"It is time to seek the Lord."-Hosea 10:12
    
    This month of April is said to derive its name from the Latin verb aperio, which signifies to open, because all the buds and blossoms are now opening, and we have arrived at the gates of the flowery year. Reader, if you are yet unsaved, may your heart, in accord with the universal awakening of nature, be opened to receive the Lord. Every blossoming flower warns you that it is time to seek the Lord; be not out of tune with nature, but let your heart bud and bloom with holy desires. Do you tell me that the warm blood of youth leaps in your veins? then, I entreat you, give your vigour to the Lord. It was my unspeakable happiness to be called in early youth, and I could fain praise the Lord every day for it. Salvation is priceless, let it come when it may, but oh! an early salvation has a double value in it. Young men and maidens, since you may perish ere you reach your prime, "It is time to seek the Lord." Ye who feel the first signs of decay, quicken your pace: that hollow cough, that hectic flush, are warnings which you must not trifle with; with you it is indeed time to seek the Lord. Did I observe a little grey mingled with your once luxurious tresses? Years are stealing on apace, and death is drawing nearer by hasty marches, let each return of spring arouse you to set your house in order. Dear reader, if you are now advanced in life, let me entreat and implore you to delay no longer. There is a day of grace for you now-be thankful for that, but it is a limited season and grows shorter every time that clock ticks. Here in this silent chamber, on this first night of another month, I speak to you as best I can by paper and ink, and from my inmost soul, as God's servant, I lay before you this warning, "It is time to seek the Lord." Slight not that work, it may be your last call from destruction, the final syllable from the lip of grace.

The year When Jesus Comes



For the beginning the New Year I thought I'd share this song lyrics.  It is one of my favorite songs.  You may listen to it here.  However, ever I don't believe it is the Year that Jesus will come.  Why???  Because the Bible tells us he'll come when we least expect it as a thief in the night I Thessolonians 5:2 ~ "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."
and everyone is expecting the end of the world in 2012.  Besides the world won't end as we know it when he comes back.  There will be great tribulation before the world ultimately ends.  Revelation in the Bible is a good book to study for the last days' account.  Anyway, I still love this song it gives the listeners something to think about.



This Could be the Year when Jesus Comes 
You may listen to it here.
CHORUS
What if this could be the year when Jesus comes
The year that we've been waiting for so long
We'd have so little time to7get our lost world won
If this could be the year when Jesus comes
 
VERSE 1
Years have come and years have gone
Since Jesus went away
Leaving us the promise that He'd come again someday
And…
 
CHORUS
What if this could be the day when Jesus comes
The day that we've been waiting for so long
We'd have so little time to get our lost world won
If this could be the day when Jesus comes
 
VERSE 2
He will comes so quickly in the twinkling of an eye
In a moment we think not
He'll split the eastern sky
And…
 
CHORUS
What if this could be the moment when Jesus comes
The moment that we've been waiting for so long
We'd have no time, no time to get our lost world won
If this could be the moment when Jesus comes
You may listen to it here.
