Jesus Christ - The World's Savior and Redeemer

The Rainbow Belongs to God...

15 We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. 17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. 18 So encourage each other with these words.

Psalm 84:11-12 NLT 11 For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.     He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing     from those who do what is right. 12 O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,     what joy for those who trust in you.

Matthew 24:37-39 NLT 37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 4:5 NLT 5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.

But always measure everything by the Bible. Our goal is not freedom from all boxes, but freedom from every box except the biblical one. "Eyes wide open, brain engaged, heart on fire." (by Lee Brainard)

8 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. 9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”  So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
