"Is this life all there is?"

-Alistair Begg Devotions
 *

..."When God is taken out of the equation, life truly has no meaning...

…read the rest of the Bible and you will discover that you may receive eternal life by trusting in Him who said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6)...

...Only through Jesus will you discover life’s true meaning and find the reason why all is not vanity. 

Only if you remember there is life beyond the grave will you be able to live with joy, and meet with the ups and downs of life with a healthy perspective, on this side of the grave."

Prodigals: Going along with the Crowd

-Yellowstone FB
*

"When a prodigal son wants to follow his appetites, or the latest fashion in idols, he tells himself that he has made a careful evaluation of everything when he is in reality just going along with the crowd. At such time, the last thing he wants to listen to is wise counsel."

-Phillip E. Johnson, The Wedge of Truth

The Choices in Life

-Mountain Blue Bird, Yellowstone FB

They all said it was great.
They all said you’d be cool.

Is this all that you thought it would be?
Now you see who’s a fool.

What you see is what you get!
So you better make sure that it’s heaven sent…

All the things that you see and hear…
they’ll come back to you.

So be careful what you choose.
There’s some things you’ll never lose.

…Stick it in your mind…
It’s going to stay right there in your heart.

Sooner or later it’s a matter of fact.
What you see is how you’ll act.

Even if it all fades from you.
It will come back to you.

So be careful what you choose…
‘Cause some things you’ll never lose.

You stick it in your mind…
It’s going to stay right there in your heart.

1John 2:15-17

…“Do not love the world nor 
the things in the world. 

If anyone loves the world, 
the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, 
the lust of the flesh and 
the lust of the eyes and 
the boastful pride of life, 
is not from the Father, 
but is from the world.

The world is passing away, and also its lusts; 
but the one who does the will of God lives forever.”…

What have you been doing which has hurt the LORD? 

You may have deeply hurt others, but this also deeply hurts the LORD. 

Do what is right! Turn around, change your life, and lovingly apologize to those you have hurt and damaged.

Glorify the LORD with your repentance!
