YOU SHALL NOT MOCK GOD

Came across this article in our www.misyononline.com/misyonforum Kind of dropped my jaw and left me speechless. I'm reposting this just to share, hoping this will get you guys thinking.


DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death! Make a personal reflection about this...Very interesting, read until the end....

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):'Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women who mocked God:

John Lennon (Singer):Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: 'Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him' (1966). Lennon, after saying th at the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil):During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet): During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:’ God, that's for you.' He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.

The man who built the Titanic: After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: 'Not even God can sink it' The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic. Marilyn Monroe (Actress): She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: 'I don't need your Jesus'. A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.

Bon Scott (Singer): The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:'Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'.On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

Campinas (IN 2005): In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend...The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: 'My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.'She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here...It's Already Full 'Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken.

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer):Said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written. In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and He is still alive.

WOUNDED WARRIOR

Everything I want to say right now, is in this song...




I need you God. The warrior is wounded.

TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHERGOOSE

I met Mira at Singles for Christ gathering in 1995. Since then, God assigned her to be my mothergoose. *wide grin*

Up till today, it is a wonderment on my part how she believes I am one of the best. Truly, it humbles me and blesses me to have her as a friend, believing in me and treasuring me like I were a priceless stone. When I think of her, I think of how God is so fond of me.

Back in college, she would often visit me at school, always with something to eat. She would patiently wait for my classes to finish and would just watch me devour whatever food she brought with her. She would smile her sweetest and most content smile watching me eat heartily. And then we would talk the hours away, most of the time it would be me talking and she would listen to me with incredible eagerness. We both love dissecting things that we see, touch, feel, hear. And I guess that's one thing that keeps us glued to each other, up to this day, no matter the distance.

I love her in a way that I cannot put into words. It's not only because she loves me perhaps even more, not only because she's my mothergoose, but because God has put both of us through similar paths to pain and suffering. And because of it, we find meaning in the slightest, tiniest detail of our lives. Mira has got the most profound mind I have ever known. Her words of wisdom is, to me, an oaises in the desert.

Because it's her birthday, I've come up with a little trivia about her.

1. Loves The Carpenters and can sing their songs too well!
2. Petpeeve: noisy, shallow people
3. Donuts will never be donuts without coffee
4. Superb cook. 'superb' meaning the best, amazing, you'll forget your name
5. She was once crazy over the name Luis *naughty grin*
6. She named her daughter after my favorite author Maeve Binchy
7. She named her son after my beloved mentor Fr Niall O'Brien
8. Loves to watch CSI
9. She still memorizes lines from Bugs Bunny
10. She talks to the sunset. Most of the time, it talks back. *sheepeesh grin*

Happy birthday Mir. You have no idea how much I miss you, how much I long for the days when I would run to you and be the child that nobody understands. I always had you to save my day, and I miss that. When I am at my worst, you know too well how to help me bounce back, you got the right words to hush my stubborn heart. You tame me, by letting me go and wander and explore. You argue with me, by agreeing first and listening to what I want to say. 'You are the crowd that sits quiet, listening to me and all the mad sense I make' so goes our favorite song. Thank you, for all that you are to me.

I love this photo. She's a picture of happiness here.

Look at that...so touching. Willy is an amazing dad and husband to Mira
and I thank God for that.

My favorite photo of Niall!! I was laughing too hard at my own caption.
