"Close Enough"

"When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly." (Psalms 75:2) Maybe this verse could be used to justify believing in a Pretribulation Rapture, yes? I mean, if we believe God will first remove His church before pouring out His wrath upon the earth, then why not? It is what I believe, because it is what God has demonstrated in the past. You don't think we are getting close, then think again; because things are really getting pretty tense in this world, like something really big is about to happen. My advice to anyone who might be listening, or who actually cares, is that you prepare your house for the Kings return! Get your house in order! Those five foolish virgins were simply not prepared for His coming; that's really all is really comes down to. Whether or not they had the filling of the Spirit, or the right relationship; the bottom line is that they did not care enough to prepare to be ready. If your relationship is not right with the Lord, then get right! If your lacking the power of His Spirit in your life, then ask Him to fill you up! Our God is so merciful towards us, He must be waiting for a revival to sweep across the globe before He snatches His church out of here, because things could not get more stupid and ridiculous on this earth than they are right now. I saw a headline on Drudge earlier in the week that parents snatched kids baskets from them at a public Easter Egg Hunt; it got so bad, that kids were getting hurt. What the heck is going on? They get your order wrong at McDonald's, and you drive your car through the front door? Someone cuts you off on the freeway, and you drive then off the road, or shot them with a gun? Your parents take your phone away, and kill your parents, or even kill yourself? A gang of six year old kids terrorize people on a subway? Don't blame me, I'm just repeating headlines that I have seen on the Drudge Report lately; but it's much worse than that out there, because that is what happens when you teach people that lives do not matter! What do you think that abortion teaches us the preciousness of human life? Absolutely the opposite! Combine that with the theory that there is no God, and that your life is just by chance, or you are no better than a bug or a dog, because you all came from the same turd, and what kind of principled life do you have to follow? There are no principles except the rules we establish on our own; and rules without God are simply wicked and stupid...
"What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart! They even mock God and say, "Hurry up and do something! We want to see what you can do. Let the Holy One of Israel carry out his plan, for we want to know what it is." What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever. What sorrows for those who are heroes at drinking wine and boast about all the alcohol they can hold. They take bribes to let the wicked go free, and they punish the innocent. Therefore, just as fire licks up stubble and dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will rot and their flowers wither. For they have rejected the law of the LORD of Heaven's Armies; they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 5:18-24) NLT
