David Wilkerson's Message

Today I posted a warning from David Wilkerson on my other blog (see side bar on the right ----> )

My heart has been very heavy lately, I sincerely hope and pray that many will heed the warnings and will be given the gift of repentance and true faith.

Our Old Maple Tree

the only photo I could find (I know I have others but too lazy to look right now)

of the maple tree we took down

...took this a few weeks ago when we noticed the wasp nest

about 25 or so feet up

Last week hubby decided to have our old maple tree cut down. She was old and every little breeze blew off branches. A couple of weeks ago we had some really strong gusts that knocked a big wasp nest right onto the spot where we often park the car close to our back door.

It took the tree guys less than two minutes to bring her down. Then they removed the branches from the main trunk and asked me if I wanted to keep the wood chips. At first I said “no” and then thought they would be great for keeping the weeds down by the fence, but I didn’t realize there would be so many! So the rest of the day was spent moving wood chips, wheelbarrowfulls of chips.

After many trips with the wheelbarrow and the pile of chips only half of what it was at the beginning, I decided it was time to quit for that day. I came into the house, checked my phone, 8 messages from my husband “Don’t keep the wood chips!!!” LOL



....it’s good the tree is gone, more morning sun shines into our little kitchen, no more piles of maple leaves to rake and humongous branches to drag to the garden rubbish pile...and yet I kinda miss her.

On the Topic of Alice Gallagher

It’s a touchy sore point for me, and it is probably the main reason I stopped visiting this blog, but there is unfinished business in it for me. It made me angry to think that someone I had counted as such a wonderful friend could have lied about her love of Jesus, and turn against Him by proclaiming that she “no longer” believes in Him.

And because “the falling away” became that personal, that painful, I did a lot of soul searching and internet searching on the topic of the falling away, and although I have been angry that she had me fooled (probably because it made me feel so foolish) I still cared very much as evidenced by how much I was bothered by it. At every thought of her, and people like her, who make false confessions of faith, I pray that one day she will to the blessing of herself and all who know her, will come to TRULY love and confess Jesus as her Lord and Saviour.

 Over the recent years there has been a veritable flood of people falling away from faith in Christ. It seems that even many pastors are confessing that they do not really believe what they have been preaching for years. Jesus did warn us that this would be one of the signs we would encounter in the last days, and mockers of course  mock that the “last days” have gone on for centuries, yet while true the Apostle Peter spoke on that topic...one day God’s patience will run dry for this world, and I continue to pray that Alice and the many others like her won’t be found on the wrong side of that ending.

I believe there are many  that, like Alice did in the past, put on a charade, pretending to believe and giving a very convincing performance, and not born of the Spirit...they too will eventually fall away.

This sermon by Henry Mahan speaks on the topic of being “Religious But Lost”.
