What are "signs of the times?"
What does that phrase refer to?
Much more than you realize.
Let me explain it to you.
In the Bible theres a period of time
Before Jesus comes to take us home;
When worldly influence will gain ground,
And Christians will allow it to come.
"Signs of the times" are more than nature.
They are, sin and corruption running wild,
Biblical principals taken lightly,
And Christian values being defiled.
Unwillingness to grow and mature
For fear youll be made fun of,
Greatly saddens our Lord on high
Because Hes our strength and love.
Were here for His soul winning purpose.
Put your eyes back on the Lord.
Keep your feet on the straight and narrow.
Its not a price you cant afford.
Time grows short, theres so much to do,
The people wont listen, what can we do?
The world around us is caving in,
With very few paying attention.
The real problems of this world?
Spiritual warfare upon us hurled.
The Bibles unfolding right before our eyes
Yet so many refuse to see their demise.
What will it take for people to see,
Jesus; Hes the only way to be free.
Sin and corruption wherever we go
But the Son shines through, I know!
The choice is yours, please make it now,
A regrettable decision, or a heavenly vow.
Choose Satan and burn for making the wrong choice.
Choose God the Father and youll hear His voice
Saying, "Im so happy you chose to be
Part of my heavenly family."
If I could describe the pain in my heart,
It would be as if it were torn apart.
I cant believe what I just heard tonight;
Our church wants us out of their sight.
All because we stood on firm ground
And turned away from doctrine unsound.
Study Gods word; thats all I ask.
Stop relying on someone else for that task.
God just wants us to focus on Him,
Not our past, present, or future sin.
God will give us interpretation,
As we mature in consideration
To His word; obeying His commands,
Giving up our selfish demands.
No matter what the popular vote,
I wont join the world to promote
False doctrine and heresy.
I wont become like a Pharisee.
With Gods word as my foundation
Ill stand firm in my generation.
And in Jesus holy name,
Ill teach my kids to do the same.
I felt the pain of a broken heart
When a loved one said "from the start
Ive not believed nor will I ever,
I wont take part of this foolish endeavor."
Misconceptions of truth and love
Blinds the world to the Father above.
Within callused hearts it will spread,
Allowing sin and deception to be fed.
Its increasingly harder every day
To keep from screaming "listen or pay."
Lord, give us strength in these troubled times
To do your will for the good of mankind.
Lord, you know the burdens we bear,
Our hearts are heavy because we care.
Help us to be examples, to share
The love of Jesus, your beloved heir.
When problems dont work out
And seem to only get worse,
Take a moment to think about
Who you are putting first.
When life promises to produce
Everything you strive for,
Dont let yourself be seduced
By worldly pressure for more.
You can expect life to be hard,
But your decisions will surely tell,
Whether or not youve been scarred
By the worlds enticing spell.
Life holds no guarantees,
On that you can be sure of.
But the Lord provides your necessities,
As well as His guidance and love.
Be content with His security
Especially when riches are few,
You cant get a better guarantee
Than the one He holds for you.
Peace of Mind
What gives you peace of mind?
What puts your soul at ease?
Is comfort hard to find
In your difficulties?
When answers you are seeking
Seem kind of scarce,
Dont fool yourself in thinking
That nobody cares.
You can find all the peace
Your heart ever desired.
From Jesus, who guarantees
His love never expires.
Jesus says: "Seek and you shall find,
Ask and it will be given."
If youll only take the time
Your sins will be forgiven.
Once youve chosen to believe
That Jesus died for you,
New life in Christ is received,
And your peace of mind too!
Harvest of Souls
This is not a story nor is it a dream.
Its not science fiction for it is clearly seen
In the book of Revelation, a book of prophesies,
That life as we know it will some day cease.
The season is here, the day is close
But the hour of harvest no one knows.
Jesus will reap what he sows.
Theres going to be a harvest of souls.
Read John 3:16 and Ephesians 2:8,9;
Believe Gods word and you will find
When Christ takes his children home,
You will see that majestic throne.
If you wait much longer it may be too late.
The direction you choose will determine your fate.
A wrong decision would truly be sad,
After thinking what you might have had.
