Hey, Sleepy Head! It's Time To Get Up!

In our Lord's gripping story, it was not only the foolish virgins, but ALSO THE WISE, who were sleeping as the Bridegroom approached (Matthew 25:1-13).

In our day, many of God's saints have drowsed off into a carnal security, where they become satisfied with the mere outward duties of religion. They may come to the meetings, but their hearts have a lukewarm indifference to:

• the cause of Christ in this world;
• the gospel of His grace;
• the church of His redeemed;
• and the interests of His glory.

Paul's words in Romans 13:11 should provide some shock treatment: "... now it is high time to awake out of sleep ... ."

This message is a rallying cry to revival – to a re-dedication of ourselves to our blessed Saviour and Lord.
