Don’t just give lip service to the Lordship of Christ! Make your calling and election sure by making certain your actions reflect what you really believe.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and I’ll never forget my 93-year-old friend, Alice McIntyre – so fun-loving, always organizing parties for her unsaved friends so that they might hear the Gospel. Up until the week she passed away, this diminutive, well-dressed woman loved teaching the Bible. She also loved talking about the second coming of Jesus Christ. Alice always believed that she would live long enough to see the Lord’s return, because her famous line was, “After all, sweetheart, I never miss a good party!” Well, Alice passed away before she saw the Lord’s coming, but if she were sitting next to me now, she’d want to encourage you not to miss the party! Please, friend, just don’t give lip service to the Lordship of Christ; make your calling and election sure, as it says in the Bible, by making certain your actions reflect what you really believe. Because a party is coming, a heavenly party. And I don’t want you to miss it, and neither does Alice!
