Standing Before Jesus
Dr. John Barnett
Discover the Book
If you really think about life long enough you realize that all that matters is one thing--what happens when you stand before the Judge Himself, Jesus Christ.
There are two groups that meet Him--the saved and the lost. If you know the Lord, this message may be the most important you will ever hear!
Please open to 1st Peter 3:10-11 as we learn what God says really matters in life. Listen to the voice of that wizened old fisherman, with a glowing heart of hope and joy--named Peter. He is speaking to us by the power of God's Spirit.
2 Peter 3:10-11 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
In the not too distant future, God is going to invade His world. Last time He did it disguised as a baby, and He died a sacrificial death for the sin of the world. This time He is not going to hide.

"When that happens, it is the end of the world. When the author walks onto the stage the play is over.
God is going to invade, all right, but what is the good of saying you're on His side then, when you see the whole natural universe melting away like a dream and something else--something it never entered your head to conceive--comes crashing in; something so beautiful to us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left?
For this time it will be God without disguise; something so overwhelming that it will strike either irresistible love, or irresistible horror into every creature. It will be too late then to choose your side.

Our marriages, our families, our churches, our nation - in every arena of life and society and religion we need the omnipotent, renewing visitation of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is coming back soon. I want you to experience the sense that time is fleeting and we can't afford to be lax or lazy. Maybe the skies will break open today and Jesus Christ will return. This is not a moment for wasting time. "Lord, Come Quickly!" Dr. James MacDonald, WALK IN THE WORD
Occasionally, I come across a sermon by a popular preacher teaching that the Bible promises God's followers a life free from misfortune. "The Last Word" Woodrow Kroll and Tami Weissert, BACK TO THE BIBLE
