A DESPERATE SITUATION

The old preacher Vance Havner used to say, "The tragedy of our time is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not."

Three weeks before President John Kennedy was assassinated, he said, "Almost all presidents leave office feeling that their work is unfinished. I have a lot to do, and so little time to do it."

As followers of Jesus Christ, we have much work to do and little time to do it. We must give ourselves to it. The times demand urgent action. Remember, the gospel is only good news if it arrives in time.

(From a sermon by Fred Markes, Bringing In The Harvest, 8/30/2011)
