Today, another large yacht got hit by a rogue very high wave 200 miles off California, Injuries and another rescue. Pretty risky traveling, and entertainment these days. These rogue waves can cover over a whole cruise almost instantly they say. What a time to pick a cruise in the middle of bad season of storms with earthquakes happening most of the time now.
Some people only think gloom and doom all the time they can find nothing good or safe in anything but instead are always stressing the vengeance and terribleness of God and the times we live. It is no wonder that many are driven away from Christianity and that is because of the great paradox that is evident in the supposed members of the church. They see no reason to live a life full of gloom and doom and still perish in the lake of fire. Now people would be more convinced of the virtue in joining the church if only there were more actually living healthy lives and happy God blessed lives. Alas, there is nothing left but a group of bitter old men and women waiting not only for the worlds destruction but their on demise too. Everyday they conscentrate on the bad and wish bad on the suppose sinners while all the time secretly wishing they too could take a cruise, only to be afraid the boat would capsize and they would be lost now instead of leaving bitter old men and women hopping that because they have suffered God will save them.
I was taught by experience that life is not carefree and happy go lucky, so much that you have no concern whatsoever for anyone but yourself. I do not enter into entertainment for thrills, chills, or death defying opportunities that presume God will protect me from wasted thrilling moments. If there is just yourself to serve, and carefree lifestyle then go for it as you have much to waste.
I also took the example of Jesus presenting how he lived on this earth and how he came so humble (died with blood running out everywhere so I could live) and taught consequences with no perception of folly, presumption, selfishness, careless, very conservative with every dime of money how it is spent or wasted on self unnecessary vanity and entertainment, My care of people is probably overly and feel very guilty to be extravagant. My husband and I always shared everything with anyone that was in need that came within our reach. We have concentrated on people and how we could help best. We have paid others bills, gave cars provided places to stay and were given happiness in return, No we would not have enjoyed for a minute a cruise. We were farm and business people and not accustomed to play. Just look at the children that are displayed on TV in missionary SDA fields being skin and bones and then ask yourself how you can do it. My whole family are givers and folks before me. Just my way of life. and I definitely can detect yours. 3 abn has led in extravaganza and their perception of it is greatly lacking to where they have to find new uses for their money in entertaining there selves. They do it at great peril presuming the pew money approves of it. and of course I look at things in a great difference then you. lol. just set back and enjoy the forced "share the wealth society"........and have a very carefree life. I know where the joy is at and what causes sadness from corruption. Jesus is in constant great sorrow for the loss of every soul until that day.. and many have not a thought of it while others work. and that is the kind of husband i had. Did you ever read the life of EGW and her husband? They sacrificed much and her cruise was clearly out of extreme necessity. She loved the Lord and did all she could do. You are a great presumer of life.
