Preaching God

What on earth is going on back there in Warsaw? I check out articles and letters to the Times-Union editor, and it has all the ingredients of a playground fight between two kids calling each other names, with a divided crowd egging both participants on.
It appears that there are some in this paper's readership who do not believe in God. Fine! That is your own choice, and you will have to live with the consequences. To those who do believe, keep speaking the truth, but do not go out of your way to be an antagonist. That will only drive a non-believer farther away from ever wanting to learn about God, as well as the truth of His Word.
All I can say to any unbeliever is this: There are prophecies from both the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible which are coming to pass even as I write these words. To dismiss that reality is the height of both arrogance, and complete folly. It is just like a person who is warned that a tornado is approaching, and they blow it off as if it were simply a light shower. Be assured that the destruction which results will be most devastating.
We hear of wars and rumors of wars. Famines and diseases which strike nations, and how relief efforts of food, or medicines, do little to help the afflicted. We are reading, over and over, of earthquakes "in divers places" which are causing sorrows, and incredible losses of human lives; and more of these as each day passes.
As I said, one can be an "unbeliever" where God, and the gospel of Jesus Christ are concerned; but the final price to be paid will be terrible, tremendously sad, and so unnecessary. Look around as Bible prophecies are being fulfilled, and try to see the truth.
