We look forward to our eternal home,
To lift our praise and never more roam.
It is not left to us alone,
Because for all Your sacrifice was shown.
Go to all the world and spread His Word,
And utter the message that you have heard.
Life that I speak of is better than what we have here,
And that is why in eternity, I have nothing to fear.
Bring them home to the fold of God,
And tell them about our Shepherd's guiding rod.
It leads and it chastens my lost soul,
But in the hands of God, I leave my life's control.

Continue On
Now that the threat of apocalypse is over; we still have to be about our Father's business. We have been over the passage of Mark 13, but that does not lessen the importance of what our spiritual duty to others is. We are like Noah on the Ark, and we are daily trying to gather souls into the boat, so that we can save lives for eternity. I know that Noah did his best to warn the people of the coming flood. We are doing the same to warn the people of the world. Even though we may be heaped together with the so-called believers; we need to speak the truth in love. I know many of my friends are having to do that on a daily basis. The truth is like a sword that cuts straight to the heart. We need to arm ourselves with the truth, so that evil does not have the victory over us. We need to cut through the darkness and let the light shine so that the lost souls of men may see it. So continue on in the strength of the Lord.

Don't Misinterpret What You Read in the Bible
Their are so many people that have been duped into thinking that tomorrow the world will end, and no matter what formula you use or math you try to do will not help you to figure out when the Lord will return.
"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." (Mark 13:32-37)
Other passages that speak of Christ's return are Matthew 24:36-51 and Luke 21:34-36. If you think that you have interpreted these passages correctly, please return to these passages and read again.
I hate to disappoint these people that think that the Apocalypse is happening tomorrow, but only God knows when the time is right to send His Son to claim His children. Another thing to think about is that God will not destroy the earth until He has accomplished all that He has relayed to John in the book of Revelation.

Boast in the Lord
Boast not in what you know,
But in Christ, who His love did show.
We may know a great many things,
But to Christ, we give our praise offerings.
Boast not in the strength of your arm,
Because in the end it can only do you harm.
We work to build up ourselves everyday,
And Jesus said that this is not the way.
Boast not in the money you've earned,
Because with this fire you could be burned.
Riches will only bring want,
And once gotten they will continually haunt.
Boast in the omniscient and almighty God,
The One who has constantly guided with His rod.
For knowing our God is better than all of these things,
And knowing Him, my praise to Him brings.
"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord." (Jeremiah 9:23,24)

Trust the Lord
Trust the Lord, O my soul,
And fill me with Your Spirit anew.
For without Christ, there is nothing I can do,
And teach me the virtues Thou dost extol.
Trust the Lord with all of your heart,
And show me Your power in what You are doing.
For I am nothing, without my faith in You renewing,
And work in me in every part.
Trust the Lord with all I am given,
It takes the removal of certain things.
And when it is done, Your glory it brings,
For what You do, make my life worth living.

Stayed on the Word
Stayed on the Word, I will not fail,
And He has saved my soul from Hell.
For He spoke the Word and many were saved,
But so many are still in darkness and enslaved.
The fields are white and ready for harvest,
And when the opportunity arises, it is best.
For the time you have now will soon be gone,
Looking back and remembering the love you should have shown.
Care for those who are lost,
And in our efforts, we could not exhaust.
The Word and the blood are needed to save,
Remembering all that He gave.

Unmoved
All around us is moving,
And in our hearts behooving,
By our actions we have turned away,
And into the dark have gone astray.
Stand for what you believe,
And spread the salvation that you did receive.
For we are not of this world below,
And we must Christ show.
The waves and winds may be strong,
But He has put in our hearts a new song.
Sing while the waves are churning,
Speak so that hearts may be turning.
