Recently, there was yet another controversy about the time of Jesus' return. Sadly, many people were misled into thinking that May 21, 2011 would be that date and were deeply disappointed and confused when they found out they were misinformed.

Since the dawn of homo sapiens, we study, experiment and try to decipher the secret code of love. Many of us seem to have forgotten that in the early days, free love was a shortage. From aristocrats to slaves, marriages and relationships were often given as orders and elections of people with more power and authority for political, religious, material and personal purposes. Therefore, there are the great love tragedies of "Romeo and Juliet" and "Abelardo and Eloisa", as well as countless others who have been persecuted for their innocent expression of love.

The entire Bible is truth: the truth about God and the truth about Satan. We are instructed to rightly divide truth.The story of Noah it is an example of how to divide God from Satan and good from evil. "Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God" (Genesis 6:9). Noah and 7 others were in the Ark.

Meditate a little on this MERCY of the Lord: It is TENDER Mercy; It is GREAT Mercy; It is UNDESERVED Mercy; It is RICH Mercy; It is MANIFOLD Mercy; It is ABOUNDING Mercy; It is UNFAILING Mercy

Vote as you desire, but don't be fooled: it is NOT the power of the poll that prevails.

When God reaches out to us we have a finite "window of opportunity" to respond to His call. 

It is the love we share (by our actions, not just words!) that makes people believe we are sincere. It is how much we sacrifice for each other that opens the door for the gospel message. It is by bearing each other's burdens that we fulfill the Law of Christ.
