Lord remind me how brief my time on earth will be.  Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away!  Psalm 39:4

When we were young we thought we were invincible, that we would live forever.  But really the older and wiser I get I see how frail and fragile our body is and our time on this earth is a very short time.  When I think about our congregation we learn one of our brothers has had double bypass surgery on Monday, and one of our sisters had a pace maker for her heart on Tuesday.  How many of our faithful have had knees or hips replaced?

Ye know not what shall be on the morrow.  For what is life?  It is even a vapor that appears for a little while then it is gone.  James 4:14

This verse tells us not to put off things we know we should be doing.  We do not know about tomorrow!  If you need to repent of your sins and have the Eldership pray for you, or to confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and be baptized please come forward today at the end of the service and make that known.  I would love to help you in either case.

Brothers and Sisters, don’t get caught up in the rat race to “keep up with the Joneses”.  Don’t try and work 7 days a week and 24 hours a day to get up that corporate ladder.  The ladder a Christian wants to climb is the ladder to Heaven! Just think if we dedicated that much time on our spiritual lives how much better Summit would be and this world?

Where do your priorities lie? How will you use the short, precious time you are given?

For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world and loose his soul?  Luke 9:25
