Are You Wasting First-Rate Enthusiasm on a Second-Rate Cause?
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he who wins souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30
It's amazing what gets folks all excited. A Russian came to the United States during football season, and friends took him to a great bowl game. Afterward, they asked him what he thought about it.
Do you know what he said? “I've never seen so much first-rate enthusiasm for such a second-rate cause.”
What's the first-rate cause? What’s the most important thing? “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which is lost” (Luke 19:10).
Getting souls saved is what it's all about.
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30.
“Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.” Daniel 12:3.
You may have members in your family who are lost. One day they will die, and you’ll say, “My God, why didn't I witness?”
Why don’t you say this week, “I'II make my life a life of one thing. This one thing I do.” It's time we got excited about what excites God, our Father, and that's winning people to Jesus Christ, committed to the cause of the Holy Spirit.
