Dear Friend, There are many people in this world that don't give their hearts to the Lord because they think they have time to get right with God after all the worldly examples of 'fun' have been had. That is a lie that comes straight from the pits of hell and has been falsely believed by multitudes. The Bible tells us that today is the day of salvation and no man should think that tomorrow is promised to him. We are also warned that our life however long it may seem is like a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. We are to think consciously and not play games with our eternal soul. We know deep in our hearts that we are sinners and in need of God's forgiveness. The good news is the Bible says when we come to God and ask Him to forgive us of our sins; He washes them away and cleanses us from all our unrighteousness. What a merciful God we have who is willing to forgive us completely and receive us unto Himself without question or hesitation. (2 Corinthians 6:1-2) (James 4:13-16) (1 John 1:5-10) I hope you are challenged by today's message to see that today is the day to get right with God if you have strayed away from Him. He is the father who loves you and has promised to not cast you aside. YOUR LIFE'S PATH "Thanks for inviting me to go to church with you next Sunday, Uncle Al." Tim and his uncle were on their way to Bonny Lake. They had heard the fishing there was great. "I...I don't want to hurt your feelings," continued Tim, "but...well...I'm not sure I want to get into this religious stuff. Besides, Mom and Dad don't think it's a good idea." "Oh?" asked Uncle Al in surprise. "I thought you said that your parents wouldn't mind if you went with me. You sounded quite interested last week. You even said the Gospel was beginning to make sense to you." "Yeah, but since then I've done a lot of thinking," Tim said slowly. "I don't think I feel like getting 'saved' right now. The crowd I hang around with at school wouldn't understand, and I like being with them. Someday I'll start going to church, but I think I'll just go on the way I am for a while. I know I'm not perfect, but I'm not so bad, either." Tim's uncle drove on silently for a few minutes. "Oh, no!" he exclaimed as they passed a road sign. "I was so intent on our conversation that I missed the turnoff! We should have gotten off this road five miles back!" "Guess we'll have to turn around and go back now, huh?" asked Tim. But Uncle Al shook his head. "I don't feel like turning around right now," he said. "I guess we'll just keep going this way. I kind of like this road, and the scenery is nice." Tim looked at his uncle in amazement. "But we have to turn around to get to Bonny Lake," he protested, "and the longer we keep going this way, the longer it will take to get back. If we wait too long to turn around, we might not even get there in time to fish." Uncle Al smiled at Tim as he slowed down for the next turn. "You're right," he said, "and what you said just now is exactly what I've been trying to tell you about spiritual life...that when you're traveling down the wrong road, the sooner you turn around, the better. If you wait too long, you might never get to your goal: Heaven." Author Unknown Be encouraged to call upon the Lord and share with Him all that is on your heart. If you have never committed your life to Christ, there is no better time than right now. Simply confess your sins and repent of them and acknowledge that Christ died on the cross for your redemption and receive Him as your Lord and Savior. The Bible declares in 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." He is able to erase your past and secure your future. Don't wait for tomorrow to accept Christ as Lord and Savior because it may never come. Today is the day of Salvation. Read and meditate on these scriptures: 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Romans 10:9-11 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." Psalm 103:2-5 "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's." All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible. Today's Selected Poem: START OVER...
