Hello my fellow Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,

This is my first time checking out the i-forum and it is refreshing to see how important it really is for us to discuss and discover the things of God. Amen. This topic is something that I myself have been contemplating for many years. And I like how Pastor Mel has gotten us to start thinking about holiness and Godliness.There comes a point in every believers life when they realize how fragile we really are, and how great and mighty God is. Usually it takes someone to be on their death bed or a close call with death. Sometimes it will take seeing someone healed of an ailement or you yourself be touched by the hand of God and healed. But until we realize that we are nothing without God, and devote ALL of our life to follow Him with ALL of our being. Like it is written in Revelations 3:15-16,"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So because you are lukewarm neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”

When we come to the realization that our eternal salvation is no game, it all changes!!
There is no longer a Sunday lifestyle vs. the weeklong Style. It becomes the Christian Lifestyle. You will want to honor God with everything you say, think and do on a daily basis. We are a thermometer of the Christian world to those who don’t know the Lord. We as Christians are probably the closest they will ever get to the word of God!! So why not make the decision to live for God and allow His goodness to shine thru us to the rest of the world.I sure don’t want people to think that I am like them, because that is not who I am. They need to see the difference of being a Christian. I read somewhere , “Salt and Light”...I chose for myself, and chose to be Hot !!
Then the light will shine and all will see the Holiness of God shining thru in all things.I urge all Holiness starts with a decision..Soon the things of the world will taste bland and look dark, Amen. Let this desire be yours.
Your Brother in Christ Jesus.

Dear Brother, You sound like a preacher.Obviously, you must know of the grand deceptions going on in the media these days.Globalization is bringing us closer to the very last days with a pending economic crash world wide.Truth is rare, except, when you look to the words of Christ.If christians can pull themselves away from worldly distractions long enough, God can open their eyes.Truth is what we should seek.The “New World Order” is moving forward.During the depression 9,000,000 people lost their savings to a bank following personal financial collapse many lost their house and became homeless.All people who had money in the stock market lost.It was the biggest land grab since the Pilgrims had landed.The Federal Reserve Bank which is not federal has once again poised this nation for a massive collapse.Be warned that we can only trust in our Lord and King and that this world shall pass away.Christ foretold of many events that now mark the end times.Let us struggle to know the truth about the events which are now unfolding and be prepared for his return.Praise the Lord for his mercy and truth.Study history and you will learn about the future.Study the word of God and the future won’t matter.
