Before the catastrophe

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation?

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.
Hebrews 2:â€…3; John 14:â€…27.

Before the catastrophe
A humorous poster warned the inhabitants living near an atomic power station of the danger they were exposed to. The picture showed a signpost with the words "In the event of an atomic alarm" pointing to a small glass case with a hammer to break the glass, and in the case was a Bible.

One thing was missing: the words "Too late!" The Bible is not a book for later life, nor a manual for survival after a catastrophe; it is the book to be read today. Its message is urgent. It is a message of love and truth, for death can come at any moment, and one must be prepared to meet God without waiting any longer. How many people are negligent and postpone making their decision until later! This "later" can be "too late".

Don't wait till you retire. Will you reach that age? And if you do, will your mind still be clear enough to settle with God the question of your soul's fate in the life beyond?

How will you stand before God? In peace, because Jesus will have given you His peace, or laden with the burden of all your sins? Today you must confess your wrongdoings and grasp His grace to receive eternal life: that is the "great salvation". It is offered to all who believe that Jesus made peace through His sacrifice at the cross. He will not only grant you the certainty of future, eternal joy, but from now He will enable you to sense a peace and joy that the world cannot give you.

Todayâ€˜s reading: 1 Kings 18:â€…17â€…-â€…29 Â· John 12:â€…9â€…-â€…19

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
