“The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise to return, as some people may think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so he is giving more time for everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and everything in them will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be exposed to judgment. Since everything around us it going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you should be living!” 2 Peter 3:9-11
It’s time for us who claim to be children of God to start living like true children of God.
It's time we start denying ourselves, shouldering our cross and following Christ, no matter the cost.
It's time we start taking a stand against homosexuality
It's time we start acting on the word of God.
It's time we start speaking out for Jesus.
It's time we get prepared to suffer.
It's time to realize that there is only ONE God?
It's time to stop fighting over man-made laws, thus dividing churches, and start standing on the only law that matters.
It's time for us to start selling out for the Lord?
It's time to sound the alarm, wake up and start stepping out in faith, confidence, boldness, love, and with our eyes fixed on the Cross.
“You should look forward to that day and hurry it along-the day when God will set the heavens on fire and the elements will melt away in the flames. But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world where everyone is right with God. And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to live a pure and blameless life. And be at peace with God. And remember, the Lord is waiting so that people have time to be saved.” 2 Peter 3:12-15
Now do you see why it is time to wake up, and fix our eyes on what awaits us? I am so excited, and I want you and me to be prepared, ready and waiting for the day our Father comes to get us.
Prayer: Lord thank You for all my brothers and sisters around the world who are sharing Your word, running to save the lost, encouraging the drifters, and who clothing themselves in the armor of Christ. Thank You Lord, may we each do our part right where we are. Amen
