During the Last Days, One’s Outlook on Life Will Determine Where One Spends His Future

OUTLOOK

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
–Proverbs 3:5

Regardless of HOW MUCH thought the reader has invested in this point, one’s outlook on life determines how one will spend his future during the last days.

In case there is ANY question, here is EXACTLY what that means.

One either believes that God controls every minuscule detail of His creation and COMPLETELY trusts the Creator of ALL to make everything right in the end OR one places his hopes and faith for the future in the systems and schemes of man.

“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.”
–Psalm 56:3-4

Regardless of HOW MANY times those schemes have disappointed the expectations of their adherents, there will STILL be PLENTY of people who choose the imperfections of man over the PERFECT power of God.

NOW, it is realized that a person’s choice will be sometimes made YEARS earlier and will be based on what that person has experienced over the years.

That person’s choice will also be made based on his beliefs, which are influenced by what that person has been told from an early age.

BUT THAT ALL MATTERS LITTLE.

Folks will either choose that which they KNOW has repeatedly FAILED them over the years (and which they have sad memories of the failed letdowns experienced) OR they will choose to place their trust in God Almighty, the One who created ALL of what surrounds them.

IF one waits to make the decision until times are rough, then one has waited too long.

A person THEN will have enough on his plate to handle: the time to make the decision is NOW, BEFORE times begin to unravel.

CHOOSE GOD, the Maker of ALL.

The reader will be glad he did.

“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.”
–Proverbs 28:26

HAS the reader ever thought he might choosing between God and man?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

The Follower of Jesus is To Avoid Fearfulness At All Times

There is no fear of the Lord

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
–Revelation 21:8

IF one is consumed with FAITH, then FEAR should not be a factor.

The follower of Jesus is human–and humans are susceptible to FEAR.

BUT, the follower of Jesus has his FAITH in Jesus and God to make all things right at the end.

This mitigates FEAR and puts that nameless anxiety in its proper place.

God’s Word promises BAD things to BAD people who are FEARFUL.

“If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD”
–Deuteronomy 28:58

DO NOT BE FEARFUL.

Have faith instead.

Have faith in the one who created all and who controls all He created.

FAITH NOT FEAR.

FAITH is the reaction of those who do not FEAR.

The follower of Jesus is to avoid FEARFULNESS at all times.

DOES the reader feel that worry, anxiety and fear are just natural reactions when bad events happen?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

St Patrick’s Day 2023

ST PATRICK

The day after tomorrow (Friday March 17, 2023) sees the ‘celebration’ of the man elevated by the churches (and the world!) as “St Patrick.”

The story of St Patrick is a familiar one IF the reader has researched those men and women proclaimed to be “SAINTS” by the Catholic Church.

Almost ALL of the proclaimed men and women started their lives as confirmed PAGANS.

The man called ‘St Patrick’ was no different.

Almost ALL of the men and women designated as ‘saints’ are associated with stories of their MIRACULOUS power.

The man called ‘St Patrick’ was no different.

BUT, the stories of the (mysterious!)  MIRACULOUS power of those ‘saints’ were added YEARS after the ‘saint’ died.  In many cases, HUNDREDS of years after the ‘saint’ had passed on, stories appeared which associated the person with MIRACLES!

Patrick was no different.

A FEW of the stories moderns have come to know the man proclaimed as “Saint Patrick” follow.

1- St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland.

But there has NEVER been any record of ANY snakes EVER being in Ireland–either before or after Patrick supposedly drove them out.

From Why Are There No Snakes in Ireland?:

Legend tells of St. Patrick using the power of his faith to drive all of Ireland’s snakes into the sea. It’s an impressive image, but there’s no way it could have happened.

There never were any snakes in Ireland, partly for the same reason that there are no snakes in Hawaii, Iceland, New Zealand, Greenland, or Antarctica: the Emerald Isle is, well, an island.

Once upon a time, Ireland was connected to a larger landmass. But that time was an ice age that kept the land far too chilly for cold-blooded reptiles. As the ice age ended around 10,000 years ago, glaciers melted, pouring even more cold water into the now-impassable expanse between Ireland and its neighbors.

Other animals, like wild boars, lynx, and brown bears, managed to make it across—as did a single reptile: the common lizard. Snakes, however, missed their chance.

As one biologist put it, “Patrick could not have driven the snakes from Ireland because there were NO snakes in Ireland to begin with.”

But the ‘legend’ of St Patrick includes the story of him driving the snakes from Ireland.

2- Patrick wasn’t the ONLY personage associated with the color green.

The color GREEN has LONG been associated with St Patrick.

But he wasn’t the only one linked to green.

Why was the colour green associated with Satan and how did that relationship decline?

Recently my professor explained how in English literature the colour green often represented the devil, he used “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” as an example. He said a contemporary of Fitt would have been aware of this association.

One way modern men and women have ‘celebrated’ the day proclaimed as “St Patrick’s Day” is to indulge in drinking large amounts of beer.

GREEN beer (Actually, beer that has been colored green by adding dye to it).

As is the case with MOST of the pagans-turned-saints, Patrick was proclaimed to be the PATRON SAINT of a country.  In Patrick’s case, it was Ireland.

Drinking intoxicating drink has ALWAYS been frowned upon by God’s Word.

“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
–Proverbs 20:1

“For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.”
–Proverbs 23:21

Because so many Irish immigrated and stayed in the New York City area, that area has FOND MEMORIES of the man called St Patrick.

The largest Catholic Church in the area is named ST PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL and NYC celebrates Patrick with the annual St Patrick’s Day Parade–which usually attracts the attention of all those wanting Irish VOTES for one reason or another.

[This has been ETPR’s 2023 contribution to the man called St Patrick.]

HAS the reader ever devoted much thought to St Patrick or St Patrick’s Day?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
