Warning! Danger Ahead!
Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 1:28

Matthew 24:32-35
Secret intelligence networks exist to warn of impending terrorist attacks. Radar systems warn of approaching missiles. Deep-water buoys warn of approaching tsunamis. And Doppler radar warns us to hide from approaching tornadoes.
Why do we invest so many resources--money, technology, people--in warning systems? Because of the innately felt desire to protect and save human life, the most valuable part of God's creation. There is one warning system that no government or agency can implement; it can only be carried out by those who know the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word. The warning is this: "God intends to judge the world in which we live; His righteousness requires it. All who have not repented of their sins and found forgiveness through God's Son, Jesus Christ, will
find themselves caught up in God's judgment and consigned to an eternity separated from Him." Every Christian is to warn those nearby of this coming judgment.
You would warn your neighbors of an approaching tornado. Have you pointed out to them the gathering storm clouds that portend God's judgment?
If you are not seeking the Lord, judgment is at your heels.
C. H. Spurgeon
