " for you folk's  
Have you noticed your sin always finds you out ? You might say: " Well Pastor Bill, what does it mean for someone's sin to find them out ? " Well, here's what it means in plain old Bible language: JAMES 1:14 ~ " But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. " V:15 ~ " Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. " V:16 ~ " Do not err, my beloved brethren. "

Sin, Folk's, is a powerful darkness. It tortures the conscience of man and destroys self confidence in a good life here on this earth and a better life after death. Sin, to put it very blunt, messes up not only our hope and future, but it also robs us of our joy. If our sin continues, it will take us straight to a burning hell ! Again I say to you : " LET ME LAY IT ON THE LINE " for you folk's, JESUS CHRIST is your only hope of ETERNAL LIFE. I'll tell you this, without Him, you'll split hell wide open. Remember this : Jesus is God, and He is the Alpha and Omega. The First and the Last. The Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, which is and which was, and which is to come, The Almighty. { Revelation 1:8 }
So Folk's ! Right now is the time to repent of your sins, turn your life completely over to JESUS CHRIST. allow Him and the power of the HOLY GHOST to guid and direct your life, free from old sins. If not, you can be sure that your sins will find you out.
NUMBERS 32: 23 ~ " ...... : and be sure your sin will find you out. "
Folk's let me sum it all up for you ! Jesus is coming soon and you need to be ready to meet Him ! There is a lot of folk's that go down to the dock to meet the boat, but are not ready to go on board, so the boat pulls out with out them and they miss the boat completely, I trust you will be ready ?
God's Word declares : I CORINTHIANS 1:7 ~ " So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: "
I THESSALONIANS 3:13 ~ " To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. "
JAMES 5:8 ~ " Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. "

Well, you have heard me " crowing "  on all of the above matters and gospel facts
now in one final plea ! Here is, as Paul Harvey would say :
" THE REST OF THE STORY ! " as GOD'S WORD
" LAYS IT ON THE LINE " for you folk's  

II PETER 3:1 ~ " This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance : "
V:2 ~ " That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the comandant of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: "
V:3 ~ " Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, "
V:4 ~ " And saying, Where is the promise of his coming ? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were fron the brginning of the creation. "
V:5 ~ " For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water. "
V:6 ~ Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. "
V:7 ~ But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men. "
V:8 ~ " But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. "
V:9 ~ the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. "
V:10 ~ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with a fervent heat, and the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. "
V:11 ~ " Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, "
V:12 ~ " Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the Day of the God, wherin the heavens being on fire shall be disolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat ? "
V;13 ~ Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. "
V:14 ~ Werefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Now if you don't believe in " Fish Story's ! "
Here are some thoughts to ponder:

  • Where did this silly theory of evolution come from ?
  • You do know that evolution is NOT a science, but a religion. 
  • It is a theory using some scientific speculation to attempt to prove it.
  • Actually, at this level the earth, man or even God cannot be proven.
  • So we cannot prove or disprove creation or evolution. ( We were not there when it happened ! )
  • But Praise God, that through faith in Him, those of us that truly believe, don't need proof because we are living proof, even with the un-blief that is in the world today !
  • Romans 1:28  "And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient";
  • ARWIN'S THEORY is nothing but a in his mind and belief, but a man who is born in the image of the EITY ! Will be as God said:
    GENESIS 1:26 " And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:......"
    So be carefull not to embrace Darwin's Theory, because that is refering to God as a monkey, which is " BLASPHEMOUS ! "
    MARK 3:29 " But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of ETERNAL AMNATION: .... "

    NOW PLAYING : ~ " THE KING IS COMING ! " ~
    BY THE STATLER BROTHERS

    Christ's Return

     

    Christ is coming again in like manner
    As the disciples saw Him go.
    He's coming for His blood bought ones
    Who watch and wait below.
    Some would attempt to predict the day,
    But no one knows just when,
    Not even the angels in heaven,
    Much less we mortal men.
    Yet, as we discern the signs of the times,
    We know His return is nigh;
    Our glorious King is coming soon-
    With a shout of the archangel on high.
    The trumpet shall sound from heaven,
    And the dead in Christ shall rise first;
    Then those alive in Him shall be caught up-
    No more suffering, hunger or thirst.
    What a time of rejoicing it will be
    When we meet our Lord in the air,
    Singing hallelujahs - Glory to God,
    Free from all trouble and care.
    We mortals shall put on immortality
    In the twinkling of an eye,
    As we meet The King of Glory-
    At that reunion in the sky.
    Oh, what a glorious day that will be
    When we see His wonderful face....
    We'll praise Him throughout eternity
    For His mercy and His grace.

     

    " For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
    with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
    and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
    Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
    with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:
    and so shall we ever be with the Lord. "
    ( I Thes. 4:16-17 )

God's Promises

 

God never promised there'd be no trouble-
No hardship for you and me,
But He promised to always be with us
Whatever the trial may be.
He never promised sunshine only-
Freedom from storms and rain,
But He promised the difficult times
Would work for our spiritual gain.
He promised to be our Shelter,
And cover us with His hand;
The Rock upon which our feet are planted-
Stability in a weary land.
He promised to be our Light in darkness,
And guide our steps each day;
Our tender loving Comforter
When heartaches come our way.
He promised to be our Teacher,
Revealing His will and plan,
Teaching us to trust Him
When we fail to understand.
The lessons we learn through suffering
Qualify us for the Highest Degree,
As we become more like Jesus-
Prepared for eternity.

 

" For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time
are not worthy to be compared with the glory
which shall be revealed in us. "
( Rom. 8:18 )
