Why Not Now?  There Is A Time Limit! “Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.” (Isaiah 55:6).  This Life Is Uncertain! “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” (James 4:13-14).

Why Not Now?  When the door is shut, it will not be re-opened! “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’” (Luke 13:24-27).

After Death What comfort will be found in the praise of men? What pleasure will be found in the sins that we could not find the convenient time to give up while here on Earth? What will our money buy? What profit will there be in man-made religion? Here Lies…

Optional CatholicismBaptized = Saved & Believe Later CalvinismBelief = Saved & Baptized Later ChristBelief & Baptism = Salvation “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” (Jesus in Mark 16:16). Who Will You Believe?

Christ or Teachings of Men? “You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.” (Jas 2:24).

Why Wait? Don’t Believe God? Testing God? Mocking God? Don’t Understand God? Indifferent?
