The old preacher, Vance Havner, used to say, “The tragedy of our time is that the situation is desperate, but the saints are not.”
 
Three weeks before President John Kennedy was assassinated, he said, “Almost all presidents leave office feeling that their work is unfinished.  I have a lot to do, and so little time to do it.”
 
As followers of Christ, we have much work to do and little time to do it.  The gospel is only good news if it arrives in time.
