Broken down, that's a little over one hundred thousand people each day that die without knowing Christ. Of those, two thirds will die without knowing Christ as their personal savior. It is estimated that sixty million people will die this year, worldwide. We don't care about this sign because we're less concerned about the souls of those who don't know Christ. If we never reach a single soul, but know Jesus as our Savior, we're still good. We don't follow this sign, because it's not our lives that swing in the balance. Why are we ignoring this sign? I have a thought on the answer to this question and if you don't want to be convicted by what I'm about to say, go back to YouTube now, because it's going to be rough. I mean, jay-walking? Nobody tickets for that anymore!" Sure, I get that, but let's look at another example. Do you obey it? Be honest with me, do you really? You may say, "Yeah, I follow it most of the time. Let's take the example to our left here, the friendly walk/don't walk sign found on thousands upon thousands of street corners the world over. I seethe with the fires of a thousand burning suns. Oh, and you can be the biggest jerk in Wal-Mart for all that I care, but if you park your car in the No Parking - Fire Lane just to run in quickly because you can't be bothered to find a space. I love rules! You can be the rudest person in the world and I'll get over it but if you park in a handicapped spot and aren't even remotely handicapped. I admitted to Jason some time back now that I am a rule-lover. I really don't care for this song, but the title fit - so I borrowed it. Confession: if you even recognize the song title that I borrowed for this post as the biggest hit of the Five Man Electrical Band, then I admit to you.
