If you weren’t there, you missed out! 

June 26th, 2010, was Flipsides Youth Picnic at Orange Park. If you weren’t there, you missed out on a lot of fun. With a head count of about 16 teens, we had a blast playing baseball & tackle football. Don’t worry, no one was hurt, thank the Lord Jesus in Heaven, because we don’t have insurance on these kids haha. Pictures will be posted on Flipsides Facebook and the Flipside homepage. Let’s keep it up and get with it.

Think About It…

“639 pages in this book. That means 306 more to go. Alright, I got three days to finish this novel, then write a summary+reflection about it.” After having been given a month and a half to do this, I scramble at practically the last minute to write a paper decent enough for some adequate grade. I stayed up, night after night in that last week, reading my assigned novel as much as I could. During the day, I’d write whatever I could whenever I had the chance. It was overwhelming to have so much to do with such little time left. I kept thinking, “this could have been easier, if only I had started early enough”. We were given a fair amount of time to complete this assignment, yet I end up getting so stressed over it because of my habitual procrastination.

However, if I can get away with finishing up at the last minute for school, it is not the same with God. Salvation is too important to deal with in the last hour. Just as I was given a month and a half to do one assignment, we are all given a lifetime to carry out the steps to be saved. As soon as you understand God’s plan of Salvation, you must take action, for we don’t know when our last breath or the coming of the Lord will be. It will be painful to have to regret and think the same thoughts I had for procrastinating over homework as when trying to get your name written in the Book of Life in the last minute.

Living in the endtimes can be either exhilirating or daunting, considering that we get closer to the Lord’s coming each day. It all depends on how you’re living. We must remember that God is not a homework or any temporary task that we can put off for later. There is much more urgency in living for Jesus today than ever before.

So let’s honor Him while we can, for we cannot blame time for going by so fast. We can only blame ourselves for falling behind. There is no better time to serve God than N0W
