I do beleive that Kerry is a tool of the devil but not the anti-christ. There are many that will be used to setup and prepare the way for the anti-christ. The anti-christ will not show up until  shortly after "ye shall see Jerusalem  compassed with armies" (Luke 21:20).

Good point!!!

Carolinas!!!
Yeah, the end of times antichrist. There was a long thread with a lot of info put on not to long ago, and I have to admit that I b-leave that it will soon be here.
I'm not jumping up and sayen' that Kerry is or anything. Just wondering

[Hello Artputey,You might laugh at me, and that's fine, but I think that Jesus is trying to talk to you. It makes me happy to think that you might be trying to listen. I just finished a much longer reply to you in "The Kingdom Age" thread. I felt led by God to write you, and that was before I saw this post. My friend, God is working here. There is something pulling on your heart, and I know who HE is. HIS name is JESUS.1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:My friend, I'm praying right now that your heart and mind will be opened so you can meet JESUS. HE can fill the empty places of your heart, make you a new man in HIM, and adopt you as HIS child forever. HE will give you a full inheritance that will be yours, IN HIM, forever. My friend, please listen to HIM knocking at the door and let HIM in.Love In Christ,Tom]

Same here Artputey

I'll second that, well 3rd that I guess!!!

This is going to get back into a political issue I’m afraid, however, I wanted to ask yall a question. A few weeks ago, there was a thread posted about Kerry. I put something on there about a friend of mine sayen’ that she believed that he was the antichrist. Well, I live in a small town, and I’ve heard like SO many people say that now!! Is this going on everywhere, or is it just my this little town?

Wow, I know I'm SOOO late, but THANK GOD THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND!!!!

I wish you
I wish you a day of ordinary miracles----
A fresh pot of coffee
you didn't make yourself.
An unexpected phone call
from an old friend.
Green stoplights on your
way to work or shop.
I wish you a day of
little things to rejoice in...
The fastest line at the grocery store.
A good sing along song on the radio.
Your keys right where you look.
I wish you a day of
happiness and perfection--
I wish you little bite-size pieces of perfection that give you the
funny
feeling that the Lord is smiling on you, holding you so gently because
you
are someone special and rare.
I wish You a day of Peace,
Happiness and Joy.

Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living.
When I arrived at 2:30 AM, the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under these circumstances, many drivers would just honk once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away..
But, I had seen too many impoverished people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to the door. This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance, I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute", answered a frail,elderly voice.
I could hear something being dragged across the floor.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940's movie.
By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets and there were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware. "Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing", I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated".
"Oh, you're such a good boy", she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address, then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a
hospice". I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw that her eyes were
glistening. "I don't have any family left," she continued. "The doctor says I don't have very long."
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. "What route would you
like me to take?" I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the
building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.
We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived
when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture
warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said,
"I'm tired. Let's go now."
We drove in silence to the address she had given me..
It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway
that passed under a portico.
Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up.  They were
solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They must have been
expecting her.
I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door.
The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.
"How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse.
"Nothing," I said. "You have to make a living," she answered.
"There are other passengers," I responded.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me
tightly.
"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she said.  "Thank you."
I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light.
Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.
I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost
in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk.
What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient
to end his shift?
What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven
away? On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more
important in my life.
We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.
But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what
others may consider a small one.

PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID OR WHAT YOU SAID, BUT THEY
WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.
Thank you, my friend....
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might
as well dance. Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that it is special. Every day, every minute, every breath truly is a gift from
God.

That is cute BrotherLove!!! Funny stuff.. cute stuff... true stuff.......

Yall R a trip!!! :-D

Hi!! All I really want to say here, is that just because she isn't in Church, dosn't mean that she isn't saved!!! Maybe there is more to it then what is in the fourm. However, keep prayen' for her!!!

   Hello Everyone!! Once again, I come to you with a prayer request.
   My mother is an alcoholic. I’m kind of her “I’ll take it out on you” doll. Well, for about the past month, I’ve been staying with a friend of mine.
   About a month ago, my mother and I have a huge arugment. She twisted my words, and then said that you knew I didn't love her anymore!! I do though, I really love my mother!!
   To day a women that works with my mother and I where taken’. She said that my mother had been saying’ that she wanted me to come back home, and this that and the other! Well... I went to the church tonight for an hour and prayed. I mean I cried my eyes out. I am at the end of my rope.
   If I continue to stay with my friend so much (I haven’t moved in w/ her, I’m just always over there) I’m going to continue hurting my mother by being gone. HOWEVER... If I start staying’ @ home like I used to, I’m going to be getting’ fussed at, and what not when ever my mother has been drinking.
   My dad refuses to admit that there is a problem, and my sister just over looks it! (However, she isn't liven' @ home anymore)
   I don’t know what to do anymore!!! Please be praying’ for peace in my house, and for my mother to get her drinking under control. I can’t cry anymore!!!

Thanks,
   Pixie

If you mean should the semonars themselves be sugar coated, I don't beleave so. I mean, you don't want to try and scare people into being christians, however, people need to know what is REALLY going on. That is what I B-Leave!!!

Guys, I gotta tell you this... My preacher brought this up the other day, I mean it was nothing @ all right? Well, then the youth leader pops up (knowing I had a belly button ring, and a Tat) and starts saying that the ONLY reason people get ink or a belly button ring, is because the person wants to show off their body, and have guys to have a sexual attraction to them. Well, I told her, You don't know I have a tat unless I show it to you, and I don't show off my mid drift. I just thought that it was odd that this was brought up on Thurs. and I posted this a few days B-4!!! Anyways, I'm out for now!!!

Any news on the missing kids??? Let me know what is going on... They are all in my prayers!!!

DreamWeaver,
   That is their problem. They should be happy in the fact that she has become a Christian. So when her time does come, she will be with her Father!!!
   I will be keeping you in my prayers, along with your mother (or mother in law). Also I will keep her kids in my prayers that they will also come to see the LiGhT!!!
