Lisa Robin Kelly's Viral Arrest Story Is A Warning To All Of Us!

I was online tonite reading the news and came across this little article...

(CBS) LOS ANGELES - Lisa Robin Kelly, best known for playing Eric Forman's sister in "That 70's Show," was arrested Saturday on suspicion of domestic abuse.
Kelly, 42, was taken into custody at 12:50 a.m. on Saturday by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, TMZ reported. A sheriff's department spokesman told ABCNews.com Kelly was released shortly after posting $50,000 bail, but declined to comment any further.
CBS Los Angeles reports the former sexy blonde sister's mug shot has hit the web and gone viral since her arrest. 

I don't know much about Lisa Robin Kelly but I felt a little sorry for her as I read the word "viral" in regards to her arrest being broadcast all over the world. I don't know the circumstances around her arrest but I do believe she has suffered a great embarrassment because of the internet and her fame. But something struck me about this story that has something to do with all of us. The Bible says that one day everything we have ever done, said or thought will become worldwide knowledge. Here it is...

Luke 8:17

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹⁷For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

Romans 2:16

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹⁶In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Now that is the bad news for the vast majority of humanity, their sin record is going to go "viral"! In fact the Bible tells us that there is coming a day when the majority of men will stand before God and the books containing their sinful deeds will be opened before them  (SEE Revelation 20:12). This personal appearance before the throne of God will result in "viral" exposure of sins.  Sinful man is not getting by with one sin, not one secret will remain a secret! That is bad news that makes Lisa Robin Kelly's present debacle look tame.
However, the Bible says something quite different about those individuals who have believed on Jesus Christ. Here is what the Apostle Paul has to say...

2 Corinthians 5:19

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹⁹To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

The word "imputing" is an accounting term and means to keep track. The good news is that a man, woman, boy or girl who places their trust in Christ as Savior enters into a blessed position whereby their sins are not being counted by God. The Bible says God casts their sins as far as the east is from the west and remembers them no more. Consequently, there will be no viral exposure and embarrassment on judgement day. That is a blessed thought, a glorious thought! I hope Lisa Robin Kelly will come to a faith in Jesus. The real question is what have you done with Christ?

Animal Deaths 2012 - An Endtimes Update

 Hosea 4:3 ...'Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.'

We are living in bizarre times and I have shared several times on this site that I believe we are living in what the Bible calls the "last days" or the "end of days". When you look at the rapid increase in the incidence of earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes and other natural disasters we must admit that we are in a climactic time in human history. The fulfillment of Ezekiel's Gog Magog war seems to shaping up as Iran, Syria and Russia strengthen their alliances and intensify their hatred of Israel. Soon the world will see the hand of God reveal His power and supremacy as He defends tiny Israel in miraculous fashion. The steady march toward a worldwide currency (digital rfid implants) seems certain as sovereign debt crisis in Europe threaten the global economy. But one of the more freakish signs of the times is the mass deaths of animals and fish that is occurring worldwide. If you would like to see an update on this phenomenon go to Animal Deaths 2012. There has never been a time in history when these events have occurred with this frequency and intensity. Jesus said that their would be signs that would indicate His coming is near. He also asked us to "watch" and anticipate His return. We must be prepared for His coming and the most important way that we can prepare is to trust in the shed blood of Christ at Calvary to be the sufficient payment for our sins. Have you done this? Isn't it time you believed on Christ and settled your destiny once and for all? Watch the little 3 minute video in the sidebar and trust Christ today!

What Does Easter Mean?

Hebrews 7:25

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

I John 2:1

 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

I Timothy 2:5

 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

We are now entering into what the church calls "Holy Week" and I just wanted to share a few thoughts about the significance and meaning of Easter. As I have already pointed out in my posts on this blog I believe in the physical, literal and visible resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe the Biblical accounts of hundreds of eye witnesses that saw him after his resurrection from the dead. I believe that the resurrection is the lynch pin of most other important doctrines concerning soterology and Christology. I would like to expound a little on the most important "results" of the resurrection which ultimately lead to answering the question "what does Easter mean?".

First of all, because of the truth of Easter morning we have a Savior who "ever liveth" to make intercession for believers. This is the very foundation of the great Scriptural truth that once a man, woman, boy or girl places their faith in Christ as Savior they are eternally kept safe and secure because of Christ's intercession. This intercession has been on-going for all believers since the day that Jesus walked out of that tomb. Every time that old accuser, Satan, runs to tattle on us the Lord Jesus Christ steps before the throne of the Father and intercedes on our behalf. He points out that He died on the cross and shed His blood to purchase our pardon and the matter is settled immediately. Because He ever lives and ever intercedes I am eternally secure! Those fools who deny the physical resurrection of Jesus by necessity and logic deny the intercession of Jesus and therefore are in great peril and real danger of missing heaven! Regardless of what some hyper-calvinist or wishy washy arminian tries to tell you, believers still sin. The good news is that when we sin we have an intercessor, the Righteous One, who comes to our defense. This is not a license to sin but it is a reason to rejoice. There are so many self righteous religous folks in this world that think they don't need further assistance once they have believed. They are deluded in their thinking. Jeremiah said the heart is desperately wicked and we need a Savior who can keep us "saved". Praise His name!

The second great truth about Easter is that it means that we are not only the object of His intercession but He is uniquely qualified to be our defender because He is our "advocate" according to I John 2:1. The word "advocate" means "one who pleads another's cause before a judge". The word is found only once in the entire Bible and it is a legal term. I think the best way to describe an advocate is by calling him our defense attorney. Jesus is the greatest defense attorney who ever lived and because He "ever lives" He will continue to defend us for all eternity! I might add this thought, He has never lost a case!

Finally, Easter means that we have a "mediator". The word "mediator" refers to one who intervenes on our behalf to restore peace. The Apostle Paul says there is only one mediator in all the world who can restore peace between God the Father and sinful human beings and that is Jesus Christ. 

Easter means that because Jesus lives He keeps us saved and forgiven by his intercession, advocacy and mediation. As this Easter Sunday approaches I plan to do a lot of thanksgiving for all that Christ has done for me. The good news is that He can do the same for you. Watch the little 3 minute video in the sidebar and trust Christ as Savior today and you'll discover what all the Easter excitement is about!
