Turn or Burn.

You may have hang-ups that the Christian God can't or won't forgive you for such and such a sin. You may sometimes feel and know that a moral God has to send such an awful sinner like you to Hell for your many immorality - you're right.
You might even be a Christian who has commited so many sins that you no longer think there's any Blood left to cleanse you this time.
You may be thinking God is tired and done with you for confessing and repenting of this sin for the hundred plus one time.
I have this Word for your consideration before you give up.
Isaiah 21.11,12 - this is God's message to Edom (this is where you put your name):
Someone from among you keeps calling (the fact that you call means there's mercy for a sinner like you), calling to me: "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? How much time is left?" The watchman replies, "Your judgement day is dawning now. Turn again to God, so that I can give you better news. Seek for Him, then come and ask again!"
You may ask what's so special about this, let me tell you. Edom, the original recipients of this message had sinned beyound sin. They had insulted the Most High, broken every command He's made, and hated all them that love God, yet God had mercy for them who will come to Him. Don't forget Edom was the nation that God hated even before its founder was born.
The God who asked Edom to turn from sin is the same God saying to you "if you'll only give up on self and give up to Me I will save you. If you will only turn from looking at your sins and look to Me you'll find mercy."
There's hope for you. There's mercy for you. Your wondering if God can forgive you is the Voice of God calling you to the Cross. You don't have to wonder again if the sinners prayer you said was effective, all you need to do is repent and seek the LORD. Your sins can be forgiven. You can have peace with God and yourself.
The message has always been "YOUR JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING: TURN AGAIN TO GOD." "REPENT OR PERISH." "TURN OR BURN."

C. S. Lewis compared humankind to small children living in the slums and making mud castles; and refusing to go to the beach for they couldn't imagine a water body so large and sand so plentiful. He was talking about how man gets satisfied with mediocre and silly things when God has more to offer. He believed that the end of man and all being is the glory of God.                               I too believe so and I'll do my literary mentor proud by comparing the Ghanaian Church to a drowning man who is crying because his new shoes are wet. We have no conception of the task placed on us so we worry about inconsequential and mundane things that we can't take to eternity.                            ...

Wild but True Thoughts

Just some thoughts. 1. God can do whatever He damn well pleases and He damn well can damn all if He damn well pleases. 2. God never says ouch! or oops! 3. 20th century popular Christianity makes God the only Lord who has no power to make His subjects do anything. 4. Revivals happen when people see God. 5. God is alive. People die. God was alive when the universe burst into existence, God was alive when Socrates drank his poison, God will be alive when all reading this are dead. God is alive. 6. God is on His Throne. He isn't frantic or nervous. He isn't busy. 7. Many people have 'entered' the narrow gate are walking into Hell for they are not walking the narrow way. 8. There is no big man of God. There are only puny small men of a BIG GOD. 9. God rules all that is. 10. You need to serve God even if you will be sick till death; poorer than a Church mouse; be so persecuted you'll wish for a thousand deaths; or He even promises to send you to Hell for He is w...

Our Holy God Purges; Therefore It Will Come Out in His Fire

In Deuteronomy chapter 4 we find the phrase “ the Lord is a consuming fire .”  In that book the Lord had given His chosen people a law to obey. A law that was to save them, a law to enrich them, a law to make them inGodded, a law to make them the best of what a human can be. He gave them this law for he wanted a called-out people, a people who are counter culture, a people who are holy. After he had given his laws, he added the words “ I am a consuming fire and I am a jealous God therefore I will burn out against you if you do not follow my law .” In previous chapters, the writer gives the believer so much positive motivation to follow and obey Christ; you’ll think he’ll have no nee of negative motivation. Yet he talks of judgement and wrath. Take a look at some of the reasons he gives to help us stay faithful.  Remember that this time we are in the New Testament. The Old Testament was a ‘come and see’ religion. In the Old they had a written law on parchments that when di...
