Words of Incouragement

Q: If you were to die tonight, do you think you'll go to Heaven?

(If you have doubts that you will not make it then that must mean you do not have much faith in the Lord.)


A: Christ did not just died on the cross for nothing. When he was crucified, on the cross, you were free. The Lord loved his son much, and yet he sent Jesus down to save each and every individual person, so that he or she will make it to Heaven. When he died, you were forgiven forever.


"Father, it is done"..."Sin is no more"

You are going to Heaven because of salvation is not about you. You will not be judged about upon how many sins you have committed or how many good deeds have you done. You will be judged upon your faith in the Lord. Do not count on yourself to get into Heaven, because Jesus had already done that. Just do your part and spread his words. Help others so that they will come to accept the Lord and be saved.

(This was a message I received during a revival held at my church. It is such a beautiful message to uplift a person who is struggling. Remember that you do not have to work to get to heaven anymore. )


Matthew 10:32-33
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.


So do not be afraid and tell the world about his glory. The Lord will bless you, and so before you know it, you will be standing before the Lord ready for Heaven.

Broken Promise

 

What has the world become to? When did our promises began to mean nothing?

I went to school today hoping to have a nice meeting with Ron Edding, but I had gotten something more than what I expected. Our conversation had wondered off, into something, that I would have never thought it would be. Goosebumps climbed all over my body as we talked about Genocides and that just got me into talking about the Secret War in the Jungles of Laos.

In case if you didn't know, in the Vietnam War, America's CIA had made a promise to help the Hmongs. They both would have to help each other with the war, and after the war was over, America would take care of the Hmongs. [The Hmong soldiers were called "Hmong guerrillas"] The Hmongs thought America wanted to help them, but it was not so. America wanted to block the communists from using Laos, as a supply route, along the Ho Chi Min Trail, to South Vietnam. Was it all a lie? In 1973, the United States withdrew its support, and from that moment, the Hmong guerrillas couldn't defend against the communist Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese soldiers. The Hmongs were abandoned by the United States. Hmongs soldiers, along with there families, all fled to the jungles of Laos, and deep within these forest, they were cruelly murdered.

It's very sad how mass murders can happen right now, and we would not know anything about it. Kids, at the age of 8, already holding guns in there hands. Great grandfathers, at the age of 80, still pleading for the broken promise because they haven't realized that the Vietnam War had already ended. Women’s seeing their daughters being raped and slaughter in front of their eyes. How can there be such inhumanity, and no one to stop it? Every night, before bed, mothers are saying their goodbyes, to their kids, holding on to dear life, wishing to see their families tomorrow morning. If promises were meant to be broken, what's the use of it? These innocent people are being killed because of a promise unfulfilled, so how can we still eat like there's nothing wrong?

My family came to this land, the land of freedom, hoping their life would be better than before. Isn't this a land of opportunities, but I'm confused if this is even true. It might just be another broken promise.
