My Thoughts On The Worthless Death-bed
Repentance.
Christ said,"strive to enter by the narrow gate for
many,I say to you,shall seek to enter,and shall not be
able"Luke 13:24.And couldn't I prove Christ a Liar
saying to Myself:What is the use,going through so much
trouble?I will live as I please,and indulge my
senses,Then when I feel that death is at hand,I can
confess my sins,and still go to heaven.Of course,these
terms seems flattering and inviting to every Sinner,that
no wonder,they flock to lay greedy hold of such a
worthless religion; which may present an opportunity of
being saved without the rigour and trouble of a Holy
life. Some ignorant deluded souls vainly conceit that
these five words, 'Lord! have mercy upon me,'are
efficacious to send them to heaven,that no wonder an
Old divine once said,"Repentance damns more than
Sin.Now,oh,sinner! sinner! give me,if you can,an
example of real conversion where repentance was
deferred till the hour of death! There is but one well-
authenticated case,and that is the thief on
Calvary.“There is one,” says St.Augustine,“so do not
despair.it is the only one,do not trust too
presumptuously".Ask the Apostolic Fathers,those
enlightened interpreters of Scripture,what they think of
such a worthless repentance.Isidore calls it
suspicion.Bernard calls it rash and
presumptuous.Cyprian,Ambrose,
Gregory,Chrysostom,Thomas aquinas all laugh at such a
folly as utterly ridiculous and generally
speaking,worthless.“I dare not say,” writes St.
Augustine,“that one or the other individual who has
repented on his death-bed is lost forever,but I cannot
have any hope that he is in heaven".It remains true that
the thief on the cross repented at the last gasp Luk
23:39-43.But You would do well to remember:His
repentance was one of the miracles at Christ’s death,
and he glorified God more at his death than you
could,if you had been a penitent all your
life.So,Therefore the sinner’s hope is a vain one.If it is
probable that God will give you the grace of true
repentance then,why has God said quite the contrary?
Why has he never uttered the least syllable hinting that
he is ready to give you such a grace?Why does he
rather threaten in the opposite sense? “I will laugh,I will
mock,I will punish,I will not hear; you shall die in your
sin,” and lest we've forgotton,a thorough,and radical
change of life cannot be effected instanteneously.If you
love your sins yesterday,certainly,you will love them
better today;If you Love Da-grin yesterday
ah,certainly,you would love wizkid today and if you love
rick-ross yesterday,you would love certainly love lil
wayne today So My Friend,prepare to meet thy God and
do not put your eternity to such a desperate
chance.Spurgeon once said," The young may die;the
adult must! To sleep in infancy is to sleep in a siege; to
sleep in youth is to slumber during the attack.What! Will
you that are so near the Maker's court still put Him off
with the question "Go your way?" What! Procrastinate
now, when the knife is at your throat—when the worm
is at the heart of the tree and the branches have begun
to wither—when the molars in your mouth are failing
even now, because they are getting fewer and fewer
and your eyes that look out of the windows are
darkened? The dried up and yellow leaf has come on
you, and you are still not ready for your doom!" and
again remember those words of Augustine and Aquinas
"God has promised you today for your repentance and
not tommorow for your procrastination" and "God who
pardons the repentant has never promised tommorow
to repent in". |

Another South African Pastor Rides Church Members Like Horses, Even Made Them Eat Soap (See Photos) South Africa has recorded another strange “man of God” First it was South African Pastor Penuel of End Times Disciples Ministries who made his congregation eat all sorts of things from snakes to underwear. … and now this? And must it always be women?…Lol. The latest discovery is Prophet Agabus Nawa of Embassy of Glory Christ Centre. He hails from Mafikeng, North West, according to the information on an old Facebook page and defunct Twitter account. His claimed that he can command bath soap to taste like chocolate and make members of his congregation fall in deep sleep like God made Adam do. See more crazy photos... http://www.chichinwaafrica.com/2015/07/another-south-african-pastor-rides.html

emusmith:Prohibition of Arrogance and Oppression `Iyad bin Himar (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (sal-Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam ) said, "Verily, Allah has revealed to me that you should adopt humility. So that no one may wrong another and no one may be disdainful and haughty towards another."[Muslim]. Commentary: Anyone whom Allah has granted wealth or authority, beauty or splendour, should take it as Allah's Gift. He should take to adopt humility and humbleness and express his gratitude for it to Allah. He should benefit people with the gifts bestowed upon him by Allah and not make them a means of pride and oppression. 279/1589 - Riyad Us-Saliheen (Gardens of the Righteous) |
