Hello there Sweet Sister .... Hope the Lord Blesses you so much that your 'cup runs over'....

hi brothers and sisters,well had a good Fishing day  right in the middle of the grocery store at the catchier i said the Lord is comming, praise God He will be here soon , and some one answered loud "Very very soon "..I was so full of joy ,and every one was happy about 9-10 of them can you imagine right in the middle of the store ..thank you Jesus for putting so much joy in my life today.and that was a good fishing day for me..now i am tire and i will retire and bring my Day to God our Father in gratitude for life today in Jesus Name Good night every body .Maybe Jesus will come for His Bride tonight!!!Thank you for your support night Tina..Tom Maryjane brothers sister in Jesus God Love.Def

i want to say goodmorning to sister Tina...and all brothers and sisters love You  ,,Def..be bless aaaaalllll ddddddaaaaay  Ok

as I read these post...it came to my mind how deep John 3:16 is...So many quote this scripture as if it is a cliche'...without understanding the depth of that verse.."whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish..but have everlasting life...The word"perish..To die or be detroyed, especially in a violent or untimely manner..to pass from existance..disappear gradually..To spoil or deteriorate..To bring to destruction...

hi Maryjane, so happy you commeted please do again..the reason i reason with this, is that the lord God add`s to the verse" but have EVERLASTHING LIFE"  so to me the word here "perish means you will die of a violent death( and the lake of fire like i said is pretty violent and to me is the second death . see you soon Maryjane.love in Jesus Def.....by the way if He did not mean death he would not have to had everlasting life cause he does not have to explain Himself right  ,OK byebye
that is because i am happy to talk to you ok(the smily)

Bringing It Down To Earth

    What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
    (Philippians 3:.

The presence of God is the most holy place. It is the place wherein we come and in essence remove the sandals from our feet. For how we clothe ourselves to walk in this world is not fitting as we tread upon the holy ground to approach the presence of God. And entering into His presence causes us to realize our need. We see ourselves for who we really are in comparison to Him, and we see our imperfection and inadequacy. But this does not spur us to retreat in shame, but instead, we confidently approach the throne of grace because of the work of Christ.
But how do we approach Him? Much about this only seems to touch the spiritual, how do we bring it down to earth?
To begin with, we know that sin keeps us from coming into the presence of God, sin--and even more so--the desire to cling to sin. Our sins have been forgiven us and therefore are no longer a wall that separate us from God's Salvation (Jesus tore down that wall). Instead, they separate us from His fellowship, and become a greater barrier when we refuse to let go of them.
Clinging to anything behind us will keep us from moving forward. Remember what the writer of Hebrews has said, "let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles" (12:1). This is our act of repentance: to turn away from what is behind us and to press on toward the Holy place of God. We see that the kingdom to which we belong is not of this earth, and so we shake the dust of this earth from our feet and set our focus on the Kingdom of God. Our goals, ambitions and dreams for a life on this earth will fade, and our desires will be transformed and our hearts will no longer cling to the treasures of this world.
While letting go (of sin, the world, our wants, etc.) is the first step to drawing near to God; clinging to Christ as Lord and Master is the second step. Jesus tells us, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Lk.9:23). We move away from our past that is wrapped up on self-fulfillment, and we follow the path of Christ that leads to righteousness (or right living).
The path that leads to righteousness is where we bring the vague idea of drawing near to God down to earth. While drawing near to God is a spiritual matter, there are several things we can physically do to help us draw near. But to put it simply, we can say it in one statement, "be like Christ." The writer of Hebrews encourages, "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith" (12:2). Christ is the physical representation of God. He is our example to follow. To be like Christ is to draw near to God. Christ prayed, therefore we must pray. He knew scripture and we too must not only read, but gain understanding of and memorize scripture. He served others more than self. He sacrificed His rights to anything from this life. He was fully devoted to the work of God. If we are to draw near to God, this is the path we must follow. It will not do us any good to wish we could be more Christ-like if we are not willing to follow in His path.
Christ Jesus, while on earth, walked each day fully in the presence of God the Father. He has come to dwell in each of us who believe in Him, to provide to us all we need to follow God as He did. But, the truth be known, the reason so many of us struggle with step two (following Jesus), is because we have failed to accomplish step 1 (denying self). As long as we refuse to let go of our endearments in this life, we cannot fully draw near to God, we cannot be the child of God we desire to be and we cannot be effectively used to draw a lost world to Jesus. The song says, "I surrender all."  How much have we given up so others might find life?
In considering the vague ideas of the spiritual calling in our lives, we realize we need to find ways to bring it down to earth so that we can better understand what we can do to draw near to God. But God understands all of our needs better than we do, and He has already brought it down to earth within the physical manifestation of His Son--Jesus.

To follow Jesus, we must learn to let go of this life. If we are to be the agents of change we must be willing to be changed. A lost world is counting on us.

    But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ (Philippians 3:7).

hello Pastor  Roger,I was willing to lose every thing in this world and even go to hell so i could believe "into Him Jesus Christ" most believe  Jesus Christ ,But to be into Him is not the same as to believe...to believe Him is to believe that He is true and real ,but to believe" into" Him is to receive Him and be united with Him as One.  to believe is to  acknowledge a fact objectively , `To believe "into Him "is to receive His life subjectively , and that is what my soul my spirit my life was looking for and by the grace and mercy of God it has been materialize in my life thank you Jesus for coming into me.god solved the world that he gave into me His only begotten Son..well pastor roger thank for your time and your patience..love in Jesus Def.

[the lake of fire and brimstone]

Perish as used in the Bible in regards to such verses as:

2Pe 3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

It means to die. It is an eternal death which means to feel the pain of death continuously for eternity.


Jud 1:7  Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.



Rev 20:10     ...   into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

What about what God says in John ,3:16 should not perish but have eternal life?

got  a Big fish nibling today glory to God in Jesus our Lord Name,  good shot the name of Jesus was raise up.. Pastor Roger, and all of You my bro and sis who want to answer me what do the word "perish" mean to you??well good night every body good night Pastor Roger good night Tom. good night Tina. good night David ,.every body good night.God bless you all, in all your needs  believe it or not when i go to rest i pray  i is the only thing i know what to do and not be shun love in Jesus Def.

safe hidden with Jsus in God

We are not given an overly clear, detailed description of the differences between hell and the lake of fire or what there individual purposes are. We do know that there are differences because of Rev 20:14 tells us that death and hell are cast into the lake of fire. Some claim that all who die a physical death enter hell until the time of judgement. Yet we see in 2 Cor 5 that when we are absent from the body we are present with the Lord and we know for certain that Jesus is in heaven not hell. We see in numerous places where the original Hebrew word for hell (she'ôl  she'ôl) is used to describe both a simple grave in the ground and in other places a burning deep pit.

Rev 20 tells us of Judgment Day at the great White Throne. Here we see all come before God. Verse 13 tells us that the sea gives up the dead in it and that death and hell gives up the dead in them. Each one will then be judged according to their works. We all must give an account of our lives. Then those whose name is in the Book of Life will avoid the second death and be given eternal life. These are those that have accepted Christ as their Saviour.

At this point death and hell (those whose name is not in the Book of Life) are cast into the lake of fire.

We are told that hell is eternal. We are also told that those cast into the lake of fire will be tormented day and night forever and ever (eternally). This is known as the second death.
