Location, Location, LOCATION! WHERE is your ETERNAL Real Estate?

EVERY LIFE conceived will follow its natural cycle. EVERY PERSON BORN WILL DIE. As soon as a LIFE -- a human BEing -- is formed in the mother's womb, the process of Life to Death begins. (Though there are those countless millions of lives that were terminated through Abortion -- LEGALIZED MURDER -- their right to live out that natural process violated... their choice to live nullified. They were the silent ones -- lambs to the slaughter.)

"In the Bible, there are TWO kinds of DEATH and both can be defined by a single word. The word is SEPARATION. The two kinds of death are PHYSICAL and SPIRITUAL. When a person dies physically, his soul is separated from his body. The soul-less body is put in the ground (or cremated, as Jazmyn was -- and placed in this painted box), but the SOUL lives on. It can NEVER die. The more serious kind of death, however, is spiritual death. This will occur when the UNsaved sinner will someday be forEVER separated from GOD. This is called the SECOND DEATH." (Dr. Harold L. Willmington - Willmington's Guide to the Bible, page 23)

i saw the dead, both great and small, standing before GOD's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the DEAD were JUDGED according to the things written in the books, according to what they had done. The sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead in them. They were ALL JUDGED according to their DEEDS. (Revelation 20:12-13)

And death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the SECOND death -- the lake of fire. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:14-15)

EVERY person will live on in Eternity, for ALL human beings have a SOUL, which NEVER dies. The body dies physically, but the soul will be assigned his (or her) ETERNAL real estate -- HEAVEN or HELL.

Either blissful and priceless, or horrific and fearsome, is that LOCATION where EACH person will spend his (or her) ETERNITY.

In HEAVEN -- He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever. (Revelation 21:4)

In HELL -- In that location, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 24:51b)

In HEAVEN -- is the very Presence of GOD, with CHRIST JESUS! The home of GOD is now among His people! He will live with them, and they will be His people. GOD Himself will be with them. (Revelation 21:3) When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I AM. (John 14:3)

In HELL -- is the outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 22:13)

In HEAVEN -- is the believer's personal home, created for the follower by our LORD Himself.

There are many rooms in My Father's home, and I AM going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. (John 14:2)

In HELL -- is `where the worm never dies and the fire never goes out.' (Mark 9:48)

In HEAVEN -- is where all BELIEVERS in CHRIST will gather for the marriage feast of the Lamb, where we will unite with our SAVED loved ones, and all the saints, prophets and apostles -- Abraham, Moses, Paul, John, David, Peter, Daniel, Joseph, Isaiah, Job, Rahab, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Noah, Jacob, Nehemiah, Jonah... all the Marys... mother Theresa... the boy with the five loaves of bread and two fish... ALL the SAVED -- great and small, rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, men and women.

For IF we BELIEVE that JESUS died and rose again, even so GOD will bring with Him those who sleep in JESUS. (I Thessalonians 4:14)

In HELL -- will reside the unforgiven, the unrepentant, those who rejected GOD's WORD... His SON... those who willfully rejected the calling of the Holy SPIRIT to GOD's plan of Salvation -- CHRIST JESUS... GOD from Heaven clothed in human flesh.

Outside the city are the dogs -- the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie. (Revelation 22:15)

Location, location, LOCATION! In the real estate market, LOCATION is the key to the value of the property. For all those who have put their TRUST in CHRIST JESUS, their guaranteed ETERNAL Real Estate is the Kingdom of GOD in heaven... face to face with JESUS in all His Glory.

A person can't buy into that priceless eternal REAL estate -- it's FREE -- because it cost the Father SO infinitely! It cost GOD the Father His SON's LIFE -- but to ALL sinners (and we are ALL sinners... NO one, NOT one is good -- only GOD is truly good) who truly REPENT and ask for forgiveness and receive GOD's Gift of Redemption -- he is FREELY given the most valuable piece of REAL estate -- an INdescribable, INcomprehensible, UNimaginable Garden of Eden... TRUE Paradise.

Location, Location, LOCATION! Where have you invested your ETERNAL tomorrow? For TOday may be your last breath. CHOOSE -- this very moment, where you will live your ETERNAL LIFE -- with GOD in His ETERNAL Heaven with His loving Presence...

Or in Hell -- TOTALLY SEPARATED from GOD's MERCY and GRACE and LOVE, totally devoid of the Presence of GOD...and without GOD's Presence is total darkness, total depravity, total evil... unimaginable suffering to the nth degree.

Location...Location...LOCATION...prime Reality is through The WAY, The TRUTH and The LIFE -- The WORD Himself -- JESUS, The CHRIST...the Messiah. The LORD JESUS Himself has declared: "NO ONE comes to The FATHER except THROUGH Me." (John 14:6b)

On Valentine's Day -- Do You Have A SWEET HEART?

