Here are some men and women who mocked God:
JOHN LENNON:
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966). Lennon, after saying t hat th e Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
TANCREDO NEVES (President of Brazil):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got t he votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
CAZUZA (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and
poet):
During a show in Canecão ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:
"God, that's for you."
He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.
THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC:
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said:
"Not even God can sink it"
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.
MARILYN MONROE:
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
"I don't need your Jesus".
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.
BON SCOTT:
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979
songs he sang:
"Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell".
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.
CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenne ss of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
"MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU."
She responded:
"ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE BOOT, CAUSE INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL"
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the boot was intact. The police said there was no way the bo ot could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the boot was a crate of eggs, none were broken.....
Boot means trunk.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

Tooth and Nail
Hanging on tooth and nail can pull out your teeth and nails.
One aspect of wisdom is knowing when to hang on
...and when to let go.

Yes, the court of law swears by the Bible.
Can fishbuff prove God does not exist in a court of law?
Thru this counter challenge from me n fishbuff response, we will see if he is a honest man with intellectual integrity.
I apply the same test he used to challenge Christians, let's see whether he Can stand the same test he applied to others shall we?

Am I Really Pure As Snow?
"My marriage broke up through no fault of my own."
I was very interested in this statement.
Twenty years ago my marriage broke up after my husband had
several affairs. I prayed nightly for nothing and no one to
come between us - a Job prayer - a prayer of fear based on my
own insecurities. After my husband left, he said he knew he
would have to be the one to go because I was committed
regardless. Actually it was fear of failure and loneliness that
kept me bound as a martyr. I realized it hurt my pride that
someone else could make him happier than I could.
After the breakup I committed my life to the Lord in a deeper
way. I was praying (probably complaining to the Lord) about my
husband's adultery. The Lord told me, lovingly but firmly, that
my mistrust, jealousy (He named several other negative
characteristics of mine) were as much sin to Him as my husband's
adultery. "Sin is sin!" He said. This pulled me up short. It
made it very easy to forgive my husband after I examined my
contribution to the situation.
A friend said recently that she had never heard me say anything
bad about my ex-husband. I'm glad because we had good times as
well as bad; and when he went, I lost my best friend. We very
seldom have contact; but when we do, we are comfortable with
each other. I wish that this could be so with more people in
this position. Too often the good is totally forgotten;
destroyed by back-biting, hatred and greed, even with
Christians. The Lord can turn any situation around and use it
for the good of everyone concerned, bringing glory to Himself at
the same time. That is my "Joseph Prayer" which I use often and
the Lord always answers because it is His will too.
One couple whom we were friends with went through a similar
scenario as we did, but her attitude was to make her life
interesting and ignore his behavior. He realized his lifestyle
was not productive and changed his ways, and their relationship
came back together. It is still together 20 years later.
Another thing the Lord showed me at that time is to ask Him to
show us the other person not the way we see them but the way
He wants us to see them. This helped enormously with my
situation and has helped others through the years as we've asked
it in their situations, not just marriage but friendships and
work situations. It applies anywhere.
Does attitude count so much? I believe it does even if it is to
make our life happier in difficult circumstances. Would my
situation have had a different ending if my attitude had been
different? We can never know but it certainly makes a
difference to our happiness. It makes it easier to be less
judgmental and more compassionate to others when we realize that
our little hidden behavior patterns are not hidden from God and
that they count to Him as much as the bigger ones that are
obvious as sin. In fact, the hidden flaws are the most
dangerous because they are weaknesses we can't allow for if we
don't know or won't admit they are there. They slowly erode any
relationship we enter into.
Afterwards I hid behind a wall I didn't know I had constructed.
I was afraid to commit to another person totally in case I got
hurt again. Only lately have I recognized it through the caring
Christian men the Lord has brought across my path. I have a
heart for older singles and part of my ministry is to help them
in the struggles they face accepting loneliness and aloneness
where it is not their choice in life but has been thrust upon
them.
I thank the Lord for what He showed me and that I was able to
accept it as truth and act upon it. Am I a saint? As a
Christian, yes; as a person definitely not, but I am learning to
assess things more through the eyes of the Lord's perception
when I take time to seek Him.
"My marriage broke up through no fault of my own." Until the
Lord showed me how He saw me, I would have said the same.
I wrote during a bad patch last year.
It promises hope in our bad times.

TWENTY THINGS TO REMEMBER
1. Faith is the ability to not panic.
2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you prayed, don't worry.
3. As a child of God, prayer is kinda like calling home every
day.
4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of
shape.
5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants
us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
8. Dear God: I have a problem. It's me.
9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.
10. Laugh every day - it's like inner jogging.
11. The most important things in your home are the people.
12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
(Preach it!)
13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
Come on in.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
16. We do not remember days but moments. Life moves too fast so
enjoy your precious moments.
17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it; otherwise
it's just hearsay.
18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again.
Just be sure to flush when you are done.
19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires
courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage
and risk-taking. Learn from the turtle, it only makes progress
when it sticks out its neck.
20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.
Your character is what you really are, while your reputation
is merely what others think you are. No matter the storm,
when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.
Leave gentle fingerprints on the soul of another for the
angels to read. I don't want to get to the end of my life
and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have
lived the width of it as well.

The Move
In order for God to take you to another place,
He must first move you from where you are.
The move often seems like disaster,
but it's only the creaking and groaning of a reluctant door.
