Three elderly men are at the doctor's office for a memory test. The doctor asks the first man, "What is three times three?" "274," came the reply. The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three times three?" "Tuesday," replies the second man. The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times three?" "Nine," says the third man. "That's great!" says the doctor. "How did you get that?" "Simple," he says, "just subtract 274 from Tuesday."
There was a time when this would have been unbelievable, but this is exactly the logic that the world is currently operating on. Let's face it, we are no longer shocked when we watch the news or read the paper because wrong seems right and right seems wrong to the world. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! The bright side of this is that Jesus is soon to return. These are all just signs that God told us about in His word. Matthew 24:11-14, And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. I'm so glad that the end is only the beginning for the child of God. What about you? Are you prepared? Real love is telling someone the truth about sin and its costs. Jesus paid the price for all. We only have to turn to Him for forgiveness and accept Him as our Savior. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. If you have any questions or need more help, please contact me.
