Matthew 5:9 (NIT)                                         God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.                                                                 Why do some men and women try so hard to divide humans by race, political affiliation, or the level of their wealth?       Will this be the time in our countries history when we fail to find a place of understanding where we can live in Peace with our fellow humans, and not be divided by the color of our skins?                             Look on the face of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, His head is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns, His face is covered with Blood, Spit and Pain!                      His Painful Death On The Cross and His Resurrection from the grave, was the price for His Glorious Gifts of, Grace, Love, and The Forgiveness of Sins, for all men and women who will, Repent and turn away from a life of sin and hate to a New Life of, Love and Forgiveness as a Believer in, The Gospel of Jesus Christ.                                                                                                                                                                You can find True Peace, Love, and The Grace of Father God by Accepting His Son, Jesus Christ as Your Lord, and Savior.                                                                     This Redemptive Change will guide you to  find True Peace with your Brothers and Sisters. You will not look at their skin color, how rich or poor they are, you will see them as your Brothers and Sisters in Christ.                                                                                           Read the attached; Documents, and look at the portrait – The Crown of Thorns  –

Matthew 6: 19-21 & 33 (NLT)                                                                                       Teaching About Money And Possessions                                                                           “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.   33; Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.                                                                                           Do not place your trust or future in the material physical things of this world, for they will all burn in the fires of Father God’s, Final Judgement!                                                        I would like to share the eulogy I penned for my father, Oliver R. Smith, it was a work of both love and outreach to all who have not found a Genuine Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ as their Lord, and Savior.                                                                                  The thoughts and truths in this eulogy are my personal relationship with my earthly father, but they are also my Personal Relationship with my Heavenly, Father God and His Son, Jesus Christ.                                                                                                                I have also included a poem by my father, (I’M GOING HOME), the eulogy and poem are attached. I hope you will take the time to read them.-

Psalm 7:1-2 (NLT)                                                                                                                     Rescue Me                                                                                                                                       I come to you for protection, O Lord my God. Save me from my persecutors-rescue me! If you don’t, they will maul me like a lion, tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.                                                                                                        It was a normal day at work for the bus driver, he never would have dreamed that he would be part of a true real-life rescue. He might have been thinking, what good is my job as a bus driver, what part could he play in the great and wonderful plan Father God has for the world.                                                                                                                                       The woman stood on the edge of the bridge, she was thinking, will the world even notice that I am gone, what good is my life in this world? The traffic passed by her without slowing down, people rode past her on bicycles lost in their own world, ear buds plugged out the sounds of the world. She could jump off the bridge and the world wouldn’t even notice.                                                                                                                                                     As the bus driver approached the bridge he saw the lone figure of a woman on the wrong side of the bridge guard rail, she was standing on the edge of the bridge ready to jump!  Luke 10:30-34 (NLT)                                                                                                               Parable of The Good Samaritan                                                                                          Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road.                              “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. A temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side.                                                                                                                                        “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.”                                      Without even thinking the bus driver stopped his bus on the bridge and opened the door, he walked over to the woman on the ledge and, gently offered his help and compassion. He held out his hand with Love for her, told her about The Love Jesus Christ has for all the lost and hurting people in the world.                                                                                               The Boundless Love of, Our Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ moved that woman off the ledge into the safety of the arms of a bus driver, who wondered what good he could do as a bus driver.                                                                                                                                               As Believers in The Gospel of Jesus Christ, we live in the same world as The Unsaved, The Lost and Unsaved do not know the great danger they face every day that they live outside the protection of a Loving Father God. We need to reach out to The Unsaved with Love, and at the same time hold on to our Christian Brothers and Sisters, who like us are in the battle for The Salvation of The Lost.                                                                                                 It is our human nature to react to evil with anger and hate, it is our duty as Christians to act as Jesus Christ does when we sin. Jesus Christ responds to us with Love and Compassion, we must see that The Lost and Unsaved have great pain without our judgement.                                                                                                                                            Do not let the turmoil of a world spinning out of control cause you to take your eyes off the finish line, we will have Eternal Life with Our Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ in His Father’s Heaven when our life is finished in this world, — The Word of God is True and Everlasting!                                                                                                                             Luke 15:4–7 (NLT)                                                                                                           Parable of The Lost Sheep                                                                                                     “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!”                                                                                                  Take some time to Pray for, The Peace and Wisdom, your Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ has promised is available from The Holy Spirit, — If You Ask!                                            If you want to read more about The Peace and Wisdom you will need to be a productive and useful Bond Servant of Jesus Christ, read the attached documents:-

