12/26/09 DON'T MISS THE BOAT

DON'T MISS THE BOAT
The Best Time to Catch the Last Ferry, leaving the island for the mainland, is Before It Leaves The Dock. Too often people Wait Until Its Too Late; Too Late to Seek the Lord or Accept the Lord or Serve God Completely or Walk in the Light or Strive in Prayer or Practice Biblical Unity or Break Ranks with the Wicked or Follow Fully or Put Off the Old Life or Abide in Christ.

SEEK THE LORD
ISAIAH 55:6

6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

ACCEPT CHRIST
2 CORINTHIANS 6:2

2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

SERVE GOD COMPLETELY
ROMANS 6:19

19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

WALK IN THE LIGHT
ROMANS 13:11-14

11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

STRIVE IN PRAYER
ROMANS 15:30

30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

PRACTICE BIBLICAL UNITY
1 CORINTHIANS 1:10

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

BREAK RANKS WITH THE WICKED
1 CORINTHIANS 5:11

11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat.

FOLLOW FULLY
PHILIPPIANS 2:12-13

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

PUT OFF THE OLD LIFE
COLOSSIANS 3:8-9

8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

ABIDE IN CHRIST
1 JOHN 2:28

28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
