The Chaplains Corner

Guest blogger, Chaplain Paul, is one of the most effective chaplains in America today. He is an emergency responder to every situation.

Hey, this is the Chaplain again.

The east Coast of the United States is suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Irene. Most people listened to the authorities and evacuated before the brunt of the storm hit. But there are always some who decide to ignore the warnings and ride it out, often with tragic results. It seems really foolish to stay in a place that is guaranteed to be in harm's way when you don't have to.

The Bible says,

'A sensible person sees danger coming and takes refuge, but the stupid does not and suffers for it.' (Proverbs 22:3)

Trying to ride out a hurricane can cause you serious injury or death. Trying to ride out your life without the Lord Jesus Christ as your refuge will cause you to lose your eternal soul.

Some of you reading this have heard the warnings many times. 'Repent or perish.' 'Give your life to Christ.' 'Confess and forsake your sins.' 'Invite Jesus to be your Savior and Lord.' You've heard the warnings, but have you ever heeded them? May I warn you one more time?

Please listen; one day it will be too late. The Bible says, "Today is the day of salvation." And "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved from the punishment of sin."
