Cell Phone Vs. The Bible
Cell Phone vs. Bible
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible
like we treat our cell phones.
What if we carried it around in our
purses or pockets
What if we turned back to go get it
if we forgot it
What if we flipped through it
several times a day
What if we used it to receive messages
from the text
What if we treated it like we couldn't
live without it
What if we gave it to kids as gifts
What if we used it as we traveled
What if we used it in case of
an emergency
Its just something to think about
Something to make you say hmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
and where is my Bible?

----RECEIVED IN AN EMAIL SOMETIME BACK.
What's really happening in our world today?
I RECEIVED THIS IN AN EMAIL SOME TIME BACK AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU. ENJOY AND PASS IT ON!
One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan went to visit Jesus in the Garden of Eden, and Satan came all happy and boasting. (Lk 4: 1-12; Job 1: 6-12)
"Yes, Lord, now I have everybody captive, (well nearly everybody down there). I set traps, I used the baits of temptation, I know well what each one of them can't resist. I nearly caught them all!" (I Pet 5: 8-9; Eph 6: 10-17)
"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked. and He was praying to God the Father. Satan answered "Oh, I am going to have some fun with them!" I'll make them divorce after they have married so the foundation of humanity will never be able to be established "the family" (Mt 19: 4-6; Mal 2: 16)
I will make them hate each other and abuse each other, make them fall into alcohol and drugs without control. (Rom 13: 12-14)
I will teach them to make weapons and bombs, so they kill each other "I am really going to have fun!" "And when you are tired of playing with them, what will you do?" Jesus asked. And continued praying "Oh, I will kill them all and their souls will be mine forever" "Lord by all respect, it's their decision" (I Jn 3: 8-10)
"How much do you want for all of them?" Jesus asked. "Oh, you can't want these people. They aren't anything good. Why do you want them if they neither follow you nor love you? Many hate you! I have seen many of them spitting on you, cursing you and even denying you." "What's more, they love me a lot" (Mt 24: 10-13)
"You don't want these people!!" "How much?" Jesus asked again Satan looked at him with a nasty face "All your tears and all your blood, all the pain of the entire world, all together" (Is 53: 4-10; I Pet 2: 24)
Jesus said..."DONE" "and He paid the price" (II Cor 5: 21)
How terrible it is that people don't seek for God, and then ask themselves why the world is going to hell! How terrible that we seek the newspaper everyday to read tragedies and we never seek the Bible How insensible it is how everybody wants to go to heaven, thinking they can get there without having to believe, without loving God above all things, or doing what the Bible says...the Laws of God. It is terrible how some people can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (Who as matter of fact, does fear God) (II Tim 4: 3-4; II Jn 1: 7-11)
Don't you think it's pathetic how they send each other thousands of jokes by email, so they spread like plagues. But when it's about the Lord's messages, we think about it twice before we share them; and we leave the mailboxes of our friends without this message Don't you think it is outrageous that the obscene, vulgar and crude is allowed freely to pass through the internet that even many people would desire to get into the screen. But it is forbidden to speak publicly about Jesus in the schools, places of work self-helping groups, etc... (Acts 4: 19-20)
Even after knowing what He did for us. Because the Romans didn't kill Him. It was our sin. that we may be forgiven and know Him in His glory with the Father. Doesn't it seem incredible to you how somebody can be alight on Sabbath in the Church, worshipping and thanking the Lord for His mercy, for one more day to live etc. But during the rest of the week he is an invisible Christian! (II Tim 3: 1-5; Rom 10: 9-13)
Does this seem just to you? Don't let Satan stop you sending this Mail to all your contacts on the Web, It doesn't matter if he tells you that many don't believe this Don't let him get through with his plans! Stop worrying what the others may think about you It is time to worry about what "God thinks about you" Please brother and sister, pass it on? "I already did it" May God bless you always (II Cor 13: 13)

Rules from God for 2007
1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day. "Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms 118:24
2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7
3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3
4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything... "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10 5. Look Up !!... To the Lord. "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 6. Reach Up !!... For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6 7. Lift Up !!... Your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6
