| END OF OUR WORLD |
I've told you I read a lot. Always have, and that's why my daughters
often give me books at gift-giving time. I was reading (again) one Starlett gave me in 1996 when one of Gary Lawson's
"Pre-History of the Far Side" book was already in its 9th printing.
If you're
not familiar with him, Gary looks at everything from a different viewpoint than we...uh...normal people do, and one panel
had two fishermen out in their boat, and on the horizon, they see three atomic bomb blasts filling the sky. And one
says to the other, "I'll tell you what this means, Norm...no size restrictions and no fish limit."
And a lot of people will be just as unconcerned when the world comes to an end...until they realize what's really happening.
They'll be thinking about whether the fish will be biting this weekend, or the round of golf they have planned for Sunday,
or hoping it will be sunny and warm when they head for the lake as soon as they get off Friday afternoon.
What a rude awakening. They won't be able to say they weren't warned. Second Peter 3:10 says, "But
the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." and two
verses later, 2 Peter 3:12 says, "Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being
on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat."
And there are many,
many other warnings in the Bible of that time. And most ministers and evangelists speak of it often. The time
to prepare is now. If you haven't, I remind you that you don't have to make an appointment with anyone, or wait
until Sunday at church...you can talk with the Lord right now, as if he's sitting there beside you. Because He is...with
us always, the the Bible reminds. Talk it over with him as if He were your closest friend. Because He is, whether
you've realized it yet, or not.
Think about it.
