2 Cor. 5 [The Message]

If we don’t do it, who will get people ready to meet God and spend eternity?

Every acquaintance is a divine encounter. It’s an opportunity to influence them towards the Lord or leave them as you found them.

When I was freshly out of the army, I applied for a night security position so I could study at night while going to school in the day. Two gentlemen were interviewing me. The leader made the comment, “As long as your good outweighs the bad you’re ok.” My heart was screaming inside, “No, it’s not by works lest any should boast.” [Eph. 2:8,9] Sadly, I did NOT speak up to correct him. I found out later that he only lived one more week, passing from a massive heart attack. I just hope the Lord had someone more faithful than me come to witness the truth to him.

Since that regretful experience I have purposed to NEVER let that happen again.
