Wake Up

   Romans 13:11-14 "And do this, knowing the time, that it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts"

  This passage is more relevant now than when it was written. We are in the 11th hour. It's not going to be long until we hear the trumpet sound and we all go home. It is time that we wake up and shake off the things of this world. It's time that we get off our hindquarters and start working fervently to get the lost of this world into the family of God. First Peter 4 verses 7 and 8 say that the end of all things is at hand, so be serious and watchful in your prayers, and above all to have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins. If there is a more fitting time to love another, it's now. The devil knows that his reign on earth is almost through and he is doing his very best to bring as many people down with him as he can. Colossians 4 verse 5 says to walk in wisdom toward those who are outside and to make the most of the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, not saltiness, so that we will know how to answer one another.  The world has seen enough strife and backbiting from the so-called "Church." We need to love one another as was demonstrated by Christ Jesus. It is time to stop bickering with each other and start loving the lost. We are all on the same team, with the same objective. Let's start acting like it.
