If the Spirit of God is at work in your life, nothing will stop you from making this commitment. You have nothing to fear in telling someone that. You have nothing to fear in saying to someone, “I want you to think about this, I want you to consider the cost carefully.” You have nothing to fear. What you're doing is stopping people from superficial, non-saving delusion. You're backing them off and saying, let's find out whether this is really the work of the Spirit of God and what is happening in your life is not a momentary, emotional thing, but what is happening in your life is the true, regenerating work of the Holy Spirit producing an unrelenting repentance and an undying faith that will go through every barrier. You do all the important things in life by calculating carefully. This is the most important thing you'll ever do.

In the supermarket was a man pushing a cart that contained a screaming,
bellowing baby. The gentleman kept repeating softly, "Don't get excited,
Albert; don't scream, Albert; don't yell, Albert; keep calm, Albert." A woman
standing next to him said, "You certainly are to be commended for trying to
soothe your son Albert." The man looked at her and said, "Lady, I'm Albert."

Friday Bonus Joke
-------------

Eight-year-old Sally brought her report card home from school. Her marks were
good...mostly A's and a couple of B's. However, her teacher had written
across the bottom:

"Sally is a smart little girl, but she has one fault. She talks too much in
school. I have an idea I am going to try, which I think may break her of the
habit."

Sally's dad signed her report card, putting a note on the back:

"Please let me know if your idea works on Sally because I would like to try
it out on her mother."
