Important Question: Will you come to Jesus today?
As we studied the last book of Revelation last night at church, our pastor read the verse..."Come"....Jesus says "Come". He said that we should be asking people just one simple question... "Will you come to Jesus today?'
I got to thinking about that and decided...how easy. Add it to your Facebook entry once a week. Add it to your taped voice mail recording. Hey..and what about asking every salesperson who calls you on the phone at your home...interrupt them and ask "Will you come to Jesus today."
Some of you gals in Knoxville want to begin a study of the book of Revelation. I am not an expert on Revelation, but will dig in and prepare as best I can. I want to do things a bit differently....
Lets start at the end....and get to where it really pertains to us, Chapters 18-21...then we can go back and study the first chapters. Many of us believe that Jesus is due to return at any time. Lets study first what pertains to us after we are raptured; The Judgment, the Mellinnium and Heaven for eternity. After we study that, if we are still here, we can go back and study what will NOT happen to us..the tribulation.
So.....coming soon....A study of the book of Revelation. I will use Dr. David Jeremiah, and Dr. John McArthur as my primary resources, along with Jack VanImpe and John Hagee....any others you might suggest? I am preparing now, but we will not meet and discuss until mid October.
Our first question might be....why study this at all? If we believe that the rapture is pending and we will be going home very soon...why bother??
8/30 on Jimmy De Youngs web site...why study prophecy?...
If you want to be a better witness, (1 Peter 1:5), learn Bible prophecy.
If you want to be pure, (1 John 3:3), learn Bible prophecy.
If you want to learn more about Jesus, (Revelation 19:10), learn Bible prophecy.
If you want to be blessed, (Revelation 1:3), learn Bible prophecy.
Random Thoughts about "Last Days"
I was standing in a long line at WalMart today, people around me were complaining of the busy morning and so few cash registers opened. Someone up front must have complained that a few more aisles needed to be open because the cashier at the ‘end’ of my line said in a loud voice say…”Everyone ain’t got here yet!”
Hearing her say that so loudly sort of startled me. Those words began to go round-and-round in my brain for some reason. Was it just the bad grammar? Was it just the forcefulness of her attitude? Or was it the words themselves telling me a message?
Everyone ain’t got here yet! Now the grammar is not the best(!), but could I imagine God saying those words…and why would He say them? I began to think.
So many of us are speaking of these days possibly being the ‘end times.’ We speak of the rapture. One of my favorite sayings (which most of my friends reading this will know as they read this) is.. “Come back Jesus and get us out of this mess!!”
Scripture says no one knows the exact day or time Jesus will return. Scripture says many scoff at the idea of His returning. I am one of those who know that Jesus is coming back…and I hope He is coming back very soon. But why not right now Lord? When will it be time? Isn’t the world in a mess as never before - and it is time to come and get Your children?
Everyone ain’t got here yet Jeanne!
God knows the exact moment in time of the return of our Lord and Savior. Perhaps He is just waiting for that ‘last one’ to die a natural death before the rapture.
Now when I get anxious to ‘go home’ and ask “When are You coming back for us Lord,” I will remember the words of that cashier at Walmart today. Maybe the answer is:
“Everyone ain’t got here yet Jeanne!
