Be Ye Thankful

Signs of the last days
Major signs of the last days, "Men began to multiply on the face of the land, (population explosion) "sexual perversion," "The earth filled with violence," "Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" have you watched TV lately? Gen. 6:1-5. "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be…ungrateful" 2 Tim. 3:1-2. Now this, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness...For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened" Rom 1:18-21.

A series on prophesy
For years I preached a lot on and taught prophesy in college. Following my Bible teacher in college, I have a large beautiful colored chart on prophesy. Then, I started out as a draftsman and worked for the U. S. Engineers as a draftsman and planned to go into engineering. Using my draftsman skills, I drew up a chart on prophesy with most of the major passages of Scripture on prophesy.  The Lord willing, I will put this all on email along with the chart for your use. You will love this series sometime in the future. It will be very enlightening and open many truths in the Bible for you.

Two warnings
One, unthankfulness is a major sign of the last days. It should be a wake up call to every believer to wake up before we ship out.

Two, we have the record in Romans one that "God gave them up" for their unthankfulness and the awful things it led men to do. How we need to heed the admonition, "Prepare to meet Thy God" Amos 4:12.

Oh, dear people, be thankful. God has been extremely good to you if you are saved and going to heaven. The consequences are extremely bad for you if you are not thankful.

Prayer:  Father, forgive us for our unthankfulness. Wake us up to be thankful people.

Stay tuned as we look at some things we need to be thankful for that we often forget about and let's be thankful for the major things. All because of Calvary, sumner
