To The Heirs of the Kingdom of God


Heir of the kingdom, O why dost thou slumber? 
Why art thou sleeping so near thy blest home? 
Wake thee, arouse thee, and gird on thine armor, 
Speed, for the moments are hurrying on.

Heir of the kingdom, say, why dost thou linger? 
How canst thou tarry in sight of the prize? 
Up, and adorn thee, the Savior is coming; 
Haste to receive Him descending the skies.

Earth's mighty nations, in strife and commotion, 
Tremble with terror, and sink in dismay; 
Listen, 'tis nought but the chariot's loud rumbling; 
Heir of the kingdom, no longer delay.

Stay not, O stay not for earth's vain allurements! 
See how its glory is passing away; 
Break the strong fetters the foe hath bound o'er thee; 
Heir of the kingdom, turn, turn thee away.

Keep the eye single, the head upward lifted; 
Watch for the glory of earth's coming King; 
Lo! o'er the mountaintops light is now breaking; 
Heirs of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing.

"As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out My sheep , and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day." (Ezekiel 34:12) And as my favorite Scripture says, "I have called you by your name; you are Mine " (Isaiah 43:1). The Cloudy and Dark Day It i

My Birthday Project

This month, PlugIn2God is focusing on witnessing for Christ. Incidentally, I am going to be celebrating my sixteenth birthday this month. Now typically, sixteenth birthdays are huge extravaganzas that rival even the best weddings. In failing to come up with something "big" or "exciting", I decided to forget about the party. I decided to undertake a mission project for this month. Here are the details: I am asking for Bibles, copies of Steps to Christ , and monetary donations. The literature may be new or used; the only condition is that the "used" is usable and in good condition. The material will be given to one of the following organizations:  Maranatha Volunteers International ; Bibles Unbound ; or African Youth Ministries .   .  Donations will be accepted for the entire month of September. It will help me to complete my Literature Evangelism honor for Pathfinders. It will help you begin your journey as a gospel-giving Christian! To find out whe
