Step
Forward Please  Once,
when five volunteers were needed to undertake a dangerous mission,
a general lined up his men and asked that all those willing to volunteer
take one step forward. During the process he said he would turn
his back, When he refaced his men, the line was intact. As he expressed
his disappointments that not a single man of the entire group was
brave enough to volunteer for the task, a corporal interrupted him
saying, "We all stepped forward, sir."Think what it would mean to the church if this was the attitude of our people. In spite of all the good that is being done in congregations throughout the brotherhood, know that it is still being done by a very small percentage of those who are members. Perhaps this is why Jesus said, "many are called, but few are chosen" (Matthew 22:14). Too many people wish just to be counted as a member of the church, but do not want to be counted as a worker in the church. For that reason someone else must carry the load that they should carry. Only a few are willing to really work for the Lord. Others allow weeks to pass into years without doing more than worshiping once per week and not even once per week if something comes up that they desire to do. They neither advertise, nor attend gospel meetings, much less invite and bring visitors. thousands die every day with the gospel, but it is not any of their concern. Religion has never meant anything to them, except as an escape from hell, and they are not using it enough to do that. But, suppose all of our people should step forward at once. The story would be much different. It is our hope and prayer that some day all of us will desire to be really loyal and work as the Master has commanded. Have you stepped forward for the Lord? • |
