Fear Not the Storm But The Creator of the Storm

In seeing and hearing of the rage of the massive and deadly tornado that his Moore, OK, please consider this: do not fear the wind or storm, but fear Him Who created it and rules over it. Many feel helpless in light of such strength as a tornado (or any other natural disaster), but that is nothing compared to the awesome power of the holy holy holy God Who rules and reigns over all His creation. This is microscopic compared to the power of God. So fear Him and submit to Him.


Mat 10:28  "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.


In the triune God alone is salvation from all our sins, justification so we can go to Heaven, eternal life so we can live forever in humble worship of Him, comfort and peace from the One Who is the Prince of Peace....peace that is beyond circumstance, through every storm and trial in life. But His peace and comfort can only be given to those who have acknowledged their wickedness and sin before Him and have pleaded for His mercy. For those, He liberally gives grace, peace, and true unchanging love. For the rest who will not humbly come to Him, is eternal death and destruction.

Come to Him and repent of your sins and trust in the perfect Person and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to make the full payment for all the sins of many sinners in order to satisfy the just wrath of the Father, and Who rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures for their justification (declaration of the unrighteous to be righteous based on Christ).


Rom 3:9  What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin
Rom 3:10  as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
Rom 3:11  THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;
Rom 3:12  ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." 
Rom 3:13  "THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," "THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS";
Rom 3:14  "WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS";
Rom 3:15  "THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD,
Rom 3:16  DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,
Rom 3:17  AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN."
Rom 3:18  "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."




Rom 10:8  But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
Rom 10:9  that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 
Rom 10:10  for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 
Rom 10:11  For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." 
Rom 10:12  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 
Rom 10:13  for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." 


1Jn 1:8  If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us
1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 
1Jn 1:10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
