This is a true story. One Sunday several years ago, a couple attended a service of a local congregation near where they lived. For some reason they were not impressed with the service and planned to go to a denominational church the following Sunday. They had no intentions of returning to the first.
However, on Friday evening of that week, two members from the congregation visited in the home of this couple. These men had no idea of the good they were doing. The people were so grateful for the visit that they decided to return the following Sunday. They did, and kept coming. A short time later they were both baptized into Christ.
This man and woman are pillars in the Lord's church in a distant city. It would be impossible to calculate the tremendous good they have done during the years since.
Now why were they converted? Their salvation and all the good done since hinged on that one visit! Make an important call and visit this week! (borrowed)
Tol and I have always said you can never underestimate the power of a visit. This story illustrates that so clearly. We have similar experiences ourselves.
Visiting takes your personal time away from you and forces us to come out of our comfort zones but the results can be life changing--for you and the one you visit. Do you love other souls? Make the effort to visit others in their homes and show you care.
You and they will be glad you did.
