Twenty-five cents worth of Gas

    Twenty-five cents worth of Gas

When I was studying at the university in Arizona, I found a job pumping gas in a service station. I learned a lot about people pumping gas. Some people would drive up in a not so new car or an old clunker, and they would want me to put ten dollars’ worth of gas or just fill it up. On the other hand, I had some customers that drove up in real nice-looking cars, and they would only want a gallon or two of gas. They had the money because they would pay me with a five- or ten-dollar bill, so I named them my twenty-five cent customers. Sometimes I saw their cars down the road out of gas. Those twenty-five cent customers reminded me of something in the Bible. Many times, people only want a tiny, tiny part of God or they only want God to have a tiny, tiny part of them. Just enough to maybe get them to heaven. That is a very dangerous way to live or gamble, where we will spend eternity. Many of those twenty-five cent customers did not get where they wanted to go just as many will not be allowed into heaven because they did not know Him, (Jesus) or that He did not know them, (Matthew 7:21-24, Luke 13:22-28). Do not chance it; fill up your spiritual gas tank. Open our hearts and let God fill our tank, (John 5:24, Romans 10:9&10,13). See you in Church next Sunday. Brother J
