One day a woman named Louise fell asleep in her bed, and dreamt a very frightful dream. She dreamed that someone in Hell wrote a letter to her, and it was to be delivered to her by a messenger. The messenger passed between the lakes of Hell, and found his way to the door that wuld lead him to the outside world. Louise dreamed that the messenger walked to her house, came inside, and gently but firmly woke Louise up. He gave her the message, saying only a friend had written it to her from Hell. Louise, in her dream, with trembling hands took the letter and read: My Friend I stand in Judgment now, And feel that you're blame somehow, On earth, I walked with you day by day, And never did you point the way. You knew the Lord in truth and glory, But never did you tell the story. My knowledge then was very dim; You could have led me safe to Him. Though we live together on earth, You never told me of the second birth, And now i stand condemned, Because youf ailed to mention Him. You taught my many thing, that's true, I called you "friend" and trusted you, But I learn now it's too late, You could have kept me from this fate. We talked by day and talked by night, And yet you showed me not the light. You let me live, and love, and die, You knew I'd never live on high. Yes, I called a "friend" in life, And trusted you through joy and strife. And yet on coming to the end, I cannot, now, call you "My Friend." ----Marsha After reading the letter, Louise awoke. The dream was still so real in her mind and sweat dropped from her body in pools. She swore she could still smell the acidic stench of brimstone and smoke from her room. As she contemplated the meaning of her dream, she realized that as a Christian, she failed in her duty to "Go out to all the world and preach the Gospel." As she thought of that, she promised herself that the next day, she could call Marsha and invite her to church with her. The next morning she called Marsha and this was the conversation: "Bill, Is Marsha there?" "Louise, you don't know?" "No, Bill, know what?" "Marsha was killed Last Night In A Car Accident. I thought you knew." So my dear friends, After reading this story, what have you learn? Its time to GO out and PREACH the Gospel! Don't just sit there reading...take your handphone and start sms-ing or call your friends to come for this coming CF Christmas event on 16th November 2005 at 2.30pm in KA512, Sg Long. Take this opportunity to bring your fellow non-believer friends and let them be saved! Don't wait until next time. There may not be another "next time" for your friend. Look what happen to Marsha! You are still sitting there? Hello....wake up!!! Don't you understand? If you don't invite your friends today, you won't be inviting them at all!!!!!!!!!! GO, take a step of Faith and invite! GO, walk the extra mile! GO, bring salvation to your friend! In Jesus name, we procliamed, Amen!
