5 Reasons why This could be your last year at {Insert name of your church here}
*my sunday sermon
1. Foundations can be Forgotton- (Rev 2:1-7) If your local church has left their first love, it may be removed by Christ.
2. Freedom is Fleeting- Religious freedoms are beginning to be challenged. If public church was against the law, would you continue being part of the church?
3. Faith is a Fight- You don't know what this year has in store. Do you have a strong enough faith to endure? (1 Timothy 6:11-12, 2 Timothy 4:7).
4. Flesh is Failing- (Genesis 5) The human death rate is 1 per person. Now is the time for salvation. We never know when our last breath will be.
5. Christ is Coming- (Philippians 3:20) We are eagerly awaiting the return of Christ. 2005 could be the year of His return.
Every day is a precious gift from God
Time is a responsibility, not a right
2005 is a gift, not a guarantee
This could be your last year here
Seize the day!

Nice. I'd love to read the rest of it. Good ideas in there, though. The only thing missing is scripture references for point 2.
For point 2 I just contrasted the persecution the early church faced with the kind of legal persecution we are beginning to face in North America. That was my shortest point. I just gave a few examples from current events.
is the human death rate seriously 1 per person?!?! crap!
Well...there is Enoch and Elijah I guess
You could take your chances
in reference to point five, i will soon be publishing a book titled "2005 reasons why Christ will return in 2005"
thanks for the inspiration matt
What month will that be? I want to know if it's worth trying to find a girlfriend at this point.
