so many earthquakes lately...
Haiti in January, and while we thought that was an isolated incident and support pouring from all over the world to help out, Chile's earthquake struck in February. Just Wednesday we heard about Taiwan's earthquake, and today I read about Sumatra's earthquake. I don't think there was anything ever (at least to me) so evident that Jesus is coming soon. As is written in Matthew 24:7:
"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains."
This is just the beginning before the end comes, and like Revelation says "this calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on part of the saints." (Revelation 13:10)
It's times like this that I really want to tell people..... Jesus is coming soon, would you believe in Him now?

Perhaps, and I can be wrong about this, an equally important question to ask is -- Would Jesus rather be believed out of love, or fear?
@EaSyIcEdLaTTe - hey! good question there! yes! Jesus would love us to believe Him out
of love and not fear... (can you imagine someone using extortion to make someone else love him?) but equally important is that there's not much
time left before He comes back. He has shown us His love by dying on the cross so all who believe in Him will be saved, will you believe in Him today?
I do.
@EaSyIcEdLaTTe - sorry, I didn't mean it that way... I didn't reply too well... but you've got a good point, showing Jesus' love is more important than intimidating people into believing.
No apology needed.
