Are You Ready?
Contributed by Brad Henry on Aug 11, 2011 (message contributor)
ARE YOU READY?
Are you ready to dwell in the “house of the Lord forever”? If not then ask yourself why? Most of us cling on to something that is sinful just because we are comfortable here.
That is like asking a baby to experience life outside the womb. They would say “No Way” I have a great life in here. But you see every child would miss the life they are given when they choose to stay where they are. Fortunately for us God knows better and that’s why we don’t have a choice with labor. Once the pain starts, the baby is coming.

The great Anglican Bishop, J. C. Ryle, said of these first seekers of truth (the Magi), “We read of no greater faith than this in all the Bible.
