As For Me and My Family
A preacher came calling on a man about his soul and was concerned about his salvation. The preacher pleaded with the man to come to Christ, but the man would not budge.
The next Lord's day when the invitation song was sung, the man responded. Walking down the aisle and clutching the preacher's hand, the man said, "Preacher, I want to 'get right' with God." He confessed his faith in Christ and was baptized for the remission of his sins (Acts 2:38). After the service, the man told the preacher what made him come to realize the great importance of accepting Christ as Savior.
He said, "Preacher, after you left my home the other evening, my little boy climbed on my lap. He said that he had heard what you said to me. He reached out his chubby little arms, hugged me real tightly, put his mouth up to my ear and whispered, 'Daddy, we don't want to be a Christian, do we?' Preacher, I went upstairs weeping, not realizing the terrible consequences of the example I was setting for my family. That's one reason why I obeyed the gospel . . . to get myself right with God so I can help my family to know Him!"
If this applies to you, don't wait, but get right with God to day. The eternal destiny of your child is at stake!
