1 Corinthians 4:1-2

Eph. 5:16 “Redeem the time, because the days are evil.” Buy up every opportunity 1 Cor. 7:29 “The TIME is short” Make the most of your time!
Rom. 13:11-12 “Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep…” Time left to you is short! Psalm 90:12 “Teach us to number our days that we may present to you a heart of wisdom.” Every day counts!
