“Knowing the Time, WAKE UP!” Romans 13:11
Dr. George Ragsdale, Pastor
West Marion Baptist Church, Morriston (Ocala), Florida

In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling which was in favor of the gay marriage issue (5-4), we look at some vitally important passages of Scripture in God’s Word today-passages that we should all be fully aware of so we can be prepared and ready to give an answer and sure defense of our Faith and of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this passage, the great Apostle Paul warns all of us that we should be aware that the time for the Lord’s return is drawing much nearer than when we first believed. And if the 2nd Coming of Christ is so near, the Rapture of the Church is even closer-just around the corner.

This undoubtedly was an unwelcome ruling and we do continue to pray for those who rule over us. But this ruling does not negate our responsibilities as Christians to do all we can to inform the lost of their plight if they don’t repent of sin and turn completely to faith and belief in Jesus Christ; and to encourage the saved to be ready to meet the Lord. As believers, we need to know how to handle ourselves during this difficult time period and what we should expect in the coming months, realizing our responsibility is to obey God rather than man.

The Word of God says that Christians are the children of the day and not of the night (1 Thessalonians 5:5). So we ought to know who we are, what we are doing, why we are here and where we are going. If you don’t know this, you can find out today. In this message, Pastor Ragsdale shares seven facts about the endtimes we now find ourselves living in.

It will be:

1. A Time of WICKED Deeds (2 Timothy 3:1-4; Romans 1:22-32)
2. A Time of WITCHCRAFT Deception (1 Thessalonians 9:9-12; 1 Timothy 4:1)
3. A Time of WILLFUL Delinquency (Romans 1:21-22; Hebrews 12:26)
4. A Time to WAKE UP the Dead (Ephesians 5:14-18; Philippians 2:5; 2 Timothy 1:6; 2 Peter 1:13; 3:1)
5. A Time to WORK Diligently (1 Peter 5:7-10; 1 Corinthians 15:58; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Colossians 1:10)
6. A Time to WALK with Dignity
*Walk in the LIGHT (1 John 1:7)
*Walk in TRUTH (3 John 4)
*Walk by FAITH (2 Corinthians 5:7)
*Walk WORTHY (1 Thessalonians 2:12)
*Walk HONESTLY (Romans 13:13)
*Walk in good WORKS (Ephesians 2:10)
*Walk in newness of LIFE (Romans 6:4)
*Walk in the SPIRIT (Galatians 5:16)
*Walk in LOVE (Ephesians 5:2)
*Walk in HIM (Colossians 2:6)
*Walk in WISDOM (Colossians 4:5)
*Walk in the COMMANDMENTS (2 John 6)
6. A WELCOME Deliverance (1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 7" class="scriptRef">1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 1:1, 3, 7; 22:6, 7,12, 20)
