Serious Times

We are living in very serious times. We never know what the next minute holds for us, or that we’ll have a next minute. I ask you, if you should die in the next second, do you truly know where you will go? Years ago, that very question haunted me. I knew there was a Creator God. I only had to look at the night sky to see that, or at the birth of a baby. But after death — then what? I certainly knew I was not coming back here as a worm or anything else. Reincarnation was not for me. So what was for me?

I will never forget when I got the news my dad only had six months to live. He looked me in the eyes and said, “Judy, I need to know where I am going!” Dad had grown up going to church, but he and my mom had long gotten away from all that. Now, death at his door brought the question, “Where am I going after I die?” I remember asking him, “Dad, Where do we start?” and his response was — the Bible!

Like any book, I started reading at the beginning, Genesis, and kept on reading aloud through the entire Bible. In the process, we discovered the truth of eternal life. As we read, God’s truth pierced our hearts and we both received Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and Lord! We found the promise that not only do we have a citizenship here on earth, but also in heaven! Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let me ask you, “Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt where you will spend eternity?” I pray you do know.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Wondering

By Dr. Judy Baus • 01 Jan, 2023

Does it matter which Bible version is used? The New International Version is easier to read than the King James Version, but the Amplified Bible gives better descriptions. Thank you!

Dear Judy, I want to first say, Judy, I love the Lord! But I’m having trouble keeping out thoughts of despair as I watch the news every day. The shooting of innocent people coming out of nowhere. How to cope?

Add to not Take away!

By Dr. Judy Baus • 11 Dec, 2019

This is the first month in a New Year and I am sure we all made some declaration for this New Year which wholes new beginnings if we will allow them to be. Instead of giving up I always add something to my walk with the Lord and when I do that it seems to take care of what I should give up or change.
