Do Not Delay Lessons About Procrastination

1. Delaying Our Good Works Carries A Huge Cost.

Proverbs 24: I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; 31 And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down. 32 When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction: 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest; 34 So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.

2. Delaying Our Salvation Carries An Eternal COST!

22 But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the Way, he adjourned the proceedings and said, “When Lysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case.” 23 So he commanded the centurion to keep Paul and to let him have liberty, and told him not to forbid any of his friends to provide for or visit him. 24 And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. Acts 24

25 Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you.” 26 Meanwhile he also hoped that money would be given him by Paul, that he might release him.Therefore he sent for him more often and conversed with him. 27 But after two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix; and Felix, wanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.

3. Delaying Doesn't Have To Happen Number our days this week. Psa. 90:10, 12 The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow. So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. The way to “count our days” is to “make our days COUNT

3. Delaying Doesn't Have To Happen What one important task am I putting off? James 4:17 Ask a trusted Christian in your life if you aren't sure.

3. Delaying Doesn't Have To Happen What will fill the void left by my delay?  If we don't take our health seriously  If we don't teach our children the truth  Spouses – if you put off and neglect the love and respect God designed for your relationship  Brothers – if you won’t answer God’s call for leadership, Satan has wolves lined up he would love to put in charge

2 Friends Of Mine To Illustrate

Marcus Smith May the Lord bless you and keep you in his arms brother. You left an example for what a Christian should be. I know from the words and testimony of others that you will hear "well done thy good and faithful servant, enter in to the joys of thy lord.“ Thank you for sharing the last 3 years with us. You enriched our life and was a shining example to others of how a Christian should be. I am looking forward to seeing you in heaven bye and bye.

Bernie Schiner This is a very sweet moment and memory for me. I love Mr. Bernie and have learned patience, zeal, and what it truly means to be a servant from his example. I will always remember and be thankful for his wisdom and care he shared with every college student It's going to be hard to walk into Northwood & not be greeted by Bernie Scheiner, he was such a caring, loving, & god fearing man. He had such a big heart & had so much to teach others. God rest his soul.
