Signs Signs Everywhere are Signs

One thing I hate and love during the election cycle are the yard signs. Some are plane jane, mundane campaign signs, some are witty, and others are plain tacky! Sadly one such tacky sign will make it into our yard, my husband blew 18.00 plus shipping yesterday on a campaign sign he ordered online. This is monumental, he has never ordered anything online and in the past has asked me to stop by the campaign office and pick up a sign for the yard. We won't even discuss the number of bumper stickers he ordered.

The Bible is filled with signs:

sings concerning the state of our heart
signs of the future - told to us prophetically
signs concerning Jesus' return

We Christians are walking campaign signs for Jesus. Are we loving people in public and at home? Or are we more like Crabs for Christ because we are so rude at the store or condescending to the cashiers? Are we the person who zooms into a parking place as someone else was waiting patiently to pull in? As we take the place everyone can see our fish sticker, our my boss is Jewish Carpenter sticker etc?

Let this be our sign: Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Loved your thoughts today. Too often I am reminded that I "might" have been a poor reflection of Him.

What a thoughtful, insightful post Annette. I, too, want to be a good reflection of Jesus to the world around me. I'm afraid too often I fail, but it is my desire.

Joel Rosenberg & Ezekiel 38-39

I wanted to share a little info compiled by author Joel Rosenberg concerning a few chapters from the book of Ezekiel. This has caused me to wonder since Iraq is in such a mess; if that's why it is not listed as a country which attacks Israel. Revelation 18 goes on to say: 2With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." If Iraq becomes a land of such rich excesses, could it be 1 of the only major oil producers left? (This is food for thought on my part.) In a moment, I will walk you through the prophecies step-by-step. But first, let me note that the predictions found in Ezekiel chapters 36 & 37 have already come true. These are the famous ...
