My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity
depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if
you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?
God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be
born again.”
In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You
can be saved today. How?
First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23).
Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans
6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.
“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place.
“ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness
of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without
shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22).
“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
(Romans 5:8).
Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our
place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.
My friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of
mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they
said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ ”
Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God
resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is
received as Savior.
“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on His name” (John 1:12).
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.
Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner.
I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and
resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift
of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.”
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no
lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!
God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your
place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you
receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.
You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe
on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.
If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understand
it. Your soul is worth more than all the world.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).
Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very
moment.
God’s power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. “There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted
above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1
Corinthians 10:13).
Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change. After you are saved,
there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth:
Pray -- you talk to God.
Read your Bible -- God talks to you.
Witness -- you talk for God.
You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and
then unite with a Bible-believing church without delay. “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of
our Lord . . . .” (2 Timothy 1:8)
“Whosoever therefore shall confess [testify of] Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which
is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).
I feel ill with words of repentance and love
i could never forget what it felt like
to feel my heart drop and watch as
lonley insects swarmed around it
and fed off like a disease to a diagnosed patient
you no longer see me
What am i doing but holding back tears
and thinking of you
With this tainted image of me
with no longer love but disappointment
i'm still here
i just forgot i was human for a second
and that i can't just be some image
i have error
I long to hear your voice again
untainted with openness
i'm sorry for what i have done
i'm sorry
what have i done?
and for what i have done i am truly sorry
Words for you are like my pot of gold
let me not have spent my riches
but without this friendship i feel poor
though i will still reflect on what we had
and all of the potential...
7 Angels 7 Plagues - A Farewell To A Perfect Score (L)
At College, Djapi Aims-Dreams-Hopes-Wishes were to become a Medical Doctor after Universty Learnings-Studyings. But unfortunately, the "ADVANCED LEVEL=BACCALEAUREAT", without which, NO UNIVERSITY, Djapi wrote the Exams three good years accademics and ever failed, all of Djapi Ideas and Thoughts of University went in vain. At Twenty-nine years old, Djapi had wasted very long time on the School banches for nothing. Leaving and forgetting about Education, where Djapi registered the worser scores, Djapi throwed himself into the Active life regretting seriously so long time, so many efforts, so many courages, and everything Djapi set together to achieve successes in Education. Therefore, neither a handiwork nor whatever Djapi knew and could thereby earn his life. Had Djapi chosen, Technic at School, it will have been easy to look for the Job on which he would have studied, but it was not the case. Djapi wanted to be of those of "INTELLECTUALITY-LITERATURE".
What then could Djapi do?. Confused and Deceived, the Anger and Bitterness were within Djapi constantly and permanently. When Djapi laterall, Unexpectedly "RECEIVED THE WISE PROVIDENCE (Q:7:57)", which fed Djapi with New Hopes of "MILITARY EDUCATION (Q:8:15)", Djapi gained and won New Energies-Forces-Powers to "CONQUER" the other Alternatives. But when Djapi "RECEIVED THE FISRT DREAM (Q:7:206) OF LIFE", at twenty-nine years old, Djapi wasn't able to Comprehend and Understand the "SPIRITUAL LIFE-SPIRITUAL LIGHT (Q:6:122)", which ALLAH/GOD "BESTOWED or PROVIDED" UPON Djapi. The "REALITY and TRUTH PRINCIPLES (Q:41:35) OF Djapi enabled him to keep on Looking-Seeing-Watching things Physically as Usual. For Djapi was completely "SPIRITUALLY DEAD". But being the "WILL and PLAN" OF ALLAH/GOD, WHO "RESUURECTED Djapi (Q:6:122),(Q:7:58)}-WHO REVIVED Djapi (Q:57:17)", everything werer Moving and Working as Willed and Planned (Q:58:22). But Djapi remained Ignorant even after had been Greatly and Highy "BLESSED". At then exactly "THIRTY-FIVE (35) YEARS OLD", ALLAH/GOD CALLED DJAPI UNTO "LIFE PROBATION or TEST =REPENTANCE (AT 35 years old)".

