What time is it?

By Gayle Johnson

 I'm a procrastinator. It's a character flaw (one of many). Why do today what I can put off until tomorrow?  There's always more time. Until there isn't any more time.
By not making a decision, you ARE making a decision. And it is always NO.Some things don't really matter. Like where to eat dinner. Other times it can be life or death. And one decision can cost you your eternal soul. Or should I say, one LACK of a decision. The decision to follow, or not to follow, Christ.Sunday at church I saw the reality of this for some people. One minute my friend Linda is talking about thanking God after asking Him for something. "Claiming the Victory". The next minute she was slumped over the table and we were calling 911. Now, my friend, Linda, is a strong Christian woman, and I know if she were to be called home by God at that instant, that I would see her again in heaven. Of that, there is no doubt in my mind.But it got me to thinking. What about YOU?  If your heart were to stop in the next few seconds, do you know where you would spend eternity?John 14:6 NIVDid you see that? NO ONE. Jesus is the ONLY way. I'm not being "exclusionary".
God wants all people to come to him. If I am invited to a fabulous party, but I choose not to go, are the ones throwing the party being "exclusionary" because I choose not to go?  Absolutely not! It's my choice. And, it's your choice."Today is the day of salvation" 2 Corinthians 6:2"Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed wants to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him." Hebrews 9:27-28 NIV
The choice is yours. But time is running out. Make the wise decision. Our elders would be happy to talk to you about this, as would I.
