it is coming. When our Lord
was here, He said: "No One
Knows the Time, except my
Father." There it is. So, what
do I do about it? Do I throw
all caution to the wind? Do I
just give up and forget about
Christ and Faithfulness to
Him? Well, some folks
have. The devil uses every
device he can to destroy our
faith. He will use our doubts
and fears; our hurts and
disappointments; our lack of
faith; and, most of all, our
Will Power!
We need to determine that no
matter what happens we will
keep the faith. We will be
faithful all our days, so we
can hear Him say: "Well
Done Good And Faithful
Servant."
Honestly, I have seen many
years come and go. I have
also wondered about the
promise of the Lord, but what
I need to do is to prepare
myself, and all others whom
I can reach, to live the
righteous life, so I can be in
heaven with all the redeemed
of all ages.
That should be our desire.
Keep the faith. Be a servant
of the Lord. Live life as
though this was your last year
on earth. Be faithful unto
death, and thank God that we
can serve Him while here.
FEW DAYS LEFT From the Desk of Dan Carter
It is hard to believe that the
year 2017, is about to end.
Only a few more days.
Often, you have heard me say
that God's time table is not on
our schedule. What we desire,
we want it now. God does
not operate on our time. He
is eternity. That is completely
different from what we are
used to. We need to remember
what Simon Peter said in the
end of Second Peter. He
declares that "One day is with
the Lord, a thousand years,
and a thousand years is as one
day". See? It is so hard for us
to understand this. Like
Simon said: "Some are saying
'nothing is going to happen'
for all things continue as they
have always been. My grandpa
died, my daddy died, and still,
the Lord has not come!" Fact
of the matter is: God does not
work on our schedule!
For us, we are one year nearer
the grave. We see time
passing by. We get anxious.
We want to see the Lord's
return. Sure enough, Peter
says, It Will Happen, but only
on God's terms, not ours.
So, this year has almost ended.
People run to and fro. We
continue to lose loved ones.
Our kids grow older and our
hair turns gray. What next?
The point is: We Need To Be
Prepared. No One knows
when the end will come; but,
