Dear Seedling, When I was working in the prison ministry, something interesting took place. One of the inmates was released on parole earlier than expected. As he was cleaning out his things, he took his Bible, loudly proclaiming to the other inmates "I don't need this anymore!" and threw it in the trash can. Twenty-four hours he was killed by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now, I'm not saying that this man's death was a direct result of his spurning the Word; however, the rest of inmates thought so, and we had little difficulty with disrespect for years following. It is difficult to get people to realize that at any given moment they are a heartbeat away from standing before God. It is only by the grace of God that we continue to live a moment longer. How awful it is for those who are not prepared to stand before Him. No one expresses the precarious circumstances of such people more eloquently than Jonathan Edwards in his famous sermon. http://www.jonathanedwards.com/sermons/Warnings/sinners.htm In Him, Doc |

Yes, people need to realize that death can occur at any moment. Psalms 144:4 That is why we need to tell people about Jesus... I told God I will tell a person I knew tomorrow after I felt the person needed to hear the message of Jesus at that time. He died in his sleep that night! I asked and received forgiveness, learn from it, and tell others so they do not make my unfortunate mistake! Also many years ago, in one year, ten people I knew very well died ranging from age 7 to 77. The ten year old had a heart attack and the last thing I told him the day before was that Jesus love him. He just smiled when I said that. Psalm 144:4 Seedling |
