Turning sinners from the error of their ways

DURING THE ATTACK on Pearl Harbor, nurses ran out of marker and so they used their own lipstick write to write on the foreheads of wounded patients…

“M” meant a sailor had received morphine.

“C” meant he was in critical condition.

“F” meant he was fatally wounded.

THOUGHT:  Imagine nearly all of the people you meet in your daily walk has a letter “F” on their forehead.  They are fatally wounded by sin (Romans 3:10, 23; 6:23 and its effects.  Will you simply stand by and watch them perish, or will you offer them the ONLY life-giving, soul-saving, cure (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)?

“Let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.”  James 5:20; cf. Jude 23
