Signs of the Times

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times....or so they are told.  Rhythms and rhymes, they mark the chimes of the music that express our reasons to mold.  To stand out and rise above for this is how we get our love; our blissful script of egotistical.  The surface can mock this figment of a whimsical wish as many hearts stay trapped within this deep sinful lisp.

The unforeseen now pulsates reality’s blood as it is spilled across our unexpected tragic loss.  Debris destroys what was once sturdy, unevening the lives between those alive and hurting. This puzzle that lies beneath their feet symbolizes their securities shredded unable to piece. The signs that shock and incapable to read leaves us wondering are these the times that won’t leave us be?

Reports and news flash one after another; do we choose these acts or are they sins that smother? The story was written with an end already concluded; can we save at all what’s already polluted? Young ones shot, divorce rate high, is this how our spirit shall die? Cancer engulfing, no money to buy....the simple things we need to survive. Is this the recipe for the signs of the times? Many have dreamt about, many have spoke about, many have wrote about.... sin’s final route.

Will I be a catalyst for the flipping of the switch? The spilling of negativity that will spawn Armageddon’s impulsivity? Will we cause the fight that will make us believers take flight?No answers have been given, no predictions made truths; we will only know the how, the when will come only after the “then”....

Today I witnessed the flood that submerged a town of few, “then” hail the storms that brew. Today I saw a mother and son punch, yell and fight, “then” the sky split apart to the light. Today I heard I was going to be cut with a knife, placed in the morgue out of someone’s spite. Today could be the “then” that could be life’s final written chapter due to an action done by me.

What are your signs of the times? Is it a birth or a death? Is it a hesitant pause or a still breath? How will you live your last days untold? Will you worry the days to old? Or will you cherish that which you can hold? The signs are warnings to this we know, will HE tell you when its time to go? Or will you be the one looking up left alone?

    Congratulations Pastor

    Keith Jenkins!

    Faster Pastor 2008!!

    From the Pastor's Desk....

    Dear B.S.C. Family,

    The month of June brings two words to my mind, CHANGE and CELEBRATION.  Change because school is out for Diane and our whole life changes.  Celebration because it is Diane and I's wedding month!  It is a pleasant thing when your life changes, if it means you can have more time with your loved ones.  It is also great to celebrate special days like birthdays and anniversaries!

    But there is coming a day that will be better than any of these:  I Corinthians 15: 51-53:

    "Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."

    Are you ready for that day?  If not, why not make your reservation today?

                                 Because He Lives,

                                  Pastor Keith
