Better not be the false alarm that I got in Hawaii of a North Korean missile. People were hiding under the tables. I saved the screenshot just to tell my grandkids one day.

We are living in evil days
, and pearless times. Those who wants to become a Christian, salvation is as close as your own mouth and heart. People think it must be a complicated process. but it is not. Romans 10:8, 9 If we believe in ours hearts and say with our mouths that Christ is the risen Lord we will be saved. There will be times when people will let is down and when circumstances will take a turn for the worse. God's offer of salvation will never disappoint us. Christ will never let is down. Everyone who believes in him will be saved( Romans 10:13).I pray that God will keep a shield of protection around his people, in the Name Of Jesus the Christ.
