Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

That tomorrow shall come is not certain, but that everlasting destruction shall overtake the impenitent is certain. God has promised grace to the penitent soul, but He does not promise a tomorrow. -- Johann Gerhard, *Sacred Meditations* III

Greetings:

How odd to post at a time when I guess most of you are still in bed!

Yes, we absolutely need a sense of urgency in our dealings with those we are seeking to win for Christ. This passage is a timely reminder of all our mortalities.
