THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS YOU CAN EVER ASK OR PONDER:
1) WHERE will *you* spend eternity ?
A: with
GOD in Heaven, because of the faithfulness and full atonement of the
Redeemer King-Messiah, Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah.
*not*, mind you, because I am "good
enough" or "righteous enough" to "earn" such a supreme gift of eternal
life, mercy, and forgiveness, ... but because HE HAS BOTH GIVEN the
payment AND provided the enabling to be "changed into His image" and no
longer remain in the ungodly and badly tarnished image of Adam and his
fallen race.
2) WHO HAS THE RIGHT to rule your life and "make or set the rules" regarding moral boundaries ?
This is
such a tremendously important question that it requires a five-part
answer: it goes RIGHT TO THE HEART of the "eternal controversy" and conflict between GOD and satan; between GOOD and evil.....
A1: Who has THE RIGHT? to rule your life and "make or set the rules" regarding moral boundaries ?
The One Who is morally perfect and proven to be so.
His Name is Yeshua. ImmanueL. Yahvahshuah.
A2: The One Who HAS THE POWER to bless, ... or to curse or punish defiance or rebellion or disobedience.
His Name is YHVH, YahOvah-Yah ha vah, THE ETERNAL ONE.
A3: Any decent government that is proven reasonably benevolent and morally responsible.
A4: Parental authority. Because GOD HAS ORDAINED IT, ... *and* has ordained governments as well.
A5: Teachers, elders, pastors who are proven in their ministry and personal lives.
and then this one last thought:
to ignore or to try to "over-ride" these FIVE PILLARS OF DIVINE AUTHORITY and MORAL TRUTH is to court absolute spiritual disaster. - on every level. Thus do we have the almost unspeakable MESS the world is in today.

Who will answer ?
* A winner rebukes and forgives; a loser is too timid to rebuke and too petty to forgive.
* Perseverance is the most overrated of traits, if it is unaccompanied by talent; beating your head against a wall is more likely to produce a concussion in the head than a hole in the wall.
* Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
* "If the devil could be persuaded to write a bible,
he would title it, You Only Live Once."·
* "When you run into someone who is disagreeable to others, you may be sure he is uncomfortable with himself; the amount of pain we inflict upon others is directly proportional to the amount we feel within us."
* It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.
* Ninety per cent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves -- so how can we know anyone else in any meaningful sense?
* Men make counterfeit money; but in many more cases, money makes for counterfeit men.

From the canyons of the mind,
We wander on and stumble blindly

From the canyons of the mind,
We wander on and stumble blindly
Through the often-tangled maze
Of starless nights and sunless days,
While casting for some kind of clue
While casting for some kind of clue
Or road to lead us to the truth ,
But who will answer?
Side by side two people stand,
Side by side two people stand,
Together vowing, hand-in-hand
That love's imbedded in their hearts,
But soon an empty feeling starts
To overwhelm their hollow lives,
And when we seek the hows and whys,
Who will answer?
High upon a lonely ledge,
And when we seek the hows and whys,
Who will answer?
High upon a lonely ledge,
a figure teeters near the edge,
And jeering crowds collect below
And jeering crowds collect below
To egg him on with,
"Go, man, go!"
"Go, man, go!"
But who will ask what led him
To his private day of doom,
And who will answer?
On a strange and distant hill,
And who will answer?
On a strange and distant hill,
A young man's lying very still.
His arms will never hold his child,
Because a bullet running wild Has cut him down. And now we cry,
"Dear God, Oh, why, oh, why?!"
And who will answer?
If the soul is darkened by a fear it cannot name,
If the mind is baffled when the rules don't fit the game,
Who will answer? Who will answer?
"Dear God, Oh, why, oh, why?!"
And who will answer?
If the soul is darkened by a fear it cannot name,
If the mind is baffled when the rules don't fit the game,
Who will answer? Who will answer?
Who will answer?
In the rooms of dark and shades,
In the rooms of dark and shades,
The scent of sandalwood pervades.
The colored thoughts in muddled heads
Reclining in rumpled beds Of unmade dreams that can't come true,
And when we ask what we should do, . . .
Who? Who will answer?'
Neath the spreading mushroom tree,
Who? Who will answer?'
Neath the spreading mushroom tree,
The world revolves in apathy
As overhead, a row of specks Roars on,
drowned out by discotheques,
And if a secret button's pressed
Because one man has been outguessed,
Who will answer?
Is our hope in walnut shells Worn 'round the neck with temple bells, Or deep within some cloistered walls Where hooded figures pray in halls?
Who will answer?
Is our hope in walnut shells Worn 'round the neck with temple bells, Or deep within some cloistered walls Where hooded figures pray in halls?
Or crumbled books on dusty shelves,
Or in our stars, ... or in ourselves,
Who will answer?!
If the soul is darkened By a fear it cannot name,
If the mind is baffled When the rules don't fit the game,
Who will answer? Who will answer?
Or in our stars, ... or in ourselves,
Who will answer?!
If the soul is darkened By a fear it cannot name,
If the mind is baffled When the rules don't fit the game,
