A Little Too Late

Last Friday morning, (Good Friday) I had the day off from work. I had to take my sons to school though; therein was the problem. They had agreed to get up and out the door early, but that didn't go as well as planned.

I got to the AM/PM near Cascade High School at around 7:20am. There was a group of about six kids cloistered between two shipping containers, smoking and talking, so I approached them and started handing out Million Dollar Bills. They were all excited and I heard them say wow, can I spend this. I said, no, don't spend it.

The LORD opened an opportunity to begin talking with them, I asked, what do you guys thing happens after we die. They said, you go to heaven and hell. I said where do you think you'll go when you die. Heaven, they answered. I asked, does everyone go to heaven. Yes, they answered. Even murderers and rapists, I asked. Yes, they answered.

Then I turned the conversion toward them, and made it more personal. I focused in on one guy, and asked him if he considered himself to be a good person, good enough to go to heaven. Sure he answered. I asked him if he had ever lied. He admitted yes. I asked him if he had ever stolen anything. He denied ever having stolen anything. I said, should I believe you, you just admitted you're a liar. He emphatically said, no, I've never taken anything. I asked him if he's ever downloaded music he didn't pay for. His head dropped, and he said yeah. So he admitted to being a thief. Lastly, I asked him if he'd ever used the LORD's name in vain. He admitted to that. I expained that was called blasphemy, and that the LORD would not hold him guiltless, whoever uses His name in vain.

I asked him if he thought he would be innocent or guilty, when he died and stood before God on judgement day. He admitted guilt. I asked him if he thought he'd go to heaven or hell. He said heaven. I asked why. Some girl in the background said, what if you ask God for forgiveness. Right then, another girl in the group looked at the clock on her cell phone and said, we have four minutes. I asked if they had to go, she said yes. I said, get going then, I don't want you guys to be late for school. As they left, I said don't forget to read the message.

That was a blessing to be able to witness of the law and conviction to them. I pray that they will be convicted to the point to where they reach out to God for mercy, and come to know the LORD Jesus Christ.

God bless...
