"The peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 4:7)
"There is a part
of the sea known as 'the cushion of the sea'. It lies beneath the surface that is agitated by storms and churned by the wind.
It is so deep that it is a part of the sea that is never stirred. When the ocean floor in these deep places is dredged of
the remains of plant or animal life, it reveals evidence of having remained completely undisturbed for hundreds, if not thousands,
of years.
The peace of God is an eternal calm like the cushion of the sea. It lies so deeply within the human heart that
no external difficulty or disturbance can reach it. And anyone who enters the presence of God becomes a partaker of that undisturbed
and undisturbable calm."
(Arthur Tappan Pierson - Streams In The Desert)

"Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." (Ephesians 3:20)

A Gentle Lamb" - Max Lucado
(from Grace For The Moment):
"Where
God's love is, there is no fear,
because God's perfect love drives out fear."
(I John 4:18) (New Century Version Bible)
"A lot of us live with a hidden fear that God is angry
at us. Somewhere, sometime, some Sunday school class
or
some television show convinced us that God has a
whip behind His back, a paddle in His back pocket, and
He's going
to nail us when we've gone too far.
No concept could be more wrong! Our Savior's Father
is very fond of us and only
wants to share His love
with us.
We have a Father who is filled with compassion, a
feeling Father who hurts when
His children hurt.
We serve a God who says that even when we're under
pressure and feel like nothing is going to go
right, He is waiting for us, to embrace us whether
we succeed or fail.
He doesn't come quarreling and wrangling
and forcing
His way into anyone's heart. He comes into our
hearts like a gentle lamb, not a roaring lion."

"One of the basic desires of the
soul is to
live on and on. Self-preservation is the
first law of nature. People may grow tired
of aches and pains
and the decrepitude of
old age, but they do not grow tired of life
itself. God has arranged to satisfy this
yearning
of the soul to live forever, and
the desire to be free from pain and sickness
and trouble. People are little creatures
with big capacities, finite beings with
infinite desires, deserving nothing but
demanding all. God made people
with this
huge capacity and desire in order that He
might come in and completely satisfy that
desire. God made
the human heart so big
that only He can fill it. He made it
demand so much that only He can supply
that demand...Jesus
Christ is the only
one who holds the keys of death. In His
death and resurrection He took the sting
out of death,
and now God offers eternal
life to every person who puts his trust
and faith in His Son Jesus Christ."

THE RETURN OF JESUS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"And then at last, the sign of the coming of the Son of Man will
appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the nations of the earth. And they will see the Son
of Man arrive on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with the sound of
a mighty trumpet blast, and they will gather together His chosen ones from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven."
(Matthew 24:30-31)
"The nations of the earth will mourn because unbelievers will
suddenly realize that they have chosen the wrong side. Everything they have scoffed about will be happening, and it
will be too late for them."
"Heaven and earth will disappear, but My words will remain forever."
"However, no one knows the day or the hour when these things will
happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son Himself. Only the Father knows."
"When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in the Noah's
day. In those days before the Flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time
Noah entered his boat. People didn't realize what was going to happen until the Flood came and swept them all away.
That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes."
"Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken,
the other left. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. So be prepared,
because you don't know what day your Lord is coming."
"Know this: A homeowner who knew exactly when a burglar was
coming would stay alert and not permit the house to be broken into. You also must be ready all the time. For the
Son of Man will come when least expected." (Matthew 24:35-44)
"It is good that we don't know exactly when Christ will return.
If we knew the precise date, we might be tempted to be lazy in our work for Christ. Christ's second coming will be swift
and sudden. There will be no opportunity for last-minute repentance or bargaining. The choice we have already
made will determine our eternal destiny."
"Be dressed for service and well prepared, as though you were waiting
for your Master to return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let Him in the moment
He arrives and knocks. There will be special favor for those who are ready and waiting for His return. I tell
you, He Himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat! He may come in the middle of the
night or just before dawn. But whenever He comes, there will be special favor for His servants who are ready!
"Know this: A homeowner who knew exactly when a burglar was
coming would not permit the house to be broken into. You must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when
least expected." (Luke 12:35-40)
"Jesus repeatedly said that He would leave this world but would
return at some future time. He also said that a kingdom is being prepared for His followers. Many Greeks envisioned
this as a heavenly, idealized spiritual kingdom. Jews - like Isaiah and John, the writer of Revelation - saw it was
a restored earthly kingdom."
"See, I am coming soon, and my reward is with Me, to repay all
according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
"I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this message for the
churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to His throne. I am the bright morning star." (Revelation
22:12-13, 16)
"Jesus is both David's 'source' and 'heir'. Jesus, who
is one with the Creator of all, existed long before David. As a human, however, He was one of David's direct descendants.
As the Messiah, He is the 'bright morning star', the light of salvation to all."
