NOW IS THE TIME

 

NOW IS THE TIME!

I heard a CATHOLIC PRIEST

Say recently

For every person=COMING to

The CHURCH=six and ½ people are leaving=

I SUSPECT he was

Talking about the CATHOLIC CHURCH

But I also suspect

The trend is true

For most CHRISTIAN religions

MORE LEAVING=than coming

HOW SAD it is=when

We live in a time=

People are turning away from God

We need MORE GOD=

Not less=we need GOD

More than ever before

NOW is the time

To TURN BACK to God=

Now is the time=

When we should be

Turning back to our FAITH=

Turning back to OUR GOD

“Behold=now is

A very acceptable TIME

Behold-now is

The day of salvation” 2 Corinthians 6:2

With LENT beginning=there

Couldn't be a BETTER TIME

To turn back to God

God is trying to

Get our ATTENTION=Look at

This time of COVID=of racial injustice

Of severe political divisions

NOW IS THE TIME

To turn back to God

“TURN to me=and be saved

All you ends

Of the earth

For I am God-

And there is no other” Isaiah 45:22

“He has blinded their eyes=

And hardened their hearts

So they can neither see

With their eyes=

Nor understand=with their hearts

Nor TURN--------

And I would heal them” John 12:40

Saint Paul REMINDS us today=

That there is NO BETTER TIME

Than the present=

There is no better time

Than right now

TO TURN BACK TO GOD

A lot of us=like to PUT OFF

Making decisions=but that

Is NOT a strategy for success

The LONGER

We are AWAY form God

The harder it is

TO COME BACK

NOW IS THE TIME

To go back TO GOD

“For this is how

The promise was stated=

'At the APPOINTED TIME

I will return=and Sarah

Will have a son'” Romans 9:9

NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME

To return to the Lord

To RENEW=our commitment

To live lives of FAITH=service

Sacrifice and love

NOW IS THE TIME=

Now is the time=for our salvation

In Jesus' name
