Was Randy Rhoads A Believer in Jesus Christ?

The thought that I want to share about the tragic death of Randy Rhoads on the anniversary thereof is that no matter who we are or what we are or the manner of our living whether good or evil, in the end, we ALL will give an account to our Creator in that Last Day (Eccl. 11:9-10, 12:1,13-14, Matt. 7:21-23, John 3:16-17, Rev. 20:10-15). Almighty God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in this fallen world (Gen. 18:25, Rom. 3:5). Whether Randy Rhoads had a saving relationship to Jesus Christ in SPIRIT and TRUTH at the end of his life is unknown (John 4:24, 14:6, Acts 4:12, Rev. 21:27). Tragically Randy’s followers on this anniversary all will picture him to be in “heaven”, a “heaven” which is after THEIR OWN subjective fallen design and delusional reality. We personally do not know where Randy maybe but we can truly know from Almighty God's Word how to get to heaven and how to know God's Savior. My dear friend’s it is IN DEATH that our ETERNAL sobering summons to stand before our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator Almighty God to give an account for what we have done in our bodies in this fallen world is called (2 Chron. 19:7, Eccl. 3:17, 12:13-14, Heb. 9:27). We do not want to pretend with our fallen delusional reasoning that we in our own deeds are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and RIGHTEOUS to stand before our Creator. For who is there that EVER lived (virtuous or vile) that has NOT TRANSGRESSED against Almighty God's ETERNAL PERFECT RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES (John 3:36, Rom. 3:23)? My dear friend, REALITY is desperately needed in this hour and day, for we will all give an account, maybe even tonight perhaps to Almighty God (Luke 12:20, Rom. 14:12, Heb. 9:27, 1 Peter.4:5). We do not know when our hour will be at hand but we must be ready! ETERNITY is always before us (Job, 27:8, Prov. 10:2, 27:1, Luke 12:19-20, Rev. 20:11-15)!
.
Almighty God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in this fallen world. Whether Randy Rhoads had as saving relationship to Jesus Christ in spirit and truth at the end of his life is unknown.
.
Almighty God has made ETERNAL provision in His dear and precious Son Jesus Christ for the transgressions of the ENTIRE world, which includes YOU and ME (John 3:16-17, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:2, 4:10)! That is the REALITY that we as individuals most desperately need to comprehend and understand. May I my dear friend ask you this VERY sobering and pertinent question? How can YOU or I (TRANSGRESSORS of Almighty God’s PERFECT LAW) ever stand before Almighty God our Creator who is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT (RIGHTEOUS)? How can we EVER enter into His PERFECT and HOLY Heaven (Isa. 53:6, 64:6, Rom. 7:24-25, Rev. 21:27)? My dear friends, we NEVER can (Rom. 3:23). It is ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS without God's PERFECT Lamb (John 1:29, 1 Peter 3:18-19, Rev. 1:5). We are in a horrific and desperate NEED for Divine propitiation and a Savior (Rom. 7:24-25, 1 John 2:2, 4:10). My dear friends, it is when one places their absolute trust IN Jesus Christ that individuals transgressions are forgiven and removed and the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ – who died in our stead - is transferred unto us (Rom. 4:5, 5:8)! It is IN Christ where our RIGHTEOUSNESS is found alone not in anything we ever can do (Rom. 7:24-25, 10:2-4, Titus 3:5)!
.
We are in a horrific and desperate need for Divine propitiation and a Savior.
.
My dear friends as millions reflect on the anniversary of the tragedy of Randy’s death, may we look OUTSIDE of the box of this fallen and temporal world to see the ETERNAL in light of this little temporal life here on planet earth. My dear friends, it is all about ETERNITY, will YOU be ready?
.
Almighty God is absolutely just in all that He does and allows. He has allowed and used Randy’s tragic death to get people’s attention and to teach us all just how brief, frail, tragic and temporal our little existence truly is here on planet earth. The question that we must ask ourselves is will we pay FULL attention? Whether Randy in the last days of his life came to know Jesus Christ as his personal Savior no one knows, but Almighty God PERFECTLY gave him every opportunity to do so, just as He is doing for all alive on planet earth at present (John 16: 8-11, Rom. 2:4). No one will EVER die without having every opportunity to hear the SAVING Gospel of Jesus Christ. For, in the END, it is OUR own personal freewill that will make our ETERNAL decision (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 16:29-31). In the GRACE and MERCY of Almighty God, I have personally made my decision. Though I wrestled with Almighty God for years He wondrously in His ETERNAL love and kindness gave me some time to beat my drum and to exhaust all of my delusional thinking (Rom. 2:4). In the end, Almighty God showed me how desperately I needed Him and how gracious to me He truly was. I have received Jesus Christ and His ETERNAL saving solution for me - a transgressor and sinner - and I have NEVER looked back (John 1:12, 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-10)! How could any look back? You see I can absolutely identify with Randy's life, not that I ever lived on his level, but our lives were very similar. The life in that industry may be enjoyable for a season, but there is no way anyone can find fulfillment in it let alone serve Almighty God in it. Almighty God is calling OUT any who will hear His voice and have an ear to hear (Matt. 13:18-23, Mark 4:9). Do YOU have an ear to hear? That is the ETERNAL question at hand.

