Issues, issues, issues. Whatever happened to praising God, looking into His glorious face, singing Psalms and hymns, revelling in His love. Where has all the joy gone? SEEK THE LORD NOW WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND.
God bless.

Do you not see the words I just posted ( you showed you didn't see them)
How the rejoicing comes in the day when our name was cast out as evil, for the Son of mans sake. ( to have a reward of life in Heaven and not life on earth which is the rich mans consolation prize)
That it is woe to those who laugh now, they shall end up mourning and weeping ( we cry now as Christ was as man of sorrows..

24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
