I was reading a newspaper one day quoting a Christian author who theorized that Christ would call millions of Christians to heaven before sundown that particular day. A few minutes later, a friend walked up, sat down, and began to tell me that his life had been dramatically changed. He said that for the first time in his life he was ready to meet the Lord. This was good news, since we had often discussed his unwillingness to live in a manner consistent with his claim to be a Christian.
He said he decided that it was all or nothing. He had an amazing peace, and now he was also concerned about others. When I asked him what had happened, he told me he had read the book I had been reading about in the newspaper. He said he finally realized that whether Christ came on that day or another day, he would have to stand before the Lord eventually.
To claim that Christ will come today may result in a false alarm. But to believe that Christ may come today and that we will have to answer to Him will motivate us to live for Him.

Do you believe everything you read in the newspaper? If these Christians are so smart why aren't they rich? I fell off a ladder once and was immediately ready to meet the Lord. In fact I thought I had already met Him. At that time, I thought it was all or nothing. ( I didn't have a bowel movement until 8 days later) Anything can happen any time, and usually does! My advise when climbing a ladder is to Hang on for Dear Life! To answer your Question.... Yes I'm ready,( steady that ladder will you?)

We are rich, maybe not rich in money, but rich in love, joy, peace and Eternal Life which is far better than anything this world can offer.
God bless.

The bible says that no one not even Jesus knows when He will return. The bible says he will return with loud trumpets and will come from the east with a bright light and all will see him. There fore we should all live today as if he is coming now but also plan for tomarrow.

Hi Ngippol!
Yes, I am ready! I am saved by Jesus Christ! I am a sinner and I do not deserve to go to Heaven, but Jesus came to save me from my sins and I believe! I have repented of my sins and have received Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. It is totally life-changing! It is awesome!
No one knows when Jesus will come again. Only the Father in Heaven knows the exact day and hour. The Bible says that He will come like a theif in the night. Those who are saved will rejoice with unimaginable joy and gladness! Those who have rejected the Lord...this will not be a good day for them! We all need to come to the Lord Jesus NOW! Don't put it off. Satan always lies to us saying that we have time. Go, drink and be merry! You have plenty of time! Don't believe satan! We never know when our time will come to meet the Lord!
Jesus Christ loves you! He wants you to know Him and be with Him forever in Heaven!
God bless!
