Those who are making much of their money selling things that are basically slow acting poisons, won't like this message, but this is the message God told me to proclaim. Read it and you'll see why !
Who are the agents of death? They are those who use, and perhaps sell, tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, and recreational drugs. Speaking out, against these agents, is always sure to bring out a chorus of protests. The ultimate agent of death, is of course, Satan.
Read John 10:10.I have, more than once, witnessed the way in which the selfish use of these materials has broken up families, caused sickness, and the loss of driving licenses, and resulted in premature death. When you allow yourself to be taken in by these agents of death, you are putting your own desires ahead of your loved ones, and your own body. That is just plain evil, and no matter how many times you have taken part in religious ceremonies, you will receive judgment from God. And, it won't be fun !
As a lifelong chemist, I can tell you on some authority, that these things are just plain poison. Even in moderate quantities, they can be devastating to people and their families. Even in small amounts,- these things are toxic, and often lead to physical problems. Taking a little drink, or taking just a puff or two, is the equivalent of taking a little poison into your body. If you are skeptical, do some reading in the Sax Handbook of Dangerous Chemicals.
Let me tell you about Jim. Jim was a contractor, who owned many expensive, heavy equipment items. He had been engaged to be married. He was a successful, prosperous, and respected businessman. I first encountered Jim, when he called me at about 2:00 AM one morning. He had seen an ad for a church that I was pastoring at the time. In desperation, he called me for help. He would not give me his last name, his address, or his phone number. You see, part of him wanted help, but the other part was a slave to the agents of death.
I attempted to counsel him for about an hour. He shared with me that he was hopelessly addicted to alcoholic beverages. He was no longer eating. He was only drinking. He had lost his business and all his expensive equipment. He had lost his fiancee, who had left him. He had lost his home, and was now living with his parents.
I prayed for him, and eventually put him in touch with a person, that I knew was a recovered alcoholic, who in turn, got him in touch with a trained AA counselor. In spite of all of these efforts, I learned from a friend, about 2 weeks later, that Jim had taken his own life.
The ultimate end of an addict, is often a premature death, and a grieving family. If that is where you are heading, stop now. Stop buying this poison, get rid of what you have, and stop deceiving yourself into thinking that it is ok to use just a little poison.
Our Sunday AM services are being held at the Mexico Beach Civic Center. In accordance with federal laws, we have permission to use this heated, and air conditioned, facility on Sunday mornings at 10:00AM central time. We begin with a short time of greeting and fellowship, and then TJ leads us in worship. After the service we have holy communion, a time when people can request prayer, especially for healing, and sometimes, a pot luck luncheon.
The Mexico Beach Civic Center is located at 105 N. 31st Street. It is the white building with the dark green roof, which is just behind that new Mexico Beach restaurant, Mango Marley's. It is behind Parker Realty, and is on the northeast side of Rte 98. It is about 7/10 mile south of the Mexico Beach Welcome Center.
