I had to search the internet to find the answer to a question. When was the end of Daylight Saving Time changed from the last Sunday of October until the first Sunday of November?
It all began when someone forwarded a post recently on Facebook saying that the Daylight Saving time change would take place in October, but I knew that wasn’t right. I found that it doesn’t take place until 2 a.m. Sunday morning. Nov. 1, 2015.
God set up the sun, moon, and stars to “serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years.” Genesis 1:14 NIV.
Remember that famous line in spy movies? “Gentlemen, synchronize your watches.” Set your watches all to the same exact time. You have a mission, so your watches should all be synchronized for the purpose of keeping everyone on track.
Jesus gave His disciples an order, what we call the Great Commission. “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 NIV.
Jesus sent the disciples all out at the same time. He said, “You go and make disciples. And remember that when you set your watches and go, I’ll go with you always, every time, because we’ll all be working in unison, synchronized, and on track.”
Each local church won’t have the same exact job, but when each church does its part and when they have “synchronized their watches to the heavenly time,” the whole world will be evangelized.

It’s time that the church gets on track, set our watches, and get ready for our common mission. The church has been called by God to evangelize the whole world.
