Late Spring, Early Summer

Image
“It was a glorious morning, late spring or early summer, as you care to take it, when the dainty sheen of grass and leaf is blushing to a deeper green; and the year seems like a fair young maid, trembling with strange, wakening pulses on the brink of womanhood.” Jerome K. Jerome, “Three Men In A Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)”  Ch. 6 (1889)

Vote Casting

I gave a gospel tract to a man coming out of Wal-mart. The tract told him that the public office is a high position, but there is a higher position we must attain. We must:

1) Accept the fact there is none righteous (Romans 3:10);

2) See self as God sees: all have sinned (Romans 3:23);

3) Sin hinders the race (Romans 5:12);

4) The race is more costly than any campaign funds could cover (Titus 3:5; Isaiah 64:6);

5) Someone has paid the price and the race is won (Romans 5:6);

6) The debt is paid (Romans 10:9-11);

7) Satan votes against you (1 Peter 5:8);

The office of Christian is not one taken lightly. One must count the cost and either serve the true and living God, starting with repentance; or, one may receive the due penalty for his sin by rejecting what God has done through the cross.

The vote is yours.

Will you cast you vote away, like this man did?
