Lingering During The Countdown

" In the latter times, some shall depart from the faith."

(1 Tim 4:1)

Lingering means to take one's time, proceeds slowly, leave hesitantly. In the book of Genesis 9:15-16, 17 & 24, a man named Lot disobeyed God's command instead of hurrying to leave the sin city of Sodom and Gomorrah, he lingered and loitered. He does not want to abandon the wealth and comfort in Sodom.

I- Do Not Delay God's Offer of Salvation- Do not practice "wait-a-minute" mentality because time is running out. Saying " it's too early" makes it too late.

II-Do Not Set Your Affections on Earth- we must not love the world. We must set our affections above.

III-Decide for Christ Before It's Too Late- here is a poem:

Blame Me Not

Ye call me master and obey me not;
Ye call me light and see me not;
Ye call me way and walk not;
Ye call me life and desire me not;
Ye call me wise and follow me not;
Ye call me fair and love me not;
Ye call me rich and ask me not;
Ye call me eternal and seek me not;
Ye call me gracious and trust me not;
Ye call me noble and serve me not;
Ye call me mighty and honor me not;
Ye call me just and fear me not;
If I condemned you Blame Me Not!
