Summary: This Easter Message may be somewhat non-traditional, but it is one that I myself, being a survivor of the recent B.P.Texas City Plant’s explosion tragedy, will never forget. I hope this message is an encouragement to all, as it is for me.
AT THE THRESHOLD OF HEAVEN; ON THE EDGE OF HELL!
(PERSONAL TESTIMONY: I was in our little office trailer with a co-worker retrieving information on our next job assignment when the first explosion hit.
My co-worker I an looked at each other in amazement at the blast...and jumped for the door to get out...My co-worker exited as the second, more powerful blast, occurred. I, and everything in the trailer was thrown about violently as I tried to get out, and something hit my left leg and threw me down to the floor on my knees! My back and neck were jolted so tramatically that I still feel the effects of the force of the blast! I tried to get up from the floor, but my left leg gave way, and I began to think...whatever hit this trailer isn’t stopping, it has hit again, and I am going to die being crushed in this trailer!...But my friends, I called out to the Lord, and said, Lord, if it is my time to go, then take me on home to be with you!...but I reached up for the door and pulled myself up and almost fell out of the trailer! I couldn’t run, and I couldn’t walk, but I began to hobble as fast as I could to the safest place I could get to, and as I looked over my left shoulder, I saw as it were, hell itself rising up in the flames which seemed to be a couple hundred feet in to the air! I WAS ON THE EDGE OF HELL!!!!
But thank God, He sent the north winds and kept the flames from me as I made my escape! GLORY TO OUR GOD!,
for you see, I was closer to the fire than several that died that day!....and I too mourn the loss with the families of those that lost their loved ones in this tragedy....but at the same time I THANK GOD I AM STILL ALIVE! "AT THE THRESHOLD OF HEAVEN" and about to enter in...but "ON THE EDGE OF HELL!").
Are YOU:"AT THE THRESHOLD HEAVEN; ON THE EDGE OF HELL?"...Are you ready to meet the Lord today?....
