When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!" Matthew 27:34What does it take for people to believe in Jesus and then once believing to spend time with him? As the verse above indicates when Jesus was dying a horrible death on the cross once the earthquakes and other events occurred, one of the guards uttered these words in my title. Why does it take catastrophe to get unbelievers to believe?You may know friends or family who have a casual relationship with the Lord and by this I mean they say they believe and nothing more. That hurts my heart so much but only the Holy Spirit can bring change. Or others have completely turned away from Him and live to please their flesh. That too breaks my heart. So many are mad at God cause he did not heal a family member or friend.
The real enemy is Satan who has lied to our loved ones and made them complacent believers. They don’t need church. They don’t need to spend time alone with the Lord.Don’t allow this to happen to you. Stay in the word. Get in a strong church where you can’t wait for Sunday to come. And continue to pray for the eyes of the spiritually blind to re open.PRAYER: Lord Jesus I thank you for being in a free country where I am allowed to worship you. I pray for those close to me who have lost that love that it may return in a big way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Parents: Saturday mornings tune in to Superbook on CTN a great show teaching Biblical truth to children (and to adults who watch it with them. Why waste brain cells on secular cartoons? )

Becky: You have a very good message here. Sometimes, it takes a tragedy in the lives of some people to get them to realize their need for God. This is hard to say but I have seen it happen.
