    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 22, 2025
     | 735 views

    This is a passage about a watchman. The analogy fits with our responsibility today to share the Good News. Unfortunately, that's a responsibility we often neglect.

    When one asks the question, "What must I do to be saved," accepting the answer we give will determine the eternal destiny for that person.

    You should be a fly on the wall around our house on Friday evenings. You see, Friday evenings are our night for ourselves. We try not to take on church things on Fridays, and unless you are at the point of death, you can wait for your pastoral call until Saturday morning. The pastor and his ...read more
