Something to Consider

Brother Chase Green, in his meeting at Beacon last week, made this remark, “I go to church, the minister preaches, and I go home. That is what Christians do now” (quote attributed to Don Wildmon). Brother Chase was trying to drive home a very good point- as Christians many have lost their focus!

Too many believe just going to church one to three times a week is all we need! Just show up, get our ticket punched, and all is well with our soul and God. What lies Satan has deluded us with! Being a Christian is our life! We are not our own, we were bought at a price (1 Corinthians 6:20,7:23). Jesus is either our Lord or His is not our Lord. “Why do you call Me Lord, Lord, and do not what I say” (Luke 6:46, NASV).

Playing at Christianity will get you killed! We are either all in or we are all out! There is no halfway. Jesus said, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon”. (Matthew 6:24 NKJV).

Where are you dear friend? Have you become a Christian by believing and obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ? Are you trying to live with one foot in the world and one foot in the church? Are you concerned for the lost in the community in which you live? Are you happy with the way you are now?

The day is coming when Jesus is going to return, and the world will come to an end. All will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account of his /her life. No one knows when that will occur. The day is also coming when our physical bodies will die. Whatever state with God our soul is in will determine where we will spend eternity. The hour of our death and the time of the coming of our Lord are both unknown to us. It could be today, tomorrow, or some future time, but it is coming! We need to be prepared so whenever our death or the Lord’s return occur, we are ready!

Where do you stand today? Are you covered by the blood of the Lamb? If not, what are YOU waiting for? Your soul stands in peril of being lost forever! Come to Jesus and obey His blest commands.

Stay true to the Word,

Brother Travis