TRASH IN...TRASH OUT! For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7)

JESUS said, "...those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies." (Matthew 15:18-19)

"According to the Bible, the heart is the centre not only of spiritual activity, but of all the operations of human life. 'Heart' and 'soul' are often used interchangeably. The heart is the 'home of the personal life,' and hence a man is designated, according to his heart..." (Easton's Bible Dictionary)

Pastor John Yates of Faith Bible Institute wrote, "If the universe and man were merely random chance arrangements of atoms and chemicals, then no morality could exist. For instance, it would be no more morally wrong to kill a baby than a mosquito larva, since both are only random chance arrangements of chemicals. Genocide would be no more evil than mass spraying to exterminate mosquitoes.

Yet absolute morals do exist. It is wrong to torture children for pleasure or to attempt to exterminate the Jews as Hitler did. In fact, Hitler thought this was right precisely because he did believe in Evolution and thought the genocide of inferior races would foster the Evolutionary progress of the human race. This evolutionary atheism at the root of Nazism and Communism resulted in the extermination of millions under Hitler, millions more under Stalin, and millions more under Chairman Mao. These acts were not considered evil by these regimes, because no morals can exist if there is no moral Lawgiver." (Faith Bible Institute, The Doctrine of GOD, page 113)

"An attempt by Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot to form a Communist peasant farming society resulted in the deaths of 25 percent of the country's population from starvation, overwork and executions." (http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/pol-pot.htm)

"Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, set in motion events designed to cause a famine in the Ukraine to destroy the people there seeking independence from his rule. As a result, an estimated 7,000,000 persons perished in this farming area, known as the breadbasket of Europe, with the people deprived of the food they had grown with their own hands." (http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/stalin.htm)

"On April 30, 1945, surrounded by the Soviet Army in Berlin, Adolf Hitler committed suicide and his Reich soon collapsed. By now, most of Europe's Jews had been killed. Four million had been gassed in the death camps while another two million had been shot dead or died in the ghettos." (http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/holocaust.htm)

"In December of 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army marched into China's capital city of Nanking and proceeded to murder 300,000 out of 600,000 civilians and soldiers in the city. The six weeks of carnage would become known as the Rape of Nanking and represented the single worst atrocity during the World War II era in either the European or Pacific theaters of war." (http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/nanking.htm) (After reading this link, i couldn't bear to put in the blog the descriptions of the atrocities committed. You'll have to read the rest of the story yourself.)

"In total, 10-13 million Africans were abducted (mainly by other Africans and Arabs) and sold as slaves (mostly in the Americas) between 1620 and 1880....slaves constituted more than half the population in some southern states (South Carolina, Mississippi) and two fifths of the total southern populace (compared to an average of 5% in the north and 10% in New-York). Of the first 12 Presidents of the USA, 8 were slave-owners. Some slave-owners were themselves black and former slaves." (http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/9-26-2005-77541.asp)

Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, said, "Eugenicists imply or insist that a woman's first duty is to the state; we contend that her duty to herself is her first duty to the state. We maintain that a woman possessing an adequate knowledge of her reproductive functions is the best judge of the time and conditions under which her child should be brought into the world. We further maintain that it is her right, regardless of all other considerations, to determine whether she shall bear children or not, and how many children she shall bear if she chooses to become a mother."(http://womenshistory.about.com/od/quotes/a/margaret_sanger.htm, see also http://www.blackgenocide.org/sanger.html)

Eugenics -- "...a science that deals with the improvement (as by control of human mating) of hereditary qualities of a race or breed....the study and practice of selective breeding applied to humans, with the aim of improving the species. In a historical and broader sense, eugenics can also be a study of 'improving human genetic qualities'." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics)

Abortion -- a procedure to end a pregnancy. It uses medicine or surgery to remove the embryo or fetus and placenta from the uterus. 1.3 million abortions are performed EACH year.

Abortion is legalized murder of unborn babies.

No one is exempt from the possibility of doing evil. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

Pastor Charles Stanley, in his In Touch magazine (February 4, 2010) listed nine danger signals worse than the hardening of the arteries -- the danger of a hardening heart.

"1. Insensitivity or resistance to what GOD says,
2. Refusal to put yourself under His authority,
3. Disobedience to what you know the Lord is instructing you to do,

4. Justification of sinful conduct,
5. Resistance to the reproof of others,
6. Preoccupation with the things of this world (career, relationships, possessions),

7. Little interest in spiritual matters,

8. Absence of private devotion (Bible reading and prayer),

9. Avoidance of public worship (gathering with other believers)."

Charles Darwin had a hardened heart. He believed in Eugenics. His book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life promoted that "all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of life from non-life..." (http://www.darwins-theory-of-evolution.com/)
Charles Darwin did not believe that there is a Creator -- GOD, Creator of the heavens and earth.

If there is no GOD -- there is no morality. When a person rejects morality -- he (or she) rejects GOD. He rejects a moral Maker, Lawgiver and Judge.

