The Time Is Now: Short Available Now

When their government oppressed God's people, the Prophet Elijah asked the timid Israelites, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him" (1 Kings 18:21). Good people cannot survive in a society (or world!) by shrinking away from the inevitable choice: good or evil. Joshua challenged his people: “choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 24:15). Paul wrote there will be “the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel” (Romans 2:16). There will be “multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!” (Joel 3:14). The “cowardly” will burn in Hell with “all liars” and sinners (Revelation 21:8). - 9/5/2021
