Summer is Here or almost here for some
Hello everyone,
I would like to congratulate everyone on tasbeha.org on finishing their school-year whether college or high-school. As for those who haven't finished yet, I wish you good luck on your remaining finals or your last few days of school. Whether you've started summer or not, I would like to say a few things. We need to remember to focus more on God in our lives these next few months. We don't have the excuse of not praying or reading the bible enough because of school-work and studying. We are absolutely free of studying and school which means we should basically double if not triple the time we read the bible and pray during the summer. Summer is also a bad thing for some of us too including myself since we spend too much time on TV and im'ing people on MSN and AIM. AIM and MSN are really not bad, but they can be because they cause us to sin by talking too much with people. We should use our time wisely. I'm not saying we shouldn't touch the computer, but we shouldn't dramatically increase the time we spend on it over the summer. Same with watching TV. Most people tell themselves that they will pray more in the summer and read the bible more but once summer comes, they find that they've barely prayed or read the bible. Some people read the bible and pray more in the School Year than they do when they are off. I hope everyone increases spiritually this summer since especially these days, the world needs Christians more than ever to keep the word of God alive on earth. The world is entering a stage of crisis and I think we all need to start praying if not fasting for things to get better such as Gas-Prices, War in Iraq and Afghanistan, Countries which stand as a threat to us, a Good Christ-Loving President for the United States who helps out our Country and the rest of the world and the poor people who are especially increasing these days and just so God has mercy on us since his wrath is definately starting to flare up. It seems that we are nearing the end of the world and I think this is the time where we need to hold hands as Christians and show the entire world who we are and Our Mighty God who desires the repentance of everyone of us. I hope this summer is peaceful and relaxing and I also hope that it's a lot of fun too. But always put God as your first priority.

He told her that he was Elisha the disciple of Elijah the prophet. He said that the saints and angels have been seeing some abnormal things around the throne of Christ (didn't specify what). He then told the nun that it seems the end of the world is nearing. Of course, time goes by much faster in heaven than on earth so a few years ago seems like a few hours ago.
Elisha???????? i really doubt it.... in fact it is almost impossible (almost because Everything is possible in God)... first of all it was Elijah who was raised up in a chariot of fire... Elishah died and was buried....
second of all: the Bible said "there will be many false prophets...
Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
Matthew 7:14-16
and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Matthew 24:10-12
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect...
Matthew 24:23-25
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1-3
and please lets not start talking about the end of the world... there is already a 14 page long tha ended up being locked.... that discution was about the end of the world....
GB,
Copt Andrew
God Bless
Please pray for me.
