“Don’t get caught with your pants down.” Quotes

Christ is coming for us one way or another. He will come for us, if we die. He will come for us if we are alive at His second coming. Either way, I do not want to be unprepared when it happens. This pretty much means that whatever I have on my agenda today should match His agenda. And what is His agenda? It is always the same. It is to deepen our experience of Him in all we do and to help deepen it in others. There are no worries when the two come together.

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. Jesus Conversations Within” ts 4/5/2018

I believe!

There is little doubt that the stories surrounding the life of Christ seem beyond belief. He was born of a virgin. He went around healing people. He rose from the dead and then ascended into heaven. Is it rational to believe such? We trust our pharmacist to fill our prescriptions correctly, our doctors to prescribe them, and scores of people we do not know to research and prove them safe and effective. Trust is integral to daily life. A wise faith does not deny the use of reason, it demands it. Our trust in the miracle of Christ is in the integrity of the disciples who passed His story down to us as eyewitnesses.  I see no reason why we shouldn’t believe.

“What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you.” 1John 1 Conversations Within” ts 4/4/2018

Are we holding up the train?

If the God the Father already knows the date He has assigned for the Son to return, is there really anything we can do to hasten it. Well certainly, if the date that God has assigned is not so much a circle drawn on a calendar, as it is when the task He has assigned to His children is complete. What task? Jesus told us plainly, “Go and make disciples of all the nations.”

“looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God.” 2Pt.3.12 NJKV Conversations Within” ts 4/3/2018

”Keep standing. Keep hoping. Keep believing. I’m coming.” God

I have often wondered if Christ will return in my lifetime. My immediate thought is that there are still people who haven’t heard about Him and He said He would not return until they do. I want to do my part sharing His love. I also realize that modern technology can help achieve this in my lifetime, so the possibility of His return excites me. The idea of skipping death altogether, well, need I say more? Maranatha!

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed — in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.” 1Cor.15.51 Conversations Within” ts 4/2/2018

“One day or day one. You decide!” Quote

If some change is desired which is good, why not do it now? Why say, I will start Monday, or next month when the present moment is yours to own. Decide right now, once and for all. We may wish to stop some bad habit. Don’t wait. Be done with it. It may be letting something go. Drop it right now, and walk away. Own it and own it now.
“I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.” 2Cor.6.2 “Conversations Within” ts 3/31/2018
