It is inevitable (unless the return of Jesus intervenes!). You can bank on it. April 15th will roll around and with it the deadline to file your tax returns. I always work ahead. This year, I completed my federal and state returns sometime in February and my local return last week. But there are many ... millions ... who wait until the last minute. This is why post offices remain open to midnight on April 15 and why some Internet sites crash due to the onslaught of e-filers who are e-filing their tax returns as April 15th reaches its conclusion. It is called procrastination. And with millions of taxpayers procrastinating - there are probably millions of reasons as to why they do so! But no matter the reason for their procrastination, the deadline will not yield -and even though many opt to file an extension request, all must file something!For followers of Jesus Christ, there is coming in the future another day of accounting. Unlike the IRS's day of accounting, the date is unknown. But like our April 15 tax deadline, this future day of accounting for Believers will take place. You can count on it. Paul mentions it in 2 Corinthians 5:9-10 where he writes, "So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."
SOOO ... are YOU preparing for that Day? And keep in mind there will be NO extensions granted!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
