Todays Turning Point with David Jeremiah Thursday, October 9 Now or Later But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Revelation 14:4 Recommended Reading Daniel 3:16-18 A well-known maker of automobile oil filters became famous for their slogan introduced in 1971: You can pay me now, or pay me later. ® The point was, its better to spend a little money on regular maintenance now than a lot of money on repairs later . The now or later principle applies to many areas of life -- even the spiritual life. During the coming Tribulation, God will send two witnesses into the world to testify for Him (Revelation 11:1-13). They will faithfully prophesy for God until they are eventually killed. But the world will be astounded when they are raised from the dead and taken into heaven. God always honors and rewards faithfulness in the face of persecution. It is better to pay whatever price is needed today to remain loyal to Christ than to risk the eternal cost of separation from Him. The time to make decisions about loyalty to Christ is today, not tomorrow when we are faced with the temptation to deny Him. Consider today what kind of witness you will be for Christ until He returns -- one who is faithful to Him. Popularity has killed more prophets than persecution. Vance Havner
