Perhaps you saw the strange play in Saturday's Ravens vs. Steelers game? The play happened within the Steelers' 20-yard line. Twenty-one players thought a certain play was over. There was one problem, though. The referee hadn't blown the whistle! In the NFL it is drilled into you to "play until the whistle." What began as a Steelers' offensive play ended in a Ravens' defensive touchdown. Congratulations to the Ravens player who kept alert.
What a reminder to believers: Be fully engaged in evangelism, missions and discipleship until the trumpet sounds. Don't checkout prematurely. The game is on. Too much is at stake. Yes, I know Jesus is coming. The good news is that He hasn't come yet! Make every minute count. This is no time to take it easy.
1 Thess. 4:16; 1 Cor. 15:52
