The Play
2 Corinthians 6:2
“…behold now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation.â€
In the summer of 1961 I was thirteen years old. I volunteered to help with a play our church was presenting. There were several cast members and singers. The overall idea of the play involved people going through heaven’s gate to enter into eternity. Folks would walk down the aisle singing songs about heaven. When each one got to the gate, an angel shook her head yes, and the person entered. The last person to come down the aisle played the part of a staggering, drunken old man. When he came to the gate, the angel held up her hand and shook her head no. This gentleman’s performance was so outstanding, I was convicted of the sin in my life. I knew if I were to come to the gate that evening, I could not enter. The play concluded with the song, “Standing Outside†and an altar call. I ran to the altar and gave my heart to the Lord.
There are so many avenues youth groups, churches and woman’s groups can take to help the lost see their need for salvation. Maybe God is calling you to lead a project of this kind. Don’t be afraid. Just mind the Lord. Whom He calls He will equip.

PRAYER CORNER
Most, if not all of us, have friends or family who do not know Christ. Prayer can melt those hearts.
