Pre-Meeting Praise

I ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO ARRIVE EARLY FOR SERVICES AND STAY LATE. THURSDAY AT WILLIAMSBURG INDEP. BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE WAITING TO WELCOME THOSE MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE SERVICES. A VAN PULLED UP WITH THREE PEOPLE IN IT, I WALKED OVER TO GREET THEM WHEN I HEARD THE MAN ASKED FOR THEM TO GO ON INSIDE "THAT HE HAD SOMETHING HE WANTED TO TALK WITH ME ABOUT PRIVATELY".........SOMETIMES THIS CAN BE NOT SO GOOD BUT IN THIS CASE IT WAS WONDERFUL. THE MAN, FIFTY-SIX YEARS OLD, INDICATED TO ME THAT HE HAD GONE AS FAR AS HE COULD. I ASKED EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANT AND HE SAID "I NEED TO BE SAVED"........"I WOULD HAVE LET YOU KNOW ON TUESDAY EVENING BUT I AM AFRAID OF CROWDS".......THE LORD LET ME HELP HIM IN HIS DECISION TO TAKE CHRIST AS HIS SAVIOUR......HE PRAYED AND ASK FOR GOD'S FORGIVENESS AND FOR THE DEAR LORD TO SAVE HIM..........I PRAYED AND THANKED THE LORD FOR THIS UNSPEAKABLE OPPORTUNITY AND WE WALKED INTO THE CHURCH TOGETHER. HE INFORMED PASTOR OF HIS DECISION AND NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE WAS REJOICING. HE UNDERSTANDS THAT WHEN BAPTISED HIS SALVATION WILL BE MADE PUBLIC!
