A Pastor's Plea.

Both Christians and non-Christians are often trapped by Satan's lies and worldly distractions, which makes it difficult for them to hear God's call to prioritize Him in their lives. However, God, in His mercy, always provides a warning before His judgment arrives. The moment to awaken is now before it becomes too late.

But if you turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them, then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name." * — 2 Chronicles 7:19-20

And again, through the prophet Ezekiel, God warns:

Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?"* — Ezekiel 33:11

God is merciful and full of grace, not wanting anyone to perish but all to repent. This is our wake-up call!

**Wake up** from the slumber of indifference.

**Wise up** to the truth that Satan's lies are robbing us of the life God has planned for us.

**Get up** and take action now before judgment comes. Fall to your knees in humble repentance, turning your heart back to your first Love—Jesus Christ. He is waiting, arms wide open, to restore, heal, and set you free. Let today be the day you return to Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.

And then, go vote!
