"The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father." (Matthew 13:41-43)
"For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves ... So my heavenly Father will also do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother or sister from your heart."
(Matthew 18:23-35)
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats . . . And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." (Matthew 25:31-32 - 46)
"Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." (Matthew 7:21)

hi there
thought I'd drop by (by way of Boatman's site) and say hi. by now you have seen the havoc that has been wrought at Joel's. I will miss your comments and fellowshipping with you. You can drop a note at my spot anytime-I keep in touch by email with wilma and marge. your comments will go through the moderator function so bear with me sometimes I don't check my blog all that frequently
Hi Alesia,
I really miss discussing things at Joels sight. I guess he had to shut down due to all the garbage.
Do you know if there are other places like that people who are interested in end times can go to?
It was fun!
I miss all those people!
I hope everything is going well with you and that you all had a nice Christmas.
I hope you all have a wonderful new year, too.
OH great, I'll check it out right away!
I miss everyone!:)
And I am dying to know what happened at Joels.
After I posted my last post I have no idea what took place!
Donna,
Here's what happened...
You know there were the nasty mice posts regarding Grumpy - well that morning there were a few anonymice comments & then Francine threw in a few dumb posts as well. Grumpy accused Francine (Teresita, whomever) of being one of the mice & for being Teresita. She went ballistic - she wrote a F*** you, grumpy, post along with several more choice sware words.
The funny thing is she didn't deny she was Teresita, she was just really mad about being accused of posting anonymously.
Lori (campsmore) I believe reported her to the webmaster & about 15 minutes later the comment section was shut down.
I don't think shutting down was the wisest reaction. If the site does come back up, then the mice will know what to do to cause dissent and that will make anyone gun-shy of reporting anything again.
I hope & pray that Joel realizes the importance of the blog for fellowship & guidance.
I've been searching the world over for a specific verse that I can not find & know that if I was able to ask the question at Joel's I'd of had the answer in 2 minutes.
I was having a really good discussion with my niece about God - she is an unbeliever (sort of) She says she sometimes prays to God, but admits she doesn't know if she believes. She says she's mad sometimes because she feels He doesn't hear her or care about her & that makes her believe He doesn't exist. I was trying to tell her that if she doesn't believe in Him, He isn't going to respond/hear to her. There is the verse that says something like "If you don't know me, the Father will not know you" but for the life of me can't find it.
You can imagine, I was praying like crazy the whole time I was talking to her & I think it went really well, she seemed interested & receptive. Thanks to God's help, I think this may have been the 1st time I've witnessed to someone & it went really well. Woo-hoo!
So, with all my babbling, does anyone know where I might find that verse? I'm seeing her again tomorrow & would like to be able to quote it.
Thanks
Well done with your witnessing. I'm not sure of the specific verse you're thinking of but this may address the question:
Does God hear / answer the prayers of a sinner / unbeliever?
Now this is more like it!
It's just great connecting with you Alesia and Mac!
I got a little worried there for a while!
As far as that verse goes, how about this one:
"You do not know me or my Father, Jesus replied. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
John 8:19 (b)
Everybody have a safe New Year's eve!
Hello Alesia my sweet sister Chick!! Thanks for the heads up on the blogs...I have missed you all terribly! So good to see Wilma and Donna and Mac et al...We need to find the rest!
Happy New Year all...God Bless!
Hi guys,
I'm here...I have Alesia, Wilma and Boatman's blogs "favorited" so I've been watching them for posts this week. Hopefully Joel's will get up and running again, but if not, we can start fresh on one of these.
Kinda makes you think this is what it will be like after the Rapture....people will have to start from scratch and reconnect with whatever is left. I've felt the void all week, but sure have got a lot more housework done!
Blessings for '08!
Jen
Thanks Alesia,
See you at the cave!
Happy New Year!
lori
Love the new rabbit!
Blog's lookin' mighty fine...ma'am.
I was only on line for about ten minutes today. But I got your message re your blog redo. All I can say is...WOW! Well done!
I like Grant Jeffery.
Good info there.
God Bless,
BrotherMark
What the....Every time I come back something's changed. Dare I say, it's evolving nicely?
Hi Alesia, Your blog is absolute wonderful and I know you have spent some quality time putting it all together and I want to thank you for it.
I went to the Christian Book store today and although it is my favorite haunt, I just didn't find all of the things there that interest me like we have available on the net. So, I am going to download Berner's book The Silence is Broken and that way I can have my cake and eat it too. Besides, I can enlarge the print to the size that I can see without straining.
I love the Cave and I just want you to know that I prefer the conversations there far more than at Joel's. However, as you said, Joel's has a broader range of seekers and I will contribute when the Holy Spirit leads me but I just wanted to let you know, my appreciation for you and Mac grows greater every day.
Have a wonderful Sunday and hope it is without any kind of storm. Snow is pretty but I prefer looking at it on TV.
Love you,
Grany Wilma
Grany Wilma,
I love you too. I am so thankful to the Lord for putting you in my life's path!
The blog has been fun putting together. In my search for worthwhile material, I am learning SO MUCH. I'm not sure who will benefit more, me or the people I put it together for :)
Yes, I so love the cave too, isn't it marvelous?
God bless you always, sweetie!
Amen!
