Colossians 4:5-6
5 Walk in iwisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
1 Pet 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

Meeting with the god of this world...
Rev 12:9
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
1 John 2:15-17
Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
NKJV
1 John 5:19
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
Mark 4:19
and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

Video Worth Watching...
A video produced by a bible believing body within a great church. This video was taken at the Kitsap County Fair this summer. It was done by Calvary Church of Port Orchard. They have done this for several years.
The church also has a "Taste and See" Ministry that gets the Word out at local events throughout the year.
Thank you to all the people that made this event and video possible, I look forward to more videos from this Youtube channel and the ministry it will do.

Don't Waste It!!!
God has been pulling at me lately. Really, trying to show me what I am doing and not doing. What is of value and what isn't.
I DO NOT want to waste it. I know I will make mistakes along the way and I am human so I may get side tracked but I will not waste it.
When we are children and even as adults what is the greatest thing we can hear from a parent or teacher at the end of the day?
Well done. Well done.
Matthew 25:21 "Well done, good and faithful servant;..."
The alternative:
Matthew 7:22-23
Many will say to me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?" And then [Jesus] will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"
We here on earth can barely tolerate a parents rejection. We can still make our own decisions and enjoys God's creation while rejecting Him. While we are yet in these bodies, we are not completely removed from His blessing. It is only by blessing/grace that we are not swallowed up by the ground or simply struck dead. While we are alive on earth, it is not too late to humble ourselves, repent and ask for forgiveness.
BUT,
Once our bodies die... those who have rejected Him, will be forever separated from His presence and cast into Hell. Where they will get what they have always wanted... LAWLESSNESS! No restraint on pain and suffering. It will be eternal, endless, forever... Think that cut on your finger is annoying because it takes a week to heal? There is no healing in everlasting torment.
Anyway, that was a bit of a tangent from my main point.
No-one should waste their life. But I am mainly talking to Christians right now.
Matthew 13:23 says: But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
If we love the Lord. (Remember, what does it mean to call someone Lord? and what does it mean to live as if that person is your Lord?) Why are we so shy about it? Why do so many remain quiet while the lawless take over the land? Why are there so many that have not heard the Gospel or had it explained to them by a follower/child of Christ?
Why are we so complacent or content in our own little life that we say we care about others but we allow so many to perish without so much as showing who Christ is...