Nero, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot...the lives they lived -- the outgrowth of their belief systems -- showed that they did not believe that man was created in the image of the Creator, the GOD of the universe, Maker of all things seen and unseen. Margaret Sanger, in promoting abortion -- the killing of unborn babies in the guise of "planned parenthood" -- did not believe that GOD created those millions and millions and millions of murdered babies in His image. Amalie Dietrich, "a German evolutionist, (nicknamed the 'Angel of Black Death') asked that Aborigines be shot for specimens, so their skin could be stuffed and mounted" -- obviously did not believe in the sanctity of life.

i, too, before i received GOD's precious gift of His Son, CHRIST JESUS, as my Savior -- believed the GARBAGE of EVOLUTION!!! i was fed this pernicious lie when i came to the the USofA, fresh off the boat, at 10 years old -- ignorant and a ready sponge...sopping up all the muck that was thrown at me.

BLESSED be the GOD of the Bible -- the Creator of me! -- He saved me from a heart of evil and depravity, through the shed blood of His Son, JESUS, the CHRIST. By the redeeming, atoning, substitutionary sacrifice of His life on the Cross at Calvary, i was set free...forever free to be a child of the Living GOD.

By the abiding, indwelling of the Holy SPIRIT of GOD -- gifted to me and to all who believe in CHRIST as LORD and Savior, i am no longer blind, no longer hardhearted. In CHRIST, i am a new creature, with His righteousness, His heart, His mind...that old body of death that was merlin was crucified and buried. GOD has made me new -- born again in spirit -- and today, in CHRIST alone, i am rLn. If anyone is In CHRIST, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (II Corinthians 5:17)

Only with the mind of GOD...only with the power of the Holy SPIRIT...only with the heart of CHRIST -- can the heart and soul of man be made truly righteous. Only through the Love of GOD in our wilfull hearts can we love all human beings as our own brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers. Only when we truly believe in our hearts, minds and soul that each and every person on earth -- man, woman, child...black, white, brown, yellow (or red-white-n-blue), rich or poor, Jew or Gentile, believer or non-believer, saved sinner or unsaved sinner -- is created in the very likeness and image of the Living GOD -- only then, will the killing stop!

And the killings, the murders...start in the heart. For as you think in your heart, so you are!

How is your heart? Do you have a sweet heart?

Only In CHRIST can one have a sweet heart.

ALL Children Are GIFTS From GOD

Children are a gift from the LORD,
They are a reward from Him. (Psalm 127:3)

You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother's womb.

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.

My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them. (Psalm 139:13-16)

Triple Threat from San Diego...the Three Musketeers.

German version of Hang in there, baby!

Kristika, with the Mona Lisa smile...all the way from Taveuni.

She (and her family) goes to the Assembly of GOD church in New Town, Taveuni. CHRISTian Indians are a rarity in Fiji, as most of the Indian population are Muslims.

Ema's from Naselesele Village -- she is a beautiful inside and out!

Another little cutie from Naselesele Village...probably in Kindergarten this year.

Some of the wonderful children of Naselesele Village Primary School.

Little Beni...from the Naselesele Village, Taveuni. He's my friend.

And this is little Jo. He is like a grown man in a toddler body...he is strong-willed and outspoken already! He lives with his grandmother and three young cousins.

Filo, Talei, with baby Ligani...another baby brother, still "in the oven," was not yet born when this photo was taken.

Leone, chowing down on his birthday cake. He's about 5 years old today...feisty, to say the least!

Deep in thought...i sometimes wonder what goes on in "little people's" minds.

This boy was so feisty, i had to kickbox with him...literally! And he beat me to a pulp!

i met these kids when i was in Paunzhausen, Germany. What polar opposites, compared to the kids from the Village.

Curly headed bundle of joy!

Rarotonga (Cook Islands) beauties...i heard it said that the kids in the Cooks learn to dance before they learn to walk!

Best of friends...they were inseparable...glued at the hip (or cheek, from this photo)...from Bibi's HideAway -- Matei, Taveuni (Fiji)

What if any of these children were "terminated" while in the womb, each one already a live person, just living inside another's body? What if any of these children were "clinically removed" because they were just a "bunch of cells"? What if any of these children were "aborted" because the birth control method failed and this is the last-resort "birth control" method?

From Creation (egg and sperm joining together to make one live, growing, beginning of a human being) to final exhale -- is GOD's arena. He created, He alone can un-create. The Divine Designer has final say on the outcome and longevity of His design. Those who play at god do not know GOD. He is a loving Father who keeps His eye on all children. Premeditated murder (for how else can one interpret the word abortion? Killing -- "aborting" -- an unborn child is not accidental...it is an act that is planned in advance and by appointment) is a heinous crime...and no amount of justification or excuses will relieve that person of guilt, for it is written and engraved in every person's heart, Thou shalt not kill. And GOD has promised, Vengeance is mine! (Romans 12:19)

And yet, for a guilt-ridden killer, there is pardon. The same loving Father who avenges His little ones provides merciful forgiveness through His Son, CHRIST JESUS. In CHRIST alone is salvation. In CHRIST alone is pardon.

All children are gifts from GOD.

You were once a child. You were once a baby. You were once a "bunch of cells." You were once an egg and sperm organism...and you were NOT an accident, for GOD had created you even before you were created in your mother's womb...you were created in His infinitely intelligent Mind. All children are gifts from GOD, including you.
