I MET A serious-minded young fellow recently. He said that he fully intended to be a Christian. I asked him, When? He said he did not know.
"Will you decide for Christ and salvation tonight?" I asked, after a very solemn talk together.
"Not tonight" he replied.
"Shall we say then, the last day of the year?"
"That would be too far off."
"I am glad you think so" I said. "What about the last day of this month?"
"Things might happen before then."
"So they might. Will you make the decision next Sunday evening?"
I saw that he was fidgeting and uncomfortable, so I pulled out my pocket diary and handed it to him with a pencil. "Just put a mark against the day that you fix on," I said.
He took the diary and fingered it aimlessly. Then suddenly he thrust it into my hand, saying, "It shall be now!"
And then and there he took the vital step that means salvation to all who take it.
I ask you, dear reader : Was that young fellow wise or not to decide for Christ right then? If you say he was wise, are you going to do the same? If not, why not?
