Modern man does not like to think of God in terms of wrath, anger and judgment. He likes to make God according to his own ideas and give God the characteristics he wants Him to possess. Man tries to remake God to conform to his own wishful thinking, so that he can make himself comfortable in his sins.
This modern god has the attributes of love, mercy and forgiveness, but is without justice. Man doesn’t want to be judged and punished for sin. He “reconstructs” God along the lines of tolerance, all-embracing love and universal goodwill.
In this picture of God, there are no laws that demand absolute obedience and no standards to which man must adhere.
The Psalmist said: “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes” (Psalm 19:7-8).
The Bible warns that “evil men do not understand justice” (Proverbs 28:5).The Bible declares that God is a God of judgment, wrath and anger. Time after time Jesus warned of judgment: “Every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment” (Matthew 12:36).
The author of the Book of Hebrews wrote, “It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
Life is passing fast for all of us. It won’t be long until we stand before God to give an account of how we have lived in this life. Are you prepared?
You ask, “What do I have to do to prepare?” The Bible says that you must repent of your sins. Jesus said, “Unless you repent you will … perish” (Luke 13:3). Second, you must receive Christ as your Lord and Savior.
I woke up today with this song of worship. What an incredible message! I just thought that we have rely to God every single day as if nothing has been done by Him. As we are breezing to our daily activities, quite often we rush and forget the most important details and that is, thanking God that we are alive and well!
As high as the heavens
Are above the earth
So high are your ways to mine
Ways so perfect they never fail me
I know you are good all the time
And through the storm
Yet I will praise you
Despite it all Yet I will sing
Through good and bad
Yet I will worship
For you remain the same King of kings
Chorus
You are the voice of hope
The anchor of my soul
Where there seems to be no way
You make it possible
You are the prince of peace
Amidst adversity
My lips will shout for joy
To you the most high
Verse 2
You were the one Before time began
There’s nothing beyond your controll
My confidence My assurence
rest in your unchanging world
And through the storm
Yet I will praise you
Despite it all Yet I will sing
Through good and bad
Yet I will worship
For you remain the same King of kings
Chorus

We lose our way, We get back up again
It’s never too late to get back up again,
One day you will shine again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
Lose our way, We get back up again,
So get up, get up, You gonna shine again,
Never too late to get back up again,
You may be knocked down, But not out forever!

“Prayer is the most powerful resource we have in this life. May we as followers of Christ and citizens of the United States humble ourselves before the only One who blessed the prayers of our forefathers and showered this land with greatness …
May God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, be once again exalted in our halls of government, in our sanctuaries of worship, and in human hearts that need His healing touch. Join me in prayer for America on Thursday, May 6, 2010 for the National Day of Prayer” —Franklin Graham President and CEO of BGEA and Samaritan’s Purse
The National Day of Prayer was signed into law as a national observance in 1952 by President Harry Truman. Since then, Americans from multiple backgrounds have been overcoming differences to join together and pray for our nation.
This year, as the 59th observance is marked on May 6, Franklin Graham will join Shirley Dobson, National Day of Prayer Chairman, in Washington, D.C. to urge people all over the United States to intercede on behalf of our country.
The late Dr Adrian Rogers, preacher/teacher of Love Worth Finding Ministries, wrote this article that I want to share to all Behind Crossroads readers. I hope you will find it inspiring. Be blessed.
“If you believe the Bible, you know that God is a miracle-working God. And God is not limited in any degree nor any respect. He is totally sovereign. So, we can believe in miracles, but don’t put your faith in miracles. Put your faith and your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let’s look at the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand as recorded in John 6. Great multitudes were following Jesus at that time, but why? John 6:2 gives us the answer, “And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on them that were diseased.” People do that today, do they not? Now I want you to see three things about moving beyond miracles and on to Jesus.
There Is No Problem Too Big For Jesus To Solve
Do you have a problem today? Read John 6:1-14. There was a monumental problem that day – 5,000 hungry people and hardly a bite of food! Jesus said to Philip, “Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” And Philip answered, “Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.”
Now why did Jesus ask Philip where they were going to buy bread? Was it because Jesus was seeking advice? No, John says that Jesus knew what He was going to do. Was He trying to learn something about Philip? No, He already knew all about him. Jesus wanted Philip to gain some insight into himself. Philip calculated the cost of feeding the people, but he left Jesus out of the equation. You may have a very serious problem. Take that problem and double it. Now, double it again. Now, I want to ask you a question. Is it too big for God? Of course not. He is the Lord. The first part of Genesis 18:14 says, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?” Put this down big, plain, and straight. There is no problem too big for Jesus to solve. Do you believe that? I hope you do.
There Is No Person Too Small For Jesus To Use
When Jesus solves problems, He uses people. Who was the person Jesus used in the miracle recorded in John 6? A little lad. Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother found someone, “There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?” (John 6:9).
Here was a little lad and a little lunch. Meager in quantity, meager in quality, but the Lord Jesus blessed and fed the multitude with this little lad’s lunch. And Jesus is blessing and feeding you and me today, two thousand years later.
Do you think this little lad went away hungry? When he gave it all to the Lord Jesus, then Jesus gave back to him. You cannot “out-give” God. Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
God is not asking you to give what you don’t have, He’s asking you to give what you do have. God specializes in doing extraordinary things with ordinary people. You may be too big for God to use but you’ll never be to small for God to use!
There Is No Hunger Too Deep For Jesus To Satisfy
After Jesus fed the five thousand, He gave the message in the miracle – to go beyond the miracle and on to Himself. Open your Bible and read John 6:22-65.
Jesus said the only reason they wanted Him was because of the bread and the fish. In John 6:27, He gives them a command, “Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed” (italics mine).
Then said they to Him, “What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?” (John 6:28). Jesus answered, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent” (John 6:29). This is what it’s all about. That we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, “I am the Bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst” (John 6:35). Here is the message in the miracle. Jesus. You should seek nothing more, you should settle for nothing less.
You need Jesus – not some creed, code, or cause. You don’t go beyond Jesus. You may go deeper into Jesus, but you’ll never go beyond Jesus. The table is set. Come and dine.”
