What If Tomorrow Never Comes?



What If Tomorrow Never Comes?

The enemy of our soul is sly and sneaky.   He will put anything and anybody in our path to distract us from what truly matters, knowing & following Jesus Christ.   And he will use innocent, honest things such as church, work, family, kids, kids’ activities, socializing as well as the obvious, alcohol, drugs, money and sex.

He, the enemy of our soul, convinces us that we always have tomorrow.   Tomorrow I will start going to church, tomorrow I will start reading my bible daily, tomorrow I will tell my neighbor about Jesus, tomorrow I will…, tomorrow I will…  Isn’t it so ever sly of that snake to slip yet another thing or person in our path when tomorrow comes … Soon tomorrow becomes next week, next month, and next year.

My question is, “What If Tomorrow Never Comes?”   What if today was your last day to get to know Jesus?  What if today was your last day to tell someone about Jesus, it could be their last day to hear about Jesus? 

What are you waiting for tomorrow to do?

I wish I could get a “do-over” for all those times when I was a bad witness or no witness at all.   I wish I could reach every single person in the world with my testimony.   I wish I could tell every single person in the world that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the difference between life and death.

If Tomorrow Never Comes, are you ready for eternity?

Live Life Abundantly and Authentically



The world must see our struggles as well as our strengths.  They must see, be able to connect, identify with us,  our broken wretched lives that once was, where God brought us from as well as all He had done & doing within us.  It is Him that brings us out of trials and into triumphs.

We all have a story.  A story of brokenness, healing & redemption.  At times these stories need to be shared, not stuffed into a closet pretending like that past life did not exist.  Have we become so self-righteous that we have forgotten that we were once sinners also?  We must not ever forget where we came from.

It’s time to stop hiding and take off those religious fake faces – Stop suppressing the Glory of God!  It’s time to be real, to be transparent.   We must stop speaking Christianese and start speaking in a language that the world understands. 

When we live authentically, when the world sees that we are broken and useless, nothing without God, when the world can identify and connect to us, it is then that our ministry has begun.  It is then that true love is revealed and chains are broken.

 “Knowing who you are in Christ enables you to live authentically.”
