It’s winding down, a day for remembering the greatest day in all of history – the Resurrection of Jesus Christ!   This was a high attendance Sunday.  Sitting in the choir gave me an advantage. I could see that the House was full, not packed out but full enough late comers needed help to find a seat.  Which said to me with 477 people in attendance the likelihood that ALL 477 of them are saved is slim indeed.  In fact I’d say the likelihood of it is between nil and none. And when we prayed and we sang and we prayed and the altar was not flooded with folks confessing their sins and pleading to be saved, I was sad – still am.  The nearly vacant altar proclaims that many walked in this Easter Sunday morning as Christ rejecters and walked out as Christ rejecters.How can that be?  There is nothing sadder or more tragic than being a Christ Rejecter.  To have heard that we are all sinners in need of a Savior and the Savior has come and the invitation is open to all to come, taste and see The LORD is good; come, taste and see that you can be forgiven, you can miss hell and gain heaven; yet they said no.  No thank You to Jesus Christ.  Did they hold the pew until their knuckles turned white?  Why?  Why did they say No?  And one might say how do you know they said no?  Because they didn’t say yes.  Anything but a yes is a no – not today is still NO. And NO equals Christ Rejecter, however it’s dressed.

Acts 26:
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe.”
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.” 29 And Paul said, “I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains.” 

I’m sad.  I’m wondering.  I’m longing to say something, do something.  Something so they will see.  Where did they all go after service? Are they remembering the words of the Pastor? Is the song It Is Finished still playing in their heads? Will there be another chance for them?  Why are the altars in the churches so vacant?  Do you know?

And what of IDOK – I have to ask.  Are we all saved? I wonder if on the receiving end of every IDOK email address if there is attached thereto a soul who has been wondrously saved.  If yes, please pray with me and for me and for yourself that the Holy Spirit will revive us, that our altars will no longer be empty. And if no (you’re not saved), why? Why would you continue to be a Christ rejecter?  Why would you say no to Him?  Why would you choose hell over heaven? Why?

Mark 8:
36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 

Anybody else out there feeling the same as me?  Anybody else wondering why?  Anybody else wanting to see some people saved?  What’s DADDY telling you?  What are we to do?
