Don’t Delay. Follow Jesus Today.
“They ought to have been here before you to object if they had anything against me. Or else let those who are here themselves say if they found any wrongdoing in me while I stood before the council, unless it is for this one statement which I cried out, standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you this day.’”
Acts 24:19-21

Ponder This
There’s an old story of a convocation of demons who met to find out the best way to damn the souls of men. They were having a strategy meeting and one demon stood up and said, “Let’s tell people there is no God, and if there’s no God they won’t need to repent and get saved.” They decided that wasn’t the best plan because the evidence for God was overwhelming. The fool says there’s no God. Another demon stood up and said, “Let’s tell them that while God exists, the Bible is not true. It’s a bundle of blunders and a book of lies.” They agreed that would affect some, but since inspiration for the Bible is so self-evident, that wasn’t the best plan either.
Finally, a chief demon stood up. He said, “Admit that God exists; admit that the Bible is the Word of God; admit that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world; and even admit that people need to be saved. But just tell them not to do it today.” And the demons agreed that was the best plan of all.
We cannot put off matters of faith. The time is now to repent, be changed, and be made new by Christ.
- What is a matter of faith that you have been putting off?
- What is dangerous about making it a habit to put off responding to the Word?
