10/03/23 DON'T WAIT TOO LATE TO PACK

Most of the time folks do not have a clear notification about an impending and sudden death (whether their own or someone else's death).

Even with a warning, few people are able to restore broken relationships or lives.

Sometimes one party is not interested enough to heal a broken relationship (with loved one, former friend or even with God).

Sometimes the unwilling party has not only contributed greatly to the broken relationship, they are also a contributing factor to the broken heart and broken health of the one who wants to restore the relationship.

I have said for years, "sin makes you stupid." When people stand before God and see how they neglected and rejected the treasures of God, while clinging to the pleasures of self satisfaction, it will be too late. Not only will they not be able to make things right, they won't have (and never will have) a desire to do the right thing. This is why the Lake of Fire is forever.

After living a life of self satisfaction comes an eternity of self imposed condemnation.

IT AIN'T WORTH IT.

Hebrews 9:27
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 

Revelation 20:11-15
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:7-8
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
