APRIL FOOLS DAY

In the news the last couple of years there have been news reports about how many of the atheist groups want one day a year set apart for a special holiday just for them because there are so many religious holidays.

They may not realize it, but they already have one. In the United States, April 1st, is also known as April Fools Day. This is a day when children and many adults play tricks and jokes on one another. This day should also be known as National Atheist Day. Why, do you ask?


The Bible has the answer: 
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalm 14:1

The Bible could say it no clearer, the fool says there is no God. These people need our prayers and need to come to realize yes there is God and without Him there is nothing. One day they will come to know that God does exist and He is real. Either in judgement when they receive their reward, or when they are condemned to everlasting torment. Make a special effort today to reach out to someone who is unsaved and does not know God or Jesus as their Saviour.


The above as sent to me by Dr. Bradley Carey.


This Atheist Day being on April 1st is nearly a "joke" and it reminds me how Elijah mocked the Baal's priests.


1 King 18:27,28 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.  And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.


He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh (mocks): the Lord shall have them in derision. Psalm 2:4


May many find the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour before times closes in.


Minister Dr. Trudy Veerman
