SAVE ONE MORE FOR JESUS

“SAVE ONE MORE FOR JESUS!”
Proverbs 11:30 KJV- “He that winneth soul is wise.”
In the PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE, Rick warren writes: “In 1999, my father died of cancer. In his final week the disease kept him in semi-conscious state 24 hours a day. As he dreamed, he’d talk out loud. Sitting by his bedside, I learned a lot about my dad by just listening to his dreams.
“One night near the end, while my wife, my niece and I were by his side, dad suddenly became very active and tried to get out of bed. Of course he was too weak, so my wife insisted that he lie back down. He persisted in trying to get out of bed so my wife finally asked, “Jimmy, what are you trying to do? He replied, ‘Got to save one more for Jesus! Got to save one more for Jesus.’ He repeated that phrase over and over. During the next hour, he probably repeated it a hundred times., ‘Got to save one more for Jesus! As I sat by his bed with tears flowing down my cheeks, I bowed my head to thank God for my dad’s faith. At that moment dad reached out and placed his frail hand on my head and said, as if commissioning me, “Save one more for Jesus! Save one more for Jesus!”
Then Warren continues, “If you want to be used by God, you must care about what God cares about most- finding His lost children! I intend for that to be the theme of my life.” How about you? Today, you are going to talk about Jesus!
