During a revival a young man said frankly that he did not wish to be a Christian.
When asked for his reason, he replied, "Several years
ago I was in a man's kitchen. He finding me there swore at me & kicked me
out. He was a professing Christian & from that time I decided never to have
anything to do with religion. And I never have to this day."
The young man was asked to write down his reason in full
& sign it. Then it was handed back to him with the words, "Take this
& when you are asked for your excuse on the Day of Judgment, hand this
up."
The young man saw his folly & came to Christ that night.
Are you letting the sins of others keep you from giving your
heart to Jesus? It will not stand the test of the judgment day.

“How many prodigals are kept out of the Kingdom of God by
the unlovely character of those who profess to be inside!” - Henry Drummond.
Lord Jesus said: “How terrible for you teachers of the Law!
You have kept the key that opens the door to the house of knowledge; you
yourselves will not go in, and you stop those who are trying to go in!” (Luke
11:52 GNT).
