I’ve been thinking, praying, and seeking the Lord lately. Not just about this current situation in the world, but also about me and my situation. I’ve just finished reading through the book of Jeremiah in the Bible. One thing that struck me is that after Jeremiah had warned Judah about the coming destruction of Jerusalem and Judah by the king of Babylon, God also gave the message to Jeremiah that they should repent. Before you tune out, please listen to all I have to say. I would like to say that this is a message to me. In fact, true repentance of a nation or of the world is made of individuals. God was willing to relent of His judgement if Judah would repent. God is consistent on this message. God is good, and finds no pleasure in our punishment, but what He really wants is for us to submit and obey Him. When we do, we find His love, not wrath.
Jeremiah 26:3 (NASB95)
3 ‘Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his evil way, that I may repent of the calamity which I am planning to do to them because of the evil of their deeds.’
Ezekiel 33:11 (NASB95)
11 “Say to them, ‘As I live!’ declares the Lord God, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?’
From beginning to end, Jesus’ message was to repent, and believe in the Gospel. Early in His ministry He preached this:
Mark 1:14–15 (NASB95)
Jesus Preaches in Galilee
14 Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
After He was resurrected, He said this:
Luke 24:45–47 (NASB95)
45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
46 and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,
47 and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
I want to take heed to this and address sin in my life. It’s a struggle, but I can struggle harder than I have been.
We all fall short, but the Good News is that if we repent and believe in the Good News, we can have eternal life, and this gives hope beyond anything that can come along. The Good News is this: that Jesus was, and is, and always will be the Son of God. He came in the flesh and lived a perfect life, and because of this He was able to become a sin sacrifice for us. He took our sins and died on the cross, but He arose from the dead after three days. If you repent and believe in Him and this Good News you will be forgiven and have eternal life.
By the way, repentance does not just mean to be sorrowful, but to change your mind to agree with God that if you have sin to stop and correct it with God’s help. Also, repentance is not just negative. The law of God is summed up that we should love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength; and love our neighbor as our self. Love is not negative, but the way Jesus has instructed us about, and He also gave us an example of.
I don’t know all of God’s mind about His reasons for this disease and following effects, but I do know God has always wanted us to repent. And I know that He wants us to believe in Jesus His Son. I am taking this to be a shot across the bow. We have a choice before us. The right choice is to make a positive change.

The one time we did have sex was awful. Gabby seems to have bigger issues than a lack of
tactfulness, but thanks for being so kind!

3. The presence of a moderator in a chat room gives viewers an incentive to
behave well. She stays strictly non-nude as well. While not the fastest or easiest way to crack
a console, the process is very interesting from an academic perspective and the
paper is well worth a read. In the way of variety there’s not much here,
but if you’re looking for a lot of boobs, naked (mostly white) women and porn screengrabs, this is where it will
be. One redditor told Motherboard that the “Petabyte Porn Project”
now stores more than 12 terabytes of porn per
day on Amazon’s cloud, and that many users were close to
meeting the two-petabyte mark. The preview pics are updated constantly though
so you have a good overview of what each model is
doing right now. Especially Flirt4free now has the 2-way interactive sex toy experience.
Bongacams, Flirt4free and Camster has cam2cam too!

Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after reading through some of the post
I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back often!
Hi there to all, how is the whole thing, I think every one is getting more from this
site, and your views are fastidious for new viewers.
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment
is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thanks a lot!
I?m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that?s both equally educative and interesting,
and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something that too few men and women are
speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I stumbled across this in my search for something regarding
this.
Good day! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and
tell you I really enjoy reading your articles. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums
that deal with the same topics? Thanks!
This is the right website for anyone who really wants to understand this topic.
You know a whole lot its almost tough to
argue with you (not that I really would want to…HaHa).
You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject
which has been written about for decades. Great stuff, just wonderful!
