Seizing the Moment

by

Are we as the Church seizing the moment before us? As I survey all the evil, mental issues, and despair in the world, I have to wonder if we are shining the light we have into such a dark and desperate place. Too many Christians are content with being in the club and see no reason to shake things up or draw attention to themselves. Christianity is not a social club, it’s a war zone.

Our Sunday gatherings should be a respite from the battlefront where we recharge and gain more tooling to fight the battles we will encounter the moment we walk out those doors. I don’t know about you, but that’s not what I see. What I see are megaplexes with circus sideshows built for entertainment of the masses. I see leaders more concerned with appearing relevant than rescuing souls from the clutches of Hell.

In the Blink of an Eye

by

Before we begin, let me state a couple of things this article is not. It is not a commentary on the Covid mRNA shot. Intelligent people can and should look at all the research and findings to make their own decision on that. You don’t need me, the media, celebrities, or the government to tell you what to think or believe about such things. It is also not in any way to express medical opinions which I am eminently not qualified to discuss.

What I do want to talk about is the alarming number of otherwise healthy people who are dying suddenly. For our discussion, the cause of their death is irrelevant. As followers of Jesus, what should concern us is how many people, in the blink of an eye, are finding themselves in eternal Hell.

Why Don’t They Know?

by

So many in the world today have never heard about the love of Jesus. When Jesus left this earth, His last command was that we go into all the world telling people about His love and salvation (Matthew 28:18-20). And yet 2,000 years later, while there are more professing Christians on the planet than at any other point in history, there are also more people than ever that do not know Jesus as their Savior. I have a great burden for those around the world who have not yet heard.

I also have great admiration for those courageous men and women who leave the safety and comfort of their current situation to go into extreme circumstances to teach the people there about Jesus. Not all of us can go to other nations. Our responsibility is no less than theirs. Because while they are going to unreached people groups, people who don’t know Christ surround us as well. Many of our friends, neighbors, and coworkers have not heard the Gospel. Since we are right in the middle of them every day, I have to ask, “Why don’t they know about Jesus?”

Time Keeps On Slipping

by

There’s an old song that says, “Time keeps on slipping into the future”. As most of the world has been sequestered in their homes for the past couple of months, I’ve noticed time seems to pass faster than ever before. Others have begun noticing it as well (see “Why time seems to be going faster while we are in lockdown”). Add this to the phenomenon of time passing by more quickly the older you get

(I don’t know if there’s evidence for this, but it’s something an older person told me when I was younger, and I have found it to be true in my life), and time keeps on slipping not just into the future, but out of my hands. The time we hold today will be gone tomorrow, never to return.

The Last Day of Your Life

by

What if today was the last day of your life? Would you be ready to die? Have you done all you wanted to do for God’s Kingdom? How would those closest to you remember how you lived concerning Jesus? All of us will face the last day of our life at some point. No one escapes a trip to the grave. Knowing this, we must live each day with an effort to finish well.

Perhaps today will be our last; perhaps it won’t. None of us know when our lives will end. We cannot live as if that day will not come because we know it will. It is only the arrogant who pretend they are immortal, and only the faithful who truly will be.
