From The Preacher's Desk


Concerned About the Judgment?

In a recent poll:- 67% of Americans believe God can solve all of our problems.-
only 18% said they would devote themselves to God. -
85% said they believe a day of judgment will come upon all of us.-
Less than 10% said they were concerned with that judgment.

Why do we claim to believe in a God, yet refuse to follow Him? Could it be that we really don’t know God, and are too stubborn to try to learn about Him? The Bible clearly tells us that we must follow God’s laws and obey Him.

MATTHEW 10:32 clearly warns us, “Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge before My Father in heaven.’ But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before My Father in heaven.”Is God is a God of reward or a God of punishment? My answer is that He is a God of both. He rewards faithfulness and He punishes disobedience. No matter how well you think you know God, you do not know Him well enough.
Are you ready to know Him better this morning? Or, are you ready for the hour of your personal judgment to come? If you are not ready for your judgment to come, you had better get closer to God. You have been given a chance to do that right now. But it is your choice. Be sure that the choice you make today will give you the consequences you may or may not want tomorrow.
