Matt 724-27 "Therefore everyone who hears these
words of mine and puts them into practice is like
a wise man who built his house on the rock. The
rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds
blew and beat against that house yet it did not
fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
But everyone who hears these words of mine and
does not put them into practice is like a foolish
man who built his house on sand. The rain came
down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and
beat against that house, and it fell with a great
crash."

We flee the coming destruction!
Posted on Sat, Sep. 11, 2004
21
We go to great trouble, expense, and
inconvenience to protect ourselves and our loved
ones.
And that provokes a serious question
22
Why dont more people go to that kind of effort
to save themselves from the coming judgment by
the Lord?
Matt 713-14 "Enter through the narrow gate. For
wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads
to destruction, and many enter through it. But
small is the gate and narrow the road that leads
to life, and only a few find it.
23
Matt 1340-42 "As the weeds are pulled up and
burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of
the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels,
and they will weed out of his kingdom everything
that causes sin and all who do evil. They will
throw them into the fiery furnace, where there
will be weeping and gnashing of teeth
24
Matt 188-9 If your hand or your foot causes you
to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is
better for you to enter life maimed or crippled
than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown
into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to
sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is
better for you to enter life with one eye than to
have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
25
Matt 2541-43 "Then he will say to those on his
left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into
the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his
angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing
to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to
drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me
in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I
was sick and in prison and you did not look after
me.'
26
Matt 2442-44 "Therefore keep watch, because you
do not know on what day your Lord will come. But
understand this If the owner of the house had
known at what time of night the thief was coming,
he would have kept watch and would not have let
his house be broken into. So you also must be
ready, because the Son of Man will come at an
hour when you do not expect him.

Mark 1333 "Take heed, keep on the alert for you
do not know when the appointed time is.
Shouldnt we be even more diligent in tracking
our readiness for our encounter with the Lord?
Matt 2444 So you also must be ready, because the
Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not
expect him.
Heb 610-12 God is not unjust he will not forget
your work and the love you have shown him as you
have helped his people and continue to help them.
We want each of you to show this same diligence
to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.
We do not want you to become lazy, but to
imitate those who through faith and patience
inherit what has been promised.

2 Peter 110-11 Therefore, my brothers, be all
the more eager to make your calling and election
sure. For if you do these things, you will never
fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into
the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ.
31
So build your life on the Lord Jesus ChristSo
build your life on the Lord Jesus ChristSo build
your life on the Lord Jesus Christ And the
blessings will come down The blessings will come
down as the prayers go up The blessings will come
down as the prayers go up The blessings will come
down as the prayers go up And you'll grow and
grow and grow!
Matt 721-23 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord,
Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only
he who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord,
Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in
your name drive out demons and perform many
miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, 'I
never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
