Seize the Day!

Carpe diem! Why do you want to wait to spread the word of the Lord? You're too busy? Too shy? Not knowledgeable enough? Stop making excuses for yourself! You have the best news you could ever hope to share with someone - why aren't you sharing it? I once heard Mark Cahill speak at my church and he said we all have 'tickets' to heaven in our pockets. Free tickets that we can just give away to people right at our fingertips. Why wouldn't you want to give them away if you've already got one? Mark said he hopes that his last act in life would be to witness to the nurse or doctor or EMT before he dies so that he doesn't get to those pearly gates with a bunch of tickets for those who are cast away for an eternity in hell. Some say they are scared of losing their friendships or relationships with people. I tell you what, I would rather spend a lifetime apart as opposed to an eternity from these people. If you mess up, who cares? The only person to judge you is God, and if you are trying to spread His word He will love you for it! It's what we're meant to do. This life is for pleasing God, not people. I have been yelled at, cast aside, poked fun at, the punch line of jokes, and even lost friendships by sharing the word of God. And a person who spent a lifetime trying to please people is telling you, "I DON'T CARE!" Friends who are too stubborn to accept what is right in front of them are not friends I want. I glorify God by my works, and there is no greater pleasure in the world than that. You say you don't have time? Make time! You should always have time for God in your life. And since you are not guaranteed that you will finish reading this post because you may drop dead before getting to the end, what are you waiting for?! I ask again, what are you waiting for? A sign? A miracle? The heavens to part and for God Himself to appear before you and say, "go"? Stop! You have the Holy Spirit within you. That is your sign; that is your miracle; that is God saying, "go!" So please - GO! Seize the day because you don't know how many you have left. There is only one thing absolutely, positively guaranteed in this world - everyone will die. Even Jesus died. Look at a clock and start snapping your fingers every second. Keep snapping. Now think about this: every time you snap your fingers, somewhere in the world two people die. Are these people going to heaven or hell? They are out of time! Many have never been approached about the word of God. Do you want these people, some of whom are those you see everyday, to die and spend an eternity in hell? I don't! I don't care the cost to myself - because I know where I am going when I die. But now I am calling you to arms to fight with me against the strong hold Satan has on this world! Carpe diem! Seize the day - seize every day and cherish it. Some don't have another.
God Bless!
