It's not "better late than never"!

     Still don't have your attention, do I?  What are you waiting for?  There is an urgency to what God wants to do through you!  Putting things off until "tomorrow" isn't a good policy.  I'd like to pacify you with your not having done anything.  But, of course, I won't.  Neither will God.  It's not okay for you to sit back and do nothing and yet call yourself Christian.  You sit back, go to your games, party with your friends, and play your video games and haven't even said a word about your faith.  The only place where you can say "its better late than never" is in hell where your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and enemies are going to live eternally.  Still think that way?  It's because of Christians lack of discipline that they don't think, say and do what Jesus wants done.  It's because of Christians who don't care that the needs of the blind, elderly, orphans and others aren't being taken care of while those "Christians" sit in their homes, drive their cars and eat their food all the time bemoaning the fate of the less fortunate.  Better late than never?  I don't think so.  Jesus said, "As you have done to others you have done to me."  Do you tithe your 10%?  Not good.  The Bible says that we and everything we belong to the Lord even as we do.  Give 100% or at least make it available for His use when he wants and needs to use it.  Give away and you will be surprised as He takes care of our needs so we don't need to hoard to take care of ourselves.  Matthew tells us that  we should take No thought for tomorrow."  None.  It's not "better late than never."
     "I will wait for the right time, age and place to tell my children about Jesus."  Really?  When will that happen?  When will the time, age and place be better than now?  The Bible says that NOW is the day of salvation.  Not tomorrow, not next week, and we fool ourselves to think that way.  Being alive physically is a privilege and not a right.  Many are denied longevity and die early.  Everyone is included regardless of age or situation.  People can't buy their way into heaven.  Neither can good works do that job.  Only by dying to self and being alive with Jesus living through you are you able to step into heaven.  There is no short cut.  You can't "wait until the  last moment"  Should you do so, it may be too late.  After a worldly death there is no longer the option of "better late than never."  It's over.  There is no purgatory where you can exercise your choice to accept Jesus.  Sorry Catholics, it doesn't work that way.  You who listen to pastors who preach anything other than the Word of God and use their "wisdom" are led astray and you need to wonder if you are really saved.  Are you?  The Bible says that if anyone adds to or subtracts from the Holy Scripture their names will be removed from the book of life.  Mormons, are you listening?  Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah Witnesses, and other cults; are you listening?
     Here is the kicker.  ANYONE who teaches others to do the same are better off if you were thrown in the ocean with a weight tied to your neck.  That's what the Bible says.  Do you believe it?  Then stop worshipping Satan when you worship Halloween, Santa Clause at Christmas, the Easter Bunny during Easter, and other Satan inspired distractions taking your attention off Jesus.  Stop it!  Teaching your children to do likewise is telling them it's okay to worship Satan and to lie to their children.  Do you want to be asked about this when you stand before the Father?  Do you want to stand there and watch that child you failed to tell about Jesus walk into the lake of fire?  As they look back and ask you "Why?" what are you going to tell them?  "It's better late than never."  Right.
