Black Friday 2009

Come before His presence with singing!

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. Prayers today for the Steel family in the passing of James, father, husband and also a dear friend of mine. Jim worked for me at Central Dauphin School District and also drove our personal rollback in Christmas parades.

Black Friday: Psalm 100:1 -,Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness, come before His presence with singing. (KJV)

This morning on the early news that showed hundreds of people lined up at a Target store here in Central Pennsylvania. Some of these folks had camped out all night to be first in line for the bargain presents for their children. All the time the news guy was telling us how bad things were.

Let me tell you just how bad things are. Someday there will be a real black day for some, and that is the day when the trumpet sounds and our Father in Heaven sends Jesus back for us who believe and have faith. I am sure that every pastor on this line and all of those who preach THE REAL TRUTH would love to see people camping out on Saturday night just to get in and get a front seat on Sunday Morning. I am telling you right now if people knew that Jesus was coming back say next Monday, there would be a line up at the churches for that last Sunday. But think of this, how many folks know so little that they would be lined up at the churches that don't preach the truth? They would be lined up at churches that teach about what I call "feel good religion".

Folks, since we do not know when our Lord Jesus is coming back, why not, why not, WHY NOT form that line this Sunday at churches that preach the truth? Why wait? In fact, in all reality if you do not have Jesus in your heart right now you should not wait one more minute for if Jesus would return right now, you would for sure have that black Friday. Or maybe I should really tell it like that is... a FIRE RED day. Folks, there is nothing wrong with shopping and the line ups and all the fun of Christmas, for it sure brings out the dollars and that makes for jobs and keeps our country moving. In fact I believe it is just one way that God has His hand on the economy. I am sure some will disagree with me on that...

Please, folks, as you shop till you drop to share your blessings also. Remember those men and women ringing the bells for Salvation Army. Drop in a five... and remember also the food pantries... and please remember this... People who are really needy, need food more than toys, and they are hungry 365 days a year, not just on Thanksgiving and Christmas days. I eat everyday, and so do most others, but some have none and we need to help them.

Dear Father in Heaven, Cover us today with the blood Of Jesus, and forgive our sins, my sins Lord, have me ready for the day that will be black for some, but not for me... I want to be in the clouds with You... In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.

Go forth sharing your blessings... love ya, dan.
