Where do we go from here?

[cordor]

I don't care what happens nor do I care what others think of me after this post but I just have one thing to say! All of us will go through some very tough times ahead and there is no escaping it. America is falling and she is taking others with her. We are all feeling the effects of dwindling resources and oil (which is her bloodline) is getting less and less as the exports get smaller and smaller from other exporting countries. We have heard it all before and I will not go to the expense of preaching to a choir. I just want to say that you will experience these tough times ahead. There is no big super event in the horizon that is going to save us from some of these tough times. Face it...you will have to endure just like anybody else in the near term hell that is about to be unleashed. Get ready america and the world. Life as we know it is really about to change for the worse.

Ahhhh...but we know that our God is in control and as long as we lean on Him:pray and not our own understanding, He will take care of us...we have eternity with Him:yeah

Also one more thing may I add? I hope this country does go to oblivion. I don't care what happens to me. I am just sick and tired of everyone here and this stinking mud ball that I am bound too. I am fed up with the divorces when one should keep the covenant with the lord in the first place. I am fed up with the break up of families. I am fed up with how the society is based on living alone and away from family members when in the early years of this country family members were so much closer and even lived together and believed in making of a stronger family that supported each other. I am very pissed with the killings of aborted babies when the stupid ignorant fools can't be responsible enough to wait. I hate the common man and I don't think I can find it in my heart to forgive. Sorry lord but I cannot forgive how stupid man has become. This is my prayer to you lord. I say that I hope your wrath will be quick and painless. Take the stupid fools away from this place and make it better for your saints. Amen.
I will probably more than likely be banned for this but I speak with my heart and wanted to express it openly. Sorry if I offended but my heart speaks the truth.

I'm sorry for you but you only think your heart speaks the truth. Jesus loves everyone and wants all to come to repentance and be saved. He had mercy on me, should He not have mercy on others and give them also a chance to get saved? None of us are better or deserving better than others! And take care who you call a fool for who says that will go to hell, the Bible says. Repent and let Jesus soften your heart and fill you with His love and patience.Everything will go according to His will and in His time, He knows better than us. Don't forget that He's the One Who created and bought us!
God bless and help you.

I would really have believed so if I was living in a different time than today. I just don't believe anymore that these so called people can even deserve a moments time in the presence of the lord. People squander what God has given us and use him to make gain. Even your so called evangelists of today are money squanders that prey using God's name to make a profit. May God judge fast on this mud ball and bring his wrath to this evil place. I just can't help but keep distance from preachers, evangelists, and whatever because deep down they are nothing but squanders preying on those that truly seek. I hope he brings wrath to those that break up the family. I hope he brings wrath to those that destroy his creatures. I can know and see that what is happening today on this mud ball is truly amazing in that we are so close to his judgement. Look at the state of this country? His wrath and judgement has already begun and is about to get much much worse. Trust me when I say that we really are in the beginnings of his wrath.

Cordoe, I understand what you're saying. I have days where I feel that way. But, the Lord always brings people my way who are open to His message of love and forgiveness. Just hang tight....even if it's only by your pinky! It's okay to feel frustrated, we all can get that way. Remeber that Love is the greatest of all things.:pray

You know better than to talk like this here. Jesus died for and LOVES the "common man" you so hate. He expects you to show His love and compassion to the lost and hurting- not heap condemnation on them:tsk. Straighten up and act like a Christian and a good witness when you post here in RR:snap, and have your temper tantrums offline.

Hmmmmm...Cordor...you used to have a different name, but your attitude gives you away. I won't bite this time.

Glad you're back. How was your THanksgiving?

Cordor, you speak as one who has been deeply hurt ..... possibly by at least divorce? If not you, someone close to you? I agree with you about families needing to be more close knit. Modern society, the fruit of the Industrial Revolution a century and a half ago, really engenders an isolationism within individuals.

I think though, if you really think about it, just about anyone we know has been touched by divorce or abortion or any of the ills of society. I often wonder how society can go on with all of it's ills. What I do know though, is when we are touched by the multitude of societies ills, we can either become bitter and wish it all away, or we can, at least in Christ, be forgiving ... at least eventually. Forgiving has nothing to do with saying any of these things are ok. Evil is evil. Wrong is wrong.

Divorce and abortion and porn and alcoholism and drug addictions .... on and on .... are done by or happen to people that have been hurt deeply somewhere along the line of their life. Or, they are the products of a society filled with ills and selfishness. Knowing this makes it easier to be patient. What you describe above is the sinfulness of mankind, but, as others have already noted, Christ died for them because He loves them and wants them to be saved. I know for myself that I am glad that those that are saved ahead of me did not give up on me when I was still in my sin.

Yes, I believe and many here do, that hard times will come to the US and likely, many other nations where that is not yet experienced. But God allows this, not because He is thinking, "I'LL SHOW THEM!!! THOSE LOUSY SINNING, REBELLIOUS PEOPLE!" No .. rather it is to cause more to turn to Him, repent of their sin and trust in His forgiveness and be washed clean by the blood of the Lamb. This places us in a right relationship with Him because that which was the barrier between us and God has been removed.

Be patient and stay in the Word. Find someone locally to fellowship with. All pastors are not bad. Some are; most are not.

OUCH !!! I think this is a little harsh, I feel this person is one that needs our prayers:pray Can't you hear the pain ? the bleakness of the heart? this is when we need to reach out and comfort not judge, This is a hurt soul a very hurt soul and if no where else, Here on RR should we embrace and listen and not judge and try to figure out what drove this person to lash out and pray and pray, :pray:pray:pray:console
To the OP...... We do live in tough times and things can and do look bleakand will appear even nore hopless to the masses the closer we get to the endtimes, I caution you to be careful with your heart, the bible is very clear that in the endtimes many will fall away, Satan is prowling, That is why the Bible has so many warnings about " running the good race", Fighting the good fight" finishing strong" standing firm, building your house on the rock, He knew the sorrow and temptations, our trials and tribulations, He knows your pain, Draw near to Him and unleash that anger at Satan and banish him this day from you !!! By the Power of Jesus Christ ... get thee behind me ! then go to the matt, yuppers face down and talk to our Lord, Yell and pound and pour out your heart, cry and scream and yell out your frustrations, Our God is an awsome God he allows temper tantrums ( trust me on this :aha) I have had a few in my lifetime! You willnot be the first or last that shakes his fist and screams at the unfairness of our lives!! I am going to pray for you for I feel your anger and know it is from pain and disappointment:hug God loves all of his children ask him to open your eyes so you can see we all sin and fall short of the glory of God and to soften your heart so you can forgive those who hurt you.
