Years ago, when I was in college I found a second job pumping gas in a service station. One thing that amazed me was the amount of gas people put in their cars.

Some people would drive up in a not so new car or an old clunker and they would want me to put five or ten dollars worth of gas or 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 the twenty-five cent customers.

Sometimes I saw their cars down the road out of gas. Those twenty-five cents 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 base 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, Luke 13:22-28). Do not chance it; fill up your spiritual gas tank. See you in Church next Sunday.
