| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Tuesday, February 17th. Today's message will help you embrace an eternal perspective by understanding your predestined appointment. Our series Countdown to Judgment continues. The title of this series is Countdown to Judgment. The title of the message is our predestined appointment. |
| 0:24.4 | We have an appointment with Almighty God. We all have one. You say, well, I didn't sign up for that. |
| 0:29.6 | You didn't have to. He signs you up. You will be there. You will be on time. There'll be no delay. |
| 0:37.0 | Our unavoidable, predestined appointment |
| 0:40.2 | with God cannot be changed. Now, for something to be predestined means that God prepared it beforehand, |
| 0:49.3 | planned it, and since he is ruler over all things, it will happen. It will not be delayed under any condition. |
| 0:56.6 | And oftentimes what to us seems to be an accident, because God is in absolute control of all things, |
| 1:03.3 | he knows the very single moment in which we are going to be called. And is it not true that so many |
| 1:09.9 | people leave this life and they didn't plan on it. |

| 1:23.6 | The issue for us is, are we ready to meet the Lord who has predestined and planned our life, |
| 1:31.7 | and the clock is ticking down, it may take a long time or a short time? The problem is we don't |
| 1:37.6 | know what it is. That's why it's foolish for someone to say, well, well, when I get, after I'm about |
| 1:43.0 | 25 or 30 or 40, I'll think about being a Christian. |
| 1:45.4 | You may not live that long. |
| 1:47.1 | It's very foolish for you to presume upon God how long you're going to live. |
| 1:52.3 | You don't know how long that is. |
| 1:54.7 | And so what I want us to do in this message is to just understand one thing. |
| 1:58.8 | We, each one, will stand before the Lord Jesus Christ and give an account for our life. |
| 2:05.3 | Now, I want to clarify a couple of scriptures here, and we're talking about the judgment seat of the Christian. |
| 2:12.7 | There are two judgments, and I want you to read briefly just about one of them in a moment, |
