Respond!

Philippians 2: 9 - 11

⁹ Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

¹¹ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Last night I had the chance to officiate a funeral for two souls who died last Wednesday in a tragic fire.

You’re going to think this comment is just nuts, but I had the time of my life…yes, at a funeral.

I in no way spared the loving details of the Gospel. I was clear and concise, and there’s such freedom in telling the truth.

Actually, two local Democrat dignitaries were in attendance. Mark Harris, Winnebago Cty. Executive, and Gordon Hintz, 54^th District State Representative.

Both Albert and Colleen were staunch Democrats, but I think they still liked me. Actually, I know I liked them.

I spoke of the love of the Master, and the need to be saved in a good sort of way.

What struck me though, was that our church was packed last night with people who will one day bow and confess.

I watched the faithful ladies serve in the kitchen, and in their own loving way, they too, presented the sweet Gospel, to those who will bow and confess.

The young man who worked in our sound area, came all the way from Green Bay to serve this family…people who will bow and confess.

The lady who has played the piano/organ in our church for almost 50 years, was serving the greater good of the Gospel, to those who will one day bow and confess.

There was so much food, if you went hungry at that funeral luncheon, it would’ve been your own darn fault.

If you haven’t yet responded to the Gospel, maybe you should get that done soon?

Sinner and saved…Democrat or Republican…everyone one is going to bow and confess.

As my dear friend Dave Wager always says… “choose wisely”…
