Downtown again...

I was around the ferry terminal today handing out million dollar bill tracts. Most of them went over pretty well. I tried talking to a few people but wasn't too well received. I did have a few others ask for more than one and then I was able to use the optical illusion on a sweet little girl that was too shy to play along but it was nice meeting her.

Overall it was a good time spreading God's word and I look forward to getting out again, SOON.

Think about the following passage and see if it is visible in the world/people around us... Then remember the judgements that God promises to bring on the world for such inequity...

Rom 1:27-3227 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. NKJV

And then the judgment:

Deuteronomy 28:15-26
15 "But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
16 "Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.
17 "Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
18 "Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
19 "Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
20 "The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me. 21 The Lord will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. 22 The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish. 23 And your heavens which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you shall be iron. 24 The Lord will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from the heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed.
25 "The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them; and you shall become troublesome to all the kingdoms of the earth. NKJV

And so on, and so on... You can read the rest of the chapter or or so many other places or check out the book of Revelation and see what awaits those who don't turn to God. Yeah, there may be a bit of a scare tactic in there but the bible says that, fear is the beginning of all wisdom...

There is also love... love that requires justice for sin or else how could one love. Do you discipline your child? You love them don't you? Do you fight to the death anyone that tries to harm your family (if not you should)?

If anyone is reading this and has any questions about how to get saved or the Bible let me know and I will help...
