For 5 people I know, this year the end has already come.

Just hoping they all knew Jesus in this life, I think most did.
One of my wifes relatives died recently. He was a fit 31 year old with a wife and child age 2. He went to bed and never woke up.

What saddens me (and only on cc for 24 hrs( is that i read post after post and we spew out bible verses to make our points but when is the last time we have gone out..witnessed to a non beliver and rejoiced in a soul that accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour in thier life? Why cant we put the same amount of passion and efforts put in the streets witnessing as we seem to do here? Are we missing the point by being distracted by legalism and pettiness online from our true calling by God? Obviously..there is a sense of urgency...we have seen on the news that biblical prophecy is reviealed today..here and now..and believe me..im not pointing fingers because i cant remember the last time i helped lead omeone to salvation..im just posting a thought that just crossed my mind...

Yes..no one knows time and day tge Lord will return but listen to the news..look around..prophecies are becoming realities..better to get your "house in order" than it being too late
of course i agree about putting our house in order and that is what i meant by sitting in the heart of God. It really is important to surrender to the will of God and become a new creation as scripture says. In that way we have a close intimate relationship with God and once He has us by the hand, He will never let us go. God is in us and we are in Him and if we accept that in our heart we truly surrender to Him. I was not trying to argue, but rather to suppliment your thoughts. Peace and Love of God.

Even though I did not have that in mind, I think you hit the nail on the head!!! It is not about something that could be tonight, tomorrow, or another 3,000 years but do we know Him right now and about bring people into the kingdom right now. Because if it is another 3,000, 300, or for some 30 years we will not be here anyway, nor those in our life.
