Hello Everyone,
Years ago, a story appeared in a Northwestern newspaper concerning a truck driver who, on a foggy night plunged his rig down a river gorge where he’d expected to find a familiar bridge. But the bridge was out. Miraculously uninjured, the shaken trucker managed to crawl from the wreckage and make his way back up to the road. Frantically waving his arms and screaming at approaching vehicles, he did all he could to warn them of the impending danger.
"The bridge is out! Turn around!" Most of the traffic on this foggy night ignored his pleas, considering him a wacko -- to their own danger.
Such is the situation many in our modern world face. Many have actually experienced the pitfalls this life holds and know which way is the wrong direction. But their warnings go unheeded. In fact, most are reviled, ridiculed -- and yes, flamed -- for having the arrogance to tell others which is the wrong way.
But what if there really is a wrong and a right direction? Are you sure that the road you travel won’t leave you without a bridge at your journey’s end?
When we speak God’s Truth to others, we have done our job and their response is not our problem.
If we fail to confront them with the claims of the Gospel, we will be held accountable.
As rescuers all we can do is show the way by our lives our actions and our words.
As one Old Pastor use to say preach all the time and when necessary use words. It is time that we started using Gods Word and declare it to a lost generation.
How will they know unless some one preaches?
Oh How HE Loves Us!!!