Certain words: As "names" in (Q:2:31) is used for the "nature of things", so "WORDS" here means "INSPIRATION". The Arabic word used for "LEARN" here IMPLIES SOME EFFORTS on his part, to which ALLAH'S GRACE RESPONDED.

Good Luck!
series of reenactment of the passion of Christ. this particular program started at around 6am in the morning. the program reenacts the passion of christ (commonly known as the 14 stations of the cross) . In some countries there are catholic groups (such as this town) who literally stage this ritual, which could last for about two hours. there are certain places in which the whole the town is involved. the 14 stations (stages) are set up at predetermined locations. the program then begins with jesus being sentenced to death(1st station) up to jesus' body being laid in his sepulcher (14th station). the participants of this ritual are devotees who have made a vow (panata). the final station usually ends at the town church.
What causes karma?
Pujya Deepakbhai explains that the underlying wrong belief of who am I, is the cause of all karmas. All the activities-behaviour-speech of the body and ego are considered as your own - which leads to the binding of karma. The real Self-realization is to know and be aware that you are a pure Soul. Karta-bhaav is the root cause of all karmas. If one does anything wrong, then one should do bhav pratikraman (repentance) - seeking for forgiveness (in your mind) from the Soul of the person you hurt.

How Christ Conquered Bitterness
"When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly." [1 Peter 2:23]
No one was more grievously sinned against than Jesus. Every ounce of animosity against him was fully undeserved. No one has ever lived who was more worthy of honor than Jesus; and no one has been dishonored more. If anyone had a right to get angry and be bitter and vengeful, it was Jesus. How did he control himself when scoundrels, whose very lives he sustained, spit in his face? First Peter 2:23 gives the answer: “When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.” What this verse means is that Jesus had faith in the future grace of God’s righteous judgment. He did not need to avenge himself for all the indignities he suffered, because he entrusted his cause to God. He left vengeance in God’s hands and prayed for his enemies’ repentance (Luk.23:34). Peter gives this glimpse into Jesus’s faith so that we would learn how to live this way ourselves. He said, “You have been called [to endure harsh treatment patiently] . . . because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps” (1Pe.2:21). If Christ conquered bitterness and vengeance by faith in future grace, how much more should we, since we have far less right to murmur for being mistreated than he did?

Devotional excerpted from Future Grace, (page 267) - John Piper
The Cutty Stool Memorial in St. Giles, Edinburgh, where, in 1637, Jenny Geddes threw a stool of repentance at the dean, in protest against the imposition of an Anglicised prayerbook on the Calvinist congregation. A riot ensued, and ultimately, the National Covenant.
St Catherine's Monastery is the oldest, continuously functioning Christian monastery in the world. This view is from the descent from Mount Sinai via the 3000 Steps Of Repentance.
the catholic church has tried to convince the devotees from inducing self inflicted pains but the practice still continues. This ritual has since become tourist attractions for these towns. there are some locations in which the jesus performer is literally nailed to the cross. What is amazing is that the performer who portrays jesus can have himself literally nailed to the cross for many years, every holy week, until he completes his vow (panata). the vow maybe a penance for a past regression or it maybe for a fulfillment of a prayer
The Tribute Story # 13 | Repentance
***
Repentance is the doorway to the spiritual life, the only way to begin. It is also the path itself, the only way to continue. Anything else is foolishness and self-delusion. Only repentance is both brute-honest enough, and joyous enough, to bring us all the way home.
[Frederica Mathewes-Green, The Illumined Heart]

God sees what you are looking at on your computer, mobile phone, and whats going on in your mind.

