| Hello Everyone , I am very happy for the oppurtunity to present insight and info ( biblical ) on the above named
topics: Disaster/End-Time Readiness The Laodicean Church The Sick, Hungry, and Broken
I am looking forward to informing, and possibly helping all, as well as being informed and helped.
please bear with me my writing skills are not what they should be, but a lot of what the lord has shown me can
one day (or night!) mean the difference between life and death.
The first subject I would like to present this evening is Emergency Readiness . Two evenings ago there were
devastating tornados across five different states here in the south that has left dozens of people dead and
thousands more homeless and injured. While sitting at a computer here in the library at Oakwood University , a
young woman expressed the fear she had when ciy-wide tornado sirens began to sound the warning blares for
approaching tornadic activity . She said she "did not know what to do" over and over again. She concluded by
saying that she called her sister all the way up in pennsylvania ( A Thousand Miles Away-For Real ) and her
sisters husband talked her through it by informing her of what action to take.
A seventh day adventist only a few days away from a higher degree of learning but did not know what life
preserving action to take in the face of a storm. Something a certain person possibly died for in christ's parable
concerning the wise man and the fool. (Matthew 7:24-27)
Another Example: Durham , North Carolina . At one point down to about thirty days of water , (and from what I
understand is still on the brink of an emergency drought). Several of the members of the local SDA Church when
asked did they have any water in store, ALL ANSWERED NO. And these had already obtained higher degrees of
education and were established in their various profesions and making money. Good Money. Enough money to
drive their expensive car down to wal-mart and spend five dollars for three gallons of a substance second only
to the air we breathe in importance to life itself. A substance for which the city and state leaders have no clear
answer as to what they are going to drink (much less wash with) in a few short weeks ...... if not days.
let me conclude this evening with a plea for all of to start building readiness plans and emergency kits, that will
be conducive to life, if we have not already done so .
" Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which
built his house upon a rock:
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not:
for it was founded upon a rock ".
Matthew 7:24,25 | |
