 CR> Go To Morning Reading Evening, December 31
 CR> oThe harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.o
 CR> u Jeremiah 8:20
 CR> Not saved! Dear reader, is this your mournful plight? Warned of the
 CR> judgment to come, bidden to escape for your life, and yet at this
 CR> moment not saved! You know the way of salvation, you read it in the
 CR> Bible, you hear it from the pulpit, it is explained to you by friends,
 CR> and yet you neglect it, and therefore you are not saved. You will be
 CR> without excuse when the Lord shall judge the quick and dead. The Holy
 CR> Spirit has given more or less of blessing upon the word which has been
 CR> preached in your hearing, and times of refreshing have come from the
 CR> divine presence, and yet you are without Christ. All these hopeful
 CR> seasons have come and goneuyour summer and your harvest have pastuand
 CR> yet you are not saved. Years have followed one another into eternity,
 CR> and your last year will soon be here: youth has gone, manhood is going,
 CR> and yet you are not saved. Let me ask youuwill you ever be saved? Is
 CR> there any likelihood of it? Already the most propitious seasons have
 CR> left you unsaved; will other occasions alter your condition? Means have
 CR> failed with youuthe best of means, used perseveringly and with the
 CR> utmost affectionuwhat more can be done for you? Affliction and
 CR> prosperity have alike failed to impress you; tears and prayers and
 CR> sermons have been wasted on your barren heart. Are not the
 CR> probabilities dead against your ever being saved? Is it not more than
 CR> likely that you will abide as you are till death for ever bars the
 CR> door of hope? Do you recoil from the supposition? Yet it is a most
 CR> reasonable one: he who is not washed in so many waters will in all
 CR> probability go filthy to his end. The convenient time never has come,
 CR> why should it ever come? It is logical to fear that it never will
 CR> arrive, and that Felix like, you will find no convenient season till
 CR> you are in hell. O bethink you of what that hell is, and of the dread
 CR> probability that you will soon be cast into it! 
 CR> Reader, suppose you should die unsaved, your doom no words can
 CR> picture. Write out your dread estate in tears and blood, talk of it
 CR> with groans and gnashing of teeth: you will be punished with
 CR> everlasting destruction from the glory of the Lord, and from the glory
 CR> of his power. A brotherAs voice would fain startle you into
 CR> earnestness. O be wise, be wise in time, and ere another year begins,
 CR> believe in Jesus, who is able to save to the uttermost. Consecrate
 CR> these last hours to lonely thought, and if deep repentance be bred in
 CR> you, it will be well; and if it lead to a humble faith in Jesus, it
 CR> will be best of all. O see to it that this year pass not away, and you
 CR> an unforgiven spirit. Let not the new yearAs midnight peals sound upon
 CR> a joyless spirit! Now, now, NOW believe, and live. 
 CR> oESCAPE FOR THY LIFE;
 CR> LOOK NOT BEHIND THEE,
 CR> NEITHER STAY THOU IN ALL THE PLAIN;
 CR> ESCAPE TO THE MOUNTAIN,
 CR> LEST THOU BE CONSUMED.o
 CR> Spurgeon, Charles H., Morning and Evening, (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos
 CR> Research Systems, Inc.) 1995.
 Brother Charles, absolutely no disrespect whatsoever is meant, 
 but I must ask this question after reading your post..."How 
 can a person be "saved" and "die" at the same time?"!
 It would seem to me that this is indeed the question of the
 ages and few there be that have answered it satisfactorily in
 the past 6000 years, due to the fact that the devil has kept
 the answer in complete confusion, right?
Just another humble servant of The Kingdom.......clarence.......
... The devil can't operate if we don't cooperate!
