A Good Excuse
Illustration★★★★If you have got a good excuse don’t give it up for anything I have said; don’t give it up for anything your mother may have said; don’t give it up for anything your friend may have said. Take it up to the bar of God and state it to Him; but if you have not got a good excuse--an excuse that will stand in eternity--let it go to-night, and flee to the arms of a loving Saviour.
The point
A preacher exhorts sinners to examine their excuses before God; only excuses that will stand in eternity matter, and without one, they should flee to Christ's arms.
