Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Jesus' Death a must read.. Thanks Tom and Carolyn Lynch!

Jesus' Death - 60 seconds to understand





60 seconds with God...







For the next 60 seconds,



set aside whatever you're doing and



take this opportunity!



Let's see if Satan can stop this.









THE

(SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS









At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.











At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion, Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.











Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.









The nails were driven into His wrist.



Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed.



There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder.



The Roman guards knew that when the nails



were being hammered into the wrist,



that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus



to use His back muscles to support himself



so that He could breathe.







Both of His feet were nailed together.



Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail



that impaled His feet to the cross.



Jesus could not support himself with His legs



because of the pain, so He was forced to alternate



between arching His back then using his legs



just to continue to breathe.



Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage.





Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours.



Yes, over 3 hours!



Can you imagine this kind of suffering?



A few minutes before He died,

Jesus stopped bleeding.



He was simply pouring water from his wounds.







>From common images, we see wounds to His hands



and feet and even the spear wound to His side...



But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body.



A hammer driving large nails through the wrist,



the feet overlapped and an even large nail



hammered through the arches,



then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear.



But before the nails and the spear,



Jesus was whipped and beaten.



The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body.



The beating so horrific that His face was torn



and his beard ripped from His face.



The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp.



Most men would not have survived this torture.







He had no more blood to bleed out,



only water poured from His wounds.



The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters

(just less than a gallon) of blood.







Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood;



He had three nails hammered into His members;



a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond that,



a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His chest.











All these without mentioning the humiliation



He passed after carrying His own cross for almost 2 kilometers,



while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones



(the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part,



where His hands were nailed).







Jesus had to endure this experience,



so that you can have free access to God.







So that your sins could be "washed" away.



All of them, with no exception!

Don't ignore this situation.





JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!





For you, who now read this e-mail.



Do not believe that He only died for others



(those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).







He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes



and false witness statements by e-mail,



but when it comes to God,



sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others



because you are worried of what



they may think about you.







Accept the reality, the truth that



JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.





God has plans for you, show all your friends what



He experienced to save you.



Now think about this!



May God bless your life!





60 seconds with God...





For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing



and take this opportunity!



Let's see if Satan can stop this.







All you have to do is:







1. Simply pray for the person who sent



this message to you:







2. Then, send this message to others.







3. Others will pray for you and you will make



that many people pray to God for other people.









4. Take a moment to appreciate the power of God



in your life, for doing what pleases Him.







If you are not ashamed to do this, please,



follow Jesus' instructions. He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33):



"Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others,



I also will acknowledge before My Father in heaven;



but whosoever denies Me before others,



I also will deny before My Father in heaven."







If you believe, send this message...



But send it only if you believe in



Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.







Yes, I love God.



He is my source of life and my Savior.



He keeps me alive day and night.







Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him



"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."



Philippians 4:13.







This is the simple proof.



If you love God and you are a believer



and trust in salvation through Jesus Christ,



send this to all those you love.
