Welcome back, Friends,
This is my second weekly blog post. I wanted to tell you about the series my youth director at my church, Longview First United Methodist Church (FUMC), which she calls ‘The Masks We Wear’. This series is about the different ways we please society, and how we hide our true self and faith. One thing that I like about it is this quote:
Pleasing people gives you nothing;
Pleasing God gives you power.
And that is true. When you fall into the pit of society, you may unknowingly worship false idols, and as revelation states:
14The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
If you stray far enough from God, or never look to him, you are liable for hell, or the lake of fire. When this will happen, no one knows. But it could happen in a few minutes, tomorrow, or thousands of years from now. But it will happen, and fun fact: Revelation is the only book in the Bible that hasn’t happened yet. John wrote this book off of a vision that God showed him. It is also, in my opinion the most cryptic book in the Bible, using descriptive imagery that could be literal or figurative.
I encourage you to read the Bible daily, and get one if you don’t have one. Spread the gospel, and let the light of Jesus Christ himself shine through you like a lighthouse in the night. Also check out the music I have posted on my other pages, which you can access through the menu at the top.
May God’s light shine through you always.
Until the world meets Jesus,
-Joshua C.
