No Hurry???
Christians all know that time is almost up. There is not much time for unbelievers to decide if they want a relationship with God through His Son Jesus. There is not much time left for unbelievers to say, "Yes to Jesus." Why do people take time for granted? They say he's not coming, they say he hasn't come in over 2,000 years so where is your Jesus now. With the way the world is going now, no one can possibly believe that God is not going to come and remove His bride and handle all this sin...But the unbelievers think that this world is going to go on and on...What gives them this idea of time not running out.
God made it very clear that time will end. In I Peter 4:7 He says, "But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." In Matthew 24:1-44 Jesus even discuss the events that signal the end of the world. With all of the signs around us and the time drawing so near, unbelievers still will not listen. It is just like the days of Noah as Jesus said in Matthew 24. What is making them think time is on their side? It's not God for He wants all to come to the knowledge of His Son. God would not mis-lead, God is not a liar. So, what or who is misleading these lost souls?????
I remember reading a book by: C.S. Lewis called "The Screwtape Letters." There is a portion of it that goes like this:

I remember reading a book by: C.S. Lewis called "The Screwtape Letters." There is a portion of it that goes like this:
There is a legend about Satan and his imps planning their strategy for attacking the world that's hearing the message of salvation. One of the demons says, "I've got the plan, master. When I get on the earth and take charge of people's thinking, I'll tell them there's no heaven."
The devil responds, "Ah, they'll never believe that. This Book of Truth is full of messaes about the hope of heaven through sins forgiven. They won't believe that. They know there's a glory yet future."
On the other side of the room another say's "I've got the plan. I'll tell'em there's no hell."
"No good, "he says, "Jesus, while He was on earth, talked more of hell than of heaven. They know in their hearts that their wrong will have to be taken care of in some way. They deserve nothing more than hell."
And one brilliant little imp in the back stood up and said, "Then I know the answer. I'll just tell them there's no hurry." And he's the one Satan chose.

That's why the unbelievers believes that time is on their side. Because satan has their minds. I pray that we all can join in prayer and lift the lost up to God for salvation. Father, prepare us and show us your children your will in helping to build the body of Christ. Then, give us the strength and the will to carry it out. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray... AMEN
