What if this was your last year?

The sand fly is born in daylight. It dies at dark.It's life is long for a sand fly. Man lives through 70 years, but these years are all too short for a being made in God's image. The average man spends all his time learning one art,one trade, one profession. There's so much to do and little time to do it. The goal is to do something that abides- that out lives you. The Egyptian mummies are yellow, dry and crumbling at the touch of a finger. Visit the redwoods of California! They will take you back 25 centuries. The sense of brevity makes everyday precious. This knowledge of limit imposes order and management.It attacks aimlessness. The greatest tragedy is to drift! Many drift from play ground to play ground. They drift from beach to casino, trying to kill time. Will it be by bottle,a card game or changing partners? It is purpose that turns a mob into a regiment. It is thought that turns sound into a song. What mercy will the drifter find in the day of judgement? Christ talked about a full audit somewhere, sometime. He talked about the great day of awards. Men shall be seen as they are, not as they think themselves to be, not as a friend sees them, but as they really are. We must make our lives count.I have a job to do on earth. Am I doing it, and how well am I doing it? We are on a mission. Dads, moms, have you shaped the character of your son, daughter to reflect on our nation and their lives? If one were to enter your home would they detect a mood of drift? Have you truly prepared your children for the world to come, for the return of Christ? Are they adrift in the world without Christ? Every ship carries life boats and life belts. They hope they will never be used. But they are prepared. Is there any less need for such provision and protection in the family? How will a multitude of parents answer before God? They need to look back and examine their role in the drift of their family. Who knows what mercy God might grant to those who repent. This except is from the radio show, The Revival Time Pulpit, preached by, C.M.Ward, in 1974! Today everyone goes on social websites ,Face book, Twitter, and many more. They are a drift, without purpose,wondering aimlessly through life. Then there are those who just snooped on those posting some bit of gossip. Time has changed, but not people's behavior. Still in their sins and shame, never coming to the knowledge of Christ. II Timothy3:1-6! Is it any wonder America has fallen from her pedestal.
