Everything in This Life Is On a Fault line

 

 

I just came back from El Salvador and what a powerful time we had in the Lord. It is always a blessing to be able to preach the good news of Jesus Christ. There was one experience that I will never forget; I experienced my first earthquake. It was around 2:30 in the morning and my friend in the next bed said “wake up we’re in an earthquake”.  The room shook for about 20 to 30 seconds and then it was over. I wasn’t really afraid but it was one of the strangest experiences of my life, and it did give me a feeling of vulnerability.

 

It made me realize move than ever before, everything in this life is on a fault line. There are so many people living on this planet who have never accepted Jesus Christ as the savior of their life. All of their hopes and dreams are here in this world and one day it will all crumble. Jesus spoke of this in the sermon of the mount,

 

Matthew 7:26-27 (NKJV)
²⁶ “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: ²⁷ and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

 

Paul also spoke along these lines,

 

2 Corinthians 4:18 (NKJV)
 ^{18 b}while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

 

The writer of Hebrews said it this way,

 

Hebrews 12:26-28 (NKJV

  ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, ^l“Yet once more I ²shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” ²⁷ Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the ^mremoval of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.  ²⁸ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we ³may ⁿserve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

 

 

Note, this verse say there is a kingdom which cannot be shaken.  The unshakable kingdom is the one headed by my savior Jesus Christ. If you want you live to be built on a solid unshakable foundation accept Jesus offer of salvation today.

 

Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV)
  ⁹ that ⁱif you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
