                                        "ASLEEP IN THE PEW"

Mat 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Mat 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Mat 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Mat 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
NOTE THAT THERE WERE 5 THAT MADE PREPARATIONS TO MEET GOD.
Mat 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
NOTE THAT THEY ALL SLUMBERED AND SLEPT. HOW MANY ARE ASLEEP IN THE PEW TODAY?
Mat 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Mat 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Mat 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Mat 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
WHY DID THEY NOT TELL THIS BEFORE
Mat 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
MANY ARE DECEIVED BY SATAN. LULLABIED TO SLEEP THINKING I HAVE ANOTHER DAY.
Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
FRIEND, THE DAY IS SWIFTLY APPROACHING. THE END IS NEAR. WILL YOU ALLOW THE DEVIL TO LIE YOU TO SLEEP? THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER. CHURCH IS NO GAME. GOD IS NO GAME. THIS IS REAL LIFE AND DEATH ISSUES. IT MAY NOT SEEM AS IF IT IS SO SERIOUS NOW, BUT ONE DAY WE WILL ALL KNOW JUST HOW SERIOUS IT TRULY. ARE YOU WATCHING? ARE YOU PREPARED? ARE YOU READY??? READY OR NOT HEAR HE COMES!!!
