The Sunsets of Our Lives!




We are all approaching the sunsets of our lives. For some, it will come when we are very young. For most, when we are very old. We may get there full of vim and vigor. Or, we may get there bowed down by ill health.

However we get there...and whenever we get there...we WILL get there!

What is on the other side of that sunset? Do you know? Are you sure? Are you willing to risk your eternal life on it?

There is only One who really knows what is on the other side...the One who made both this side and that. He tells us in His Word what awaits us on the other side.

There are only two options really. Which option is yours? Do you know where you are headed? Are you sure?

Yahweh God says in His word that there will be many who think they are headed one way on the other side of sunset, only to discover they are actually going the other way.

The only way to know for sure which direction you are headed in is to read what the Creator has said about it in His written Word...the Bible. We must pay attention to what His Son, Yeshua/Jesus...the living Word...said about it. All else is simply the ideas of mere humans.

I know that there are many who say that there are many ways to God...but that is not what Yahweh God said. His Son Yeshua said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

It is not about religion. It is not about "Christianity" or what some people mistakenly think "Christianity" is. It is about what Yeshua said about Himself and about His Abba/Father.

Before you head into the sunset...a sunset that could really come at any moment...I hope that you have checked it out for yourself.

I have put my trust in Yeshua. If I am wrong, I lose nothing. But if I am right, then anyone who rejects Yeshua will lose everything. According to Yeshua, refusing to accept is the same as rejection. It is a conscious choice we all must make.

I am not talking about the YeshuaJesus that some people "think" He is...I am talking about the true Yeshua of the Bible. I hope you check Him out without delay.

Who's Piloting Your Craft?

Boy...I sure can be like a little child in the cockpit...fascinated by all the dials and gauges and yet having absolutely no clue as to what they are all about! If I were to try and fly a plane...oh boy! IF we even got off the ground, we probably would not stay in the air...or make it back down safely!

Nope! If I have to fly somewhere, I will let someone ELSE do the piloting, thank you! Someone who is trained. Someone who knows how to fly and where we are going. I don't want someone who does not know about the aircraft or how to get to our destination to try and fly me there. That includes me! I want to know that I am in capable hands.

Most of us would not even consider getting into an airplane flown by someone who is obviously untrained, inexperienced and lacking in knowledge. I don't know of anyone who would attempt to fly himself or herself without training and experience. Clearly, the best choice is to stick with a reputable airline that uses trained personnel. That is the obvious choice, right? People are not typically going to put their physical lives in that kind of danger!

Yet, we are also on a journey of far greater importance! A journey called "life". We are all headed to a destination...a destination we will arrive at after we die. The question is...are we placing our spiritual lives into the hands of Someone who knows about the destination choices? Someone who knows how to get us there safely?

We can rely upon the so called "wisdom" of humans...or...we can turn to the One who made us and let Him guide us there. I don't know about you...but I am not going to entrust my spiritual wellbeing to anyone other than the One whom I know is capable of getting me through life and safely to my final destination any more than I would entrust my physical wellbeing to someone who is not capable of flying the plane!

There is only One who is that capable...the One who made all the universe...including little old me. Yahweh God, His Son Yeshua/Jesus and His Spirit. They are getting me through this life. They will bring me safely to my final destination. What is my destination? Well, the one Yahweh created me for! The one He created for me!
