Romans 1:17 - 21 "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (18.) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (19.) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (20.) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (21.) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."
As a minister and especially as a pastor my main concern is the lost and dying souls of mankind. We like to think of mankind as being good but as we dig deeper and deeper into the souls of mankind we see that there is none righteous no not even one single person. "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" Romans 3:10 We may see good in them but what God sees is only evil. One of mans biggest issues is understanding God; not just one single issue about God but He as a whole. Certain people will understand this about God and another will understand that about God; but understanding God as a whole is impossible. Let us use this example; there are hundreds of billions of stars in each galaxy and there are hundred’s of billion galaxies in the entire universe and God has them numbered exactly and has them all named. God created the world and all that is within it, he created man and all that is within him. God created the seas and all that is within them, and He created all creeping things and all that is within them. The bible concludes in Psalms "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalms 139:14 God created man in His own image and created him as a servant to Him, just as He did with the angels but mankind was given a gift that no other created being was given and that is, he was adopted as a “son of God”. "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will," Ephesians 1:5 this is a blessing that of all Gods creation has not received not even the angels in heaven. Michael the archangel while such a blessed angel and wonderful servant of God will never be anything more than a mere servant of God. But mankind; the single most awful of His creation will one day be the “sons of God” or at least a remnant of us will be. Mankind is the one single creature of creation that will curse God, belittle God, mock God, refuse and reject God, and simply refuse to believe that He even exist. Mankind would rather believe that life and all that exist came from nothing than to believe that God is the creator of it all. Mankind is sadly mistaken and that mistake will cost them eternal damnation in the lake of fire.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men” That is the anger of God has been and will continue to be revealed from heaven against mans ignorance. We think that things happen by accident or happenstance but God controls all things including disasters. There is nothing out of Gods absolute control. When disasters happens we may need to look and see what we have done wrong and correct it before God gets more angry, but being the creature that we are we will not.
“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen…so that they are without excuse:” one thing is for sure mankind will stand before God “without excuse” while they will attempt to explain things away there will be no excuses. Any single person on earth except the retarded among us can look at creation and clearly see Gods handy work. Mankind simply refuses to recognize a Superior Being. "If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin." John 15:22

I would like to welcome you to my blog. It is my purpose to bring glory to the glorious name of my Saviour Jesus Christ. It is my hope and prayer that you are saved from eternal damnation if not please read the following scriptures.
Acts 8:35-38 "Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. (36.) And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? (37.) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (38.) And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him."
Acts 16:30-31 "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? (31.) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
