First......that all may know Jesus.

This is the motto of First Baptist Dayton, TN

taken from 1 Timothy 2:3-5.

 "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,"

    The Ides of March was a time phrase that meant the middle of the month on the Gregorian Calendar. The phrase was made famous because of the death of Julius Caesar.

     A seer had prophesized that harm would come to Julius Caesar on the Ides of March. On his way to the theater that day, Caesar made the comment, "Well, the Ides of March are come", implying that the prophecy had not been fulfilled, to which the seer replied "Aye, they are come, but they are not gone."

Obviously later that day Brutus and 60 others assassinated Julius Caesar prompting the phrase “Et tu, Brute?”.

    From the time of creation until now is roughly 6700 years. I don’t believe we are in the Ides of time but at the end. In fact, I believe the very end of time. I am looking for the Lord’s return any day.

     I am excited about this! We should all be ready for Jesus’ return! But until He returns we are to occupy (Luke 19:13) and be about the Father’s Business (Luke 2:49)!

We have to trust the Lord in every aspect of our lives and ministry! He’s coming soon and I want us to thrive until He calls us home!

Et tu church member?
