Will You Be Ready When Your Time Comes?

Many people believe they will always have more time, time to do the things they didn't get to today. God's word says in Matthew 25:13;

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

and while you think you have all the time in the world, have you ever given any thought to the question, if I were to die right now, would I be ready to give an account of my life to my maker?

If not, just remember these words from the Bible, Chapter 13, in the book of Mark:

And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man , no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. KJV


Everything Has Its Time

Ecclesiastes 3

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time : also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end





Finding Peace

How can I find peace? The answer is really simple, but yet so perplexing to many. We are all on this earth for a purpose, and finding that purpose can be a challenge for some, and come so easily for others. God loves each and every person and wants you to have a personal relationship with him so he can fill you with peace and give you eternal life -- forever.

The first and most important step is: Receivng Christ: How?

• Admit your sins.

• Be willing to turn from sin, and believe that Jesus
  Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave.

John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall
not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God
sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he
that believeth not is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son
of God.


• Pray, and invite Jesus Christ into your heart, and ask him
forgive your sins and become your savior.

Accepting Christ is just the beginning of a exciting and wonderful adventure with God! Get to know Him better in a number of ways:

• Follow Christ's example in baptism.
• Begin a daily personal relationship where you study the Bible
   and pray. You will begin to experience God in ways you never
   imagined.
• Join a church where you can worship God and grow in your faith.
• In your church, get involved in Sunday School and Bible study.
 




What is my Purpose in Life?

Rick Warren Answers Your Questions

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is my purpose in life?

~ Well the truth is, God created you for five purposes. You see, you were made by God and you were made for God. And until you understand that, life isn't going to make sense. When you come to this question, what is my purpose, you only have three alternatives. First is what I call the mystical approach, and that is look within. You find this in a lot of talk shows, a lot of new age books a lot of seminars. They say, "look within to discover your purpose." The only problem is that doesn't work. We've all looked within and I didn't like what I saw. It's quite confusing. In fact, if you could know the purpose of your life by looking within, we'd all know it by now. It doesn't work.

The second way you can try to discover your purpose is called the intellectual or philosophical approach. And that's where you go to a seminary class or university class and you sit there with a pipe and your latte and your coffee and you ask questions like, "Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?" I once read a book by professor John Morehead, the Head of the Department of Philosophy at Northeastern University in Illinois. And he wrote to 250 well-known intellectuals and asked them, "What is the meaning and purpose of life?" These were novelists, scientists, well-known intellectuals, and I read the book, it's now out of print, it was quite depressing because most of the people said, "I have no idea what the purpose of life is." Some of them admitted they just made up a purpose. And some of the admitted they guessed. And some of them said, "If you know the purpose, please tell me."

You see, there's a better answer to speculation and that's revelation. If I were to hold up an invention that you have never seen before, you wouldn't know its purpose. The only way you'd know its purpose was either talk to the inventor, the creator who made it or read the owner's manual. The owner's manual of life is the bible and your Creator is God. And it is only as you get to know God you will discover his five purposes for your life. I hope you'll begin that journey today.