Romans 1:16-17 (NLT)                                                                                                        God’s Power For Salvation                                                                                                 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ, It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes–the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith, As the Scriptures say, “it is through faith that a righteous person has life.”                                                                                                 Why is The True Faith in The Gospel of Jesus Christ enough to allow a sinful man or woman to enter the Kingdom of God; Can you earn a place in Heaven, (The Eternal Kingdom of Father God) by doing good works, or by the acts or blessings of some religious system?                                                                                                                                                      1 John 2:1-2 (NLT)                                                                                                              Jesus Christ The Advocate                                                                                                    My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins–and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. Your growing Faith in The Gospel of Jesus Christ will answer the questions about working your way into Father God’s Heaven. Your Faith in the free gift of Father God’s Grace is all that is needed to be forgiven of your sins, as a result of your Faith in The Gospel of Jesus Christ you will be granted Eternal Life in Father God’s Heaven.  True Faith in The Gospel of Jesus Christ will produce Justification, (The act of Father God, by which He pardons all the sins of those who believe in Jesus Christ), not as a result of your good works but by, — Faith Alone!                                                                 You will be seen by Father God just as if you had never sinned, having been washed clean of your sins by The Sinless Blood of Our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ.  The Voluntary, Painfully, Humiliating, Sacrificial Death, on the cross of God The Father’s Son, Jesus Christ, was and is the only path that will make any man or woman Acceptable to enter Father God’s Kingdom of Heaven.                                                 To learn more about Faith read the attached documents:

2 Timothy 3:15-16 (NIT)                                                                                                        How To Live A Godly Life                                                                                                    You have been taught the Holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Jesus Christ. All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.                                                                   What gift is more valuable than Gold and silver?                                                                        How can a man or woman find the path that will lead to their Salvation?                            What can instruct and teach them the way to the Restoration of a lost world, church, or religion?                                                                                                                                             Can you trust the teachings of a church or religion that has a doctrine that teaches, they alone can understand the wisdom and instruction found in The Bible?                     The Holy Word of God, The Bible is the one and only key to mankind’s understanding of Father God’s eternal plans for all mankind, and how we as humans can fit into God’s plan for our Salvation. Father God’s  free gifts to mankind The Bible, and The Holy Spirit are the most valuable and powerful gifts ever offered to the world. The Bible, this precious gift from Father God is the one and only rock solid corner stone, the foundation of all true and correct Christian Doctrine.                                                                                                                                     Galatians 1:6-9 (NLT)                       Reproof For Disloyalty                                        There Is Only One Good News                                                                                                I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who call you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News but is not the Good news at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.            Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you.  I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.                                Do you want to be part of the plan for Eternal Life in Heaven that Father God has created with His love for you?                                                                                                   The Holy Word of God, The Bible, and The Holy Spirit will be your guide and teacher, they will lead you to Salvation, Truth and Wisdom.                                               Do you want to read more about The Bible, what it is, and what The Bible can give to you?                                                                                                                                                     Read the attached documents: –

Psalm 19:1-4 (NLT)                                                                                                                Gods Glory In The Heavens                                                                                                The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.                                                                     All Glory, Honor and Adoration are to be directed to Father God alone.                 His Love and Grace are the sole reason that the Salvation of sinful mankind was accomplished.                                                                                                                                         It was by His will and actions that the All-Sufficient Blood Atonement of Jesus Christ on the cross took place. Only by His will were you saved from your sins by the Sinless Blood of Jesus Christ.                                                                                                                           Your Salvation is the direct work of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit; no man can take credit for the completed work of The Holy Trinity.                                                  John 3:16-18    (NLT)                                                                                                                   Father God’s Gift                                                                                                                  “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.” There is no judgement against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.”                                                                                                     God the Father provided The Lamb of God, your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to Save from judgement all who will accept His Son as Lord.                                When His Miraculous Resurrection completed the Redeeming work of The Lamb of God (Jesus Christ), He returned home to be with His Father in Heaven. We now pray for His Return for us.                                                                                                                After Jesus Christ was Resurrected from the dead, The Holy Spirit was sent to us to become our helper and guide, helping men and women to find the only way to be with Father God in His Kingdom of Heaven, for His Glory.                                                        In the beautiful mystery of The Holy Trinity, God has never departed from us in this world. He has kept His promise through the Holy Spirit, to never leave you alone in this lost and hurting world.                                                                                                                     The main foundation pillar of True Worship in Christian Faith is, “Glory to God Alone, All Glory is for God alone, and Him Only!                                                            You must stand on top of this pillar of True Worship and proclaim your devotion, love and fear for The Creator of The Universe, God The Father.                                                        To learn why All Glory is for God only, read the attached documents:

Ephesians 2:4-5 (NLT)                                                                                                         The Generosity of God’s Plan                                                                                             But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)                                       What priceless gift, worth more than silver and gold can Father God (The Creator of Heaven and Earth) give to His flesh and blood children man and woman, a gift that was paid for over 2000 years ago, and that gift will cost you nothing?                                            Is this priceless free gift of Grace  available for any man or woman?                               Your Father God is a God of Love and Justice, He has provided the path for you to be forgiven for your sins, and all you have to do is Believe in and Accept Father God’s Son (Jesus Christ) as your Lord and Savior. Then by your Belief in Jesus Christ, you will receive Father God’s free gift of Grace (unmerited favor) and the forgiveness of your sins.                                                                                                                                                   John 3:16 (NLT)                                                                                                                Father God’s Gift                                                                                                                  “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”                       As you turn away from your sinful life, (repent) you will be moved away from sin by the power of the Grace of Father God, and with the help of Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit,  the power of Grace will draw you closer to God.                                                    This nearness to Father God, if it is Genuine and Personal will not allow you to sin without feeling true remorse for your sins. When you feel this true remorse you must go to Father God in His Son’s name (Jesus Christ), and ask Him to forgive your sins. Father God’s Grace is Never-Ending and All-Forgiving, so that no failure on your part will cause Father God to give up on you when you fail to obey  His Laws, and sin.       You need to be Totally Dependent on Father God’s Grace, Your Heavenly Father, who is All-Understanding and All-Forgiving, He is the perfect Father.          This total dependence is needed because of your sinful state and weak physical nature,  Total Dependence on Father God’s Grace is required!                       Father God knows your condition and what you are made of, Father God is the one who created man and woman , He formed you out of the dirt you stand on.                         The Never-Ending Grace of Father God is, — The Gift That Keeps On Giving!         Read the attached document to learn more about Father God’s free love gift of Grace:

