12/31/23 CHOOSE WISELY

This is the last, first day of the week, for the present year. We are about to say, "goodbye" to 2023 and hopefully, "hello" to 2024. Better choose your course wisely.

I hope you are part of a Biblical congregation. Being a Biblical church does not mean being perfect in every area, or even being admirable in every area. Being Biblical means teaching and preaching what the Bible says and living life in line with Biblical revelation and becoming the person God intends you to be, and being a loving, serving part of that body of believers.

Sin separates from God. Either you allow your sin to separate you from God or you will trust in Christ to separate you from your sin.

Being part of the right local church is imperative. It is not easy to find Biblical churches today. It is going to be harder to find strong Biblical churches in the days ahead, and it will become much more difficult to follow Jesus than it has been.

God tells us to, Seek the Lord..., Call upon Him..., Forsake wicked way and unrighteous thoughts, Return to the Lord...

Isaiah 55:6-9
6  Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

What you do now effects your, "later."
What you do today effects your tomorrow.

The good news is, if a person realizes their need, it is not too late to turn to Christ. But remember, rejection of Christ has gotten you to where you are. Now is the time to turn, while God is speaking to you. When God stops calling you, you will not have a change to get right with God... ever.
