Ride the Pine or Get in the Game 🤐

It was on Monday February 9 2004 Doctor Albert Jeffries and his wife were on a vacation. It had been many years since they had been on any type of vacation. They both decided to take a cruise that would put them away from phone calls, ER trips and who knows how many visits to the nearby hospital. All was set the ship left from Miami on Saturday February 7. It did and Doctor Jeffries and his wife were enjoying their vacation and their rest. On Monday afternoon Doctor Jeffries told his wife Ann that he was going to get something and he would be right back. He went to the main dining area and grabbed a cup of coffee and headed back to his room. He heard and then saw a young mother screaming for help. As he went over to where she was he saw a young boy choking and turning blue. What does he do? He knows what to do to save this young boy from choking to death. But he tells himself he is on vacation and someone else will surely help. Don't they have a doctor on board? Surely he will come and save this young boy's life. But when the ship doctor got there the young boy had choked to death. I know what you are thinking. How could Doctor Jeffries just stand there and do nothing when he knew what to do to save this young boy's life? The answer is simple: he was on vacation. Oh my 😱 this is awful. Yes I agree but there is a dying world we all live in. Some of us know what to do when the opportunity arises but many times we do like Doctor Jeffries, just stand by and let someone else help when we could have helped. Then we leave and never say a word. Oh that’s awful. It matters not how much we know if we won’t use it in times of desperation. Jesus made it very clear to tell the Gospel to every one. What is the Gospel? The Death, Burial and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Mark 16:15 (KJV) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

The results to receive is not in your nor my hands,, 

Mark 16:16 (KJV) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

But our responsibility is to share what we truly believe.  

1 John 1:3 (KJV) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

1 John 5:12 (KJV) He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