Installed in the 1920s after a major renovation, the St. John the Baptist and Jesus window was created by Melbourne stained glass manufacturer Brooks, Robinson and Company Glass Merchants, who dominated the market in stained glass in Melbourne during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. The baptism of Jesus by his cousin John the Baptist is frequently placed in the baptistery, although it is not the case with St. Mark the Evangelist. The baptism of Jesus by John comes from the Book of Luke: "it came to pass that Jesus also being baptized and praying the heavens opened." The window depicts John baptizing Jesus in the River Jordan whilst the heavens open above them. The Holy Spirit flies at the top of the lancet window. The window signals the beginning of Jesus' public ministry, as related in the New Testament. John preached repentance and reinvigoration of religious practice, but did so from outside the heirachy of the Jewish religion, following the tradition of the Old Testament prophets. He is described as the one coming before jesus to announce his coming and reawakens people to their faith in God. His radical asceticism was a protest against the religious complacency commonplace in his lifetime. He used the act of baptism of his followers in the River Jordan as a central sacrament, whereby a follower's zeal for faithful worship in God was renewed.
Beneath the main depiction of Jesus' baptism by John, a smaller vignette of Jesus with the children appears. Jesus with the children comes from the Book of Matthew, where Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these." The window depicts Jesus with a young child sitting upon his knee, whilst three other small children gather at Jesus' feet.
Built amid workers' cottages and terrace houses of shopkeepers, St. Mark the Evangelist Church of England sits atop an undulating rise in the inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. Nestled behind a thick bank of agapanthus beyond its original cast-iron palisade fence, it would not look out of place in an English country village with its neat buttresses, bluestone masonry and simple, unadorned belfry.
St. Mark the Evangelist was the first church to be built outside of the original Melbourne grid as Fitzroy developed into the city's first suburb. A working-class suburb, the majority of its residents were Church of England and from 1849 a Mission Church and school served as a centre for religious, educational and recreational facilities. The school was one of a number of denominational schools established by the Church of England and was partly funded by the Denominational School Board.
St. Mark the Evangelist Church of England was designed by architect James Blackburn and built in Early English Gothic style. Richard Grice, Victorian pastoralist and philanthropist, generously contributed almost all the cost of its construction. Work commenced in 1853 to accommodate the growing Church of England congregation of Fitzroy. On July 1st, 1853, the first stone of St. Mark the Evangelist was laid by the first Bishop of Melbourne, The Right Rev. Charles Perry.
Unfortunately, Blackburn did not live to see its completion, dying the following year in 1854 of typhoid. This left St. Mark the Evangelist without an architect to oversee the project, and a series of other notable Melbourne architects helped finish the church including Lloyd Tayler, Leonard Terry and Charles Webb. Even then when St. Mark the Evangelist opened its doors on Sunday, January 21st, 1855, the church was never fully completed with an east tower and spire never realised. The exterior of the church is very plain, constructed of largely unadorned bluestone, with simple buttresses marking structural bays and tall lancet windows. The church's belfry is similarly unadorned, yet features beautiful masonry work. It has a square tower and broach spire.
Inside St. Mark the Evangelist Church of England it is peaceful and serves as a quiet sanctuary from the noisy world outside. I visited it on a hot day, and its enveloping coolness was a welcome relief. Walking across the old, highly polished hardwood floors you cannot help but note the gentle scent of the incense used during mass. The church has an ornately carved timber Gothic narthex screen which you walk through to enter the nave. Once there you can see the unusual two storey arcaded gallery designed by Leonard Terry that runs the entire length of the east side of building. Often spoken of as “The Architect’s Folly” Terry's gallery was a divisive point in the Fritzroy congregation. Some thought it added much beauty to the interior with its massive square pillars and seven arches supporting the principals of the roof. Yet it was generally agreed that the gallery was of little effective use, and came with a costly price tag of £3,000.00! To this day, it has never been fully utlised by the church. St. Mark the Evangelist has been fortunate to have a series of organs installed over its history; in 1854 a modest organ of