The testimony of a man who neglected the Lord’s work-
I looked upon a farm one day, that once I used to own;
The barn had fallen to the ground, the fields were overgrown.
The house in which my children grew, where we had lived for years. .
I turned to see it broken down, and brushed aside the tears.
I looked upon my soul one day to find it too had grown,
With thorns and nettles everywhere, the seeds neglect had sown.
The years had passed while I had cared for things of lesser worth.
The things of heaven I let go while minding things of earth.
To Christ I turned with bitter tears and cried, “O Lord, forgive!”
I have not much time left for Thee, not many years to live.
The wasted years forever gone, the days I can’t recall.
If I could live those days again, I’d make Him Lord of all.
How unfortunate a word like “if” can be!
Matthew 7:26
Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Matthew 23:23
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.
Give it some serious thought.
