Tomorrow

(#71, Yermo/Hinkley/Kelso/Dagget, 1947; Imperial, 1955, 1968)

Read Exodus 8:1-15; James 4:13-14.

Procrastination has been called the thief of time.  More than that, it robs heaven of many souls.

Statistics show that out of an audience of 4000 believers...

w   3200 came to Christ before they were 20 years old;

w   400 between ages 20 and 30;

w   17 between ages 50 and 60;

w   1 between ages 60 and 70;

w   and none above age 70.

God says "Now is the day of salvation".  "Seek ye the Lord while He may be found" (Isa. 55:6).

Believers also procrastinate, putting off until tomorrow the sharing of the gospel with someone.

w   Tomorrow I will read my Bible.

w   Tomorrow I will pray.

w   Tomorrow I will give up that certain sin.

Why should we not wait until tomorrow?

Life is a vapor, James 4:14.

This past week 84 people died in an air crash in Texas.  Tomorrow never came for them.  This is repeated day after day for many.  Tomorrow never comes!

We know not what tomorrow will bring forth, Prov. 27:1.

It is foolish for a doctor to prescribe medicine to be taken in a month.  The patient might be dead by then.  But the reasoning is just as foolish to put off Christ for awhile. 

Sin hardens the heart, Heb. 3:13; Prov. 29:1.

Tomorrow I will not feel or think or desire the same as today.  A day of saying "no" to Christ often leads to hardening, so that saying "no" to Christ the next day is done more quickly.

Christ may come today, Matt. 24:44.

All we have for certain is today.  Yesterday has gone forever.  As Christ told Nicodemus, "Today I must abide in thy house."  Tomorrow is the devil's day.

By delay the sinner prolongs his moral suffering, abuses Divine mercy, can obtain no other method of help, and may be eternally lost!

Delay is unnecessary.  Delay is common.  Delay is fatal.