unknown origin: in 1855 an 1853 Foster and Andrews, Hull, organ which was taken from the Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne's Collins Street: in 1877 an organ built by Melbourne organ maker William Anderson: and finally in 1999 as part of major renovation works a 1938 Harrison and Harrison, Durham, organ taken from St. Luke's Church of England in Cowley, Oxfordshire. The church has gone through many renovations over the ensuing years, yet the original marble font and pews have survived these changes and remain in situ to this day. Blackwood reredos in the chancel, dating from 1939, feature a mosaic of the last supper by stained glass and church outfitters Brooks, Robinson and Company. A similar one can be found at St. Matthew's Church of England in High Street in Prahran. The fine lancet stained glass windows on the west side of St. Mark the Evangelist feature the work of the stained glass firms Brooks, Robinson and Company. and William Montgomery. Many of the windows were installed in the late Nineteenth Century.
The St. Mark the Evangelist Parish Hall and verger's cottage were added in 1889 to designs by architects Hyndman and Bates. The hall is arranged as a nave with clerestorey windows and side aisles with buttresses. In 1891 the same architects designed the Choir Vestry and Infants Sunday School on Hodgson Street, to replace the earlier school of 1849 which had been located in the forecourt of the church.
The present St. Mark the Evangelist's vicarage, a two-storey brick structure with cast-iron lacework verandahs, was erected in 1910.
I am very grateful to the staff of Anglicare who run the busy adjoining St. Mark's Community Centre for allowing me to have free range of the inside of St. Mark the Evangelist for a few hours to photograph it so extensively.
James Blackburn (1803 - 1854) was an English civil engineer, surveyor and architect. Born in Upton, West Ham, Essex, James was the third of four sons and one daughter born to his parents. His father was a scalemaker, a trade all his brothers took. At the age of 23, James was employed by the Commissioners of Sewers for Holborn and Finsbury and later became an inspector of sewers. However, his life took a dramatic turn in 1833, when suffering economic hardship, he forged a cheque. He was caught and his penalty was transportation to Van Diemen’s Land (modern day Tasmania). As a convicted prisoner, yet also listed as a civil engineer, James was assigned to the Roads Department under the management of Roderic O’Connor, a wealthy Irishman who was the Inspector of Roads and Bridges at the time. On 3 May 1841 James was pardoned, whereupon he entered private practice with James Thomson, another a former convict. In April 1849, James sailed from Tasmania aboard the "Shamrock" with his wife and ten children to start a new life in Melbourne. Once there he formed a company to sell filtered and purified water to the public, and carried out some minor architectural commissions including St. Mark the Evangelist in Fitzroy. On 24 October he was appointed city surveyor, and between 1850 and 1851 he produced his greatest non-architectural work, the basic design and fundamental conception of the Melbourne water supply from the Yan Yean reservoir via the Plenty River. He was injured in a fall from a horse in January 1852 and died on 3 March 1854 at Brunswick Street, Collingwood, of typhoid. He was buried as a member of St. Mark The Evangelist Church of England. James is best known in Tasmania for his ecclesiastical architectural work including; St Mark's Church of England, Pontville, Tasmania (1839-1841), Holy Trinity Church, Hobart, Tasmania (1841-1848): St. George's Church of England, Battery Point, Tasmania, (1841-1847).
Leonard Terry (1825 - 1884) was an architect born at Scarborough, Yorkshire, England. Son of Leonard Terry, a timber merchant, and his wife Margaret, he arrived in Melbourne in 1853 and after six months was employed by architect C. Laing. By the end of 1856 he had his own practice in Collins Street West (Terry and Oakden). After Mr. Laing's death next year Leonard succeeded him as the principal designer of banks in Victoria and of buildings for the Anglican Church, of which he was appointed diocesan architect in 1860. In addition to the many banks and churches that he designed, Leonard is also known for his design of The Melbourne Club on Collins Street (1858 - 1859) "Braemar" in East Melbourne (1865), "Greenwich House" Toorak (1869) and the Campbell residence on the corner of Collins and Spring Streets (1877). Leonard was first married, at 30, on 26 June 1855 to Theodosia Mary Welch (d.1861), by whom he had six children including Marmaduke, who trained as a surveyor and entered his father's firm in 1880. Terry's second marriage, at 41, on 29 December 1866 was to Esther Hardwick Aspinall, who bore him three children and survived him when on 23 June 1884, at the age of 59, he died of a thoracic tumor in his last home, Campbellfield Lodge, Alexandra Parade, in Collingwood.
