All On the Field

Matthew 21.28-31  -“What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ ²⁹ And he answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind and went. ³⁰ And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.

Many start out ready to do a good thing, but for some reason, it just never seems to pan out.  Usually, it is a matter of priorities.  There are others, however, who get a late start and never stop.  Who would you rather have: a player that quits about halfway through the game or one who has a slow first quarter, but continues to warm as the game goes on?  I'll tell you who a coach would want.  A coach would want the guy who he could depend on in the fourth quarter when the game was on the line.

Folks, spiritually the game is on the line.  If we are not in the fourth quarter yet, we are closer than we have ever been.  As they say in football 'let's leave it all on the field.'  Let's make every effort in the time that we have left to do all that we can for the Lord, spend all the time we can with those we love, and have no regrets when the buzzer...I mean, trumpet...sounds! 

Go to Church today!  You need them.  They need you.  We all need the Lord!
