Now Boarding...

This week, we have reflected on the fate of the wicked as revealed in Revelation 20. And we have encouraged our readers towards the renunciation of evil and the embracing of the will and mandate of God.

In considering the grace of God, we sometimes make the mistake of thinking we have all the time in the world. I hope that these blogs have helped to open the Scriptures so that we all realize there is a limit to grace. It is not a popular message, but is one we must reconcile in our hearts. And it is a message we must preach.

During Sunday's sermon Pastor Benji said, "Now is the time to get registered for heaven." How right he is. For those of you readers who are Christians, I encourage you to continue praying for the salvation and deliverance of those who have not submitted their hearts and lives to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

And for those of you who are hanging out with Christians but have not personally submitted your life to the Lord Jesus, don't kid yourselves. Make a decision for Christ while you have the chance. I apologize for being curt, but this is no time for sugar-coating. If no one else tells you, I am telling you: showing up in church isn't good enough- you need to submit to Jesus and give Him full access to control every area of your life. He loves you and He wants you for Himself.

If Jesus is calling you, do not keep telling Him "no" or "wait"... remember, you are not immortal- you have an expiration date. Don't take the risk of leaving this life without having given your life to Jesus.
