A Choice Must be Made – Joshua 24:1 – 24:18

Where many preachers fail

A man who owned a large manufacturing company visited a great city church during a business trip. After the service he congratulated the minister on his service and sermon. “But,” said, “if you were my salesman, I’d discharge you.” Of course, that raised a few questions from the Pastor. “You got my attention by your appearance, voice, and manner. Your prayer, reading, and logical discourse aroused my interest. You warmed my heart with a desire for what you preached. And then you stopped without asking me to do something about it. In business the important thing is to get them to sign on the dotted line.” Many preachers fail here. The time has come for all men of God to ask the same question that Joshua asked! In the words of Joshua, they must say to their hearts, “Choose you this day whom ye will serve”. (Source unknown).
