Are you prepared to meet the Lord?

Are you living your life today in a way you would wish you had lived, if tomorrow you were to find yourself dying?

Is there any sin you are practicing, which you should immediately forsake if you knew this day was your last?

Where is the man who can sincerely say that this day may not be his last?

With some people this day is the last day; with many more this week is the last week; with thousands this is the last month; with millions the last year.

Are you prepared to meet the Lord? If not, why don't you prepare immediately?

There is a fountain opened to cleanse all sin, in which everyone may immediately wash. Yet how many have never washed in it! If Christ were to come now, He would find them still in their sins.

Do not say, “He will not come yet.” Remember, it is very dangerous to even think, “My master won't be back for a while.” (See Luke 12:45-46.)

It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Psalms 110:1 NKJV The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ——————— Part of this prophecy has already been fulfilled. Christ is now sitting at the right hand of God; but He has not yet come to put His enemies under His feet. They who once rejected Him, O with what dismay shall they behold the Son of God when He appears in His glory! “See, He is coming in the clouds and every eye shall see Him, even those who pierced Him, and his coming will mean bitter sorrow to every tribe upon the earth. So let it be!” ( Revelation 1:7 ) Bitter sorrow to everyone who rejected Him! It was not only the Jews who said, “We do not want this man to reign over us;” it was not only the Romans who pierced Him with a spear; there are many in Christian lands who have crucified Him all over again and have trampled Him underfoot. ( Hebrews 6:6 ; 10:29 ) All who do not love Him are His enemies, and shall be put under His feet. It is a dreadful thing to fall into th...

The importance of investigating diligently

Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? Has the Scripture not said that the Christ comes from the seed of David, out of the town of Bethlehem where David was?” ( John 7:41-42 ) ——————— It was prophesied in the Scriptures that the Christ should be born in Bethlehem, of the royal line of David. These Jews, therefore, thought that Jesus could not be the Christ, thinking that He was born in Galilee (He was only brought up there) and they did not know that He was of David's family. But had they investigated diligently, they would have found that the reports about Him were false, and that He really had been born in Bethlehem, and was a descendant of David. They were much to blame for such remissness. Oh, how many are now in error, because of their own negligence! They credulously believe the rumors they hear against Christ's ministers; they readily believe the objections that unbelievers make against the Bible; and they never inquire in...

A surprising thing

The Lord has designed us in such a way that we need continual supplies of food to preserve our existence. Why? Surely, it must be to teach us to depend on Him. Seeing multitudes of people passing along the street, one may naturally think, “How have all these obtained their food today?” The answer is, “Through God's providence.” Some, indeed, use dishonest means to gain their living, being distrustful of this merciful providence. But if they only sought first His kingdom and righteousness, the heavenly Father would undoubtedly have fed them. Oh, the sins people are led to commit through lack of trust in God! They gamble, they steal, they lie, they forget the Lord's day, they sell liquors, and defiling books, and movies. They believe that if they wouldn't use these means, they would starve. It is no surprise that those who do not know God should not trust Him. What's surprising is, that one who knows Him should doubt His watchful care! He has promised to give a kingdom to...
