No time

Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.
Hebrews 4:7

No time
In 1979, a Christian was travelling by plane to Chicago. Next to him sat a businessman who had passed the age of 50. They got into conversation. First, they talked about current affairs. Then they got onto talking about the Christian faith.

The fellow traveller explained: “I believe that religion can be useful. When I was young, I went to Bible classes every Sunday.”

Then the Christian asked him, “Can you say today that you are born again and possess life from God?” After some hesitation, the man replied, “I don’t know. You see, I am very busy. My work doesn’t allow me to take the time to ask such questions.”

“Do you really think that your professional activity is more important than the question of eternal life and your relationship with God?”

“Oh, life is a hard struggle,” replied the fellow traveller. “But I intend to retire in a few years. Then I want to get my life right with God. Now I have absolutely no time to do that.”

After landing, they parted. He took the flight to Los Angeles. That same evening, the news reported that this plane had crashed because of engine trouble. None of the 271 passengers had survived.

Today’s reading: 1 Kings 16:8-28 · John 11:17-31

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
