Do It Today

Someone once said, "Procrastinating is my sin, it brings me endless sorrow. I really must stop doing it‑‑in fact, I'll stop tomorrow." Does this sound like anyone you know?

Sometimes we say, "The Church must really go ahead. Now is the time for her to come alive." If everyone went out and brought in two neighbors to add to the congregation, it could happen very quickly.

Doesn't this sound exciting? What a great feeling it gives us to think of the Church growing and coming alive, and working for the Savior!

But, of course, I have other commitments too. I would like to get to church more often, but so many other things crowd in. I plan soon to get more serious about my prayer life, and reading the Bible, and talking to others about going to church. I wonder who those new people were in church last week? I didn't speak to them because I was sure Frank would do it. Why don't the young people come like they used to? Things sure aren't the same as they were when everyone was so faithful. Can't see why the Church keeps asking for more money? I've been giving my $5 a week for ages now!

O Lord, people are so careless these days about spiritual things. I wish the Church could do more for more people. People sure do need the Gospel and the good old‑time religion. Some day I plan to get back to Sunday School again. One of these days, we'll get more active!!!

P.S. What if God with‑held His love until "tomorrow"?

The next time you feel like God can't use you,
just remember...
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Moses had a stuttering problem
David had an affair and was a murderer
Peter denied Christ
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious, AND
Lazarus was dead!