John 6:40 (NLT)                                                                                                                           The Bread Of Life                                                                                                                  “For it is my Father’s will that all who see His Son and believe in Him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.”                                          What will be required of every man and woman who hopes to find their final rest and peace in the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven with Father God? Who can remove the dark stain on your soul that a life of sin has created? Who will stand up for you, make you clean from sin and presentable at Father God’s final judgement? If you work real hard in this world to be a good person, and do good works will Father God forgive all your sins at the end of your life?                                                                                                                     The one and only path that will lead you to Eternal Life in Heaven with Father God, is to be washed clean of your sins by The Holy and Redeeming Blood of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.                                                                                                  The act of Never-Ending Love that Jesus Christ (The Son of God) provided with His Voluntary, Painfully Humiliating Death on the cross made available to all men and women, His free gifts of Grace and Salvation (the generous and unearned deliverance from judgement) for all who will Believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.                                                                                                                                      John 3:17-18 (NLT)                                                                                                                  To Be Reborn In Jesus Christ                                                                                          “God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him. There is no judgement against anyone who believes in Him. But anyone who does not believe in Him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.”                                                                                                 The Blood Atonement Death on the cross and the Resurrection (the act of rising from the dead) of Jesus Christ was His ultimate act of Love and His completed work.          No other work or act by men or women in this world will be accepted by Father God as payment for your sins. All your good works are seen by Father God as filthy rags, not worthy of notice next to The Sinless and Priceless Blood of  His Son Jesus Christ.  You cannot work our way to Salvation, Believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and be saved from judgement for your sins.

This is a re-post of the 04/04/2014 blog post, this post is needed now more than ever!     The most talked about and debated topic of modern times concerns ,The Value and Sanctity of Human Life, what will be The Final Destination for all men and women who are alive in This Lost World?                                                                                                   Can we as humans understand The True Meaning of Life?                                                    What will you experience at the end of your life on This Earth?                 

All men and women who are now living in The End -Times have been subjected to the humanistic view, that we as humans have the right to choose if and when Human Life can be Terminated. The lost and deluded people who promote this type of Sinful Termination, demand that human life has not been started until a baby is born and delivered outside the mother’s body, then they use this twisted logic to justify abortion of Unborn Children.                                                                                                                                  On the other side of the coin, Believers in The Gospel of Jesus Christ view All Human Life as Father God’s — Greatest Gift!                                                                 The Gift of Human Life is a Priceless Gift that all Christians should protect and defend, just as Human Life is Protected and Surrounded by your Father God’s Never-Ending Love!                                                                                                                                       All Christian Believers wants you to know your life in this world is Crucial, the most important point in all time. Use the short time that you have life in your body to make the decision to Confess your sins, Repent, and Accept Jesus Christ as Your Lord, and Savior.                                                                                                                                            This Life Changing Decision, will open the one and only door that you must pass through to be Granted Eternal Life in Father God’s Heaven.                                           Father God’s Love Gift of Grace (The unearned undeserved total forgiveness of sin) Eternal Life and The Forgiveness of Sin has been paid for in full, purchased with His Son’s Voluntary Sacrificial Death on The Cross, His Sinless Blood, His Life Giving Resurrection.                                                                                                                        1 Corinthians 15:50-55 (NLT)                                                                                            Our Final Victory                                                                                                              What am I saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will live forever.                                                                                                                       But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.                                            Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled:                                                                 “Death is swallowed up in victory.                                                                                      O death, where is your victory?                                                                                            O death, where is your sting?”

When I think about all the different ideas about Human Life and Death, I feel that all the debate is a good thing, but it is useless debate unless it addresses the core point that must be decided.                                                                                                                             What will be The Final Destination of all men and women when your life ends in this world?                                                                                                                                                   The non-Christian secular person will say that when life ends, all time stops and ends for the person that has stopped living, just a void filled with nothing. Others think that they will be recreated as some other life form or body, in a future time or place. Are you willing to Gamble on your Eternal and Final Destination, will you let chance or the World decide where you will Spend Eternity when you die?                                                                1 John 2:15-17 (NLT)                                                                                                                  Do Not Love This World                                                                                                      Do not love this world nor the things it offers to you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from the world, and this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave.
