A Letter To Friends

Dear Friends,

The Lord Himself will come down from heaven,
with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel
and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead
in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are
still alive and are left will be caught up together
with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Sincerely,
Paul

P.S. Please see "comments" for more.





Comments:
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4

Ted is an ex-Marine. But I guess once a Marine, always a Marine,
huh? You know - halls of Montezuma, shores of Tripoli, and semper fi. Since
his days in the Corps, Ted's gone on to become very successful in business,
but he keeps getting invited back to talk to Marine recruits to be an
inspirational speaker. And in the process, he tells them about a rescuer who
came for him in the Marines and saved him - Jesus Christ. And I love what he
tells them - "One thing about Marines - we always go back for our own.
That's why I'm here today. I'm going back for my own."

Those Marines really listen to Ted, because he's one of their own.
That's sort of a law of life, isn't it? We tend to listen to our own kind -
maybe when we would listen to no one else. Especially when it comes to the
Rescuer my friend tells the Marines about. More and more, people aren't
going to listen to some "Christian professional" tell them about Jesus -
even though their lives depend on understanding Jesus. It's going to have to
be one of their own ... like you.

Jesus understood that approach to rescuing spiritually dying people.
He used that approach Himself in our word for today from the Word of God.
Jesus has gone into Samaria to reach the Samaritans, and since the Jews and
Samaritans basically couldn't stand each other, how is this Jewish rabbi
going to reach them? He's going to send one of their own to go back and get
her own - even though she is known for her immorality, her relationships
with many men, her string of marriages and divorces.

First, she meets Jesus at a well where she discovers who He really
is. Then, in John 4, beginning with verse 28, the Bible says: "Leaving her
water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 'Come,
see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?' They
came out of the town and made their way toward Him ... Many of the
Samaritans believed in Him because of the woman's testimony..." Well, they
listened to her when she talked about Jesus because she was one of their
own.

That's what makes you so eternally important to your coworkers, your
fellow-students, your neighbors, your teammates - you're one of them.
They'll be more likely to listen to you talking about a personal
relationship with Jesus than to any preacher or evangelist or radio guy.
Well, you may say, "but I'm not trained; I've got a lot of problems; I don't
know enough." Excuse me, but have you thought about the one Jesus sent as
His ambassador to the Samaritans?

See, what qualifies you is two things - you've met Jesus, and you're
one of them. He has placed you where you are not just to get grades or get
paid or get comfy. He's put you there to take some of those people to heaven
with you! How are you doing?

The best one to reach a lost farmer is another farmer ... the best
one to reach a lost mom is another mom ... for a lost teacher, a teacher ...
a lost soccer player, a soccer player ... a lost businessman, a businessman.
And so on. But so many die without ever knowing what Jesus could have done
for them - die without a chance at heaven - because the Christian close to
them never told what they knew. That is a death sentence by silence.

You don't have to tell them about Christianity, about church, about
your religion, about a list of Christian beliefs. Just do what the Samaritan
woman did - stick to Jesus. She just said, "Come, see a Man!" But don't take
them to a well - take them to the Cross and show them how much Jesus loves
them. Their best hope of heaven isn't some outreach program or some great
speaker. Their best hope is you, because you are already there, in their
world. Be a spiritual "Marine." Go back for your own. Don't leave any of
them behind. Ron Hutchcraft

I EAGLE BASE, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Army News Service, May 22, 2002) --
It was raining "cats and dogs," and I was late for physical training. Traffic was
backed up at Fort Campbell, Ky., and was moving way too slowly. I was probably
going to be late and I was growing more and more impatient.

The pace slowed almost to a standstill as I passed Memorial Grove, the site
built to honor the soldiers who died in the Gander airplane crash, the worst r
edeployment accident in the history of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
Because it was close to Memorial Day, a small American flag had been placed
in the ground next to each soldier's memorial plaque.

My concern at the time, however, was getting past the bottleneck, getting out
of the rain and getting to PT on time. All of a sudden, infuriatingly, just as the
traffic was getting started again, the car in front of me stopped. A soldier, a
private of course, jumped out in the pouring rain and ran over toward the grove.

