How Many Are You Taking With You? (John 14:6)

Nothing new, on purpose

DeWayne said up front that John 14:6 wouldn't blow anyone's mind. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. The reason to read it again was what happened the day before.

After the memorial

He'd been to a celebration of life where the pastor could say with total confidence where the man had gone. On the drive home, DeWayne and his wife talked about an older family member who isn't saved. It hit him that he leads Bible studies and a morning prayer call, but couldn't remember the last time he'd asked someone, "If you left this earth today, do you know where you'd be?"

No single script

Paul learned to speak to the educated and the uneducated, the rich and the poor. Know who's in front of you, pray a quick prayer, and let the Holy Spirit lead. Their decision isn't on you. Saying something is.
