don't ignore a warning!

As I was catching up on some Internet reading, I came across this quote about the people of New Orleans:

There appear to be a lot of people who didn't even try to prepare for a disaster they all had been told was coming for a generation (then were told, point blank, 24 hours in advance, was now imminent) because they imagined that FEMA or the State of Louisiana had magical powers to save them, and it just doesn't work like that.

As I was reading the article, I began thinking ahead to another day... For over 2000 years, there has been a prediction of an even worse day than the day of Katrina, and it will come suddenly and catch all men by surprise, like a thief in the night. The Day of the Lord will come, and it is as certain as the sun rising in the east each morning. Christ WILL come back to claim His bride, the church, and we must be ready for it. What's more... the day of judgment will come too - the day in which those whose names were not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire. For over 2000 years, the warning has been sounded, first by Old Testament prophets, then by Christ, by the 12 Apostles, and now through pastors and teachers the world over - "These are the last days!" The warning is there... Heed it, and choose Christ as your Savior now! You may not get another chance! This isn't just "religious paraphanilia" as some might call it - it is as certain as as the sun rising in the morning. There IS a day of judgment - those who have taken appropriate action (trusting in Christ alone for salvation) will be saved, and those who were too lazy or complacent to do anything... well, they are headed for eternal destruction in the lake of fire. Scripture is so incredibly clear about this. Please be ready, folks! The warning has been sent out, and the time for action is NOW!
