Armageddon
Joel 3:14
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.


The matters between two armies are going to be finally decided: therefore the valley is called, "the valley of decision." This place is to-night a valley of decision. See some of the things you have to decide.

1. Whether you will adhere to sin or renounce it. Not your pleasures, but your positive sins. You cannot become a child of God and adhere to any one of your transgressions. Will it pay you to keep your sin? Sin never pays.

2. Whether you will have Christ or refuse Him. There is no pardon or heaven without the friendship of Christ. And He is such a precious Jesus.

3. Whether you will have Christian associations or unchristian. Need not apologise for everything that is in the Church. There is some bad and much good in the Church. The fact that there are inconsistent Christians is nothing against Christianity, and nothing against the Church. Come, then, into the ranks of Church members.

4. Whether you will have a Christian deathbed or an unbeliever's departure. There is a triumphant and there is an ignominious way of getting out of this life, and we come here to choose which it shall be.

5. Whether yours shall be a future world of sorrow or a future world of joy.

(T. De Witt Talmage.)