I couldn't believe it! This knucklehead was holding up everyone for who
knows what kind of prank. Horns were honking. I waited to see the ____-
chewing that I wanted him to get for making me late.

He was getting soaked to the skin. His BDUs were plastered to his frame.
I watched as he ran up to one of the memorial plaques, picked up the small
American flag that had fallen to the ground in the wind and the rain, and set
it upright again. Then, slowly, he came to attention, saluted, ran back to his
car, and drove off.

I'll never forget that incident. That soldier, whose name I will never know,
taught me more about duty, honor, and respect than a hundred books or
a thousand lectures.

That simple salute -- that single act of honoring his fallen brother and his flag --
encapsulated all the Army values in one gesture for me. It said, "I will never
forget. I will keep the faith. I will finish the mission. I am an American soldier."

I thank God for examples like that. And on this Memorial Day, I will remember
all those who paid the ultimate price for my freedom, and one private, soaked
to the skin, who honored them.

Capt. John Rasmussen

Verse of the Day



* * * Four Important Things To KNOW: #1) For ALL (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) have sinned & fall short of the glory of God. #2) For the wages of above (see #1) are DEATH (Hell, eternal separation from God, & damnation) but the Gift (free & at no charge to you) of God (Creator, Jehovah, & Trinity) is Eternal Life (Heaven) through (in union with) Jesus Christ (God, Lord, 2nd Person of The Trinity, Messiah, Prince of Peace & Savior of the World). #3) For God so greatly loved & dearly prized the world (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) that He even gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, that whosoever (anyone, anywhere, anytime - while still living) believes (trust in, relies on, clings to, depends completely on) Him shall have eternal (everlasting) life (heaven). #4) Jesus said: "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE. No one (male/female - American, Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Asian, Presbyterian, European, Baptist, Brazilian, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc. ) comes (arrives) to the Father (with GOD in Heaven) EXCEPT BY (through) ME (no other name). *** This wonderful loving GOD gives you the choice - - - (Rev. 3:20) {Please note that church membership, baptism, doing good things, etc. are not requirements for becoming a Christian - however they are great afterwards!!!} *** Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction (Hell, damnation, eternal punishment), and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness, forever with God), and only a few find it.

P U R P O S E
But these are written so that you may
believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the
Son of God, and that by believing in
Him you will have life. Jn 20:31

Seek the Lord while He may be found;
call on Him while He is near. Let the
wicked forsake his way and the evil
man his thoughts. Let him turn to the
Lord, and He will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for He will freely
pardon. "For My thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways
My ways," declares the Lord. "As the
heavens are higher than the earth, so
are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
As the rain and the snow come down
from heaven, and do not return to it
without watering the earth and making
it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed
for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is My word that goes out from My
mouth: It will not return to Me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire and
achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
You will go out in joy and be led forth
in peace; the mountains and hills will
burst into song before you, and all the
trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thornbush will grow the
pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle
will grow. This will be for the Lord's
renown, for an everlasting sign, which
will not be destroyed." Is 55

O Lord, you have searched me and you
know me. You know when I sit and when
I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying
down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know
it completely, O Lord. You hem me in -
behind and before; you have laid your
hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where
can I flee from your presence? If I go up
to the heavens, you are there; if I make
my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide
me and the light become night around
me," even the darkness will not be dark
to you; the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you. For you
created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother's womb. I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know
that full well. My frame was not hidden
from you when I was made in the secret
place. When I was woven together in the
depths of the earth, your eyes saw my
unformed body. All the days ordained
for me were written in your book before
one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts,
O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would
outnumber the grains of sand. When
I awake, I am still with you. Search me,
O God, and know my heart; test me
and know my anxious thoughts. See
if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Ps 139

But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up,
that I may show My power in you, and that My
Name may be declared in all the earth. Ex 9:16


When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
- - Isaac Watts