Lloyd Tayler (1830 - 1900) was an architect born on 26 October 1830 in London, youngest son of tailor William Tayler, and his wife Priscilla. Educated at Mill Hill Grammar School, Hendon, and King's College, London, he is said to have been a student at the Sorbonne. In June 1851 he left England to join his brother on the land near Albury, New South Wales. He ended up on the Mount Alexander goldfields before setting up an architectural practice with Lewis Vieusseux, a civil engineer in 1854. By 1856 he had his own architectural practice where he designed premises for the Colonial Bank of Australasia. In the 1860s and 1870s he was lauded for his designs for the National Bank of Australasia, including those in the Melbourne suburbs of Richmond and North Fitzroy, and further afield in country Victoria at Warrnambool and Coleraine. His major design for the bank was the Melbourne head office in 1867. With Edmund Wright in 1874 William won the competition for the design of the South Australian Houses of Parliament, which began construction in 1881. The pair also designed the Bank of Australia in Adelaide in 1875. He also designed the Australian Club in Melbourne's William Street and the Melbourne Exchange in Collins Street in 1878. Lloyd's examples of domestic architecture include the mansion "Kamesburgh", Brighton, commissioned by W. K. Thomson in 1872. Other houses include: "Thyra", Brighton (1883): "Leighswood", Toorak, for C. E. Bright: "Roxcraddock", Caulfield: "Cherry Chase", Brighton: and "Blair Athol", Brighton. In addition to his work on St. Mark the Evangelist in Fitzroy, Lloyd also designed St. Mary's Church of England, Hotham (1860); St Philip's, Collingwood, and the Presbyterian Church, Punt Road, South Yarra (1865); and Trinity Church, Bacchus Marsh (1869). The high point of Lloyd's career was the design for the Melbourne head office of the Commercial Bank of Australia. His last important design was the Metropolitan Fire Brigade Headquarters Station, Eastern Hill in 1892. Lloyd was also a judge in 1900 of the competition plans for the new Flinders Street railway station. Lloyd was married to Sarah Toller, daughter of a Congregational minister. They established a comfortable residence, Pen-y-Bryn, in Brighton, and it was from here that he died of cancer of the liver on the 17th of August 1900 survived by his wife, four daughters and a son.
Charles Webb (1821 - 1898) was an architect. Born on 26 November 1821 at Sudbury, Suffolk, England, he was the youngest of nine children of builder William Webb and his wife Elizabeth. He attended Sudbury Academy and was later apprenticed to a London architect. His brother James had migrated to Van Diemen's Land in 1830, married in 1833, gone to Melbourne in 1839 where he set up as a builder in and in 1848 he bought Brighton Park, Brighton. Charles decided to join James and lived with James at Brighton. They went into partnership as architects and surveyors. The commission that established them was in 1850 for St Paul's Church, Swanston Street. It was here that Charles married Emma Bridges, daughter of the chief cashier at the Bank of England. Charles and James built many warehouses, shops and private homes and even a synagogue in the city. After his borther's return to England, Charles designed St. Andrew's Church, Brighton, and receiving an important commission for Melbourne Church of England Grammar School in 1855. In 1857 he added a tower and a slender spire to Scots Church, which James had built in 1841. He designed Wesley College in 1864, the Alfred Hospital and the Royal Arcade in 1869, the South Melbourne Town Hall and the Melbourne Orphan Asylum in 1878 and the Grand Hotel (now the Windsor) in 1884. In 1865 he had designed his own home, "Farleigh", in Park Street, Brighton, where he died on 23 January 1898 of heat exhaustion. Predeceased by Emma in 1893 and survived by five sons and three daughters, he was buried in Brighton cemetery.
Brooks, Robinson and Company first opened their doors on Elizabeth Street in Melbourne in 1854 as importers of window and table glass and also specialised in interior decorating supplies. Once established the company moved into glazing and were commonly contracted to do shopfronts around inner Melbourne. In the 1880s they commenced producing stained glass on a small scale. Their first big opportunity occurred in the 1890s when they were engaged to install Melbourne's St Paul's Cathedral's stained-glass windows. Their notoriety grew and as a result their stained glass studio flourished, particularly after the closure of their main competitor, Ferguson and Urie. They dominated the stained glass market in Melbourne in the early 20th Century, and many Australian glass artists of worked in their studio. Their work may be found in the Princess Theatre on Melbourne's Spring Street, in St John's Church in Toorak, and throughout churches in Melbourne. Brooks, Robinson and Company was taken over by Email Pty Ltd in 1963, and as a result they closed their stained glass studio.

