Get Some Passion!

Perry Noble, writing about a health scare with his wife, gives this charge to pastors:

"Pastors--one question for you before I go...I really felt led to ask all of you this, if you had just one more message to preach to your church...you knew that the following Monday God was going to call you home...and so you had one shot left...what would you say? What would you tell the people that you have the privilege to serve every weekend? Why don't you prepare that message--and say it! Preach like you have nothing to lose...go for it...pedal to the floor! I did on July 31...and it is one of the most freeing feelings in the world. Your people need to see fire and urgency...not political correctness or a wimp who is afraid of losing his paycheck!!! "

How are we doing as dads and husbands? What would you do and say differently today if you knew that God was going to call you home tomorrow?
