Ain't nobody got time for that

Time is of the essence

God’s timing

Ephesians 5:15–17 CSB

Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise— making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

Colossians 4:5 CSB

Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.

John 4:34–37 CSB

“My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work,” Jesus told them. “Don’t you say, ‘There are still four more months, and then comes the harvest’? Listen to what I’m telling you: Open your eyes and look at the fields, because they are ready for harvest. The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that the sower and reaper can rejoice together. For in this case the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’

2 Peter 3:1–12 CSB

Dear friends, this is now the second letter I have written to you; in both letters, I want to stir up your sincere understanding by way of reminder, so that you recall the words previously spoken by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles. Above all, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days scoffing and following their own evil desires, saying, “Where is his ‘coming’ that he promised? Ever since our ancestors fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation.” They deliberately overlook this: By the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth was brought about from water and through water. Through these the world of that time perished when it was flooded. By the same word, the present heavens and earth are stored up for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. Dear friends, don’t overlook this one fact: With the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord does not delay his promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed. Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness as you wait for the day of God and hasten its coming. Because of that day, the heavens will be dissolved with fire and the elements will melt with heat.

1 Peter 4:1–9 CSB

Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same understanding—because the one who suffers in the flesh is finished with sin— in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for God’s will. For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the Gentiles choose to do: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry. They are surprised that you don’t join them in the same flood of wild living—and they slander you. They will give an account to the one who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel was also preached to those who are now dead, so that, although they might be judged in the flesh according to human standards, they might live in the spirit according to God’s standards. The end of all things is near; therefore, be alert and sober-minded for prayer. Above all, maintain constant love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining.

The end of all things

1000 years like a day

Signs of the times days are evil. Perilous

s times

What is our perspective?

Rejoice it’s getting close, so it time to get busy

Ain’t nobody got time for...

Prayerlessness

Wild living and running with the world. Letting human fleshly desires be our life and not the will of God

Strife, division, fussing and feudin’...

Putting off the harvest. It’s ripe now tell somebody about Jesus. How we act toward others. Not just what we tell them, but what we show them.

Being out of the will of God. Preparing is in the will of God, resting is in the will of God, studying the Word is in the will of God…Be in God’s will. In the church and ministry God wants you in doing your part.

Feeling sorry for yourself. It will stifle you and cause you to get buried in self pity and selfishness. We are war in a sense and don’t have time to wallow in it.

putting off your decision to follow Jesus and make him Lord of you life. Today is the day of salvation, the acceptable time. Don’t wait...
