Based on the information that is found in the following verses, it appears that the Lamb’s Book of Life is a separate Book that is opened during the Great White Throne Judgment. The other Books which are opened appear to be Record Books which contain all of our deeds in this earthly life. No matter what one has done in this current life, in order to be found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, he must have accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, because this is the only way to blot out our sins before our Heavenly Father.

Hello, my friend. Let’s face it. We are all human. Even as Christians, sometimes we have bad days where we want to pull out our hair. Not only that, but there are times when we go through rough periods in our lives where things look rather bleak. At such times, we may feel like we are drowning in our problems. Whatever is going on, and whatever issues we are confronting, sometimes receiving a word of encouragement from another brother or sister in the Lord — which the Bible refers to as exhortation — or knowing that our brethren in the Lord are praying for us and our situation, goes a long way towards lifting us up and encouraging us. So let me say “Thank you!” to those of you who have filled this need in my personal life on occasion through your prayers and concern. Please know that you are very much appreciated!
Following are some verses about this very topic which I hope you will enjoy reading:

And be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11-14, KJV
“For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

You may already know this, but sharing my work on the social networks, or on messageboards/forums, in private chat, via email, by way of texting, or in other ways, accomplishes two positive things:
1. First of all, if you happen to be personally limited in computer resources, or if you lack sufficient knowledge and experience to set up your own online ministry, sharing my work allows you to feed and inspire other Christians — such as your family and personal friends — without having to do all of the behind-the scenes work yourself. That’s because I have already done the work for you. I have already written the articles, made the graphics, composed the poetry, compiled the KJV Bible Verse Lists, etc. All you have to do is take the initiative by clicking or tapping on the share buttons.
2. The second thing is that word of mouth and personal recommendations are a very important part of any online Christian ministry, including the Bill’s Bible Basics ministry. By clicking or tapping on the share buttons, you are helping this ministry tremendously. After all, you may be able to reach people that I will never ever meet online, or otherwise.
So if you are excited by what you find here on the BBB website, if the material feeds and inspires you, then please consider using the share buttons that you find on most BBB website pages. Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
More than 1,000 original poems and songs covering a wide range of topics — primarily Christian topics, as well as humorous poems, political poems, etc. — are waiting for you at Bill’s Bible Basics. Please click or tap on the link below:
Chemtrails and crazy Internet tales,
AC in the White House, oh that smells!
Yeti in Nepal, and Big Foot in the U.S.,
Some big monster swimming in Loch Ness.
Alien abductions, and UFOs at the poles,
So many wild stories, with so many holes.
It is easy to get lost, in such confusion,
People suck it up, just strong delusion.
Many false prophets in this world abound,
Teaching nonsense, not Biblically sound.
Forget all that crap, it is really absurd,
Turn instead, to God’s wonderful Word.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Each one a lost and stubborn soul,
Satan cackles with great delight,
As he grabs a new one from his bowl.
There will be no “Merry Christmas!”,
For these foolish people I do fear,
They refused to acknowledge Jesus,
Promoted their traditions each year.
Santa Claus was so important to them,
While Christ was left out in the snow,
To God they offered so many excuses,
But they can’t say they did not know.
You say you are a Christian Democrat,
But quite frankly, I don’t understand,
Your party supports many ungodly sins,
Such as abortion all across the land.
Of course, that is not the only thing,
Where God’s Laws you choose to defy,
You say same-sex marriage is alright,
But that also is really a devilish lie.
Then there are all of those illegals,
Let them across our border you moan,
Meanwhile, so many Americans suffer,
Because D.C. doesn’t care for its own.
Now regarding the topic of narcotics,
You say let’s legalize smoking a jay,
But God’s Word warns us to be sober,
So indulging in marijuana is not okay.
No doubt you probably will not agree,
Being a Christian Democrat is a no-go,
We should not mix light with darkness,
It is one or the other you should know.
So while you claim you are a Christian,
It is not true according to God’s Book,
So many verses outright contradict you,
I suggest you take a much closer look.
The children of darkness, are becoming more bold,
They’re making it clear, they reject God’s fold.
Singing songs to Satan, they draw in the young,
They deny the Lord, who on a Cross was hung.
They sell their souls, to get fortune and fame,
But when it comes to Jesus, they forget His Name.
Drugs sex and booze, it is all they care about,
But for their own souls, they’re not looking out.
Seeming like demons, tattooed, pierced and laced,
Living meaningless lives, what a terrible waste.
Just a hopeless dark future, is all that I see,
If they don’t turn to Jesus, they’ll never be free.
