Send us a textThe ground beneath our routines is shaking, and the timeline for “someday” just ran out. We open a clear path from empty religion to a living relationship with Jesus—one marked by surrender, transformation, and Spirit-filled community. Drawing from Matthew 25, Romans 10, Hebrews 9:27, and Isaiah 53, we lay out why preparation matters more than platitudes and why “soon” in the kingdom often looks like “suddenly” in real life.We start with the midnight cry: wars, cold love, and truth traded for emotion—signs Jesus warned us about. From there, we unpack the ten virgins and the difference between desire and readiness, lamps and oil, profession and preparation. Salvation isn’t a line you cross and then coast; it’s a Lord you follow and a cross you carry. The evidence isn’t perfection; it’s direction—honesty over spin, repentance over excuses, hunger for God’s word over hunger for the world’s approval. We press against the enemy’s favorite lie—“you still have time”—and counter it with the clarity of Scripture: death, then judgment; grace, then glory.We also get practical. A prayer of surrender is a beginning, not a finish line. We point you toward a Bible-preaching, Spirit-filled church, rhythms of Scripture and repentance, and a community that keeps oil in your lamp when midnight hits. This is a call to live watchful and holy without panic or hype, to let the cross break what’s brittle and rebuild what’s true. We close with a sober hope: the door is still open, but the hinges are groaning.
