Weekend, January 23, 2021 A Better Plan "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10 NKJV). A number of years ago in Albuquerque, New Mexico, there was a man named Earl who decided to take his own life one night. Earl was born in Turkey and raised in a Muslim home, but he rebelled against his father and moved to the United States. He married a woman and later divorced her as his life was going downhill. He was using a lot of drugs. One night, he went to his bank and withdrew all his money so he could go and buy drugs to end his life with an overdose. But as he was driving to the drug dealer's house, he turned on the radio and came across a Christian radio station. He liked the song that was playing, so he listened for a while. Then the announcer said the band was playing that night at the Harvest Crusade, which was at The Pit. The Pit is an arena in Albuquerque, and when Earl looked out the window, he realized he was driving past it. So Earl pulled over, got out of his car, and walked inside. He heard a song or two and then I got up to speak. And that night, Earl went forward and gave his life to Jesus Christ. He made a very good decision. |
