What is SALVATION?
Answer: GOD’S perfect solution to reconcile Mankind to Himself.
We got separated from God’s Holy presence because of our sinful act in the garden of Eden. It was decided from then, that disobedience led to death. Eternal Separation from His presence.
A cafe in New York City said Sunday it has barred US Rep. Dan Goldman as it does not serve “genocide enablers,” after the Jewish lawmaker stopped at the coffee shop.
Poetica Coffee posted a photo of Goldman on social media, writing: “We see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice?”
“We don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers,” the post said. “Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away.”
The shop said it refunded Goldman’s $9.82 purchase.
Goldman is a Jewish centrist who supports Israel’s existence, but has also been critical of the Israeli government and the war in Gaza, which was triggered by the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led invasion of southern Israel. Last year, Goldman said the war was a “humanitarian catastrophe” and called the Netanyahu coalition an “extremist government” that “unjustly hurts Palestinians.”

In challenging times, during moments of despair or uncertainty.
In those tough times, when you feel like giving up, when you feel like surrendering, take a moment, close your eyes and reflect on the Lord.

The Fires in California: A Sign of the End Times?
The devastating fires raging across California are a grim reminder of the fragile state of the world to come.
Lives are being upended, homes destroyed, and entire communities displaced.
For those with eyes to see and ears to hear, these events are pointing to something greater—a warning from the Almighty about the times we are living in.
The Bible speaks of fire as both a tool of purification and judgment.
In 2 Peter 3:10, it is written:
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
As we witness disasters like these fires, we are reminded of the labor pains described in Matthew 24:7-8:
“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
The Bible warns us that in the end times, there will be an increase in turmoil—natural, social, and spiritual.
These fires, coupled with other global crises, are surely a part of the “beginning of sorrows,” urging mankind to repent and turn back to God before it is too late.
While the physical fires consume forests and homes, we should also examine the fires within our own hearts.
Are we consumed with the things of this world, or are we seeking after God?
Now is the time to reflect and prepare, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s return is drawing near.
Let us pray and demonstrate Christ love for those affected by these fires, and let us also use this as an opportunity to share the Gospel, indeed.
Lastly warn others of the coming judgment and the hope found in Jesus Christ.
As Romans 10:13 declares:
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
The signs of the times are clear. The question is:
Are you ready?
Now that Ohio State is heading to the National Championship game, here’s a quick reminder that many of their players are Christian & even held a worship service on campus earlier this season where dozens of students were baptized 🙌🏼
