Crossroads Vineyard Church Devotional > THURSDAY, August 22nd Quote: “The best part about procrastination is that you are never bored, because you have all kinds of things that you should be doing.” Well, Christians have much to do, but it is so exciting that we should never delay doing it. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” (Col. 3:23) If we put our hearts into our work, we will find it difficult to procrastinate. At the top of that list of things that we should never delay is sharing the gospel with the lost. There is no time to waste.

Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ 22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’ 23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banque
