This week my family was faced with the possibility that our house could be consumed by a fire. In the middle of the chaos, my wife called me to ask what she should “save”. I quickly responded, “Our pictures and my guitars.” A neighbor of ours was loading up a 60 inch TV, others were loading up important papers, computers, etc. The whole situation made me ponder the question “what is worth saving?”

The Word tells us that we can’t take anything with us when we die. We’ve all heard the ridiculous saying that “He who dies with the most toys wins”. The truth is that he who dies with the most toys, still dies… the question will be not what he has, but WHO he has?

Bottom line for all of us is this: the only thing we can attempt to take to heaven is other people… are we doing everything we can to ensure that everyone has heard the Gospel? Have we made every attempt to make the name of Jesus known? If not, let’s get off our tails and do our jobs!!! If we are, it’s still not enough!!!! Until the whole world hears…