Answer: If we only accept the Lord Jesus’ redemptive work in the Age of Grace, but reject Almighty God’s work of judgment and chastisement in the last days, then we can never free from sin and become someone who does heavenly Father’s will and enters God’s kingdom. This is beyond doubt! Because Jesus’ work in the Age of Grace was redemption, He only gave man the way of repentance, according to the stature of people at that time, and let them understand some apparent truths and ways to practice. For example, confessing and repenting, bearing the cross, being patient and humble, sharing love, fasting, and baptizing. These are limited truths that people during that time could receive and achieve. As to other deeper truths for man’s disposition to be transformed, and for man to be purified, saved and perfected and so on, the Lord Jesus did not express them. It’s because people of that time had too small stature to bear them. Only when the Lord Jesus returns to work in the last days, will He bestow all the truth for the corrupt mankind to be saved and perfected, according to God’s management plan to save man and the needs of the corrupt mankind. As the Lord Jesus said, “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.” (John 16:12-13) The words of Lord Jesus are very clear that in the Age of Grace, He didn’t give corrupt mankind all of the truths they needed for their salvation. There are many higher and deeper truths, the truths that free man from his corrupt disposition and make him holy, and truths such as obeying God and knowing God. He didn’t tell them these things in the Age of Grace. So, Almighty God has expressed these truths about saving man in the last days to judge, chastise, purify, and perfect all those who accept His salvation of the last days. Finally, He’ll make them complete and bring them into God’s kingdom. Only then will God’s management plan to save man be thoroughly accomplished. If one only accepts the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus but rejects Almighty God’s work of judgment in the last days, he can never gain the truth and have his disposition transformed, nor become one who does God’s will, much less be qualified to enter God’s kingdom.
In the last days, mankind has been fully corrupted by Satan, filled with satanic poisons within. Mankind’s views, rules of living, outlook on life, and values are all against the truth and in opposition to God. They worship evil and have become God’s enemies. For a mankind so consumed with Satan’s corrupt disposition, if they are not severely judged, chastised, burned and purified by Almighty God’s word, how can they rebel against Satan and break free of its influence? How can they fear God and shun evil and become one who does God’s will? As we know, many long-time believers in the Lord passionately testify that Jesus is the Savior and labor hard for years. But because they don’t know God’s righteous disposition and have no fear of God, when Almighty God carries out His work of the last days, they judge and condemn God’s work, deny and reject God’s return, and even re-crucify the returned Christ in the last days. Such facts are compelling evidence that if man rejects God’s judgment and chastisement of the last days, the root of his sinning and his satanic nature can never be resolved, and all mankind will perish because they resist God. This is an undeniable fact! While believing in God, only if one accepts God’s judgment and chastisement in the last days can he gain the truth as his life, and become one who does the heavenly Father’s will, can he know God, be compatible with Him, and be qualified to enjoy God’s promises and be brought into His kingdom.

