WASTE MORE TIME

In his book God Came Near, Max Lucado tells this story:

Norman Geisler, as a child, went to a certain church because he was invited by some neighbourhood children. He went back to the same church for Sunday School classes for 400 Sundays. Each week he was faithfully picked up by a bus driver. Week after week he attended church but never made a commitment to Christ.

Finally, during his senior year in High School, after being picked up for church over 400 times, he did commit his life to Christ.

Max Lucado then makes the point: What if that bus driver had given up on Geisler at 395? What if the bus driver had said, "This kid is going nowhere spiritually, why waste any more time on him?" Well, I think we know the answer!
