 Hi and welcome to this special broadcast directly from our studios at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Orlando Florida. My name is Edgar and today I have a special treat for all the women who are listening and it's a special invitation to our 2015 Women's Conference under the title Tested and True Women and the Truth of Christian Suffering. This women's conference will be hosted at Cornerstone Baptist Church the 17th and 18th of July. The woman will greatly enjoy a time of fellowship, joyful worship and music and biblical teaching. And speaking of biblical teaching allow me to present our special guest who is joining us via phone all the way from Tulsa, Oklahoma Ms. Susan J. Hegg. Thanks for taking the time to join us on this broadcast Susan. Thank you Edgar it's good to be here. Well it has definitely been a blessing to have you join us these past few broadcasts Susan and I know the women who are listening have been highly encouraged by the bits of information you have provided of what is to come of our women's conference. Now Susan moving on to the last session the title reads How to Occupy Till He Comes. Let me ask you a question what are some of the points that First Peter makes in regards to how women should live in our world today? Yeah you know we live in an age where you know we have a lot of different views on eschatology I always think it's interesting we just have gone through some things in our church on eschatology and even in our reformed church we have different views you know some people are post millennia some are all millennia some are pre millennial all millennial on you go and I like to pan millennia for you myself it's all gonna pan out me and so and you know I grew up in a Baptist minister's home and my dad loved Bible prophecy that was his thing and he had a he had a television program called I Kingdom Come and he would I began his program with Mary Natha our Lord is coming and he loved to study the prophetic books Revelation and Daniel and he was always waiting for the Lord's return and so I grew up kind of with a prophetic diet and even though I wasn't saved at the time but now I'm I am looking forward to the Lord's return and you know we really do need to be occupying the time is short I don't know what you know the women listening what their eschatology is or their views are but and I don't I don't think we should make that a matter of fellowship but the Lord is coming we know the Lord is coming and Peter says the Lord is coming and seeing that he is coming we are to be holy and living righteously and so we're to occupy till he comes and so as Peter kind of winds down his epistle in first Peter four he says you know the end is coming the end is coming therefore we better be serious that's the first thing he says we better be serious we better be sober and you know we live in a world Edgar that I think one out of two now Americans on some type of psychotropic drug and so when we consider that that's very concerning in view of what Peter says we must be serious we must have our wits about us because the Lord's coming and so if our mind is dulled by drugs or alcohol or anything like that we are not going to be alert to be about what we're supposed to be doing and that is the great commission in fact Peter says that we can hasten the day of the Lord we need to be about vandalizing and so there's a lot of things that we should be doing but we need to be serious we need to be praying Peter says be watchful in our praying and I would consider there that being watchful in our praying not just praying that we'll be able to endure whatever is coming but also the opportunities to share the gospel with those that are lost and going down just in just a few hours I'm going to be having lunch with one of my siblings who's lost and I've shared the gospel with her over and over again but again I'm impressed today you know I need to share again the time is short and she needs to repair and turn her life over to the Lordship of Christ because anybody can read read the newspaper and see what's going on like you know the end is at hand I mean when you consider what's going on in our world with same-sex marriage and and now there's legislation out there with parents wanting to introduce sex to their children by having sex with them and we're heading for beyond Sodom and Gomorrah it's just vile and so we must be about the gospel so we must be serious we must be watchful we must have fervent love for one another it's not a time for Christian people to be bickering with one another about silly things in the church we need to be coming together and I'm not saying coming together at the sake of doctrine but I mean those of us and in bodies that are truly sold out to Christ we need to be loving one another serving one another and forgiving one another so we're going to be really looking at how to occupy till it comes and as I said I don't I don't know what the eschatology topology view is of women that and maybe some of them don't even know where they stand on some of these issues but and some of that is very important I don't mean to diminish that at all but the important thing is we need to be ready we need to be watchful and we must be about the Lord's business and fulfilling the Great Commission and evangelizing because the time is at hand and the time is short and I really believe that with all my heart so I hope as we end with this session how to occupy till he comes on Saturday afternoon I pray that the women will go out with with a lot of encouragement and zeal to put away the idols of their life and the frivolous things that they're about choose the things that are excellent and be about the Lord's business because the time is short so I'm excited about our last session together thank you so much Susan for sharing a
