IN OLD TESTAMENT TIMES !

~ PROVERBS CHAPTER TWENTY THREE ~
VERSE: 27 ~ " For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. " VERSE: 28 ~ " She also lieth in wait for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men. " ~ VERSE 29 ~ " Who hath woe ? who hath sorrow ? who hath contentions ? who hath babbling ? who hath wounds without cause ? who hath redness of eyes ? " VERSE: 30 ~ " They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. " VERSE: 31 ~ " Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in a cup, when it moveth itself aright. " VERSE: 32 ~ " At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. " VERSE: 33 ~ " Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. "

~ MATTHEW CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR ~
VERSE: 37 ~ " But as the days of No'-e were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. " VERSE: 38 ~ " For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marring and giving in marriage, until the day that No'-e entered into the ark, VERSE: 39 ~ And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. "

WHAT HE SAW
~ ~ ~ A WORLD THAT HIS SON DIED FOR, ~ ~ ~
FULL OF WICKEDNESS !
~ II TIMOTHY CHAPTER THREE ~
VERSE: 1 ~ " This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. " VERSE: 2 ~ " For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, un-holy. " VERSE: 3 ~ without natural affections, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, " VERSE: 4 ~ " Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; "

AND THAT

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

~ WHAT GOD SAW ~
IN OLD TESTAMENT TIMES !

~ ISAIAH CHAPTER ONE ~
VERSE: 18 ~ " Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be like wool. " VERSE: 19 ~ " If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: " VERSE: 20 ~ " But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. " VERSE: 21 ~ " How is the faithful city become an harlot ! it is full of judgement; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. "

Joshua...... Crossing Over !

" A VICE GIRL SAVED ! "

If they'd had newspapers in Joshua's day, this story would have made the Jerico Daily Press headlines, for sure,
STOPPED BY GOD'S LAW,
" PROSTITUTE COMES TO THE LORD ! "

In Chapter 2, of the Book of Joshua, we read that Joshua sent out two spies to look over the land, before he attacked. The spies came to the great city of Jericho, which was next on Joshua's hit-list. They stayed at the house of a woman called Rahab, who happened to be a prostitute.

Rahab knew that her city was doomed and that the Israelites would destroy it, so she was determined to put her trust in the LORD. She hid the spies from the King's men and made them promise, before the LORD, to spare her life and the lives of her family, when Israel's armies attacked Jericho.

The spies agreed, on the condition that she tied a scarlet cord in her window and made all her relatives stay inside the house when the fighting began. After she let the spies escape through her window, Rahab tied the scarlet cord there. She depended on the scarlet cord and on the word of the spies! When the terrible destruction of Jericho took place, Rahab and her family were the only ones SAVED, out of the whole city !

This story teaches us a lot about, HOW TO BE SAVED. Like Rahab

We live in a world that is doomed and that the Lord will destroy, because of man's sin. There is only ONE WAY we can be SAVED. We need to depend upon the scarlet cord, which for us is the BLOOD of the Lord Jesus, which He shed for our sins upon the cross !

"..... the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin. " ~ I JOHN 1:7 ~

Today more than ever before, everybody and even this gal needs Jesus and we need to depend on the Word of our Lord and Savior Jesus, when He promises......

" I tell you the truth, He who BELIEVES has everlasting life. " ~ JOHN 6:47 ~

The exciting thing is, that YOU CAN BE ETERNALLY SAVED, right now as you sit at your desk in front of the computer......

JUST PRAY THIS PRAYER, SINCERELY.....

" Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and can never go to Heaven as I am. I BELIEVE You died for my sins and shed Your blood for me on the cross. You rose from death and You are ALIVE to help me now. I take the step of TRUSTING YOU to FORGIVE me and to SAVE me. Take me into Your FAMILY right now. Amen. "

THE STORY AT BOTTOM OF THIS SONG

~ ~ ~ FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND ~ ~ ~
Words by Mary Stevenson :
This rendition is being sung by Christi Lane

One night I had a dream.
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord,
And across the sky flashed scenes of my life.
For each scene I noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand.
One belonging to me
and the other belonging to the Lord.

When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life
there was only one set of footprints.....
I also noticed that it happened
at the very lowest and saddest times of my life
This really bothered me
and I questioned the Lord about it.

One set of footprints in the sand,
Lord you promised me you'd hold my hand,
tell me why during the troubled times
that I look back and only find,
One set of foot prints in the sand

" Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you-
you would walk with me all the way.
but I noticed that during the most
troublesome times of my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why in times
when I needed you the most,
you would leave me. "

The Lord replied,
" My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during the times of your trials and sufferings.
When you saw only one set of footprints-
It was then that I carried you. "

One set of Foot Prints in the sand,
Oh Yes at last I understand,
through every storm He carried me,
Now I praise the Lord each time I see,
One set of foot prints in the Sand.
One set of foot prints in the Sand.

AS SHE WROTE IT

One night I dreamed I was walking long the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints. Other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that During the low periods of my life when I was Suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, So I said to the Lord, " You promised me, Lord, that if I followed You, You would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods Of my life there have only been One set of prints in the sand. Why, When I have needed You most, You have not been there for me ? "
The Lord replied, " The times when you have seen only one set of footprints  Is when I carried you. "

~ ~ ~ WHO WAS MARY STEVENSON ? ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ MORE ABOUT MARY STEVENSON ~ ~ ~

Mary Stevenson was born In Chester Pennsylvania on November 8th 1922, She was from a very poor family, her mother died when she was six, leaving six children behind raised by Mary's father Andrew Stevenson, during the Great Depression of 1930's.
In 1936, while locked outside in the snow, Mary watched the neighbor's cat leaving footprints in the snow. After pleading to God for His guidance she then penned the words to " FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND " She was only fourteen years old at the time.
To earn extra money, Mary danced on street corners with her black friends. They called her " The White Cracker ! " Mary married at a young age to an abusive husband. They soon had a son. Due to lack of finances and good representation, Mary lost custody of her son when she divorced her first husband. In the late 30's & early 40's Mary got a job as a Chorus Girl at the Troc Theater In Philadelphia. She continued to hand out copies of her poem " FOOTPRINTS. " Later she moved to California and married her second husband, the love of her life, Basil Zangare. In the 60's Mary formed a group called Viet-Moms. They baked and sent cookies to our soldiers in Vietnam. In the packages, she included copies of " FOOTPRINTS. " Mary was awarded for her kindness by letters of praise, Buena Park, California's Woman of the Year and a parade was held in her honor.

HOW DID MARY'S POEM BECOME " AUTHOR UNKNOWN " ? Mary wrote Footprints during the Depression of the 30's. At that time, she did not copyright her work. She was too young, too poor and extremely naive of the U.S. copyright laws. Acting on the suggestion made by her friend Kathy Bee, in 1984 Mary applied for and received her U.S. copyright on " FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND. "
