    This Is No Time For Sleeping

    The Christian life is a walk, it's a run, but never forget... it is a fight, and the warfare is real, and we get tired, but we cannot go to sleep. A sleeping saint is a powerless saint and is no threat to the devil.

    1 Thessalonians 5:5-9 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken ...read more

    We have a high life expectancy; we've got plenty of time. So Peter’s warning that the end is near is shocking. Peter speaks as if this truth ought to change our thoughts and actions! Peter’s living life by a different paradigm!

    LIVING LIKE THERE’S NO TOMORROW 1 Pet. 4:7-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. One day at the Church, Father O’Malley answered the phone, “Hello?” A voice said, “Is this Father O’Malley?” “Yes, it is.” “This is the IRS.

    Revival affects our relationship to God, but also to one another. Peter talks about how as our salvation affects us it should give us a love for the unlovely. Jesus goes so far as to say, by this will all men know that you are my disciples that you love one another.

    As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.
