Three Little Devils

The story is told of three junior devils coming before Satan as they prepared to visit earth in order to destroy men's souls. The first one said that he'd try to trick men by telling that there is "no heaven." Satan replied that people have a natural hope and that this lie would not work very well.

The next one stepped up and said that he would try to convince people that there is "no hell". The devil responded that this wouldn't work either because every person has a conscience which warns them of hell—you couldn't fool them for very long.

The last demon offered his deception by simply stating that he would whisper there is "no rush" into the ears of all who would listen. The evil one rejoiced because he knew that people love to put things off. Their procrastination in little things would lead them to delay the more important things and cause them to neglect their spiritual lives until it would be too late — delicious plan!

This Sunday is the beginning of a new session of Bible classes. If you've been meaning to attend Bible school on Sunday and mid-week services, now is the time to begin. Don't listen to the little voice saying, "There's no rush, you can do it next time or after such and such an activity is over." That whisper isn't coming from the Lord.
