God is holy, righteous and worthy of our praise. He is our Creator.

He is the Lord of all. And even though He has the power to DEMAND

our worship, He doesn't. It's His heart's desire that we come to Him,

willingly. God doesn't want an army of robots that mindlessly

follow Him. He wants REAL PEOPLE to obey Him...because they LOVE Him.

The Scriptures teach us that we're to be IN the world, but not OF the

world. You see, we're to have a Heavenly perspective. We're to set

our minds on the things of God. Everything we do, here on this

earth, should be done with the mindset of how it will affect us

ETERNALLY. Christian, keep in mind that this is not our home.

Throughout the years, we've heard many different ideas as to who

the TWO witnesses in the last days will be. Some say Moses, some

say Elijah. Others speculate that it could be Enoch. But regardless

of WHO these two will be, we know one thing is true. They will

take a stand for the truth of God's Word. And so believer, is that what you're doing TODAY?

The two witnesses in the last days, regardless of WHO they will be,

should encourage us to be great witnesses...TODAY. Christian, are

you taking a stand for the truth of the Scriptures? Are you

committed to being a living...breathing testimony of God's

goodness? You see, we're to be those who share of His salvation... NOW.

In today's message, we will be given the exhortation to not wait. If

you hear the Lord calling...respond TODAY. The Scriptures teach

us that TODAY is the day of salvation. Don't wait for your life to fall

apart. And on the flip-side, don't try to fix YOURSELF before

coming to God. He wants you...just as you are. Then HE will begin the process of change in your heart.

It's unbelievable to think how far mankind has fallen. We can look

around today and see JUST HOW LOST man really is. We've allowed

ourselves to become desensitized. We're living in a way that is NOT

pleasing to God. But HOW did this happen? Well, it's because we

have rejected the Word of God. We've ignored His commands...His righteous standard for living.

In today's message, we'll discuss persecution and martyrdom. It's something that all true believers must be aware of. Sure, in America we really don't have a CLUE as to what REAL persecution is. But we must STILL be prepared. Are you ready and willing to take a stand for the truth of God's Word? Even if it requires your life?

As believers, we know that faith comes by hearing and HEARING...

by the Word of God. So with that being said, we understand that

without the Scriptures, there can be NO FAITH. When a person SAYS

they have faith in God, but deny the truth of His Word, are they

really HEARING? This is a question we must ALL ask ourselves.

Christian, we have been given the message of hope. We have the

GOOD NEWS. But what are we to do with it? Well in today's message, we'll be encouraged to take the Gospel and share with others. You see, we have every tool made available to us for ministry. There's no reason WHY we should not be sharing the life-changing message of Jesus with others.

Look around you. What do you see? Birds? Trees? Mountains?

People? These are all God's creation. And while they may be

beautiful, amazing and even breath-taking...they're not meant to

receive our worship. As believers, we should be able to look at these

things...at the works of God's hands...and worship HIM.
