Things God Won't Ask • God won't ask what kind of car you drove; He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transporta- tion. • God won't ask the square footage of your house; He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home. • God won't ask about the clothes you had in your clos- et; He'll ask how many you helped to clothe. • God won't ask what your job title was; He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of our ability. • God won't ask how ma- ny friends you had; He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend. • God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived; He'll ask how you treated your neighbors. • God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation; He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven and not to the gates of Hell. Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" ( John 14:6). We invite all of you to come and worship with us.
