I stole that title from a friend of mine. Thank you Steve! Steve is a friend of mine from when I worked at the Sheriff's Dept. in CA. Actually he worked with my wife and that is where I really got to know him. Ironically Steve and I have ended up following similar paths. When we hung out it was with our wives and other couples. There was usually fair amounts of alcohol involved and if God's name came up, it was probably being taken in vain. Steve is one of those guys that can always make you laugh.
I recently sent out an e-mail to everyone in my address book to invite them to read my blog. It was kind of liberating because many of these people have never heard me talk about my faith in Jesus. I'm not ashamed of Him, or am I? I have never hid my faith, but in this world, if you don't shout it out loud you are ashamed.
Anyway, Steve's response included the phrase you see in the title of this blog. Today I studied Mark 12 & 13. In chapter 13 Jesus is telling the Apostles to guard against false teachings and be on guard for the "end of the age." How should we be on guard? How do we guard against false teaching?
READ YOUR BIBLE!
You have to know the truth before you can identify a lie! Jesus tells us that, to God, a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. What does that tell you? Be ready. Pack up, look up, He's coming soon.