It is always a trill to see people coming to repentance and especially if you see a lot of people together making this import decision's as was the case during the large scale healing crusade our church had in a tent in Delft.

The farmstead of Repentancehill has been identified from oblique aerial views taken in April 2010 (RCAHMSAP 2010), situated about 320m SSW of Repentance Tower (NY17SE 2).
The remains of the farmstead are unroofed, though the current OS digital maps show it partially roofed. Visible are the remains of at least five structures or buildings, one of which is the L-shped in plan farmhouse and what may be a farmworkers cottage.
The farmstead is depicted as roofed on the 1st Edition of the OS 6-inch map ( (Dumfriesshire 1862, sheet lvii), which shows four roofed buildings with a well.

The Most Rev. Joseph R. Cistone, Bishop of Saginaw, celebrated Ash Wednesday Mass at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption in Saginaw on Feb. 18. To mark the beginning of the penitential season of Lent, Catholics receive ashes on their foreheads as a sign of repentance and mortality. The ashes come from blessed palms that were distributed last year on Palm Sunday and later burned.
The Church emphasizes the penitential nature of Lent and Catholics who are between the ages of 18 and 59 are called to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, meaning they should eat only one full meal and two smaller meals without eating between meals. Also, all who are 14 and older are called to abstain from eating beef, pork, poultry and food made from animal fat on those days and all Fridays during Lent.

New King James Version (NKJV)
For man also does not know his time:
Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.
New King James Version (NKJV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Romans 8:28
New King James Version (NKJV)
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

A monument called Zomachi, which symbolizes repentance and reconciliation, is especially poignant. There, every January, descendants of both slaves and slave merchants request forgiveness for those who perpetrated the injustices.

The Message of Fatima is not complicated. Its requests are for prayer, reparation, repentance, and sacrifice, and the abandonment of sin. Before Our Lady appeared to the three shepherd children, Lucy, Francisco and Jacinta, the Angel of Peace visited them. The Angel prepared the children to receive the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his instructions are an important aspect of the Message that is often overlooked.
The Angel demonstrated to the children the fervent, attentive, and composed manner in which we should all pray, and the reverence we should show toward God in prayer. He also explained to them the great importance of praying and making sacrifices in reparation for the offenses committed against God. He told them: "Make of everything you can a sacrifice and offer it to God as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication, for the conversion of sinners." In his third and final apparition to the children, the Angel gave them Holy Communion, and demonstrated the proper way to receive Our Lord in the Eucharist: all three children knelt to receive Communion; and Lucy was given the Sacred Host on the tongue and the Angel shared the Blood of the Chalice between Francisco and Jacinta.
Our Lady stressed the importance of praying the Rosary in each of Her apparitions, asking the children to pray the Rosary every day for peace. Another principal part of the Message of Fatima is devotion to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, which is terribly outraged and offended by the sins of humanity, and we are lovingly urged to console Her by making reparation. She showed Her Heart, surrounded by piercing thorns (which represented the sins against Her Immaculate Heart), to the children, who understood that their sacrifices could help to console Her.
The children also saw that God is terribly offended by the sins of humanity, and that He desires each of us and all mankind to abandon sin and make reparation for their crimes through prayer and sacrifice. Our Lady sadly pleaded: "Do not offend the Lord our God any more, for He is already too much offended!"

When I speak of the feasts I can actually speak fondly, and indeed do look forward to them. As we near the fall feasts, it is a time to remember the L_RD God and his Word. It is time to fully take into consideration the whole counsel of our Lord here. It is a time to think of renewal, rebirth, forgiveness, and a God who will indeed bless and keep his people. As our Lord said, “Except ye abide in me…you can do nothing.”
Although the church since the time of Constantine have changed the feasts into a more gentile state of mind and have left off the true nature of the feasts commanded by the L_RD himself; I have found that buried in history and nations is the fact that the feasts are as relevant today as they ever were.
