In Matthew 5:13 it is written: (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205:13&version=NIV)
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
We have to pray constantly to God ask him to help us not to lose our saltiness. We need the Holy spirit living in us, so when the others see God in us, in our actions and attitudes, then they will recognize that without God there is no light to guide us out of the darkness. That is the reason why we have to ask God to keep us straight on His path.

What Happens When We Pray
Matthew 21:22 (KJV from www.biblegateway.com)
"
22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
"
Jesus says the disciples that if they have faith they can cast mountains into the sea.
Even if we do not believe that we are that powerful, we should believe that God intervene in the natural world in response to prayer. And He will intervene not because our desire to avoid suffering, but only when and if his intervention will bring the human life closer to God.

What the Bible Says about the “Day of The Lord”
Matthew 24:21-22 (KJV from www.biblegateway.com):
"
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
"
Jesus warns us in Matthew 24:21-22 that never in history of mankind has there been anything as deadly as what will come on the time of tribulation.
There are different positions on the interpretation of verse 22, some saying that this is a sign that the rapture will happen to those who wait in faith, to hide them from God’s wrath.
In Isaiah 13:11 we read (KJV from www.biblegateway.com):
"
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
"
So let’s be prepared for His return.

What the Bible Says about Prayer (2)
Most people that do not pray blame on the fact that they do not know how to pray. If you are shy and do not know how to initiate a conversation with God, The Bible teach us how to do that. Read Matthew 6:7-15 (New KJV, www.biblegateway.com):
"
7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
"
Such a simple and powerful pray! Practice this pray daily and it will be a starting point for a new life in communion with God!

What Bible Says About The End of Times
Eschatology is the part of Theology that studies the final events on the world. Christian's eschatology or apocalypticism view the end of time as the consummation of perfection on God's creation of the world. The prophecies of the end of times is addressed in the Bible at the Old Testament's Book of Daniel and New Testament's Book of Revelation.
Some philosophers think that an accelerating rate of scientific progress could cause a technological singularity that could dramatically change the course of human history.
The Bible at Matthew 24:6-7 says(King James Version from www.biblegateway.com):
"6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
So, trying to guess about the end of times is a topic that always fascinates human race. But the Bible is crystal clear when it says in Matthew 24:36 (KJV from www.biblegateway.com)
"36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
As you can notice, it is not written "... but my Father and the Mayans only."...
