If you are not a Christian - Why Not?

 

Is it because you are afraid of what others may say of you?

                “Whosever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s and of the holy angels.” (Luke 9:26)

 

Is it because you are not willing to give up all for Christ?

                “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:33)

 

Is it because you fear that you are too great a sinner?

                “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” (I Timothy 1:15)

 

Is it because you are afraid you will not be accepted?

                “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37)

 

Is it because you are postponing the matter without any definite reason?

                “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.  For what is your life?  It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” (James 4:14)

 

                “Boast not thyself of tomorrow: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” (Proverbs 27:1)

 

Is it because you are unwilling to confess and forsake your sins?

                “He that covereth his sin shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13)

 

                “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God for he will abundantly pardon.” (Isaiah 55:7)

 

Is it because you will not forgive those who have trespassed against you?

                “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” (Matthew 6:14)

 

Is it because of the crooked walk of professing Christians?

                “For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (II Corinthians 5:10)

 

Is it because you are thinking that you will live morally and that God ought to be satisfied with that?

                “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” (John 3:17)

 

                “Whosever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”

 

                “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved.” (Acts 16:31)

 After The Storm

 

After the Storm

 

Did you think you’d make it through?

God’s promise fulfilled in being with you

As the waters are raging and the wind a beast

The power of His hand is in control to cease

To question the work and the Workers plan

Is an answer most wait with great demand

Not knowing what happened and who’s to blame

Will be a prediction that is unexplained

To see the destruction and life that is lost

One has to wonder was it worth the cost

Can we recover? Can we maintain?

Can we rebuild what we lost, in vain?

He’s sitting there listening

He’s awaiting your plea

He’s reaching out His hand

As you fall to your knees

No reason to wonder, No reason to wait

No reason to allow your life the same fate

Just surrender your questions, consider the price

Allow your life to be given to Christ

After the breakthrough, after the calm

Remember who brought you here…

After the storm.
