Come Out Of Darkness And Be Ready

September 30

"Do not be deceived:
evil company corrupts good habits.
Awake to righteousness, and do not sin;
for some do not have the knowledge of God.
I speak this to your shame."
1 Corinthians 15:33-34

If you hang with the wrong crowd, you will be like them. Truly, evil company CORRUPTS good habits.

Don't think you can stay in the wrong crowd and not become like them, that won't work. Don't make an excuse saying you'll bring them to the Lord - that's just an excuse allowing you to run with them. Don't overestimate your strength, don't deceive yourself because you want to be with them. Why would you WANT to stay with people who will bring sin's influence upon you?

No, awake to righteousness and stay away from people, places, and things that influence you to sin. Change your social circle and mingle with people who know and love the Lord. Come out of darkness and live in the light. Seek God to find out what his purpose is for your life. You may be surprised.

All the signs of the coming Great Tribulation are here now and are glaringly obvious. Do not let the "Day of the Lord" come upon you unexpectedly.

"For when they say, 'peace and safety'
then SUDDEN destruction comes upon them,
as labor pains upon a pregnant woman,
AND THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness,
so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
You are all sons of light and sons of the day.
We are not of the night nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as others do,
BUT LET US WATCH AND BE SOBER."
1 Thessalonians 5:3-6

Sin will always take you farther than you intended to go. The time is short. To continue in sin ....it's just not worth it.
