I Never Found the Time!!!
(Although the ending of this poem does not line up with the truth of God's Word, I thought I would post it anyway to present a sharp rebuke to those of us Christians, myself included, who neglect to tell others about the truth of Jesus, Salvation, Heaven, and Hell because we are too busy with the things of this world week after week, day after day, hour after hour, etc.!!!)
I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease...
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"
Rev. 20:12-15 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I know I should be and could be doing much better at getting the gospel out to others. Shame on me!! Thank you for once again stepping on my heart!! I needed this.
Thanks Bro Jim needed this. I have been preaching this month on the need to reach lost people. The first message was are responsiblity to reaching lost people, second message is the example of reaching lost people, this week will be the call to reach lost people, then the last message will be the promise of reaching lost people. I pray it gives us a greater burden to do what we are suppose to do.
Bro Tim
Bro. Tim,
That sounds like a good series of messages; I pray that as a result, your church will bear much fruit in your community!!!
Sis. Julie,
My prayer is that we all can be better witnesses of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!!!

TO ACKNOWLEDGE ONES SPIRITUALITY IS A GOOD THING
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.

My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease...

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
ITS CALLED WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD GOD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
SUCH ARROGANCE ON THE PART OF THE DORK THAT CAME UP WITH THIS WORK OF WORDS
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
NAWWWWWW THEY WOULD IGNORE YOU [ OR WHOEVER WROTE THIS ROMANTIC TWADDLE OF SPIRITUAL NONSENSE. AS THEY IDENTIFY WITH GOD IN THEIR OWN WAY
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
OH PULEEEZEEEEE LOUISE SUCH SELF INDULGENCE
But at last the time, the time to die.
CAN I PUKE HERE?
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"
whoopeee. Whoever wrote this nonsense is a self indulgent twit That loves an S& M relationship with their spirituality to confirm their own pitiful existence which has NOTHING to do with GOD CONSCIOUSNESS
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
