Acts 24:24-27<\/strong><\/p>\n

We live in a day of people seeking convenience.<\/strong>
\n God’s work goes undone because His people seek a convenient time to do it. Souls are in Hell today because they sought a convenient time to be saved.<\/strong>
\n Our jails are being filled today with young men that Mother and Dad failed to find a convenient time to take them to the house of God or to instruct them right.<\/strong>
\n We are cursed with a rash of convenience; we have become a self-centered in thought and action, finding no time for God.<\/strong><\/p>\n

IV: Are You Among the Convenient Crowd?<\/strong>
