"Where Are You Heading, In 2019?"

I get troubled when I see people so interested in these "Ancestry" websites.  If only folks were more interested in where they're HEADED rather than where they're FROM, they would be much better off.

We cannot change where we're FROM, and ultimately, if we go back far enough we all share the same first parents, Adam and Eve.  The "Family Tree" which affected ALL of us is the one God told them not to eat of, and because of their disobedience we all inherited the sin nature of our first parents.

"Ancestry" websites will never tell you this, but the BIBLE does.  People usually search ancestry sites to try to find out something flattering about their lineage, but God's Word tells us the painful truth about ourselves....namely, we are all sinners in need of a Savior.

So we can't change ANYTHING about where we're FROM but we can, (God helping us by His Grace), change where we're HEADING, you see.

Today is December 31st, the last day of the year 2018 and, like it or not, if you live past midnight you WILL enter a new year and be one year closer to eternity.  

You can't change that, EITHER!! Neither can the richest and most powerful people in the world.  But if you are not already saved,with your sins forgiven and washed in the Blood of Jesus Christ, you CAN still change where you are HEADING.

Where ARE you heading??  Well, according to Scripture, ALL of us (except those who are alive when Jesus returns) are headed for DEATH and JUDGMENT.  And Death and Judgment will either land you in Heaven or Hell for all eternity...we are all heading to one place or the other, depending (from the human side) on what WE do with the Good News of the Gospel.

You can change where you're heading by going to Jesus, in faith, NOW and asking Him to forgive YOU as He has done to me and countless millions of others. Because when 2019 hits us, where you're FROM is a year farther away, and where you're HEADING is another year closer.  Scripture says we don't know what will happen in a DAY, never mind a whole YEAR so today if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart...don't even WAIT till 2019.

My prayer is that, in the midst of all the phony festivities lost people partake of to forget what the coming of a new year REALLY means, (namely, that death and judgment are creeping ever closer), that YOU will ask where you're heading in 2019.  And, if YOU are lost, I pray that you'll do something to change your future...get saved in the Blood of Jesus Christ!! Amen!!
