If God is love, what is Satan ?
Life and Love happens in an instant !
Death also can happen in an instant !
The Rapture happens in an instant !
All three can happen at anytime !
So be prepared !
God has mercy on us and there is hope - the best example is the apostle paul's life he was a murderer by conspiracy and if he had his way everyone would be dead who believed in Jesus, but God changed that and turned him into the greatest preacher and apostle so there is hope for us on the continuum of sin
We Should be more joyful but get trapped into the mentality that permeates our culture - God is above the culture and makes it all worthwile even the blahs, headaches, frustrations, grouchiness, envy, strife etc Rejoice again Rejoice ! That is the main Bible Message !
We Want Excitement in life we follow trends, new wave, new styles, new things, new tech...yet a life with God is an adventure if you stay close to Him ! If Not its a drag !