Whatever choice Randy made about his ETERNITY if he could tell us anything he would communicate to all that loved him how desperately crucial it is for one to have Almighty God's ETERNAL pardon and redemption found ONLY in Jesus Christ - pro or con (John 3:16-17, 36, 11:25-26, Rev. 20:11-15, 21-22:1-5). My friends, I am sure many will misunderstand this post and be enraged. They will NOT be objective and evaluated it based on the REALITIES of Almighty God’s Word, but it is my sincere desire that at least one out of the millions will consider the WONDERFUL saving grace of Almighty God. For in the end, that is what this life and brief existence on planet earth is all about! It's up... TO... YOU... to choose. What will it be?
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Almighty God's Love - His Highest and Best for You!

















Almighty God’s love vastly transcends the frail and temporal confines of finite man into the ETERNAL REGIONS of FOREVER.

God’s selfless love seeks only the highest and best towards the object of His love, it is unconditional and selfless and rooted in RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRUTH (John 3:16;  Rom. 8:28-29, 1 Cor 13:1-13).
.
The word Agape (love) in the Greek language describes the highest form of love. This love seeks only the highest and best for its object in all matters of life here in time and in eternity future. Unlike Eros love which is rooted in self and a narcissistic agenda, Agape love is rooted in the pinnacle of excellence and selfless expression towards its object. Almighty God’s love (His highest and best) for you and me is nothing less than God Himself and His perfect will for the object of His love (Rom. 8:28, 32, 35; 2 Cor. 2:15, 1 John 4:10). GOD is love. Note God’s love in action towards you and me. The Bible states:
.
"For God SO LOVED the world, that HE GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:16-17).

God GAVE His Son for us so that we should not perish but have everlasting life. How wonderful is that! All of God’s love is found in the Person of Jesus Christ for you and me. My dear friend, I do not know anything more wonderful than that!!

Almighty God’s love (His highest and best) for you and me is nothing less than Almighty God Himself and His perfect ETERNAL will for the object of His love in RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRUTH.


Do you know the agape LOVE of Almighty God that is found ONLY in His Son Jesus Christ? God so LOVED you that he sent His Son to pay the price for your transgressions against the RIGHTEOUS standards of Almighty God (Rom. 10:4; 1 Peter 3:18). Again, my dear friend, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that! The one true God and Creator of the Universe truly loves you (1 John 4:10)!
.
Today, choose to follow the One who LOVED you and gave Himself to you (Gal. 2:20). Place your trust in Him today. You will NEVER be the same – no, Never!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

The Common "American" Denominator



















Sadly it is the way of this fallen world that lawlessness will ALWAYS triumph (Rom. 1:18-32, Rev 13), if not in one great victory, then in slow creeping incremental advances. This world is subjected to Lucifer's supernatural and tyrannical spiritual beings  and deceptive powers (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12) and our humanity is subject to a fallen unregenerate nature (Rom. 3:23, 5:12-21, 7). The world is presently on course to the Day of Lawlessness that will be under Satan and his Anti Christ (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 13). Humanity is fallen and has always been susceptible to the sensual attraction of the vices, desires and transgressions which exalt themselves against the RIGHTEOUS spiritual, natural and physical absolutes for time and for ETERNITY established by our Creator (Gen. 1:31, Matt. 15:16-20, Rom. 7, Eph. 2:2-3, Gal. 5:19-21).

Every straw man of Satan is to get us to look away from the REALITY of the Cross and our ETERNAL destiny.
..
From a sound biblical position it is not hard to see our nation’s short comings and present dire estate. What is at the heart of America’s decline and the "common denominator" of the majority of the American people (conservative and liberal) is the outright REJECTION of Almighty God's saving solution (the Lord Jesus Christ) and His ETERNAL spiritual and earthly moral absolutes and principles for time.

What is at the heart of America’s decline and the "common denominator" of the majority of the American people (conservative and liberal) is the outright REJECTION of Almighty God's saving solution.

The ONLY solution for mankind's dilemma is a saving personal relationship to our Creator in SPIRIT and TRUTH through Jesus Christ the RIGHTEOUS, who is mankind's propitiation from the wrath of Almighty God (Matt. 7:21-23, 15:7-9, John 4:24, Rom. 10:2-4, Titus 1:16, John 2:2, Jude 1:10). Every distraction and straw man of Satan is to get us to look away from the REALITY of the Cross and our ETERNAL destiny (John 3:16-17, 2 Cor. 4:2-4). It is a settled Divine ETERNAL TRUTH and REALITY that Almighty God WILL in the end crush ALL ungodliness and Satan's demonic opposition to ETERNAL REALITY (Dan. 2:43-44, 7:13-14, Rev. 19:11-21, 21-22:1-5).

It is a settled Divine ETERNAL TRUTH and REALITY that Almighty God WILL in the end crush ALL ungodliness and Satan's demonic opposition to ETERNAL REALITY!

For the redeemed, we rejoice in this wondrous TRUTH! But for the wicked, it is a Divine haunting conviction that continually speaks to the godless heart that all will give account to the Lord Jesus Christ in that Day (Rev. 20:11-15). My dear friend, if you know not the Savior... repent and be ye saved! Almighty God does not desire that any should perish but ALL come to a saving relationship to His dear Son (John 3:16-17). Beloved, if you DO know the Savior... then stay focused and stay in His Word, which is LIGHT and TRUTH as you walk on your pilgrim journey. Be redeeming the time for the Savior for your labor is not in vain (Eph. 5:16-17)! The Lord is ALWAYS with you to outwork His good will for your life here in time for His GLORY and HONOR (Psalm 119:105, John 17:17, Rom. 8:28-39, Phil 4:13, 1 John 4:4, 5:4).


The Kingdom of Heaven is hand!
