Notes On Life

 There is -and has been from the beginning of time- a raging conflict on earth...and all of us are at its center point. This is a battlefield for the heart and minds of all souls that are currently going 'TO AND FRO' ON the earth and where they will all eventually all go once life is over and they are placed UNDER the earth. The grave will not be the determining factor of who won that battle. It will be YOU — the soul that is at the center point of the battle of TO AND FRO. While God above and His angels fight FOR YOU and the Devil and his angels fight AGAINST YOU it is YOU that will be the decider of which one will win. You will either Deliberately make that choice or by Dereliction make that choice, and once in the grave the choice you make while also walking on this earth 'TO AND FRO' will determine your eternity. Your 'To and Fro' time will end one day. What will be the outcome of that battle? God Bless Your Day Jesus Loves You NotesOnLife.org    *If this me...

  What is the greatest “Existential Threat?” For some it is destruction by mankind’s impact on Global Warming , for others destruction by Nuclear War , destruction by a worldwide Fatal Pandemic , or perhaps the destruction of humans by Robots and Artificial Intelligence . While there may be some validity in one (or even more) of these possible events, there is one ultimate & final “Existential Threat” that is far greater and deadlier than all these combined and that is The Eternal Destruction Of THE SPIRIT & THE SOUL . You see, all of us are composed of three parts; Our BODY (our physical self), the SPIRIT (the life force inside the body that sustains our physical body), and the SOUL (which resides in the body that is the core of who each one of us truly and individually is). Physical death happens when our spirit leaves the body and the soul and spirit will then go somewhere, and the Bible says that is to either: “Eternal LIFE” “I give them ETERNAL LIFE and they shall ne...

  Each year in the USA almost a half-million people die or are severely afflicted with debilitating diseases because of smoking. Even though the warning was clearly posted on each pack they chose to Ignore The Message until one day their choices catch up to them in sickness or an avoidable early death. Ignoring the call of the Gospel is very similar. Just as people smoke and know that it is 'bad' for them they continue on because they never felt it was important to 'Do Something About It.' Likewise many know that it is 'good' for them to pay at least some attention to God at Easter or Christmas but that also is not enough to consider God and the offer of eternal life and salvation through Jesus Christ. While not on their daily emails or favorite web sites the message that life will one day end and preparing for this is also something that never seems important enough to seek for today, yet one day the time will pass When Ignoring What Will Come Will Be Too Lat...

 Henry Ford once famously said, “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right, ” and sadly for many people when it comes to the practice of their faith what they deny in word, thought, and belief is exactly what they will get. For example, some Christians don’t believe that supernatural healing happens today and — no surprise — no healing will occur! Others don’t believe that God wants to bless them and that ‘being spiritual’ means they should suffer in this life and — no surprise — that is also exactly what they will get. Perhaps the most serious thing to NOT believe is that Jesus is coming back again, and especially that Christ is returning before that to gather His church and take them away in the rapture. [see 1 Corinthians 15:52–53] Some esteemed Bible teachers go so far as to say that if you don’t believe in the rapture that when it comes then — no surprise — you will not be taken up and will remain for the tribulation. As today’s scripture admonishes us, i...

  “This is a great list! Sounds good, makes sense, and finally speaks the truth about the stupidity of all this ‘faith stuff!’ Who needs faith anyway? I don’t believe in faith, I believe in FACTS!” Well, there are a lot of people that think and feel this way, and you know what, it is totally OK to think that. In fact, we can all ‘think’ anything we want, but there is one ‘fly in the ointment here’ and that is while there are facts, everyone — whether they realize it or not — has FAITH. Here’s why. If you are like me, I have faith that the sun will come up the next day, that I’ll wake up in the morning, and that my heart won’t suddenly stop beating. If you think about it, all those things happen by FAITH — and we have zero control over that. But here is my favorite retort against this Facts-vs-Faith thing…. Imagine that you are driving down a two lane road late at night going 50 miles an hour. The headlights of another car are coming towards you in the opposite lane also going 50 ...

  Imagine this. Let’s say that you were convicted of a serious crime and in court; you fully confess, were earnestly sorrowful and took full responsibility for your wrongdoing. Then the judge, seeing your sincerity and repentance instead of sentencing shows mercy and places you on probation. The legal definition of 'Probation' is a court ordered condition where a person is freed from their transgression As Long As They Do Not Willfully Return To Their Crime . This is exactly the situation we have before God. Colossians 1:20 says if you repent then you are “…reconciled to God and (make) peace with Him by the blood of the cross.” Your good deeds or behavior will not save you but there IS a condition of our 'probation' that still applies. While we are under God’s grace nevertheless being human we will still continue to sin, but as long as we confess our sin the Lord will forgive. However as today’s verse in Hebrews 10:26 says if we Willfully Continue To Sin we violate th...

 What do people and society think is really important in this world? It might be politics, policies, and attacking people that they despise. For others it might be unfair labor or trade practices, social justice, the environment, diversity, reproductive rights, the economy, sexual rights, immigration, homelessness, child trafficking, drug laws or a host of other societal or personal issues. William Shakespeare once famously wrote, “All the world’s a stage” and once us “actors” on it make our exit from this life, what then truly matters? Will it be because of anything we did or did not do about the aforementioned issues? NO. God only cares about one thing, and that is The State Of Your Soul . As today’s verse says, God is not here to judge our actions in this life on what We Think Is Important , but what HE Thinks Is Important . In the temporal state of the world, certainly many of these things are relevant and timely, but Jesus said that eventually “Heaven and earth shall pass away...
